Clark's Method of Advertising Fact of Borrowing Scared This Man Away. A reference book on Russian history being needed right on the spot the literary hack said he believed he would run around to Clark’s and borrow his. He went to Clark’s, but ho came back without the book. "Didn’t he have it?” said the literary hack’s wife. “Yes, he had it, but I hadn’t the nerve to ask for it. Clark’s plan of advertising book borrowers scared me off. Before I had a chance to mention Russian history he steered me past shelves where every few inches a dummy stood sandwiched in between real books. The labels on all the books were conspicuous, black lettering in white, and they set forth some mighty interesting statistics, such as: ‘Three Musketeers,’ borrowed March 25 by John Smith. Not returned.’ After I had read about a dozen of those dummy labels I said it was a fine day, wasn’t it? Clark said yes, it was, and I came away. To advertise to Clark’s subsequent visitors that I had borrowed one of Clark’s most valuable books was a little too much notoriety for me.”

Crawfordsville Progressive Not Progressing

The Crawfordsville Daily Progressive, which prided itself on being the first bull moose newspaper started in Indiana, following the state convention, has suspended publication, after running just three weeks. Lack of money is given ns the cause for suspension. However, the leaders of the bull moose party at Crawfordsville say that they expect to continue the publication Wednesdays and Saturdays until after the election. Samuel M. Coffman, a former democrat and for more than twenty years publisher of the Crawfordsville Review, who was the editor and publisher of the Progressive, is understood to have lost money on the venture.

The eighth grade have begun manual training. Mr. Kesler and Prof. Shanklin were in Crawfordsville on business Saturday afternoon.

Fire Prevention Day.

Miss Julia Coyner visited Miss Moulder’s room Monday morning. Albin Saub was absent Monday. He did some practical work in agriculture by helping fill their new silo.

The second annual Fire Prevention Day of the State of Indiana will be observed next Wednesday, October 9. This is in accordance with a proclamation by Governor Thomas R. Marshall, setting aside the day as Fire Prevention Day, and calling upon the schools of Indiana, municipal authorities, commercial bodies, property owners and the public in general to give the day due attention. The proclamation calls upon all citizens, on that day, “to give personal attention to the removal of rubbish and debris from their premises; to sotting their heating appliances in safe and proper condition for winter use; to examining chimneys and flues, that break age and cracks may be properly repaired. ’’ The governor says further: “I also suggest and recommend that on this dao instruction be given to the children of the public schools with reference to the fire hazards of matches, gasoline and volatile oils, and that simple methods of fire prevention and rescue work be taught. I call upon the commercial bodies and the municipal authorities of the state to aid in disseminating knowledge relative to methods of prevention against fire and to urge a cleanup movement in their respective communities.” The first Fire Prevention Day in the state of Indiana, celebrated last year, marked the fortieth anniversary of the great Chicago fire. The movement for the observance of such a day was quite general throughout the middle West. Especially in all parts of this state the day was given attention by mayors of cities, commercial bodies and school authorities.

TAKE TO AMERICAN SPORT

Filipinos Are Developing a Real Inter* est In Baseball and Basketball.

The basket ball boys met last week and elected Ferrel Monroe captain. Several games have already been scheduled. Question: Did Miss Buchanan ever give a 10?

"It is an unfailing sonree of pleasure to Americans visiting the Philippines/’ said C. H. Keith of Kansas City, Mo., “to watch the interest manifested in baseball by the little Filipino boys and in basketball by the girls. The United States army was primarily responsible for introducing baseball into the islands, but the schools developed it and added basketball.

He says support was promised from the local progressive committee, but up until last Saturday night ho had not received one cent from the party ns a contribution.— LaFayette Morning Journal.

Helen Miller to Gert: Miss Buchanan is “The Girl of My Dreams.’’

Gert: Why?

Helen; She assigns such long lessons I dream of them and her all night. Question: Why is Ira Cunningham so happy? Question: Why does Grace Livingston wish to quit German III class?

At Baguio, in the interior of Luzon, Igorotes may be seen pitching curves with the skill of the small boy in an Indian school. Still clinging to their ancestral loin clothes, the boys add blouses bearing the letters of their teams, and thus present a strange picture. So the national game has spread through all the archipelago. Interprovinclal meets attract the villagers, young and old, from the adjacent country. They not only come to see, but they come to root for their favorite teams.”

Darlington’s Three Banks Consolidate.

To the many fads of vocational trailing in the public schools a new one was proposed at the recent Teachers’ institution in Cincinnati by Dr. Holmes, a psychologist of the University of Pennsylvania, He says “all teachers should teach their girl pupils how to distinguish a real man from an imitation one. When a girl marries she is married to the family of the man for four or five generations buck. If his grandparents were deficient she will have te expect trouble with her children.” There is a certain sex partiality in the inference that the proposed instruction be given only to girl pupils. Surely, on equal grounds, boys should bo taught to know a real girl from an imitation one. A boy may not have to marry a girl’s family five generations back, but he certainly has to accept I he old folks, and if he has been careless he will have to expect trouble with his mother-in-law.

Financiers of Darlington have reached an agreement and in the near future there will bo bat one bank in Darlington. There are two banks now, the Peoples’ Banking company and the Farmers’ and Merchants’ State bank. Recently another banking company was organized which was to have been known ns the Darlington State bank. That would have been three banks in a town which, according to the Inst census, had 780 inhabitants. To the average citizen of that place it appeared that three banks were a plenty, not to say too many. This feeling developed a conference of the stockholders of the two old banks and those of the proposed new bank and out of this meeting and others which followed a consolidation was effected and the various interests merged.

Friday and Saturday was observed th% annual fall opening at J. L. Moulder’s store. The store was prettily decorated in new reasonable goods with a touch of yellow and brown in autumn leaves in harmony with the season, find made a very pretty showing. Mrs. Moulder had on exhibition a pretty line of now fall millinery which met the feminine eye with delight. The Moulder store, always prtUy, looked prettier, and was visited by many people. The High School orchestrn made it even merrier on Satur. day evening in u program of good music.

A COMPARISON.

From Pompeii we went to Vesuvius. At the end of the inclined railway Mr. Towers, who is an engineer by profession, refused to go any further. The wind was blowing ft hurricane and there was a perfect storm of gravel and sand, I was sure I had seen just as bad at Rawlins, VTyo., and Mrs. Cosgriff, Miss Towers and myself started for the top. The storm finally became so bad that we were unable to reach the top. ‘We were strongly reminded of the Irishman who remarked that climbing Vesuvius was like trying to kiss his sweetheart: “It was so difr ficult to reach the mouth of the cratur.”—Rome letter in Salt Lake Tribune.

Five auto loads of men from Wingate went through here Monday evening to hear Watson at LaFnyette. Several from here attended the funeral of Miss Verba Oswalt at Waynetowu Monday. E. E. Miller as delegate from Council Grove and Ira G. Meharry ns grand secretary attended the N. H. T. D. A. annual meeting this week at Martinsville. J. F. Meharry as Henry Clay delegate is attending K. of P. Grand Lodge at Indianapolis this we?k.

Wallace Tiffany Dodson of Wingate was a New Richmond visitor hist week, visiting relatives and old time friends. Mr. Dodson lias returned recently from n year and a half service in Mexico, previous to that having served six years in the coast artillery with Uncle Sam’s army. He was offered inducements he says to remain longer and wanted to stay to help put down the Mexican rebellion, but was returned to the Slates on account of being disabled. He talks interestingly of his experiences in the service, and expects soon to give a descriptive lecture in New Richmond, to men only, of soldier life as he has seen it.

Catarrh Cannot Be Cured

But waiving the issue of partiality and considering only the vocation of the girl as a husband chooser, very little reflection will bring out the well nigh hopeless less absurdity of the proposed educatiou. Nearly three thousand years of experience recorded in tales and histories proves that the more a girl is taught and educated to marry a particular man the more she doesn’t do it. And who shall decide between what is the real man and what the imitation? Can any school teacher do it better than the school girl of marriageable age?

with local applications, ns they cannot reach the seat of the disease. Catarrh is a blood or constitutional disease,and in order to cure it you must take internal remedies. Hall’s Catarrh Cure is taken internally, and acts directly on the blood and mucous surfaces. Hall’s Catarrh Cure is not a quack medicine. It was prescribed by one of the best physicians in this country for years and is a regular prescriptiop. It is composed of the best tonics known, combined with the best blood pnrihers, acting directly on the mucous surfaces. The perfect combination of the two ingredients in what produces such wonderful results in curing Catarrh. Send for testimonials free.

In the schools, instruction was given by means of a form of lesson sent out from the office of the State Superintendent of Public Instruction. This lesson treated of fire, its use and abuse; of the sources of fire; of the prevention of fires; of the use of matches and gasoline; of fighting fire; of escaping from buildings and of aid to the injured. Public meetings were held in many cities of the state, and in a great many communities a determined effort was made to clean up premises and to remove the sources of fire danger. The Indianapolis Trade Association has been active in the propaganda for pushing the observance of Fire Prevention Day, and expects again to assist in this movement this year. Largely through its activities various municipal and school authorities of the state will again be reminded of the purposes of the day, and the Governor’s Proclamation, setting aside October 9 as Fire Prevention Doy, will be given wide distribution. So successful was last year’s campaign that State Superiu'.eudent Greathouse will again use the lesson which was then sent to the teachers, and his office will do everything within its power to carry out the injunction of the Governor’s Proclamation as to observance of the day in the public schools.

ORIGINAL OWNERSHIP,

It is not probable that private ownership antedated common ownership. It is almost settled that joint ownership, and not separate ownership, is the really archaic institution. There is the strongest reason for believing that property once belonged not to individuals, or even to isolated families, but to larger societies on the patriarchal model. In fact, common ownership, or what is known as the “patriachal systAn,” is proved to have been the rule in all countries prior to the later historic period.

There, is a glass of French invention which in intended to be proof against the ordinary attacks of burglars. So many cases of burglary have been committed by the breaking of show windows and snatching of valuables on exhibition that a special effort has been made to end this particular form of theft. The French glass is produced by a secret process, but the makers admit that thickness and care in its manufacture are its principal essentials. It is mode about three-quarters of an inch thick and on test has resisted the blow of a ten-pound iron disk. The same blow would have shattered ordinary plate glass completely.
