A STATE HIGHWAY DEPARTMENT

I lit' meetinu- which arc being held throiighou: the state in the in-' tercet of the good roads movement tiiow an increasing conviction that v hat Indiana n- ’s is a highwax departinert*. This was illustrated at ColuniAns one night last week Bartholomew county will be united in its demand that the next legislature form a department, void of »<>litics. and under the management ol trained road builders, who understand the engineering as well as the commercial needs. The Columbus rally was called by ftie Bartholomew County Motor club, for the purpose of organizing a local unit for the 1 ioosier-Dixie Highway association. Indiana's interest in better roads has been greatly stimulated by the thrusting through the state of five great national highways. Considering first the ihter-state roads, and how well these would unite Indiana with all parts of the country, the good roads advocates looked, not unnaturally to Washington fdr federal aid. They were inclined to forget that every road is made up of local links, and that in the building of these links a state may either fail or succeed, according to its machinery. This was the feature that was emphasized at the Columbus meeting by Mr. Duffey, a good roads advocate, who is a Marion county candidate for the general assembly on the Republican ticket. The cause for which he jg working, however, is nonpartisan. “The move for a state highway department,” said Mr. Duffey, “is a simple business matter, it is an effort to correlate and organize the hundreds of separate agencies ,through which our road funds are expended—to the end that our disorganized extravagance may be replaced by economical efficiency in

conducting the largest single bu-i ne* of our Hoosier common wealth;’ While there are hundred? of township agencies for the scattering o road funds, “here are thousands of officials who help to ::.udd • the work. Mr, l»ufl< . places number at 4.560. The support of thengineering depart me nt idea that is appearing at lo al meetings is encouraging. ’’When Indian .' sayMr. Duffey, “lias es’abli.-'• d -»uch a department, and onl,\ then. <an -u' h protects (as those in Bartholomew county') hope to meet with the intelll. geht and efficient cb-operatipn of public officials.“ When the townships and the' counties fully realize that their hope for belter roads rests in engineering centralization and cooperation, then Hrfc establishm- nt ol a state high way depart men- can not be further delayed.—-Indianapolis Newe /■

PLOWING.

By Walt Mason.

I watch the farmer plow; he’s busy at it now ; he deftly tools his .-pan of mules, ami whacks them with a bough. One minute be says. “Geel" Next minute, “Haw’’’ says he: the mules, they haw. and strain and dra w upon the double-1 ree. The plow point strikes a stone; the farmer heaves a groan: and then his'nibs surveys his ribs, to find the broken bone. Then, finding he is whole, he takes a D'-foot pole, and prods the mules, and says. “You fools, such tricks I will not thole!'’ The plowshare does not sconr. and he, tor half an hour, suspends the rules and lams the mules with wondrous vim and power. To turn the furrow o'er it is the oldest chore: man's tilled the earth since Adam's birth, and will forevermore. And ever, as he walks, he pick.-' up clods and rucks, in West and East, to pel- his beast, his horse or mule or ox.

Quaker Quips.

Lots of us spend all our odd moments trying to get even. A fellow naturally has the heart taken out of him when he is in love. A woman is always shy about telling her age. In fact, several years shy. A man isn't always sure of his ground when he takes the word for the deed. Mother Eve was the first woman to announce that she didn't have a thing'to wear. Fortunate is the literary man who can ride in a taxi instead of doing hack work.—Philadelphia Record.

Catarrh Deafness Cannot Be Cured

By local applications, as they , cannot reach the deceased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure catarrhal deafness, and that is bv a constitutional remedy. Catarrhal deafness is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucous linina of the Eustachian tube. When this tube is inflamed yon have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed, deafness is the result. Unless the inflammation can be reduced and this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever. Many cases of deafness are caused by catarrh, which is an inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces. Hall’s Catarrh Cure acts through the blood on the mucous surfaces of the system. We will give one hundred dollars for any case of catarrh deafness that cannot be cured by Hall's Catarrh Cure. Circulars free. At all druggists, 75c.—F. J. CHENEY & CO., Toledo, Ohio.

Centenniel News Notes.

The Perry county pageant, to be presented at Cannelton, Thursday, September 7, the 102 d anniversary of the county’s organization. Is the literary work of County Chairman Thomas James de la Hunt, who will also superintend the production. In theme it consistently follows the accepted pageant idea of “place” as the hero, with “development of community” for plot. Its prologue show s Harrison’s Treaty with the Pianke gnaws, August 27, 1804, incorporating a piece-pipe scene and departure of the Indians. Ten episodes of strictly local color then follow- in order: Arrival of . a typical pioneer family (the Esareys); soldiers leaving for war of 1812; landing of the Lincoln family: Lafayette’s steam boat wreck: training day; founding '> Leopold by Father Bessonies :-■ mt laid of Cannelton cotton i II: site of Tell City purchased ;• Swiss colonization.’ society; Him 5 cavalry invasion ithe first time wh-n y Conf* (j.erate tropi J crossed Mason and bixon’s line > : and a Fourth i-ily in 1 These episod' ar- pia -u in practically every township in the county, and ’he symbolical final shows the spirit of Perry county, with her attendant townships, before whom in processional review passes the entire pageant as < n effective climax. All these inciden’s have been worked out with absolute historic accuracy as t > facts, names and dates; showing wha t may be done or at least approached in almost any county in Indiana. What promises to be the bigg sr and most enthusiastic patriotic organization in Indiana was launched at a recent preliminary meeting in Indianapolis. Its purpose is to foster the right kind of state pride, to co-operate in preserving the history of Indiana, and in general to "create a sort of esprit de corps among loyal Hoosiers.

Slate House, Tipton steps into the centennial spot light again with a new sourc of centennial income. The proprietors of rhe bargain store of that city have just put on a five-day sale during which time they gave 10 per cent o- all seneral receipts to the audi■oriu’ii which is being proposed as Tipton county’s, centennial memorial. The sale was under the auspices of the federated clubs of the ’own. who supplied assistant clerks from their own ranks which lent interest to the sale and gave it much desirable publicity all over the county. It was effective advertising for •he progressive proprietor Of the bargain store and while the returns are not in. a handsome sum was doubtless realized for the auditorium fund.

“Remember one thing: The centennial celebration is no carnival! ” This timely admonition from Chairman E C, Miller of Allen county, anenr the approaching Fort Mayne celebration, should be taken as ;• key note Throughout the state. in referring to insistent promoters of cheap shows, he says: “These clamoring would-be invadors are in’ armed that centennial week will not be marred by the presence* of any ling of a cheap or tawdry nature.

LANGUAGE BARRIERS BREAKING DOWN

The diversity of languages is one of the most remarkable things in the world an effe tuai barrier to prevent mankind from combining for the accomplishment of their own purposes, selfish or sinful. It has delayed the great Day of Wrath. Now’ the language barriers are breaking down, and we find the tendency of humanity to re-unite. Unions and Trusts are being built by the Rich and Poor—each for self protection. Had these barriers been removed two thousand years ago, sln>,itar results would have come too soon, according to the Divine purpose which is shaping Earth's affairs in preparation for Messiah’s Kingdom, which will bless the entire human family. “THE WONDERFUL BIBLE KEYS” written by PASTOR RUSSELL throw a flood of light upon transpiring events.

ST. PETER DELIVERED FROM PRISON

4*t« April 30. Passover Trials and Testings—Death of St. James —St. Peter Imprisoned. His Miraculous Deliverance—An AllNight Prayer-Meeting—The Reward of Faith—Lessons For Our Day—Divine Guardianship of Ail Truly His. "The angel of the Lord cncampeth round about them that fear Him. and delitercth them.”— Pialm 3}:7. nEROD was the family name of several kings who ruled. Israel but who were Edomites. At the time of today’s Study lierod Agrippa I. had been appointed king of Judea. He was the grandson of Herod the Great, murderer of the halves at Bethlehem, and the nephew of. Herod Antipas. who beheaded John, the Baptist and subsequently, with his S'ddierSi set Jesus at naught and mocked II im. just prior to llis crucifixion. Herod Agrippa appears to have been desirous of the goodwill of the people, even at the cost of principle. He took pains to observe the minutiae of Jewish ceremonials. On the lookout

to curry favor, especially with the influential Jews, Agrippa caused the Apostle James to lie beheaded. Finding that the deat h of St. James brought great pleasure to the Jews, he had the Apo -tie Peter arrested. The expression. "\V h eh

he had apprehended him.” implies that some delay occurred— that St. Peter’s arrest was after searching. Probably all of the Apostles were more or less secreted about that time. But. trusting to the sacredness of the Basso.er season. St. Peter had ventured forth an .1 was imprisoned. Agrippa intending Lis death after the Passover week.

We can well imagine the sadness of the Church at this Passover’ season, which must have reminded them considerably of our Lords death. For some years past it has seemed to us as though each Passover season, each Memorial celebration. was a time of special trial and testing amongst the followers of our Lord. Whether this is a fact or not. Surely it will not injure the Lord’s jteople to be especially on guard against the wiles of the Adversary at these times. Let ns watch and pray lest we fall into temptation. St. Peter i,s supposed to have been imprisoned in the famous Castle of Antonia. where our Lord was arraigned before Pilate, and where St- Paul was subsequently taken when mobbed in Jerusalem. The Apostle had a guard of four quaternions—four soldiers each —who relieved each other every three hours. Two of the four were chained to his arms, the third-stood outside the door, and the fourth was stationed in the passage leading to the outer gate. The power of grace Divine to give peace amidst alarms is well illustrated in this cafce by the fact that St. Peter was fast asleep when the angel of the Lord came to deliver him. The proprieties of the case are also illustrated by the fact that the Church were not asleep, but praying for the Apostle. It was not for him to pray for deliver-* ance from Agrippa’s power. For him to have asked for the prolongation of life would have manifested a wilfulness incomputable with a full consecration to God’s will. But with the Church it was different. They could with all proju-iety tell the Lord of their love tor St. Peter, and express the hope that it might be the Divine will that he should continue with them. Between three and six o’clock in the morning St. Peter was awakened by an angel, whose radiant features enabled the Apostle quickly to discern

first and second doors, until they came to the great iron gate leading into the city. This swung open of its own accord; and then the angel left him. Doubtless the angel had started St. Peter in the direction of Mary’s home, where prayer was being made on his behalf. The description of the house implies that it was of the better class. St. Peters knock was answered by Rhoda—little Rose —who was so delighted, when she recognized his voice, that, childlike, she neglected to open the door before running back to tell the praying household that he was at the gate. Some thought that the little maid was mistaken, and insisted that it was his angel—in harmony with the thought that an angel had supervision of each of God's people, and that shell might personate his charge. The brethren were surprised at the Lord's answer to their petition; for it came very unexpectedly as respects time. When they realized that it was St. Peter, there was an outburst of excitement which he was obliged to silence by shaking his hands. Then he narrated the wonderful story of his deliverance. and bade them tell it to the other James, the cousin of Jesus, and other disciples. Then he went his way.
