Robins Reported Give Hope For Early Spring.

Saw a robin, Heard it sing; Hearts are throbbin’ Tx>ud for spring. ' A young lady this morning reported having sighted a robin, the most highly accredited harbinger of spring and about the same time John Holden repo’ted the presence on Wednesday of two robins. John therefore is not only a day earlier but also reports a double quantity and the combined testimony should establish the spring’s approach so reliably that even the reign of the groundhog, which by virtue of the bright sun of Feb. 2nd allows him full three weeks yet to run, should be ..brought to a close and his hogship deposed for the sake of a winter-tired public. Boys with cracked knuckles have been playing marbles for the past two or three weeks, but this form of forecast has lost cast with the public in recent years because the modern boy often carries a sack of “commies” with him all year round and plays a game wherever there is a bare spot on the ground in the very severest winter weather, but if you are given to respect the reliability of the groundhog then you should fall in fine with the well-meaning robin and become a booster for spring and some early garden sass.

Spring is Coming.

The lads from the lower grades are playing mabrles and the high school boys are playing hooky. Seventeen virile fellows of the high school could not withstand nature’s tempting invitation to be out under the blue dome of heaven instead of the blue atmosphere of the school room and they spent Wednesday afternoon enjoying themselves viewing the beautiful scenery of this city. The game of hooky was played as innocently as the games of marbles by the under grade pupils, but the high school authorities felt that the gambol with nature should be extended until Monday, during which time the parents might bring the boys closer to nature by introducing them to the wood pile and mother’s dinner dishes. This act on the part of the young fellows does not indicate a tendency toward total depravity and we feel that the pedagogues in charge do not so consider* it. Order vour calling cards aera.

Inauguration Will Have All Of the Usual Big Features

The inauguration committee of the Indiana democratic club is sending out advertising matter which is an assurance to all people of Indiana who may contemplate a trip to Washington to attend the inauguration ceremonies, that the trip will be worth while.

Positive assurance has been given that dll of the pomp and circumstance will be present when the inauguration of President Wilson and Vice President Marshall occurs on Monday, March 5. In fact it is planned “to make it more elaborate and patriotic -than any- previous inauguration. It has been figured out that the trip to Washington from Indiana can be made on a total expense that will not exceed sixty dollars.

Now Is the Best Time To Trim Grape Vines

Al 1 persons' who have grape vines and have been thinking of trimming them had better do it now or at least in a' short time, according to Frank St allace, state etymologist. The best time to do this trimming is before the sap swells the buds in the spring and February or March are considered the best months to do the trimming by those who make a success at raising grapes. “The pefsons who have a few vines should prune and care for the vines the same as the ones with an acre or more,” stated Wallace. “As a rule 20 or 30 buds are enough to leave on strong growing varieties.

Fate smiled upon them and their desire was realized. At the time of the assignment, it was occupied by a Mason, Chauncey Wood. These splendid gifts by these excellent people are very greatly appreciated by the hospital trustees and by the public. It is the desire of the trustees that the institution may be so managed that joy and satisfaction may come to those who have so generously contributed to this most worthy enterprise.

Women Picket Movie Show In Protest Against Film

Valparaiso, Ind., Feb 19— About ten days ago Valparaiso clubwomen adopted resolutions protesting against local movie theaters showing such screens as “Purity,” “Race Suicide,” and other of like startling titles. This action was intended to convey a warning to the movie theater managers, but it failed of its purpose. Tuesday clubwomen and their husbands to the number of 100 picketed the streets leading to Schelling’s Music hall, where “Race Suicide” was advertised to be shown, and endeavored to dissuade theater goers from entering. Many women were turned back to their homes, but the advertising given the show by the women proved a big drawing card: for the men folks, and they jammed the. theater to the doors, despite the fact thrt the clubwomen, with note books, took the names of every man known to them and promised to report the matter to wives and other members of their families.
