HERE THERE and EVERYWHERE

Wednesday, May 9, has been set apart as flag- raising day in MononOn that day a new flag will be .flung to the breeze from the top of a sixty-five-foot sycamore pole erected by the Civic Service club. Following an attempt to destroy a carload of oil and waste in the Monon railroad yards at Lafayette last week, officers Of the company has issued orders to the detective department to arrest all persons found trespassing on the right-of-way.--’ ■ : The Ainsworth Seed Co,, which has been conducted at Mason City, Illinois, for several years past, will establish a branch house at Kentland, and contemplate erecting a fine five-story building at the latter place, an exact counterpart of the one now in use at Mason City. The movement for safe and sane Fourths of July will reach its zenith this year, for not one firecracker, pinwheel, torpedo, skyrocket or even a cap pistol will be permitted on sale in New York city. Those who want noise on the Fourth should join the army. . It is quite probable that many cities and towns will follow the lead of New York in this matter.

A big men’s meeting will be held at the United Brethren church in Morocco next Sunday afternoon. May 6, at 2:30 o’clock. James Martin of South Bend, a traveling salesman and well known over the state as “Corn Starch Jim,” has been secured to speak. His address, “Playing the Game,” has been delivered before several T. M. C. A. and other large gatherings and never fails to please. The Brook orchestra will render a thirty-minute concert preceding the address, and a cordial invitation i* extended to all men to be present.
