Dr. Baer has served for thirty-three years as a physician and surgeon among the poor women of India, and the story of her experiences is one of the most gripping ever heard. Some months ago when Dr. Baer was presenting an address before the Lutheran student club of the University of Michigan, at Ann Arbor, she was severly attacked by a delegation of Hindu students who challenged her at every poin in her address. With a valient ring in her voice she completely repulsed the Hindu students, and they afterwards admitted that she was the best posted American they had ever heard discuss East Indian affairs. The sacred concert presented by the popular Trinity Lutheran choir of Ft. Wayne .Thursday evening was a real treat for the large audience which gathered to hear them. Trinity choir, working under a new director this year, seems to surpass even its excellent ability of former years. Saturday night will fie fun night for those at Oakwood- “ Stunt Night” is the feature on the program. In former years the Saturday night’s program has been a great round of hilarity. Hundreds of Lutherans from all points, in northern Indiana are expend to gather ftt o»k= wood Sunday and those from, southern Michigan are expected to gather at Oakwood Sunday for the big Lutheran rally which has closed the summer assembly for the past few years.

Local Firm Suffers Loss The building and contents of of the Rippy and Dillen Motor Transfer Co., was completely destroyed by fire last Saturday morning about three o’clock, in Goshen with a loss amounting to SIOO,OOO. Included in the contents of the building were 11 motor trucks,B of which were completely destroyed by fire. Three of the burned trucks were new one which had never been used. One truck was loaded with a fine ton cargo of drugs from the Meyer Bros. Drug Co., which was being transfered to a new store at Mishawaka. A short circut in a motor truck is believed to have caused the fire. Soon after the firemen began pouring water on the building several explosions scattered fire and debris in all directions. Drums of oil stored inside Jor use in the trucks and gasoline tanks exploded in rapid succession. The walls of the building soon collapsed. Insurance was carried on both the building and contents, ‘ o —,— ATTEND PASSION PLAY Among those from here who attended the Passion Play given at Winona, Friday and Saturday nights were Mr. and Mrs. George Colwell, Mr and Mrs. A.

BLOOD POISONING CAUSES DEATH Mrs. Frank Mock, 70. died at the Goshen hospital Saturday j morning at 3:30, after an illness if two months. Death was due to blood poisoning resulting from erysipelas.

Roscoe Mock, of South Bend: 1 bi other, Sherman Stewart, of Syracuse; a sister, Mrs. fra Mock if Plymouth. Funefal services were h eld Monday afternoon at 2:30 at North Webster Brethern church vith Rev. Werstler.of Syracuse. Burial will be at North Webster. Stalk Borer Abundant For several years the common stalk borer has caused losses in flower and vegetable gardens and in tomatoe and corn fields throughout Indiana. It ! ias received more than passing notice by corn growers be•ause of the invasion of the European corn borer, according to J. J. Davis, head of the entonology department of the Purdue University Agricultural Station. The stalk borer is quite different from the corn borer. It is present earlier, the corn borer not showing up until late July or August, and it is brown and white striped while the corn borer is nearly uniformly gray or cream colored. The stalk borer burrows in the center of almost any thick stemmed ‘plant, causing the top to wilt. An understanding of the life history of this common stalk borer will explain the control and aid in preventing its appearance another seasou. The adult is a moth and appears in the fall to lay eggs in grassy and the edges of fields. Remaining over winter in the egg stage, the small larvae hatching in the spring at first feed the stems of grass and timothy, ’later migrating to thicker St em med plants. They may go from one plant to another so that a single larva is capable of destroying a number of plants. This life history explains the importance of plowin.g under or burning grassy and weedy fence borders during the winter, to destroy the overwintering eggs. Where the borers infest tomatoes or flower garden plants, one may secure a reasonable amount of relief Ry hand destruction of the burera. This can be dqne by pinching the stalk, begining' at the point where the excrement is issuing from the opening and continuing th” pinching processto the p«mt where the larvais feeding. Or one might use a lung wire to* thrust info the burrow to kill the worm. This hand process wifi enable one to save someof the infested plants and will prevent infestation of new plants which is likely to occur if the borer kills its first host and must seek live plants to e<gnplete its development... It is advisahh? In some cases vbfu is infested to pull or cut off at the ground the infested plants and these should be promptly burned or else carried to the barn lot and sod te eattle or chickens. The infested plants are usually of pe further use, so destruction will eliminate the chance of the borers infestingother corn plants and will minimize the number the next brood. fTREASURY reports $185,000,000 SURPLUS The Government closed, its fiscal year 30 with its finances i" a “highly satisfactory state,” and with its records of balanced budgets unbroken, according to a statement by the Secretary of the Treasury, Andrew W. Mellon, issued at the close of business and summarizing the results of the year’s operations. The surplus of recipts over expenditures was $185,000,000, Mr. Mellon said in announcing the receipts tat $4, itupres at $3,848,000,000. Public debt retirements, though somewhat less than heretofore, amounted to $673,000,000 and carried the outstanding debt of the nation below $17,000,000,000 for the first time since the World War.

I THINGS TO THINKABOUT Review of Things by the Editor • As He Sees Them on the Surface. Production And Prices 1 A League of Nations survey shows that the world’s production of foodstuffs in 1927. as against that of 1913, increased more than twice as fast as its population in the same period. It has also been discovered that 21 per cent more foodstuffs were grown for a population that rose by only 9 per cent. But producton of raw materials has outstripped food production by 22 per •ent. In spite of this tremendeous -urplus in food and industrial )roducts, half the world is hungy and illy clothed, nearly 10 per ent idle and the cost of livingheld at top prices. The law of upply and demand seems to lave disappeared along thelines jroposed to “conserve” oil protection. Work for Safety The tragic phase of automobile Natalities is that most accidents ire unnecessary. Yet every year housands of people pay with heir lives for carelessness, reck•ssrtess and incompetence of Irivers. Compulsory insurance can nevroffset this irreparable loss. At ts best it can only indemnify. It >egins at the wrong end of the iroblem. Newspaper headline: “Man 50 takes his first ride in auto ind swears off.” Must have been )Ut with one of these modern lianas and had to walk home. Men who try to achieve distinction by doing no more than hey are paid to do, usually get ost in the crowd.. A man does not have to exercise his brains to knock, but he must have some gray matter in, his head to build. And just to think that there was a time—and not so very 'ong ago—that we thought pink heeks was a sure sign of health. Some stop at a grade crossing Jthers cease. Half the world wonders how the other half does it A successful farmer is one who, can sell his farm to a golf club. We know many a fellow who would be satisfied with his job if he could get somebody else to work it for him. Congress will soon be called'' upon to establish a three-mile limit of ownership of the air ibove one’s land. But who will get the benefit of the franchise ‘to be disposed of? o Did you ever notice that when folks start out to wish a nasty ob on you they always begin by handing you a lot of applesauce about your wonderful executive ability? Blonds blush more than brulettes, according to a scientfic investigator. But that doesn’t necessarily mean that blondes blush such an awful lot. If you want to grumble about something or other, get out back of the garage. One week from San Francisco to London by air and water. So the earth shrinks! The law of supply and demand is a one-sided affair, for those who have the supply do the demanding. It’s too bad, but an overproduction of road-hogs never brings down the price If anybody has to go to war we hope the first fellow conscripted is the one who blows his horn behind us when we are held up by the traffic and can’t move. Senator King is asking for an investigation of bank loans. We trust that this will include a provision for finding out where we can get one. This Week’s Puzzle Puller Why is it that a black cow gives white milk that makes yellow butter? For the very same reason that blackberries are red when they are green,
