It must have been his desire to do things right that prompted President Coolidge to take tho oath of office twice, following the death of President Harding. As William Wrigley, Jr., stated ii. when the fire begins to die out you must shovel in more coal. When business is in the dying stages, advertise. Xlte tragic death of Sylvester Sammons, publisher of the Morriston Sun is regrettable. No doubt ill health and other worries caused Mr. Sammons to commit the terrible deed and the sympathy of brother publishers is extended to his bereaved family and friends. Sanilago, Cuba, was visited by an earthquake yesterday and first reports place the deaths at alsiut lUU. Nearly 75 per cent of all the buildings were destroyed and several hundred persons were injured. The quakes were felt in Guantanamo and Bayonto. hut no damage was doin'. The world is concerned over the condition of John D. Rockefeller, grand old man of the Standard Oil Company. The aged financier and founder of one of the greatest, organizations in tin world, is .suffering from a cold and the assurance is given that his condition is not s'iTloiis Mr. Rocket'cTler is 92 years of age. Schools throughout Hie county will fittingly observe the two hundredth birthday of George Washington. This year the nation is observing the bi-centennial of the birth of the Father of Our Country and no finer program could be carried out than Hie bringing Io the pupils attention of the life and ideals of the great Washington. The Japs seem to be a heartless loi, cruel and inhuman in their program of bringing the poor Chinese to submission. The airplane raids killed many innocent women and i hildren ami Hie invaders seem to get a real thrill in seeing the suffering inflicted by the bombs and guns. School attendance records are I.eing kept tip in the public and Catholic schools in this city. For tin firi.t semester, ending February first. Hie Catholic schools had an average attendance of 9fi.fi and the public schools, 97.fi.

expended and we believe the public appreciates it. The Dally Democrat, In the vary ( near future will begin publishing a series of Informative articles on gardens and raising of vegetables ,t and flowers. These articles are prepared by government author--2 Hies. They are interesting and in- •* struetive to the person who roti 5 iclves pleasure In seeing things 0 grow There is something about a 5 0 garden which thrills a person and 0 as nature unfolds, the person who is a lover of the soil Is thrilled by tile progress of plant life. Watch for the articles. Contracts have been awarded by the commissioners for furnishing stone and other material, ineluding gasoline, oil and auto tires to the county highway department for the ' next year. By contracting for a ’ years supply the county receives ' the advantage of wholesale quota--1 tions and practically everything 1 purchased this year is lower in price. The price of stone is reduced ten cents a ton at the quarry, 1 resulting in a saving of from four to five thousand dollars. The commissioners went over each propos|al thoroughly and accepted the I most satisfactory ones. The esteem which Orval Harruff. Igenial and accommodating superintendent of the Water department of the city plant was held was demonstrated this afternoon at the funeral services for the public of 1 : ficial whose death occurred Monday evening. Mayor George Krick. I members of the city council, city officials and employes attended the service in a body and paid final respects to one who they admired on account ot his sincerity, honesty land willingness to help others. Mr ! Harruff w ill be missed in the official citv family, his 12 years of I public service making a place hard to fill. The county commissioners in Wells County have inaugurated a new system for ’he highway department similar to Hiat placed in force by Chris Eicher, Adams comity road superintendent, two years ago. Instead of having 28 district road .superintendents the Well;, comity commissioners have decided to employ only nine men; one for each township. These district superintendents will supervise the ’ work in their respective townships ( and report to the superintendent The change’ was made with the idea ol economy and is along the line of the system in practice in Allen, Adams and other counties. Adams county has only four district superintendents, Hie county being laid off in quarters and savings in wages resulted under the practice. Huntington observed its one hundredth birthday last Tuesday and in commemoration of the event the Herald-Press issued a 24-page Historical edition The special edi | lion of Hie paper tells of the found | lug of the county and how the! county seat was established. The town was named Huntington for one of the signors of the Declaration of Independence and today it is one of the thriving and model cities in the state. It has a population of 15,000 and despite the depression the citizens enjoy more luxuries and comforts than the sturdy pioneers who carried on I mainly with hope and ambition to do thing:;. Ciiiigratulaliotis were received on the centennial from President Hoover, Governor Leslie, Senators Watson and Robinson and other notables and all Hoosierdom joins in extending hearty gootl wishes to the people of Huntington county. — o OTICE FARMEit-j— et us grind your feed with portable hummelmill.

CHURCH REVIVALS Methodist (By W F. Beery) The revival nt the first M E. church hits gone into the last week and men are still unsaved. There an t aa> question but *’*’-« the aertnons of Dr. Bulgln have lieen the greateat, the most interesting and the most spiritual heard in this city In ri'ars He "» : i man without a peer in Ma line I of work. He is a scholarly gentle- ’ man who says no offensive thint* I and yet preaches the truth *o i plain that even a child can underI stand. The singing, always a great help to any preacher, has been an Inspiration to both evangelist and congregation Prof. Charlie is a past master in the art of singing and song loading. Ills solo wort lias been an outstanding part of the services. On next Saturday evening at 7 o’clock Prof. Clark will culminate his two weeks work with the children of the city with a great program at the church. He has three hundred children from practically every church In the city with whom he has been laboring for two weeks, teaching them to sing, to pray and to appreciate the Bible Preceding the service the children will give a parade In the down town section of the city and will sing and give their yells. Tliey will then march to the church whore they will give the program. Their program will be followed by a beautiful pageant Illustrating the "Turning Away from the Beautiful Gate.” Prof. Clark says that in one city this pageant brought one hundred fifty souls to the alter. The writer has witnessed the rehearsals for this program and predicts that It will l»e one of the greatest programs ever presented in this city. If you want to get into the house you had better come early. The prayer services throughout the city have lieen a very fine part of this campaign. The men meet each day in the Chamber of Commerce rooms and many conversions have been made in them. Ou tomorrow from 9:30 to 10:i*0 a service will be held and all men of the city «re welcome. Dr. Buigin wants to give a special message to the men. The text for the sermon on last evening was taken from Second Samuel. 9th chapter and 13tb verse. "So Mephibosheth dwelt in Jerusalem: for he did eat continually at the king's table; and was lame on both his feet." From this text he drew a graphic word picture of the friendship of IJa.id and Jonathan, and how wlieu David was a peasant, huntec by King Saul, they made a covenant pledging their loyalty through life and after death of one. the other was to care for tho family of the ■other. David, after becoming king remembered his promise to Jonathan and inquired if any still lived who was of the house of Saul. Being informed by his servant Ziba that Jonathan's sou Mephibosheth still lived, lie sent for him and restored unto him all the land of his grandfather. King Saul, and aused him to live in Jerusalem and to eat at the king's table continually. Mephibosheth was a cripple, not from any cause of his own. but iG childhood was dropped by a careless servant. And so the .only of men are crippled because of the sin brought into the world by Adam and Eve. Men stay away from church because they cannot stand the light. Neither can bed bugs, cockroaches nor rats. Turn on the light and see them scamper. So men are < ontinually turning from the light. Some men are so narrow that they can see through a key hole with liith eyes at once. The biggest, business in the world is being a Christian. Ambassador Gerard never apologized to the Germans for being an ambassador of the American people and neither should we apologize for being an ambassador of the King. Mephibosheth is the picture of n disabled soul, saved for another-, sake. Man. cannot you go to those about you and help in the name of the Master? Go in the spirit of Jesus and Lo. 1 am with you always. - —- - — t> Hero Shrine Earth Mixed Winthrop. Mo.

When he hud returned Hint evening Slrnd swceeiled In writing a letter to Ruth Wake in wlileli lie felt a aenae of pride and satlafai tlon. It told of hla day with Bumpy Brown. It* spelling and grammar would later haie made him wince, but nut In hl» best dn.in could lie have Im proved Its humor. CHAPTER IV Foreground of the Mystery. SHAD spent a year and a half In Hie little village. It was enlivened hy many visits to Hie Fun Shop in Brown's cove. The myste : rious young lady had thrown a glamor of romance upon it. Once ' Bony had spoken playfully of their ndminitiou and of their wish to see her again. Bumpy Brown looked serious and quickly changed the tofiic. He never spoke of her. The boys had jolly times with the tinker and his bird. He entertained them with quaint jests and thrilling tides and good Raid. His good-natured, merry talk, not like that of any other man, had made them fond of film. Tliey were keenminded boys. They suspected that Ids stories were | not all true, Hiat Id* alleged friend : “Muggins" was a fiction. In spite of all this, they loved to lie with Bumpy Brown. Shad had now begun to find himself. He was growing in strength. : stature and wisdom. He had learned bow to study. He had acquired an , almost sinful longing for good i idothes. Still lie liked not less good hooks am] good company. His friend. : tlie village doctor, had lent him the ' novels of Reade and Dickens ami the poems of Longfellow and Ten ' nyson. His best creditors were the I doctor, the grammar, and the die- ! tionary. Ho had begun to enjoy his letter-writing. He had a sense of pride in the long letter that be had - written to Mr. Converse. Mr. Converse was so pleased with ' the letter that ne sent a cheek of ; fifty dollars to the laiy and hade him I do ns ho pleased with the money.! Shad went to Ashfield and bought ! fine raiment. 1 - Tlint day he wrote! a letter to Ruth Blake in which he: said: "At last I can come to visit you I without being intimidated and oppressed by soil’d garments. I hope that you will like my new clothe* and me. \Ve have gone into partnership nnd our business Is to make i a good impression on you. If we , fail I shall not blame the clothes i but I shall think that 1 am in very had luck." It must be said that the undertaking was successful. On three Sundays tliat autumn he and the new clothes were engaged in this romantic enterprise. The handsome lad and the girl were canoeing and rode about the countryside logeilier. The boy sHcceeded in getting himself deeply in Ince. The last of , these visits was on a Sunday late in October. The colonel was not at home. Sluhl ate a midday dinner witli Rutli und her motlier. The girl left them for a time to go out on an errand. This was a purely strategic move. The friendly gentlewoman and tlie boy talked toget her. "Amity lr,im jg no place for you," said Mrs. Blake. "I'm going to try to help you out of that mire of rusticity. You must come to Canton and go to school. The colonel and I have been laying plans. I have no boy and I could be a kind of mother to you." "I should like that. I would be very proud." "You need a motlier or a father to whom you could bring your troubles. You are so young" “Well, my greatest trouble is the fact that I am so young." "Do you call that a trouble* I wish that I were back at your ago. 1 was in love nt seventeen, it was tho beginning of a great happiness." The boy wn“ quick to take ad vßAtßge of tlii* opening. He was loaded for it. He blushed as he looked nt her nnd snid: "1 guess that I know how you felt. You loved to lie down at night and he alone with your happiness. In the morning the birds sang of the love in your heart. Even the flowers In the field knew your secret. I'hey looked at you and nodded their heads ss if they would give you encouragement. That is Hie way they treat me." •'You?" “Yes, they are alwayii reminding me of the colors in her hair nnd eyes and cheeks. I think that the sun and the moon and the stars shine only to show her fa< e tn me." "My child: Are you in love?" "Yes. but I am not a child." whom do you love?" "Your daughter." •Mrs. Blake took the boy’s hand and laughed.

■•ln love! nnd getting one hundred and fifty dollars n year!" she ex- ' claimed with good-natured amusement. "I suppose that you nnd jour wife could get along on bread and water." "I am not always going to be I poor.” "Your school days have scarcely ! begun.” ‘T leain sash I shall get nlong." | ‘ T he time to fall in love Is after I i you have got along, not before. ‘‘lt comes when it comes. No- | body can tell when be will fall In I love.” "I wouldn't take this so seriously. You'll get over it." "Never! You don’t know how bad !it is. I would rather die than give it up. I want to be engaged to Ruth." "It is impo““ih!e. You are both far too young." "But you were only seventeen when you fell in love.” "True, but those days things were different and 1 was not engaged foe a jear after that. The colonel was then throe years older than >-»ld enough to he sure of himself. Now. Shad. I must ask ! you to promise me on your word 1 of honor as n gentleman that you will say nothing to Huth of Ibis until I give you permission to do it. W'e’U see how yo,; get along and ; we shall do everylhlng that we can do to help you. If you keep your Inve for her and if she should be I fond of you we will have another : talk about it by and lif." "I will make the protHise and I . keep it, but if 1 see that some other fellow is trying to get her it would I be hard for me to keep myself from i jumping in.” | “Don’t worry. You have the inside track. Wt are all fond of you. I Let's see what hastens." Sltad returned to his task in Am--1 itj- I'am a bit depressed. Soon after that an unexpected trouble came upon him. One of the gold rings had : been missing from its showcase for a week. Sime the loss had lieen | discovered Shad bad obsenisl a ■ difference— sUglh. but. unmistakable I —in the manner of Mr. and Mrs. : Smithers. Indeed, he Iliought that other people had begun to treat him ’ coolly. The next Sunday afternoon Shad . and Bony went down to Brown's I cove. Shad told Bumpy of his j trouble. “Folks are just nat'rnlly cussed I mean." said Bumpy. “They’re made : that way. By Jeedix! They can’t ; help It no more'n a toad can help i havin' warts. I heard t'other day in a house where 1 was tinkerin’ that ( you an' Bony was wild. I says: 'Them boys are all right. Till they’ve learnt their lesson be easy on 'em. They’ll come out as straight as a loon's leg.'” Boys are quick to detect the note lof insincerity. Tliey knew that ' Bumpy spoke from Ills heart In spite I of bis own Htterncss. Suddenly lie came to Shad. ‘■Boy, I forgot yer trouble.” lie said. "Tell me about that ring. When did you see it fast?" "When I was showing it and some other trinkets to a girl the other day." “What girl?" ‘T don't know her name, she was about cighieen years old- light colored hair an' blue eye*, site had I pretty teeth an' a tumed-up nose. ( | There was a scar on her left cheek. . Wore a blue dress." "I'm afraid she's rather liglit-fin- , gored, saiff Bumpy. “I know her, an' what folks say in her neighborhood • —a few miles smith o' here. I'm agnin' up there in a day or two. 11l see what 1 can do. Don't , worry." As they were leaving Bumpy said: [ “Come dow n next Sunday. I mayhave some news." i The next Snmiiy, to avoid erili- ■ cism. they wont Io meeting and promptly SP | „ nt f nr p, r , iwn <i rr)ve ; Bumpy xtamlkig by His <|oor. , He wavoil his hat as tliey came nji and culled out: I "By Jeedix, boys: i' m happv! : See that?" He held up the gold ring between bis thumb and forefinger. Shad trembled with excitement. "How did you got it?" ho asked. “Oh, 1 wont an' see that gal an’ 1 Jus' mured It out o' h«»r. Told her she'd have to give it back or go to .tail, she broke down and hand efi it over. It was kind o' pitiful. 1 told her nobody would even know her name an - n lpv won't—not from tfie.
