Historical Society Met At Old Trail Inn The Putnam County Historical Society met at Old Trail Inn for a dinner meeting Wednesday evening with a large attendance. After the business session, Mrs. William Boatright, president, introduced Dr. J. E. Porter who gave an interesting history of “Methodism in Greencastle.” In 1922 the church celebrated its one hundredth year. One bundled thirty years ago there were six circuits in Indiana and the lower part of Michigan. In 1844 the state was divided into two conferences with road 40 being the dividing line. In 1852 the northern confeernce was divided into the northern and northwest by the old Michigan road. The first Methodist Church was a small log building in 1826 between Washington and Franklin streets on Spring Avenue. The second church was a brick one built where the Veterans of Foreign Wars now stands. The third church erected in 1847 called Robert’s Chapel was built where the Presbyterian Church is located. Simpson Chapel, a small branch .after twenty years joined with Robert’s Chapel and in 1879 under the leadership of Dr. Joyce built College Avenue. In 1872 the Greencastle Mission started and grew into the Locust Street Church. Both churches were in the Northwest Conference in 1924. At this time Dr. Howard Taylor was called to merge these churches. Dr. Porter served College Avenue just prev- i ious to this. In 1929 the present Methodist Church was dedicated. In 1930 Rev. Albert Monger came and served six years. During this time DePauw University gave $50,000 in memory of Hillary A. Gobin ,a beloved preacher and teacher, thence the name Gobin Memorial Church. The society feels deeply indebted to Dr. Porter for this paper which it intends to place in the
archives.
City Observed Johnny's Day FORT WAYNE UP — Thursday was “Johnny Appleseed Day” in Fort Wayne in observance of the 183rd anniversary of the birth of a fabulous character whose 19th century path through four states, including Indiana, was strewn with apple seeds “Johnny Appleseed,” whose real name was John Chapman, died in a Hoosier home near Fort Wayne on March 18, 1845, at the age of 70. The Fort Wayne City Council adopted a resolution making Sept. 26 “Johnny Appleseed Day” but no special observance was planned at a memorial park here which bears his name and the “traditional site” of his grave. Appleseed, the son of a Massachusetts Minute Man, grew up to hate violence. He spent most of his life planting apple trees in Pennsylvania, Ohio, Michigan and Indiana. He was still planting trees when the “winter plague” struck him down. He died at the home of David and William Worth three miles north of here. In the Johnny Appleseed Source Book, the author, Robert C. Harris of Fort Wayne, quotes an article from the Fort Wayne Sentinel printed in 1871. The article told of Johnny’s arrival in Indiana: “But certain it is that in 1830 he was seen one autumn day, seated in a section of a hollow ti-ee, which he had improvised for a boat, laden with apple seeds fresh from the cider presses of a more eastern part of the country, paddling up the Maumee River landing at Wayne’s fort at the foot of Main Street, Fort Wayne.” Johnny brought along “his new Testament and a few volumes concerning the Church of the New Jerusalem, founded by Emanuel Swedenborg.” Appleseed was well known in the east for his missionary activities in the wilderness and his apple planting. He perhaps was better known by the pioneers as an “eccentric.” “A tramp was what we called him, and he was crazy as a loon. He wasn’t crazy, seems like but something was wrong. He always wore brown clothes of some description and was tolable clean. “Seems like the old coot always had an apple in his hands, turning it over and over, wiping :t off, ana then picking out seeds, and putting them in his pocket.” And so Johnny went his way from farm to farm, talking and planting. Legend says the “spare, light man” talked wit’animals. But whether he did or not, hf also talked to human beings. “He stayed at our house maybe three or four times,” Richeysaid. “I can remember. Dan anr Appleseed always sat and talked until midnight or after. The'' never stayed on one subject, but talked religion, politics, and everything else.”

So saying, South proceeded to go down at his game contract. West opened the king of hearts and dummy ruffed. South now planned to draw three rounds of trumps and ran the
clubs. This would be reasonable enough if the contract were six spades, but the plan failed miserably' at a mere game contract. East showed out on the second round of tramps. South therefore had to lose a tramp trick. Moreover. West could put his partner L -h the queen of hearts to get a diamond return through South's king. The defenders thus got two hearts, two diamonds, and a tramp, setting the contract two
tricks.
Lessen Bad Break South should take out insurance against a bad trump break. When he leads a tramp from dummy at the second trick, he should play the nine of spades from his own hand! West wins this trick, of course, but this gives him only the one tramp trick that he is sure to win sooner or later. Dummy still has a trump, so West cannot gain by leading a heart. No matter what West does, South can legain the lead, finish drawing the trumps, and then | run the clubs. The game contract ! is assured despite the bad tramp Daily' Question With both sides vulnerable, ! partner deals and bids one spade. 1 The next player bids two hearts.
You hold: S-8 H-Q 10 9 7 4 D-8 4 3 2 C-9 8 4 What do
you say ?
Answer: Pass. You expect to beat two hearts, but your hand is practically' worthless for any other purpose. If you double, an opponent may nm to a different contract, and will thank you for the warning.
