Preserving Historical Data The Fourth of July celebration at Centerville, under auspices of the Wayne County Old Trails' Road association, brought to light personal reminiscences and historical data of the early days of the county. For the first time, the incidents in the lives of the founders of the county have been given to print and have thus become accessible to posterity. Only a few of the sons and daughters of the

original settlers of this section of Indiana are still alive. They hold the key to much of the

personal history of .the early men and women who carved Wayne county out of a wilderness. What they know ought be given to the historian and ought be preserved.

The addresses of Judge Comstock and Addi

son C. Harris, as well as the history of the National road by William Dudley Foulke, were rich in historical material. The personal touches in the address of Judge Comstock and Mr. Harris made a deep impression upon many of the old residents who vividly recalled the early days of the county. The Old Trails' Road association contributed materially to the gathering of historical data in holding this picnic in the most historic spot of the county and in obtaining speakers who are so intimately connected with the growth of the county. It is to be hoped that later picnics will bring out more historical data and in this manner contribute to the work of the historian of Wayne county.

How Early Pioneers Settled in County

Note This is the third install. , ment of the address by Addison , C. Harrison of the Centerville Good Roads celebration: i Now what la the best thing a man can do at any given time? It is to . exercise his patriotic duty to benefit himself, and his fellows as most he may. If it be time of war, then to

maintain the flag of our country. If it be time of peace, then to help make the country better and the people hap

pier. Now that it la a patriotic motive that has brought the chairman to bring about this great meeting of

Wayne county people here today

What can you do? Why every nation,

encient or modern, has always provid

ed for its people good roads. Tell me what roads there are in a country and I will tell you what kind of people there are or you tell me what kind of people there are and I will tell you

what kind of roads there are. Now Africa is a populous country. Don't they have any loads in Africa? They have plenty of bananas and fruit there. They raise a little corn. They don't have to have any clothes of any consequence. Living is cheap don't you know and they get along well enough. We ought to be like a missionary who went over to Africa to make his home there with these black people and halp elevate them in the scale of civilization. He took a bicycle with him. He had been in the habit of riding a bicycle on good roads and when he got over there and couldn't ride a bicycle on the rought rugged paths through the jungle, he tried to move those people to improve the roads so it would be fit for a bicycle. How It Worked. Well, you couldn't move them by argument or by persuasion but they would move only at the command of the chief. Now what did this missionary do? He was a good politician. He went and bought two bicycles and gave one to the chief and one to the chief's favorite wife and then all at once, don't you know, there was a motion for good roads so the chief and his wife could ride. Now that is what you want to do here and that is what is coming here. You have always got to awaken an interest to arouse people to do something. They can't do everything at once only one thing at a time. Now here is a new vehicle. It is almost as new to use and strange as it was a few years agon and as a bicycle was to the poor blacks in Africa a vehicle that travels without a horse, a vehicle that don't shy, a vehicle that makes every man glad. It has come and the people of Indiana are starting to bring about roads suitable to this new vehicle of business and pleasure. And a road no more is a local affair. When I came from Indianapolis here this morning I noticed three vehicles on the road three automobiles. One was bearing a banner showing that it came from Chicago. The next one had a number on it fcl.owing that it was from Ohio and the third had a banner and number

which showed that it was from Oregon and I said that is the best proof that this is coming to be a National road when the people from the East and the West come to ride across our beautiful state of Indiana. I will do my part and everybody else will do hia part and soon we will make the roads in Indiana as good as in Germany or France or Rome. Rome has great people. You have heard it said that all roads lead to Rome and that is trua,. Those Roman people built great highways from Rome to all parts of the Roman empire. Twenty-nine stone roads centered out from Rome throughout the empire like the trolley lines and the railroad from Indianapolis to all past of this country and they built roads not such as you build now under the Three-mile Gravel Road law. They

built roads that are there yet and all you people are more familiar with the testament than I am but there is a story in the Testament that St. Paul was arrested over here by Herod if that was the man and they were going to try him for heresy. Paul said, "I am a Roman and I will be tried by a Roman court in the city of Rome." He was as pro id of his citizenship as auy American would be to say, "I am an American and I will be tried for a crime by an American court and by an American Jury," and so you know he made a long journey, part of the way by sea. He was shipwrecked and then he landed at a little town away from Rome and that has a road that has been built three hundred years built of stone with a foundation that was indestructible and when I was in Rome some years ago I rode over the

same road that Paul rode over. Well,

Paul don t know it. (To Be Continued.)

ROBBERS ESCAPE WITH $200 BOOTY

WASHINGTON, July 8. Strong issue today was taken by the Constitutionalist agency here with the official reports of the agents of the state department and American Red Cross detailing "pitiful conditions" in Mexico and painting a gloomy outlook as to the early prospects of getting aid to the starving people and bringing peace to the republic. The agency issued a statement declaring the "first authentic statement of the foodstuff situation in Mexico" received in Washington since the arrival in Vera Cruz of Red Cross Agent O'Connor, showed that "if he (O'Connor) expected to find the highwrs and byways of Mexico lined with starving citizens and famine stalking rampant through the republic, he met a rude shock." "Mr. O'Connor discovered that the need of immediate aid to save thousands of Mexican lives had been flagrantly enlarged", it added.

By dissolving four ounces of spurmax In one-half pint hot water you can make an . inexpensive lotion . that - will do wonders as a skin whitener and complexion beautifJer. It removes all shininess, sallowness and roughness, and gives the skin a smooth, velvety tone, while It does not rub off easily like powder, nor does It show on the skin. MAKES HAIR FLUFFY By washing the hair with a teaspoonful of canthrox dissolved in a cup of hot water, afterward rinsing thoroughly with clear water, one finds that it dries quickly and evenly.
