WILL TRY WOMAN PASTOR SHIPSHEWANA CHURCH SECURES REV. ALICE PALMER The Congregational chucrh of Shipshewana has engaged the services of a lady as pastor, Rev. Alice Palmer, who is now preaching in > North Dakota. Miss Palmer comes highly recommended as a preacher and lecturer. She expects to arrive in Shipshewana about July 10 and will be ready to take up the work there on Sunday, July 12. A lady pastor will be something of a novelty in this section of the

| country, although there is no reason why a woman cannot do this work as well as a man. The Ship- > shewana church is to be congratulated on securing the services of this talented woman.—LaGrange Call. f „ Object To Tresspassing i —Mrs. F.

I KIMMELL MAN WOULD BE GLAD TO SECURE EITHER I I : W. T. Webber of R. R. 2, Kimmell, Indiana, called at the Journal office, last week, and inserted an ! ad. in the want-column for a house- . keeper. His story is a pathetic one 1 and we feel deserves mention other than in our paid columns. Mr. Webber’s wife died last fall , and since that time he has been ’ struggling along without the aid of j a help-mate. He has no children J but an aged mother makes her home with him and she is now at the point of death. The cares of a large farm and the sick room is . proving beyond his powers and he is seeking some one to help. Mr. Webber stated to the Journal editor that if any of the applicants proved suitable be would marry. He has a good-sized farm and raises a large amount of onions and sugar beets. He further stated that at his death his wife would receive his entire estate. Here’s a chance for some woman to secure a home. Birthday Surprise The following item was received too late for last week’s issue: A number of friends and relatives assembled at the home of Mr. and Mrs. John Neff on Sunday to help celebrate Mrs. Neff’s fifty-third birthday anniversary. Mrs. Neff was surprised when she returned home from a trip to the lake to find so many guests at her home. At one o’clock an elegant dinner was served and latter in the afternoon ice cream and cake. Those present were, Mell Stutman and wife, Wm. Darkwood and wife, Clarence Snyder and wife, Aaron Ketring and wife, Alva Ketring and wife, Ben Coy and family, Byron Doll and wife, Ed McClintic and family, Chas. Tompson and wife, Louis Sider, Dan Neff, Artie Gyer and family, Lena Bailey, Alburtia Freed and Hazel Miller. ON THE SQUARE ✓ is what we strive to be in all our dealings.

THE RABBITS ARE VERY NUMEROUS The Piohibiting of Hunting' With Ferrets Is Held Responsible Farmers in nearly every part of the state are complaining of the great damage being done by the hordes of rabbits that infest the country. Since the law prohibiting the hunting with ferrets was passed the abbits have multiplied very rapidly and they are proving a great menace to young fruit trees and truck gardens. Several cases have been reported where great fields of cabbage plants have been totaly destroyed. Many young rabbits can be seen by autoists along the country roads and the chances are that this little animal will become another pest for the farmer to contend with. It would seem wise for the game commissioner to make an effort to lift the ban on ferrets until such a time as there may again bedanger of the rabbit’s extinction which according to reports will not be very soon. Steals New Ford Car A new Ford touring car was stolen from the Neher garage in Warsaw over three weeks ago. The robbery was not reported at the time as Mr. Neher wished to make a quiet search believing he could locate the machine. It would seem that the wiser course would have been to report to the police immediately. Babe Drinks Kerosene The one-year-old son of Harley Whitney of near Pierceton is dead from drinking a small quantity of kerosene which it found in a small dish under the table. CONSIDERS TICKET IVERYGOOD BUY Business Men Thinks Better Plan Is To Buy Season Ticket One of the most careful buyers among our successful business men, was heard to say the other day, that he considered a Chautauqua Season Ticket, “a good buy.” When asked for an explanation he picked up from his desk one cf the beautiful souvenier booklets containing the program and announcements of our coming Chautauqua. He said, “I have read this very carefully, I have decided that I want to attend every session and hear every number on the program. It ail seems too good to miss. Now if I pay twenty-five cents each afternoon and thirty-five cents each evening, for admission it would cost me a total of three dollars. By purchasing a season ticket I am not bothered by any delay or change making at the gate. I am ready for any or all sessions and it only costs me one dollar and a half. This is an immediate saving of one half. My wife and I can both have season tickets at the price single admissions would cost one of us. “Furthermore,” said he, you will notice these tickets are transferable. Now that means that if I am prevented by some circumstance from attending any session of the program, I can give my ticket to some worthy person, and have the satisfaction of doing a favor.” Ashe turned to wait on a customer, this far-sighted business man, remarked. “You can depend upon it, I am go ing to use that ticket to the limit. Somebody is going to ride in on it every time the tent is open.” After waiting on his customer the business man continued; “You will notice there are about twenty concerts, entertainments and lectures during the five days Chautauqua. At the season ticket price each one of these members will cost me only seven and one-half cents.” With a grin and a note of enthusiasm in his voice he inquired, “Where can you beat that?” We remarked something ra'.her indefinitely and the business n?au grew more enthusiastic. “Why said he, I went over to another town to attend Chautau-

qua last year because we had none of our own. It cost me for that one session more than the entire season ticket for our local Chautauqua this year. I paid thirty-five cents to get into the tent, I got two meals at twenty-five cents, I had Ito pay -car fare both ways and came home late, tired out. Some of my neighbors drove over in an auto and it cost them several dollars, besides they blew out a thirty dollar tire on the way back and had to telephone into town for help. These same parties have already subscribed for five season tickets this year and are* crediting themselves with a saving i

> of about twenty-five dollars in cash ■ and fifty dollars in satisfaction. ” It occurs to us that the logic of this shrewd business man is irresistable and worthy of following. The calls for season tickets are gratifying the promoters of our Chautauqua and the outlook is very flattering. We would advise our citizens to purchase now as the season tickets in the hands of the committee can be sold by them Tor $1.50 but if purchased of the Chautauqua management the regular price is $1.75. The good purchaser buys at the right time and the right ‘ place. DO IT NOW!
