Clinton Was Healthiest City in State in 1921 Indianapolis, Oct. 12. —Clinton was the healthiest city in Indiana in 1921. It had a lower death rate from preventable diseases than any othei town, statistics compiled by the state board of health today showed. Although it had a rather high in fant mortality rate only a little nine than nine people for every thousand population died, Lafayette had the highest death rate. Twice as many people for every thousand population died there as died in Clinton. During that same period twelve persons out of every thoitsand died in Indiana from preventable diseases. The rural Indiana death rate was one person higher than the urban. The rural birthrate however was 24.5; 2.9 higher than the city rate. More babies under one year of age died in Whiting than died in any other locality in the state the figures showed. The Infant mortality there was 133.5 to every thousand born. East Chicago was a close second with 115.8. Board of health authorities blamed the careless foreign population of these two cities which are in the Calumet region in Lake county for the high rate. New Albany on the other hand, had the lowest infant death rate of 48.9. i ——o_ Champion Needle Worker Is a Man Canon City, Colo., Oct. 13.—(United ress.) Th e champion fancy work artist of Cation City isn’t a gentle, white haired old lady. Part of the description is right, though, but the

reference to sex is all wrong. The leading embroidery needle] wielder is gentle and white haired, but the artist is a “he.” O. Lundberg, who is 78 years old. claims the distinction of. beating woman at her own pastime. His embroidery work and fancy needle accomplishments have taken numerous prizes at fairs and exhibitions in Colorado. Lundberg, a resident of the Odd Fellows’ home, takes keen delight in. and derives a lot of enjoyment from his needle work. Incidentally he has sold much of his wares to women who are unable to execute the intricate designs on linen so successfully as Lundberg. Other inmates of the home profit by Lundberg's art as he has purchased magazines and newspapers for the entertainment of his comrades. Lundberg is self-taught and began embroidering only eight years ago. o Huge Locomotives for Mountain Work Denver, Colo., Oct. 13.—(United Press.)—Ten of the largest passenger , locomotives in the world have recent- ' ly been placed in service by the Denver & Rio Grande Western railway to be used over the Rocky mountain divisions. The locomotives, of the mountain type, were built especially 1 for the Rio Grande and are 95 feet 1 long and weighs 644,600 pounds. Fif- . teen loaded steel passenger caps are handled with ease over the steep mountain grades by one of these monl sters where formerly two and three smaller engines were required. [ The total weight of the engine and ; such a train is 2,644.600 pounds. , I o ■ Do vou like to laugh? ELK’S CARNIVAL.

Keg Had Important Part at Ute Indian Wedding | Montrose, Oct. 12. —<<vThe i matchmaker of if Ute Indian waning I finds it profitable as well as a ptbas--1 pastime, judging from the public marriage of a Ute buck and squaw here recently. This particular ceremony was wit- ■> -sed by a large crowd of curious spectators and an announcer with a 'megaphone told the onlookers the stages of the ceremony. Gaudily dressed Indians first carried in two rugs and placed them on ground. Spectators craned their necks when a small keg was brought n an* placed beside the rugs. Entered then the bride with a group lof friends. From another angle stalked the groom, casting no glance at his future wife or her attendants. The announcer next introduced to the crow, the groom and the groom’s cousin who had made all arrangements for the ceremony. For this service, the cousin was to receive several horses, cattle and other property from the groom. The groom then seated himself on one of the rugs and his blushing, giggling bride seated herself beside him. A bowl of mush was placed before them and medicine man, or preacher, clad in vivid garb, topped off with a silk hat. said the words. After the wedding song by two braves, the mush was eaten by the wedding guests, the newly-weds “diping” first. Male onlookers again stirred in their seats when the groom's cousin at this juncture took a long pull at the keg. _a : S—WANT ADS EARN—s—s—s

Work Against Hog Cholera Extended to Other States The United States department of agriculture this year extended Its cooperative hog-cholera control work to South Dakota, Washington, New Mexico and West Virginia, making a total of 34 states in whi<4i work is being done in co-operation with state authorities. Co-operation among the different agencies is now at its best, and is therefore more effective than ever. The object of the work with the various states is to prevent and control outbreaks of hog cholera, and to prevent the spread of the infection and to reduce losses. During the year, hog cholera has been kept well under control, but special care must be taken in October, November and December, when usually there is an increase in its prevalence. Farmers will save more hogs and prevent disastrous losses if they do not delay reporting immediately to the state veterinarian, the county agricultural agent, the representative of the bureau of animal industry, or local veterinary practitioner any suspicious cases of sickness among their hogs. Anti-hog-cholera serum is not a cure, but a preventive treatment, and should be applied as soon as possible when the disease appears in the herd or in the neighborhood. The preventive treatment is a good insurance against losses frqm hog cholera. o BUCK CHASED CYCLIST WHO INJURED FAWN Saranac Like, N. Y., Oct. 12. — George Hooley riding a bicycle through woods on the outskirts of the village, ran without warning into a family party of deer at a sharp curve. In the deer party were a big buck, two does and two lawns. One of the fawns ran into the bicycle. The boy was not thrown, but the fawn was hurled to one side.
