Tarzan and the Jewels of Opar By Edgar nice is the latest and Burroughs best of those famous Tarzan stories that have thrilled millions |HK* of readers. Tarzan is one of the most uniquecharacters ever created in fiction. He is*a majestic man, a noble beast, an aristocrat in civilization and a King in the Jungle. Tarzan is the dream man most of us would like to be, and when you surrender yourself to the thrill of his exploits in the damp African jungle you are only yielding to the pull of primitive impulses and in imagination are back again in preHistoric times, swinging from tree totreeingloriousabandonthrough the primeval forest or fighting the great cave bear with rude stone weapons. Once you have started this gripping tale, a team of horses couldn’t pull you away from it until the last word is told. ® h OUR NEW Mh SERIAL JU Read It!

By noon the field was narrowed to four— Anderson, Franklin and Hartford City, who drew a bye in the morning round. Jefferson meets Hartford City at two o’clock and the winner of this game will oppose the winner of the three o’clock game to be played between Franklin and Anderson. . Jefferson’s - hard game against Technical in the forenoon round may work to their disadvantage m the Hartford City game in the afternoon, as the latter will have benefited by al rest during the morning. Jefferson H. S., however, looks to be the stronger even with their disadvantage in the schedule, and should win, giving them the right to meet the winner of the Franklin-Anderson contest at eight o’clock this evening. At tins distance it looks as if the Lafayette aggregation and Franklin for the final. Franklin should win easily.

INDIFFERENCE GREATEST PERIL

SAYS GENERAL WOOD IN INDIANAPOLIS ADDRESS THURSDAY. Indianapolis, March 12.—-Ameri-cans were urged to “hold on to those things which have made us what we are, law and order, the rights of property and of government under the constitution” by Major General Leonard Wood, candidate for the republican nomination for president, in an address tonight before the Association of Actual Past Masters of the Scottish Rite, at the order’s cathedral here. The address was the last of three delivered today by General Wood, and the concluding feature of his program in Indianapolis. Impect Ft. Harrison. During the forenoon General Wood visited Fort Benjamin Harrison on an inspection trip and conferred with Indiana republican leaders. His address tonight was on “Americanism.” “There is no special danger m our country,” General Wood said, “from the so-called red element. It is very much exaggerated but still it is here. It is well organised in the large cities. It is sending literature of all kinds all over the country trying to unsettle our people. Down at Gary we found it literally by the ton, all of it inflammatory and dangerous. • Peril Of Indifference. “We want to meet that kind of propaganda by propaganda of our own. We can meet it easily; we can smother it. The danger is not so much from this element of discord, but from our indifference. We have got to wake up. We want to get together and put over the doctrine of sound Americanism.’ General Wood reiterated his advocacy of universal militray training in connection with a small standing army, a system “absolutely without any suggestion of German methods,” and said he favored adoption of the treaty and league of nations covenant with reservations “which completely and thoroughly Americanize it.” He also urged promotion of foreign trade and sale or lease of American shipping to American firms in the establishment of a permanent merchant marine.

JOHNNY PASSES UP THE COMMON FOOD

On the front page of today’s Indianapolis Star appears the picture of General Wood, candidate for the presidency. Elbowing him at the left in the picture is another gentleman who looks a powerfully lot like J. J. Montgomery of this city. We are not saying that it is our Fire Chief who is so close up to Mr. Wood, but if anyone could get so close to a person of such importance, it would De J. J. Montgomery. Mr. Montgomery is the only man who attended the Columbia dub luncheon Friday that ate frog legs, asparagus tips / and strawberries and cream. Jack was the last one to be served and came in for a great deal of kidding,, but nevertheless he was the only one who took notice of the fact that there was something on the bill of fare besides roast beef and pork. Although rear[ed in the country, but possessing (none of the traits of a rube, Jack I knows that a special dinner, something easy to say and oraer, is simply placed on the menu as a rube’s paradise.
