| LARGEST IN MIDDLE WEST' i i ‘ The following article is takes ■' from the Interstate News: ; i An electrically pperated gravel . washing- plant of the Sturm- . | Dillard Company, two miles west of md., is one of the 1 1 largest of its kind in the raiaau • west. The plant, which is ent tirely operated by electric power > from the interstate, has nearly 6UO connected, hersepouer which includes a <k>o horsepower motor land a 75, 50, 40, 25 and oth.r ' smaller motor iAsta’lat.oi’s. To ! supply the power necessary for the plant the 33,000 volt transmission bne between Goshen and Wai saw was tapped. lhe Sturm-Dillard Company was originally a railroad construe 4 ion company and several years ago leased tfie gravel pit and eighty acres, of gravel land from the Baltimore & Ohio railroad. The business of the company developed so fast another -ignty-acre tract adjoining the ’hidings has also been leased. Drill tests recently completed showed gravel to be 70 feet in depth under the surface. The plant has a capacity of 60 car loads of washed gravel a day. The most important of the electric equipment at the plant is a 350 horsepower motor, which is mounted on a steel float anchcred in + he middle of artificial lake formed in the gravel pit. Gravel is pumped through a 12-inch pipe after it is sucked up. from the bottom of the pit. The ru-mp has a capacity of 4,000 gallons a minute. Steel pipe with rubber joints I carries the gravel and w?, er to I the hoisting machinery, which is i an endless chain snd large buck- ! < ts taking the gravel to the top |of a 100-foot high tipole. At the 'top of the tipple wate F is poured on *he gravel and as the gravel prsses through a series of revolving coneshaped screens it is graded ac ordjng to size. Large concrete bins are used to store the various sizes of gravel and sand until its shipment. - ■■■.--QrANUSLLW The "Home Talen* Chautauqua” which was to hi ve been held lit Syracuse next Friday, Saturday and Sunday under the direction of the Bach Service Bureau, was caneel led at a special meeting of the local Chamber of Commerce Monday afternoon, on account of the continued very inclement weather, While consderible progress had been made in the preparation of the program features, it was felt that the weather would not permit satisfactory and comfortable sessions of the chautr.y-" qua under tont, nor the many out-of-door features which were being planned. Since the ’own boasts of no auditorium large enough *o take care of a project of this magnitude, it was necessary ta gangel |he whole affair. All local people having gopies of music to be used in the Chautauqua please return same to Rev. R. N. McMichael a* once, so that it can be sent to the Bach Service Bureau. B. B.

Landing on a Foreign Shore j 1 1 (By Mrs. Amanda L. Xanders.) No. 2.

; If in no other way—we would j know by the sea gulls, that a.e * : flj mg all around the ship, that , . we are approaching land. j I This second Sunday at sea . j differed in no way from tho first, . • save tne burial service. It is J worthy of note that Sunday is i observed on this ship; no caid playing and. n> dancing, yet the time passed swiftly, attending one or mere of ttife services, writing letters, promenading all around the deck, visiting with nt«w acquaintances, w a t c h i ng whales spouting water or fish flying out of the water and in again. I- created more or less excitement among Vh passengers, when a large stenrship came in sight and, pissed quite near us, as the Berenjarie. and other large ships did, and were soon lost to view. That last Sunday we counted twenty-six ships, in s.ght at one time, six or eight of them were silhouetted against the sky. If one’s eyesight is good, you can see twenty miles, to where sea and sky apparently meet. Parts of two days, the ocean looked like an immense sheet of molten glass; it seemed hardly believable it could be so cairn and still; tho one day the ship, without any noticeable c.use, rolled quite a bit; we learned it was the same day of the tidal wave on the coast of England. Towards evening we caught our first glimps of land, the S.illy Islands—a dark forbidding looking rocky shore l.ne, ju’ting out of the sea-, At Bishophead, on that same coast, were four lighthouses with their lamps brightly burning, sending their long pinions of light across the sea. a warning to all mariners. During that nigh* a hundred or more passengers were taken ashore, bpunil for Plymouth. There was so rough noise aqd rpeket over their going, I regretted I had not remained cn deck. Monday many more passengers landed at Boul.?gne-sur-Mer, France. Tuesday morning we awoke to find our boat in the River Thames, with land on either side of us, stretching away off in o rollipg hills covered wi|h grass and trees of a shade or •wo deeper green than at home. At 9.00 a. m-, to the minute, her scheduled time, our steamship arrived at her dock, guided bv a pilot who etune out in a tug to meet us. S o much time is consumed in docking a ship. Friends and re! atives are all the time, frantically waving to each other from ship and shore and finally when one's patienev is about exhaus= tvd, the gangway is moved across and many of the passengers rush into the arms of kindred or friends or sweethearts. Alwavs there is intense pleasure and pain connected with the arrival or departure gs ships. It was nearing noon, by the time we had passed thro the custonf house, a very high, long building, with our luggage unopened. When I reached the letters W: X. Y.» I saw a customs officer examipe, in minute detail' the hand begs «f a nßffl- I experienced the deepest resent* ment against that officer, so I hurried'down to the letter H., where the Hadleys had had their luggage marked without opening them. 1 took off one of their tags and hurried back and put it my large suit £ase and lugged—that IS hpw we get we word luggage—it to the letter H., where it was marked unopened. By this tune the crowd was growing smaller all the time, and tho we telephoned sgyefa| times to the place w«? hoped to stpp, there was no answer, and we seemed rather dazed over it. After an nffMM tpld qs fqr the third time, the train was ready to start, we came to our senses and-with the assistance of two porters we were on ’fee train, bound for Liverpool after the sky scrapers of New York city; they are so massive and so subißokidg.' aftd ft crowded together |hat no <natt«r pow much of a globe trptter one may be, it is nowCiere else© to be Seen, outside of London. On the other hand, the city is full of parks, large and small, and innumerable beautiful squares, mbst of them open to th« pSßlia- Pti. vate property, tiur room at the hotel overlooks one of the latterHyde Park and Kensington Gardens together, cover an area

1 of 630 acres over one mile lo:.g j and nearly a mile wide; it was t first laid out by Henry VIII, and is today the mast fast .ionable j as well as most popular of all J the parks. The flower beds are : • lovely. In the center is a large . lake on which there is boating, [ and at certain times, bathing. . One Sunday evening we enjoyed a- band cohcer:, seated on , chairs, for which we paid two cents. It is near the marble arch, where public orators cm be ■ heard, and where mass meetings pare held. It would seem free speech has no li.rr.it here—and it is interesting 4 o a ’ tend a meeting, where you can he*r advo- ■ cates of everything under the sun, speak. Here is a man. a staunch believer in Bolshevikism. and next to him some on? : s sing'ng Nearer My God to Thee, et'.‘, etc. There are 4500 double decker motor busses in London, at least, so a retired banker living at our ho*el for the past nineteen years told us on one of our four trips around the city at nigh:. That number seems small compared to the busses one sees everywhere. Mr. Dymott invited Mr. Hadley and the rest of us to tour ’he city by night. We accepted his invitation, after a rather heated : argument—that resulted in our favor, that we be permitted to bear the expense of the trips. Since we are here, tav opinion— I cannot say just how it was formed —in regard to the manners of Englishmen, hrs undergone a complete change; we have encountered, at every turn, courtesy and kindliness that has won our admiration for '’he men and wowen of Great Britain. Electric street cars are called Trams; many of them have double decks, and are enclosed in glass. Tfiere are subways, op tubes, which aptly describe them. Each tube is round ?.nd only large enough for rather, small cars, rounded at the top, to go thro. All elevators are called Liss, tp go to the subway, you enter a largo room, it is a Lift, and presently down you go. or up you come, as the case may be. The greatest depth of the tubes is at Charing Cross, where they go down 20d feet below the surf? e. The Bank of England, known all over the world, is really private property. It enjoys the exclusive privilege of issuing all the money for Great Britain. It is an immense building, almost black, no doubt from age, (built 1728) and fog. A strong iron fence about four feet high, surrounds it As you enter the court yard, you are mer by tw’Q’ WB in cut-away <t>atis, red vests and high silk hats, with a gold band around the crown. The bank is one story, without windows. No doubt it is considered a sacred institution, as one of the men said visitors are gnjy permitted to view tiie garden, to the rear of one side of the bank. The money issued by the bank is about two-thirds the size of the American greenback. England being surrounded by water, makes the air very chilly at night agd mprnipg, and tar that reason there are precious few flies or mosquitoes. Another noticeable thing was the scarcity of straw hats—it was an exception to see one. It was so cold for us most of our stay that my win»’er coat felt comfortable.

RECLAIMING OF IDLE ’ LANDS IN INDIAN A i A phamplet just issued by the | forestry division of the slate i conservation department, calls j attention to the forestry prob’lq ns of this st: t e with* ut gloves, making it piam that if ’; Aiuiana expects to reclaim much *: oi its iule land in the Ouio Val- ' ley and m the hid country to 1 1 lhe southwest, it must cease J ; procrastination, rbr about 21 years thi; state • has maintained a Forcstiy Reserve in Clarke county. Througii- ■ out the interim the original I true* has grown from a few hunI I dred acres to 4560 acres, wh?re • .he conservation depait nent ex- ! periments on a larger scale than ! anywhere else in the nation, | growing hardwoods. The time ’ has also arrived when deductions ; can be made from these erperiI .aenta showing which species are best adapted to certain oils and/ opography of the state. :n addition to experiments under way, this state forest grows , wood for fuel, ties for transportation, lumber for homes, and nmsery trees for planting, the department selling hundreds of small *rees this year to farmers at cost. At this time there is planted nearly one hundred experimentd tracts, from one to ten acres ach to hardwood and. evergreen : trees of fo:estry significance. J These trees have been planted j n varied combinations ft.r scion- ! i ific study and they demonstrate ! ooth? failure and success. By this ; experimental work, says Richard • Lieber, conseivatio>n director, s tree planters of Indiana are | saved thousands of dollars every | _> .ear by knowing just what trees | are best to plant in certain loalities. The depart phimplvt joints out that forests are a part of our traditions. They have played an important factor in the development of our national character and prosperity. The virgin forests were an orig- i nal aoeount credited to the American people in Nature’s ’ Bank. Our nation has already cashed about five-sixths of our l virgin foies resources. The remainder of the virgin forest lies chiefly west of the Great Plains, and the majority of our population lives east of them. This means that millions qf dollars worth of time and effort are consumed annually m getting our main timber supnly from forest to consumer, and is a tremendous economic loss to a state such as Indiana, which ;must import the bulk of its timber supply, while having millions of acres of idle lands that should be producing such, but which are no longer productive of an income. CONGREGATIONAL MEETING , The members of Grace Luther- , am church mixed business and pleasure in fine proportion Tues- ; day evening when they combined a church supper and their annual, congregational meeting. At about seven o’clock a supper prepared b.y th© ladies of the church was served to the members of the congregation and their fami- < lies. Following the supper the annual business meeting waq qquducted. Reports wer« received and accepted fygm the Pastor, and all departments of the church activity, indicating an active and progressive condition of affairs. D. H. Brunjes, C. J.

THINGS TO ■ THINK ABOUT S . I t Review of Things by the Editor 1 As He Sees Them on 1 the Surface, > 1 . : Cencernin,-- The Bachelor ( We hear a good deal about old : maids and foibles. But what I about tne bachelor? Is he extempt from the effects of living alohe! is he any more unselrisu or tolerant or genial than the unmarried woman? Consider the bachelors that >ou know. When you ask them to dinner, do they e., what is ■set before them without ado, or : are they troubled with induestrnn and. fastidious about tiieir I food? Do you find your bachelor I friends doing the little courtesies for women u.at make social life ‘livable? Do they remember to I return hospitality, to make dinner calls, to send flowers, and keep engagements? Or are they immersed in their own concerns, and careless of social obligat ions? Do your bachelor friends give freely to chari’y and the church, or are they more miserly than their married friends who can Hess afford to give? Are bache- ; lots sunny in temperament, or • moody and give to unreasonable ; crotchets? Is a bachelor uncle i as useful in a family as a spinister aunt? Does he adapt hhnI self to conditions as readily? ; Have the bachelors of your acj quain ance wtbio finally married made satisfactory husbands? These questions may reveal 'some illuminating facts about the genus bachelor to offset the many prejudices against the old maid. It is a general truth that I woman is more self sufficient than man. Given the raw materials of life she v. nl usually take hold of them t-nd fashion s me • sort of satisfactory existence for i herself, M >rec.ver, she will usually reach oi.* for a chaiuc tn help somebody around her. Tne | sourest of o’ i maid aun-.s is often the one who mends all the children’s socks and makes them apple turn-overs. Man. left to himself, may make enough money to live up any personal after-office hours life that will satisfy him. And he has a still harder time maintaining human contacts. Man is, unquestionably, the more helpless sex. And unmarried, he is, the more selfish sex, too. Motor Jaunt Two Bremen men motored to Philadelphia last week to see the big fight. There’s a statement that would open the eyes of our grandfathers. The thought of a motor jaunt to a city a thousand miles away, just to see a prize fight, would have sounded like wild fiction a few years ago. And now we are doing it. Maybe in just a few years more we’ll step out into the back yard and get into the little plane and run over to Washington to pet the morning paper. Coqueg home we’ll put her in her course, tie the stick, and read the editorials on the way home to breakfast. The proposed new auditorium will be an everlasting monument in Syracuse, something our citizens can be proud of. It is a. worthy enterprise and every citizen should help to finance it. Call on Mr. Abbott and buy at least one bond. The country may be going to the dogs, but ii seems to us there are K lot of dogs that should go to the country. There will be no fall festival, homecoming. Jamboree or home talent chautauqua at Syracuse this year. _ Bones has discovered the proper way to eat parsnips. Feed them to the «ow and then eat the cow. Now *hat fihe big prize fight is over let’s direct our attention, to the new auditorium;. Everthmg else about an automobile may stop, but the payments run. And now in closing: Buy a bond for" the new auditorium. — —| I IS YOUR BOY OR GIRL I | GOING TO COLLEGE?
