This was not an easy task as at least half of those submitted were mote excellent A number of the contestants seemed however to lose sight of the subject and devoted their time to describing the methods of making butter and ice cream rather than to a discussion of why Clover Leaf brands excel. One or two of the very best ones offered, were ruled out because of the fact that instead, of 250 wordt they submitted nearly twice that number. The children however showed excellent judgment and ability and each is deserving of honorable mention. M. F. WORTHMAN REV. OTTO PETERS JOHN H.

ARE CLAIMING IT Indianapolis Also Feels She Has National Yeoman’s Home Located. A BIG PROPOSITION Will Build Number of Cottages to Care for 5,000 — Spend Millions. The following from the Indianapolis News gives an idea of the plans of the Yeomen’s lodge for the location of their national home: "Indianapolis may be the site of tho proposed orphans’ home to be erected by the Brotherhood of American Yeomen at a cost of about $10,000,000 it was announced Saturday by R. L. Hill, state manager of the organization. The proposed home was authorized at a quadrennial concave of the brotherhood in Denver last June and xt that time Woolhorst, Colo., near Denver, was regarded as the most likely site. The site at Woolhurst has been discarded, however, Mr. Hill said, and the committee in ■harge of the building of the home is looking for a central location that ’tnbraces all advantages such as good climate, good traveling faciliies, good water and drainage. One thousand acres of ground will be required to accommodate the buildings to be built and even after the site is decided upon considerable difficulty will arise in obtaining moygh ground in one piece. Mr. Hill said the home will be built on a dan similar to Mooseheart home at Vlooseheart. 111. The children will itudy technical subjects and the genjral academic work taught in high schools. When a child is old enough o enter college he will be well fitted. The buildings will be arranged in ?ottage style, each dormitory to ac iomniodato about fifty children. The noney for the school is to be raised yy initiation fees, by dues and in the organization, and by’ contribution, ind the children of any member of he brotherhood will be eligible. When completed the institution will 3are for about 5.000 children. Professor A. N. Farmer, of Grand tapids. Mich., secretary of the national committee of the brotherhood, n charge of the home, will be in Iniianapolis in about two weeks and be will interview a number of busiless men and real estate men to get m idea of possible sites near Iniianapolis. Mark T. McKee, of Den ■ret, is chairman of the home committee. A committee of members of the Inlianapolis chapters of the brotherhood has been appointed to meet Mr. Farmer when he arrives in the city. The committee is composed of Norman E. Carter, chairman and state president of the Yeoman organization; M. F. Rush, R. E. Glidewell, Charles Bockstoder. S. E. Malone. Edward Kappas, Catherine Weisback, Inna Edington, and Jesse Addcock. T.

ISSUES WARNING Western States Advise Tuberculosis Patients to Stay Away Unless THEY ARE POSSESSED — With Sufficient Funds to Support Selves — Many Applying for Aid. The campaign of tho Indiana Tnbercuosls association to warn Hoosiers of the suffering that may ensue if they seek other climates in an effort to cure tuberculosis, in case they do not huve sufficient money to pay for adeqquate care and treatment for several years, has received an impetus through statements by health authorities in several western states,! usually regarded an "cure” states. From Denver has come the following message: "If climates alone could save these sufferers. Denver would welcome them, not only for humanitarian reasons, hut because of the debt she owes to the tuberculous, who have come here with sufficient money to regain their health, and who have helped to make her what she is. But for the best interests ->f those tubercuous who have no money, their migration to the west should be cheeked.” The Caifornia state board ot health has sent out Jthe following warning: “Tuberculosis demands rest, food, fresh air and peace of mind. This may not mean a change of climate. California has no public institutions with free care for nonresidents. With money to live for a year, come, but do not rely on finding light work for support. The state nioard of health warns you. because it wishes to spare your homesickness end suffering from financial strain." The Texas Public Health association has issued a warning: "If you ravel for your health, remember that the tuberculous need good food, rest, .’resh air, sunshine and cheerfulness. Change of climate is not aways suf ftcient. Texas has very little Tight work’ for the tuberculous. Texas has no free tuberculous hospitals for nonresidents. Do not come unless you have money for a year or more; but Jo not depend upon finding light work for support.” Murray A. Auerbach, executive secretary of the Indiana Tuberculosis association, is sending to county tuberculous associations throughout Indiana, copies of these warnings and urging that education ot tuberculous persons in Indiana, be undertaken with a view of inspiring them with a desire to “get well in Indiana. A report from Los Angeles said that 1,171 of 3.103 tuberculosis persons of less than two years’ residence in that city, had applied for aid from charitable or heath associations. The report said 45 per cent had been in i the city less than three months when i they were compelled to ask for aid. o — TALI TO STUDENTS Dr. Winfield Scott Hall, Former Dean of Northwestern Medical School WILL HAVE CHARGE Os Chapel Exercises at High School—Other Meetings Being Arranged.

Barrie. Two very clever plays written by ( James M. Barrie, were presented at , the library last evening by the dra- • made section of the Woman's club " for the pleasure of the club members ‘ and their guests. , The first play to be presented, “The Twelve Pound Look.” gave the spectators a peep into the life of a man who dominated over his wife and children and was very desirous of having them envied by all others. He prided himself on being a good ‘ husband, providing every luxury, and also on the fact that he "Knew Women.” As the story is unravelled the fact comes to light that the husband who was deserted by his first wife fourteen years ago, needs a typest to answer the congratulations of his friends upon the fact that he is soon to be made a knight. It happens that the typest is his former wife and an extremely interesting conversation ensues. His former wife had secretly worked to earn twelve pounds and when she had accomplished this, figuring that she could now.support herself by means of her twpewriter. left her husband and every comfort that he had provided, for the joy of knowing real life and living her own life, and making her way in the world by means ot the typewriter. When this is expained to the husband, he of course cannot understand and scarcely believes that his former wife left his hearth for the mere pleasure of earning her own living. Finally he calls In his present wife and after a brief conversation with her, during which he almost deluges her with offers of pearls, jewels, etc., he dismisses the typest. The little pljaylet was cl.everly worked out and presented in a manner to hold the intereest entirely throughout. The cast was as follows: Sir Harry Simms—Gertrude Hite Mrs. Simms; —Fanny B. Hite Kate, the typest and former wife of Sir Harry—Faye Smith Knapp Hilda, a maid—Virgene Smith. The second play, "Rosabud,” I told the interesting story of an actress who longed to live the life ' of a middle-aged lady that she really was, but must continue deceiving each and all and keep forever enticingly young. One month a year the actress stole away to a secluded cottage and here en{joyed the comforts of middle aged life with a quaint dame who kept lodgers. While she is here she tells of her beautiful daughter, Beatrice who is an actress but is in reality the middle aged lady herself. During her visit a young admirer of Beatrice appears and tells Beatrice's "Mama how much he thinks of file young actress Beatrice. Finally the youth is convinced that he is talking to Beatrice herself and is broken heart- . ed to find that his Rosalind is so old. At this time Beatrice receives a telegroin from her manager calling her > back to the stage and her brief vacu- ’ tion is ended. By this time the young i admirer is full of pity for her and I gallantly offers to be her prop . through old age. Beatrice who has . been inffide packing her bags and I listening to the talk of the lad sud- - denly appears as youthful, as gay, as enticing as ever and the two depart, , amid much laughter. Beatrice content j . once more with stage life and the I youth happy with his Rosalind. I The cast included: , Dame Quickly—Olive Peterson. Charles Roche, the young admirer —Faye Smith Knapp. I Beatrice Page, the actjress, as t Rosalind —Marie Porter. 3 Mr. and Mrs. Henry Mayor have re- ' turned from Ohio City where they L went to attend the funeral of the former’s uncle.

Johnson. United Press staff correspondent) Indianapolis, Mar. 21 —(Special to Daily Democrat) —Nearly ninety live per cent of the 500.000 union coal miners in America favor throwing down (heir picks April 1 to force mine owners into wage scale conference. Count of tho strike vote in pro-g-ess at United Mine Workers headquarters here today showed a greater majority favoring the suspension than was anticipated it was learned. Auditors of the union were tallying the vote from Illinois, the largest district in the union. The three anthracite districts centering around Scranton, Hazleton and Shamokin. Pa., piled up a majority for the suspension along with the bituminous districts in Ohio, Indiana. Central Pennsylvania. Washington and tho Pittsburg and Brazil Indiana districts. The overwhelming majority from these districts cannot be overcome ir. the vote yet to be counted. Anthracite nonunion workers will join the union men in the strike, according to predictions at union headquarters, making a total of approximately 600.000 men idle after April 1. Six thousand of the nation's 7,500 mines will be closed when the operators and miners go to the mat. Their fight is directly over the operators constant refusal to negotiate a new wage scale to supplant the one expiring March 31. But it indirectly involves the miners demands for a six hour day, five day week and the operators position for lower wages. Striking miners will not receive strike benefits from the international union, but local and state unions may Help their members financially. Union chiefs comprising the policy committee will meet in Cleveland next Friday to formulate strike policies. DR. ZIMMERMAN DEAD Richmond, Ind.. March 21. —Dr. W. W.
