EARLHALI TJ1AN PLACES FIRST IN ORATORICAL .-. Garfield Cox Wins State Contest .Over Speakers From Seven Colleges Represented by Orators.
STUDENTS REJOICE Winner Pleads for Closer Application of Christian Principles to Problems of Life , and War. . rTarTham was again brought Into the winning column in the annual contest of the Indiana Oratorical association, when Garfield Cox of "Elizabethtown, Ind., a sophomore at the college, was awarded first place by the judges last evening at Indianapolis. He won first place over a field of seven speakers, the other colleges represented and the order in which the speakers were placed in the final ranking, follows: Notre Dame, DePauw, Butler, Wabash, Franklin and Hanover. "My Brother's Keeper," was the subject of Cox's oration, which he delivered in a forcible manner and easily wwi the decision of the judges. One of the strongest points in his oration was In its composition, although he won first place 'n both manuscript and delivery. Although Cox Is only a sophomore at the college, he has had experience in public speaking, having won the state peace contest last year when he was a freshman. He presented his subject In a clear, logical manner. " Students Make Trip. A special car of students accompanied Cox to Indianapolis and after the decision was announced, the jubilant Karlhamites jumped upon chairs, shouting and hugging one another as they gave the Earlham yells and songs. Rushing upon the stage, they carried their victorious orator about on their shoulders. The contest was held In the German House, which is much better suited to contests of this kind than Tomlinson hall, where the contest has been held in previous years. The central theme of Cox's oration was a deeper application of Christian principles to actual life problems. He connected his subject with the European v;ar by declaring that Christianity alone can solve the problems which the European nations are now facing. "After 1900 years of Christ, the fore most! nations of the world have fallen victims of their own greed," he salfl. "The international problems will remain unsolved until man has learned to live not for himself alone but for humanity." War was the chief Issue In four of the seven orations. The second honors went to J. Clovis Smith of Notre Dame speaking on "The War and World Peace." Third place went to William Stuckey, of DePauw university, with the subject of "The Conservation of the Soil." Myron Hughel of Butler, won fourth place with' the oration, "The Master of Nations," and Wabash collega represented by Arthur Clement was awarded fifth place on the oration, "The Mission of America." Donald Dunkln of Franklin, and George Trotter of Hanover, were given sixth and seventh places respectively on the orations, "The American Peril," and "Rural Life and Education." Ttie judges of delivery were Evans Wooler, Willitts A. Bastian, and J. H. R. Moore, all of Indianapolis. The judges of manuscripts were Raymond Alden of the University of California, K. D. Shurter of the University of Texas, and Hamilton Holt, editor of the "Independent." Each of the colleges represented sent large delegations to the contest and the enthusiasm shown was greater than at any previous contest. Prompt Action Will Stop Your Cough. When you first catch a cold (often indicated by a sneeze or cough), break it up at once. The idea that "It does not matter" often leads to serious complications. The remedy which immediately and easily penetrates the lining of the throat is the kind demanded. Dr. King's New Discovery soothes the irritation, loosens the phlegm. You feel better at once. "It spemcd to reach the. very spot of my couRh" is one of the honest testimonials. 50c at your druggist. Adv. Fountain City Nuggets Mrs. Hinkle of Vicksburg, Mich., isvisiting her son, Clyde Hinkle.

.For some while men have been obliged to select only the soberest colors it they cared for fashion. Next spring and summer they may be as prismatic as they please. The idea in this is to take the female eye. Women like gay things. If you are eager to impress one or all of them, get fixed up to re semble a gay thing and watch the ef fect.

"PORK BARREL" (Continued from page 1.) change their policy to asphalt tar macadam roads. There are two methods of making the asphalt tar macadam, one the penetration and the other the mixing. We advise the pene tration method. Build Good Grade. "The first principle of road building is a good well compacted sub grade. This is one of three things the government insists should be uniform over the county. The others are good strong shoulders and good drainage. "In preparing the drainage, a ditch should be dug under the center of the sub grade. If possible a sewer tile should be laid. Otherwise the ditch should be filled in with big crushed rock or something which water can go through equally as well. At intervals, smaller ditches should be dug from the center drain to the side drains. "This should be the first step in all road building whether it is earth, gravel, macadam or . brick. Care should be taken in selecting the right kind of material for the location of the road." E. J. Hernan of Washington and Boston, assistant director general of the National Highway association said that one-twelfth of the money spent on roads in the country is spent in Indiana. Caused by Pork Barrel. L. W. Duffy, who served on Governor Ralston's state highway commission of which Addison C. Harris was chairman, reiterated Mr. Hernan's statement and said it is because of the pork barrel system in Indiana and not because Indiana is building better roads than other states or as good roads as some of the states spending much less money. "The state highway commission found some surprising things in its investigations through the state," Mr. Duffy said. "For instance, is the wide difference in the class of men at the head of county roads in different counties. As long as the county officers of half of the counties take no more care in the selection of a' man for the place, state supervision is necessary." F. HARDING Dentist. Over 713 Main Street.

EATON MAN BLOWS TOP OF HEAD OFF
Pulling Trigger With Foot James Ortt Fires Double Charge Into Mouth. EATON, O., Feb. 27. Parts of Mb bead and brain were blown about In two rooms when James Ortt, about 68 years old killed himself late Friday afternoon at his home, Lincoln and High streets. The muzzle of a doublebarrel shotgun was placed in his mouth. With his right foot Ortt pulled strings tied to the triggers, and sent the contents of both barrels crashing through his brain. With the excep tion of a small part of the skull in the rear and his lower jaw, the man's head was blown off entirely. Mrs. Ortt, who was at the . stable milking, heard the report of the gun and hastened into the house. ' Three physicians were soon on the scene, but medical attention was out of the Questran. v Ortt had been ill for the last-three weeks, but according to his wife and attending physician he, had never intimated that he was planning self-destruction. For many years he was chief of the fire department, and during his ser vice seldom missed a call. Besides his wife and one daughter, Miss Mae, he is survived by one brother, Major William H. Ortt, of the Na tional Military Home, Dayton. Funeral services have not;, been announced. FARCE BY REBEKAHS SURPRISES OFFICERS NEW PARIS, O., Feb. 27. Lodges here are very active, many socials hav ing been given recently. Monday night the Daughters of Rebekah celebrated Washington's birthday by a roll call meeting, each member answering to her name with the first poem ever memorized. This created much merriment, one member reciting a Dutch poem. At the opening of the tedge the noble grand was much surprised by the absence of ten of her faithful, but was cheered later by their appearance one by one, clothed in colonial style. They pretended to be members of an out-of-town lodge, who were only here to visit, and as the whole was a farce arranged without the knowledge of the noble grand, Mrs. Mellie Bice, it was thoroughly enjoyed. About forty members were present, and at the close of lodge a social season was enjoyed and refreshments were served. Lost Knights Templar watch charm with keystone on one side. Finder return to C.

This did not meet with the approval of McMinn, but he seconded the motion. When the vote was taken McMinn voted "No." During the discussion at the meeting last night, McMinn asked Mr. Harrington somewhat sharply, why property owners in the city had not expressed their disapproval of the pro posed public improvement program when the bond issue question was before council. "Not a citizen said a word against the proposed improvements at that time," McMinn said. Mr. Harrington said that property owners were business men, and did not have much time to devote to such matters. Marlatt took this occasion to repeat his assertion that he had always been opposed to a bond issue. Bavis made a vigorous defense of the proposed bond issue, which has been endorsed by the Commercial club, stating that for years the city government had delayed providing for necessary permanent improvements, and that thousands of dollars had been wasted in pursuing such a policy by temporary improvements to streets.

LORIMER INDICTED
IN BANK SCANDAL William Lorimer, impeached United States senator from Illinois, against whom three indictments have been returned in connection with charges growing out of the failure of the LaSalle Street National bank. Lorimer is accused on indictment of mis-appropriating $14,000. posed North A street improvement, said he could afford to pay his own assessment, but he said it would work a great hardship to nearly all the churches situated on that thoroughfare, notably St. Mary's Catholic, of which he is a member. He said that parish was staggering under a debt of over $70,000. He said that he had contributed $3,000 to the church since the Rev. Father Cronin had assumed the rectorship. Would Annoy Churches. Mr. Stott repeated his assertion that a paved street would be a source of great annoyance to church goers by the noise of traffic passing over the bricks. He said that he knew street paving could not be paid for under the law out of the general fund, but he thought that the law might be amended to incorporate such a provision. This brought forth the somewhat caustic comment of President Bavis that if the new improvements equal to those provided during the last six years were to be paid for out of the general fund, it would be necessary to increase the tax rate 75 cents on the $100. The suggestion of Dr. Johnston and Mr. Foley that some section of North A street might be scarified was dis missed by Marlatt with the statement that there was not enough material on the street for it to be scarified.

TRADE PROSPECTS ARE ENCOURAGING Improvement in business since depression reached . low tide several months ago has been gradual. Confidence has been restored and unless all signs fail, the country is scheduled for a boom almost unparalelled. In order to overcome the depression that attacks a person in poor health it is necessary that particular attention be paid to the Stomach, Liver and Bowels. These organs are the controlling power in all matters pertaining to health and there is nothing will make you feel "so blue" and discouraged as to be without appetite to be subject to spells of headache, tmdigestion, dyspepsia and biliousness or to have constipated bowels. Nature never intended anyone to be in such a condition and the only way to improve matters is to give necessary aid promptly. This suggests a trial of Hbstetter's Stomach BitterR, because it has an established reputation as a tonic and appetizer, and will be found very helpful in any Stomach, Liver or Bowel ailment. It is well known as a real "first aid," and for over 60 years has held a permanent place in thousands of homes.
