The machin rapidly drew nearer and the shadows frhrank until they wrr- .scarcely visible Matthew wa-s tired. The way had ben lor.R and the boiling he tt of the day had left, thu nl?ht hot and .sultry. Heidef the dii't of a thousand passing auto had jirch'd his throat and ?et his teeth on ede. He was more than Riad to accept the offer of a ride from the solitary genial driver wh'i condescendingly slowed up and permitted him to climb aboard. Ilrccz-e a Kelicf. The contrast was most relieving. The t-tlff treeze get up ly the rapid motion of the machine cooled his bollinff Mood and fanned his cheeks and hair with a gentle breath. It was pood to be alive and on the move. His companion and benefactor was a genial, good hearted host, lie talked and launhed of a hundred different topics, though he tcrned to delete too little attention to the i riving of the car. It w.us a beautiful new machine. an Oakland mx cylinder, and the regular beat of the engine was like a soft purr. "Wanta 5ee some KpeedV" queried the driver, as he lurched a trifle over the wheel. "Yeah," responded the passenger. Her Out." "All risht. I'll let her out." and this he proceeded to do. Gathering Kpeed with each revolution of the burning wheels, the car attained a tremendous momentum. "Fomething like " and the remainder of the host's sentence was drowned In the wind. "Klow up a bit. You'll jump the road." shouted the other at th top of his voice; but before he could repeat his admonition the, car swerved to one sidft. Then to the ottir with a sickening skill and then Bonnet knew no more until he, wa picked up by farmers who live near the curve in the Lincoln way. Just four miles east of New Carlisle.

He had broken through the windshield as the car went into the ditch and received several severe slashes on the scalp and a broken leg.

LODGE NOTES

The Harvest Fields. Lots of farmers are on the hunt for men to help 'Ith their harvests and many complain that there is a great scarcity of men for this work. But the complalners are not the enterprising, up-to-date farmers, for these latter know the value of The News-Times Want Adi and are running them every once in a while nowadays. The result is that they have all the harvest hands they want during harvest time. Mr. Farmer. It will pay you to use The News-Times Want Ads for this purpose this month of July.

In the near future South Bend may hope to enjoy its principal streets unobstructed by railroad traffic. That there will be a joint meeting of the construction engineers of the Iake .Shore, Grand Trunk and Vandalla railroads with the board of public works and the mayor, was announced at last night's meeting of the board of works. The joint session will be held Tuesday, July IS, at 10 o'clock. There has been much discussion over the improvement of the railroad approaches to the city but so far no definite steps have been taken. It is proposed that at this next conference some sort of an agreement be reached which will meet the approval of the railway officials as well as of the board of works and the people that it represents. Plum to liaise Lake Shore. Tentative plans for the elevation of the Lake höre tracks starting at Michigan st. and continuing on to Chapln st.. will be presented by the construction engineers of the company. It is thought that this way of Holving the difficult situation will be most likely to satisfy all parties concerned. This will do away with a half dozen troublesome crossings and the incident costs in lives and money. Officials of the other two roads are being called to the meeting to hear the discussion and also in order that an attempt may be made to get united action upon this question. It is hoped, that some plan may be drawn up that will comprehensively solve the matter. Even if the plan is not at once feasible, if it adequately allows for the expansion of the "city and for the future increase of traffic it may be applied by degrees. Fond hopes were entertained by a member of the bo'ird that the Grand Trunk'might be cajoled into entering the city over the Iake Shore tracks, and that they be elevated. William Crabill, attorney for the Grand Trunk, scoffed at the Idea. "Why. the court house will be moved off of that block before the Grand Trunk leaie Division st." Mr. Crabill presented plans for a new railroad bridge to replace the old one over St. Louis st., and with the modification that the bridge be buflt single track and with a waterproof floor, his petition was approved. Confirm Paving Petit kn. The petition asking that the first alley west of Lafayette t. be paved from Marlon to Navarre st., was confirmed and it was ordered that bids be advertised for. The final date for the acceptance of the bids was set for Au&. 1. The hearing on the proposed sidewalk on the west side of Oakland st., was postponed for two weeks in order that the city engineer might have an opportunity to investigate the matter closely. The hearing on the petition for a sewer on orchard and Kendall tF. was modified on account of objectors to read: "From Scott to Kendall on Orchard st. and on Kendall from the

Woe Unto You Pharisees! JUST a word of commendation tö the St. Joseph County Fair & Amusement association incident to the presentation of the Liberati band at Springbrook park this week. It is an entertainment that measures up to the apparent demands of the community the "apparent demand," we say, from what we hear thundered from our pulpits, and those others who are so persistent with their mouths that all things hereabout must be kept'mdral, uplifting, clean. We agree with these people, in the main; that is, we would agree with them absolutely, it they were just sufticientl) consistent in titting their conduct to their mouthings, to assist reasonably in making the fulfillment of their demands possible. The Fair association has put on the Liberati band concerts at great expense. Both the band music and the grand operetta are of a hih order. Our "four hundred" would 0 to Chicago, pay S2 to hear the same thing, and then come home and brag about it but Springbrook is in South Bend. The maximum price here is Thirty-five "Cents, including the best grandstand seats which might be compromising to the elect. It is, however, affording the purifying advocates of dance hall ordinances, movie picture censorship, and a dozen-and-one other things to meddle with the recreations of the antiautomobile brigade an opportunity to demonstrate whether or not they are honest-to-goodness reformers or just mere Pharisees. We have no free advertising space with which to boost ihe concerts at Springbrook. We have our opinion, however, cf the good people who are demanding that it be kept fit for a Sunday school picnic, but who are too pesky nice to help maintain it so. We hold no brief for the fair association, but we can see how it might reason, with a degree of logic, that it is quite useless to try to provide silk for a community that demands only calico or whose patrons of silk are too good, or too nice, to patronize the home trade. But it is always, or nearly always, the. way with people so interested in the moral uplift and welfare" of others. They are seldom willing to do anything more than make a noise about it. In nine cases out of ten, they are the prize tightwads of every community. Never a cent out of them to help make decency profitable," or to maintain it pending the establishment of its popularity. We have spoken ourp!ece. A glance over the audiences at Springbrook the past three nights, witnessing the absence of faces set with mouths that are loud lest some unwholesome entertainment be put or. somewhere; that is what furnished the inspiration.
