This premium list shows that there will be $171,745.60 spent in premiums and purses this year, SIO,OOO more than last year, and probably over $20,000 more than any other state fair is spending for purses and premiums. This book consists of 300 pages and is a book of such information that any good breeder who intends to show a herd of any kind of livestock should not fail to have one. There are premiums in this book for both men and women, old and young, and these premiums are for articles of all kinds grown, on the farm, also for articles, either luxuries or necessities, grown or made on the farm or in. the city. There are many classes exclusively for Indiana exhibitors. All entries close on August 14th. Those showing any of the special classes may also enter their exhibits in open classes, thereby doubling their chances of winning cash prizes, ribbons and medals. The Fair will not only be educational and profitable, but it will bring pleasures as well as honors to think of in the years to come. One of the State Fair premium lists can be had by addressing a post card to E. J. Barker, Secre-tary-Treasurer of the Indiana Board of Agriculture, Room 212, State House, Indianapolis, Ind. A FINAL RECKONING One of Henty’s greatest plays, produced by a huge Universal company of popular principles and star riders in twelve surprise episodes. Thrill upon thrill — and a surprise climax ’in each episode, a new and glorious treat of wild and ready life in the Australian bush on the other side of the World. See the native cowboys who do marvels with the deadly bull-whip, a new setting for virile, red-blooded, heman adventure, romance, heroism and speedy action. It is truly amazing. Coming to the Community Theater, commencing Friday 12 and 13th. DR. WARNER If you want to consult Dr. Warner, phone Goshen 176, for appointment. It may save you dissapointment. 11-lt Read the Real Estate ad on the last page.

Now Back, To Standard Time The clocks were turned baclc to standard time again last Sat? urday after a few weeks of Daylight Saving Time. Quite a bit of dissatisfaction had been expressed over the fast time and after some consideration, a petition was presented to the town council to repeal the ordinance for the daylight saving time, but owing to the fact that one of the members was absent, nothing could be done regarding the matter. In order not to lose any time, a declaration was circulated last week which was signed by about forty business men declaring their willingness to revert back to standard time, and Saturday was the appointed day for it to go into effect. The action not having received any publicity, created quite a bit of confusion insofar as some were governing themselves by the fast time while others were on standard time, but we trust by this time everybody will be informed of the change. o DAUGHTER ARRIVES Mr. and Mrs. Donald Bailey of Orland, Md., are the proud parents of a daughter, Judith Joan, who arrived June 25th. Mr. Bailey is a brother of Mrs. S. E. Rowdabaugh and is well known here, having lived here in the past. o Girl Scout, Camp.

When my contemporaries were driving Their coach through life with strain and striving, And raking ricks into heaps, And abley pleading in the courts, With smart rejoinders and retorts, Or where the Senate nightly keeps Its vigils, till their frames were fanned By rumor’s tongues throughout the land, I lived in quiet, screened, unknown, Pondering upon some stick or stone Or news of some rare book or bird, Latterly bought, or seen, or heard, Not wishing ever to set eyes on The swinging crowd beyond the* horizon, Tasting years of moderate gladness Mellowed by sundry days of sadness Shut from the noiste of (he, world without! 1 Hearing but' dimly its rush and rout.

Passing Os Another Pioneer Mrs. Jane Bushong, aged 87 years, 9 months and 9 days, passed away at her home here Saturday, July 6th, after an illness of several weeks. We, of this time, are apto to overlook the fact that only a very few of the real pioneers are left. One by one those who knew the covered wagon, camping through the wilderness, and the vicessitudes of the early days, are slipping away. One of the few remaining was Mrs. Sarah Jane Bushong who was well known and gr ea 11 y esteemed through the memory of the oldest citizens. Mrs. Bushong's father, Daniel Wolf, came to Elkhart county when she was only twelve years of age. They came in a covered wagon, camping in the wilderness and occupying two weeks on the journey. All went well and the family was very happy until the baby swallowed a pin, throwing a pall. of distress over all. But the baby survived, and was for many years known here as Mrs. Alphonso O’dell. Mr. Wolf homesteaded government land and the family knew all of.the hardships of “breaking a home out of the wilderness.” This family came from the sturdy Pennsylvania German stock and spoke the German language in the earlier days. Mrs, Bushong was married in 1859 to Daniel Brown, From that union two children were born, Mrs. Alice Tripp and Mrs. Sarah Catherne Deßra. In 1875 she was married to Eli Bushong. From this union two children also were born, Vern and George William Bushong, both residents of Syracuse. All qf the children surivive and are well known. The marriage to Daniel Brown seventy years ago was found recorded in the first record book of Elkhart Co., when certain data was desired recently in connection with Civil War service. Eli Bushpng, sq whom Mrs. Bushong was married in 1875, was also a Civil War veteran, and was known here for many years as an esteemed citizen and business man. His sons follow in his footsteps. Mrs. Bushong was taken very ill some weeks ago, and has suffered greatly at times, but showed the fortitude and the alert mind that has always characterized her td~ the very last. She has shown us a good example of sturdy living and courageous dying, a wonderful sense of humor, a careful solicitude f@r the wel- ( fare of all about her, infinite patience in suffering, and a bright and steady faith marked her closing days, even to the moment of her quiet passing. Funeral services were held at the M. E. Church, Monday ut 2:00 o’clock, the Rey. A- Armstrong qffjcjatiqg. Card of Thanks i We wish to express our apprec- < iation to all friends who were so kind to us during the' illness and < death of our beloved mother, especially for the many flqral offerings and the tempting foods that dear friends brought to her , during hep last days.

(THINGS TO THINK ABOUT I Review of Things by the Editor As He Sees Them on the Surface. What Is a Dollar This month the new small-siz-ed bills representing "money” will make their appearance. A peculiar feature of this money is that instead of being one kind there are five grades or classes —United States notes, Federal Reserve notes, silver certificates, gold certificates and national bank notes. ' Under the circumstances one is justified in asking "What is a dollar?” In all probability a pine shingle with the government’s “promise to pay” would be just as readily accepted, and buy just as many lutos, or just as much food stuff is any of the paper notes. The certificates redeemable in gold or silver are a very small’ fraction of the new issue. All the others must necessarily be “greenbacks.” The population of South America has grown more rapidly than that of any other part of the ■vorld by some 40% since 1913. Its production of foodstuffs and raw materials has just kept pace with its increase in population. >ut its international trade’ has las grown only half as much as ts population.
