l'.U. *-•“ ; ONLY ONE Vfc’LVt KY DAY ' - ■ The rabbit’s feet and other 1 charms supposed to wal'd off evil will be needed only once next year so far as Friday, the thirteenth, goes. That day and date appears only once in the calendars for 1927. However, since the combination comes in May. the superstitious folks have more than four months to get reauy. April fool’s day falls on Friday and it behooves the world to watch its s. ep then. Easter Sunday comes on April 17; Mother’s day on Sunday, May 8; Memorial day falls'on Monday, May* 30; summer appears officially on 'fuesday, June 21; Fourth of July will be celebrated on Monday thus affording the workingman a double holiday but he will pay for this Christmas which falls on Sunday; Labor day. always the first Monday in September, falls on September 5; Columbus day is on Wednesday and Hallowe’en on Monday. January, April, July. October and December will be welcome months because each contains live Saturdays and therefore five paydays. BENEFITS FOR VETERANS Some 2,500 d;sabled Indiana veteians of ‘{he Wortld War and dependent families of veterans benefited to the extent of more than $300,000 during the past year by the direct rehabilitation service of the Indiana Department of the American Legion, according to a summaiy ol the year’s work in rehabilitation ! made public by Department Adjutant J. H. Klinger. Indianapolis. Os this number, 2.500 received major benefits in claim s for compensation of various types, hospitalization, insurance, burial allowances and direct relief in the way of food, clothing, lodging and the like. The department’s rehabilitation work during the past year was treble wnat it had been in any preceding year in its history, according to Mr. Klinger. This was due to a change in the L; gion set-up for handling rehabilitation cases. The work was carried on under the direction of the department rehabilitation committee under the chairmanship of Dr. Charles R. Bird, of Greensburg. 0 AGED MAN DIES Phillip Walters, 95, one of Elkhart county’s oldest residents, died Thursday night at the home , of Mrs. Joseph Sworeland, five miles wes* of New Paris, where he had made hi 3 home for the last .30 years. Infirmities oi age were the cause of death. Mr. Walters was bom in France in 1831, and was 30 years old when he came to the United States. He was 95 years, three months and 18 days old when he died. The deceased served sixyears in the r reach war and four years in the Civil war. He was the last of a family of 22 children. Surviving are two nephews, Fred, erf Illinois and Dan of near New Paris, and one niece, Mrs. Jacob Weaver, .of near Nappanee. Funeral services were held Sunday afternoon at the home. Burial in the Union Center cemetery. Rev. P. J. Kauffman, of Wakarusa, officiated. DIES SUIDENLY dell Bogess, 37, of Adrian, Mich., died Sunday night at the hekne of his mother, Mrs. E. B. Hindman, west otf Fort Wayne on the Lincoln highway. Bogess had returned from town and went to his room to retire when he was stricken. Dr. L. B. Schneider, deputy coroner, conducted a post motem and expressed the belief that Bogess died of poison. The contents of the stomach will be sent ■o a chemist for an analysis. Bogess came to Fort Wayne to visit during the holiday season. Bogess was a World War veteran and served in Siberia. He was born in Syracuse. m .mmueTnimkjos stunt The police was called to a certain house at Warsaw one night last week and there found an indignant wife performing the “Maggie and Jiggs” stunt. Maggie threw a jardiniere at Jiggs, who happened to come home late that night, but missed him and the missile went through a plate glass window in the door. No arrests were made as the police considered it a family row. SLAPPED MAYOR’S FACE I Mrs. Helena Welch, clerk in the city light deuartanent at l Anderson. Indiana, was dismissed from service. She went to Mayor F. M. Williams, whom she be- ‘ lieved to be responsible for her I dismissal, and when he refused to discuss her dismissal, she ’ slapped his face. i o ‘ “Almost a lady” with Marie r | Prevost and Harrison Ford, at II Cyrstal, Ligonier.

High School manual training pupils recently completed a five-room bungalow which they sold for $5,000 at auction. The lot was donated by business men. Some of the materials were donated but much was purchased. The boys constructed the building from masonry to polished floors and white-tiled bath, wide fire-place and built in kitchen appliances. The public opening and inspection was a municipal affair, and the building was pronounce i perfect in every detail. This is a real practical job of craftsmanship that is worth while, and could be followed by any connmnity. OIJ)VagE~ What is it ‘hAt brings about old age? Is it the passage of days and years? Not necessarily. For we find old alien at 50 and young men at 60. A man begins to grow old when he begins to look backward instead of forward, when he begins to review instead of to plan, when he begins to recount what he has achieved instead of seeking still to achieve, when he sees his greatest task already’ done, his best thoughts already thought, his deepest feelings already felt, his aspirations already realized. He is still a young man if he retains the essence otf youth—the power of looking forward.

NEG RO DEY ELOPM ENT Mordecai W. Johnson worked n Chicago as a waiter to earn' an education. He graduated of Howard University. Washington, C„ a college with 2,0 U) students. Since freedom from slaver;/ Dr. Johnson says American Negroes have acquired oroperty in , he United Slates valued at sl.800,000,000 and now owns 34,000 square miles of land. There are , now 34,000 Neero churches with (more than 4,C00,000 m mbers and these churches are independent and self-sustaining. Ten thousand Negro men ami woman during the las. 65 years have obtained degrees in universities and colleges of United States, and have produced research work of the first rank and illiteracy in the race in America has been reduced since emancipation from 90 to 22 per cent. * o Spirit Behind School Band Makes Champion Elkhart, Ind.—lt's the spirit of a town, and not the number of its in- • habitants that determines tiie size and quality of its high school band, ac- i cording to Janies F, Boyer, widely | known musician and supervisor of the Conn Music Center here. As proof of his contention, Mr. Boyer cites the case of Joliet/ Illinois, home of America's 1926 champion high school band. Census figures give the population of Joliet as under 50.000, yet public-spirited fathers and musically- ambitious sems hive here made possible a 65-piec«d'rize-winning band. In< their natty full-dress uniforms, the hoys made a sensation as they marched down the streets of Fostoria. Ohio, on their first lap toward national band honors. Find Poor Pupils Eager as Rich to Study Music . That the school children of the poor are just as eager to learn music as their more wealthy schoolmates is shown in a survey of school music in the high schools of Springfield, Mo., by the Conn Music Center. Three per cent more pupils were found to be studying music in the Reed Junior high school, located in the poorer section ot Springfield, than in the Jarrett Junior high, in the more wealthy sec tion of the city. The survey also brought out that in ( Springfield high schools, pupils studying music are twenty-five per cent more efficient in their school work than children who have never taken maaic lessons.

COU THOMPSON’S REPORT fj \ 9 Col. Carmi Thompson, the President’s special investigator cf Philippine conditions, has submitted his report and reccun•mendations. Advance infonnationfrom the White House indiee. es that the President proposes to give the Filipinos a new deal, involving the grant of virtually eomplete autonomy and independence eventually. First,- however, must come the develop inent •of natural resources, particularly rubber. While the Filipinos welcome industrial development they are ’ intelligent enough to know that much of the rubber industry ft the worli tochy depends on slavery. C mpetition Swlth an industry' dependent on peonage means reducing Philippine population to that standard. This seeims to be the dividing line between Filipino leaders and Ameri ican exploiters, and in spite oil fine words they may be expected to figb.t this proposition to thb last ditch. Theylbeli£fe in themI selves, ard believe in the right I of self delermina'ion.. They have ' g eat pYogress int this direc--1 tion and mrght do much better if given a free hand. Cuba made a 1 success of it and the Fillipinos are equally progressive.' • o ;—— TREES Perhaps the greatest single obstacle to the gapid spread of timber growing in the United according to Chief Greeley of the Federal Department of Agriculture. is'°”*the unstable ownership of forest kind which contemplates only temporary use or benefit from land. o .
