James J. Corbett arrived in Chicago yesterday on his way to California, where he is to give suggestions to James J. Jeffries regarding his coming meeting with "Mistah" Johnson.

will arrive today to be the guests for a few days of Mr. and Mrs. E. N. Canine. Mr. Canine was formerly superintendent of schools at Flora, and during his term of office there Mr. Todd was principal of the schools and is now superintendent. Mrs. Fred Zerlar was the guest of
honor yesterday at a 4 o'clock tea, glv- j en by Mrs. Peter Stirling, at her home on Magoun avenue. The affair was a farewell reception to Mrs. Zerlar, who, with her family, will leave tomorrow for their new home at Grand Haven, Mich., where Mr. Zerlar ' has purchased a farm. About fourteen ladies were present, but Mrs. Stirling was disappointed in that so few of the members of the Lady Maccabees attended as she had invited and prepared for the whole lodge. A splendid time was enJoyed by all those who were there. Mrs. Bertha Spencer of Waveland, Ind., a sister of E. X. Canine, is visiting at the Canine .home, on Baring avenue. The party of excursionists who boarded Matt Sternberg's launch Saturday for a trip down the canal and Calumet to Riverdale, were the victims of the changed weather conditions. Mrs. A. T. Cox was the promoter of the trip, and when the pleasure seekers boarded the craft at the South Bay hotel the sun was shining brightly and everyone of the dozen voyagers anticipated a delightful afternoon. But by the time they had reached the point where the dredges are at work the rain overtook them and they were invited aboard the dredge, where they found shelter. The afternoon was not wholly wasted, however, as they found much to inteerst "GLVm In "watching the' big sand sucker do its work.

"That's where you've got me," was
the prompt response. I don't know.
There's no reason for jealousy. I won't conflict in any way with Choynskt
or Berger. If at any time it becomes apparent that I am not entirely in the picture I have the privilege of staying away from the camp. Jeffries really
doesn't need my services as far as that is concerned."
"How do you figure it out that way?"
I asked.
"Well, I have had a few sessions with
Mr. Jeffries myself," said Mr. Corbett,
"and I have read with keen interest reports of his condition."

no regular pugilistic champion Just
playing a part in a piece called "After Dark:" presented .under the direction of our high brow friend, William A.
Brady. Asked to speak a line or two in the piece, bo as to make his first stage work distinctly legal, Corbett fell down. He forgot his lines. After the performance the mayor and the chief of police of Cincinnati congratulated him on the excellence of his. sparring exhibition and suggested that he recover the use of his voice, so as to make the exhibition entirely legal. "By the way, Mr. Corbett," remarked
John H. Havlln, who was at the time manager of the theater in which the embryo champion was playing, and who has since become interested in a hundred other theaters, "do you think you would have a chance against John L. Sullivan?" Mr. Sullivan was then heavyweight champion.) "Mr. Havlin," answered Mr. Corbett,
after a pause, "I shall never challenge
Sullivan. I-think it would be an un
popular move on my part. But some day he may challenge me, and, if. he
does, I'll accept the challenge and I
will win."
Sullivan did challenge the "California
upstart," and the result is a matter of
history.

THE INTERESTING TIMES' At ALWAYS DENOTES THE INTERESTING
STORE.
(A lady came into my store lately and said : '"I have been using a New Perfection Oil Cook-Stove all winter in my apartment. I want one now for my summer home. I think these oil stoves are wonderful. If only women knew what a
comfort they are, they would all nave one. I spoke about my stovo to a Jot of my friends, and they were astonished. They thought that there was Bmell and smoke from an oil stOve, and that it heated a room just like any other stove. I told them of my experience, and one after another they got one, and now, not one of them would give hers up for five times its cost.' " The lady who said this bad thought an oil stove jvas all right for quickly heating milk for a baby, or boiling a kettle of water, or to make coffee quickly in the morning, but she never dreamed of using it for difficult or heavy cooking. How she knows. Do you really appreciate what a New Perfection Oil Cook-Stove means to you T No more coal to carry, no more coming to tha dinner table so tired out that you cant eat. lust light a Perfection Stove and immediately the heat from an intense blue flame shoots up to thS bottom of pot, kettle or oven. But the room isn't heated. There is no smoke, no smell, no outaide heat, no drudgery in tha kitchen where one of these stoves is used.
Decoration day, respectively.
The two teams scheduled to play next
Sunday and Monday have clased with
some of the fast semi-pro teams this season and both have a good record. Hammond's defeat, which came after thirteen innings of play last Sunday,
gave the crowd an idea of what kind of a game the locals could play, and a much larger-crowd is expected at the games next week.
On Decoration day Manager Ketchell
has arranged to decorate the diamond
with colored players, and the Royal
Giants have been picked to oppose the
locals. The largest crowd that has
witnessed a game this season Is ex
pected to gather at the local ball park
tory for the winning team has been
made in the last inning. The Hamvl
rnonds won the first two games by excellent playing in the last Innings, and went down to defeat last Sunday in the third game of the season In the
thirteenth inning.
The diamond is in fine shape and the
advertising signs on the fence will soon occupy the entire space. Grass seed will be planted along the infield
lines back to the stands and in the out
field. The work is expected to begin
this week.

INDIANIANS have awakened widely io the extraordinary opportunity offered them in the preferred stock issue' by the Dodge Manufacturing Company of Mishawaka. The issue bids fair to be far over-subscribed. This will mean that these preferred shares will command a premium. For rarely is one given a chance to share in the profits of so great an industry without &bsaming any responsibility with no loss possible. Your Income Non-Taxable Whether you only have a few hundred dollars saved, or have tens of thousands at com- ' mand, investment in shares in this issue will secure you an assured income. ' Upon your income there can be no taxes j under the laws of the State of Indiana. That you can incur no liability in the company's affairs is guaranteed under the ironbound terms of the stock contract filed with the Secretary of State of Indiana. Holders of the common stock assume all liability, pay all taxes. Holders of the preferred stock have no liability, pay no taxes yet draw 6 dividends No dividends, under the contract, can be paid on common stock .until the preferred stock dividends have been paid in full. Nor -can any payment ever be madefonvcommon stock principal until the preferred stock has been fully liquidated. - - Payments of dividends on the preferred stock begin from the date of the certificates. They are semi-annual, payable January 1st and July 1st. The stock is not listed there is no element of speculation. There can be no risk. The Absolute Certainty Most men today will understand that the name of the Dodge Company guarantees the ' absolute certainty of the investment. The Company manufactures everything for the mechanical transmission of power. The capital stock is $1,000,000. The surplus and reserves total $1,167,852. The preferred stock issue authorized is $1,500,000. The shares are $100 each. Ten thousand share s, or $1,000,000 worth of stoc, are now to be sold. We ca point here to only a few of the features that; certify the matchless security. The Dodge Growth The growth of this great industry makes one of the most interesting chapters of the Nation's business history. From a cradle in an old frame mill 31 years ago, the Dodge Company has expanded to cover about nineteen acres of floor space today. It employs more than 1200 operatives.
The real estate and plant are worth nearly a million and a half dollars. The company never has had an unprofitable year. Year by year the business has grown more profitable. Last year was the greatest year of all partly due to general adoption of the Dodge Line by mill and factory partly to a national educational advertising campaign. The demand for the Dodge Line is permanent. What the road-bed is to the railway, Dodge Transmission appliances are to the manufacturer. The Company's present earning power is. such that it can pay 10' dividend on its capital stock after providing for interest on the preferred stock and making proper allowance for depreciation and for addition to the surplus account. ? The Company transacts more than $2,000,000 annual business. Undoubtedly factory enlargements will enable it to reach the three million dollar mark. The present preferred stock issue is another step in the growth, the increased prosperity of the business. Greater working capital and further exten- . sions and improvements to the plant will result. These are needed in meeting the overwhelming demand for the Dodge Line. Net Assets $2 for $1 This is a unique feature. According to the conditions of the stock contract, the net assets with Bills and Accounts Payable deducted shall always be in excess of double the amount of outstanding preferred stock. Net assets of two dollars for one must be on hand at all times. There are now on hand $3,000,000 worth of assets. And every dollar of assets is a LIVE 'dollar.' No dead material. No useless ' machinery. All earning profits. ' Even the Good Will of the Dodge Company is not included in the statement of assets. Yet the Good Will, according to the usual way of computation, according to accepted financial practice, is worth millions of dollars. We have so much faith in this investment that we have given it our public and unqualified approval. The people of Indiana have never had an opportunity to excel this. We want every Indianian of large or small means to investigate. Get the Complete Facts """ A complete statement has been prepared, telling all the facts boat this hsae. It gives the interesting history of the L?e4ge Company. Yon are shown how the average annual income ef the Dodge Company is more than $240, 000 more than tout times the amount required to pay dividends on tha preferred stock. We urge yon to get this statement. To see how, of the $2,500,000 of profit earned by this company, two million dollars have been put back in the plant and basinets. Write as, or call today for the Complete Statement of Facts.
