While On Fishing Trip in Lanneli a 'Storm Came Up and Coast Liner Came to Reseue. John J. A. Alter returned to the home of his father, Lewis S. Alter, of Carpenter township, last week, after being gone eleven months in the east. He was in every state from Maine to Virginia except Rhode sland. He saw nearly all the points of interest, especially around New York, such as Oyster Bay, Coney Island, Bdldoe’s Island, and climbed to the top of the Goddess of Liberty, dug for clams, tonged for oysters, fished for crabs, etc. Went out in a fishing boat, run by gasoline and sail for three days. Did not catch much except a few flounders ?ud snappers, apd three sharks, 4 feet long. The third day the weather got rough and they started back for land. A large coast liner overtook .them, threw them a line, which was made fast to the bow of their boat and hoisted on board. The three occupants of the boat took -to the water os the waves were about twenty feet high and the boat rolled and swung dangerously. After the boat was on board a line was thrown to .the fishers in the water, and soon all were safely on board and a few hours later 1 were safely on land again. Went out on a revenue cutter to Leper’s Island, where all cases of leprosy are banished. He worked awhile as fireman on the big 1 freight engines over the mountains from Pennsylvania to Maine. Went on steamer down the Hudson river. Worked in a cann tng factory at Baltimore. Brought home some nice pear,s that were worth live cents a bushel there in the onelistrd, or sixteen ceffts a bushel delivered at the factory. Pears are not high living there. At Washington he visited many places of interest. Was at top of Washington’s monument, visited Mt. Vernon, Alexandria, Arlington Heights and many other places. Two months before 'he went east he took a triD to the west as far as the Black Hills of South Dakota, stopping several days with his brother, Lewis F. Alter, in northwestern Nebraska. In Franklin, Pa., :he made the ac-i! a sister of the famous 1 '; John D. Rockefellow, a nice charitable' old lady. He 'has cousins in Pennsylvania and New York City. Wihile atjj Baltimore he called on Joseph Amel-fc ing, a former Newton county re-si-' dent. If he could sell out at a fair pricei ; he would probably return to Indiana.. like most other Hoosiers who have/] traveled far to find a better placethan Indiana and came back disappointed. Johu lost his vote for president, but said politics were very quiet. Considerable betting the last two or three days of the campaign.

Patron Says Teacher “Haint Got No Sence.”

Truant Officer Steward went to Wheatfield Tuesday morning and from there to a school in Kankakee township to try to straighten out a matter on complaint of Henry McColley, who ha 3 withdrawn his three children from school on the ground that the “teacher don’t no nuthin a.nd ihaint got no sence.” McColley has a large family and his children are said to have caused trouble to all teachers. The father is a poor man and generally receives help from the township during -the year. Trustee Shirer is said- to have made some investigation and he is satisfied with the teacher, but McColley .has taken bis children away and says he will not send them back until a new teacher is installed. He said in a letter to the truant, officer that one of his d-ns j punished and -that 'he complained- tot! the trustee and that the trustee saw:] the teacher land that this made her 5 “mad” and she whipped another one*: of the children just for spite. The trustee expected to inform M<rColley that his children would have' to go to school and would have to behave themselves or the father wouM j be prosecuted. “It is not the intention of the truant officer to interfere with school discipline,” remarked the tmi»tee. He will also look, after some ocher matters while in 'the north end. There axe said to be a number of truant tew violations at Knlman and Mr. Steward intends to see that the children are at once put into school or prosecutions against the parents begun. There Is also one case at Virgie. that he expects to look after.

CEMETERY BRIDGE NEARING COMPLETION

Cement Arched Structure Over Max* well Ditch Will Add to Weston Landscape Beauty. The main work in building the memorial bridge in Weston cemetery has been completed, but the smooth finish and the lodge emblems will not be added until the warm weather of next spring. T.he bridge is 15 feet by 15 feet, 4 inches over all. The abutments are 8 feet high, 2 feet in width at the base and 18 inches at the top. The waterway is 12 feet wide and it is 7 feet from the present water level to the center of the arch. The frame work constructed to build the arch over -has not yet been torn away. The bridge is well planned and well built. In the spring it will be given a smooth exterior finish and at that time all the lodges and societies that have contributed to it will place their emblems thereon. Sexton Holden Is of the opinion that there will be eighteen lodges and auxiliaries represented by inscriptions or emblems. The western part of the old cemetery and the new purchases will be greatly benefited by the new bridge. The landscaping plan of Sexton Holden, which has been partly carried out, will make the cemetery one of rare beauty and the bridge was an essential part of it. When completed a lagoon will extend from the fence back of the Frye property toward the bridge and 'the earth from the excavation will be used im filling in low places along the Maxwell ditch, over which the new bridge extends.

CASH IS NEEDED FOR THANKSGIVING

iiSolicitors Have Secured 25 Chiekens, ■ 10 Sacks of Flour and 8 Bushels of Potatoes. Mrs. C. A. Roberts and Mrs. A. P. Bt’rton ftmnd the people in a charitable and generous mood this year ami report that they have secured for the Thanksgiving distribution to poor families 25 chickens,, 10 sacks of flour and 8 bushels of potatoes. This will be enough of these articles, but Will fall far short of making complete Thtunksgiving dinners and the fruit and other things donated at the entertainment tonight will be a big factor in making the poor people happy on Thursday. The committee set out with the hope of securing SIOO besides the donated articles and they are hoping to do this. A dollar or a half or a quarter from you will help to care for the less fortunate during the approaching cold weather. It will be in good hands if dropped in the collection basket at the Methodist church tonight. Remember, this is not a denominational matter. All the churches are engaged 'in the work together. The ministers of the churches aid in the distribution and see -that it is fairly done. What id not needed at this time will be reserved for a later time when it will be needed. Give liberally and thus have added cause for a Thanksgiving of good cheer.

Eleven “Hello* Girls Will Be Guests at Turkey Dinner Given byJTwo Good Women. The “hello” girls at the Jasper County Telephone central office are to be the guests at a turkey dinner Thursday of Mrs. Ed Oliver and Mrs. Cook at the Rensselaer House. Two big turkeys and everything that goes to make up a complete Thanksgiving dinner will adorn the table and the girls are expected to eat until they are almost “too full for utterance.” Three former telephone operators have generously offered their services between the hours of 11:30 and 1 o’clock and this will enable the eleven girls employed at the exchange to eat their dinners all at the same time. We might suggest on behalf of the girls that it would be charitable not to make many calls during the noon hour. Put off the calls until after 1 o’clock if possible.
