ENTERTAINED IN HONOR OF LOCAL YOUNG LADY

The home of Miss Dorothy and Addison Robinson on Sims Street, was the scene of a very pretty Leap Year dancing party on Wednesday evening, the girls of the Ka-na-O club and a few friends being guests, there being about 14 couples present. The affair was given in honor of Miss Luella Robinson, of Rensselaer, Ind., who is a guest of- her cousins here. Three spacious rooms, decorated in blue and orange, were opened for dancing and music furnished by two pieces. Blue balloons floating from the chandeliers ®Td from other parts of the room gave the place a very festive appearance. Little Jennie Robinson and Norma Gartley presided over a little table in the dining room and served the guests frappe and wafers throughout the evening. Toward midnight the host and hostess provided the guests with an abundance of ribbon confetti and merriment was at its height. This was one of the most successful social affairs of the season.—The Dickison (N. D.) Press.

WIDOW GIVEN $6,000 VERDICT

MRS HATTIE ARNOTT AWARDED DAMAGES AGAINST . r PANHANDLE R. R. • Mrs. Hattie Arnott was .given a verdict of $6,000 against tne Pittsburg, Chicago, Cincinnati and St. Louis railroad in the Porter circuit court at LaPorte last week, the case resulting from the death of her husband, Will Arnott, who was a mail- clerk in the employ of the government on one of the defendant’s trains. Mrs. Arriott brought suit for SIO,OOO following the death of her husband, the complaint air leging that her husband's death was due to acute pneumonia,. contracted by reason of inadequate heat in the mail car. Mr. Arnott’s death occurred December 27, 1915. The car in which Mr. Arnott was workipg was set on a siding for several hours and was without heating facilities. Mr. Arnott completed his run the following day at noon and was very ill at the time. He died the following morning at seven o’clock. The case was turned over to tne jury at three o’clock in the afternoon and the verdict was brought in half an hdur later. The case was first tried in 1916, but, due to an #rror on the part of the judge in instructing the jury at that time, the defendant was granted a new trial. The first trial resulted .in a verdict of $6,000 for the plaintiff. It is thought the defendant will not again ask for .a new trial. The Arnotfs were residents of Crown Point when Mr. Arnotvs death occurred, but the widow and her family are now residents of this city. . '■)

THREE MEN FOR EVERY FIVE JOBS

Chicago, Dec. 10. —A surplus of three men for every five jobs exists in the middle west according to emSloyment agencies, railroads and reorts received here today. Railroads have laid off several thousand men in the last three weeks, shopmen being principally affected. Chicago and northwestern shops here, more than 500 men have been laid off within the last two weeks. With the job surplus employers have also started to cut wages. Reports from Ohio, Indiana and other middle western states show that out of 1,292 plants, 176 have reduced wages since Sept. 1, while 102 others are hiring at lower wages. Of this same number 739 have laid off 200,000 meh. Employment agencies which closed their doors this summer because they were unable to find applicants are now being rushed with business. The shortage of domestic help and office boys they say has collapsed. There are more house maids on hand now than are needed. Charles J/ Boyd, superintendent of the state free employment bureau, said there are 160 job seekers for every 100 jobs at the bureau’s disposal.
