Looking Through Smoked Glasses or Blame Adam and Eve Elbert Hubbard once said that “Man has a great many troubles—but most of them never happen.” The coming year is going to be the most prosperous you have ever had. It is going to be the most prosperous we have ever had. We make these statements in spite of calamity howlers, overall brigades, panic pessimists, and electionyear bogymen. This is a mighty good country in which to live after all. To be sure, prices seem high and there is a shortage of production. But nothing will happen. That is, nothing will happen to us individually unless we all get frightened collectively. If we all learn to smile and fight, nothing can stop us. This country isn’t going to the bow-wows. It’s too big and too prosperous and has too much at stake to let everything go to smash. The truth is, only those looking for trouble will find it. The man who minds his business will have a business to mind. The man who is chicken livered and yellow-hearted may frighten his business to death, but the man with a straight spine, a clear head and a stout heart is going to be bigger and richer than ever. If you don’t like to do business under the present conditions blame Adam and Eve. Don t blame the Democrats or the Republicans, or the H. C. of L. — or your wife, or the hired hands. This is the time for sanity—not for calamity. The country needs more lions and fewer rabbits. There is absolutely nothing wrong with this country. It is healthy physically and sound financially, and if you do not prosper more this year than ever before it will merely be the result of fear—wrong thinking. The men who build successfully are never bears, grumblers or pessimists, or don’t lopk through smoked glasses. Let your vision be clear —your mind active, and your backbone stiff.

Mildred and myself will go soon by boat to there from Seattle.” Will Bahler claims the belt for champion fisherman of this vicinity.

Uncle Jim Green came near “getting his” the other day when one of the toy engines on the apology bumped him off the track. In crossing the track he mistook the course of the engine thinking it was on the main track and thought he was entirely out of its way. But it happened to be on the siding and he was not quite clear of it. He was knocked down and badly bruised and considerable damage done to one arm, but he escaped serious injury by a mighty slim margin.

ALLEGED AUTO THIEVES JAILED

(Continued from Page One)

Starke County Democrat is of inter-* est: > On Tuesday of last week Sheriff Rodgers was visited by the marshal from Culver and Jesse Menser in search of the latter’s Ford touring car, which had been stolen from Plymouth on Saturday night before, They had been informed that the car had been brought on Monday to the home of Mrs. Simon Beauchamp, southwest of Brems, by some Ora boys, one of whom was a nephew of Mrs. Beauchamp, and left there in a shed. Armed with a search warrant from Squire Rogers’s court, they went to the farm and there found the stolen car. They came back to Knox and had warrants issued for Lester Manis, age 17; Murle Casper, age 22, and Henry Hineman, age 19, the boys who had brought the car and left it there; The officers then returned to the farm to await the arrival of the boys, whom they believed would return in a short time for the car. The officers only had to wait an hour before the lads arrived in another car, which is also thought to be a stolen one. (This was the Cooper car.) The officers were in the house awaiting their arrival and planning for their capture. As soon as the ,boys arrived they went to the shed and investigated the stolen car. Of course, they missed the suit cases which Sheriff Rodgers had removed to the house, planning in this manner to draw the boys to ths house and possibly separate them from each other. After a consultation among themselves young Manis came to the door and founded around until Mrs. Beauchamp let him in. Immediately he was . covered, searched and led into another room. A wicked gun and knife were taken from him, also SSO in money. The other men waited for him to return and were laughing and talking continually, not knowing

what had happened and not suspecting they were being watched. After some little time they, too, started for the house but for some reason did not enter but rather turned and started back. Sheriff Rodgers fearing that they might suspect that he and the others were at hand opened the door and called to them to come in, he wanted to talk to them. They refused to come and he at once covered them with his gun and ordered “Hands up.” Hineman ymnediately obeyed, but Casper waited for the second and more determined order, which he quickly obeyed. They, too, were searched by the Culver marshal and. Sheriff Rodgers and were relieved of their guns, knives and money, Casper having SBO while Hineman had only $1.25. They were brought to Knox and on Wednesday taken to Plymouth. In the stolen car was found nine new tubes and other automobile accessories which led the officials to think that the thieves had done more or less stealing before this. It is thought that Hineman was not with the other boys when this car was stolen, but that he came to take it to Chicago and there dispose of it as he may have done before. The officials believe this may account for the difference in the amount of money each had. One can readily see the trend of thought they had in disposing of their stolen cars, if they are all or part of a band of car thieves. And had it not been for some one accidentally overhearing a conservation wherein this Stolen car and the storing of this car as Brems were mentioned their guilt perhaps would not have been known for some time to come. Sheriff Rodgers deserves much credit for the work he did in this matter and the risk he took that the. culprits might be brought to justice. On Friday the boys were given a preliminary hearing at Plymouth. Attorney W. J. Reed appeared for them and was successful in getting them released. However, in a very short time, they were again arrested by the Culver marshal and on Sunday were taken to Kentland by the sheriff of Newton county.
