HOOSIER DAY (Continued from page 1) white people, those with higher incomes have edge over those of lower incomes in number who pray, professional men and manual laborers in equal numbers depend on prayer, white collared worker outshines the rest as to numbers who pray and a slightly larger proportion of farmers pray than non-farm groups. People on the New England coast, with a heritage of tradition from Pilgrims pray in larger numbers and the number decreases as you go west. Os those who pray, only three percent of the 92% said they pray to ask God’s forgiveness for guilt; 36% pray for favors, help, guidance or strength; 21% pray to get a feeling of comfort and confidence and only 14% claim that they ever think to give thanks to God for His many blessings to this favored nation SOLIDARITY TIDE CONTINUES NOW There have been a great many men of many denominations who have dreamed of the day when churches, all with the same overall objertive stop costly competition One of the most significant developments toward such a goal has been advanced by the growing solidarity of the World Council of Churches. Through the council, an estimated 175 Christians in 161 denominations in 48 nations have forged a program of joint endeavor. It includes Angelican, Protestant and Orthodox churches. Os this movement the Very Rev. J. Hutchinson Cockburn, of the Church of Scotland, said: “SWwly .and tentatively the churches have come to see what has been often lost sight of in quarrels and competition with one another that God in Jesus Christ created the church one”. Dr. Franklin Clark Fry, United Lutheran president and vice chairman of the United States conference for the world council, said: “The international Christian movement has done more to link men qf many nations, reconcile old enemies and lay a solid foundation for peace and brotherhood since World War 2 than any other force on earth.” PASTORS PUZZLED BY ATTENDANCE Hoosier churches are puzzled by the booming attendance and are not all sure as to why there has been such a reawakening. Many churches in Indiana are holding three services of a morning to accomodate those who attend. Overall, church attendance increase has ranged from 10% up. Most often a restless world situation is advanced as the reason that Hoosiers are showing a greater interest in church attendance. Other pastors have told me that improved church programs and the increased emphasis that newspapers and magazines have given to the subject of religion have helped.

First Steam Engine Ran Through Cornish Streets In 1801, a 31-year-old Englishman named Richard Trevifhick successfully demonstrated an invention which was to revolutionize world economy. It was the first workable self-propelled steam engine and it pulled passengers through the streets of a Cornish town. Stationary steam power had been in use for a hundred years, but this one and those shortly afterward built to run on rails by George Stephenson actually moved. In this day when the most fantastic scientific advances are taken as a matter of course, it is difficult to realize the skepticism toward the moving engine. They didn’t believe it until they saw it; even when they saw it } some didn’t believe, notes R. G. Henley of the N. and W. Ry. Thirty-five years later in America a learned mathematician “proved” with formulae that it was impossible for an iron wheel on an iron rail to ascend even the slightest grade. William Norris, this country’s first outstanding locomotive builder, conducted a public demonstration and secured affidavits from every passenger to contradict the professor. The development of the steam locomotive to its present high efficiency is a fascinating story. Its history began in England about 1700 when Thomas-Savery and Thomas Newcomen . developed a crude coal-burning device for pumping water from deep coal mines. In 1765, James Watt, a young Scottish instrument maker, was hired to repair Newcomen’s engine, and succeeded in building a better and more economical one. From this improved steam engine* patented by Watt in 1769, modern locomotives can trace their beginning. Automatic Water Supply Recommended for Poultry Another step in the farmer’s long battle to take some of the backache out of routine chores has come with the envelopment of automatic watering systems for poultry houses. The New York farm electrification council at Cornell university ’tested several automatic "freezeproof” systems last winter that are adapted to poultrymen with small flocks, and found the cone-type system rated the best. “It almost takes care of itself,” some New York farmers reported. They said watering hens by hand takes plenty of time and labor but with an automatic supply “it’s easy and fast.” Among the advantages given for the cone drinker were its low expense and installation, care in operation, and a saving of 25 to 30 per cent in labor. The device is simple and durable, with few movable parts. Prof. C. N. Turner of Cornell, who heads the research pointed out that the need for such a drinker among small poultrymen has always been great. Chickens drink in small frequent amounts, and without water for a few hours they promptly respond with less production. An automatic water supply is the best insurance against such a hazard, he said. Treat Poultry for Lice Unless hens have been treated for lice and mites within six months, they may be infested with these harmful parasites, according to P. H. Gooding, leader, Clemson poultry extension work. An infestation of either may cause the loss of several eggs per hen during a months and this greatly lowers the income per hen during the season when eggs are selling for good prices, he points out. Lice stay on poultry at all times. To destroy them Gooding advises growers to treat their birds with sodium fluoride dust or to apply a nicotine sulphate base compound to the perches one hour before the birds go to roost. Within 10 days another application *should be given the roost to destroy the lice from the eggs that have hatched during this period.

BCase Os Forgery By Richard Hill Wilkinson *rrpHERE’S A CURIOUS TWIST ■L to this case, inspector,” George Jackson, president of the Medville National Bank was saying. “Anthony Page, who deposited $25,000 with us on Monday, decided to use his right name at the last moment.” “His right name? What do you mean?” “Anthony Page is a fiction writer. His real name is Edward Thurston. Recently a distant uncle died and left him a small fortune 3* Minute to be exact. Page r- i- _ consulted me Fiction abQUt investments. x advised him not to invest in anything while the market was in its present unstable condition. He agreed, and decided to deposit the money in our bank until things looked better. "He came in early Monday morning and made the deposit, decided to use his real name of Edward Thurston at the last moment. On Wednesday, a check for $5,000, signed by Edward Thurston, was presented and cashed by one of our tellers. “I have questioned Thurston. He says he left for Chicago directly after depositing the money, and swears he told no one about his decision to use his real name. He had signed no checks against his account! Inspector Kent Clifford reflectively lighted a cigar. “You say that Thurston made hfis deposit early on Monday morning?” “As far as I can find out,” the president offered, “there were only two men in the bank while Thurston was here.” He handed the officer a slip of paper. “Here are their names and addresses Both are well known to all of us, men of high repute.” Inspector Clifford studied the names. “Now tell me what your clerks were up to.” “Nothing unusual. Getting things ready to start the day. Making sure deposit blanks, pens, blotters, ink. etc. were on the lobby counters Arranging their cash ...” Inspector Clifford snapped his fingers. “That’s it. Come on, we’re going to call on these two men.” ■PHE FIRST was on a man named Simofas in the suburban town of Sharonfield. Mrs. Simons answered their knock. “Harry is away. Is there anything I can do?” Following previous instructions from Clifford, Jackson said: “We made a mistake in his monthly statement last week. Do you happen to know whethrr he has it handy?” “It may be on his desk. Will you come inside?” They followed her into the house. There was a small den off the liv-

For a moment Inspector Clifford stood idly by. Then suddenly he stepped forward and snatched something from one of the drawers. Before the startled eyes of Mrs. Simons and the astonished gaze of President Jackson, he strode over to a window, studied the thing. "Simon’s our man,’’* he said. “This proves it. Now—” He broke off as the front door opened and closed. As Clifford finished speaking, Simons, a tall spare man, appeared in the doorway, stopped and looked /about in bewilderment. “I’m Inspector Clifford of police headquarters,” the officer said, stepping forward. “Simons, I arrest you for forging Edward Thurston’s name to a check for $5,000 ” Simons’ eyes grew wide. The color drained from his cheeks. For a moment he stared as though struck, then impulsively turned and bolted. Anticipating the move, Inspector Clifford leaped forward. His fingers caught hold of the tali man’s collar, and yanked him backward. “Quite simple when explained,” Clifford was saying later. “Simons probably needed money. He was in the bank when Page was making his deposit, and picked up the blotter Page had used when signing his name. It was anew blotter, and the imprint therefore was definitely easy to copy for forgery purposes.”

NAPPANEE ADVANCE-NEWS, NAPPANEE, IND.

Football. . (Continued from Page One) OPEN 2ND WITH PASS On the first play of the 2nd quarter A1 Wilt completed a pass to end Dick Rensberger on t he Comet’s 7 yd line. On the next play Eddie Hand caught one of Wilt’s passes in the end zone for Nappanee’s second touchdown. The/attempted pass play for the extra point was no good. Bob Cotner, Keith Marti and John Moses tried to get something started for the visitors, but Nappanee’s defense, led by seniors Jesse Berger, Charlie Lutes and Jim Tobias couldn’t be fooled. The Comets could only get as far as the Nappanee 40 yd. line in the 2nd quarter and were busy defending their own goal line. COMETS BOTTLED The Kendallville offense was so bottled up that they couldn’t get a first down in the first half. Second half the Naps seem to rest. Their offensive slowed down. Nappanee was forced to kick from their own 35 yd. line. Kendallville returned the ball to their own 44 yd. marker. Several John Moses passes to Keith Marti combined with some fine running by Bob Cotner enabled the Comets to get to the Bulldog 30 yd. line. Then a Moses pass to Marti was good on the Nap 15 yd. line. The Kendallville drive was abruptly ended on the next play when Jesse Berger intercepted a Moses’ pass on his own 26 ydline. The remaining minutes of the quarter found the teams battling even. Nappanee’s third touchdown came midway in the fourth quarter. A Kendallville fumble was recovered by Paul Parks on the Comets 37 yd. lineWright gained nine yds and then A1 Wilt faked a hand off and made a first down on the 24 yd. line Again Wilt carried the ball and gained nine yds. to the Comet 15 yd. line. Wilt’s pass to Hand was short, but Hostetter carried to the Comet 12 yd. line on the next play and a first down. After three more running plays the Bulldogs had another first down on the Kendallville 2 yd. line. STAND-UP TOUCHDOWN Then Danny Hostetter went over stand up for the touchdown. Wright’s attempted pass to Jim Warren was incomplete and the Bulldogs led 19 to 0. Coach Courtney substituted freely the rest of the game in order to give all the boys a chance to get into the game. Seniors Jim Tobias, Charlie Lutes, Jesse Berger, Max Slabaugh and Dick Rensberger closed their football days playing their best of the year. The defensive work of Berger Tobias and Lutes was outstanding. Coach Courtney can look forward to next year with high hopes since Hostetter, Wright, Fields, Hand, Paul and Frank Bolinger, Hall, Parks, Jerry Reed, Lantis and a number of reserves return. This year’s three wins made the season the most successful one yet, since football was started again, for Courtney and assisants Guy Conrad, Lundy Welborne and Paul Hartell.

IRIS AND ROSES STILL ABLOOM IN NAPPANEE Mrs. Marion Huffman, 351 E. Lincoln, has a purple iris in bloom for the second time this year. It has been blooming for a week. Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Myers, publishers of the AdvanceNews, who are living in the William Widmoyer home, W. Van Buren have a large yellow rose in bloom One large rose at a time has appeared every few weeks since July. GROUSE HUNTERS AT WIDMOYER LAKE CABIN Dave Widmoyer is at the Widmoyer cabin at Robinson lake, Mich., with his father, Bunk, to hunt grouse, pheasant and woodcock. Police Chief Herman Fogel has been there as has LaVerne Pletcher and other guests there are Harold Sechrist, LaMar and C. A. Mutschler. Dave will be back for the Festival prizes Saturday. EVERREADY CLUB The Everready club will meet Nov. 4 at the home of Mrs. Frank Lehman. Roll call will be cellaneousUNDER DOCTORS CARE Leon Miller underwent surgery Oct. 21 at South Bend Osteopathic hospital. He has returned to his home. Mrs Cloude Kaufman was admitted to Bremen Community hospital Saturday for treatment. Calcium for Adults On the basis of recent studies, the National Research council has recommended that the amount of calcium for adults be increased from .8 to one gram daily. This means that adults who have been using two cups of milk a day may want to increase this amount to three cups in order to be sure of at least meeting the requirement. Five quarts of fluid milk a week—or its equivalent in cheese, dried or evaporated milk —is recommended for adults. While that might seem like a lot, especially to those people who are not fond of milk as a beverage, there are many ways of getting that amount into the diet. Natural Elements There are 92 natural elements, beginning with hydrogen at number one and ending with uranium at number 92. Deep Water Id Assam on India’s eastern frontier are sections in which a record of 1,041.78 inches of rain fell in one year.

No Polio (continued from page 1) added about 14 lb. per square inch to the force of the steam. When steam presses through the engine’s pistons or turbine blades pushing them into a vacuum, enough coal is saved to heat water into 14 lb. more pressure. It is just the same as a boiler showing 114 lb. on its gauge, when there is but 100 lb. in the boiler. Atmosphere pressure is the weight of the air from the Earth up to infinity. A one-inch column of air presses with the weight of 14.7 lb. on the Earth at sea level when there are no atmospheric disturbances. Ground higher than sea levrd has less atmospheric pressure. In Nappanee, Supt. Hallawell states it is normally 14 4 lb. This pressure changes with the weather and this is called the barometric pressure. Low barometric pressure usually means a storm because air from other parts of the Earth or country where the barometric pressure is higher, flow' into a low pressure areas causing wind, storm and usually bring rain. TOWER READY DEC. 1 Atmospheric pressure is constantly watched at the electric plant on a mercury gauge because low pressure which means less vacuum pressure increases the coal consumption. They also watch it for weather since increases and diminishes the use of both electricity and water. The new cooling tower is being erected by Ralph Burke, of Bourbon and completion is expected December 1Mr. and Mrs. L. G. Hallawell, spent the week-end at North Vernon, Ind. They attended the wedding of their nephew, Robert Hallawell, to Tressia Barnes.

Put Fertilizer on Orchards Now For Early Start You don’t have to wait until spring to put fertilizer on your orchards. It’ll do just as much good this fall and you’ll probably have more time to do it, according to John Titus, U. of 111. Fertilizing in the fall gives nutrients plenty of time to penetrate the soil so that tree roots can use them. Titus says that as long as the ground is not frozen, the tree can absorb nutrients 12 months of the year. Since fruit trees are generally deep-rooted and have an active root system most of the year, they can be grown in soils of moderately low fertility provided drainage is adequate. However, many Illinois fruit growers use “complete” fertilizers to maintain a healthy cover crop. Fruit trees usually need nitrogen, though, Titus says and you often get pronounced results from it- A good rule of thumb is 1/8 pound of ammonium nitrate per year of tree age. Put it on right after the leaves fall. Nitrogen put on this late won’t stimulate • growth that would be injured by an early freeze. Stopping the corn picker before adjusting or cleaning it is good insurance against injury. There seems to be no substitute for good herd management in controlling cattle brucellosis. Purple Autumn, anew purple raspberry variety, has been released by the 111. Agricultural experiment station. Watermelons or any smooth skin melon can be preserved all winter by a coat of shellac on the skin.

THREE ARRESTED ON DRUNK CHARGES, POLICE REPORT James Sisk, 32, was fined $lB and sentenced to 10 days in county jail for public intoxication, police report. Billie Wilkie, Gary, was fined $64.75 and lost his drivers license one year for driving under the influence of alcohol and Wilkie’s passenger, Stephen Holman, Gary, was fined $lB for public intoxication, police report.* Clifford G. Harber, Creeon, Pa., was fined $18.75 for .driving his truck 45 miles per hour in a 30 mile zone. Bad physical condition of the soil may be the reason your flowers and vegetables don’t grow the way you think they should. A beef cow herd continues to be a reasonably safe investment and will pay a fair return for roughage, says a livestock specialist at Univ. of 111.
