THE LONELY MAN— He is a lonely man on a fast train. Maybe he and his tiromull do not exchange words on a run of 50 miles. On some engines he does not see the fireman when lie is in lup seat. During the night, when passengers are sleeping and when only head and tail lights are burning, when lights in villages ami towns are low. when the countryside is silent, no one is farther away from touch with his fellow human beings than the engineer in his cab. Constantly he is plunging into space as one goes into another world. Every mile of track ahead of him is an adventure. How much better for his own peace of mind on these nights and long days would it be if the automobiles, the carriage and wagon drivers and the pedestrians would keep away from the crossing when the fast train in charge of tile anxious engineer, ap proaches. We know of no class of men who have greater responsibility day in and day out than the locomotive en gineer. It is up to all of us, then, insofar as we are able, to keep his burden light and we can do this by stopping, looking and listening — From the Memphis (Tenn.) Commercial Appeal. Two of the most important roads leading to this city, the River road and the Huntington Highway are in very bad condition, due to -the heavy traffic this year and they need im mediate attention if they are to be it proper shape for fall and winter W< don't know just what ought to b< done and whether it will take a spec ial appropriation or not but we d< know that whatever is necessary should be looked af’ef at once sot poor roads these days cause a lot o! complaining which are not good for ind pecially so when they are the main highways. Lets do it boys, lets have our roads the best, its the finest way we know to convince the world we are the greatest com munity. Poor old Babe Ruth is in ‘‘dutch’ again. He has been indefinitely suspended and lined $5,090. That’s a long time and a lot of money. Tluere are rumors of broken training, unbecom ing conduct, family difficulties and a lot of other things. Perhaps the truth is that Huggins is sick of the big contract which still has several year., to run at $52,000 per year and has taken this means to get rid of the famous swatter. Don't forget tile Babe a year ago was the greatest player in the big leagues, made his club thousands of dollars and entertained millions of fans and if Bucky Harris gets him. he may come back. The biggest purpose back of the Porter memorial project is to interest the boys and girls in the study of nature. It would be a fine thing and one we are sure would meet approval oi? Mrs. Porter, were she alive, if two or three thousand young people could be taught the names and the ways of birds, would know the trees and plants so they could call them by name and thats a part o' the program for the association recently organized in this county. That alone will be a wonderful memorial Chautauqua is going on in the tent just south Os the court house and east

Only by thorough search of the endless list of names can those hunted be found. The assessment rolls show the name, the address and the amount of axes payable by each individual. The list was made in triplicate, one copy being sent to Washington, one being jept in the office of clerks of the internal revenue department here for work and the third was thrown open to the public today. The books do not show whether the taxes have been paid and there is no indication by the amount piyable as to the individual’s income, according to M. Bert Thurman, collector of internal revenue. eThurman pointed out that many large incomes suffer losses which cut down the amount paid and parts of other incomes are derived from nontaxable property. Thurman announced the books will be open to inspection from 8:30 a. m. until 4:30 p. m. every day except Sunday for thirty days Dubious wives who want to know just what their husbands are making will have to wait until the newspapers print the figures or start looking through the one hundred and eighty thousand names until that of hubby is found. Newspaper men found themselves swamped in their efforts to check up on the names wanted. They took consolation in the hope publicity clause of the income tax law will be repealed before another year rolls aronnd. * Some newspapers in the state will make no effort to print the figures.

'OCT. 4-11 IS FIRE PREVENTION WEEK State Fire Marshal Calls For Proper Observance Os Occasion 1 n<l ia na pol is, Sept. I.—‘'The week of October 4 to 11, him been Gesignat’ed us Fire Prevention Week, and it is my sincere hope that the gooil people of rndiaiiu will make their arrangements to see that the week is properly observed in every community in the state," said Newman T Miller, state fire marshal, today "The fire hazard Is universa ly dfeaded," said Mr. Miller, "and it is feared alike in the silent forest, the city, the country, the home, the shop and factory, aud if vigilance relaxes ruin and destruction are the inevitable penalties." “The losses in America have reached alarming proportions. Lives have been sacrificed and billions of dollars in wealth destroyed. We destroy more buildings by fire in America than any other nation. Each Seven minutes of each day a farm home is destroyed, aud each hour the homes of fifteen famillies.” "Each day of the year 1.500 fires take place in the United States, and in this number includes one hospital, five churches and injury to forty-sev-en others." "Painstaking investigations show that about SO per cent of these (ires are preventable, and it is tor this reason that October 4 to 11 is set aside this year in order that the people of Indiana may come to the realization that results as a Jribute to our negligence and ignorance of the essentials of fire prevention. Conditions are such as threaten the national well being and challenge the ingenuity of the American people to hasten an effective and enduring remedy."

Fire prevention week starts this year on Sunday, and the good churches of our state are asked to start the program this year with an apropriate sermon and other services. Every school and fire department in are especially asked to see that the spirit of education is inculcated in their children. In larger cities, the program will be in charge of the fire chief and his prevention committee, and in the smaller towns and communities it is urged that chambers of commerce and commerciai clubs, civic societies and other organizations co-operate with their fire chief in arranging a si‘,’table program for fire prevention clubsThe state fire marshal's office will be glad to co-operate by sending literature and other information to any one interested, and will furnish a representative for a fire prevention tai kif desired. A tentative profram is being arranged for fire prevention week that will be adaptable to any community, which will be sent upon request, together with other information, by addressing the state fire marshal, room 311 State House, Indianapolis. o Miss Castle’s Pupils To Give Recital At Wren Piano pupils of Miss Ruth Castle, of this city, who is an instructor in the European School of Music, Fort Wayne, will hold a recital at Wren.
