inmates of the institution and, considering the crowded quarters many cells having two and three occupants—it was in a very clean and sanitary condition. AJ)out a year ago Mrs. Leji McCarty left her husband andl two small children and recently she secured a divorce from Mr. McCarty at Huntington this state. From reports it seems that Mr McCarty was not properly notified and no one appearing against her, she was given a divorce and the custody of her child, the youngest one having died after she had left Mr. McCarty. The older child was taken by the charity board and a home secured for it with Mrs. Belle Sayler, as the father could not care for it, the father paying lor its support. Wednesday Deputy Sheriff e. 1). Healy of Huntington, came up with orders from the circuit court at that place to procure the child and give to its mother. However, as the father had not been properly notified, it was hoped that he could have the order of court set aside and the child returned to him, and with that intention Attorney Emmet Laßue accompanied him to Huntington Thursday,

OVER 1,000 DELEGATES TO BE AT LOGANSPORT.

Sunday School. Convention to Be Indiana's Chief Religious Event This Yeair. The most important and largest religious event scheduled in the state this year, is the Indiana State Sunday School convention, to be held at Logansport, June 15, 16 and 17, and it also promises to be the largest meeting this body has held since it was formed 51 years ago. More than 1,000 delegates, representing all the counties of the state will attend, and many counties will send large delegations. The Indiana Sunday school convention is intensely practical in its work. It will not only review the work bf its official organization for the last year, but new state officers will be elected, next year’s work mapped out, and a number of popular sessions will be held which will be addressed by inspirational speakers bf national reputation. More than this, many special conferences will be held for departmental workers, for teachers of Cradle Rolls, Intermediate classes of boys and girls, Bible class teachers, workers in temperance, missions, publicity, and other lines of Sunday school activity. The convention promises to tax the capacity of Logansport. Hundreds of Christian homes in that city will open their doors to the visitors and genuine Hoosier hospitality will prevail. Because of the size of the convention and its length, the delegates have declined to accept the free entertainment which many Logansport people urged upon them, bdt only nominal charges will be made for rooms in the homes where breakfasts will be served, and the

women of the city will serve noon lunches in the phurches. The Christian people of Logansport have for weeks been working out extensive plans for taking carv of the convention and the event will be one of combined Sunday school inspiration and pleasure, including sight-seeing trips in and about the city. The Indiana Sunday School Association will match tho Logansport preparations with a very brilliant program of speakers, music and other features, which will soon be ready for announcement. It is expected that the convention attendance from the Ninth, Tenth, Eleventh and Thirteenth congressional districts will be very heavy. The township Sunday school eon- ' entions will be held in the various townships in this county on May 9, 16 and 23, and the county organization is making plans to send a largo number of delegates to the state meeting.

THE DIFFERENCE Depends on Our Age How We View the Coining of the Circus on Thursday, May 13. Unless tho weather is bad a big crowd will be in town on show day. Dry years, short crops, closed factories and other matters of minor consideration have but little to do with the size of the crowds who go to see the show. r l o those of us who ha ve reached mature years the annual coming of the circus means little more than an hour or two of pleasant diversion Irom the daily routine of business affairs, but to the small children it is a red letter day— —an occasion to be remembered through life. Who does not recall with vivid memory the first circus,they ever saw? The sight of the big and tierce-looking animals, the music of the bands, the funny antics of the clowns and the wonderful acrobatic feats of the gaily dressed performers, all make indelible impressions on the childish mind, and, in their youthful fancy, they are transported to a real wonderland.

For a number of days the children of this vicinity and city have seen the vivid advertisements, where lifesized beasts of the jungle seem ready to spring upon them from every billboard in town, and it goes without saying that if the little, folks had their way about it every other matter would be relegated to th© background on show day. The circus has been condemned by a few people as an evil institution, and one that should not be patronized by Christian people. We have never been able to see it in that light. True there are some features that could be changed so as to exert a better moral influence, but on the other hand there are so many features that are educational. The wild animals, for instance. There would npt be one person in a thousand that would ever see more than the pic-

hires of these animals were it not for the circus. The wonderful acrobatic performances have no doubt encouraged many a youth to greater achievements along physical lines by noting the results obtained oy constant and persistent effort. There may be some objectionable tilings connected with shows, but our sympathies are with the little boy or girl who is compelled to stay at home or in the school room while their associates go to the show and return to relate what they saw, with childish exaggerations, to their less fortunate playmates.--Advt.
