Montpelier and Fort Wayne as is declared, he's a bigger fool than we figured him but bandits and murderers are the surest ■kind of fools or they wouldn’t thus throw away all chances of happiness in this world, and so it wouldn't surprise us much if they picked him up near the scene of his last murderous stand at Muncie. An organization is being formed in Adams county to establish a fund with which to perpetuate the memory of Gene Stratton Porter and the Limber lost where she found so much mater ial from which her books were written Mrs. Porter was the most famous citizen of this county. Her writings are being read around the world, her stories found popular favor and her facts about birds, insects and animals will be used as texts for many decades. The school children should know about her and this generation should plan to keep aliv e the memory of : her wonderful work, it’s "a fine idea and from it should come a great cam paign of nature study. Five members of the Florida Land Company which advertised extensive ly through this part of the country the past few months, hive been named in federal warrants which charge them with using the mails to defraud. They used a plan which is common, telling of the wonderful opportunities in Florida and the fortunes which have been made there and offering hnd for sale. The trouble is they had no land and those who purchased, and i; is claimed they did a million and a half dollar business, are just out as much cash us they put in. There is much of this going on and you should investigate before you invest. You take enough chances when you speculate on a real value, don't buy a lot in the bay or one that isn’t on the map. Consider the predicament of the woolen-textile industry. The Commerce Monthly for August deVotes, a long article to the description of its woe. World production of wool has failed to keep step with the increase in world population and wool-manufac-turing equipment This has resulted in such high raw wool prices that it is impossible to market anything like the full output of the wool-textile mills. In other words, prices are too high and consumer resistance has set in. This condition ought to correct itself. High prices ought to increase production: a buyer's strike ought to operate toward price reduction, but somehow they do not. The condition seems to have periistcd for fully five years. On the other hand, under modern granging conditions, if the price of raw wool were to drop materially, sheep raising would all but die out. There’s the dilemma: prices up, no buyers for textiles; prices down, no raw material. But that dilemma involves another. EitMer the highest wool tariff in American history is responsible for the high price of wool. In that case, it is also responsible for the serious embarrassm|ent| of trte wool-textile industry. Or, Mt the Commerce Monthly intimates, through the device of simply .ignoring the tariff as a factor, it has had no such effect. In that cage, the highest wool tariff

Those who are attending the twelfth 'annual convention of the Indian'!. Real Estate Association at Anderson are optimistic. They are in a l>ctter Ipotdtion than most persons to judge the stability of Indiana real property, both urban and rural. They have come through a period of agitation for lower valuations for purposes of taxation, but they realize that this is nothing unusual. Man wants public improvements of all kimls*but dislikes to pay for them. The easiest way to escape a percentage of the payment is by having low property assessments. Fann property has gone through an era of depression, but crops are in good condition. Whenever farming is profitable farm land in ■reases in worth and purchasers appear. There has been little fluctuation in urban property during the last ear, but there has .been steady increase in construction. Real Estate men know that Indiana, during the fast year, has had no boom and sot that Jhey may well be thankful. When state or a conununity experiences artificial increases in valuation there nust be a corresponding reaction when the boom ends. After the period ot ,’eflation conies a time when common tense rules and values become fixed Indiana real estate is attractive be cause of its stability and the assur mce that no matter what happens here is likely to be little shrinkage 11 its value The value shows a normal higher trend year after year and when tuch conditions are found the market s healthy. Real property in Indiana chosen with common sense is a sound nvestment. —lndianapolis News.

The man on whom we all depend. sing the man who toils by day. Th,' man without rare gifts to boast; "he man who plods along life's way A foe to few, a friend to most; The ordinary man who asks \’o more than strength to meet his tasks. His hopes and dreams are yours and mine. His doubts and fears are all our own. His eyes at simple beauties shine,

Slayer Lightly Dealt With in Old Iceland Divorce by arrangement Is not so new an invention ax one might suppose "The Laxdacla Suga." the 1.000-year-old epic of Iceland which '1 horstcln Veblen line translated, shed* light not only on the quaint institution of the "divorce shirt,'• but on many other customs of the time which seetu strangely modern, the Kansas City Star say*. Legal hair splitting, for example, was common even then. Witness the technical distinction betweee manslaughter and murder. In the former case the slayer had only to cover the body and notify the next of kin and he went free, or at least with no heavier penalty than the payment of the wer geld, the price of ills man. Rut for murder the penalty was immediate exile and the criminal was declared a lawful victim fnr any one who found him In the country, a handy way of dispensing with the executioner. Politic*, dress, marriage customs, real estate deals and the Introduction of Christianity, all figure In the authentic background of this romantic narrative. Its heroine Is Gudrun. Iceland’s most noted woman, whom three successive husbands failed t'o divert from her love for KJartan, the poetadventurer. Hard Luck for Late Corner! at Banquet! "The sugar lies on the bottom," la an old German saying, which Is untrue In America, at least In that part of America as represented by some hotels. While waiting for a banquet to end. a renorter sat in the path of the waiters scurrying to and fro between the kitchen and the dining room. Toward the end of the meal the head waiter-unexpectedly bore down upon a new underling and all but seized him by the back of the collar. The astonished man. In his surprise, nearly spilt the dishes he was carrying. . “Why, what's the matter?” he gasped, ns he saw the gleam in the head waiter’s eye. The other fairly stuttered with rage. "You gave the best service In the kitchen to the man just came In. Don't yon know that the late comers at a banquet always get the worst food?”—New York Evening World.

Shoe Carries a Load Statisticians and investigators have combined to determine the strain and wear on shoes used by a man during the day, and their investigations brought out the fact that a man of 150 pounds, in ordinary activities, puts a weight each day on Ills shoes amounting to 815,000 tons. The shoes must withstand that terrible pounding and strain and give service for many montlm to l>e Satisfactory. The man of 200 pounds would put on his footwear a strain and load one-third greater than the figures given, but the man of 250 and over would not increase the load proportionately to the increase in weight, because it is a dead pull, and less pounding, the heavyweight being less active than the lightweight men. —Ohio State Journal. Wonderful Star I Equaling the radiation of 600.000 stars as bright as the sun, the S. Dora dus, believed to be the most In- ( minous star known, loses two and a half trillion tons of its mass a second, by its action of producing light, according to Prof. Harlow Sharpley of the Harvard college observatory. The diameter of this giant of the skies is much greater than that of the earth's orbit, which is about 1W.000.000 miles In length. The huge luminous body Is classed with the stars known as variable, owing to their changing periods of maximum brilliancy. The report states It has been growing brighter for the past 29 years. Falsehood in Flattery In order that all men may be taught to speak the truth, It is necessary that all likewise should learn to hear it; for no species of falsehood is more frequent than flattery, to which the coward is betrayed by fear, the dependent by interest, and the friend by tenderness. Those who are neither servile nor timorous are yet desirous to bestow pleasure; and while unjust demands of praise continue to be made, there will always be some whom hope, fear, or kindness will dispose to pay them. —Samuel Johnson. To Clean Flower Vases Flower vases that have become stained r from constant use may be cleaned just as water bottles are. Put potato parings Into the vase with water enough to cover the stains and leave them overnight. A cleaning pad may be made by cutting a groove around a long stick near one end and tying a bit of cloth sectfrely to it. The cloth sliould .be doubled up so that it makes a round ball-like covering for the end. With this ail sorts of ugly stains may be reached that would otherwise be inaccessible. "The Great Open Spaces" Realism predominates tn our literature ; but the western story Is still In the hands of the romanticists. The writers still sing of the great open spaces where a man's a man without mentioning the unutterable loneliness of these places and the crudeness of the men therein! Realists, awake! There never will be any better places to kick j in the seat of the pants the great god, Romance, than these same open spaces. ' —Laura Plufob, In Scribner's i Magazine.
