DECATUR DAILY DEMOCRAT, WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 28, 1922.

MONROE NEWS Mr. Noah Mangold of Decatur was ' in town Monday looking after the oil business. Miss Gray, a trained nurse from the Lutheran hospital, Fort Wayne, arrived here to be at the bedside of Mrs. C. W. Merryman, who is quite sick. Our people were shivering on Monday morning, with the thermometer ' registering 10 below; also 10 below I zero on Wednesday morning at 7 I o’clock. Quite an attraction for our people was the new Inter-City Transit company’s new passenger car which made its initial trip on Tuesday evening, beginning its regular schedule from Fort I Wayne to Portland. The car was a tine one, on the passenger coach system, heated and lighted and and promises to be a permanent fixture, when the people of this community will now have an oportunity to go to and from this place three times a day. either north or south.. The following iis the schedule: Cars going north leave Monroe at 8:20 a. m., 1:20 p. m. and 5:20 p. m. Gojng south: 8:40 a. m., 1:40 p. m. and 5:40 p. m. The annual farmers’ institute was held in the auditorium in the school house on Tuesday, presided over by George McManama. An unusually large crowd was in attendance and the institute was an interesting, as well as a very instructive one. The meeting for the day opened with a Scripture reading by Rev. S. Q. Zechiel, of the M. E. church, and invocation by the Rev. Reichenbach of the I Friends’ church. Song by members lof the high school. The, first subject on the program was “Worth-while Organization for Farm Women,” which was a wonderful talk by Mrs. IJndley, of Salem, Ind. She gave some good points as to the organization of Women’s Farmers’ ’clubs .and told of the many good things accomplished in their work in the Immediate community and a great benefit to every county, and urged the women to band together and put their shoulder to the wheel and do their duty. “Livestock I and Permanent Organization" was the I subject of the talk given by Mr. M. /Johnston in which he fully explained many good things on the subject. The dinner was the next attraction, and was one of the most substantial events of the institute. Farmers arrived with well-filled baskets, and at the noon hour the good ladies spread the repast before the hungry crowd. The dinner consisted o£ plenty of chicken, and all the other good things to cat, as are usually found at a basket dinner. The afternoon session was opened by a song. “Star Spangled Banner," by the audience. “Our Girls” was the subject talked upon by Mrs. Lindley .and was beyond dobut one ; of the best talks ever heard on any i occasion. She gave special advice to mothers, and made a heart-to-heart talk to the young girls, which was chuck full of advice and admonished them to stay on the farm, and told them how to make model and good farm-wives and home-makers. The musical part of the institute program was especially fine, consisting of songs, musical selection, and the rendition of several selections by the Monroe school orchestra, which showed that it is rapidly coming to the front. County Agent Martin Busche gave a good talk on “Tuberculosis in Cows,” followed by Dr. Parrish, who gave a very interesting talk on “Tuberculosis,” in Which he claimed the dreaded disease is caused by unsanitary conditions at many homes throughout the country. The farmers’ 'institute for this year will go down in history as one among the best ever held here. < . , Talking by telephone from a moving trolley car with a point more than three miles distant, recently took place on the lines of a New York electric railway company. This feat was accomplished by using the trolley wire as a carrier of another current which transmitted the message. - COX TO TAKE LEAD Dayton, Ohio, lan. 25—(Special to Daily Democrat)—James M.

."Che- „„ American (Copy tor Thio Department Supplied by the American Lotion Newt flervioo.) HE WAS WELCOMED BY FOCH St. Paul Janitor, Former Comrade of the Noted Generalissimo, Is Grantsd Long In'irview, "Djll-Allah Laquat!” These mystic words meant something that caused Marshal Foch of

France to receive an unsung Janitor in bls rooms at midnight. The incident occurred during the g e n e r allssimo’s visit to St. Paul, Minn., as a guest of the American Legion. It is still being talked about. It was the longest Interview Foch granted dur-

Sat

Ing his tour of 42 states. The Arabic legend, written on a postal card by the Janitor, one Charles Schweitzer, was an open sesame. The words formed the name of two engagements in whleh the Janitor, then a sergeant, and Foch, then a lieutenant, fought with units of the First Colonial regiment in Algiers In 1877, it was learned. Foch remembered the names, and knowing that only s comrade of his Algerian regiment would know them, sent for him forthwith. “The marshal is the same kindly man and good soldier that he was in Algiers," the Janitor said, after his visit with the generalissimo. “Who knows? I might have been a general if I’d stayed in the army with him.” HIGH HONORS TO CARLSTROM Veteran* of Threo Wars Appreciate Work of Head of Spaniah-Ameri-can Organization. Veterans of three wars honored Oscar E. Carlstrom, Illinois. He is national com-mander-in-chlef of the United Spanish War Veterans. > a He was one of the O 50 men who organized the fore- I , v runner of the K (jbY* ~ American Legion in Paris in 1919. He is a member by adoption of ’v. the G. A. R. Mr. Carlstrom dWT? was a private in the war with Spain, serving in the Philippines. Later he was captain in the National Guard of Illinois. He commanded a battery of field artillery in action in France. At Minneapolis last year he was elected chief of the Spanish War Veterans. He was one of the 50 men chosen to represent the two million members of the American expeditionary force in France to organize what later became the Legion. Company C. One Hundred and Second Infantry, G. A. 11., of Illinois, adopted him as a member. Mr. Carlstrom is a lawyer. NATION’S LOVE FOR LEGION “They Like U»—But" Is Attitude of Public, According to National Commander MacNider. "They like us—but” is the attitude of the nation towards the American Legion, according to Hanford MacNider, commander of the Legion in the first address of his speaking tour at Philadelphia. “We have to build up a spirit in the Legion and do the right thing always, and in time we will have the confidence of the people,” Mr. MacNider continued. “Men who offered all they had to the country have a right to the confidence of that country. They should have a voice in its affairs, for they never would want to do a thing contrary to the country’s Interests.” By building up a “spirit” among the members of the Legion and creating n comradeship with “our companions in arms in England, France, Italy and the other countries,” more can be done for peace than in any other way, the speaker claimed. Te Aid of French Friends. To save from the almshouse a family in a Trench village in which his battery had been billeted, William B. Follette, formerly of Oregon but now living in Paris, recently appealed to members of his old command to send him contributions. The family was known to all the men of Mr. Follett’s battery and they liberally responded to keep their French friends from want. To Lose Canal Zone Jobs. More than 700 service men of the World war may be thrown out of employment In the Panama canal zone, following the government's sweeping reduction in personnel, according to a report filed by the American Legton at Washington. The number of' civilian employees in the canal zone has been reduced 40 per cent since March 4, 1921.

Fret fulness and nervousness rapidly destroy good dispositions. Sickly, all-worn-outwomen cannot make happy homes. Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound is a safeguard of womeen’s health.
