NEW BARN BLOWN DOWN NEAR PARR

Barn Erected Last Year on One of Firman Thompson’s Farms— Killed Two Head of Cattle. . ■ . .. - x... • •* A new barn, 30x50 feet, erected last year on the Firman Thompson farm, west of Parr, was blown down this Friday morning and one cow killed and another so badly injured that it was put to death, several others were more or less injured and two or three head of hogs were also killed. The barn went down at about 7 o’clock. John Schultz, who works on the farm, was just driving the cattle into the barnlot when the wind struck the barn and toppled it over. John himself had a close call from being badly injured. Emmet Hopkins is the farm tenant. At Parr there was some damage .from the wind storm. The cupola was blown off the church and severaj small sheds are reported to have been blown over. Telephone communication was destroyed and dnly meager reports could be procured. The telephone service has been badly crippled, as also have the telegraph lines. Poles are broken off and bent over and many wires are down. The Monon wires were in such bad shape that it was impossible to keep in touch with the trains. No. 32, due here at 10:12, got in at about 11:20. • Windmills have been hard hit and small sheds and outbuildings have been turned over.

Working Girls’ Home to Be Built at Hammond.

A public spirited movement, having for its object the establishment of a working girls’ home, for at least 125 girls, has been started among Hammond manufacturers who expect to spend $40,000 in the philanthropic undertaking. Hammond employers feel that responsibility for their employes extends beyond the daily working hours, and have come to the conclusion that their moral obligation could be best paid by providing a real home for a girl, where her salary could more than make both ends meet, and where the best influences would dominate. It is believed this plan will remove some of the causes that contribute to the delinquency df girls. It is proposed to provide each girl with a room of her own which shall be furnished with every convenience; to provide at least four parlors in which the girls can entertain their friends and to devote part of the building to dining rdbms. *

Girls will be expected to pay three dollars a week for their rooms and meals. A matron will have charge of the home and she will have the assistance of a sufficient number of servants to take care of all ‘the routine work.

Thus far the plans provide to keep the institution Independent of the Y. M. C. A. or any of the other national organizations. Among the manufacturing companies Interested are the W. B. Conkey Company, the F. S. Betz Company, the Reid-Murdock Company, the Enterprise Bed Company, the Hammond Knitting Works, the Interstate Transfer and Storage Company, Kaufman & Wolf, and other employers of girls. These men and others expect to raise all the money necessary without calling on the general public for support.

Athletic Contest Between H. S. Literary Societies.

Two hard fought basketball games took place at the high school gymnasium Thursday night, when the quintettes of the Lincoln and Webster literary societies had what was planned to have been the last game of the season. The fact that the boys’ game resulted in a tie, however, caused Principal Dean to announce that the game would be played off later. The teams were keyed up to a high pitch of effort and it required the greatest watchfulness on the part of Profs. Dean and Sharp to prevent roughness, but they called all fouls and enforced the rules of sportsmanship by ordering bne. each side out of the game for roughness. At the end of the second half the score stood 15 to 15 and it was agreed to play five minutes more. Each. 6 side succeeded in throwing one basket from fpul during this time and the score was again a tie and*'Mr. Dean decided that it would be played off at a later data The Webster team of girls defeated the Lincoln team by the score of 6 to 4 in a game that w:w very interesting.

Apple Commission May Hold Two Shows This Year

It ft probable the Indiana apple show commission will decide in the future to hold two separate exhibits, one in the northern part of the state, either at South Bend or Ft. Wayne, and one in the southern part of the state, probably at West Baden. While nothing definite has been done, the feeling that there should be two shows, .instead of one at a central location, has been caused by the demands from the cities in the northern and southern parts, of the state and the fact that the attendance at the shows in Indianapolis the last two yearSydid not come up to expectations. v There will be a meeting of the commission Monday, at which time the proposition of holding two exhibits instead of one will be taken up. If the commission makes the change, both exhibits will probably be held in November, the show at West Baden being held first.

Equinoctial Storm Arrived Promptly on Schedule Time.

. Elias Colbert, a veteran observer of weather conditions and an astronomer of note, who lives in Chi- . cago, states that it was 18 minutes and 2 seconds past 11 o’clock Thursday night, March 20th, when the sun crossed the line on its journey from the south. “Nawsty” weather is generally supposed to occur at about this time, although frequently the storms are a week or more away from the exact time of the equinox. But this storm hit us right on the dot. There was a co|d wind Thursday evening, rain and wind at night, and wind and snow in the morning. The high winds have done more or less damage, breaking out window lights and twisting limbs from trees. Quite a number of pieces of stone from the decorations qh the court house were.broken loose and fell to the ground. A popular almanac forecasts a cold spell dating from today, with temperature nearing the freezing point as far south as Oklahoma, Tennessee and northern Georgia. But the cold wave is to be short lived and beginning with the 22nd it will moderate and balmy south and southwest winds are to blow over the states of the middle west.
