NEIGHBORHOOD AT EASE.

The neighborhood of Five Points in this city has again assumed normal conditions. Much uneasiness and anxiety was manifested by the neighbors of Van Wood, who lives in the central point of Five Points, when last summer he erected a small building on his lot. It looked like a garage, but there was no | way to know the, purpose to which the edifice was to be dedicated. I Speculation and rumors ran riot. • The neighborhood was kept in a constant bedlum. Time has solved this as it does all other momentous and seemingly unsolvable problems. The building ■ that might have been used- as a ' rendezvous for the I. W. W. or the hearthstone for the beginning of a new devout religiousesect has been quietly and peacefully occupied by one of the family of the great Henry Ford. Tin Lizzie is now the tenant o fthe mysterious building, which seemed destined to go down in history and literature along side of “Sleepy Hollow” or “Tail Holt.”

TO DEDICATE HONOR ROLL.

The local lodge of Knights .of Pythias will, on .Tuesday evening, October 28, hold a service in honor of the local knights who took part in the great war. At this service the honor roll of the lodge will be ’ dedicated. There will be a program and refreshments. All knights are urged' to participate in this evening’s service in honor of our soldier boys.

A CRITIC

is nothing more than a chronic fault finder who ain’t afraid of getting licked. It was easy to pick the individual stars in the Watseka game, but we won’t mention any names for fear of slacking their pace. It is easy to spoil a yotfng athlete. Let me say frankly, there is room for much improvement as a team and if they do improve by Saturday Logansport won’t dirty their goal Iine.—SPECTATOR..

NAVY RELEASES SUGAR SUPPLIES.

Washington, Oct. 21.—Advised that the navy department has in reserve 9,000,000 pounds of sugar, : Secretary Daniels* today intimated that he would release one-third of the stock, or 3,000,000 pounds, for public use to relieve the situation | resulting from the nation-wide shortage of the commodity. I The present supply of the navy, Secretary Daniels said, was sufficient for “Six months. As only a three months’ surplus usually is kept on hand, Mr. Daniels indicated it would be unjust to retain more than that amount now when the. entire country is experiencing a shortage. . The war department, however, unlike the navy, found today - that its supply was running low, the supply being estimated as barely sufficient to last until December 1. Quartermaster General Rogers wired all supply officers that sales of sugar to any person in the service must be limited to not more than six pounds per month and to not more than 24 pounds per month for each family. Secretary Daniels also said he had sent a message to all ships and stations of the navy calling for strict economy in the use of sugar, as wastefulness by the navy even of 'its, abundant supply, would not only be unpardonable but would reflect ■ discredit upon the navy itself.

CHRISTIAN CHURCH CONVENTION CLOSES.

The international convention of the Christian churches dosed at Cincinnati, 0., Monday night. Rev. and Mrs. W. T. Barbre returned to Rensselaer Tuesday morning. The pastor reports .* an epochal making * convention and believes the nine-teen-hundred-nineteen convention is to mark the beginning of a new era for this church. At this convention practically all of the missionary and benevolent agencies of the church were unified into one great organization to be known as the United Christian Missionary society, which will carry on the major portion of the missionary and benevolent work of the church at home and abroad. The societies forming the merged society were the Foreign Christian Missionary society, Hie Christian Woman’s Board of Missions, the American Christian Missionary society, the Board of Church Extension, the Board of Ministerial Relief and the National Benevolent association. The American Temperance board will come in later, but the board of education will be independent and co-operate with this organization. The purpose of the unification is greater efficiency and

to avoid over-lapping and waste. The convention was addressed by many very able preachers of the Christian church and other communions. Rev. Edgar Dewitt Jones, Bloomington, 111., who is considered one of America’s most eloquent preachers, was chairman of the convention and gave the president’s address on '‘The Old Evangel and the New Era.” Rev. S. Earl Taylor, general secretary oi the interchurch world movement, and the chairman of the centenary movement of the Methodist Episcopal church, addressed the meeting on “The Inter-Church World Movement,” and on Sunday evening Music Hall, seating nearly ten thousand people, was packed to hear an address by Daniel Poling, associate president of the United Society of Christian Endeavor, who spoke on “The Call of the New Crusade,** which was 7 a jalea ySor Christian u On Sunday afternoon, in order to accommodate . the large audiences, three large auditoriums were used in which the communion service was held. Between twelve and fifteen thousand people partook of the Lord’s supper in these places. This was the most impressive service of the convention.

The business of the convention was conducted at the afternoon session on Saturday, at which Rev. Raphael Miller, Kansas City, Mo., was elected president. Rev. Miller is one of the youngest men ever honored with this position, which was due to his popularity as one of the leaders of the recent men and millions movement. He is probably one of the highest salaried ministers in America of his age. Many very important and forward-looking resolutions were adopted by the convention. Some of the movements endorsed were the inter-church world movement, the united budget campaign for missions and benevolences, and the early adoption of the league of nations. Two resolutions affecting the local church were heartily and unanimously adopted urging all ministers salaries be raised from twenty-five per cent for those receiving fifteen hundred dollars or less to ten per cent for those receiving three thousand and over. The other urged that a campaign be conducted among the churches urging all those that do not now own residences for their ministers to make early plans for the building of one. The _place of meeting for next year was not determined at this meeting, but will be announced later.

HAMMOND IS NOW SAID TO BE SEAT OF I. W. W.

Evidence that the I. W. W. promoters, who were frightened out of Gary and East Chicago by the combined efforts of the military authorities and the heads of lobar organizations, have transferred their activities to Hammond, is shown by the large amount of literature found in that city. Quantities of I. W. W. papers were scattered at different places in the city Sunday night and many citizens found leaflets on their porches yesterday morning. The leaflet headed, “Will You Unite?” is declared to be an effort to take advantage of the organization of Labor and to persuade the men who have already affiliated with unions to switch their allegiance to the I. W. W. It declares that the American Federation of Labor never will be able to defeht the steel trust, because the trust is one big organization, while the steel workers fighting the trust are really twenty-four different organizations “shot through and demoralized with dissention.” After referring to the efforts of “the silly American Federation of Labor” as futile and hinting that 1 they probably would be “peddled by' Gompers before it was over,” the workers are urged to save themselves by organizing correctly and joining the I. W. W. The literature is said to have been obtained from the Chicago headquarters of the I. W. W. . -_■ ... . i

WOULD ABOLISH THE MERIT SYSTEM.

New York, Oct. il.—Abolition of examinations and merit marks as means of inducing children to study ■was urged at the international conference of woman physicians today by Miss Grace Fulmer, formerly assistant superintendent of schools in Los Angeles. Education should appeal to the child as a form of play, she said. During a discussion in which several speakers termed the whole educational system of the United States as faulty because the child is regarded as a miniature adult, Dr. Wilfrid Lay, of New York, said the same methods of instruction were in vogue now as two centuries ago. “The child is just as different from the adult as the caterpillar from the moth,” she said, “and it to' no wonder that those who are trying to train children as if they Were adults are so poorly paid. 'Tailure to grasp the mental situation of the child has placed our schools in the position of attempting to feed children fried books or baked knowledge in the same way they are given fried potatoes. It to a system of cramming rather than of the actual needs of the child.”
