Superintendent Christen Received Data from State Normal School i t Twenty-seven and five tenths percent of the rural schools in Adams II county were cousolidated during the period from 1890 to 1920, according to r lata collected by Professor Shockel and sent to E. S. Christen, county suf perintendent of schools for Adams i, county, by L. N. Hines, president of '■ the Indiana State Normal School. Professor Shockel collected the data s in every county in the state for the purpose of determining the progress made in rural school consolidation by the various counties from its begin ning to 1920. Twenty-five rural schools in Adams county have been abandoned during the period. The data shows that three counties, Crawford, Martin, and Pike, did not consolidate a single school during the period, while ninety per cent of the rural schools in Mar ion, Montgomery and Randolph counties were consolidated. In six counties the consolidation was ten per cent or less; in evelen counties it was eleven to twenty-five percent; in thirty five counties, it from twenty-six a t > fifty per cent; in twenty-one counties it was from fifty-one to seventylive per cent; and in nine it was from seventy-five to ninety per cent. The amount of assessed taxable property por pupil in Adams comity, as shown by the report of Professor Shockel, was $7,00(1. TEN CENTS FINE FOR BATHING SUITS I I’rexH Slair Corrmpnndent Honolulu, May 24 —It costs 10 cents in a court fine to walk the streets, of Honolulu in a bathing suit. This is the sum settled upon by Judge J. B. Lightfoot as a fine for violators of the Desha bathing suit law, which forbids bathers going from their homes to the beach at Waikiki, without wearing a “suitable outer garment.” Judge Lightfoot declared the law absurd, and the city prosecutor agreed with him. But as the law must be upheld, a fine of 10 cents, with court costs remitted, was decided upon for the men witli handsome figures and the women with shapely forms, who parade 1 to the beach in one-piece suits, overcoats, bathrobes, kimonos, etc. “It looks far worse to steo a man removing his trousers In the presence of Sunday crowds at. the beach than it , does to see him walk a few blocks in his bathing suit,” declared the judge.

McConnell & son Distributors BLUFFTON MAY BE CUT OFF FROM MAIN LINE OF TME CLOVERLEAF R. R. According to information Bluffton will be cut off from the main east and west trunk line of the now Nickle Plato system when the schedules are filially arranged for the system which now controls the Nickle Plate, CloverIxiaf and Lake Erie Railroads. According to this information, tenative Viaus and schedules are now under consideration, running through fast trains from Buffalo to Fostoria, Ohio, over the Nickle Plate, from Fostoria, over the Lake Erie through Muncie and Tipton to Frankfort, and from Frankfort over the Clover Leaf to St. Louis, making the route 17 miles shorter from Buffalo to St. Louis than any other line. Bluffton would be placed on a main line route from Ft. Wayne to Indianapolis, byway of Bluffton, Marion, Kokomo, Tipton and Indianapolis. The , Ft. Wayne to Connersville branch of the Lake Erie would bo continued as at present through Bluffton, both divisions coming into a union depot , here, the present Clover Leaf station ’ probably being used. This will greatly benefit freight con- ( dltions here, it is stated.—Bluffton Banner. It is not known' whether this pro- , posed change will affect the Clover Leaf schedule in Decatur.
