The new Standard Oil man at Roselawn was here Monday morning with a brand-new tank mounted on a Ford truck. The pickle crop is advancing very fast and will begin to be brought to the market the last of this or the first of next week. Health is still good with us, and the weather is just about as warm as ever, both night and day, and corn is now growing by jumps. Tom Johnson’s soldier boy George came home a few days ago on a ten day’s furlough? He is now stationed at Syracuse, New York. Aunt Hanna Culp went with Bert Warne last Sunday to Lee to see her only brother David who poorly. ' They are the only ones left of a large family, Lillie Ethel Yeoman of Hanna came Thursday to visit her uncle, A. M Bringle, a Week or so. She will also visit her uncle, William Bringle, at Rensselaer. John Lakin of Parr, who runs a huxster route over toward Morocco, was off his run Wednesday on account of his “Lizzie” getting tired and laying down on him, but with all his coaxing and praying it would not budge. Lou Moffitt, who is taking training at Fort Benjamin Harrison, came up Saturday on a couple of days’ leave of absence to make a short call on his “best” and relatives. He returned Sunday evening. Firman Thompson is surely taking the lead in these parts as a progressive farmer. He has a caterpillar tractor on his farm (the same we mentioned last week) with which he draws two binders to cut his grain. They cut something over twenty acres in less than eight hours. He has a very large acreage of small grain this year and rt is very good.

Mr. and Mrs. Louis Shirer of Rerisselaer visited friends here and his brother at Valparaiso Sunday. Mr. Shirer is now a full-fledged grandpa and if he steps high and long you will know the reason thereof. ' Yes, a democrat has a perfect right to run his car clear through

his garage if he pleases. If he fails to push the end out he is liable to a fine. Only Republicans can run their cars the ditch on the public highways. Supervisor Kearns is preparing to put in a new bridge over the ditch east of Zadoc. Although passable for all of the smaller vehicles, it is not strong enough to hold up the threshing outfits that will be circulating in their orbit in a few days. Louis and John Misch and Charles Hewett attended the < Kniman club meeting last Thursday evening and reported a big crowd present and a dandy program. A play was given by members of one of the Marion township clubs that was up-to-date and speaks well for the social side of the farmers’ clubs. Kniman has outgrown the school house and in order to accommodate the large attendance, holds its meetings in the school yard. This is the history of a number of the clubs, namely, a healthy growth. Like the Wheatfield club, they have a ladies’ quartet that can surely sing and which is rapidly developing into one of the best units of singers in the county. Here’s to the ladies’ quartets of the farmers’ clubs, may they always be in the front rank. Dr. Fyfe, who will be given a commission .as first lieutenant in the medical branch of the army, will soon be called to the military training camp. Other of our boys will sooner or later take their places in the great military system of the republic to battle for the principles of democracy. With all those going from this place goes the best wishes of those at home, but we reach out over the boundary line of township, county and state and say: “The army and navy forever. three cheers for the Red, White and Blue.’’ When they fight under the Red, White and Blue they are under a banner that never was carried on an errand of aggression but always in defense of justice and liberty. It has never been lowered to a foe nor trailed in the dust by an enemy. Lt represents a living principle. The Wheatfield Farmers’ club held another excellent meeting at the school house Fridays evening. Beside local talent, a few from other clubs gave short talks that were greatly appreciated. We invite them to help again. The address by Mrs. Murray of the Gillam club on the conservation of food was well received. Walter Peer of the Kniman club gave us a short address on farm management, and we want him to help agam. P. R. Blue, who is an authority on the early history of the Kankakee valley and who wrote a series of articies for a few of the papers of the county a few years ago on the above subject, gave us. a synoptigal iddress on the development of northern Jasper that was greatly appreciated. The ladies’ quartet sang a few songs that were surely fine and we wish to congratulate them on their success.

When distributed about upon the floor, table or other level surface, within two or three feet of each other, they immediately begin traveling toward a common center, and there lie huddled like a lot of eggs in a nest. A single stone, re, moved to a distance of three and a half feet, on being released at once started off with wonderful and somewhat comical celerity to join its fellows; taken away four or five feet it remains motionless. Thq cause of these stones rolling together is doubtless to be found in the material of which they are composed, which appears to be loadstone or magnetic iron ore. During a recent period of the mass movement toward Christianity in India, the Christian population increased at the rate of 5,000 a month.
