It is estimated that fully 500 farm folks attended the Farm Federation picnic at the Kendallville fair grounds one day last week. The occasion was a profitable and happy one. Many . heard the splenid address given by Hon. Lee Hartzell, of Allen county; Mrs. Verna Hatch, of the Huntertown Farm Bureau; and S. R. Gard, director of information of the Indiana Farm Bureau, music was supplied hy the Melody Men orchestra and R. W. Clark pleased with several vocal solos. The music’ was supplied by ‘'the fair association. Mr. Gard, who has had wide experience with the farm bureau activities gave a detailed report of what is being done by the farm organizations over the country. He told of their origin and of the grea t achievements accomplished that have made the farm bureau grow by leaps and bounds. Mrs. Hatch, of Huntertown, who has been closely linked with the Huntertown Farm Bureau, proved herself ar exceptional spaker. She told of what the farm bureau organization is doing - toward developing the social activities of the home, by bringing the farmers of the county closer together . different‘t:‘fnies of the year. The social events, she said, tend to make farm life more interesting and many more boys and girls are being held to the farm while in the past they have anxiously awaited the. day they can ‘“go to the city”. : | Senator Hartzell, of the state legislature is well versed on'legislation and he brought an interesting message to the farmers ‘on farm activities in the legislature. ‘“The people”, he said, “should lay more stress on the men they pick for office and the farmers should see that the ones' are chosen ¥hat will work for their best interest.” gl 2

Look For Large Attendance. Terre Haute is making great preparations to entertain = the « annual state convention of the American Legion and Legion Auxiliary, which is to be held there September 25, 26 and 27.

NO MIRRORS IN BARBER SHOP

Tongsorial Parlors for Bobbing Ml lady’s Halr Are Now Without Looking Glasses.

Speaking of the play of Hamlet without the Dane, what do you think of the mirrorless barber shop? Surely as an egregious thing, revolutionary and rather alarming, almost a contradiction in terms. Yet it has arrived. It flourishes. .It proves itself an answer to a need of the hour.

But not for men. No, no! The barber shop without mirrors'is for the bobbing of women’s hair, remarks the New York Sun. It seems that women are too emotional. to. watch the amputation of “woman’s crowning glory” without raising a fuss interfering wl¢h the work of the hair surgeon. Thpy’ twitter and fidget, and get excited and give directions, and make the operator so nervous that he is sometimes prevented from turning out what he considers a neat job. 'i[‘he idea of mirrorless surgery for the mutilation of female heads seems to have originated up Boston way. When the bobbing craze first struck New York barber shops were fitted up for women with a special eye to abundant and brilliant illumination of mirrors. Indeed, the mirror, woman'’s firmest friend, was banked upon as the supreme attraction in the new style of shearing parlor. But it was found the reflection of the victim after her tresses recelved thelr first sllash was S 0 unnerving to her, and stimulated her to so many criticlsms, vﬁarnings and minute instructions that it was soon seen that the mirrors would have to go. And now milady must learn to take her shearing like a sheep. ; )

TO MAR ST. MICHEL’S BEAUTY

Silting Up of the Bay Is Causing | Much Anxiety to the People e of Normandy.

<| The steady silting up of the Bay of ét. Michel is a cause of much anxiety to the good people of Normandy. It threatens to spoil the beauty of the famous Mont St. Michel’s, which at present is linked to the mainland only by an artificial causeway. Formerly the Mont, which in the course of the centuries has been by turns a Druidical shrine, a Benedictine abbey, and a state prison, and which, since its restoration by Violet-le-Duc, is jealously preserved as an historieal monument, was as inaccessible at high tide, except by boat, as its CornLsh counterpart, St. Michael’'s Mount still is. But the causeway enabled a light railway to run to the very foot of the Mont, and this causeway is stated by experts to be one of the great ‘causes of the silting up,”which it is predicted, will eventually make [the"‘ Mont Jjust part of the ordinary |coastline.

Electric-Lighted Handbag.

. The latest novelty from London—not Paris—is a lady’s handbag equipped Interiorly with an electric light. Just as If it was necessary for a woman to need a light to empty her purse! Nevertheless, the novelty handbag is about the cutest thing to arrive this season from the other side. One that was a gift to a young matron was the. sensation of a section of the lower floor in a theater, Raymond G. Carroll recently wrote from New York to the Philadelphia Ledger. She opened the handbag, a function which automatleally flooded the inside of the bag with light from a tiny electric bulb, located about half an inch below the clasp, and fed from a miniature storage battery covered with ofl skin, fastened at the bottom of the bag.

Tangled Tongues.

Spoonerisms, like the poor, we have ‘always with us. Two new and rather good ones came to our attention recently. The other day a Chicago woman, testifying against her husband in her divorce suit, declared: “He leads me, his awful wife, a lawfut life.” There was a loud'titter in the court, and blushing with embarrassment she .hastened to correct herself.

The other concerns a young woman who was dining at a strange house. On the table was a dish of boiled onions, and when her hostess was serving these and remarked that, of course, she liked them, the young woman remarked enthusiastically: “Oh, yes, indeed; if there is one vegetable I like it i 8 olled bunions.” Just think if her hostess’ husband had been a chiropodist.—Boston Transcript.

Took a Long Journey. Last fall an inhabitant of Ostheim, Alsace, captured a swallow nesting under the gable. of the roof. He released it with the following message attached on parchment: “During the summer of 1921 I lived with a farmer at Osthelm. He would be glad to learn where I have spent the winter when I return.” = The bird returned recently to its Alsatian home, bearing the following insecription: “I have been staying with a shoemaker, Joseph Bady, on the Island of Martinique, who salutes my present host.”. : ST

WANTED GOSPELS BY MARK

Husky Cowboy Gives Up Llife of Crime After Reading Tract Suppiled by. > . Bible Soclety.

- One afternoon Rev. A, Wesley Mell, secretary of the Pacific agency of the American Bible soclety, was working alone in the San Francisco depository. Suddenly the door épened and a cowboy @ feet 1 in height, with one eye gone (shot out in a drunken brawl), with sombrero and chaps and clanking spurs came toward him with outstretched hand. Mr. Mell thought at once that it was a hold-up. But the cowboy said to him, “I want some gospels by Mark” And he got them. This cowboy, who had been riding the range for several months, had drawn his pay and come into San Francisco for a good time. One morning he awoke to find hims Self in one of the lowest rooming-houses in the worst section of the-city. Bvery cent of his money was gone-and he debated as to what he should do to raise sufficient funds to take him home. He finally decided that he would go out on the street and “stick somebody up.” As he lay in bed working out his plans he noticed a small marooncovered book lying on the stand by the side of his bed. Not being in any special hurry to go out and perpetrate a hold-up, and out of pure curiosity, he picked up the book. | ‘ It was one of the 3-cent Gospels of Mark, printed by the American Bible soclety, which are given by the thousands to mission workers.—American Bible Society.

HAS NO CINCH ON ALPHABET

Prairie Village Barber Replles to Demand of R. R:. Company Not to Use Its Initials. i

Some time ago the Canadian Pacific Raflway company issued notices to certain hotels, restaurants, shops, ete., protesting against the unauthorized use- of its initials. One Pimothy O’Brien, proprietor of the “C. P. R. Barber Shop” in a prairie village, received the warning, and replied as follows: - . :

“Dear Sir—l got your notis. I don’t want no law soot with yure company. [ no yure company owns most everything—ralerodes, steemers, most of the best land and the time, but I don’t kno as you own the hole alphabet. The letters on my shop don’t stand for yure ralerode, but for somethin’ better. I left a muther in Ireland, she is dead and gawn, but her memories are dear to me. Her maiden name was Christina Patricla Reardon, and what I want to no is what you are going to do abeut it. I suppose you won't argue that the balance of my sign what refers to cut rates has got anything to do with yure raleroods. There ain’t been no cut rates round thése parts that I nos of.”—London Morning Post, .

Green Diamonds in Africa.

.. Two discoveries of green dlamonds have recently. been 'reported from South Africa. The first, found in the Bloemhof district, was a 5% karat stone, black and opaque, which, on cutting, ylelded a jewel of 114-karats of an emerald-green shade. It has been appraised by London experts at about £5,000, or about 100 times the price of a water-white diamond, says the Engineering and Mining JournalPress. The second green diamond was washed out at Parys, a short time ago, and was of ten karats weight. It has been sent to a government valuator at Qape Town. One of the most celebrated green -diamonds is the “Dresden Green,” in the Saxon Crown jewels, which weighs about 40 karats and Is apple-green in color. ; v

Freak Memory of a German,

. Herr Otto Schrader of Berlin is reputed to have the most marvelous memory in the world. The German Meteorological society . tested it recently. “What was the weather the other day—say November 26, 18907” the president of the soclety asked Schrader. Schrader never hesitated: “It was very clear before dawn,” said Schrader. “In the afternoon it was tloudy, with snow flurries. The temperature was two or three degrees above freezing.” And Schrader was right, the German scientists found out on checking up. Several American theatrical men are said to be after him to appear on the vaudeville stage in the United States this summer,

“The Greatness of Peking.

Peking, the Chinese capital, about which the rival armies are now fighting, is in reality three cities in one. There is an inner or Manchu city, and an outer or Chinese city. The inner comprises. the Imperial city, which, in turn, contains the “Forbidden City” or the “Purple Forbidden City” inside the walls of which, again, is the Imperial palace. Peking itself is one of the dldest cities In the world, being known to exist in the Twelfth century hefore Christ, but although it {8 of immense size, being 25 miles.in circumference, much of the space within the walls is anoccupied. !

"Brains, ] World-famous Dr. George W. Crile, who operates as skillfully with one hend a® the other, compares the human body to a dry cell, with liver the negative pole, brain the positive, Anything that affects the liver will also affect the brain, says Crile. _lndirectly, therefore, it appears that the intellect is partly in the lver. Sluggish liver frequently is the cause f sgpldity. A course In calomel jometimes is worth more than a ‘ourse in school. ‘
