Falls Off Ladder, 3 Moeschberger Boy f Recovering Today Olia Moeschberger, nine-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. Art Moeschberger,- of Monroe, is a boy who today can rub his chin, and feel a patch there, rub his head and realize he’s got a couple of stitches, but he’ll never know what happened to several hours of his time. For he was unconscious. Probably the lad wori’t miss the hours he spent “out of this world’’ too much, for he normally, is sleeping part of the time anyway. But he regained consciousness shortly before midnight last night In the Adams county memorial hospital after "“passing out” in a Decgfut physicfan's office. ’ ' t Olin had fallen off a rung of a ladder inside the barn at his parents’ home in Monroe. He bumped chin on a .piece of wood, which his mother treated, and the matter was closed as far as the boy\ was concerned, for he said he was all right. .1. . ' The incident happened about 3 p. m. Tuesday. Last evening the family came to the Decatur physiI cian's Office for a routine check-up of one of the other children. J ‘ It was there, when the doctor ex-

of tickets will go to the firemen's welfare fund. The fund will be enriched more from the proceeds of advance tickets, firemen say, for the department will receive a larger percentage of this iaie: box office sales will net them materially less.; ■ i \ 4) Consequently, all firemen are cooperating, . and utilizing every advertising means available. Fot example, the old pump truck —of 1923 vintage — was parked along North Second street last Saturday emblazoned with signs telling of the forthcoming circus. Otherwise, firemen are selling the ducats, but still remark “there are plenty of seats available," though a full house is expected tor both the 2 and 8 p. m. performances. The Hagen Brothers’ circus will be the only activity of its kind in the city this summer, since the street fair, was disposed of. and no other attractions were booked. The kingdom of Nepal, between India and Tibet is 500 miles long and only about 100 miles wide. Trade in a Good Town — Decatur
