Since the farmers have gotte/> to raising pure blooded stock, there seems to be a dearth of eggs, the hens no doubt being too stuck up to lay eggs for common “eats." Or perhaps, a suffragette has been filling their heads with some “new woman" ideas. Harmon Bosse, who returned from ’ Lima. Ohio, several days ago on account of illness, is much better, and will soon be able to return to Lfma to resume his work. He is one of the leading machinists in the boiler department of the Lima Locomotive Works and his presence is greatly needed as a workman. U —

Owing to the fact that the Interurban cars were running off schedule, j Mrs. Stella Phillips, the domesti< sc ence teacher, '■ J uld not arrive until Monday al term, at 1 o'clock, instead ■ . 10 o'clock, ai.j therefore could not get things in readiness for the first section of the high achool cooking class. This section was accordingly fd’smissed and tue next two took their tegular instruction. This first section was, however, a lesson ahead t of the others, so this sets them even, again, and makc-a things more convenient for all. The classes made ginger bread Monday, and the first section postponed its plain butter cakemaking until next week, when all will work at that.

REGULA E TRAEHC City Council Prepares Ordi-1 nance Governing Traffi in City of Decatur. IN CASE OF FIRE! Penalty is Attached to Those j Who Violate Law and Soon to be Enforced. An ordinance regulating the traflb in the city of Decatur on occasions of fire was prepared and brought before the city council Tuesday evening a: ; the regular session, for the public I safety, and governing people and moving vehicles alike. The ordinance, which was read by the clerk was I quite lengthy and covers many rules to be observed in case of fire. The ori dinance reads that when a fire alarm is sounded all pedestrians are to take | i the right side of the walk as the stat-' ute by law requires; if not, safety protevtion is adverse to them, and the city is not responsible should accident i occur. When an alarm is sounded all moving vehicles—wagons, buggies, automobiles. motorcycles, bicycles and other vehicles —are required to stop to ascertain the whereabout of the fire, and having done so are to give the full liberty of the street to the I fire department, should it be in the di- ' riection in which they are traveling. Should any one, either person or moving vehicle, be found violating this 1 ordinance, they will be guilty of a misdemeanor, and a penalty of a fine of not less than $5.00, nor more than $20.00 can be affixed for the violation, with also a sentence not to exceed thirty days of incarceration, if it is so desired to attach. This was done for the better protection of the citizens of Deeatur, and when the new city hall is completed, and the new chemical engine in operation, such a law will be necessary, as is the custom ii. all cities. It is a good one, and if al labide b ythe laws as laid down by the city officials there will be cause for no violation to the law, and all accidents can easily be averted. —o Work Was Plenty CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE (1.

Wayne Electric Wks 4.45 : VALENTINE DAY APPROACHES. The approach of St. Valentine's day. February 14th, is being heralded by the windows and book and drug stores, where there is on display every kind of appropriate missives, from the gorgeous and expensive creations of celluloids, tinted paper, tinsel and pasteboard, down to the plainest of I postcards. More noticeable this year than ever In the absence of the old--1 time penny-a-piece comic valentines. These were generally coarse produci Hons, usually .vlth caricatures of human forms depicted upon them, and were often meant to reflect upon the personal appearance, habits, character, etc., of the recipient. They have been replaced by the post card, none the less satirical and humorous, but lacking the vulgarity and offensiveness. The sensational and kinds become more and more elaborate and their popularity does not seem to wane, each new generation falling into the ancient custom. According to the old love-making formula, a young man or Woman betrothed during this season could consider the promises broken if the other failed to give a present or entertainment of some kind before mid-Lent. It is a
