WIFE OF MARSHAL OFFICER Mrs. John Boggs, wife of the city marshal, displayed her courage in a remarkable manner Monday evening when about 9 o’clock, in the absence of her husband, who was out on duty, she answered a police call and went single handed to the barn of Charles Wagner, in Matthews addition, to put to Tout some intruders who it was thought were fire bugs attempting to set fire to the building. The message was sent to the Boggs home by Mrs. Wagner, who thought she saw several mysterious fellows lighting matches near her barn, and immediately telephoned for Marshal Boggs to come. The marshal was not at home at the time, and thinking it her duty to defend a friend and neighbor, Mrs. Boggs decided to volunteer her services and arming herself with a revolver and a searchlight, made a hurried trip to the scene with the determination of capturing the culprits while in the act ot commiting the crime. Upon her arrival she saw several dark figures on the west side of the barn and pressing into service her

I searchlight flashed it full into the . faces of two men who were refreshj ing themselves with several bottles ,of beer and enjoying a sociable i smoke. The men happened to be a | couple of well known Kendallville •' men who declared they meant no 1 harm. However she ordered them to. seek other quarters and they, went. Considering the hour of the night, and especially after the several fires of mysterious origin which have occurred here of late, Mrs. Boggs certainly displayed a degree of valor which would do credit to many of the sterner sex.—Kendallville News. Grocers Must Not Sell Drugs. Druggists of the state have received a circular from the National Association of Retail Druggists calling their attention to the new pharmacy law which prohibits merchants other than druggists from selling drugs. It is provided: That no peison shall sell drugs or medicines within • two miles of a drug store, and that merchants outside shall get a permit from the Indiana Board of Pharmacy to handle such drugs as specified by the board. The law was enacted to protect druggists who are required under the law to have certain educational qualifications before they" are permitted to enter the business.

HOW TO PRODUCE - bOOD MARKET ESS There is a growing senti nent among some farmers and egg buyers of Indiana for the product) in of better eggs for the market. The buyers demand better eggs than they have been receiving and ome farmers desire a bettet pric for their good eggs. To produce hese better eggs the farmer should have a thorough knowledge of conditions that may affect production. The egg is manufactured by the hen from the food that is consumed, hence her feeding should be carefully considered. No ration si ould be made up wholly from grair; but it should contain with the gra n, a mixture of bran, shorts and beef scraps or skim milk. The ;rain should be fed in a deep littei t ) induce exercise. Green food of. ofcie kind, krit and oyster shell si ould always be handy for the fowls. The number of eggs produced will depend largely upon the breed ised, the ration fed, the congeniality of surroundings and the care give n. If any of these things mentioned be omitted, the number of eggs produced will be decreased. A nale bird is not necessary for the production of eggs, hence shouli be removed from the flock at the end of each breeding season, in ord jt to insure infertile eggs. Infertile eggs keep better and are very desi able upon the market. Farmers should look well to their flocks when considering the question of egg production, and select large hens of the breed which they keep, culling out and disposii ‘ of all undersized birds. By this n eans they will be able to obtain eg< s of desirable size. All people do not agree or the definition of a good egg and wen some do not realize the condl ions that sometimes affect its qv ility. In order to meet any demar I for first-class eggs, the eggs si ould weigh one and one-half pount s to the dozen, be uniform in size,) aturally clean, not washed, strong shelled and fresh. A fresh egg is one that was laid by a healthy hen, is only a few days old and has been kept in des? able surroundings. A fresh egg t not one that was allowed to stay i i the nest for a day or two, until i became convenient to gather it, i ? was taken from a stolen nest, or a ; incubator, or from under a s tting hen. Age causes an egg to bt oome stale and shrunken and it can ever be classed as a fresh egg. Heat seriously affects the quality oi eggs and in warm weather they s jould be gathered daily and market d as often as possible. Moisture c mses molds to develop and qi iekly changes the quality of the egg. Muddy weather means dirty ests, consequently dirty eggs. Nests built upon the walls of barns anc hen houses are often used as rot sting places, causing filth to accum .late, resulting in dirty eggs. Dirty eggs must be handled as second g ades; washed eggs are just as bad. Eggs deteriorate in quality if they a e left behind the kitchen stove o are stored in damp or musty celle s. It is not desirable to keep eggs any length of time before m< rketing, although it sometimes be< ames necessary to do so. When i becomes necessary to keep ej M a cool, dry cellar should be usee and the eggs kept in some recej i>cle, such aS an egg case, that will prevent them becoming brokt a or stained. Such eggs should be marketed as soon as possible. Onl eggs that are properly handled c; a be accepted by egg buyers as first class stock. A. G.

SPELLING BEEJIBSURDITIES Another absurdity of the spelling phobists was manifested last week at the state trial in Indianapolis. A boy from St. Joseph county was counted out because he spelled “traveller” as he finds it in fourfifths of English literature and twothirds of the dictionaries, because the Alexander speller made it “trav of instruction does not wish to make his spelling crusade absolutely ridisulous he ought to prescribe rules that will admit any established form where reputable authorities differ. All educators know that practical knowledge of spelling comes chiefly through familiarity with words. Hence to restrict competitors to a form found in some spelling books is to put a handicap on those who are general readers; because their familiarity with usual forms may easily confuse them as to the arbitrary spelling required. In other words, the Alexander speller method puts a premium on lack of information. It will be recalled that in a county contest a few weeks ago, a girl was put down and out for spelling “saviour” the way she had read it inlier Bible. The presumption is that the judges on that occasion were more familiar with the Alex- . ander speller than with the Scriptures.—South Bend Times. Evangelical Conference Appointments.

The head consists of the eyes, the ears, and the brains, if any. The chist contains the lungs and a piece of the liver. The stummick is devoted to the bowels, of which there are five, a, e, i, o, u, and sometimes w and y.” Mrs. Ruth Probst of Ligonier, was suddenly stricken Saturday evening in the union station at Toledo, Ohio, i and died in a short time without ; regaining consciousness.

East St. Louis, 111., April 8, 1911. In the natural order of things man is of but few years; he comes into the world, lives a short span and passes into the Great Beyond from which no traveler ever returned goes hence, leaving his impress upon the community, and this impress becomes an inspiration to the loved ones, friends and brothers who survive him, when the life has been worthy, upright and purposeful, as was that of our beloved and esteemed friend, Wilson Miles, And though his memory remains with us deep is the regret of his associate friends that the closing chapter of his life has been written, and Whereas, the life well spent for he was an upright man, a true friend that we tender to his bereaved relatives, our sincerest sympathy, fully realizing that the dear ones left behind have in his death lost a valued and faithful member, and the community an honored and respected citizen, Resolved, That a copy of . hese resolutions be forwarded to the family of our deceased friend.

To permit Mrs. Henry Engel of Kendallville to chase through arih Id and capture a chicken which escaped from her through a coach window: a Wabash passenger conductor stopped his train near Strbh and waited until Mrs. Engel effected the capture.—Goshen Democrat. We know it to be true that the employees of the Wabash are veiy accommodating, for they once held a train which was already late, five minutes, for us to get a pocketbook which in the hurry to catch the train, had been forgotten and left ip a buggy.
