On Sunday afternoon Rev. W. T. Barbre and Mr. and Mrs. Brock drove to Virgie and conducted a service in the mew church at that place. At the close of the sermon four young people responded to the invitation. Next Friday night was designated as “Virgie Night,” when a large delegation from that neighborhood is expected to attend the revival at the Rensselaer Christian church and those who have made the confession will be baptized at that time. Government agents rounded up several thousand leaders of radical organizations in many cities of the country and a large number of them will be deported. Much incendiary literature was seized and docuhients captured showed that a nation-wide .plot was brewing to gain control of the labor organizations and also the reins of the government. Indeed, this is not surprising when one considers the bunch of radicals in the house of congress at Washington. Tho speeches imade by some of our alleged statesmen recently, both on the floor of congress and on the platform throughout the country, have been as vjllianous and radical as any “Red” could possibly p'ut up.

William Hance, a shoemaker, 61 years of age, committed suicide at his home in Camden Thursday by shooting himself with a small calibre rifle. No motive for the deed has been discovered, but the fact that the rifle had been secreted in an outside shed points to a suicidal intention. The body'', was found soon after the New Year’s dinner, which the deceased had taken with his brothers and sistersThe federal trade commission Monday ruled that the selling of sugar in combination with other goods to force purchasers to buy other things in order to obtain sugar was an unfair method of competition and ordered the Cole-Con-rad company of Chicago to cease the practice.

SAFE CROSSINGS IN INDIANA IS PLAN OF COMMISSION.

Indianapolis, Jan. 2.—lndiana railroad and interurban crossings are to be made safer next year. John W. McCardle, vice-chairman of the public service commission, is behind the movement and declares he will make every effort to end the many accidents that have proved fatal to scores of persons in Indiana. “Indiana as a state must do something to make its railroads and inteururban crossings safer,” said Mr. McCardle, "and one of the things I intend to do next year, as soon as possible after the railroads are returned to their owners, is to work out a plan to promote safety at crossings.” ~ . Commissioner McCardle, it is said, has in mind calling of a conference of railroad and interurban men, automobile association, city and county officials to discuss what shall be done about the situation. He believes that a committee can be appointed to recommend the enactment of agreed legislation along this line. Mr. McCardle has been stirred to make some definite action as a result of a survey completed by David E. Mathews, chief railroad inspector for the commission, who. with his assistants, has surveyed every steam railroad crossing in Indiana, numbering more than vIO,OOO. The survey shows that in lOlirJ-rW persons were killed and 124 injured, on these crossings. In 1918, 226 were killed and 294 injured.
