It was a very dilficult thing for some of them to order what they really wanted, as they were very much excited, and besides, they want-, ed the' very best of pictures. (But they should remember that the result of the photographer’s work is dependent largely on the quality of material with # which he starts!) Nevertheless, ail the pictures were finally ordered, even if some of the Seniors did run home to ask their parents. Included among those who had their pictures taken were Jimmie Slabaugh, the youngest member of the Senior class, and the members of the basketball team. The Honor Roll for the sth • month is as follows: Seniors — Katie Bitnpr; Juniors—none; Sophomores — Martha Hutsell, Mamie Wogoman; Freshmen. — Velva Brown, Mary Darr, Elvin Doll, Mary Jensen; Bth grade— Harriet Bachman, Alice Coy, Joe Freeman, Joe Kindig, Elizabeth Ward; 7th grade—Frances Houston, Leonard Hibschman, Betty White. (Helen Schroeder, Shiriey Miles and James Freeman were eligible for the Honor Roll except in attendance.) Last week a marvelous electric clock connected with a bell system was installed in the office. This came as a surprise to some of the students who were frightened Monday morning by the ringing of the bell in the study hall. The bells are not yet installed in all of the rooms, brit we are hoping- they soon will be, as it will give the teachers a rest from ringing the old one, which has about served its time. Mr. Slabaugh is well pileased with the attitude of the students in study hall No. 2 for the month of January. As there were only three receiving the low grade “X" in deportment, he believes we can continue the method of self-government employed at present in this room. i Last Wednesday morning, Rev. R. G. Foust conducted chapel, and gave a talk on “Ideals” which was appreciated by all. Miss Ruby Mellinger of Pur-

’CUBE LOSES TWO GAMES Isn’t it a shame to have to | write up the failures of our * teams as well as the victories? Why not overlook them and look „ at the bright side of it, for every s cloud has a silver lining. You probably noticed that we no longer have an honor roll! Why? Because it is not only the boys that make the basket, that are | good players, but also other J members of the team. We will [ let you use your own reasoning : as to who are the best players, ’ as a£l people have different ideas. r (For the benefit of those who ' do not understand: F. G. —F*eld Goals; F.

HERE IS FEBRUARY AGAIN 5 B-r-r-r-! r Blustery old February is here ? once more—the shortest month j of the year—the month of presij dent’s birth, their passing, and j last but not least. Groundhog y day. So that’s that for Febru--7 ary. j On the second, Mr. Groundj hog came out of his den to see p how the weather was. In some \ parts of the country he saw his r shadow, and in others, not. Where the sun shone, he returnl ed to his bed for six more weeks ■ of Veep; where it was cloudy, he , remained in the open—because [ spring was just around the cor- .. ner, warm and pleasant. But who ever heard of this coming true? The chances arc. there will be no difference in the weather, Groundhog or no Groundhqg! Recording sorrow in February, this nation Bowed in silence on the third day, back in 1924, when Mr. Woodrow Wilson passed away. Then on the 12th of the month it will honor a man of men, Abraham Lincoln. He was born in 1809. Next in line the United States will turn its attention the 22nd, when George Washington came into this world away back in 1732. St. Valentine’s Day falls on the 14th and always will, but the old-fashioned comic valentines are just about forgotten, yet, like the old songs, may come back to their own in time. The first confederate congress convened on February 4, 1861; Aaron Burr was born February 6, 1756; General Sherman was born February 8, 1820; Canada ceded to England February 10, 1763; Thomas A.

LIBRARY NOTES . These children attended the [ Story Hour Saturday: Meredith . Mench, Annie and Jeanette [ Causer, Betty Miller, James r £utt, Robert and Nelson Hinder, 1 Burton Ntfes, Juanita Geiger, Martha Jane Kern, Christine . Kline, Lucille Osborne, and Su- . s&nne Rapp. There will be no . more story hours.^. . Betty Miller told the children two fairy tafes Saturday. It . seemed strange to hear so small i a child tell correctly and interestingly, stories to a group of children. Then read from the treasured vciunie The poem of thy choice, And lend to the rhyme of the poet The beauty of thy voice. And the night shall be filled with music, And the cares that infest the day, Shall fold their tents like the Arabs, And as siCently steal' away. —Longfellow's “Day is Done.” The circulation increased in January 332 over the previous month, 196 over the previous year, 384 over five years ago and 1307 over ten years ago. —o ABRAHAM LINCOLN The Lincoln _ Historical Research Foundation has discovered that there have been at least 30 Abraham Lincolns during three generations, resulting in much confusion, complicated by the fact that there were two Thomas Lincolns in Kentucky at the same time, both of whom had sons named Abraham. Abraham Lincoln, grandfather of the president, was born in Berks county, Pa., in 1744. He proved to Virginia and was married in 1770. He was killed by Indians in 1786, leaving a widow and five children, the youngest, Thomas, being the father of the president. At this time there were no less thaP seyep Abraham Lincolns, and when the president was p assassinated, there were ten. The one-roopied cabin, 12x17, in which the famous president was born, is located 65 miles below Louisville, Ky., and has became a famous shrine for all Americans. It was here that his doting mother cooked the corn-bread, wild rabbit and turkey; here he slept on the floor with his older sister, and here he learned his a, b, c’s. Today the cabin is restored and decorated with inscriptions —famous thoughts expressed by this famous man, among them being: “Let us have faith that right makes might, and in that faith, let us to the end dare to do our duty.” “Stand with anybody that stands right; stand with him while he is right, and part with him when he goes wrong.” Abraham Lincoln was one pf the two or three greatest men of the nineteenth century —qne of the greatest men in the world’s history. It is well that ,his birthday be hold in sacred memory of the lessons of his life and works be impressed on the rising generation. BIRTHS Mr. and Mrs. Caril Wright are the parents of a son, named Jack Carlisle, born Saturday, February 2, at the home of Mrs. Wright’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. Leroy Moore of Warsaw. o W. C. T. U.

THE CASE OF DOW BUSH (Copy of Dr. Saltzniail’s Letter) 5 To Whom It May' Concern; * This is to certify that upon ' the arrival of Dow Bush at our 1 institution on September 7, 1928, ’ Mrs. G. W. Wyatt of Syracuse, | Indiana, placed to his credit ! with me the sum of Five Hundred Dollars, ($500.00), which * has been expended as follows: Room, hath and mam--1 tenance from beptem- : ber 7, to Dec. 14, a toL tal of 14 weeks at $35 ' ; per week $490.00 Extras, personal laundry and sundries ~ 6.53 $496.53 Leaving a credit balance on Dec. 14, of $ 3.47 Total $600.00 This sum, $3.47, plus a $50.00 contribution from Dow Bush’s folks and other small contributions given him from time to time, has been his sole rriesins of support from December 14, 1928 until January 25, 1929, a total of six weeks. According to a new agreement, a sum of $28.00 per week was to be paid for his maintenance from December 14 until January 25, which would be $168.00; contributions totaling $57.00, have been received, leaving his account in arrears on the 25th day of January to extent of slll.OO. Not including my professional services rendered Mr. Bush, I am willing to donate the sum hitherto mentioned, of slll.OO, as a charitable act to one who is unable to provide sufficient means for his maintenance while at our institution, and 1 hope sufficient funds can be raised to keep Mr. Bush here until April, 1, 1929. Realizing that fimds cannot be procured in a few hours or days, I will further donate 2 weeks maintenance until such funds can be procured, before returning Mr. Bush to his relatives and friends. Mr. Bush needs financial assistance, and 1 do not know of a better cause that a person could give to than to aid one who would have been dead, had it not been for the Mineral Baths and professional service that <has been rendered him while at our institution. Hoping the above statement and letter will meet with the entire approval of Mr. Bush’s relatives and friends, and that I can be of further assistance to Mr. Bush, I will remain, Yours very truly, Dr. W. E- Saltzman. P. S. —According to a new agreement just reached between Mrs. G. W. Wyatt and myself, the new rate per week will be $25.00, (Copy of Dow Bush’s Letter) Dear Friends; I wish tq thank my many friends for making it possible for me tq have the advantage of the professional care and treatment that I am receiving, and to assure you that your money has not been spent in vain, for my suffering is nothing to compare with what it was when I came here. Also, my physical condition is improving daily and I feel assured that health is just around the corner, so I know' your giving has already been blessed Words cannot express my gratitude to Brother Wyatt and family for the sacrifice they made for me in their home and then to bring me here where I am receiving sympathy and charity from Dr: Saltzman and his helpers. In all sincerity, Dow Bush, Notice Dr. W. E. Saltzman’s statement and also Dow Bush’s, in this paper, whom you remember as a good neighbor, and then of his severe illness of several years, part time in the hospital and then at home Until his home was broken up, too sad to mention for all concerned. What I shall say is just and due to him as a sufferer, no one only those who understand him could sympathize as they shouldIn not having space tq detail particulars, will say this, we gladly gave him care until he could be leeated in some hospital by his frjends. When they failed, and he felt that the steam baths we gave him allayed much of his pain, and wishing to remain, he gladly paid us until his money gave out. All this time his friends had tried to place him in a hospital. Failing to do so, we continued his care 22 weeks, and on hearing of Dr. Saltzman’s institution, feeli ing we had done all we could for his rfeCoVery. After an interview

I with Dr. Saltzman, finding our j means were not sufficient to I i justiiy the doctor to begin such a long standing case, we leal i justmed to asK his friends for ’ aid to continue his care. , .

Saltzman, who , has many living witnesses of ; s.miliar cases, wonderful heal- • mg they have received through i ins baths and professional Osteopathy treatments, these are the names and amounts of those wno have donated through me, to ivir. Bush’s benefits: The county gave me sllO for i past services, which made it possible for us. The Rev. G. W.

. THINGS TO J| THINK ABOUT j* Review of Things by the Editor As He Sees Them on n the Surface. j Individual. Responsibility j Everything in God s creation has a purpose, and every one r of us has talents, the use of which are needed to assure the full welfare of humanity, j The year 1928 has carried huI inanity forward at a fair pace; j science, invention, business and . government, as well, as religion and common righteousness have advanced. We rejoice in the achievements, but how much , credit can we claim • for our- , selves? In a community, any , unfaithfulness is felt by all. The ( greatest good cannot be attained until each contributes his portion commensurate with the talents he possesses. To criticise our government is often only a cheap way to extol j our own righteousness, or to hide our own sijis. How much have we contributed to the greatness of America during the last year? Let every critic hold his peace until he can come to the court with clean hands, until he has supported the government to the greatest extent in his own life and conduct. In government we scutinize the achievements~bf the party in power. But as regards our own individual life we are frequently overoptomistic or we lack the courage to face the facts. AVby, Os Course Speaking of mugging, let us relate to you this instance, which happened in a parlor in a house south of town. “What would you do if I turned you down?’’ she asked shy*ly, as they sat on the parlor sofa. The young man looked straight ahead, but said nothing. After a few moments of silence lum with her elbow and said; “Didn’t you hear my question?” He looked around apprehensively. “I beg your pardon,” he replied, “I thought you were addressing the lamp.” Ages Ago Pa,’ said Mrs. Methuseleh to the oldest of the race, “I wish you’d speak to Abimelech. He’s been puling BRdad’s hair again.” "I °mme see.” quoth the patriarch. “how old is Bim now?” "He 11 be 247 his next birthday.” “Well, now, you must ma'ke allowances for the boy, Ma. He’s young yet.” This paper has and aiways will advocate trading at home, cause we firmly believe that your money should be spent where it is earned, to give you and others the most benefits to be had—and by trading at home we mean also—buying printing at home. Let us Serve you. A sruy don’t more than get his Christmas bills paid than they commence showing ladies’ spring hats. You may shut up the ironing board in‘the wall, but you can’t shut up the wife. We heard of a fellow who sent two dollars and a half to a man m Chicago to get an appliance to keep electric light bills down, and by return mail got a tencent paper-weight. A Pittsburgh man hugged a woman against her will and the jury awarded her $12,500 damages. Next time maybe he will be a little more careful about his pressing engagements. Os course there will be several women in the next Congress but we doubt whether that can increase the amount of conversation to any appreciable extent. There ain’t no such animal as the old-fashioned woman who’d say: “I’ll have to ask my husband first.”*, Some men are not really lazy; they just simply don’t want to injure their health by working between meals. If you want something to do, mind your own business. This Week's Puzzle Puller Question: What notes compose the most “favorite” tunes, and how many tunes do they compose?
