Whenever Jasper county people get an opportunity to learn anything about fruit tree care they had better take advantage of it The splendid crop of apples and pears the past year meant many thousands of dollars to our people and while it may be a long time before such a phenominal year for fruit occurs again, it is worth our while to study tree cultivation, pruning, spraying, etc. That Indiana can raise good fruit has been proven over and over again at the experimental stations and by all who have, taken care of their trees. Now is a good time to study the fruit tree business and be ready to give the trees isa best for them when the spring opens up. Information can b« procured by writing to the Purdue Experiment Station, Lafayette, Ind. • Don’t use harsh physics. The reaction weal£ns the bowels, leads to chronic constipation.

The Stock Company In “Faust” Next Saturday Night, Feb. 10.

AH announcement of special interest in the theatrical amusement line is that the performance of the immortal drama “Faust” is in the bands of the Gordon Stock Company at the Ellis theatre next Saturday night. Mr. Gordon promises an especially fine performance of this famous play and has gone to considerable extra expense in offering it to the patrons of the circuit. The scenery and light effects are promised to be above his usual standard and the costuming will be very fine as the same set of costumes used by a big city attraction which played the piece last season will be utilized. In spite of the extra expense entailed the prices will remain the same. The performance of “Raffles” given last Saturday was one of the best seen here in many a day, and helped to strengthen the popularity of the organization in this town. Many high-class dramas are to be offered in the near future.

George Reed Improving—Will Have To Have One More Operation.

Mrs. William Bennett, Who has been in Chicago with George Reed and wife since he was first taken to the hospital, returned from there on the 1:55 / train this Tuesday afternoon. She reports that Mr. Reed has been making splendid progress since last Friday morning, that he passed a fine night last night and is cheerful and confident of recovery. It will be necessary to further operate on the limb, however, to prevent later trouble. When he was so poorly after the amputation, the stitches were take out of the wound in order to help the drainage and now a small bone operation must take place so that the flesh and skin can be drawn over the bone. This will probably be performed in a few days, as soon as he is strong enough. It is thought that the operation will in no wise endanger him and that his recovery will be speedy.

Dr. Hurty Thinks Children Should Walk, Not Ride, to School.

Declaring that one child out of every four born in Indiana dies before it is two years old, Dr. J. N. Hurty, secretary of the state board of health, Saturday afternoon spoke to a large audience at the farmers’ institute at Winchester. “Every child has the inalienable right to be born free from disease, free from deformity and with pure blood in its veins and arteries,” he said. “Every child has the inalienable right to be loved; to have its individuality respected; to be trained wisely in mind, body and soul; to be protected from disease, from evil influences and evil persons, and to have a fair chance in life, to be brought up in the fear and admonitions of the Lord.” Dr. Hurty said that when simplicity and frugality of living is achieved, voluntary celibacy will become discreditable, and the premature deaths of bread winners will disappear. He condemned many of the cars now being used to haul children to schools, and said that when he was a boy he had to walk to school, and that it would be better far the children, of today if .they would do the same thing, provided the distance was not to exceed two miles.

Bluffton Continues “Dry” After Four Years Without Saloons.

Bluffton duly celebrated its dry victory and has settled down to two years more of peace and quiet. A Bluffton paper reporting the proceedings says: “For the third time in the history of the wet and dry agitation, Bluffton was made dry for another period of two years through the medium' of a blanket remonstrance. The dry forces are highly elated because of the success of their efforts, and a celebration was held at the First M. E. church, Superintendent Shirey, of the Fort Wayne district, Hon. E. C. Vaughn, Abram Simmons and H. H. Dunn delivering addresses. The church bells were rung and the usual method of celebrating victories of this sort were carried out to the letter.” The decision against the saloon in Bluffton is hut further evidence of the growing sentiment that a town without saloons is “good enough.”

That Breach of Promise Case.

The mock court trial to be given under the auspices of the Ladies’ Aid Society of the Christian church, in Ellis theatre, on Thursday evening, February Bth, promises to, be an event of unusual interest. Judging from newspaper reports of similar entertainmients conducted by the present management it would seem to be one of the most amusing things now offered for public patronage. It will be, in the first place, an exact reproduction of a court scene in methods and procedure and on this account will be extremely interesting to ladies and others who have ngyer attended a real trial. Best of all will be the refined fun of the whole affair. With Judge C. W. Hanley presiding over the court, Mrs. Geo. H. Healey appearing as the brok-en-hearted plaintiff, Mr. Frank Morrow as the defendant, Col. Newton prosecuting the case and John A. Dunlap, EBq., defending the accused, to say nothing of the brilliant array of court officers, witnesses and Jurors, it is pretty certain we shall have all the comedy and reality of a court scene and enough wholesome fun to last a whole year.
