This is arbor day, set apart for that purpose and its so easy that every home owner should do it. If we all did as requested it would mean several millien trees in the United States within a very few years. Three hold ups in two weeks i» going some for a community the size of this and it begins to look as though some real organization would have to be nude to surprise one of these parties. In the meantime about the only advice we know of that's worth a tinker's darn is to put your money in the bank and keep your eyes open. Officer Melchi lias the right system in dealing with hoboes and bandits, feed them a bullet and then lek them explain. Its the only safe way to play the game it seems. Men running over the’ country with loaded guns are not to be fooled with except by an officer who knows his stuff and uses it. Keep right on cleaning tip. The yard needs attention, perhaps a* coat, of paint will help the appearance "of the house or garage or store front. Os course the inside of the house anil the business place needs the annual goitig over and while it means a lew days of inconvenience and hard work, its worth it. There is one way you can feel a little safer about the loss of your money o r property at the hands of the bandits and that is to carry in suraiicc. Its very cheap and not a bad idea at all. Talk it over with your agent or call him and tell him to lix you up. You know it could be • yon just as well as the other fellow who is the next victim. I lew about the vacant lots? Don't let them just grow up in weeds if you can help it. Nothing makes a , community look worse than a lot of ; property that is not taken care of. ; Perhaps some one will put your vacant lot in garden if given the chance and will keep it cleaned up as the rent. That's better than not taking care of it. There e one thing that can be done Io Io Ip break up the hold up epidemil now prevalent hero and that is for tlic officers to rid the town of vagtapis as t ipidly as they show up. Tumps, suspicious looking strangers. : ion who act queerly and those who ban-- around camps near here at night shonjd Im dealt with in such a manner that they would shun this city. Tell them to move on rapidly and if they don’t do it, pul them in jail. Jim Jackson, brother of the gov ' who was given a place as mau-| ager of the School for Feeble Minded at Fort Wayne and who promisedeconomy, has it is shown by the lute record:;, purchased a X'adilae < ir at i cost of s2,7t>i) at the stale's < vpor.ee.

Mr. Williamson is already in touch with the fair management at Van Wert, Kendallville and the state fair to secure racing features, entries and the big show here will be a fair worth while. That's the way to do it for a thing worth doing is worth doing well and that's the managers slogan He will do bis part and wo believe the people of this city and county will do theirs. We don't believe the lead pencil and chewing gum grafters who sit around on the streets and beg money should be tolerated either. There are means of taking care 91 the poor and we are taxed to do it. Why should we be botberei/ with these fellows who either are smooth enough to, gather up a comfortable days wages without effort or who may be spotters for bandits, burglars or holdup men?
