. Convention to Decide, Under the Indiana primary election law -a candidate. for governor must secure a majority of the votes cast to secure a nomination. Shouid candidates lack a majority the nol minations must be made in the statd convention. With the number of gubernational candidates in both par. tiées a nomination in the primary is very doubtful and this centers interest in the selection of delegates to the state convention. Some of the candidates have slates made up with the aim of controlling the county delegations. One is propoSed by a cer-‘; tain democrat in Noble county which is not advisable as each township should propose its own delegate an(.'"l the candidate receiving the. highest vote in the primary is entitled to the delegate support in the state convention. This is imperative if the peoplc are to rule. The primary law should be amended so that a plurality votd would noiminate. |

Old VRG’T’;&;‘""”L‘?Q Blasted - Brings Girl $150,000

When the will of Louis T. Lehmeyer, ninety-two years old, was filed in New York recently, a hequest of $150,000 was made to Iliss Elizabeth Rosalie Wurthmann, attractive young school teacher, andd thereby hangs a tale of a blasted romance three-quarters of a century - old, says the Kansas City Star. { S . :

. Seventy-five years ago in Mainz, Germany, two young men were deeply devoted to a girl. They were boon companions, and because it was inevitable that one must lose should the other win their friendship was unstrained when Lehmeyer’s rival and friend led the girl to the altar. Lehmeyer was best man and he wished them godspeed on their matrimonial voyage. Lehmieyer's friend and his wife emigrated to America. A year later. Ledmeyer came also. His friend had settled in New Jersey. Louis Lehmever chose Manhattan. As the years passed Lehmeyer acquired one parcel of property after another. He built tenements and apartment houses. 'He -was known as a man who always had money. - : : On late summer afternoons of recent years Lehmeyer would sit in the garden of the home where lived the daughter of the woman he had loved in his youth. Elizabeth Rosalie, the granddaughter of her whose image was graved on his’ heart, would kunit in the shadow of the vines. Lehineyer, with a shawl thrown around his shoulders, turned his thoughts to the Mainz of yesteryear and murmured: i “My dear, I wish you could have seen your grandmother in her youth. Ah! but she was one of God’s noblewomen,” ‘

Resourceful Girl Who -~ “Parked” Her Slecves

I am not going to reveal her identity more than to say that her name is Margaret, and she lives in Hamburg, but I will say that on a eertain occasion this young woman showed herself possessed of resourcefulness. A

When she dressed for that.reception, or whatever it was, she did not know that it was going to be a formal aifair, so she put on a dress or a gown or a frock or—gee, being a man is something awful when it comes to writing about women’s clothes. Guess I better call it -a dress. She put on a dress with long sleeves. . ' e When she got to the place where the reception or whatever it was; was going on, she discovered that every other woman there had on a sleeveless gown. I guess gown is right. But did she let that spoil the occasien for her? Not this young woman. Not by a long shot, She slipped wupstairs, slipped into a room, slipped off her dress, ripped out its sleeves, slipped the “gown”..on again and slipped downstairs in less time than it takes to tell it. '

Approaching her hostess she said: “Tell .me, please, where I can park these gleeves.”—Buffalo News.

Her Servant Borrowed , the Guests’ Napkins

“Personal property meant very little to Persian servants., On one occasion a certain charge d'affaires, dining with some English residents, noticed his hostess, who was. sitting next to him, turn as red as fire, s

. “Whatever will you think of us?’ said she, pointing to the initials on her napkin, which were those of her guest, e ; Her 'servant, it appeared, being of ‘opinion that their mistress’ linen was not sufficiently good for such a distinguished visitor, had sent to the latter’s butler for a supply of the legation hapkins, which: they placed on the table as a matter of course.—Unconvention'al Memoirs, by Ralph Nevill.

U. S. Roquefort Cheese

America is to have its own roquefort cheese, which will look, taste, and smell just like that which has been made near the village of Roquefort in southern France for 2,000 vears. The French roquefort is made from sheep milk and rip2ned in cool, windy caves. Lacking the strain of milking sheep and the windy caves, United States government -experts have successfully substituted cow’s milk and built insulated curing rooms where conditions found in the original Roquefort caverns are simulated.

Efficient

“I'll' say he did! He showed us a new way to beat the time clock, taught us a lot of brand new excuses for being late, and how to hook the boss’s cigars without being caught.” e

Ostrich-Feather Industry

The- United States formerly took about half of the South African production of ostrich: feathers, Dbut changes in fashion have reduced the American demand, and the industry today is in a very depressed condition. South African exports of ostrich feathers amounted to about $2,000,600 in 1922, compared with $15,000,000 in 1918. -
