MOONSHINE AND GASOLINE h Too much moonshine and not' enough gasoline got two men, Ben and Emil Fancil of Warsaw in trouble Sunday night. The Fancil boys stopped at the garage of C. R. Hollett last Sunday night to get a can of gasoline for their automobile which had “run dry” near here. They} failed to return the borrowed gasoline can and Mr. Holleit! started in pursuit. He overtook' then-/ just north of Syracuse where their car had gone into! the ditch. In searching for his can. Mr. Hollett found a jug nearly full of white mule in the auto- • mobile. About this time Rev. ( Hedges. Church of God pastor, ar- i rived on the scene, being enrout home from his evening service. Mr. Hollett agreed to remain at the automobile to guard the liquor while Rev. Hedges hurried to Syracuse for Constable Mabie. Before the officer arrived, the Fancil boys got their machine out of the ditch and succeeded in regaining the jug of liquor after a scuffle with Mr. Hollett and drove away. Constable Mabie and; his party started in pursuit and again overtook the two Warsaw nan, their machine having gone into the ditch a second time only a short distance away. Constable Mabie-seized the liquor and placed the two men under arrest.) Their machine was so badly da-! maged that it was abandoned for the night. The two meh were taken to I the county jail immediately. Both men appeared before Mayor Sloan in the city court at I Warsaw Monday afternoon and Ben Fancil pleaded guilty to a charge of public intoxication and was fined $5 and costs amounting in all to $19.60. Emil Fancil, who was charged with driving an automobile while intoxicated pleaded not guilty and his trial was set in city court for Thursday. Immediately after his release Ben Fancil was arrested on an affidavit filed in Elkhart county, charging transportation of liquor. He was taken to the Elkhart county jail and will be tried at Goshen. It is said that a similar s affidavit has been filed in Elkhart county against Emil Fancil.' POULTRY SHORT COURSE The Fifth Annual Poultry!

CHURCH NIGHT AT GRACE LITHERAN CHURCH Last Thursday evening the members of Grace Lutheran church met in the 'basement of the church and enjoyed a pot luck supper that will not soon be forgotten by those present. Long tables were spread, which were litterally covered with everything to eat that skillful cooks could prepare. And 'right lere will sav that amdng the members of the congregation, there are some of the most proficient conks in the countv. The tables were beautiful demrated with t'he fall Howers in great bouoets, contrasting from the snowy linens. One’s appetite wes at its best as the rmnv delicious dishes were artistically arranged before the guests. The latere of the evening was “church night,” and a good -mwd was in attendance. It had been noised around before supper that the men 'had been dhosen to wash the dishes. Those unfavorable to this idea shirked the call by “vamoosing” Jhortly after their appetites had been satisfied and no one has seen them since. However, those remaining did not fear the task before them, and after ►he tables had been cleared of the disfhes and taken to the kitchen a person could hear a noise ‘like a brick house coming down.” The diShwashing brigade, of which D. H. Brunjes was ■he captain and Rev. McMichael the able assistant, consisted of ibout 8 men. Two cups were relorted broken. Rev. R. N. McMichael, the new oastor and his wife, are entering •pon the year’s work with a vim, md from indications are going fc o succeed beyond the expectations of the congregation. In turn, the congregation is to be congratulated upon being so fortunate in their selection of Rev. McMichael as their pastor. o PLENTY. OF GAME , Small wild game birds arc (more prevalent in Indiana woods (and fields this year than in many (decades, and hunters may expect a wonderful season’s spbrt, de clares George N. Mannfeld, chief of the fish and game division of the state conservation department in a bulletin just issued to 160 organized fisb>nd game protective associations operating in Indiana to further wild and aquatic life. His statement is made following a survey of the situation and from reports by game wardens farmers and sportsmen from all sections of the state. Reports thus secured lead to the declaration that quail are more plentiful than at anv time in 25 years Such a condition was brought about, Mr. Mannfeld says, by observance of productive seasons, mild winters and the fact that the public generally co-operates with the conservation department. Mr. Mannfeld reports that wardens in the past month arrested 1172 persons for violating fish and game laws. One hundred and sixty-eight were convicted and paid fines and costs aggregating $3,155.10. One crew of two men working in southern Jndian? made 15 convictions of people op erating seines and nets. o REWARD FOR INFORMATION The state conservation department through its director Richard bas announced it will !<rive SIOO to anv persons for ini formation leading t© the arrest (and conviction of persons using !dvnam : te or other explosives tn ! kill fish in the public waters of ! this state. Through the sale of licenses | the department annually raises a (large fund which is expended in (the reproduction of fish in state j hatcheries for stream and lake i stocking, and state officials do not propose that the irresponsible dvnamite come along and with a few blasts destroy the painstaking work of months. . PURCHASEDPROPERTY Guy Ott purchased of Guy i Bushong the Whitehead property ion Lake street. It has been oc- | copied by Mr. and Mrs. R. E. Pletcher. R. E. Pletcher has bought the (Matthew homestead on ..South (Main street. It is occupied at present by Mr. and Mrs. James Brickie. o— —■- There is no element in the sun except coronium, which has not also been found on earth.

SOME THINGS 10 THINK ABOUT Review of Things by the Editor As He Sees Them on the Surface. There are towns that are really and truly slow, so slow that they scarcely move at all. And there are others that slowed up until they stopped entirely . But not being able to stand still these began going i backward, very slowly at first, but their speed necessarily increases and it is only a question of time until they go plump into oblivion, a deep ditch lying behind every individual, community br institution, and it is well filled with wrecked ventures that looked good when they were first launched. Have you ever known anyone to make a success of a venture, (or with a business pr a trade or profession, with which he was dissatisfied? You may know some who manage to live under conditions, but they are making no headway inese are often classed ascon- * servative, but they are oftener hindrances to the » progress of others. The true conservative is by no means a hindrance to substantial progress and moral and social developments. He is simply one who looks before he leaps. If you are dissatisfied with y»ur town or community or with your business or home, go out and look others over, noting carefully their advantages. Don’t bother about their disadvantages, | for these will not help you much. Then compare their best with the best you have. In many instances you will find that they are no better thhn what you have. And wherein they excel in some things you have only to get busy in order to beat their very best i it is home pride, loyalty to your town and enthusiasm that makes towns, cities, farms and homes thrive and boom. Therman or woman who is forever complaining about their situation and condition, and wishing they were somewhere else, or differently occupied, neveYcan have a good home, or build up a successful business. Ixwalty to your home and the institutions around you, enthusiasm for the schemes you have in mind, and a desire to achieve success will make your town, your business, your farm, or your home, the best there is, for you. Boar in rr-ind that it is you that mjfkes success and not the things about you. These may help some, but if you do not employ them wisely you will fail of the success/qf which you drean> ed and thought yourself worthy, j Ministers in any community are leaders in solving moral and spiritual problems. Removed from the conduct of commerce, I ‘hey can see moral distinctions II little clearer than some of the i rest of us. The ministers are working only *nr the good of t'he community. ; When they say “Let’s do it,” Phey deserve to be supported by (ill progressive citizens w*ho dels! re constructive advance. Re- ; church attendance on the aart of each family in the community will encourage the weacher in their job of helping he world. Some people tret tired of this ! life and just fall asleep, while 'thers hurry the end along with ; L he use of a pistol, knife, or a I hit of poison. But it’s a good »ld world after all, and it uses l he most of us as we use it —in ;hort, this life is just what we i make it. Most people are satis- | Jed with a fighting chance, while others are satisfied with a i :hance of fighting. A farmer reports that his potatoes are so big that they are lushing trees over trying to get ' out of the ground. He says they ire so thick on the ground that ( every time he walks in the natch he has mashed potatoes. For a I few of them he will have to ex- ! ?avate under them and use a jack to pry them out. Some spuds! “A nation that rides in auto(mobiles should not permit its children to work in ignorance,” (The United States has over 5.500,000 children above 9 years of age who can neither read or write. The factories get them.
