Moreover there were several of the same nam< among those with whom Lincoln hat to do. , j u There were two Crawfords who are important in the Lincoln history and the incidents belonging to one an frequently ascribed to another. Then are several Breckenridges whose activities relate thesmelves to Lincolns. Even the name of his sister is variously recorded and consequently disputed. One factor which has contributed to the uncertainty of many episodes related to Lincoln is that they were not inquired into until thirty or thirtyfre years after taking place. Anyone's memory of events that far back in history are apt to be uncertain. One of the by-products of the present campaign to erect a memorial to the Lincolns in Spencer county will he the accumulation of data and incedotes and at the same time eliminate much of the confusion which now exists even is well informed garters. Indiana is well supplied with historical societies, many of which have Jor their chief purpose the preservation of authentic Lincoln data. o • *#¥*¥¥*¥¥ ¥ * ¥ ¥ ¥ *; * CONGRESS TODAY *■ ¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥ ¥¥ ¥ ¥ ¥ I Senate: Continues consideration of independent offices appropriation bill.

Piano “Forces Its Way” Into Vacant Residence Gary, Ind., Feb. 2—(INS) —A piano i that “forced its way” into a locked and vacant house here, is the mystery puzzling William B. Bailey, local real estate operator. Bailey owns a residence at 2015 Maryland street. The tenants moved out about six months ago. Bailey inspected the premises and then locked the building up. Now after the house has beeu vacant for six months Bailey got a telephone call from a friend asking him whether he wished to sell that piano I he had in the residence of Maryland ■ street. z “Why I haven’t auy piano over i there,” gasped Bailey. “The only

( When the friend insisted that a piano occupied the Maryland street residence, Bailey hastened there to confirm the report with his own eyes. And there in the living room stood i a very large but somewhat dilapidated piano. It was a perfect stranger i to Bailey. Just how that piano got there and ( ; to whom it belongs is puzzling Bailey. Police have been unable to throw any i light on the mystery. o— Cciumbus —There will be no peach ; crop in Bartholomew county next, summer, orchadists declare.

BEDFORD TO GET NEW STATE PARK Indianapolis, Feb 2—(UP)—Another link will be adde dto the rapid growing chain of Indiana’s state parks, sometime this summer, with the Incorporation of 1.500 acres of primeval land in Lawrence county, about 8 miles south west of Bedford, Col. Richard Lieber, chairman of the state conservation commission announced today. Included in the new park will be the Donaldson cave and Lost river of national fame. “We are already assured of most of the ground needed”, Lieber said, “And as soon as provision can be made for re-routlug the several roads running through the territory we will declare It a state park, and protect it as a natural beauty spot.” ' Indiana is rapidly becoming known as the "garden spot of the middle west," through the development of its scenic beauty”, Lieber continued "And the squiring of this place of rugged beauty, its famous cave and lost river will add to Its reputation in no small way. We are assured of the 183 acres formerly belonging to Indiana University, and 320 additional acres given to the state by the I-ehigh_Portland Cement Company." Col. Leiber stressed the fact that TERRIBLE ECZEMA GOES QUICKLY Strong, Powreful Yet Safe, Surgeon s Prescription Called Moone’s Emerald Oil Has Astonished Physicians There is one simple and inexpensive way to reduce the danger of swollen veins and bunches, and get them down to normal, and that is to apply Moone's Emerald Oil night and mo:ning, using the Moone’s Bandage to support them during the day. People who have painful, enlarged ■ veins should not neglect them for they sometimes burst and cause much I misery and expense. j Moone's Emerald Oil besides being so marvelously antiseptic that it destroys germs and poisons caused by I germs is such a remarkable healing (agent that eczema, barbers' itch, salt > rheum and other inflammatory skin (eruptions go in a few days. I For years it has been used for boils, ulcers, abscesses and open sores that discharge and with the most perfect sure :s. All druggists will be glad to supply you. »

the ttatc la indebted to the officers of the cement compeny for making the park possibl*. mentioning especially j William Doitnecht of Mlrcbal Indiana. and H. C. Traxler and E. M. Young of I Allentown Pa , as being largely res- | ponalble for the gift. The state legislature has made provision whereby the neighboring counties may contribute 1 additional 500 acres to the park, and I Lieber said that E. Y. Guernsey, well I known geologist of Bedford, and head of the committee seeking to acquire acreage reports favorable progress.
