The; largest barn in Indiana'is being built by W. H. Jones on his 1800acre farm near Dugger. It is to be 365x240 feet. When completed it will hold 400 head of cattle. A carload of telephone poles and three carloads of cement were used in the foundation. SThe silo adjoining the barn is filled with corn from 145 acres, or 200,000 tons of silage. The silo also is said to be the largest in the United States. There were 227 murddrs in Chicago and Cook county. 111., during 1914, the largest number in its history. The next largest number was in 1911 and 1913, when 168 was reached each year. These are the cases that came up for investigation by the coroner of Cook county and Were pronounced murders. Every month during. 1914 shewed an increase in the number of murders, except February, when there were but nine, against twelve for Febluary, 1913. The lobby of the new Fowler hotel is to have a large mural painting of the battle of Tippecanoe! At the south end of the lobby on a wall space ten by forty-two feet, there is to be portrayed the history making encounter between the troops of General William H. Harrison, and the allied In,dian forces under the command of the Miami chief White Leon. With the large space available it will be possible to reproduce the topography of the battle field on an extensive scale. The picture of the celebrated battle will be a big feature of the Fowler hotel and will attract a great deal of attention.—-Tippecanoe County Democrat.

Christian Church Revivals.

The evangelistic meetings at the Christian church were begun last Sunday with three services for the day. Great crowds were in attendance at all the services, and the meeting promises great things for the town. Prof. Altheide, who is leading the chorus and delivering solos, has a good, rich tenor voice, and seems to be at his best in making the chorus sing. He is arranging for some special music by way of duets, trios and quartettes for the remainder of the week. The sermons on Sunday were very practical in their nature, and suggested many things for the people of this city. Last night’s sermon was on the theme, “Sowing Wild Oats.” The speaker said in part: “We must learn to speak in terms that are plain and clear in our day. If a man defrauds a bank or business concern, we say, ‘He misappropriated funds.’ When the truth of the matter is he has stolen, and is a thief. If a man side-steps duty, we say, ‘He has a lapse of memory,’ when the truth ot the whole thing is he has lied. When a young man sins against his God and his own Interests we say, ‘He is sowing his wild oats.’ The fact of the matter is he has lifted the suicidal arm against himself and has sinned.

“Parents say: 'O, he will get over his sowing wild oats some day, let him alone.’ No more false and foolish statement could be made than this. No man is ever so good after his sowing wild oats in life. It leaves its mark in our bodies. We need only look at the man who has been an habitual drunkard He never can be as good a man as he might have been if he had not made a sewer of body.

“Sin leaves its stain on the conscience. When we have reached the ago of gray hairs and tottering frames, we only need touch a secret spring and the whole drama of our lives will be enacted over again. The sins of youth seem but the sins of yesterday when we are old.

“Sin leaves its stain upon the social life. No young man or woman need ever expect to stand high in the estimation of the social life who sows wild oats. The demand today is for clean, wholesome and right character. Young man you can never sow wild oats and reap a golden harvest. Young woman you can’t sow to the winds and reap a harvest that’s desired. Sow to the wind and you reap the whirlwind. Sow the tares and you reap the tares. Sow for God and you reap the things of God.’’ .

Luke McLuke’s Philosophy.

[Cincinnati Enquirer], About one iuan jn each 16,000 is satisfied. The other 9,999 either have too much or not enough. No matter how fast a girl is fleeing from temptation she always pulls up in front of a millinery window. A man who leaves college with A. 8., A.M., LL. 8., LL. M., and a string of other degrees tagged on to hjs feme imagines that he is some big dog. Then he will go and get married and his wife will add the P. p. degree to the list. And P. D. means poor dub. / Every man knows a lot of remedies that he is always recommending to other people but wouldn't think of faking himself. ... A Chicago University hibrow asks: "Can a man he happy alone?” He can, but not if his wife knows it. Every clerk knows that if the boss made the office force undergo an efficiency examination, the clerk would run first and the manager last. Lots of people who wouldn’t work for you for $2 per day are perfectly willing to attend to your business for nothing. What has become of the old-fash-ioned bride who was ashamed of her store hair and hid it from her busband?

A man who bps patience enough to sit down for a year and a halt and color a meerschaum pipe hasn’t patience enough to devote a minute and a half to undressing one of the children at night. Some men are too thin-blooded to work in winter and too thlek-blooded to work in summer. The old-fashioned girl whose face was her fortune now has a daughter who travels on her shape. Common ordinary diseases like smallpox will snuggle up to you without even asking your name. But a high brow disease like kleptomania must know your social status and see your bank account before it will condescend to make your acquaintance. Cheep up! The cost of everything else has gone up, but happiness and Smiles and kind words are as cheap as ever. No matter how far down and out a mdn may be, he can always truthfully brag that there was a time when he rode in his own carriage. When a man wants a new hat he goes into a store for two minutes and comes out with an up-to-date lid on his dome. When a woman wants a new hat she goes Into a store for an hour and tries on all the “creations” and comes out with some up-to-date ideas to use in making over the old lid she is wearing. The fellow who doesn't know enough to write a capital “1” when he is writing about himself always knows enough to use a capital “I” when he is talking about himself. The old-fashioned woman who used to give Castor oil to a sick baby now has a married daughter who gives the Castor oil to a sick fern. If a woman ever did succeed in making herself just like one of the pictures in a fashidli magazine every horse in town would run away if she went out on the street.

After you get to know somd hien you wonder why they do not have holes in the brims of their hats so that their ears will get a chance to grow to their proper length. A man can’t see why the bedbug was ever created. But that is just what a flea thinks about a hairless dbg. A woman can take one look at another woman and tell whether she is a real blonde or a peroxide affair. But a man has to marry her before he can tell the difference.

You can’t tell anything about a woman. She will spend two hours roasting her husband and telling him what a no-Count, two-cent pup he is, until he gets mad and slams the doof and goes out. Then she will sit down and write a long letter to her mother and tell her what a grand man her husband is and how thoughtful and generous he is, and how happy they are.

When one of the children is seriously ill, father will tell mother to go to bed and h.e will stay up. Then fatherj will sit around and read for a few hours and then sneak off to bed. And as soon as mother hears father snoring she will get up and watch the child all night and then prepare breakfast as though nothing had happened. And father will go down town and go around hunting for sympathy by stating that he didn’t get a wink of sleep all night because he had to stay up and nutse a sick child.

There was a time when men wore plumes and sashes and tights on the street. But tp their credit let it be said that their clothes never fastened in the back. Any real boy can wear out three pairs of shoes while he is wearing out one box of shoe polish.

Betcha!

This world would be affine old spot, It surely would improve a lot,’ If we were all as good as we • Advise our fellow men to be.

Why is this institution called the Rockefeller Foundation,” asked the old fogy. “Because it is built ,on John D.’a rocks,” replied the grouch. i ■

'.‘Hello,” said the voice over the phone. “Is this the type foundry?” “Yes,” was the reply. “This is the type foundry.” “Well,” said the voice, “this is Bobbs and Dobbs, the publishers. Will you send us over about 200,000 capital, Us right away?” “What in Sam Hill do you want with 200,000 capital I’s?” “We are setting up noosevelt’s autobiography,” replied the voice.—> Cincinnati Enquirer.
