LAKE MEN HAVE BEARING

Attach Unusual I.mportanceto Hearing to Be Held Thursday and. Polday sidelosy -

Owners of Wawasee Lake Cottagss protesting against excessive valuations placed by tax assessors and appraisers upon their summer homes and lots will be given a hearing in Warsaw today and Friday in the offices of the county auditor before a delegation of members of the state tax hoard.

That the state tax board is taking more than passing notice of the hearing and considers it of unusual importance is evidenced by the fact that three instead of one member of the board are sent here to hear the evidence., They are: Pudge Huff, M, Showalter of Wabash a field representative and M. Winger .an engineer member of the board. ~ Some fine summer homes at Wawasee Lake have been given increased valuations by assessors and dozens of lots around the lake shore are assessed from $2,000 each up to $3,500 and more. : Wawasee Lake property owners have combined-in remonstrating and have employed Attorney Sims former state official to represent them at the hearing in Warsaw. “TWO MASTERS” R Q o Missionary Drama Rendered at Christian Church Fills Edifice to Its Capacity. . . A program which has been unusually favored commented upon during the past few days was rendered by the

members of the Christian Church Missionary Societay to commemorate their second anniversary last Sunday. Apart from the spirited Bible School session and the world inclusive church service of the morning there was an evening service which drew a splendid audience which fiiled the house to capacity when _the missionary drama,

“Two Masters” was made the sermon and was delivered with intense effect and thrilling directness. , The story of the fine young woman

just come to America from China where she had heen reared by her missionary parents, to secure her college- education, her devotion to her mother’s ideals and to her mother’s friend, her remarkable success in her work of the four years college course, which won for her a European scholarship, the almost complete reversal of her ideals and aims; and the final magnificent swing back to her mother’s defense and assistance to the Cause of the Gospel of Christ ali these were told by the cast in a way to stir the emotions of the dullest ihearts. . j

Miss Mildred Kimmell as Janet Mc-] Crea the missionary girl from China gripped the audience from the first, and her final depicting of the girl who relinquishes all wordly ambitions for the work which she would share with her mother was in itself a personal triumph., Mrs. Marie Wiley was. no less effective in her role of the one who led and guided the girl through four eventful years and was at the last monent led by the girl back to her old devotion to the one Cause, andaway from the fruitless service of the two masters. The naturalness of her art drove conviction to all her hearers of the truth of the utter futility of the effort to serve but the one God. As her invalid mother whose loving devotion to both the matron and the maid was the leveling influence in their soaring ambitions Mrs. iHubert Sutton won the respect of all the audience and made all to know how fine a thing it is to have some aged saint whose trust can not be swayed and whose faith will never waver and who will rebuke us in love and love us in humility. Mrs, Sutton is a more recent addition to the city life, and made many new friends for herself and family. Perhaps the most - difficult part of all the drama was taken by Mrs. Bailey D. Wray who for the purposes of the sermon became a lecturer of parts and took off a certain typge of flowery linguists

and also a certain type of ill-advised or ill-disposed caluminators of thel great army of noble mission workers‘ both at home and abroad,'with a gusto euqal to that of a MecCutcheon cartoon. In reality Mrs. Wray is a devoted mission worker being the presiding officer of the Missionary Society and eminently successful in that important capacity. The college girls who flocked with their disinguished friend Janet were the Misses Helen ‘Wolfe and May LeCount and Mrs, Chauncey Bowman their scene bheing spirited and zestful equal honors going to each of the young ladies. As club members who might easily follow the lead of the latest leader presided over in a most charmingly club lady like manner by Mrs. Joseph Calbeck were Mesdames Jackson Wolfe Applegate Kimmell and Baker and Pittman and the Misses Baker and Re130k .

Mrs, Leland W. Porter who coached the production has very rightly come in for a hearty appreciation of her excellent abilities in dramatic lines,

ASTRIBE OF AUTO HOOD WITH HANDS IN AIR HIGHWAYMAN COMES TO TOWN Had Attempted to Hold Up Garill Oil Filling Station Earlier Tuesday Evening : Crowded Cavin gtreet in Ligonier }presented a novel sight late Tuesday night when a Ford coupe raccd dowi 'that thoroughfare with a man astride the hood of the machine with both hands extended in the air and a loaded shot gun pressed against his back.

The bhoys picked up the fugitive at Rochester, a mile east of the city, and brought him to town in the novel . manner described. ' : Chief Wolf and Officer Bowen were about to depart on a second hunt when the prisoner arrived, and they locked him up. When searched a 32calibre revolver was found on him. The wonder is he did not try to use it on his young captors.

The prisoner gave his name as Roy Hoppas aged 22 years residence Fort Wayne. . ' Tt was known & the police that Hoppas had a partner by the name of Edward Braly, aged 28 place of residence unknown, and that both are wanted in Fort 4Vayne to answer a burglary. charge. Word came that Brady had a sweetheart on the North Side and the officers accompanied by Ellis Head and Max Mentzer. went to the residence described in that part of the city to secure the man. Head and Mentzer were stationed outside the house as look-outs while the officers went in.

In searching the home tho},." found Brady hiding under a bed and he was brought to jail and locked up. News of the oil station attempted hold-up spread rapidly in the city and caused much excitement. It was the subject of discussion on the gtreets Wednesday. . For several hours at the city jail vesterday afterncon Fort Wayne police detectives. and Ligonier officers grilled Hoppas and Brady and secured evidence to connect the prisoners with the burglary of a country store between New Haven and Fort Wayne. The young men wore clothing taken from the| store.- underwear they were wearing along with shoes, The Fort Wayne offifficers; took the prisoners to that city where they will ‘be tried. IMoppas confessed but Brady stood pat although a pair of .the lstnlen shces were found in a North Side residence where he had planted them. '
