~ HOME FROM CALIFORNIA Mr. and Mrs. Geo. G. Scovil Make Long ~ Trip In Ford Car Spending * _ Month on Way . Mr. and Mrs. George G. Scovil arrived last Monday evening. They left Ontario, Calif., four weeks ago last Tuesday morning in a Ford car bound for Ligonier. They visited the grand cannou of Colorado and took in the historic isights, along the way, stopping five days at one ‘place. The Ford was pretty well worn at the end of the ‘long journey.© Mrs. Scovil was very tired but both tourists are in good health. ' o . Mr. Scovil spent a year in California and prospered there, but he has returned to Ligonier to stay. He says
the old town is good enough for him. Mrs. Scovil has but 4 slight acquaintance here. : ‘ - Don't Sell Liberty Bonas! The market price for Likerty Bonds is quite low. Evidently manv ¢Suses of bonds are selling these securities, It they A&ren't compellad by dire necessity to let go their holdings, they are foolish to séll, for the bonds are worth 100 cents on the dollar and will bring that if they are held. In addition, they yleld interest at a fair rate, and no pledge on earth is more sure. If the United States lives, the bonds will be paid in full, interest aud principal Of what other security in the world can this be said with equal assurance? » A decrease in market prite is often misunderstood by holders of bonds who are not familiar with financial matters. They take alarm and fell that they must sell their bonds “before they go lower in price.” That is false reasoning, and if adopted it causes uncessary loss to individuals wha cannot afford to lose even one aollay. - : o
All that is necessary i 8 to hold all bonds. . The market price is partly. manipulation and party a result of excessive selling by persons who may be ignorant or to hard pressed. But the market price need have nothing to do with any bondholder. : A Thirl Amyp ttation, . It was decided that a third muaputat:cn of the fingers on the left hand of L 4 Compton w '.q be neccssary oefcre the well ku wan contractor would be well. The finger was first amputated at the first joint on account of an injury. Inféction mad> a second amputation necessary and after a hard siege of blood poisoning the balance of ‘the finger will have to come off. Mr. and Mrs. Compton &nd their two daughters were in Elkhart Tuesday when Mr. Compton was consulting his hospital surgeon.
" There are No Yesterdays. j Will Hays, chairman of the national republican. comuittee, says, “There are no yesterdays in ‘the Republican party.” This may be his hope in failing to consider the abominablz record made by the present republican congress, but the people are not likely to accept the slogan of Mr. Hays. They will recall the yesterdays frittered away by congress in failing to deal with ‘pressing demands for rcmpedied legislation urged by® President Wil'On. » & -
Will Ask Franchise. Farmers of. Wayne, Allen, Orange and Jefferson townships will apply for a franchise to establish a telephone exchange in Kendallville to serve their wants. The affair grows out of a controversy with the. Bell company over a new schedule of rates. It is doubtful if the state utilities commission will grant a connection. with the Bell exchange in Kendallo ; » : " . _Amish Boys Fined. Seven Amish boys of Elkhart county appeared in the court of Judge Drake at Goshen Monday and entered pleas of guilty to petit larceny. Fines ranged from $lO to $4O in each casé with suspended penal farm sentences ranging from forty to 180 days. The boys ‘were also distranchised for tvio years.

"~ Then and Now, e - On Decoration day, it was then called, he always climbed the hill out to the gravevard with his littie hand in_that of his grandmother's.

“The years passed. No lopger & youth, now a man with a soan of his own, he heard the cail of country and answered: The blood of the hesi American patriotism ran in his veins. Among the first troops he crossed the seas to fight for country and for justice. Stricken on the Argonne, he too poured out his blood on the ilelds of France. Today he lies muaong the noble, unforgotten dead. A 3 in former times he learned of the spirit of sacrifice, his boy today is learning of the same spirit of sacrifice which exalts human life and makKes it divine.
