LOTS OF FUN The fur industry is a surprisingly big one, even in a county like Whitley, where you might imagine there are few fur bearing animals. Last year it was estimated that $25,000 worth of fur was trapped in this county. Muskrats, racoon, opposum, mink and perhaps a fox or two make up the list. In records which are preserved in Paris, tht French explorer LaSalle tells of the particularly fine otter skins which he got from the Indians at a point about thirty miles west of the “confluence of rivers.'’ southwest of Detroit, which is the present site of Fort Wayne That placed his trading station at about Larwill. The year was 1679-81, so LaSalle was the first white man to set foot on Whitley County soil, so far as recorded history discloses. „ — o NOTICE TO HEFRS. CREDITORS, ETC.

WHY WE LAUGH Men and women laugh becaus* they are happy or amused. This at least, has been the universa theory’; but a London psycholo gist comes forward with the self contradictory theory that th really happy man never laugh and that the unhappy man can not laugh. According to this au thority, the laugh is a hideou grimace, the smile alone bein, beautiful and permissible. It all depends upon who doe: the laughing whether it is beau tiful or comparable to the snar of the hyena- Perhaps it is be cause w’e are used to laughter thanks be unto Infinite Wisdom that these dieta will strike most of us as the twaddle of a seeker for notoriety. It is true tha* there are all sorts of laughter some of it unpleasant and som< aroused by a sense of the ludicrous. but in its more welcome sense the word betokens harmless merriment and a reflection of the charm and beauty of liv ing. —oMONEY TALKS This is an old one. but there are a few million young reader who may w-elcome it as some thing new.

Juday [ i w’ho inherited his father’s farm ! west of the Heck school house . 1 and north of Syracuse ,has them by the thousand on a tract of ground that was allowed to grow up with young trees. He is. now I reaping the benefits of the neg--1 lect, as it was thought by his neighbors. Chicago parties are making preparations to transfer map’e • trees four to six inches at th I base and transplant them. Th s I size will have to be carefully dug up and the whole body of I roots WTapped and covered for ■ the better protection on arriva •at their destination. A neglected and unpasture*’ sugar camp where the grounds • are rich will very soon become a i thicket of small maple trees !
