Now that the season of navigation has opened on the adjacent lakes, some precautions should be taken to assure the safety of boats. The raising of the railroad bridge will mean more boats than were ever before on our small lake. Lights should be carried on every boat that frequents the lake at night, whether launch or row boat. The railroad bridge will prove a source of danger both day and night on account of the difficulty oFboats on opposite sides of the bridge to observe the approach of the other. There are two passage ways under the bridge and boats should always take the one to the right, as both channels have been cleared out. Signs aught to be placed on the bridge advising approaching boats to reduce speed. An accident was narrowly averted at the bridge last week and had both boats been running fast serious trouble might have resulted. It will be a whole lot better to heed these things now than later on when an accident might make it necessary. New Paris School. Charley Swart, trustee of Jackson township, and members of the Jackson township advisory board met at the New Paris bank and awarded the contract for erecting the new building at New Paris to John C. Bontrager, an Elkhart contractor at $22,200. Seven bids were filed. The highest was for $26,733. Among the bidders was Isaac W. Miller of Goshen whose proposal was $24,995 The building will be two stories and basement and of brick constuction. There will be five school rooms and two class rooms. Steam heat will be used. The present New Paris school built in 1868, will be torn down. Contractor Bontrager will start work soon and it is expected that the new structure will be in readiness for school in the fall. Ellwood & Ellwood, Elkhart architects, made the plans and specifications.— Goshen Democrat.

Bill Sterrett of Texas has made a discovery that should immortalize bis name among the disciples of Izaac Walton. It is a labor saving device calculated to make pleasant the task of gathering fish worms. Col. Bill explains it in this way: “You take a broom handle three and one-half feet long, drive it into the spot likely to be inhabited by angle worms. Leave an end sticking up about six inches. Then take a rough board and rub it over the top of the broom handle. This rubbing will cause a vibration of the earth, and the worms, angry and disturbed will work their way out of the ground. A fellow can get a pailful of worms in a short time.” The Journal is still SI.OO a year. 1 . J
