The Fourth Down By Willie Punt THE FOURTH DOWN Let’s all concentrate on LOGANSPORT this week. They shall not pass. —— Muncie's Bearcats plowed through for a 22-0 win over Coach Gene Thomas' Marion high eleven Saturday. Muncie is undefeated so far this year, in fact, has not been scored on in the five games played. The Bearcats have scored a total of 146 points. They play Portland next Sat-. urday. Van Wert won from Hicksville, 140 Saturday. Coach Buck Howard, of the Yellow Jackets and other Decatur people who saw the game, say that Van Wert has a fast, hard charging team. Here's Van Wert's record so for this season: Van Wert, G; St. Marys 6. Van Wert, 25; Delphos, 0. Van Wert, 40; Paulding, 13. Van Wert, 33; Wapakoneta, 0. Mr. Leadpencil, of Wabash, w'.ints to know what we meant the other day when we said the Yellow Jackets were going over to Logansport next Saturday and pluck eleven nice ripe Loganberries. We mean this, Leady, —eleven Yellow Jackets are going to Logansport and sting all of the sweetness out of those eleven Loganberries. In other words Decatur is going to defeat Logansport. Get us? Os course, that is only our plan and determination. The result remains to be seen. Huntington fell another notch down the conference ladder Saturday, South Side winning from them, 27-14. Huntington is fourth in the standing liOW. According to statistics, Bluffton deserves a little credit for their showing against Muncie. The Bluffton team is the only one this year that has carried the ball within the Muncie 25-yard line. Jack Teeple has decided to abondon his night job at the sugar factory. This will assure him being out at practice this week for the Logansport game. indiaua and Purdue showed a great reversal of form Saturday in their games with Wisconsin and Wabasli respectively. Both teams are composed largely of sophomores ami they are too young at the game in big ten competition to be consistent and reliable. But, just wait until they have a little more experience and training under their new coaches.

Portland high continm-d its winning streak Saturday by defeating Hartford City, 34 to 0. The Portland Munci* game next Saturday should be a thriller. The Portland Our Boys defeated the Dayton Burkatn Excels Sunday, 410. •.—— WILL GIVE PLAY (Continued frontpage One) Big Sister—Mrs. Heber Humbarger. Plum Blossom —Jeanette Beery.

THE CRAB MUST BATTLE FOR HOME HE STEALS The hermit crab is one of the most interesting of the Crustacea, says Nature Magazine of Washington. In this animal the abdomen is safe and it lives in shells, the young crabs inhabiting those of periwinkles, and the larger ones the shells of whelks and sea snails. in the common hermit the right claw is much larger than the left, and besides functioning in capturing prey it serves as a lid to close the mouth of the shell. The next two pairs of feet are used for walking and the hermits travel about on them very rapidly, drawing their "houses” behind them. As the hermit crab grows it is obliged to i find a larger shell, and very often it i tries several, calipering them very carefully with its claws, before it finds one to fit. • If the desired shell is already occupied by a hermit there is likely to be a battle for the possession of the shell is found it is examined critically i inside and out, then the abdomen is withdrawn from the old shell and- darted rapidly into the new one. - The People’s Vnice With The Sunday School Editor Democrat: — "Tlie Strategic Position of PalesI tine" was the subject of study for jmany thousand Sunday school scholars last Sunday. Just how many (took the material view as to the location of Palestine relative to its coin- ' mercial life is not known. This ; would be a perfectly natural way to i treat the lesson as Palestine was on I the roadway from Egypt to Assyria. As the centuries rolled on the tdiosen people found they were so located I that the empires of the world trampled them under foot in a merciless way. Assyria, Babylon, Egypt and Rome in turn ground Palestine under their iron heels. Just why kind Providence placed his people here is as hard to understand as it is to see why he set the cyclone,going or why he swallowed up people by an earthquake or why lie leaves millions of people on parched fields at the mercy of a 'famine. Sa for as Palestine and “Israel in ' the midst of Nations' is concerned

• all would be a thing of the past if it had not been for one thing. "For out of Zion shall go forth the law and the word of Jehoviah from Jerusalem.” And Ho will Judge between the nation:!, and will decide concerning many peoples: And they shall beat . their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruning hooks: Nations shall not lift up swords against nation, neither shall they learn war any more.” The law has gone forth out of Zion and the word of Jehovah has come from Jerusalem but the war question has not been settled and will not be until people learn to absorb something more profound than puppy love stories and neighborhool gossip The unfortunate feature of the whole question is that it is so difficult to write the law, where it should be written. In olden times they used clay brick, clap cylinders, parchment rolls, and papyrus on which the write the law Today our ignorant statesmen are trying to write it in secret chambers of dark diplomacy and in inaccessable statutes and congressioual records that are dries than the Sahara desert. One progressive teacher taught the doctrine that the fundamental principles of all law should be written in the human heart. This doctrine would have destroyed the basis of all business as it was conducted at that time. It would have destroyed war and the tribute necessary to bloody carnage. Because of his boldness and revolutionary ideas they crucified him but the crucifiction did not destroy the law that went out of Zion. It is still in force and can not be amendAl nor oblidged by man. The human race is not teacheable. Instead of beating their swords into plowshares and their spears into prunning hooks they gather the material and mould it into "Big Berthas.” The result is a toll of human life that is more appalling than the clean sweep of any cyclone that ever blew, or more disastrious than any earthquake i that ever shook mother earth Man without God is a brute, a liea- ■ then, a being that has sunk to the lowest depths of depravity. Not only Holy writ, but profane history itself i leaches that the biginning of wisdom : is tlie fear,of God. Read your history, study the law ■ that went forth out of Zion, then just ; a little brains will tell you that there ■ is no such thing as “Splendid Isolation.” i ' There is no politics in this because I tlie leaders of both political parties

How Can The Average Man Get Ahead True Stories Os Wage Earners And Salaried Men And Women Who Have Found The Road to Financial Independence (By Samuel O. Rice, Educational Director investment Bankers Association of America I

Among the trusting Americans who I have put 3 billion dollars into worth- I less securities ami more than $500,000 into German marks since the war is NOT Mrs. Maymie Tenowitz, laundress, a widow, who recently bought a $6,500 home and who has given her 18-year-old daughter, Marguerite, a normal school education. Mrs. Tenowitz moved from a Wisconsin farm to town in 1907. A year later her husband's / death left her with a bady daughter to support. She became a laundress at $1.50 a day. Os the $9 weekly wage $1 went into a savings account in the bank. It was sore temptation not to touch it in times of stress. Neighbors and relatives begged for loans. Others urged Mrs. Tenowitz to buy stocks, which, they said, would yield much more than savings bank interest, and might make her rich. Mrs. Tenowitz knew the savings account was safe. She knew nothing about stocks. She saved almost S4OO in five years. When she had SSOO she put it into a little, four-room house that cost recognize this. There never would have been if P. T. Barnum had not given the snap away. Just think of it! Thirty governors of this great nation of ours, meeting at West Baden, Ind., to devise a plan to lock the door after the horse had been stolen. If they can not recognize the law hat goes forth out of Zion If the door of divine wisdom is closed Tgainst them, if the God of Mantman hat the U. S. has bowed her ear to, will not hear their cry, it may be that if they call up the Witch of Endor, hat she will tell them that “Ceasar has crossed the Rubicon, or perchance he may say that some of the Philistiens have crossed the Atlantic. Regardless of the Witch, you will never get away from the law that went forth of Zion.

$2,500. Witli no rent to pay and with two of the four rooms rented, sho paid off SI,OOO in monthly installments in less than three years. That left a mortgage of SI,OOO, S6O interest and S4O a year taxes to meet. Again Mrs. Tenowitz became a regular visitor to the savings bank. Again she declined opportunities to buy stock or lend money. In less than four years she had another SI,OOO. Last summer she sold her little home for $4,500. She hated to give it up but she felt that it wasn't good enough for Marguerite. She paid $6,500 for a little nicer house on a neater street. The expense of owning the new home In these days of high rents cost Mrs, Tenowitz less than S3O a month for taxes, interest and insurance. "Yes, it has been hard,” said this laundress who has never earned more than $4.16 a day, “but it was worth it. This fall when Marguerite started as a public, teacher at $l5O a month she had a home to which she was proud to bring her friends.” Mr. and Mrs. Homer Moss, of Fort Wayne, visited relatives here yesterday and attended the anniversary at the Presbyterian church.
