COLUMBUS WOMAN HAS SENT FIVE OF CLOSEST KIN TO FIVE AMERICAN WARS Columbus, Ind., June B.—Grandma Martha Crifser, 86, of Nlnevah, a small town near here, has sent four of her doest kin to be sacrificed on the altars of five American wars. She has heard her husband, Henry Crister, Who enlisted in the'American army in the War of 1812, tell of battles with the British and Indians. He was stationed at a Blockhouse at Detroit under the command of General Hull; who was charged with failure to defend his post. In 1848, she saw her brother-in-law, Robertson Critser, march away under General Scott to take part in the Mexican war. And she saw him return, stricken with fever, contracted in the teacherous mountains of Mexico. Later, when the Civil war broke out, she bid farewell to her brother,, Ben Sconce, who went away to fight under General Sherman, and who was in the famous march to the sea. She heard from the comrades of her grandson, William Critser, who went to the Spanish American war, never to return, tell of the battle of San Juan hill, and how her grandson was I

But the twenthieth century author of cheap fiction lias no imagination sufficiently vivid to tell such things before they really happened according to Sheriff Albert Fowler. Little Davie was locked in jail for stealing. Officials had compassion for his tender years. The released him. Immediately he stole three bicycles and a horse before officers struck his trail, Sheriff Fowler said. He stole another horse and the sheriff started after him. The boy learned ho was being pursued. He abandoned the horses and stole another horse and buggy. The sheriff still pursued. Davie traded the outfit to a negro for a shotgun. Then he traded the shotgun to another negro for rifle. He pawned the rifle for sl. When the sheriff caught up with him Davie had sixty cents left.

ARENA BATTLES FOR LEGION Famou« Cattllllan Matador, Ex-Qor. man Fighter, Stage* BloodJaaa Conflict* With Angry Bull*. To show that bull-fighting la really as simple, and as bloodless, and as

■I V *

bull-flgitter. When he goes mto the ring with his tire-breathing animal, lit* carries a small red cloth to make the animal wroth. He carries no sword and trusts entirely to hi* adroit footwork to save him from embaivassment at the horns of the bull. He wears a genuine costume of red velvet trimmed with gold, valued al $2,000. The Legion has picked up the idea of “bloodless bull-fighting,’’ and recently staged an encounter In the Jersey City stock yards with the matador armed with a fence picket. Although the matador had to jump the fence on several occasions Jn order to keep the true “bloodless’’ nature of the affair he succeeded in putting on a good battle. SKETCHES WON THE RECRUITS Alvan Hadley, Crayon Artirt, Now “Drawing" Some of the Prrmii nent Legion Men. Alvan O. (“Hap’") Hadley, crayon expert and ex-martne, travels with a Greenwich V 11-

lage troupe. He probably recruited more marines by his clever sketches, during the war, than any other Individual. No one that ever looked very hard at one of his pictures ever stayed out of the marines, and no one that ever looks

very hard now ever stays away from his show. He is at present busy sketching prominent members of the American Legion, outside of “hours,” for publication in newspapers. When "Hap" enlisted In the marine corps at Paris island, a red-necked sergeant asked him what his occupation was. "Artist,” said Hap. So the sergeant put him to work white-washing garbage cans. The crowning disappointment of Hap’s life is that he never ran across that sergeant again. JOBS FOR EX-SERVICE MEN Civic Organizations Co-Opsrating With American Legion to Find Work for Ex-Soldiers. Civic organizations are co-operating with the American Legion in every city, town and hamlet throughout the country to put across the nationwide drive for employment for the 700,000 ex-service men now out of a job. The Legion is aiming to get men Into jobs by stirring up the Industrial life in communities. Distribution of employment by changing men on daily shifts; pushing of engineering projects, bridge repair and county highway improvement; speeding up of municipal and public utility enterprises—woodyards, recreation centers, dredging, Installation of telephones, paving; reforestation and reclamation projects; truck gardening, with the establishment of community gardens worked by ex-ioldler labor; stimulating building of all kinds; encouragement of the "back-to-the-farm movement"—these and many more methods are being used to give the distressed jobless man a chance once more te do a day's work. / Carrying On With the « American Legion With mingled feelings, Legion men read that the old yellow, groaning Paris taxi-cabs—the vehicles that took GalUeni's army off to tight on the Marne, are to be replaced. • • • A United States marine sold the United States superdreadnaught New Mexico to a retired farmer at Long Beach, Cal., fortbOO cash. Navy officials, however, refused to deliver the ship. * • • An Oklahoma sheriff allowed three "killings" to take place without much opposition. Ewing 0. Londe*, commander of the Ardmore post of thj American Legion, was appointed h| successor. • • • Varying conditions existing la the different parts of the country will largely determine what proportion of service men will desire cash payment, the Legion has learned from its referendum votes. Blind beggars sometimes have good eyesight, the American Legion has found. One "ex-soldfer” with medals bought from a hock shop was caught taking S6O an hour from New York 8 theater crowds.

INSPECTOR OF HOUSING CONDITIONS REPORTS MUCH FILTH CLEANED UP NOW Indianapolis, Ind., Juno 24.- Hun drsds of examples of squalor, filth, and of people living in one-room shacks in Indiana have been cleaned up, according to W. F. Sharp, chief inspector of the housing division of tho state board of health today. Sharp has conducted inspections in forty cities in tho state, ho said, but he has hardly "scratched the surface.” There are about ninety cities to be visited altogether—cities In which ten ants are to be inspected for violation of the state housing law which was enacted in 1913 and first enforced the first of last October, and the law of 1917. Half of the buildings which tho di I vision has inspected, he said for violation of the 1917 law’ which deals with buildings unfit, for human habitation, have been cleaned up. Many of the houses which wore ordered torn down were shacks with no windows and covered with any kind of material which was not often imper vious to the weather. A restaurant run by negroes was an example ho told of. He said it was a narrow’ shed about fifty feet long and the negroes lived some way hud died up in about twelve feet of the ♦•nd of it, he said, rats were found crawling over the tables. Indiana, however, Sharpe said, ranks highly among other states in the enforcement of its housing laws and the scarcity of poor dwellings. ; CARLOAD OF CREOSOTE OIL TO BE USED FOR FIGHTING CHINCH BUGS Bluffton, June 27. —The carload of 1 creosote oil which is to be used for fighting chinch bugs has arrived in town and will be distributed at Frank Stafford's elevator instead of at Rinehart Bros,, as was planned at first. The • farmers’ association is back of this . proposition because the directors ' know what a serious menace is before ■ the farm industry. Tlie corn crop is i ■ being threatened, and that is tlie big- ! gest crop of Wells county. Past experience has proved that creosote soil is i the most effective barrier known. And I if all things are considered it is the j cheapest although dusty trenches are 1 quite efficient. The idea should be to ■ get the insects into some trap and L there destroy them. Post holes in tlie 1 bottom of the trenches or along the ! barriers aro, easily constructed and . serve the purpose. They should be , dusty and made with a flaring top with dust sprinkled on the sloping surface. The insects seem to fall into these holes more rapidly titan when they are not made flaring. This oil is being sold at cost except i a low handling charge.

“Open Sesame” ALT BABA murmured the magic words, the cavern door swung open and costly treasures lay at his feet. You. too, have an “open sesame” to the treasures of the world. It is advertising. Read the advertising and you open the door to countless comforts and conveniences you otherwise would miss. For advertising will spread before you the product of fields, looms and factories the world over things that make life easier, happier, more interesting and more fruitful for you and your family There is no questioning the real benefits that come from regular and systematic reading of the advertising columns. No other one thing will give you such economy and keen satisfaction in every-day buying. Advertising is far too important to be overlooked. Read it every day. It is a profitable practice.
