Mrs. James Mead came down from Hammond today to visit her paren s, Mr. and Mrs. E. L. Clark. Her little daughters, Wanda and Genevieve, preceded her here about a week. A baby w'as born this morning to Mr. and Mrs. Zern Wright and for a time the life of the mother hung 'n the balance. The indications are now very much better for her, however. The child did not live. State Representative John G. Brown was over from Monon this morning paying his taxes on 240 acres of land he owns in this county. He will be a candidate for re-election in the WhiteJasper district and his record of the last session deserves his return.

F. M. Wagner, a prominent Gil lam township democrat, was in town today. He is strongly anti-Taggart and opposed to that individual’s strong hald on the party and was consequently rejoiced at the victory of the Marshall plan for naming a senatorial candidate and glad that the man was John W. Kern. Henry H. Ragon, one of the pioneer newspaper men of Indiana, editor and publisher of the Lowell Tribune, a staunch republican organ, has received word that he has been admitted to the practice of law before the interior department at Washington, D. C. Mr. Ragon is a veteran G. A. R. and the father of Messrs. E. E. and L. W. Ragon. The latter is junior editor of the Tribune,'and his brother is president of the Rural Mail Carriers’ association of Lake county. The honor granted to Editor Ragon is an unusual one. It is reported that Congressman Crumpacker presented Mr. Ragon’s application to the interior department. A Jdissouri editor who went on a vacation recently, left a minister in charge of his .paper. A day or two later, a letter from a “wayback subscriber came which read:“You know durn well I paid my subscription the last time I was in your town. If I get any more such leters I will come down and maul the devil out of you.” The minister answered:“l have been trying to maul that thing out of the editor for the past 10 years, and if you really do come down and maul it out of him, then, my dear sir, I have 20 members of my church you can operate on. •Under the heading, “The Flight of Time” a writer in the Bohemian magazine expresses himself as follows: “Backward, turn backward, O Time in thy' flight! Give ns an autoless day and night. Give us a ‘yellow’ sane headline to scan. A rustelless skirt, and a hustleless man, a babe teddy bearless, a. microbeless kiss, a fistic fight takeless, a straight frontless miss, a giggleless school girl, and—better than that—A summer clad college man wearing a hat! I know, Father Time, that I’m asking too much, but turn back to a day ere a dinner was lunch, swing back to an age peroxideless for hair A noon erq ‘rats’ made their rendevous there—An old fashioned breakfast without Shredded Hay, a season when farmers went wineless a day, a burg moving pictureless—ah, what a treat, a gumless girl town, and a trolleyless street; I’m asking too much, but I pray Daddy Time, for a day has both substance and rhyme.
