There Is much good literary talent among the high school students, and many stories were written. On ac-|: count of the limited space in The Booster, not all of these were publish-' ed, but all were submitted to the judges, who were Dr. S. P. Hoffman, ; and the Misses Bess Congleton and i Bertha Heller. b The stories were submitted In type- j written form, and without the names { of the authors, so that no possible fa- ! i voritlsm could be shown, and tha! i judges be influenced by nothing except ’- the merit of the story itself. The j judges conceded that the prize should go to the author of the story, “Harry’s Moose." This proved to be Rex Sowle, one of the Senior boys, manv i of whose excellent artless have appeared in the Booster from time to, time, and from whom great things are expected. The prize offer is appreciated very much by the high school faculty and it Is a great incentive to good work. Mrs. B. W. Sholty is in receipt of the Dally Arizona Gazette, published at Phoenix, Arizona which tells of the ; good fortune that befell an Adams [county girl, Miss Vera, eldest daughter of Charles Moore, and eldest granddaughter of the late T. R. Moore of this city. In a popular girl voting contest recently put on by the Gneztte, Miss Vera won the first prize in her district, and in thus one of the nine district winners who will be entitled to a trip and a month’s stay at [Santiago, Cal. The party of nine willj [be chaperoned by Mrs. C. N. Ferry and , will have their headquarters at the i :F. S. Grant hotel at Santiago, one of [ the finest hotels of that city, while they will enjoy many side trips to I points of interest. The party will 1 ■start July 5. Besides this Miss Moore won a |25 diamond ring and pearl i broach as a third prize; a sls shopping tmg in a special collection prize; and all contestants receive ten per cent of the collections they gathered. j Miss Moore, who will be eighteen years of age in June, was born in Blue Creek township, this county. The family has lived in Arizona for ten years. They live on a forty-acre ranch ; about seven miles from Phoenix, and ’Mr. Moore serves as a rural mail carrier out of that city. Mr. Moore was here last during his father's late illness and death. There is no reason on earth why every city, town and township in Adams county should not have a free public library, if all the people of the i county understood how the library laws of the state work. Os course, everybody nowadays recognizes the need for public libraries. The library is the adult school, “the people’s university." It is the place to which all classes of citizens may go for concrete facts, for general information, for inspiration and for entertainment—for pleasure and for profit. And what other public institution offers as much to all the people? But the cost! Yes, that’s the rub. But it isn’t really a very- serious rub after all. It has been proven—is being proven every day in Indiana — that the per capita cost for maintaining a library is only a few cents—much less per year than many a man spends each month for tobacco. There are nearly 159 public libraries in Indiana, dozens of which are being supported by small towns and by townships. One fine thing about the library laws of Indiana is that co-operation is possible between towns and townships and between one or more townships. This makes the maintenance of public libraries easy in many communities where it would otherwise be difficult And the library service is good under such schemes, for it is customary now for a library that serves a rural community to establish little branch libraries in all the county school houses, In country stores, rural churches, etc., so that everybody can have easy access to the book collections. The State of Indiana is so much interested in this proposition that it maintains a library department called the Public Library Commission—at 104 State House, Indianapolis— ■ whose chief business is to answer j ! questions ami give free advice on the establishment and organization of public libraries. Club women especially should interest themselves in local public library movements. It is at once a most practical thing and an aid to culture. As 'Federation chairman of the Eighth district, I earnestly recommend that this matter receive early attention. Respectively, MRS. J. H. NORRIS. John Faurot, a blacksmith of Middlebury, Ohio, had the misfortune of re- j: reiving a fractured ankle Thursday , afternoon while doing some shopping ln the city. About 4:30 Mr. Faurot had driven with a horse and light spring wagon to the Carroll warehouse to make some purchases. He was arranging them in the rear end of the wagon with his face toward the front, when from some unexplained cause the horse started to walk away. This , overbalanced Mr. Faurot and threw

him heavily to the brick pavement ( Witnesses to the accident quickly car-! rlod him to the office of Dr. Miller, I where it was found he had receive a i Potts fracture of the left ankle. Mr. 1 , Fourot fi a man of about fifty-five Iyears, and It will undoubtedly require'] several weeks to heal the fracture. I The horse was stopped In front of the < Gregory and McKinna store nnd taken i in charge by friends of the Injured! man. An automobile was secured i -from the Holthouso Garage and he i to his hone- last evening. v i V. D. BELL SUES. 1 Vincent D. Bell, the well known [ iCraigvillo citizen,./today brought suit . [in circuit court, to foreclose a mortgage on Cralgvllle property on which ’ is located a store room, which has . changed hands many times in the past. I few months. The defendants in the 1 suit are as follows: Amos T. Mollonhour, Mary A. Mollenhour, of Kosciusko county; Elmer and Ettie Klopfenstlne, of Elkhart county; Orval Role erts, Marshall county, and John A. Martz and Beatrice Martz, of Wells county. The defendant asks judgment In the sum of SI.SOO, the fore- j closure of the mortgage and an order of sale from the court. The complaint ■ alleges that Mollenhour borrowed I $1,500 from the plaintiff on April Id, 1912, and the plaintiff was insured by | the mortgage on Cralgvllle lots, Nos. j 42 and 43, on which is located tho I store room. Mr. Bell says that Molknhours sold the property to Gertrude C. and Clyde H. Metlker, August 24, [1912, and they sold it to James C. [Adair, December 1912. Klopfen-' 'stine assumed the mortgage and In ■April, 1913, he sold the real estate to ’John A. Martz. Orval Roberts holds a junior mortgage, the complaint states, [and for this reason he is made a party to the suit. The complaint says the premises are inadequate and not sufficient for the debt, and also says the store room is unoccupied at the present time. The plaintiff asks judgment in the sum of SI,BOO, a foreclosure of his mortgage and an order for the sale of the property. Frank Gordon is the ; plaintiff's attorney.—Bluffton Banner. Ed Hurst, who has served well as one of the firemen’s force stationed at the headquarters at the city building, resigned Thursday evening.
