It seems that alt ■ths* thugs driving Fortis and Packards. a great number of whom reside about Decatur. Indana. have been inciting this city their stamping ground. The wicked city of Bluff to» has contributed to this criminal array by thugs in Studebakers and Buicks, who have had the audacity to flaunt the name of their corrupt city tn the form of penants and plates on their cars. A notorious character from Union City driving a Dodge, with a scandalous picture of a girl, scantily clad in a red bathing suit on his windshield drove through the city one day last week. “Tuesday evening about S:3O p.m., wlien everything was unusually quiet and all good citizens were in bed except the police and the clerk at, Payne s old stand, a notorious auto maniac living at Decatur, whose identity is well known to the Winchester police, both of them, drove right l 'P tne main street of the city north front the cemetery, and a sign to stop had been painted'on the street ■about a month ago, this desperado drove past the soldiers’ monument at terrifle speed of ten miles per hour and with apparent disregard for till law, after he had passed the sign, increased his speed to twenty miles an Jtottr, driving out of town northward. I' l traffic squad took up pursuit at once but when they reached the cornroy road at the end of' the brick Pavement, he was compelled to give !l "' chase, as the squad could not '*P hi s motorcycle on the it>ad. He 1 11 returned to the city and tried o notify the police at Deerfield, but telephone girl had gone home for night and the culprit escaped. . ~° aut hofities, to cope with the nation, are contemplating the put's on another squad, if they can nn i ' . man Witl * a motor cycle.

The Lorain Oven Method of Canning is a Cold Pi'k JToc ss but it is so great an improv. ini at ever oilier methods that there is no tomparison. With the Lorain Oven Method no heavy wishboilers filled with boiling water are :-qnired. There is no ; landing over a hot stove stirring and straining. There is practici iiy no lifting and pourjr.-.- The raw fiui's mil vegetables are prepared in the usual manner. Then they’re parted in the gla s jars in which they are to be preserved. i The jars are then pl iced on tile over -rack for the proper time tnd at the proper temperature, which varies somewhat according to the art <lc being <tinned. When the specific time is up, the jars are removed and the lids tightened—and that’s all there is to it. With the Lorain Oven Canning Method fruits and vegetables are not boiled into a mush, but remain almost as firm us when packed. In fact, tomatoes canned in this manner stay |. film enough to be used lor winter salads, and the co or and flavor remain practically identical with the fiesh-froni the garden va- . riety.
