.U" By Rev. Lauda at Tent Meeting— |f.

Thinks Prophecies Are Being'3% Fulfilled at This Time.

""The present generation is the list generation that will ever live upon this earth," was the declara-tion-of Evangelist Lauda'in his sermon on the "Signs of Christ's Coming" at the Evangelical and Medical Gospel tent last night.

Taking for his text Luke 21:25-27, ""And there shall be signs in the sun and in the moon and in the stars for the powers of heaven shall l)'e shaken and then shall they see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory," he stated that the time which the prophecies indicated that the sun and moon should be darkened, was exactly fulfilled on May 19, 1780, and that the falling of the stars in 1833 •was witnessed by the same generation which will still be living when •Christ comes.

Mr. Lauda said in part" '"Before the flood destroyed the •earth, Noah preached to the .people about it 120 years. Eight persons believed his message and escaped, •while the rest of the earth's inhabitants perished. Jesus said: 'As the •days of Noah were, so shall als the -coming of the Son of Man be." When the Lord was about to destroy the wicked city of Sodom, He sent •messages to warn the*people. But ibec-ause of- their unbelief, the -yarning seemed to them as one that mocked. Three persons believed— XiOt and his two daughters. They were saved, but all the rest in the -city perished. Said our Savior: 'As it was in the days of Lot even thus shalt it be in the day when the Son of Man is revealed.' Certainly then, when the coming of Christ and the destruction of the whole vorld is near, God will not have the people in ignorance of the event. "The great meteoric shower which -occurred on November 13, 1833, covered a considerable portion of the earth's surface and was witnessed fry many people who are living today. Although it took place 80 years ago, yet by the sure word of prophecy of wrhich it is a fulfillment, we know that this generation shall not pass away until all these things lie fulfilled."

Explanation of Case.

The item which appeared in the Greenfield papers recently, in Circuit Court news, in regard to the case of Welling vs. Elliott, et al., was misleading. The case was never submitted to trial, ,but was amicably settled outside, of court by compromise. This statement is made in order that there may be no misunderstanding in regard to the matter among our friends. We thoroughly appreciate the kindness of our many friends who were interested in our welfare in the matter.

SUNDAY LONGEST DAY OF YEAR

I* -.iv hs

SUN ON THE JOB 15 HOURS— ENTRANCE OF SUMMER—-"' THE DAYS WILL GET

SHORTER NOW.

Sunday was the longest day of the year. There was more daylight than there will be any other day this year, as the sun was'on the job exactly fifteen hours. June 21 is the longest day in the year as is proved by all almanacs.

Beginning Monday, the days will gradually get shorter. Only a few minutes will be cut off the sun's schedule at first, but nevertheless the shorter day will be noticeable. Sunday was also the official entrance of summer. Many are wondering what can be expected in summer if the hot weather we have had came in the spring.

RULED AGAINST NEW UOII

County Superintendent Found New Maxwell School Site Too Near a Breeding Barn.

County Superintendent, George J. Richman, rendered his decision Friday morning in the matter of the petition of Trustee Abram W. Frost for a change in the location of the Maxwell school building. Mr. Frost purchased ground of Mr. Henry? adjoining the old school grounds and petitioned to be allowed to locate the new school building to be built on the site. The hearing was had several days ago before the county superintendent, when some objected to the new site on the allegation that it was too near a breeding barn and on other grounds. In Mr. Richman's decision, he held that the new site was less than 500 feet of the breeding barn. The statute provide that a school site must not be less than 500 feet from a railroad or breeding barn, and Mr. Richman's decision puts the proposed new site at Maxwell under the ban of this statute.

It's Easy to Tell.

A town woman who has visited and "entertained" a good deal says that when there is a grease spot on the table cloth and the hostess is not put out about it, that means the guest is becoming an old story. When there area lot of grease spots and the hostess does not even notice them, it is time for the guest to gather her things together and begin to pack. When the hostess, who has been elegantly polite to members of the family, begins to scold the children and wrangle with her husband before the company, it's time to order the baggage wagon, and should the hostess complain before her guest of the expense of entertaining, that the washerwoman is about to leave on account of increased wash and declare she will have no more desserts with such a big family, that settles it.

Col. W. I. Burnside and wife reWednesday from Illinois and Western Indiana, says the corn in those localities is looking fairly good for a dry season. They have no oats this year and grass, both meadows and pasture, are failures. There will be no hay. Wheat and rye are good, and will make better than an average crop. Fruit of all kinds is scarce, except blackberries, which may make a good crop if rain comes. People there have already begun to feed their live stock on account of the scarcity of grass.

Dr. Noble Elsbury has two tickets issued to his grandfather, the late Amos Gambrel, by the Hancock Agricultural Society back in tlie 70's. One of the tickets was issued in 1873 and the other in 1875.

In Memory of Anton F. Rabe. Again the reaper of death has entered our home, this time taking our dear husband and father.

Anton Frederick Rabe, second son of Anton and Christine Rabe, was born November 22, 1841, in Indianapolis, and departed this life June 4, 1914, aged 72 years, 7 months and 12 days. When he was three years of age, his parents moved to a farm in Hancock county, near Cumberland. He received his education in the common schools of Cumberland and on the 4th of May, 1856, he was confirmed and joined the German church at Cumberland, where he remained a faithful member. When the Civil war broke out and the call for volunteers came, he was among the first to' go, and on August 4, 1862, he left his loved ones and enlisted in Company D, 79th Indiana volunteers. He was in a number of hard fought battles, but never left his lines until the close of* the war, when, 011 June 7th, 1865, he was honorably discharged and then came home, a true soldier boy in blue, to see his loved ones he had left 34 months before. Anton, as he was generally known, then went to work as a farm hand for one of his neighbors, when he became acquainted with Anna M. Kuhnes, then a girl just from Germany, and on October 31st, 1872, he and Miss Kuhnes were united in marriage at the place where they both worked and then went to housekeeping on the farm, now owned by them. To this union were born 13 children, seven having died in infancy, and six, with their mother, survive him.

Mr. Rabe's health began to fail him some two months ago, when it was found that he suffered with Bright's disease, and all that loving hands and helpful doctors could do could not relieve his suffering. He fully realized that the end was near, and he made all arrangements for his funeral and then patiently he waited for the higher summons. He patiently and bravely bore his sufferings, never complaining about anything that was done for him, until on June 4th, he peacefully went to sleep, to awake in a better world.

Mr. Rabe was never so busy that he would not help those in need, and never was there one turned hungry from his door. He will be greatly missed by his neighbors and friends. He leaves to mourn his departure, his deeply bereaved wife and six children, namely: Anion H. Rabe, Mrs. Chris. Kleman, Mrs. Oscar Kappler, Mrs. Ezra Wooten, August H. and Bertha F. Rabe, yet at home one brother, Charles F. Rabe, and one sister, Mrs. Louise Mattox, of Carlsbad, Texas one sister, Mrs. Christine Ruschaupt, of Dundee, Texas, and finally, five grandchildren and many friends.

"A precious one from us has gone, A voice we loved is still, A place is vacant in our home,

Which never can be filled."

Funeral services were held at the M. E. church at Philadelphia, at 10:30 a. m., June 7th, attended by a large concourse of sympathetic relatives and friends. Rev. Meyers, of the G. E. Z. church, of New Palestine, officiating. 19d-lw-l (Advertisement)

EXPORTS AND IMPORTS.

Trade of Canada and Share Thereof With the United States.

Washington, D. C., June 15.—Canada is now a "billion dollar country," its aggregate imports and exports of merchandise in 1913 having been 1,095 million dollars, against 977 million in 1912. Its trade has,

however, undergone some contraction in more recent months, a fact which is clearly reflected in the official statistics of merchandisemoving between Canada and th© United States during April, compiled by the Bureau of Foreign and De~ mestic Commerce, Department of Commerce.

Iu the calendar year 1913 Canada's imports of merchandise were 659 million dollars in value, while her exports were 436 million, imports thus averaging 55 million and exports 36 million dollars per month. Canadian imports, however aresharply declining from month to month, the total having been 68 million dollars in March. 1913, 61 million in May, 58 million in August, 50 million in November, and 38Ms million in February, 1914, the smallest total shown in any month within the last two years. Exports of domestic products from Canada during October, November and December last, following the passageof the American tariff law now in force, rose to about 57 million dollars per month, '-but in January, 1914, had fallen to 25 million, and in February to less than 21 million. The temporary bulge in the Octo-, ber-December period reflected the* unusually large shipments to the United States of flaxseed, hides, and printing paper, and of cattle, cream and other foodstuffs transferred to the free list by the above-mentioned law, effective on and after October 4th, tost.

American goods represented, in the fiscal year 1913, 65 per cent of the entire imports of Canada, while the markets of the United States absorbed 39Mj per cent of the Canadian products sold in foreign countries. A year ago we were selling Canada over four times as much as webought from her, while we are now selling a little more than twice as much as we buy in our trade with the Dominion.

Particulars with respect to the kinds and quantities of merchandise exported to Canada during April and the 10 months ended with April are not yet available, but the March figure afforded a reliable basis as to the present trend of trade. During the nine months ended with March we imported from Canada 210,481 head of cattle, compared with 26,018 head in the corresponding period a year earlier. Similar comparisons give the fol-, lowing results: 2,738 head of horses, as against 1,206 3 millon pounds ofcombing wool, as against 193,000, pounds 398 million pounds of wood pulp, as against 370 million 6V2 million bushels of flaxseed, against 2 2-3 million 398 million pounds of printing paper for books and newspapers, against 193 million 140/ thousand tons of iron ore, against 99 thousand 3% million pounds of calf and kip skins, against 3 million 3 million pounds of sheepskins, against 1 1-3 million 746 thousand tons of bituminous coal, against 1 million 24 million pounds of copper in ore, against 25 million 24 million pounds of copper in pigs,^" ingots, etc., against 27 million 1 million dollars' worth of undressed* furs, against 1 2-3 million furs,coal and copper being the only ar-r tides in the list showing decreased^ imports in the period ended withMarch, 1914, when compared witlv a like period of the preceding fiscal year.

The articles -exported to Canada-

from the United States are too numerous for enumeration wilhin the limits of a brief discussion. Repsentative items, however, include', agricultural implements, 2 1-3 million dollars, compared with 4^4 mil-^ lion in the 9 months of 1913 cattle,s5,526 head, against 2,554 last year corn, 3V million bushels, against 7 million wheat,, 2 1-3 milliom bushels, against three-quarters of ac million automobiles, 2,687, against C9* 4,919, Canada being a marked ex-- j***4 cepfion to the rule of increased ex-^/l^ ports in this line passenger andSfc?/^ re a 4 on a against 4 million coal, 12^4 millions^ tons, against, i2lA million: cotton cloth, 15 million yards, against 20 million locomotives, 72, against 118 steel rails, 102 thousand tons, against-86 thousand tin plates, 50 million pounds, against 79 million boots and shoes, 1,223,197 pairs, against 1,158,213 ba^on and hams, 12V2 million pounds, against nearly^ 10 million and wood manufactur- 5 ers, 94Vt million dollars, against 11*4 million.-
