Artificial Ice Plant Lost Money at Kentland Last Year.

Kentland Enterprise. Roy Campbell, superintendent in charge of the Interstate Public Service Co., informs us that the artificial ice plant at this place will not be started up this spring, but that ice from the company's plant at Lebanon or from some 'other point, would be shipped in to supply Kentland. The local plant, Mr. Campbell states, was operated at a loss last season owing to the fact that the early spring and .late fall demand was not sufficient to permit operating the plant at its full capacity. It is probable that during the summer months when the demand for ice is at full tide the local plant may be run for a time.

VICTIMS OF RHEUMATISM

p, F.. Fendig’s No-Cure No-Pay Offer Attracts Many Sufferers to Test Rheuma. If Rheuma, the wonderful prescription for rheumatism sold by B. F. Fendig and all druggists, does not cure any purchaser, the druggist will return your money without any red tape. Rheumatism is a dangerous disease, because of its shifting nature it often strikes the heart and proves fatal. Any one with even a taint of rheumatism ought to drive it out as soon as possible. * Rheumatism is caused by sluggish, worn-out or over-worked kidneys, which become clogged and fail to eliminate the impurities from the system. Rheuma acts promptly and directly upon the kidneys. It cleanses them. It absolutely renovates and leaves, them in perfect condition, able to do the work nature intended they should do. 50 cents a bottle. *

May Wed While Fighting.

The French senate has just passed a bill permitting French soldiers who are fighting to wed without being present at the ceremony. All that is required of the soldier is to present a written declaration of his desire to wed and the consent of the woman. In case the husband is killed the wife will enjoy the civil rights of inheritance they would have had if the husband had lived.

U. S. Submarine Trapped.

The American Wasp F-4 has been discovered 800 feet under the sea. The submarine is trapped and attempts to bring the vessel to the surface were unavailing. No signal bells have been heard from the craft and fear is expressed for the safety of the occupants. The men are in no danger of suffocation for 24 hours providing nothing goes wrong with the air apparatus of the craft. The craft lacks food supplies. Fears are entertained that the tanks have bursted, suffocating the crew with sulphuric acid.

George Marvin to Prosecute Attorney on Paternity Charge.

The sensation caused in Monticello, Lafayette, Logansport and more or less all over the state by the charge preferred by Miss Mae Shigley, of West Lafayette, against Howard Brockway, prosecuting attorney of White and Carroll counties, was the chief topic 'of conversation where he was well known all day Thursday. The girl’s act in turning the baby over to him at Logansport and his frantic efforts to dispose of jt caused a predicament that excited much attention. Brockway employed Kit Sills, of Monticello, and one or two other lawyers to defend him against the charge of paternity, protesting that he was innocent. Prominent ladies .at Logansport, however, accepted the girl’s charge as true and a prominent woman took the tired mother and her 13-day-old babe to her home, where it has been showered with presents. < It developed during the day that Brockway had paid $lO toward the girl’s hospital bill at Ft. Wayne and persons who were taking the girl's part asked why, if he was innocent, he would have gone to Logansport to meet her and whw he would have taken the baby with him to Delphi. Judge Wason, of Delphi, appointed George Marvin, a well known attorney of Monticello, to prosecute Brockway on a charge of paternity. Brockway’s attorneys sent him to the home of his mother in Lafayette .and told him to remain there until they sent for him. Some of the young man’s friends contend that he is absolutely innocent and that the girl simply picked on him because of her infatuation for him. If this is the case, he certainly is receiving a lot of unfavorable notoriety. He is the son of Dri C. T. Brockway, who died in Brooks ton some two years ago and his mother now* lives in Lafayette. He has a toother, Dr. Jesse Brockway, in Lafayette. They are greatly humiliated by the disgrace.

Lafayette Detective Found Chalmers Elopers in Minnesota.

Wm. W. Weinhardt, head of the Weinhardt Secret Service bureau, Lafayette, and Harvey Rogers, of Chalmers, left Monday for St. James, Minn., where Mr. Weinhardt had located Mr. Rogers’ daughter, Bessie, 16 years old, and her lover, George Luck, 19 years old. The couple eloped from the Rogers home on the night of February 28, while a party was in progress. It was a rather romantic elopement. The pair before leaving cut the telephone wires leading from the Rogers home, and then the girl’s clothes were placed in the automobile. It is Mr. Rogers' intention, if the young coupel are married and doing well, to leave them in contentment. But if he finds otherwise, he will bring his youthful daughter home.

Getting Boys and Girls Clubs Under Headway.

County Superintendent Lamson and Prof. J. H. Harper, of Purdue, had three busy days this week among the schools of the county. They were getting things started for the Boys’ and Girls’ Corn Clubs and they found considerable enthusiasm. The rivalry this year should be much greater than last, when the dry weather discouraged many of the members. Indications are that more will enter the com contest than last year, thus making the possibility greater for excellent results. Prof. Harper and Mr. Lamson started in at Remington Tuesday morning, held a meeting there and then went to Jordan township, then to Rensselaer, Parr, Hanging Grove, Gillam, Tefft, Kersey, Kniman, Wheatfield and finished at Barkley Thursday afternoon. At the Barkley meeting there were 97 present and at all the meetings there was the greatest enthusiasm evidenced. The clubs are important in the education of the boys and girls and every parent should encourage the children in the work. They will get ideas that will be of great assistance to them throughout life and which may be coined into dollars from the very beginning. Give the boy a patch, of ground and he may show you up before the year is over. If there was ever a movement that needed the cooperation of the parents it is the boys and girls clubs in the country schools.

Friends of Bride Gave Two Showers in Her Honor.

Two miscellaneous showers were given for Mrs. John Harmon, nee Miss Alice Swim, this week. The first was given by the telephone operators at the central office on Tuesday evening and a luncheon was served in the office of the telephone company and a very pleasant time spent. Mrs. Harmon received a number of nice presents. On Thursday evening about thirty friends attended a shower given at the home of the bride’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. Allen Swim, and many nice presents were left and the evening most agreeably spent. The Central Garage has displayed a big sign in front of its building and there can be no mistake in locating that place of business. The .letters are 3 feet in height and * a clear gothic type that can be read a long distance away. Harve Robinson, the moving picture operator, is the artist, and he is as good a sign writer as there is in this part of Hoosierdom.

“Movie” Manager Acquitted of Violating Sunday Closing Law.

Elkhart, Ind., March 23.—A jury today acquitted Clifford Cole, manager of a moving picture show, of a violation of the Sunday closing law on the tenth ballot. The early ballots stood four for conviction and eight acquittal. A large crowd was in the city court room yesterday, to hear the arguments in the case. Attorney P. L. Turner, for the defense, said he would prove that “such a picture show as was presented at the theatre on the date named was not a violation of the spirit of the socalled Sunday law.”.
