Mrs. Dan Warbel is able to be at her work again. The report that is being circulated about her having had a stroke is a mistake.

William, pf New Paris. were all at their parent’s, Mr. and Mrs. Dan Warbel, on Sunday. The W. M. A. of the U.

Mrs. Kitson is calling on her many friends in our city. She, used to live here and went from I here to Arkansas. Then she came : back several years ‘ago. Since then sh* has been making her home in Ann Arbor, Mich. Q TELEPHONE WONDERS It is expected that the new system of sending pictures over telephone wires, perfected by! the American Telephone and Tel- i egraph Company and the Western Electric Company, will be of great. utility in the business, world. (Not only is it possible to send ■v photographic reproductions over j the wires, but cartoons, sketches, I finger-prints, music and specimens of hand-writing have been | transmitted successfully between New York and Chicago. Bankers are especially interested as they foresee a quick and sure method f of verifying signatures on checks which have been sent from far away and offered for collection. Court proceedings also may benefit from the new process in the securing, without delay, of exact reproductions of deeds, mortgages, depositions, requisitions and other legal documents. RECOVERS Henry Conrad of Shipshewana, is happy today as a result of recovering his wallet which had been stolen by pickpockets in Chicago on November 31 The postmaster at Shipshewax na received from the postmaster at Chicago the sum of $2,800, all in certificates of deposit on the Shipshewana and Lagrange banks, the property of Mr. Conradi The thieves had evidently found it hard to cash the certificates and then dropped them Into a mail box at Chicago. o According t£ Department of Agriculture records. Americans consumed 50.000,000 pounds more butter the first nine months of I this year than ever before. The total amount consumed during this period was 1,516,690,000 mounds ■' * ■

HACKS MUST STOP The Public Service Commission at Indianapolis issued a warning to all drivers of school hacks throughout the state stating that they must comply with the state law requiring that they come to a stop at all railroad crossings and get out and look before crossing. Recently there was an accident near Jeffersonville in which the hack driver and three! children, all colored, were killed by a train and upon investigation it was found that there was no obstruction whatever and witnesses declared that the driver did not stop. The law is very severe and anyone violating this one act shall, xipon conviction, be fined in any sum not to exceed $500.00 to which may be added imprisonment in the county jail, not exceeding six months. • This law’ has been on the statute for over seven years and it is stated that not half of the drivers obeyed the law; but from now on it will be different, for in all probability many arrests will be made over the state before a month and then the other careless drivers wi'l sit up and take notice. Every parent who has a child going to school in a hack which crosses a railroad track, should inquire of the child and see to it that the driver obeys the law, for after the hack or auto is hit by a train.«your child either killed or w’ounded. it is then too .late to prevent the accident. — o— — ROAD CONSTRUCTION IN 1925 The State Highway Commission announced last w’eek its definite decision to pave 226.6 miles of road during 1925. The 1925 program also includes a tentative schedule for the paving of 77.2 additional miles if sufficient revenue is obtained. The announcement of next year’s paving program follows the announcement made by John D. Williams, director of the commission, that almost 1,000 miles of new’ roads had been added to the state highway system. New ‘trunk lines and connecting links are included in the additions.It is believed that the Yellowstone Trail, west of Warsaw will be included in the program for 1925. This road w’as designated for construction in 1924 but was dropped because of lack of ft(hds. O W THE LIVE STOCK SHOW The Twenty-Fifth Anniversary’ celebration of the International Live Stock Exposition at Chicago, November 29th to December 6th, will contain much of interest to every member of the family, both city and country dwellers. A varied program has been prepared by the management, featuring the visit of President Coolidge, which will furnish a crowded w’eek of entertainment and education for the thousands of visitors w’ho w’ill flock to the “Agricultural Capital of the World” on this memorable occasion. L -.-o APPOINTED RECEIVER Glenn Young Monday was appointed rereiver for the Milford Novelty Company, of Milford, and his bond was fixed at $7,000. The appointment was made by Judge L. W. Royse in Kosciusko circuit court in the action brought by the Ralph M. Merrill Lumber Company.

No one knew why or how this phenomenon occurred. With the increasing knowledge of electricity and its powers, it has been urged by scientists that explanation of the Aurora wdirMoe found* in the laws governing the discharge of electricity through gasses. This theory has been followed to a successful conclusion, and it is now’ announced that the unearthly ribbons of light of the Aurora are due to action of solar radiation on nitrogen “snow’,” or crystals of solid nitrogen floating in the upper atmosphere, at an estimated distance of sixty miles above the earth. To prove this theory, nitrogen w’as frozen on a copper plate, much as the moisture in a warm room is frozen on refrigerator pipes. The crystals of nitrogen were then bombarded with electric light rays, whereupon the crystals were made to emit a pale green light, and this, when examined under the spectroscope w’as found to be identical with the green light of the Aurora. The strange changes o( color through which the Aurora passes have also been explained by the same experiment, for it was found that under the bombardment of electric light rays the solid nitrogen on the copper plate partly evaporated, and that the green light changed to the reddish color seen in the Aurora and now recognized as characteristic of nitrogen gas. o SEE THIS ONE “Barbara Frietchie,” based on Clyde Fitch’s play will be shown at Jefferson Theatre. Goshen, on Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, November 26, 27, 28. “We’ve an order to search the house. If your lover is upstairs, we’ll finish him!” threatened Jack Negly, insane with jealousy. Barbara was an ardent Confederate, but she had given her heart to Will Trumbull, Northerner. Not even war had made her waiver. Now, the man she loved lay in the room above — wound e d —shot by her own brother. “No, No!” she cried. “You shall not pass these stajrs!” “We’ll see about that,” said Jack, taking up his gun. Barbara’s heart was beating wildly. How could she save her lover from this madman? Here’s the most thrilling, the sweetest, the greatest love story in American History. To miss this is to miss one of the best things the screen has offered in a long time. o Indian chiefs in their dealings with the United States government now use the finger and thumb print instead of their witnessed mark. This applies only to those Indians who cannot read or write.
