THE BICYCLE DANGER The return of school days serves to place additional emphasis on what in the past few months has become a growing factor in the public safety problem, for morning, noon and night will find local streets thronged with the bicycles of school children. Authorities predict that more children will ride bicycles to school this year than in any previous year, so general has the revival of bicycling become. It is difficult—indeed, virtually impossible to impress on happy, carefree children the risks they run in riding on our busy streets, and the bicycle has become the motorists’ and the policemen’s nightmare. Repeated pleas for caution on the part of cyclists and parents have been voiced by police officials through safety pamphlets and newspapers td attempt to impress on their children the constant dangers waiting them on the streets. There is no desire on anyone’s part to restrict the use of bicycles or to deny children this healthy, popular pastime. But for their own sakes steps should be taken to decrease the bicycle danger. The practices of hooking on automobiles; of darting, without first stopping, out of alleyways into streets, and of riding “double,” which makes the bicycle doubly unmanageable for the nder controlling it, axe among the phases of cycling hazards which are proving to be the biggest cause for anxiety. It would appear that some regulations might become necessary it both children and motorists are to be protected. Just what form such regulations should take xs a problem which city authorities, school authorities and parents could do well to xtudy. Get the children's clothing cleaned and have them' all ready for the new school year. They will not only look better but will feel better in clean school clothes. Give them a good start.

One of us was patently calculating the number of seconds it would require for him to climb the eight-foot wire-net fence that stretched forbiddingly back of us. The writer of these memoirs was longing for the wings of a dove, that he might fly away. Yet another was looking for a holt through the fence, through which he hoped to flee. And so on. But Scottie nipped Buckshot’.j tender hamstring, and Buckshot decided to seek wide open spaces in order that the hock joint on his haw side might remain intact for use another day. It was a popular decision. Buckshot had proved he knew more about the location of the gate, ways from the corrals than we did, that afternoon. We were on one sid» of the high wire fence, gazing at him in peace and comfort, with no thought of the morrow, and were not much concerned when Buckshot began lumbering across inclosed areas, one after another, until, by some hocus pocus, the great creature was on our side of the fence, and snorting at us. He certainly knew his gates! This Buckshot is that animal that broke out of the C-Lightning Ranch, operated south of Putnamville by Milton Hinkle, same weeks ago, rampaging the country side. Buckshot has so many leaden pellets in his hide that he could rattle as he runs. The young man who wan in charge of the ranch in Mr. Hinkle’s absence, and who headed the posse that tried to put the bison behind the bars again, said, the recent atternoon we were there, that he shot sixteen or eighteen charges of buckshot into the big bull, that memorable day, as a sort of hint that it was time for him to go home, but the hint wasn’t taken. The posse had to get rough with him. It was on the rampage of Buckshot that a man whom he chased down the road lost both his shoes, in his effort to step farther and faster. Buckshot, when we stepped up to our side of the corral fence that afternoon, was trading flies with the world’s champion trick mule, and the world's champion bronco, and there was a precocious mule, scracely able to stand alone as yet, who although he had a jackass for a father, had already learned one smart trick, which was suddenly to implant both his little rear hoofs against the slats of any horse, no matter how large, that might come too close to him. After Buckshot had merged into the green horizen in the distance, and happy Scottie had returned home, and peace brooded over the world again, j someone suggested a (ride on the I Bronc, but, as for us a thrill a day is | efficient to keep the doctor away, ! and we took our ride on four wheels, instead of on four hoofs.

if it were changed—was made skillfully. In the book “The Kentucky Rifle,” owned by Dr. F. C. Tilden of Greencastle, published by the National Rifle Association of America, H .S. Groff is listed as a maker of these old rifles. It says of him: “Location unknown. One of his rifles is still in use.” A Groff rifle is pictured as a part of the Dillin collection, which is 53 inches over all, 38-inch full octagon barrel, full maple stock, basket weave checkered grip, and this comment is made; “This rifle was used in California until late in the percussion period.” However, this Gillespie rifle had a 40-inch barrel, and is 53 inches over all. It is beautifully ornamented with brass inlaid plates, one representing an eagle in flight, another a fox running, and so on. In the stock there is the patch-box, covered by a lid which is released by pressing a tiny plunger. In this patch box were carried tallow and bullets, the tallow being used to grease the bullets. Dr. Gillespie has the powder horn and bullet mold that accompanied this old gun. J. J. Kauble’s collection of six guns were examined, also, by a Banner man. He, at his home in Madison township, has two shotguns, one of them muzzle-loading, three rifles and a 45-col. revolver, and he is proud of all of them. The antique of the collection is a muzzle-loading rifle, evidently made over from a flint-lock, which has the name “James Golcher” on the lockplate. He is listed in Dr. Tilden’s handbook as being of Philadelphia. Pa. It says of him: “Also a locksmith. A descendant was making shotguns in Philadelphia in 1877.” This lockplate may have been bought separately from the remainder of his weapon, and the barrel may have been made in some local gunsmith’s shop.
CHICAGOAN DIES IN C RASH A Chicago man was killed and five others injured, one critically, in a four-car collision on Ind. 43 threequarters of a mile south of Linden, north of Crawfordsville, Sunday.

Then appears the Putnam Republican Banner, originated by Albert G. Patrick, in 1852. Mr. Patrick dis posed of it to Christopher Brown In 1856, being desirous of going west. Mr. Brown remained at the helm through the stormy Civil war period, selling to John R. Rankin, who, tn turn sold an interest in the paper to L. L. Burke, but these two sold to Mr. Brown, again. The latter sold to I. M. Tilford, “late of the Indiana-
polis Journal.”
George J. Langsdale, one of the best of the old time editors, took i over an interest in the publication in 67, and the latter became sole proprietor in the same year. Millard J. Beckett bought the Banner from Langsdale, in 1890. Mr. Beckett also bought the Times from A. A. Smith in 1891, and In 1898 Harry M. SmPh purchased it from Mr. Beckett, a daily edition had been established b> Mr. Beckett. S. R. Rariden. the pr<s sent owner, acquired the publication

Gone are the days when the homemaker used green peppers only as a garnish, says Eva I. Buel, extension nutritionist of Purdue University. Production of green pepper this year is reported to be 35 per cent above that of last year and 50 per cent above the five-year average. In food value, peppers rank high in vitamins A and C. In as much as the diets of many people are deficient in vitamins A and C, no opportunity to supply them should be overlooked. Raw, of course, is the best way of eating peppers. Some people prefer them chopped and served with salt. Numerous salad combinations are improved by the addition of peppers. Carrots, peppers and cabbage-—all of them shredded or chopped make a good salad combination. So do pineapple, peppers, and cabbage. Quartered green peppers and sliced tomatoes are attractive and appetizing. Chopped peppers are an excellent ingredient for salad dressings. Stuffed peppers are favorites in most households. The cleaned pepper is parboiled a few minutes. It is then lifted from boiling salted water, filled with available meats or vegetables, covered with buttered crumbs and heated in oven until the crumbs are brown. Do not neglect this attractive and nutritious vegetable—the green pepper, Miss Buel says.
