Its worthy talking about any way. ■ i a— m The Indiana Federation of Clubs is hack of a movement to raise $50,000 for the purchase of Limberlost Cabin near Rome City to be turned over as a state park. It is one of the beatuy spots of northern Indiana and with the club ladies back of the campaign there is but little doubt that the funds will be secured.. One citizen has subscribed slu,ooo. There's no use talking, times do. change. The styles.of wemeu have changed to 'bobbed hair and bobbed skirts and low necks; men are weiring skirt trousers and other freak clothing but uow comes one that will cause many to wonder about the why and j wtaerefor The style this fall for boys of from four to teu are long trousers and the big stores in the east j are filled with fads for men and women, boys and girls. Dr. John R. Martin of Rochester, New York ha* figured it out that it requires much more strength lor a baby to croy than to do any thing else and that if the baby cried twenty four hours, it would do an amount of work equivalent to lifting its own weight to the top of Washington monument. You don’t want the baby to work near that hard this hot weather, do you? So Dr. John suggests that you don't let the baby cry if you can prevent it. The drive to raise SSOO in this city | for the Salvation Army is still on, for . the very good reason that so far only j about half of the amount of our quoto has been raised. Rev. Thompson who is in charge says he does not want to insist that the community give more than they feel they can afford and yet he is of course desirous of meeting the! obligation if possible. The report will not be sent in until the latter part of the week and any person desiring to give to this wot thy cause may do so by calling Mr. Thompson. - —■■l |f you haven't purchased your cltau- " tauqua tickets, you should do so at once. You can secure them at any bank in the city, from any of the mem-; bers of the committee or at this office. The program this year is a strong and interesting one and you will enjoy every number. The season tickets cost but three dollars and a number of the entertainments would cost you that if you went some where else to attend. The results of chan- | tauquas are always uplifting, never | debasing and you can support no better I event for your neighbor and yourself. mmammmmmmtmrnmmmmmmmm. These modern bandits and bank j robbers do not go into afiarrs in a half way.

, rapidly and turn just right during a hold up. Concluding eleven years of service for the schools of Adams county, E. S. Christen retired Saturday. His years as county superintendent have been during strenuous times, including tile war period and an era of change in the school system. He has succeeded in establishing five new high schools and has made much progress towards the centralization idea with the purpose of giving the rural children advantages equal to those of the town and city. His record is one i which will last during the years to , come. Clifton Striker, who succeeds j him, is qualified, industrious and ambitious to make the schools of Adams county superior to those of any other community and he will make good. I A good many million people have the Florida bug these days and more seem to be catching it each day. There is no question about the fortunes that have been made there and by the same t token a good many have no doubt j been dropped there. In other words j there are good and bad investments j there just as there are gawd and bad , investment!; ’'hart ■ and (every where else. As in all other investments made by wise people, you should know just i what you are doing, consult your banker. let him help you decide. It is j luite likely you can make a better j investment right here at home, at | least one that is much safer. Don't | throw your money away because some smooth talker or writer tells you how much money Carl Fisher or some one else made there.

COBB Combating the Yellow Peril Every time the government takes a Census this story is revived, which means it enjoys a rejuvenated popularity at intervals of exactly Jen years. When 1 cateli myself laughing at it. I know that another decade has slipped by me unawares. The story has 'to do with the enumerator who called at a humble home in the outskirts of Cincinnati, and there found the head of the family humped up over a large volume. It developed, in the course of the conversation. that the householder some months before had been induced by a I traveling agent to in\est in an encyclopedia. and that to get the worth of his money he had been reading the books of the set pretty constantly ever since. He was now full of facts, statistics and data. In reply to the caller's questions he gavo his mime and age and his wife's name and age. "How many infant children have you?’' asked the census taker. "I've got three," said the citizen. “And that's all there ever will be, too, you take it from me." "\yhat make* you so positive about Ihat?" asked the visitor. "I'll tell you why there wont never he but three," sqid the man. “It's I wrote down in this here book that [ every fourth child born in the world Is Chinese.” I (Copyright b\- the Cutrsl Pr*»s Auoeistloa.V "VO- rMUNCIE —"Bandits,was the report that Policeman Colilins and Davis received. Racing to the locality reported they found a group eg Bey Scouts playing games. ,

Wily Butcher Kneu) What He Was About A good story Is told In Tnmworth. Warwickshire, England, whence came originally the famous Tamworth herd of swine. During the year ISOT* a gen tleman was exhibiting at the door of an inn a trotting mare, when a butcher of the town, stepping up, offered to trot his black pony against her 101 $125. A smile of contempt whs t tie onlv notice he at tlrst received. How<*r, the knight of the cleaver persisting in Ills original offer, the bet was accepted, and the next morning appointed for the match, four miles out of the town. The butcher appeared at tlie starting post mounted on his black pony with his tray In front of him and brandishing a small marrowbone. He was allowed the start. When Immediately afterward, ns his competitor was rapidly pnsslng him, he rattled a flourish upon ills tray, which had the instantaneous effect of frightening the high-mettled mure into a gallop. This was repeatedly the case, and ns often, according to the etiquette of trotting matches, was the too busty mare obliged to stop and turn round. Thus, ultimately, the black pony won lu hollow fashion. Bismarck Not Afraid of His Royal Master Genuine imperial tokay was sold, direct from the royal cellars in \ lenna. after the World war. This wine was never easy to obtain except through the royal H'apsburgs, who occasionally made presents to their friends. The great Bismarck himself found it hard to get a supply. Gen. Sir E. Ilamlcy used to tell the story of how, attending German maneuvers, he sat next to Bismarck at dinner, with “old William" not far away. A good deal to Hawley's discomfort, Bismarck persisted la talking about bis master in a very loud voice, saying, among other things, that he was generous but forgetful. "For instance, I pleased him (Ik* other day, and lie promised me a dozen of that Tokay he has in his cellars, but I haven't had it." “Really." said poor Hmnley, "I'm afraid he'll hear what you're saying." “Afraid?” roared Bismarck, "I want him to lioar me; that's just what I want!” Sign That Worked He was a burglar. Afier effecting an entrance into the bank lie found Ills way. easily enough, to the strong room. When the light of (lie liinh m tell on the doer be saw this sign written in red letters: “Nave your dynamite. This safe Is not locked. Turn the knob and it will open.” For a moment he ruminated. "Anyhow,” lie reflected, “tlnve's no harm in trying It If it really is unlocked.” He grasped the knob and turned it. instantly the office was flooded with light, au alarm bell rang loudly, an electric shock rendered him helpless, while a panel' in the wall opened and out rushed a bulldog which seized him firmly. An hour later, when the cell door closed on him, lie sighed: “I know what's wrong with me. I'm too trusting. I have too, much faith in human nature.” Protect Beautiful Birds Birds of paradise are found in New Guinea, Molucca islands and a fewother neighboring Islands; also in northeastern Australia. Egrets range from the United States south to southern South America; from central Europe south to southern Africa; and from north central Asia south to Australia. Egrets are afforded pro feetion under the treaty between tin* United States and Great' Britain for the protection of birds migrating between the United States and Canada and may not be killed, sold or possessed except for scientific purposes. The importation of both birds of pars dise and egrets for their plumage is prohibited by the tariff act of l'J.'S. What She Really Needed A farmer's wife sat reading a farm Journal and, as she had outgrown, or, rather, outaged her spectacles, she had to hold the paper at arm’s length in order to see the print. “Father,” she said, with a sigh, “I do wish the next time you go in to town you'd buy me a stronger pair of specs.” “Huh," said father, who was a notoriously mean old curmudgeon, "it ain’t stronger specs you need—it’s longer arms.”—Pittsburgh ChronicleTelegraph. Chicago’s Nicknames Chicago has two nicknames. The “windy city" is an illusion to the high winds that prevail there, as well as to the general breeziness of the business and social atmosphere that characterizes it. Its other nickname is "Porkopoiis,” meaning “City of Pork” and refers to the enormous trade in hogs that is carried on in Chicago and the Immense packing and meat establishments that are one of the distinguishing features of the city. Being Too Ctond a Loser When you meet a backset it’s all r,ght not to whlue about it. But tills business of being a good loser cun be ;arried too far. You can get in the habit of losing. You can resign yourself to a loss and ihen the next time something upsets your plans, why, you sort of take it for granted. Finally ’sa get so yoq expect loss. And we usually get what we expect.—Harry A, stqwart ia tits 4*iQt£ican Jlajagiae.
