RESIDENTS HERE DIVIDED COAL

WITH NEIGHBORS Liberty Facing Fuel Famine; : Order. All Schools and . Churches Closed. LIBERTY, Ind.. Jan. 18 Liberty has experienced the heaviest snow-storms and coldest weather In its history, says an old resident, almost eighty years old. There have been many reports of frosted hands and ears, and many cattle and hogs have been last. The highest temperature during the cold spell was nine degrees above, while at times the mercury registered 20 below. The snow was 18 inches on the level, and in many places it is drifted as much as 15 feet deeep. The roads have been blocked, and Liberty has been without mail for more than a week. Tuesday and Wednesday of this week, the rural mail carriers made no deliveries; the attempt was made, but all had to return on account of the drifted snow. Merchants say that very few farmers have been able to reach town for supplies. An order has been Issued that all stores and barber shops close at six o'clock, and pool rooms at nine. "Movies are allowed to run, provided wood is used for heating. Divide Coal Supply. . Although there has been a scarcity of coal, there have been no reports of people suffering. Those that had a good supply divided with their less fortunate neighbors. Many of the residents have been burning green wood. The January term . of the Union County Circuit Court opened Monday. So far there has been nothing ' but probate matters attended to. Unless the weather conditions get better in the next few days the court will not call a Jury..- Judge Springer has been holding court in the clerk's office in order to save the fuel that It would take to heat the large court room. No church services are being held, and the schools have been closed until the present crisis passes. " Business, In general ,is paralyzed. Miss Elizabeth Ron an, of Indianapolis, member of the Indiana Literary Commission, has been here for the past few days visiting the Carnegie library, and assisting in the organization of the county extension work. MILTON, IND. The Jolly Twenty-four will meet Friday evening with Miss Lorene Hess ....On account of the storm no services were held in .uy of the churches last Sunday Friday night a freight train on the L. E W. got stuck in the cut north of Milton. Men and boys have been trying to shovel a road through the t'rift but Thursday morning the train was still unable to get through, consequently all traffic and mails on tins L. E. have been off. The Lake Shore 6now plow is to open up the road. Milton has been without mails all week except an occasional mall carried down from Cambridge City Milton schools have been closed for the week The car between Cambridge City and Milton is running now and nil roads out of Milton have been opened. .. .Prof. L. E. Thompson and family. E. P. Jones and family, Ernest Doty and family had a community supper Tuesday evening with Mr. and Mrs. Frank Doty Mr. Oscar Kerlin and F. M. Jones are on the sick list.... Mr. and Mrs. Frank Barton, children of Mrs. Mallnda Barton, who live in Chicago, are very much Interested in the sailor boys in the Great Lakes Training 6chool. They open their home to them whenever they have shore leave. Lloyd Parkins is one of a group of nine sailor boys to whom the Barton home is a real home. Mr. and Mrs. Barton take them to hear the best music and lectures and make their shore leave pleasant, sane and safe. As a mark of appreciation, the boys gave them a beautiful clock for Christmas, and with it the following verses written by Lloyd Parkins: Your boys must leave at a certain time So we thought it best, you see, To get a clock with our extra dime To hang on the Christmas tree. Just a fraction of our gratitude. Which is really very great; But we give it with our wishes good. And with hearts that are free from hate. So a Merry Christmas to you both From your sailor boys in blue And we offer up a hearty toast For our home thtt comes from you. Here's the best of God's wondrous store To our mother we lore so true, And a hearty wish from our hearts core For the kids and both of you. Masonic Calendar Saturday. Jan. 19.- Loyal Chapter No. 49, O. E. S., stated meeting. SCHOOLS ARE CLOSED MONT1CELLO. Jan. 18. The schools of Monticello and Union townships have been closed because of the fuel shortage. Church servlcese also ire being curtailed to conserve fuel. Richmond Woman Not Worried Over Food Shortage "I have lived on toast and water for over six months and have .been scarcely able to eat anything for the past year. I began suffering from stomach trouble and bloating 5 years ago. A friend recommended Mayr's Wonderful Remedy and since taking doses I feel I am entirely restored; ercn cabbage does not hurt me." It is a simple, harmless preparation that removes the catarrhal' mucus from the intestinal tract and allays the inflammation which causes practically all stomach, liver and intestinal ailment. lM.tiiU. viYAm4itti.

THOUGHTS TO THINK ABOUT Friends should be valued more living than dead ; too many find faults in the living and virtues after they've vanished. Happiness is made of multiplied joys. Get busy and learn this multiplication table; smiles times smiles makes happiness. Losing is gaining when you hold on to your grit; no door is so tightly locked that your stick-to-it-iveness will not prove the pass-key that admits you. The Palladium Want Ads are your salesmen.

If you know someone who is troubled with head noises, or Catarrhal Deafness, cut out this formula, and hand It to them, and you will have been tho means of saving some poor sufferer perhaps from total deafness. We believe that Catarrh, Catarrhal Deafness, head noises, etc., are caused by constitutional disease, and that salves, sprays, inhalers, etc., merely temporize with the complain and seldom, if ever, effect a permanent cure. This being so, much time has been spent in perfecting a pure, gentle, yet effective tonic that should quickly dispel all traces of the catarrhal poison from the system. The effective prescription which was eventually formulated, is given below in understandable form, so that anyone can use it in their own home at little expense. Secure from your. druggist 1 oz. Parmint (Double Strength.) Take this home and add to it 4 . pint of hot Mater and 4 oz. of granulated sugar; stir until dissolved. Take one tablespoonful four times a day. The first dose should begin to relieve the distressing head noises, headache, dullness, cloudy thinking, etc., while the hearing should rapidly return as the system is invigorated by the tonic action of the treatment. Loss of smell and mucus dropping in the back of the throat, are other symptoms that show the presence of catarrhal poison, and which are often overcome by this efficacious treatment. If nearly ninety per cent, of all ear troubles are directly causeb by catarrh, there must be many people whose hearing can be restored by this simple home treatment. Every person who is troubled with head noises, catarrhal deafness, or catarrh in any form, should give this prescription a trial.
