Some of the air enthusiasts express many fears because France has 2,500 flight aeroplanes, but they are horrorified when the United States navy essays a flight from San Francisco to Honolulu. Those French planes would have to fly a longer distance to get to the Unit 'd States. —Huntington Herald. The very handsome sum of a quarter million dollars was jtaid out here yesterday for beets and this is but a portion of the money annually expended here for this purpose, be-;>--4rs a large pay roll tor labor. The sugar company is a real institution, a mighty good one for the community and is one we can all well afford to support, in every way we can. A Louisville man is advertising for dogs for which he offers $2 each plus transportation. These may be more truth in the “hot dog’’ term than we imagine. What makes it look more suspicious is that the ad does not specify any particular breeiT, just so it is a dog. but must weigh fifteen pounds or more. — Brownstown Banner. With due ceremonj’, a delicious banquet and a delightful program, afternoon and evening, the new Elk’s home was dedicated yesterday. The crowd was large and the interest excellent and those in charge are to be congratulated. The home is a great addition to the social life in this community and is being enjoyed to the limit by the members of the great benevolent order. Old Elephant Rock is in and hundreds of people have already looked the gigantic rock over. It will be mounted in due time and will be the center of a decorated plat in the court house yard. The rock is to be dedicated to Mrs. I’orter, whose nature works have been read around the world, a fine thing to do and the finer because it was done by the school children of Adams county. — « Well, it begins to look like a federal building for Decatur and we are sure its announcement will be a fine Christmas gift, if we don’t get lost in the shuffle, some where down the line. Mr. Avon Burk, president of the Decatur Industrial Association, has been ih communication with various members of the house and senate and deserves credit for his assistance in the project. The government owns one of the best lots in the city,' opposite the library and court house and' it is splendid that the proposal is for a $125,000 building which will be appropriate to the location and will take care of the government needs here for some time to come- If this copes we will forgive them for leaving us to the last. The Indiana Wheat Growers Association has started separate suits in the Elkhart county circuit court to restrain Jacob S Walters and Henry Mishler farmers residing near Nappanee fsem selling their 1025 wheat

No. 41. Just as we reached the track, 1 saw the train which was right on us. I whirled the car to the west, the direction the train was moving, but a freight car in the way, shut us in with one wheel of the car on the track. The pilot struck my car just back of my seat and crushed the car. My foot was caught In the clutch and 1 thought it was the end of time. 1 was thrown out, my head resting at the end of one of the ties and the car wreckage, or a part of it. nearby was being brushed by the cars as they passed. I was afraid I would be pulled under the train, but fiually, by a frantic effort, I managed to arise and get out of the way. the train stopping after thirty cars had passed. Arnold, who was in the fear seat, was thrown with that part of the car. rolled around like a ball, but did not receive a scratch. My left leg was sprained a( (he ankle and my left arm J lacerated and I know 1 went through something, but am thankful to be 1 alive.” The insurance on Mr. Squire’s car lapsed about a week ago. ’ ° • —Subscribe For The Dally Democrat —
