SHIRK FAMILY

HOLDS REUNION

Eighth Annual Event Takes Place at Pottawatomie Park Sunday.

With exchange on most foreign

currency hovering around the zero mark, for the last three years, the post office officials have finally come

to realize that financial conditions have changed considerably in Europe since 1914. In a new ruling rerived by Postmaster Hunter Monday the table of exchange for foreign money orders will undergo revision beginning Aug. 15 to conform it with modern currency market. Complaints have been flooding the post office in increasing volume since the conclusion of the armistice claiming that present money orders sent to Europe realized in many cases 10 percent of the amount paid in at local window. The cause for these protests come from the fact that the same rate of exchange prevailing for five years previous to outbreak of hostilities. When the British pound was worth less than 66 percent of its pre-war value, and the French franc worth approximately l-20th of its former rating, the post office department had been converting American money orders at a ratio set at the time of the formation of the international postal union. Postmaster General Acts. When complaints against this unfairness reached sufficient proportion. the postmaster general acted to equalize the official government exchange standard, which has been revised as follows: England, one pound . . $4

Netherlands, one florin Sweden, one krona . . . Denmark, 1 krona . . . Norway, 1 krona .... France, $1 Belgium, $1 Italy, $1

There is a radical deviation from the old figures by which the British pound was valued at $4.84, and the franc rated at 25 cents with currency of other nations fixed at similar ratios. Should the exchange unexpectedly rise above this standard the recipients of U. S. money orders would be just that much ahead.

The eighth annual reunion of the Shirk family was held at Pottawatomie park Sunday. Over 135 guests were, assembled at the tables for the basket dinner, after which the business meeting was called to order by the president, John W. Shirk. Election of officers resulted in Dallas Shirk being chosen president; Noe Shirk, vice-president; Ira Shirk secretary and Mrs. John V. Shirk, treasurer. Mr. and Mrs. William Cary of Albion. Ind., were made the recipients of $50 in gold. Rev. David Cripe presenting it to them in behalf of their numerous relatives of this city and other towns in celebration of their golden wedding anniversary which takes place early in September. Guests were present from Chicago, Ill.. Cleveland. Ohio, Nlles, Mich., Ft. Wayne, Ind., Detroit, Mich., and other towns near the city.

ASK BIDS FOR NEW PLATFORM

Post Office to Build Addition for Handling Additional Mail.

Additional platform space for South Bend post office to relieve congestion resultant from the unusual expansion during the past year of volume of the city's mails, was authorized by the postmaster general in plans received from Washington Monday. Bids on the contract will be received till further notice. That this project is liable to entail wasteful expenditure if congress acts favorably on the proposed extension of the present structure to include the Main st. ground, adjacent to the federal building, was the opinion of the postmaster. Elks Get Results. Through the efforts of the Elks' committee, which appealed before congressional committee on post oflices and post roads, the application of the local office was removed from the general list and placed among the preferred claims of approximately 80 cities. These will all be considered at the next session of congress, and the majority of them granted. If South Bend is granted a post office annex, as appearances indicate, the platform addition would have to be torn up with the rest of the obstructions that would interfere with the extension. Although the postmaster does not care to forego additional space on the mailing platform, which is urgent in the interests of economy he believes it advisable, to postpone the work until congress acts pro or con. Nothing can be done, however, to suspend the order of the postmaster general and platform building will soon begin.

How Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound Helps to Make Women Normal. Washington, Ind. "I was in such a condition that I never expected to

have children, and my aunt advised me to take Lydia K. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. It improved my health and restored a normal condition of my system so that I now have a fine baby. Until she was about a year old I was

very nervous, and all the time thinking something terrible was going to happen. If I heard any one coming, my heart would beat fast and I wanted to run. So I took the Vegetable Compound again and it helped me wonderfully. You may publish my letter, as the medicine is surely great." Mrs. Iva Banta, R. R. No. 4, Box 24, Washington, Ind. Among the virtues of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound is its ability to correct sterility in many cases. This fact is well established as evidenced by the above letter and hundreds of others we have published. In many other homes, once childless, there are now children because of the fact that Lydia F. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound makes women normal, healthy and strong.

Cummlngs, deputy collector of Internal revenue, in a statement given out Monday, declares tho business of the local revenue office has Increased over 100 percent In the last three months, due chiefly to improved and extended methods of publicity, with expansion of production entering in as a minor factor.

It relieved me entirely of indigestion and put me right back on my feet. I have not only gained twenty pounds in weight, but feel like a new man in every way.
