. William Lancaster, of Goshen, who had been engaged as a plasterer on the Citizens Bank job here, had rather an exciting and expensive experience Thursday night when he mowed down about ten rods of fence for Curtis Hire on the Lincoln Highway near the Elkhart county line. Aside from demolishing the fence both front wheels of the Reo teuring cany were wrecked® . b

, ‘lt is suspected that Lancaster was soméwhat stimulated when he Teft Ligonier for his home. While the damaged car stood by the road side and before Chief Engle had it towed to a Ligonier garage it was stripped of its batteries and other parts. ‘ . Officer Bowen took charge of the case and arrested Lancaster in Goshén and on appearing in court here he was eased :of about $2B including $lO damages which went to Mr. Hire to replace his fence. The bhill for taking care of the care amounted to another $lO. No oné was hurt. =

North Carolina Mountaineer’s Struggle . With Ramrod Must Have Been ' Something Fierce.

Representative Zebulon Weaver, Democrat,. of North Carolina, relates this story in the New York Herald: ‘“My district has mountain counties and mountain men and women. The smartest people I know live In the coves of the North Carolina mountains about Asheville. They laugh in their sleeves at folks who describe them as ‘greenhorns.” : ; G “We had a one-armed fisherman in a valley in the Blue Ridge. He was not only good with: a hook and line but could outswear anybody in his community. A Presbyterian preacher found him and became a fishing companion. Soon he tamed him and got him to give up cursing. But he was up to other tricks. One fall when the preacher joined him for a fishing frolic the mountaineer. told him he came near losing his other’hand. ; “‘How was that? asked the preacher, £ S . “‘Why, I was trylng to get a cartridge out of my old gun and it went off, ; i - “‘The ramrod became fastened in the barrel, and I had hold of it trying to shake it loose' when the load was discharged. Of course I had a good grip on the rod, but it lifted me on my tiptoes three times before 1 could stop lt., ”

FEW REALLY LOVE PESSIMIST Truth in Statement That Man With Morning Smile ls Worth His . Entire Tribe, . e There were optimists in King Tut-Ankh-Amen’s time who met the far-off mornings with a smile, < And from all accounts of a statue they tound in the king’s tomb, the artist caught the inspiration of the smile and preserved it for the long after centuries, . : In one sense, it was the same world then that it is today. They had their joys and sorrows, and smiles and tears contended for the mastery. 5 There were pessimists then, as now, who saw no good and gracious things in life; who meocked the smiling ones and went frowning to their :tombs; who, not having heard of the Coue method, probably answered a cheery, ‘morning salutation with “Day by day, in every way, we're getting worse and worse,”. and who, when golden Opportunity knocked at their sad doors, ‘opened - them not, for fear Trouble might walk in and take the best chair at their gloomy firesides. . They never tried to smile away thelr troubles! ’ Varying types ‘of them are with us today, but one optimist, with a morning smile, is worth them alll-—Atlanta Ceonstitution. : boiy Treasure Sunk in Ocean. Sunken treasure worth millions lies at the bottom of the Navarino bay, on -the west coast of Greece. This glittering prospect, long the object of many fortune seekers, has finally found its way into British courts. Many .companies have been formed to recover the gold from the land-locked bay of Navarino. None has succeeded. One _concern, with $250,000 capital, was formed in 1918, but the war stopped it. The concession expired in 1920, then was taken over by two London engineers, who now come forward in a sult under an. agreement to find money for digging the treasure. The agreement fell through, and one of the litigants has to be content with treasure to the extent of $250 awarded by the court. The treasure has been re‘sisting all comers for nearly one hundred years. It went down in the ships of the Turkish Egyptian fleet, sunk by allied fleets in 1827. Sixty-twe ships in all were sunk in this battle. Gold and jewels to the value of 120,000,000 gold francs sunk, while five other ships went down with $5,000,000 of plate and specie. : 5 b

America’s Shortage in Oil Supplies. Although the 'United States produces about 70 per cent of the world's 011, it already consumes 25 per ceat more than it ~produces. Moreover, American 01l fields are becoming exhausted. Our reserves are estimated to be only 9,150,000,000 barrels, which, at our present rate of consumption, will be exhausted in 20 years. We are using up our reserves 16 times as rapjdly as foreign countries. In contrast with “our own situation, the world’s oil reserves ' are calculated to last 250 years. Obvlouz', the attempt on the part of other mations to gain control of these resources threatens our interests.—Prof. R. L. Buell, in Ourrent History Magazine. . :

. How Abeout This? ' Peter Brown, the famous New Yerk raconteur, was talking about the newspaper discussion. ‘“Why does a girl close her eyes when a man kisses her?” i e * “Thig discussion,” sald Mr. Brown, “brought out some ingenious solutions, ‘but the real solution was given by no one. It is this: ‘ “A girl closes her eyes when a man kisses her because she has . just told him he’s the first and in consequence she’s ashamed to look him in the face.”
