Making the Farm “Beautiful” Is Also an Important Thing.

■' •■N ‘ J Z". ■' - It is just as much in order to make the “farm beautiful” as it is to make the “city beautiful,” and the farmer has every facility for making it so. A spacious lawn, shrubs and trees judiciously planted, flower beds bright with bloom and fragrant with scent are possible for almost everyone who lives in the country.' All that is needed is the disposition and a little taste. And the results repay the effort a thousandfold. The down-at-the- f heels appearance of many farm dwellings and grounds is a reproach to their owners and dwellers. No wonder that boys and girls living in such surroundings, if they have any ambition and taste at all, dislike the farm and leave it the first opportunity.

George Ade Suggests Motor Club for Newton County.

George Ade was in Kentland over Monday night, leaving Tuesday morning for a ten days’ stay at French Lick. , While here Mr. Ade suggested the organization of a Newton County Motor Club. His idea was that such an organization would be profitable to owners of automobiles, in that the members could be kept in closer touch with the opening of new roads, the most desirable routes of travel, and other matters. He also suggested an annual run to some point of interest, and a county picnic in the grove at Hazelden.—Kentland Enterprise.

BANDS OF GYPSIES ARE GREAT MENACE

Recent Disappearance of Little Oiri at New Oastle Places All Rovers Under Suspicion.

Gypsies are a menace that every person should discourage Their begging, fortune telling and trinket selling should not be patronized and officers should see that they are not allowed to camp in the corporation or/near the city. Farmers shotifler watch their property when they pass along the highways or st<fp for a night’s rest. This is the season of the year when they are moving about and large bands are said to be assembled near Sycamore, Ind. It will be only a short time, doubtless, until a band of these rovers will pass through Rensselaer and they will stay a while if given a chance.

On March 29th a band pf gypsies passed through New Castle, Ind., and that day Katherine Winters, 9-year-old daughter of Dr. W. A. Winters, of that city, disappeared. No sure trace of her has been found, but it is believed the gypsies stole her. Five wagons are reported to have passed through New Castle. Officers learned where the gypsies were encamped and went there, but they found no trace of the girl. There were only four wagons, however, and it is presumed the other wagon took another route and thus deceived the officers. Dr. Winters has conducted a constant search since that time and is being given aid by officers "everywhere. A reward of $2,100 has been offered for her return. A Chicago detective believes he has a clew and is sure the child is in the possession of some of the gypsies at Sycamore. The appended appeal from the distracted father gives some idea of the heartache that has been his since his little girl disappeared. He has written: To Whom It May Concern: I have been sustained by the hope that our little girl is alive. Without that hope I do not know how I could have endured these weeks of

THOUGHT SON LOST; FOUND FAST ASLEEP

Little Child of Mr. and Mrs. Elmer Gwip Found Comfortable Bed Under China Closet.

Mrs. Elmer Gwin suffered all the pangs of anguish that comes to a mother when a child is stolen away, when, soon after 7 o’clock Thursday evening she missed her little son, Marion, who was three years old last fall.' Mr. Gwin was working in the country and not at home to share in the anxiety, but many neighbors and friends joined in a search and Col. Fred Phillips announced the loss of the child through a megaphone on the street. Mrs. Gwin was locking the house for the night when suddenly the little boy was missed. She made a hurried search in the house, and not finding him, concluded that he must have stepped out into the yard. She went outside and called and then went entirely around the house. Another search inside and then she became thoroughly alarmed. Neighbors were informed of the unexplained absence and the news spread over town. The officers were notified and a general search was inaugurated. The streets were crowded with people, as it was band concert night, and all were alarmed when the megaphone asked information about the boy. _ It was well after 8 o’clock, when little Gladys Day,, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Hiram Day, .found the little boy fast asleep beneath the china closet, where he had crawled entirely out of sight The distracted mother embraced the little fellow and the many thoughts of gypsies and kidnappers that had enveloped her mind were allayed, but she could appreciate as never before the horrible feeling that comes to a person when a child Is stolen. The happy ending of the mystery brought relief to all, hut the ardor of the first band concert was considerably lessened by the occurrence. ; , 7
