He was the oldest child of u family of eleven children. His father, mother, three brothers and one sister having preceded him in death. He received a common school education in the public schools of his township, and on account of long and continued sickness of the father, Charles at the age of twenty, was called upon to assume the responsibility of a father in the care of the farm and home until the death of his father when a greater responsibility was thrust upon him. But, true to his task, he was always loyal and found laboring for the welfare and good of the home. It may be said, he was devoted to his home and manifested a great interest in his aged mother to make her life pleasant in old age. He stood firm for the purity of the home, always opposing evil in its various forms, but ever ready to uphold the ! right. At 18 years of age he was converted and gave his heart to Jesus ir» the old Ford school house under the I pastorate of the Rev. L. T. Johnson and united in church fellowship with the United Brtehren in Christ, and remained a faithful Christian ’till death. His heart was interwoven with Apple Grove church, always manifesting a desire to sec the church prosper and the community saved. ( Only a short time before death cartie ! he said. "There is not a blot between me and Jesus.” He leaves to mourn their loss, two brothers and four sisters, Jonas 11., Kranklin S., Miss Elizabeth Arm ' strong, Mrs. Naomi Ford. Mrs. Emm i ! Thornhili and Mrs. Alverta McCollum: eight nieces, twelve nephews and many other relatives and friends. Truly it may be said, “He has fought a good fight, he has kept th" faith, henceforth there is laid up for him a. crown of righteousness which the Lord, the rfghtious Judge, shall give him on that day.” CHILD HEALTH ACTIVITIES i Popular Interest In Health Os Children in State Beyond Available Funds - Indianapolis, Jan. 3. —The popular interest in dUlld health in Indiana has been growing far beyond the compass of available funds. Dr. Ada Schweiter, said today in her annual report for 1922. Dr. Schweitzer is director of the division of infant and child hygiene of the state board of health, she has a staff of about 20 women. The chief work of the division, according to Dr. Schweitzer, is in county child health conferences. These conferences tfsually conducted at county seats by nurses of the division who make examinations of children, give advice to mothers, and give lectures on health. The divfson also does similar work at fairs and “better baby" contests. During 1922 they visited 82 counties and examined 9301 children. They also lectured to 72,299 people. The division is also a spreader of health propaganda. It his some thirty five different pamphlets which it distributes to all who are interested in keeping themselves and fhelr children healthy. These pamphlets are written so that they are interesting and understandable to all ages and mental ities. To the children they give out a well illustrated book of health fairy tales with things detrimental to health portrayed as witches and demons and good things as fairies. A book of health nersery rhyme is also among the list. The division distributed 90,761 of the pamphlets. The work this year lias been nearly doubled since the addition of an extra physician, Dr. Schweitzer said but she will ask the state legislature for more. She will also ask the legislature for the approval of Governor McCray’s acceptance of the SheppardTowner act which was passed by Confess a year ago last November and whiph finances the division's work more than half.

CROP PRODUCTION COST Subject To Be Discussed At Annual Farmers' Short Course At Purdue, January 11 Wat docs it cost to grow an acre of wheat or oats? How does sowing wheat in standing corn effect tlic cost and profitableness compared with sowing on plowed ground? How does broadcasting oats affect the yield and cost in comparison with drilling? These an many similar practical questions, which are constantly confronting Indiana farmers, will be discussed by M. H. Overton of the farm management department of Purdue University when he discusses the subject “What Is Most Profitable and How Much?” at the Farmers’ Short Course at Purdue at 8:30 Thursday morning, January 11. An understanding of the relative importance of different costs and of the relative profitableness and labor requirements of different crops and kinds of livestock is fundamental in determining a system of farming which will give the highest net returns over a period of years. Results from cost accounts will be used in considering k this important subject.. i New York —Princess Xenia, daugh-ter-in-law of the former Mrs. William B.

2 PROSECUTORS APPEAR ( Burns And Simmons Both Show Up For Job In Court At Hartford City Bluffton, Jan. 3.—When circuit court opened at Hartford City yesterday morning there appeared two claimants for the office of prosecuting attorney. Victor Simmons presented his commission from Governor McCray and liis approved bond. W. A. Burns presented bond and a certified transcript of the cominisstoners’ court proceedings here, in a contest suit, holding him elected by 35. Judge Gordon did not formally or judicially recognize either claimant today, as there was no call for a prosecutor''’ '•''rvlces today. Burns did not as that the criminal docket should be called, and Simmons said he wanted time to look the doc- ’ ket over before asking for it to be called. I The judge was quoted by a Hartford i City paper as saying that Simmons' i papers were prima facie evidence of ' his election, while a finding from which an appeal might be taken as in ; Burns’ case, was not prima facie evidence of his election. This might be construed to indicate the probable ac- - tion when the question of recognition i is finally presented. I While Simmons has not been for- [ nially recognized, his deputy here, ■ G. R. Louden, today filed an affidavit I and got a conviction, in a case in justice's court.

Isn’t This Your Problem? “I intend to save money every month but somehow it just melts away and at the end of the month there’s nothing left to save.” Why not reverse things and take out a fixed sum on pay day and put it to work in an interest bearing account at this bank? Live on the rest of your salary and you’ll experience the self respect and pleasure of getting ahead. In other words, PAY YOURSELF FIRST. It makes a world of difference in one’s prosperity account.
