The prophet and his followers are ankfiown, but they have been so enthusiastically received that the steady growth of the Importance of tbe event hta kept pace with the great progress of the city. No one knows from whence the prophet comes or whither he disappears.

Student Knew ’Twas No Time to Linger He was a student at the University of Missouri and “loved” military, as do all the studeuts. “1 tell you, doc,’’ he explained at the hospliul, “lay throat hurts sotnethlug awful. 1 don't believe I better go to military for a day or two." "Not drilling outdoors now, art you?" the doctor Inquired “No, air," the studeut admitted. "Well, your throat won’t Interfere with your going to Indoor classes." "Hut you see, doc, I play In the band, tnd—" “Oh, In that case It’s different," the doctor Interrupted. “I don’t want you straining that throat In band practice. Here's an excuse for three days.” Three days later the student again presented himself at the hospital. “Well, how’s the throat now?" the doctor Inquired. "Pretty good, I guess," the student replied. “Think you can go back to band practice now?" the doctor asked. "Guess I might Just as well.” "Say, by the way," the doctor remarked, “I used to play In a band a little myself several years ago. Toot a horn a little yet once In a while. That's the reason I knew how hard li would go on your sore throat What do you play?” “One of the drums,” the student replied, and slid hastily out of the door. —Kansas City Times. Cats Alike Fond of Traveling and Home The glare of limelight that recently beat upon Fluffy, the London Victoria station cat, who boards the 10:45 train to Dover every morning, lunches upon nice creamy milk at the buffet there, and returns to town by the afternoon train, is a reminder of a curious fact about cats; they are at once the greatest travelers and the greatest "home bodies” of ail domesticated animals. Other cats In England, and, Indeed, In most countries, regularly Journey long distances on trains, usually In the restaurant car, but sometimes with the train crew. As for seafaring cats, there must be hundreds of thousands of them, from North cape to the Horn, Southampton water to Nagasaki bay. Most liners carry quite a number; there are White Star vessels with flve-and-twenty aboard. There was an amusing Incident not long ago when one of the Adriatic’s cats, that had failed to turn up when the ship sailed, reappeared for the next voyage with Its tail proudly waving in the breeze and five little kittens trotting along behind.—Manchester Guardian.

Being Allegorical He was a sorry creature to look upon. His clothing was torn, his hair was disheveled, and there was an exhausted look upon his face. It was clear that he was going through, or had Just gone through some terrific struggle. Out of sheer pity I stopped the man and asked him who he was and if there was anything I could do to help him. "I am Office,” he said. “There is nothing you can do." "Office?” I said, a little puzzled. "Oh, yes. You are looking for the man.’ "No, no," he panted. “That would he easy. I am trying to get rid of the man." Still Belief in Witches Belief In witches still exists In England today, stated a lecturer on witchcraft before a London society. She said In one village In Dorset a certain amount of the witches’ organizations stiil remains. When I went down there recently I asked one of the women about It. She said, “Witch Fanny is dead.” I asked, "Who Is witch now?” and she replied without hesitation, "Witch Bessie Is witch flow.” The question of succession was easily and quickly arranged, but I could not find out how or when It was done. Milk Without Cream A cow that possessed "a perfectly adjusted separator” has been reported by a correspondent to the Sydney Bulletin. "She gave R lot of milk and her calves were the fattest and biggest in the herd, but for household purposes her milk was useless," according to the correspondent "The milk could be run through a separator without a drop of cream appearing either In the dish or In the Interior of the machine. By no method of milking could she be enticed to give any cream.” Metric Measures The myriameter, or 10,000 meters, Is equivalent to 6.2137 miles.

Watch Oddly Preserved After being lost for 12 months in a plowed field In England a farmer’s watch has been picked up, and Is going as well as If It had been In his pocket all the time. The man lost It while he was plow big, and searched fruitlessly for It Yet he has now found It lying on the top of a furrow. Since it was lost the field has been plowed twice, harrowed and drilled, and has yielded a crop of potatoes.

WANT STATEUN I AIR MAIL ROUTE, rIndiannpolis Postmaster Takes Steps To Secure Service For Indiana i Indianapolis, July 11 —(UP) —Indiana is to be put on an air mail rout? soon, if the recommendations of Post*! master Robert E. liryson of Indianapolis are caried out. Bryson will confer with Postmaster General Harry S. New and second assistant IT. Irving Qlpvjer, in charge of air mail, here July 20 on possibilities of air mail being brought to the state capital which would then act as a distributing point. Bryson believes this city will be on an air mail route within a year, probably on a newly created one running from New York to Indianapolis and St. Louis, with intermediate stops which might include Richmond and Terre Haute. | “With Col. Cnarles A Lindbergh ' heading activities at St. Louis, I think such a line is likely." Bryson said. Indianapolis also would lie a central point for connecting a north and south route from Chicago to Atlanta, Ga., with the cross country line, Bryson suggested, one ship being needed each J way on both lines daily. j Meanwhile business men of this city are considering plans to make India-1 napolis a great commercial airport with lines radiating to all parts of Indiana and the central west. At a meeting at the chamber of commerce here last week, stockholders of the Indianapolis Airport Corporation, which owns the Mars Hill flying field here drew up plans for constructing a $60,000 civilian hangar, machineshops and lighting system for the night flying . “We want to see commercial aviation developed, and are awaiting the ! report of our committee appointed to study conditions,” declared J. A. Goodman, aircraft corporation president. “Central Airways hopes to establish service to Chicago, Cincinnati, St. louis, Dayton, and any Indiana towus which can make use of our transportation. This service will begin, we hope within the next thirty to sixty days." “Commercial aviation has great possibilities with increased confidence in 1 aeronautics. We cannot picture what I will happen in fifteen years, but we! must be ready to keep Indiana in step with other states," Goodman said. • o — Longfellow’s Smithy Concerning the discussion as to where the smithy was that is mentioned In Longfellow's poem, Ernest Longfellow, in his book “Random Memories,” says. “A short time ago i saw in an English newspaper that the village smithy was in a certain English village that was named; as a matter of fact, as everybody knows, it was on Brattle street, Cambridge, Mass.” j War and Peace Peace is the happy, natural state ol man; war his corruption, his disgrace, —Thomson.

APPLES SHOULD BE SPRAYED NOW Purdue Advises Spraying To Prevent Worms Entering Sides 01' Apples Word from Purdue is to the effect that the second brood of Coding Moth worms will lie entering apples in this section in great numbers about July 25. Accordingly, the county agent Ini' sent word to managers of spraying rings in thie county, appraising them of the necessity of applying the spray to. control this Insect about July 20 to 23. Everyone is familiar with the type of damage done by this insect. Whereas the first brood of Coding Moth enters the apple at the blossom end while it is very small, thereby causing most of the characteristic runty, wormy, apples which usually fall from the tree, the worms of the second brood enter the practically full sized npple on tiie side, leaving the large worm hole often seen. Purdue authorities recommend a sptay containing arsenate of lead at the rate of 114 pounds to each 50 gallons of spray, coating the apples with this mixture, assuring the worms of a good meal of poison when they atKidneys and Back » Made Life Miserable Says He’s Full of Pep Now, and Pains are All Gone. “I suffered with pains in my kidneys and back for three years. My back at times seemed as if it would break in two. I was tired out most of the time, and when I came home from work I just felt like I wanted to lie down. I lost flesh until I only weighed 155 pounds. Nothing I took did me any good till I found Viuna, and after taking only one bottle I was wonderfully relieved. My back stopped aching and I began to get some pep. My appetite picked up and I began to gain weight till I now weigh 170 pounds (a gain of 15 pounds), and feel fine and eat anything.”—Curtis Chappell, 1130 East St. Clair St., Indianapolis, .

The Little Things AWAY back in the year 1757, in his maxims prefixed to Poor Richard’s Almanac, Benjamin Franklin said: “For yant of a nail, the shoe was lost; for want of a shoe, the horse was lost; and for want of a horse, the rider was lost.” So you see the importance of a little thing- like a horse-shoe nail! TF you are disposed to neglect the smaller advertisements in this paper, you are making a mistake. You are missing money-saving opportunities. \ou are missing important information about something that some day you are going to buy. You are throwing away your road-map and following your nose. THE big stores of today were little stores years ago. They used advertising space judiciously and became large. At first, their announcements were smaller than they are today. But those small advertisements told about real values, real savings for their customers. IN other words, the size of an advertisement is no indication of its importance to you. The message is the thing. Some of the most important merchandise news is often printed in tiny type. Even in the largest advertisements you will find small type. Read the small type as well as the big black type. Read the little advertisements as well as the large ones. It pays. \ Advertisements come in all sizes—but the smallest one may carry the biggest news for you. Read them all. Decatur Daily Democrat
