WEEKLYCOURIER BEN ED. DOANE, Publisher. JASPER INDIANA Turkey Is learning that It never jpays to be behind the times. . There should be a movement startpd for the conservation of aviators. A few life sentences ought to remove kidnaping from tho list of pasttimes. In the beginning woman might have been a man's rib, but today sho Is his backbone. Russia last year exported 2.99S.00O.000 eggs, proving that tho great American hen has a rival. Men's fall clothing Is to bo cut scant, but tho price will hardly follow tie example. TTr ia whnro thn man who knows how to cure a cold can try the lnfalllbio remedy on himself. Though an aeronaut may go up to meet a snowstorm most of us are willing to wait for It to come down. Cautious persons will beware of riding In aeroplanes and Turkish war vessels until more time has elapsed. New York feels that It has too many apartment houses, but It certainly is not glutted tage3. with vino covered cotThe Portuguese revolutionists uso automobiles to get Manuel his throne. Kingdoms no longer are traded for horses. A bite from a Chicago dog has killed a Chicago boy, who was worth more than all tho unmuzzled dogs In Chicago. Since tho duke of the Abruzzl ha3 become such a popular hero in Italy they ought to let him marry the girl, he wants. Enthusiastic fly swatters should avoid disciplining their children unnecessarily Just to keep In trim lor next season. That school for brides to be Is perhaps the right idea, but will it not deprive the dears of the Joy of finding out for them3elvcs? Tho Chicago man who offered 60 cents to have a marriage engagement broken is Just another ono of those Windy City profligates. These new counterfeit $10 bills may drive an exasperated populace Into accepting only twenties, fifties and hundreds for their day's work. A woman In New York hammered a nail In her shoe with a loaded shell, and yet we talk of the accidents which happen to unfortunate people. A California woman buried a Ehe thought was her husband, then her own old; man camo back, will be more careful next time. men and Sho A New Jersey undertaker, who is running for office, uses his hearse In bis campaign. Ho takes an odd way to show that ho Is not a dead one. The ancient device of blaming everything on the woman has. by the gallantry of modern times, been softened down to accusations of her bobble skirt. One of our correspondents wants to know If she Is too old at twenty-two to take up the study of music Sho Is about twenty-two years too old to attack some of the popular songs with satisfactory results. A Boston woman of eighty-four has been winning prizes for both farm nnd art exhibits at a country fair. This shows that energy and determination are among the Ingredients, at least, of the draught producing perpetual youth. The air serpent has been discovered hy en aeronaut whom It attacked. It Is described by Its tcrrllled victim as a long, green monster, with huge wings. After this the sea serpent will seem but a mild domestic pet. Another suggestion of the discovery will be for airships to have water wagon attachments by way of precaution. The American eagle has good cause to scream as he points with pride to one American young woman of wealth who has refused to wed high and nooks titles, preferring to return from tho conquest or the European title market to bring up her young son as a good and loyal American. Perhaps her course may Induce other young American women to follow her sensible and patriotic example. A Pennsylvania molder has Invent ed a Bteel of remarkable hardness suitable among other things for a superior article of armorplato. Next wo will hear of tho projectile man who will invent a shell to pierce It. And bo tho war game ever goes on. There Is much medical wonder over a man In Minnesota who survived having n cut in his heart sewed up. Yet a broken heart, all know. Is such un easy hurt to remedy that tho medical profession science docs not even regard It as worthy of attention,

Hospital Site Selected. The liobert W. Long hospital, made possible by a gift to Indiana university by Doctor and Mrs. Long of Indianapolis, will bo built on the site In Military park originally sot aside for it by the 1911 general assembly. At a mooting of tho board of trustees of tho university, hold at the DenJeon hotel, Indianapolis, a resolution was adopted in which the trustoos voted to obtain plans Immediately for the proposed building. Tho action was tnkon by the board after an all day sossion. during which tho hospltnl quostion was practically the only topic' of discussion. Doctor Long appeared bofore tho board, and n number of other physicians, who arc interested In the completion of tho Long hospital, wore present at various tlmos during the day. The action of the board was summed up In tho following resolution, adoptod at tho meeting and given out after tho session: The trustees of Indiana uulvcrslty have realized tho extreme need for constructing the Robert W. Long hospital at the oarllost possible timo. They have boen strongly urged to this course by the membors of the medical faculty.

Gives Tip on Egg Buying. H. E. llarnard, chief chemist for the state board of health, said many Indianapolis" housowivos were paying from eight to ten cents more for ogga sold as "fresh country eggs" than they would need to pay for cold storage eggs, and were getting eggs not so good as the storage products. "The eggs now being sold for country eggs contain many which were stored by farmers' wives during tho summer In salt, sawdust or in cold cellars, and may be called preserved eggs. They are not so good as tho cold storage egg, which has been stored under proper conditions by dealers who know how." Mr. Barnard spent a few hours ct the city market, where ho found a number of violations of the law regulations the placarding of cold storage eggs. The law provides the placards shall be printed in letters not loss than two Inches in height, and tho wrapper or bag in which the eggs are delivered must be marked "cold storage" Most of the placards In use, ho found, were made by using a lead pencil on pasteboard, and were placed so as to attract as little attention as possible. The dealers were warned to comply with the law. The inspection was the first since storage eggs wero put on the market under the new law. Some of the eggs were marked "Candled April Eggs." or "April Eggs." tho marking not meeting the requirements of the law. Board Names Two Agents. The board of state charities at Ita annual meeting at the statehouse an nounced the appointments of Miss Eleanor Foster of Evansvllle and Mrs. Adelaide Storey of Columbus as agents. Mrs. Storey succeeds Miss Leila Thomas, who recently resigned. Governor Marshall spent the day with the boardlistening to the reports of officers.

Ninety-two children were placed during the quarter. Disapproves Vacation Plan. Charles A. Creathouse, state superintendent of public Instruction, has been receiving numerous letters relative to the law passed by the 1911 general assembly, which nllowed teachers to have three days of vacation with pay at the time of teachers' meetings. One Inquiry asserts that tho teachers of a certain county are planning to dismiss schools Thursday, December 20, though the teachers' meetings are not scheduled until after Christmas. Mr. Grcathouse has expressed his disapproval of such a plan. Important Tax Decision. The state board of accounts, following an onactmcnt of the recent general u8Kerably providing for local option elections and for tho payment of various township trustees' ofllco expenses from the township fund, has Issued nn opinion to the effect that the tax to provide such fund may properly be spread over the property situated In nn Incorporated town or city lying wholly or In part within tho township.
