Pursuant to provisions of the Horse Thief Detective association law, revised in 1907, striking growth of the . -ociation has been noted in the first three months of 1923. Thirty-one lompanies, with a minimum meini*rship of 10, are shown to have been , orporated in various counties of lhe state since Jan. 1. Officers of the various companies, eking advantage of the elastic law, ' ‘ports show, are submitting lists of •heir members of their respective , aunty commisssiouers, who in turn “re authorized to designate persons < idowed with police powers. Commissioners have the power to i'll the lists over to county officers ithorlzing them to appoint any or all pplieants as police officer--. Attempts to make the police’ apointments .required instead of oponai failed nt the last session of the I -Islature. G. F. Lowe, Covington, n I organizer for the National orse Thief Detective association, resent when the bill was introduced, raid its objects were to “force certain minions of the law to prosecute ,'imlnal violations committed by one < their own creed.’’ ’copies’ Restaurant Raided by Mob Friday - At 3:30 o’clock yesterday afteron, scores of children were seen lining across lots, lawns and streets, :1 headed for the same goal.

Five hundred of the bars, made especial!.lor the Peoples Restaurant from ice cream and fruits, were given away ■u fifteen minutes. Five hundred more were given away at 7:30 last 'l'ght, One little fellow who got there "arly left the restaurant, quickly luffed the bar in his mouth and went ' back for another one.

Those who do it best find that it is! well to have the interest and co-op-1 eration of both school board and par- 1 ents before beginning to serve ( lunches. The equipment needed is I inexpensive. A few cooking utensils, | a two burner oil stove and some tow-1 els tire enough. Children usually furnish their own cups, bowls, and spoons. There are many ways of obtaining the necessary food supplies for the warm noon-day dish. Sometimes the food is bought by the school and the cost pro-rated among the children. It is important if only one hot dish is prepared, that milk] be used freely in whatever is served, j whether soup or some other food. Ry means of the hot school lunch, j children may be taught the value of foods in the diet, how to prepare! them and how to select a properly i balanced diet. Children will learn t<» like milk and vegetables if the foods' are well prepared and are popular with other children in the school. The United States Bureau of Education. Department of the Interior. Washington, D. C.. has recently published two pamphlets giving suggestions regarding the school lunch. These may be had upon request. o PLANS COMPLETE FOR PURDUE Everything is in readiness for r the fifteenth annual Purdue egg Show which will be held at Purdue University. April 30 to May 3, and indications are now for upwards of 1,000 entries, oven above the record established last year. Forty cups worth more than SSOO and other prizes, which sends the value of all above SI,OOO, will be offered, a considerable increase over that of last year. There are a total of 12 classes, including experiment stations and universities; Purdue students; Purdue faculty; members of state poultry association; commercial egg class, | open to anyone not a stgdent and es-1 pecially for farmers, commercial egg producers and packers; fanciers’ class especially for poultry fanciers and farmers; miscellaneous class open to anyone not listed; grade school class high school class, and a special class for branch houses of poultry buyers and packers. Judging will be started Tuesday, May 1, and in order to assure that all eggs be received in time to be laid for the judges It is suggested that they reach Lafayette not later than April 28. The following directfcins are given for packing eggs for shipping: The eggs should be packed in regulation shipping box’, market basket or bushel basket. Ordinary shipping cartons with bran as filler placed in these baskets carry eggs very nicely. Every egg should be surrounded by excelsior or some other good packing material. Wrapping eggs in newspapers should be avoided as the egg is marked by the print. A cracked egg is a disqualification. Great care, therefore, should be exercised in packing. Eggs packed as recommended i will stand shipment by express or maid with small risk of damage. An extra egg or two should be sent with each exhibit to cover any breakage in transit. Exhibitors need send no spec ial trays for displaying eggs as these will be provided for the management. —«— o Spanish Ha— . . u.ned. All the region acquired by the United States from Mexico, particularly southern California, keeps alive in its place-names the memory of Its Spanish explorers mid settlers. While 1 there are Indian names on the Pacific ] const, it is a curious fact that these j are few, relatively speaking, in comparison with the rest of ilte country. ; North of the Spanish belt capes and | towns often reflect the loyalty of early . settlers to the older states of the Union. —. Garrulous as Ever. It may be, as that English writer ! says, that women don't talk love as ( much ns they used to. but we ill! know ( that if he reversed the two words Im’d be away off.

With laughter in his eyes. To make the old town bright; But when he saw his neighbors start. He buckled in to do his part And worked from morn ’till night. And now his lawn is like a park Anti he has started right. Little Jack Horner sat in a corner Throwing tin cans around. Out came his mother and said “Not another,” But help to clean tip the town. Mary had a little lot, For which she had no use; The weeds grew up and then did rot, And the neighbors did abuse. And now the children stamper there. A playground it is fine; The womans' club has done its share To make the old town shine. MORAL: (’lean up. paint up, brighten up the corner where you are. o You can get Standard Nut Butter (colored) at -Gilpin’s Grocery, phone 164. — GREEN SPROUT LATE POTATOES NOW SPREAD SEED IN WELL-LIGHTED PLACE Many farmers are finding that their late potato seed is beginning to sprout badly. These long, white tender sprouts sap the vitality and vigor and consequently greatly reduce yields. Many boys are given the task of rubbing off the sprouts, a job which is unpleasant and unprofitable. “Greening” or “green sprounting” will help to remedy this condition, Purdue University horticulturists point out. Potatoes should be kept in a cool, dark place until they show signs of sprouting then bring them up and spread the tubers out not more than two deep in a well-lighted airy place. If they have already sprouts on them these should be rubbed off before spreading them Notice to Farmers I, the undersigned, will stand my stallion at my farm the coining season. I have a good, full-blooded. Pedigreed Belgian stallion, “Bob Wlijtei,” No. 12038. He is a sorrel roan, with light mane and tail. Will be careful to avoid accidents, but will not be , responsible should any or- ) cur. ; Farmers should always l call up before bringing their mares to be bred.

Editor Dally Democrat: — Dear Sir: —In connection with the “Do you remember when column, 1| iiave the following to offer. I can remember when, Steam was superceeded Gasoline sure in King, And a “Tin Lizzie” motor. Is quite the proper thing. We have wireless telegraphy. Both on land and sea.
