MT. AYR YOUNG MAN HAS FIGHTING CHANCE

Albert Teach, Son of Contractor, Fractured Several Ribs When'll Auto Turned Turtle. Albert Teach, 20 years of age, and son of Frank Teach, the subcontractor for the Mt. Ayr stone roads, Iles yat the point of death at the residence of Ed Harris in Mt. Ayr. It was this young man instead of his father who was Injured in the automobile accident Tuesday. Physicians in attendance think that his chances are limited, although they say that he has done very well so far. Young Teach was taking several workmen to the road Tuesday shortly before noon. They were riding in a Ford automobile and going at a lively speed. Teach went to guide the car around a chuck hole in the road a mile south of Mt. Ayr. The machine swerved and turned entirely over, alighting upside down. The other, men were thrown from the machine but Teach was caught by the steering wheel. Ed Harris, of Mt. Ayr, hastened to the scene of the accident and took the young man' to his home, where a Mt. Ayr physician attended him and called two Rensselaer doctors to assist him. It was found that several ribs, probably six, were broken and had perforated the pleura and the right lung. The air as drawn into the lungs passed through the tissue and into the cavity about- the lungs, causing him to bloat considerably. The ribs were drawn back into place and the outcome of the accident is very uncertain. Young Teach will remain. at the Harris home until there is some chaiige in his condition, and today there seems a somewhat more favorable chance for him to recover.

Hammond Times. Beads of perspiration trickled down the face of Louis E. Legner, marriage license clerk in Chicago Monday afternoon, as a smiling young Gary couple approached the window. “Hariloossitoogeogopulosandeugeneconstandinidou,” said the young man as he mopped his brow. “Yes, I know it’s hot,” responded Mr. Legner. “Now tell me what you want.” Again the young man burst forth • with the same, but he was soop halted by the puzzled clerk. “Start that all over again and give it to me In chunks,” ordered Legner.

President Wilson “doller up” in white duck last Saturday and went out to play golf at the aristocratic Chevychase course. And plain Tom Marshall and common Billy Bryan are wearing plug hats! These are certainly sad sights for us trusting rubes, and go to prove that not even the best of our champeens can withstand the lure of Washington high life—Fort Wayne News. There should be an official investigation of the facts alleged in the above paragraph. If the facts are as alleged the plain pee-pul, meaning us, have been betrayed. There was reason for suspecting that Mr. Wilson was a high brow plute, accustomed to sporting about in white flannels. The plain pee-pul will never forgive him* for. being caught in a bath tub, in the middle of the afternoon, when news of his nomination reached him. But to have jt said that those champions of the plain pee-pul, Tom Marshall and William Jennings Bryan, are wearing silk hats is too much. If the charge made against them is true it will seem that no champion of the pee-pul can stand the acid test and hold true to his preaching against the temptations of Wash-ington-Lafayette Journal.

MONON RAILROAD PuTS ON ANOTHER TRAIN

Passenger Will Leave Chicago at 8 A. M. and Make Round Trip to Michigan City.** The Monon railroad, which has greatly improved its passenger commodations to the traveling public during recent years, is to put on another train on June 29th. It will make daily round trips between Chicago and Michigan Citi by the way of Monon and will make about all local stops, the same as the milk train now does. The schedule of time and stops has not been completed, but will be within a few days. It will leave Chicago at 8 o’clock in the morning and arrive at Monon at 11:30, leaving there at 11:40 and arriving in Michigan City at 1:45. Returning it will leave Michigan City at 3:15, arrive in Monon at 5:25 and leave at 5:50, arriving in Chicago at 9:20 p. m. This will prove a great convenience to the people living along the Monon railroad and who desire to come to Rensselaer Xo trade. It will give Roselawn, Fair Oaks, Parr, Pleasant Ridge, McCoysburg and Lee an additional train each day. It is planned with the starting of this train to reduce the number of stops of Nos. 5 and 6, trains due here at 11:09 and 3:38. It will be necessary, however, for No. 6 or No. No. 38 to make the Fair Oaks and Shelby stops in order that passengers can transfer to the C. & E. I. and C., I. & S. railroads, or otherwise persons coming here from the north part of the county could not get home until the following day.

Rensselaer Lumber Company To Build Storage Plant.

F. M. Donnelly, manager of the Rensselaer Lumber Co., states that his company will this year build an anthracite storage plant of about 500 tons capacity, provided with an elevator for loading and screening. This will prevent the dangers of a coal famine, as the supply will only be drawn from when the coal bins which have been used heretofore are emptied. Mr. Donnelly went to Charlotte, Mich., this Wednesday morning to investigate with the view to purchasing a patent coal conveyor for unloading coal from cars. This will considerably reduce the labor expense and doubtless prove very satisfactory. The storage plant will be erected on the north side of the railroad, just west of the present sheds.

Businessman Says Cigarettes Are Menace to Young Men.

Clarence S. Funk, the new general manager of the Rumley company, of LaPorte, Ind., in an address the other day to a class of young men in applied Christianity, spoke thus to his youthful auditors concern.ing the habit of smoking cigarettes. Coming from a big businessman and former general manager of the International Harvester company, one of the biggest manufacturing concerns in the world, any young man who reads what he says ought to give some deep reflection if he wishes to succeed in a business career and climb the ladder of success to a higher round. About the cigarette, Mr. Funk said: “No young man can be a success in the business world today who is addicted to the cigarette habit. No better way of insuring yourself defeat, lies before the young man today than to become a user of cigarettes. The day Is past when big employers will give serious consideration to the youth from whose lips a cigarette dangles listlessly, and who is continually asking for ‘the making.’ The big businessman of the present will not engage the young men to work for him whose Angers are stained with nicotine from cigarettes. Many bright young fellows who dress well and look clean and neat, apply for positions in big business houses, but the manager can easily see through their appearances and ascertain whether or not they are men of character. Character counts more than anything else in business as well as in other things.”

A Formula of Sanitary Whitewash From Dr. Hurty.

The state board of health is doing everything within reason to assist people in making homes, offices, business places and public buildings sanitary. Just now it is sending out a recipe for whitewash that reads as follows: . Disolve 2 pounds of ordinary glue is 7 pints of water, when all is dissolved add 6 ounces of bichromate of potassium dissolved in a pint of hot water. Stir the mixture up well and then add sufficient whiting to make it up to the usual consistency, and apply with a brush in the ordinary manner as quickly as possible. This dries in a very tfhort time and, by the action of light, becomes converted into a perfectly insoluble water-proof substance, which does not wash off even with hot water, and at the same time does not give rise to mold growth as whitewash made with size often does. It may be colored to any desired shade by the use of a trace of any analine dye or powdered colorings, while by the addition Of a small proportion of calcic sulphite its antiseptic power is much increased. The compound is often referred to as Australian whitewash and is a very cheap and effective preservative, taking the place of the more expensive paints.

Tt is positively a crime t’ be on th’ hummer in th’ twenties century,” declared Miss Tawney Apple in her address before th’ Society Fer th’ Suppression o’ Blind Accordion Players at Melodeon Hall last night. Th’ meetin’ waz held primarily t’ break up th’ checker contests in th’ courthouse yard, an’ t’ drive th’ players int’ th’ channels' o’ usefullness beyond th’ fifteen ball pool zone. Continuin’ fer some length Miss Apple said: ‘Th’ boy that sticks around home after maturity an’ bunches his laundry with father, will gather no moss. Young lady, if you are engaged t’ a young man an’ he is plannin’ t’ live with his folks, return his ring an’ get a job in a cannery till a real producer comes along. Never thorw yourself away on a feller that can’t wait till he’s able t’ support you. No matter how cheerful ai>’ commodious his father’s home may be, sumbuddy’ll alius be in th’ bath tub jlst when you want it. Th’ young man that can’t decide whether he wants t* be a great author er the proprietor o’ a dry cleanin’ establishment’!! never amount t’ anything until that question has beep decided. A boy should be firmly entrenched in an occupation at least a year before his first shave. There’s too many fellers failin’ in love first an’ experimentin’ with work afterward.

“We’re now livin in th’ best period o’ human existence. While meat is high an’ th’ life o’ a tire haint what t should be, it’s worth all it costs t’ even be in th’ gallery in this age o’ mighty achievements. Even if you’re drivin’ a delivery wagon er sewer linin’s in flve-cent hats, It’s worth all th’ attendant privations an’ hardships jlst t’ be able t’ watch th’ conquests o’ th’ air an’ sea an’ earth ‘Th’ world has made more advancement in th’ last century than in all th’ centuries o’ history. Most o’ th’ discoveries an’ inventions date from th’ first appearance o’ th’ Eclipse Kraut Cutter in 1867. Ther are folks here t’night who kin remember when electric curlin’ irons, alfalfa, movin’ pictures, gold teeth, contented farmers, reform waves, toupees, silos, San Jose scale, stenographers, Kiefer pears an’ rouge sticks wuz never dreamed of. With all o’ these discoveries an’ innovations comes th’ golden age o’ opportunity. Ther Is no alibi fer a failure t’day. Even folks that don’t deserve success are succeedin’ fer beyond ther hopes. Th’ call fer feljers that kin deliver th’.goods wuz never so emphatic, an’ th’ demand fer agents that have failed at ever’thing else is th’ greatest in th’ world’s history. It’s a misdemeanor t’ be idle t’day—it’s a felony f whittle. It’s a sin tbe seen leanin’ agin th’ pustoffice corner while th’ cry fer help is distinctly heard above th’ din o’-industry. Don’t wait fer a position, don’t aspire t’ be a agent, but go F work.

“Parents, learn, a lesson from th’ >ald eagle that builds his nest on ;h’ dizzy bights o’ some mountain. If you are harborin' a son that prides himself on bein’ able f roll a cigarette with one hand, an’ who s lyin’ in wait fer somethin’' easy that Just suits him, crowd him out o’ th* parental nest.
