BAR COAL SHIPMENTS.

Philadelphia, Aug. 12.— Shipments of anthracite coal were today ordered discontinued by the anthracite committee of the federal fuel administration to 390 communities in Indiana. All the points affected are small towns and villages. Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Parks and son, Lester, of Colfax township, Newton county, passed through here this morning in their automobile enroute to Indianapolis. Mr. Parks while driving on the road Monday with his threshing outfit went through a culvert breaking an axle on his engine. His son was injured but not seriously. He went to Indianapolis to get the repairs for his engine.

Harrison Casto, who has been preparing himself in the McKillip College, of Chicago, to be a veterinary surgeon, is spending a few days here with friends and relatives. Mr. Casto will give up his college work for the present and expects to go to Frace soon as a nurse.
