Another freak of nature has been reported up near Wheatfield—a three-legged calf on the Clark Bros, farm. The animal seemed in perfect health at all times and was able to get ’around with little difficulty, notwithstanding the entire absence of one fore leg. The calf was sold last week to a butcher at Wheatfield. " . Every patriotic but peace-loving American citizen will pray that the complications which are certain to arise between our country and Germany over the latter’s announced policy of resuming a relentless subsea warfare on all ocean traffic may not plunge us into war with alj the sacrifices and horrors attendant thereto. It is very evident that Germany is in worse straits even than generally believed or she would not take this stand and thereby estrange the only real friend she has among the neutral powers.

HERE THERE and EVERYWHERE

Gary’s accidental deaths during 1916 exceeded the number in any city of -the same size in the United States, according to a report by Dr. J. A. Graham, coroner of Lake county, which shows a total of 439 cases. Twenty thousands barrels of potatoes awaiting shipment in a railroad storehouse near Houlton, Maine, were destroyed by fire Tuesday. The owners estimated the loss at SIOO,OOO, a conservative figure, they said, in view of the present high price of the product. & '■ "J ~ ' Fire of unknown origin destroyed the home of John W. Scott of near Bass Lake, Starke county, last Friday afternoon and with it were burned his two motherless children, a daughter aged 4 and a son aged 2, while the father had gone with a load of wood to thp lake, about 1 % miles from the home.

Harry ,L. Barton, a teaming contractor and known as the "poor man’s friend,” has announced his candidacy for the Progressive nomination for mayor of Gary, and says that if elected he will ask the Gary newspapers to select his cabinet. Barton will not fight the steel company or the saloons, but is dead against gamblers and commercialized vice. Lafayette’s two breweries, Thieme & Wagner and the Bohrer Brewing company, have seen the handwriting on the wall and both concerns are making arrangements to manufacture soft drinks when the state goes dry. Thieme & Wagner have already put a small quantity of their new drink on the market and they are spending considerable money in advertising it. The Bohrer, Brewing company will manufacture ginger ale.

The Gazette is not satisfied with the easy style of the Lafayette police. Absolutely no notice has been taken of the disappearance of John W. Wyrwpsz, though he was last seen in that city in an altercation with a saloonkeeper. No charge is made against anyone, but many in Oxford want the matter cleared up. Is it possible as well known ’ man as John Wyrwosz can disappear absolutely and no effort be made by the police to know why or how he has gone.—Oxford Gazette.

TO CLEAN CURTAINS

Certain Methods Must Be Adhered to If It Is to Be Successful. Time is needed to make home cur-tain-cleaning a success. Pins are also needed —and many of them. Clean the curtains in pure soapsuds and then rinse them gently in clear, lukewarm water.. Dry them. Then starch tliem in starch colored to give them their original tone, and then pin them out to dry. If the curtains were originally pure white, blue the starch, rather deeply. This will give the curtains a bluewhite look that they had when fresh. If they are cream-colored use tea In the starch to get the right tone, and if they are deep ecru, use coffee to give the desired color. Dry the curtains ‘on sheets stretched out on a carpet that is tacked down—if you possess such a thing. If not, stretch the sheets out on a heavy rug and pin them into place. Then pin the curtains with the innumerable pins to the sheets. If you have an unused mattress in a sunny room, spread a sheet over it and pin the curtains to that. Then be sure to air the mattress thoroughly, so that any dampness from the curtains will dry thoroughly. The best way to wash curtains is to shake them as nearly free from dust as possible and soak them in a tub half full of tepid water in which half a pound of pure soap has been dissolved. In the morning squeeze them fairly dry and place them in a tub full of very hot water to which a tablespoonful of borax and enough dissolved soap to make a strong suds are added. When they seenuclean, after splashing them about in this water, rinse them thoroughly, until there is no trace of suds or dirt. Then squeeze them gently dry. Let them dry thoroughly on the grass or hang them over a line to dry. Then Starch them.

This Light Fails Not

My friend is constant like that high star, and though distance and days come between us, as do clouds between it and me, I know my friend is still there, shining with the same clear, steady light, and when the distance and days are melted away, I shall find it so. —Leigh Mitchell Hodges.

To Prevent Scallops Tearing

To strengthen and prevent tearing between the scallpps on the neck edge of a child’s dreee, baste fine lawn under the neck to form a yoke. Shape the outside edge of lawn as desired and stitch in place on both edges. Buttonhole scallops through both materials and cut as usual. Featherstitch over stitching on inner edge of yoke and at top of hem. The shape of neck and outline of yoke can be varied in jnany different ways to suit the garment and material. —People’s Home Journal.

Soft Baby Towels

I use two thicknesses of cheesecloth and. crochet or buttonhole around it in pink, blue or white. - These can be made any size desired and are soft and nice for baby’s skin. Wash rags can be made to match.— Contributors
