Crawfordsville is to be tlje seat of this year’s annual convention of District B of the State Library association, comprising seventeen cities and towns in this section of the state. The library people will convene March 1, and they will probably meet in the club rooms of the Carnegie library building at Crawfordsville.

Following are the cities and towns in the district: Attica, Boswell, Brook, Clark’s Hill, Crawfordsville, Delphi,. Earl Park, Flora, Fowler, Frankfort, Goodland, Kent-land, Ladoga, Lafayette, Monticello, Remington and Rensselaer. Last year the librarians of this district met at Frankfort and the convention was profitable and pleasant. There are teit districts of the state library association and in these are placed every city and town having a At the convention each year matters pertaining to the general library work throughout the state are discussed, reports heard and papers read. The convention is valuable in helping the librarians all over the state keep abreast of the times in their work, and this, together with the spreading of the usefulness of the library and the knowledge of its advantages is the object of the organization. The president of the association this year is Miss Margaret M. Colerick, of Fort Wayne.

Pilfered Paragraphs.

George Washington may have been the first in the hearts of his countrymen, but the confidence man wants to be the first in their pockets. Some men drink to forget, but few men forget to drink. Jokes on matrimony are funny only to those who are not married. Many a misguided man imagines he is engaged in a game of flirtation until he wakes up some morning and finds himself no longer a bachelor. Our garden spade is beginning to show 7 signs of restlessness. Cleanliness is next to godliness but you can’t go to heaven in a bathtub or on a laundry ticket. For that tired winter feeling read the ads describing the 1916 automobile models. It some times happens that the fellow who is afraid of doing a little more than his salary calls for, doesn’t have any salary to call for. ■ . V' A distinguished professor says that what is called stupidity is siniply the indication' that a certain brain area is not properly nourished or it with--out communication with the nerve fibe. In simpler words, it is a case of nutzenberger. The fact that your great grandfather was a revolutionary soldier, your grandfather a sturdy pioneer ana your father one of the leadingest citizens, is not going to keep the patches from accumulating ,on the seat of your pants if you don’t get out and hustle. The recent sale of the trotting bred stallion, Peter the Great, 2:07%, for $50,000 to Stoughton J. Fletcher, of Indianapolis, calls attention to the fact that the horse has not yet been entirely supplanted by the automobile in the affections of some men. It also puts Indiana back to the top of the column, as Peter the Great is conceded to be the greatest sire of speedy and game race horses, either living or dead. Perhaps You’ve Got It. When you wheeze And you seneze, And you shiver In the breeze, And you shakfc, And you quake J Like a chicken with the pip; When your turn Is on the bum And you’re yearning For the rum, And you’re dizzy— Listen, Lizzie, You are going to have the grip.

Henry Eigelsbach returned from Lafayette yesterday afternoon, leaving his wife at the hospital foY examination; He received a morning informing him that her case was not an operative one and that she would return home this afternoon. The diagnosis disclosed that her trouble is entirely of the stomach Snd.it is believed that it will yield to treatment. ' ■■ Lewis Nichols is in a rather bad condition of health and has been unable to be at his restaurant for several weeks, ». His wife has to remain with him all the time and they are really in need of assistance.

THE REPRESENTATIVE.

Representative W. L. Wood Parr, Indiana.

Representative W. L. Wood, who is seeking to be renominated as representative for Jasper, Newton and Benton counties, has all the qualifications necessary to properly erform the duties of that office. He was bom in Harrison County, Ohio, in the year 1867. Coming from a good family of Scotch descent, he has inherited all the commendable traits of character of his ancestors. In the year 1877 he moved with his parents to Jasper County, Indiana, where he has lived ever £ince. Mr. Wpod has been a republican all his life and in 1914 he was elected joint-representa tive on the republican .ticket for Jasper and White counties, and has filled that office to the entire satisfaction of his constituency. Representative Wood lives on a farm near the Village of Parr, in Jasper County, and has for many years engaged in farming and stock raising. Iu addition to these interests he was engaged in the mercantile and grain business for twenty years. He is a successful business man, a student of law and history, a member of the Jasper County Bar, an enthusiastic Sunday School" worker, and a persistent believer in surrounding the young people with the best environment. He has a wide knowledge of economic questions and is an excellent public speaker. He may well be called a self-made man and has every reason to be proud of the success he has attained in his various undertakings. During the last two years, while representing Jasper and White counties in the general assembly, he was •present at every roll call and voted on every printed bill. His ability and tenacity in fighting for the wants oc his constituency needs no mention here. For the last two years he has made a special study of the road laws of this as well as of other states, and hopes to obtain legislation which will give us better roads at a lesser cost. He believes that local taxpayers are bearing too much of the burden of making and maintaining the roads of our state, which are very widely used by automobiles belonging in other states; he is an advocate of legislation which will bring the state in touch with the national government for the purpose of obtaining an appropriation from the national government to help build and maintain the roads in this state. His experience as a member of the legislature, makes him a capable man to fight for the rights of the people at the next meeting of the General Assembly; for he may always be found on the right side of all moral and economic, que itions.

MEANEST BURGLARY EVER COMMITTED

Manuscripts of Sermons on “Booze” and “Gossip” Stolen From Pastor’s Study. Burglars broke into the Simpson Methodist church at Evansville and stole two favorite sermons of the Rev. W. H. Brightmire, the pastor, on “Booze” and “Gossip.” Several postage stamps and other articles also were taken. The police have no clew. Since his pastorate there the minister has taken a very strong stand againts the liquor traffic and has en countered mujh resentment from certain elements. The sermon on “Booze,” which was taken, was a terrific arraignment of the business and had created a great deal of comment. The discourse on “Gossip” also had attracted attention. The first meeting of the ParentTeachers’ Association of Rensselaer will be held in the high school, March 9th, at 7:30 p. m. Honorable Geo. A. Williams will deliver the address of the evening. A good social program and fine music are being provided. Every parent or friend of the schools should be present.
