BULLETIN Indianapolis, Feb. 14—(Special to Daily Democrat) —The bill to permit the teaching of the German language in the high schools was passed by the house of representatives ioday by a vote of 63 to 27. Representative Myers moved to postpone the bill indefinitely but a motion by Representative Perkins to table the motion was passed. Representative Kritch offered an amendment to permit the teaching of any modern foreign language in the high schools but it was defeated. ——• WANT BILL DEFEATED Representatives of the Erie, Penn sylvania and Clover Leaf railroads were here today asking support of the shippers and others to prevent . the passage of house bill No. 50. known as the full crew bill. The bill provides that railroad companies must put on an extra flagman when they have more than five passenger coaches. The law' was repealed two ,years ago and the railroad men are making an effort to again enact it. A favorable report was received from the committee and the bill is now ready for second reading. A number of shippers here sent requests to Mr. Gottschalk that he vote against it | and the Industrial Association at a I called meeting adopted a resolution asking the representative to vote against the proposed law. The rail way representatives contend that the law costs more than a million dollars a year in the state and without any benefits to the public. ■ 9 1 ■ ■ FARMERS EXPOSITION Under the auspices of the Indiana .

That's our hunch, too. r I Out of Bounds has unearthed a story * printed in 1911 when Bluffton went to * 1 the first state tournament and played 1 t in the semifinals, In an effort to get a ' 1 little ’’kick” out of Bluffton's athletics. 1 ’ Bluffton got an awful kick in that semi- 1 t final game, though, when Crawfords- ' ville licked ’em 42 to 16. Crawfords- 1 ville won the championship by beating U-banon in the final, 24—17. I We know a lot of forwards who miss ? more baskets than a dog has fleas, but j. Seymourhigh school has a forward J whose name is Missmore. Missmore is captain of the Seymour team. also. ~ Evidently this young eager does not follow the dictations of his name be- . cause Seymour recently won the I t hampionship of Jackson county. • s Tucker, substitute forward on the D. 1 11.

S. quintet i this week has been interfered with I considerably. Robby Myers, who was '■ in the senior class play, attended res hearsals each evening and was unable f to practice.

(thought three games would be too t many for one evening in the same gymt nasium.

America’s premier in the world of letters, ere- • j ated a play so suitable for the popu- • lar. talented and ingenous star, Miss Elsa Ryan. The result. “The Inti- , mate Strangers” which is to be seen I at the Majestic Theater, Fort Wayne, !on Wednesday night. February 14, i promises to be one of the really notI able and most enjoyable events of the present theatrical season. The additional fact that the charming I comedy is under the direction of Augustus Pitou, assures the high qtlalty and standard of the production. "The Intimate Strangers" is one of the most agreeable fabrications of | Booth Tarkington, than whom there is no more skillful delineator of American character. There is some thing weird in his psychologic insight into the minds and hearts of the characters he depicts and always it takes acting of an unusually high quality, faithfully to portray the figures that have sprung from the Tarkington mind. o —— ADVERTISED LETTERS Mr. George Henline, Wm.
