Have you ordered your summer supply of coal? Depending on what was left from the winter run, doesn’t seem to work any more. The weather of yesterday and today is just a little hard on the violets, tulips and dandelions, and won’t do the fruit or garden truck any particular good. While Watson and New are writing notes and letters Larry Lyons seems to have adopted a “watchful waiting’’ policy. "Ain't it a grand and glorious feeling?” Those old timers who have been telling us about the big snow storm on May 21st, 1883 haven’t much on us now. We haven’t had much but snow this spring and today's is a regular “Merry Christmas” deluge. The spring taxes are out of the way and now all you have to do is wateh them spend money foolishly on the state roads and at Pendleton and begin a long, still hunt to get enough together to meet tlie fall installment. “Ain’t we got fun?” I ' Do you remember way back when by this time of year you had been going barefooted a month and had the “cow-itch” and thought summer was about half over and fishing fever was giving away to thoughts of where you could get a job? Owing to the inclemency of the weather the outside work on the paint up and clean up campaign has been postponed for a day or two, but tliis gives the painters an opportunity to get a lot of interior work' uot of the way and get ready to make things hum in a few days when the clouds break and the sun comes out l-ighter and bluer than ever. Mr. Peabody of Columbia City is an unusual man. From his winter quarters at Daytdnia. Fla., he calmly sends his cheek for 1273,000 and say: he is back of the bank to his last shilling and will be home in June. Most of us would have rushed back and had nervous prostration and looked worried and figured how we could have saved a dime or two from the wreck. Yep he’s an unusual follow’ and deserves credit for his magnanimous and modest action. We present today a two page story of Berne and her business concerns, written by Mr. Allegar. Berne is a thriving, progressive, nfodern city, made up of excellent people whoso greatest asset is their ability to pull together. You will find no better town in the country, wonderful homos, public spirited people, a Godfearing, industitious. thrifty i folk, who have built well. Read the story and help them boost this very important part of Adams county, than which there is no better. jt-Utat ■ w.m You fellows who think you are old at fifty or sixty can surely profit by a thought of two about Edward Payson Weston who though past eightyfour annminrew that he will during the summer, walk from Troy, New

York to Chicago, jyst to show he can still do it. Ho says ho will take it easy, only walking about tweuty-ilve miles a day. Can you fellows of forty do itt Fifteen or twenty years . ago Weston was the acknowledged * champion walker of the world and , traveled over many countries afoot.

i branch. t church in the United States Is known | Another branch of the Presbyterian as the United Presbyterian church of 1 North America but the difference in 1 creed that caused this group to leave I the larger brandy have long ceased I to be of importance, church leaders The branch of the church that say. meets in Indianapolis is tike largest in the United States. The general assembly is organised very much like i the state general assembly. Each Presbytery of the denomination, no matter how small effects as representatives to assembly one minister and one layman. Where a Presbytery has more than 34 and less than 36 congregations it is entitled to send four delegates to the assembly. Probably the most important of the denominational matters to be considered at tj»o assembly this year will be the consolidation of the executivework of the assembly- The work is now performed between assemby periods by thirteen missionary, educational and benevolent boards and various permanent and special committees, and it is proposed to consolidate these into four boards. The possibility of a hearing of the historic heresy trial of Dr. Harry Emerson, Dosdick, a Baptist minister, who is preaching in the pulpit of the First Presbyterian church, New York, adds interest to the com ng meeting. Several months ago. Rev. Clarence E. Macartney, a mem>er of the Philadelphia Presbytery, nade a complaint and the Presbyery passed a resolution asking the general essembly to take such action >s will require the preaching and the ■caching in the First church New York, “to tonform to the system of lie doctrine in the Westminster conession of faith” The principal charge made against Jr. Fosdick by the Philadelphia min iter is that Dr. Foedick does not retard the doctrine of the virgin birth -s essential to faitli in the divinity nd unique • leadership of Jesus. Jther theological issues are alsc aised. such as the doctrine of the toneinent, the authority of the Bible nd the second coming of Christ. Leaders of the church have intima ad, however, that there will be nc. earing of the trial of Dr. Fosdick Che latter, it is stated. will not even ttend the assembly. Being a mem >er of the Baptist church, preaching s a supply minister in a Presbyterin church, he is only responsible lo he /session. or the officers of the ongregation to which he preache t is pointed out. Tnc resolution of he Philadelphia Presbytery will lave to be acted on. however, and he matter will be referred to pernanent judicial commission of tin tssembly. Church leaders have inimuated that probably the only acion taken will he the issuance of a tentle caution to congressional scions to be judicious iu the selection -f ministers. _» — ■ —- - - > SPORT NEWS • YESTERDAY’S RESULTS < >*4-4* + 4- + *«* + 4- + National League (’’•!■ -inns*.’ ” .

o Bc&utiful Terre Haute Girl Praises Taulac for Recovery 0 — — r v' I* “I have gotten such splendid results from Tanlac myself I often go out of my way to recommend it to others,”' recently declared Missi Franc es Mae Gosnell, beautiful and, popular young lady of Terre Haute,! Ind. residing at 1340 N. 12th St. "I was ! n a badly undown condition suffering from indigestion, externe nervousness and uo appetite. I was losing weight, had awful headaches, ami my sleep was always restless. I just felt weak and sick ail the time, and was continualy growing worse. "Soon after I started taking Tanlai- I began to eat with relish and than I know 1 was on the right road to recovery. Sure' enough, the treatment has ended my troubles and inceased my weight, and I never I<C better than I do now. I’m just as grateful as can be to Tanlac.” Tanlac is for sale by all good druggists.

May 9 —A ‘few young c men of tlii c town in their thirst for something stronger than water tried a new drink lasi night when they attempted to become drunk on sweet spirits or nitre. The lads had bought large quantities of thfa drug and had indulged too freely in these drinks. Two of the boy.si b’s asie very ill and had to bo taken home by their friends, who had practiced more temperance in their drinking. The boys had become so’sic-k that a physician and tlie town marshal were both called to assist in the case. ’Now, a Quick Quaker Oats Coolit in 3 to S minute* The quickeet cookin* onte in the world Now your grocer has Quaker Oats in two styles. One the kind you have always known—the other is Quick Quaker. Quick Quaker cooks in from 3 <• 5 minutes. And it cooks to perfection. So it is almost like a readycooked dish. No other oat flakes on the market cook anywhere near so quickly. The two styles are identical in quality and flavor. Both arc flaked ftom the finest grains only—just the rich, plump, flavory oats. A bushel of choice oats yields but- ten pounds of these delicious flakes. But in Quick Quaker the oats are cut before flaking. They are rolled very thin and partly cooked. So the flakes are smaller and thinner—that is all. And those small, thin flake* cook quickly. Ask for Quick Quaker if you want this styje. Your grocer has both. But always get Quaker Oats for their delightful flavor.
