Women’s Club Charter Found With Whisky Flask Vernon, Ind., Nov. I.—(UP)—This sleepy, old-fashioned village boasts distinction of having founded Amer- | lea's first Women’s Club. j I Although the organization had long been forgotten, a copy of its constitution was found reposing between a quart whisky bottle and a Bible in the corner stone of the old Vernon ' high school when the building was i torn down recently. j The club bore the flowery title of ■ “Clionian Society," and was organizied July 17, 1855, according to its 'yellowed constitution. Its object was I set out as "the moral improvement of I its young lady members and the advancement of their intellectual faculties.” The objects found in the old corner stone were carefully preserved, the authenticity of the Clionian constitu- . tion newly attested, and all were i placed io the cornerstone of the new I Vernon high school which has since been erected on the site of the old “academy.” Finding of the papers defeats the claim of the Minerva Society of New Harmony, Ind., to the title of America’s oldest women’s club. The Minerva was organized in 1859, nine years i before the famous Sorosis Society of , New York, which also ranks among , the first of the present army of woinI en’s social bodies. The Minerva Club, however, was the first body of its kind to be incorporated, and is still functioning. o Tocsin Pastor Resigns It was stated today that Rev. H. G. Jungkuntz, pastor of the Bethel Lutheran church north of Tocsin, resigned as pastor of that church to take effect November 13.

Ten pupils will attend the Tocsin schools and four wfli go to Ossian. f? i Quick Way to Build Up Go to any druggist and get a trial package of Burke’s Cod Liver Oil and Iran in sugar coated tablet form.

PLOT TO WRECK ; AUTO IS FAILURE Berne Couple Escape What I Is Believed To Have Been Holdup Plot Nelson Schug and Miss Beatrice Brewster, of Berne, met with a rather unusual exjierlence on State road No. 27, about three miles south of Berne Tlie coilpie were returning from Portland where they had attended a show, and as they approached the "Price" bridge, they met a car parked on the | highway immediately' before the bridge, with blinding headlights. Mr. | Schug slackened his speed and signaled for the dimmers without result. Sensing something rather unusual a- | bout tke situation. Mr. Schug again stepped on the accelerator and just as he was about to pass the parked auto- | mobile, a large burlap sa<f.< filled with something lay directly in his path. His first thought was to run ov- ' er the sack, but on second thought he straddled it with his wheels. As the axel hit the sack, there was a heavy crash. Investigation of the scene the tollowing morning revealed the fact that the sack ha<V been filled with bricks and crushed stone. The sack had been torn when the axle of the car struck it and the crushed rock and brick-bats were scattered about. As they passed the car. Mr. Schug noted that the parked car . with blinding lights was a touring car 'and that no-one was in it. It is fully 1 believed that the sack had been placed in the road as a part of an attempted hold-up plot, with a view to wrecking a car and then holding up the victims. o MID-WEST FARM LEADERS MEET (CONTINUED F ROM PAGE ONE) of Capper’s Weekly, Topeka, Kas.

That’s because it is now known that over 70% of important work, in offices, stores, etc., falls into the four morning hours —the hours from 8:30 to 12:30. In most American schools, including Princeton, Yalb, most State Universities and some 2,000 grade schools throughout the country, 80% of the important classes are held before luncheon. Thus, largely on expert advice, millions now start days with Quaker Oats — food that “stands by" one through the morning. Excellently balanced in protein, carbohydrates, minerals and the important Vitamine B, this delicious food is ideal for banishing listless mornings. Today get Quick Quaker that cooks in 2Vi to 5 minutes or regular Quaker Oats at grocer's. Quick Quaker •— —
