E. workers in and 1 around Berne, and that thirty years ago such a convention would have ' teen impossible. He compared and contrasted the times, showing what ' wonderful places the young peoples meetings have in making up our Christian civilization. Rev. H. H. Kattman, pastor of the German Retormed church at Berne, spoke the welcome address in behalf of the pastors. He spoke in complimentary terms for the societies, showed hew they are an assistance to the church and how needful, that this cooperation is needed in battling toward sin Mies Florence E.

Kelley, president ol Earlham college Dr. Kelley spoke over an hour on the subject, “Some Observations on the Convention Motto.” The motto, however, this year is, - Consecration, Efficiency, Service.” He gave a masterful address, showing the need f st of consecration in a Christian life and especially in the career of a Chris-, tian Endeavorer. He also pictured the need of efficiency in the modem Christian institution and in proportion to the average business be stated that the modern church was far behind the times. He spoke on several points where the church today was lacking and in serious terms denounced the indifference and frivolity that is undermining our Christian churches. Dr. Kelley does not believe that socials and theaters are a good substitute for the real, old-fashioned faith of our fathers. His address was brimful or good, wholesome facts and was received well.

• The Mennonite male chorus then furnished an excellent piece of muI- sic, after which the offering was taken and the benediction pronounced. A splendid program awaited the ats tendants all day today and Sunday - Many from Decatur are attending, and ! more are contemplating going over # Sunday. n * RAILING FUNERAL, f i . e i The late Samuel Railing was laid to j rest this afternoon in Maplewood cemejetery, following services held at 2 ' o’clock at the Methodist church by c the Rev.

Naylor and his wife had been in this j 1 I city since last Sunday, and had taken j 1 rooms on Madison street. After ha< J ing his eye dressed, he returned to 1 his rooms, hoping to have the comfort 1 ' and care of his wife. He was as- j 1 tounded, however, to find the room de-: 1 ' serted, with a letter lying on the dresser, explaining that his wife had | left him. i , He appeared heart broken when in- < . terviewing his landlady after making 1 the terrible discovery. He, of course, a was suffering terribly from the pa.a ; , of the loss of his eye, but he evident- | ’ ly considered that a minor misfortune <

tor he said to the landlady: "Os course you have heard the worst. My wife has left me. My God. what have 1 done that I should have such misfortune?” ! The landlady knew of her leaving in | the morning for Indianapolis, in com-1 pany with a Mrs. Wood, who had j spent the night there, and supposed it was for a visit only, but he seemed to be convinced that it was for always. Those who knew the couple seemed surprised to hear of her going away in this manner, as the evening before they had seemed perfectly congenial. It is said, however, that she has left him before in their three short months of married life. The bride is only eighteen years of age, while Mr. Naylor is about twentyeight or nine. Mrs. Naylor is said to have been at one time an inmate of the house of correction at Indianapolis, and while on parole, met Mr. Naylor, and seven months after married him. While talking to his landlady he saiu he loved the girl very much, and in marrying her bad desired to give her a good home and the best of care, which he was well able to do, having a good position and salary. The landlady stated that the wife had told her a day or so before that she intended to take some money out of his pockets and go to Kendallville to join a show. On Thursday. Mrs. Wood of Indianapolis, who is in charge of the house of correction at Indianapolis, came, and Friday, it is said. Mrs. Naylor left with her. Whether she had heard of the erratic girl's ways, and had decided that the home at Indianapolis was the place for her, and induced her to return there, is not known. Mrs. Naylor took her best clothing with her, and the rest, which was left here. Mr. Naylor took to her mother’s home at Fort Wayne, he going there to enter the hospital, under the charge of the Moose lodge, of which is a member.

This is a large to ir- ': ing car, Mr. Rice buying a large auto ■, in anticipation of the probably veryheavy burden which will come with ■ ;<archis post system. January first. ’ Mr. Rice has been making the trips ' with a motor-cycle, and making good time, covering his twenty-six mle ■ route by eleven o'clock. The auto made just about the same time ye«er

day, but will prove better, because of the greater burden it can carry. .Mr. Rice was formerly city mail carrier, but exchanged with Mel Butler Mr. Rice who lately moved to his farm east of the city, is thus enabled to finish his mall carrying by noon and then has the afternoon to devote to his own work on the farm The only | other automobile used on rural routes here , was one used for a short while I by W P Biggs, but Mr Rices is the first that will be adopted for general j use.

Thirty-two nations were represented as well as every state in this union. California, Louisiana and Maryland had special cars with exhibits, and Indiana was represented by flve separ- < ate and distinct divisions in the national exhibits. The sessions were most profitable from an instructive point of view, and Dr. Boyers is well i pleased with his trip and attendance. : The exhibit part closes today, and the Indiana division will be shipped to Indianapolis for conservation there. Our own Dr. Hurty. of the Indiana ' Commission of health, was in attendance. and Dr. Boyers was pleased to 1 l“ara how highly esteemed he is by all and of his international reputa- 1 tion.

E Ashcraft claims the honor of issuing the first 'Daily paper in Decatur. There is where he is mistaken.

The next morning after he was arrested the Morning Journal was on, the streets for sale at 5 o'clock, with, an issue of 800 and the entire lot was sold before 8 o'clock Yours.

M' ' ♦ Be fl An Easy Way to Stop a Serious Waste j CAN you imagine the average housewife of the corn belt refusing to collect eggs because they were not worth as much as the hens? Yet in this same corn belt many corn growers waste evtry year almost as large a part of the corn crop as eggs are of the poultry business. The feeding value of corn stc.ver,. cut at the right time and properly cured, is about one-third of the total crop. If you have been letting this good fodder go to waste you should know that there is an easy way to save it. That way is to use an I H C Corn Binder Deering, McCormick, Milwaukee, or Osborne The difficulty has been to harvest the corn at the right time, and quickly enongh to retain all the good feeding value of the stalks and leaves. You can’t always get extra help to harvest it quickly with corn knives. With an I H C corn binder you can harvest forty acres in seven days from the time the ears begin to glaze. 1 hen. when the whole crop is run through an IHC busker and shredder -either Deering, McCormick, or Plano —you have secured as nearly all of your corn crop as could be harvested. Your corn is husked clean and you have besides a large quantity of nutritious roughage for the winter feeding of your stock. Also, there is no better, quicker, or cheaper way of cutting corn for ensilage than with an IHC corn binder. See the IHC local dealer and have him show an IHC corn binder. He will give you full information and supply you with catalogues. or, write International Harvester Company ?.*neric® Incorporated) Ft Wayne Ind.
