! HOUSE WARMING PARTY i Monday evening about six j o’clock when- the Journal editor and family were just sitting down to the supper table a rapping at the front door and gentle tapping on the windows were heard. The associate editor went to the door to ascertain the cause. There was no one in sight, whispered words, "Come this way,” were heard, and as the situation became more interesting, she remained there a few moments longer to solve the mystery. Then a crowd of people was seen dodging and walking around in the front yard and coining in a long line to the open door. As they approached, with baskets and parcels in hand, we were made to realize that there was a surprise party on deck. Without pausing the crowd made their way into the house, put their baskets on the table and began to make themselves at home. Well, when everybody got their equilibrium we found out that the members of the Eastern Star chapter had come to give us a house warming in our new home. The affair was a complete and perfect surprise to the members of the household. And when the tables were spread with the good things to eat that were brought, a veritable banquet was in evidence. The supper was served cafeteria style and everybody went away with having had plenty..to eat, and more, after which the evening was spent in social commingling. Those present were: Mr. and Mrs. F. W. Greene, Mr. and Mrs. John McGarity, Mr. and Mrs. W. T. Colwell, Mrs. L. E. Schlotterback, Mrs. B. F. Hoy, Mrs. Chas. Grow and daughter Roberta, Mrs. Wm. Watts. Mrs. Chas.

INTERNATIONAL LIVE STOCK EXPOSITION The quarter-centennial celebration of the International Live Stock exposition at Chicago, November 29th to December 6th promises to be a history making occasion in many ways, accord-, ing to B. jH. Heide, SecretaryManager of this well known show. The social side will be especially emphasized this year. Numerous reunions and banquets will give visitors an unusual appori tunity to meet their friends from all parts of the country and renew old acquaintances. The business interests of Chicago have arranged unusual forms of entertainment for guests at the metropolis during International week. ' The live stock contests between superior specimens of cattle, horses, sheep and swine promise to be of a rare sporting character since many of the previous champions have been retired and the winners this year are expected to include numerous “dark horses.’’ The Grain and Hay Show will prove to be an exciting battleground where the relative merits as crop producing regions of the various sections of the continent will be fought out among over five thousand out-standing simples of grains, small seeds and hay. Some portions of North America have enjoyed favorafble conditions this year and others have suffered from unseasonable weather, but competition will be equalized by dividing the territory into zones. The Agricultural Colleges and Experiment Stations are planning to make interesting and valuable exhibits, showing the results of recent investigations in many lines of agriculture. The subjects treated will include many of timely importance such as the best use to make of the soft corn crop. A Junior Live Stock Judging Contest will be held on the openj ing day between the various j state championship teams for national honors. The three young boys or girls who make the highest individual scores, will be awarded agricultural eo 11 eg e scholarships by the Chicago Association of Commerce. » A feature of the night Horse Show this year will be the class for the old time four-horse hitch which is coming back in social favor in the east and abroad. A busy week of education and entertainment is promised all visitors to the International Live Stock Exposition at Chicago the first week in December by the management. . _____ —: 0-1-SHARKS SWINDLE WOMAN The savings of Mrs. Jennie Hilbish, aged 80. who lives on a farm near Bristol were $-300 lower today as the result of a visit by two well-dressed men representing themselves as “Mayo eye specialists.” Examining her eyes the men applied several treatments, told her they had saved her from going blind within several weeks and that their treatments had averted the possibility of her becoming a paralytic. They then demanded S3OO for the services. The aged woman gave them SIOO in currency and a S2OO check on the Bristol State Bank. The strangers then disappeared in haste and all trace of them was lost. —Ligonier Banner. - INTEREST IN RADIO The value of the radio business is nearly twice as great as that of the carpet and rug business. For every dollar spent on furfiiture, 33 cents is spent on radio. For every dollar spent on boots and shoes, 25 cents is spent on radio. For every dollar spent on musical instruments —pianos, organs, band and orchestra and even the lowly monica—7s cents is spent on the radio. The value of the radio business is three-fourths of the jewelry business with its clocks, watches and novelties. Radio is not a fad but a utility. o CHURCH COUNCIL MEETS - The M. E. Church Council was held in Indianapolis on Wednesday and Thursday of this week. Rev. and Mrs. F. H. Cremean and Frank W. Greene \gere in | attendance at the meeting. Miss jNatheta Sloan of this city, gave a whistling solo, with Frederick Beery as accompanist. After the 'meeting 'a banquet was given in •the Meridian M. E. church.

THINGS TO THINK ABOUT Review of Things by the Editor As He Sees Them on the Surface, That Big Word—Think! Young man. if you aspire to be ; a boss you have got to be a good | servant. If you have been | through the ranks yourself, you I understand what it means to be la good servant and you will not i have any trouble being a boss ; w’?en the comes. Your men | will follow vou. You wrn’t have to .drive them. Intelligence is all that is needed and,every normal person has a fair amount of it. Pick the thing you can do best, or think you can do best. Think! People don’t think enough. Think before you take a job. And %bove all, think as- > ter you go to work on that job. Then you won’t have to change jobs. Change is a bad thing usually for both you and the job. Thinking makes changes unnecessary. Requirements are higher today. But there are just as many opportunities for the boy who starts out to succeed. There are fewer get-rich-schemes. Boys must work for the so-called fat i(«>. And if ypu follow the landing of these so-called fat jobs, vou’ll find the lander has been on the trail a long time. That it has been no overnight business. He’s probably done more hard than easy things along that trail. Vision, stick-to-itiveness, courage, have gone into t|ie p making of it. And an understanding of human nature. This is an age when men who “think” are advanced to positions of responsibility. Getting Started Again We enioy a good joke, even though it is on us or member of our profession. And here is one on a Tennessee editor that we believe our subscribers will ; appreciate reading fully as much as we‘did: The story is told of a man who read his own death notice in a paper. As it would cause some slight inconvenience in his domestic arrangements to have people think he was dead, he calon the editor and demanded ♦hat a correction be inserted. “But we never make a mistake hi this paper,” argued the editor. The man replied that his presence was sufficient evidence of the error. The editor insisted - that his paper had a reputation of standing behind everything it published and could n<tt under any circumstances, admit that it was wrong. “The only thing I can do,” said the editor, in a final effort to satisfy the “dead” mart “is to stick you in t]jg birth column tomorrow and give you a fiesh start’.’ Doose. Oh. say! By the way. Did you pay The other day —'Your dues? If not, • Better hop f On the dot And pot Those dues. Send a check By Hek! * To the Ed For dues. During courtship the man talks and the girl listens. After marriage she talks and he lis.tens. Later on both talk and Hie neighbors listen. New York City showed the • Prince of Wales the sights, but when he wanted to see hogs he really had to go to Chicago. v *■ Woman’s love for dry goods and man’s love for wet goods are the two things which break up many happy homes. No clothesline ever breaks under the strain of the kind of wash which the modem girls hang out to dry. When a woman wants to indulge in nleasant reflections, she consults her mirror. When the water is extracted from oil it is possible the stocks may return to favor. And now in closing: Cqolidge doesn’t have to move March 4.
