For some tinif thoso Connected with the Indianapolis track have been almost constantly sskel tf there is to te a revival of the annual speedway classic. Not until Fisher's wire came across was any one in position to sfiy definitely just what trtnd developments would take. vonne mdn. their cooe fellowship, their 1 faithfulness to the task assigned, although they yearned to be at the front with their comrtfes. together with their good humor upon all occasions have made them many friends who will b please,) to barn that they like the community and that they will return to take up permanent employment. Their names are John F. Donahey, Hugh L. Stephenson and Rcw Newlin. THEY WERE BUSY, WERE THESE CHAPS Pickpockets were at work on the street cars in this community again yesterday.

X - , i u " M The devision. it is thought, was greatly influenced by the informal assuran.e that a tno-inile race at the Indianapolis Motor speedway next May could be made an international event in the truest sense of the word. It is a remarkable coincident that most of the countries rej resented in five former SOO-mile races at Indianapolis are today listed among America's allies, and an international sweepstakes in which France. England. Belgium and Ita!y participated with America, at Indianapolis, would be the greatest eicnt !n all gasolene history. "While the authorities connected with the Indianapolis track are non-committal, it is believtd that every effort w ii! be made to remobilize the great aviators of war, such men as si. Eddie Rickenbacker. Caleb Brarg, Kalph DcFalma, rt si., and welcome them back Into the great game with the old traditional and spectacular starting bomb. Anyway here's bow.

Keep a Clear Line IN normal times the telephone comJL pany would not feel called upon to' suggest that its subscribers forego the use of their service in any degree whatever. But these ate days when" intelligent economy must be practiced by all. An unnecessary telephone call is as truly a waste as the unnecessary consumption of a pound of coal or a pound of food. Calls of a purely social character should be made brief. This does not mean that we must be abrupt or brusque, but merely that our conversation should not be prolonged into "visiting." If this practice is followed there will be fewer "busy" reports from the operators.

He killed my mother." Anton called Officer Budich who was near and the officer went to the boy's horn in the rear of 138th and Cedar streets. A fearful sight met his gaze. Eying in pools of blood were a man and a woman, battered snd beaten into insensibility. The floors and walls were spattered with clots of dark red gore. Furniture was smashed and it was evident that there had been a terrific struggle. Near the bodies was a heavy baseball bat. covered with blood and hair. A hasty examination showed that both man and woman were still alive and the officer at once called Dr. Teegarden and both the Sulski and lieGuan ambulances. The doctor came immediately and gave the injured couple first aid. then had them taken to the hospital at. Hammond. As this paper goes to press they are just regaining consciousness. Dr. Teegarden sid at noon that he hopes of saving their lives; that he did not think the injuries had reached any vital parts. The names of the injured are given as Pietro Amelia and Maria Delia.

Harden declares in an interview with the London Express that IVilhelm has no personal part in the war, but he was only a tool of the junkers, that they thought him a coward and feared he would not sign the declaration of war and so sent him to Norway.
