As we look back over the Sgen we observe that every nation has had • some dom.nant thing or ideal to offer its people. It may have been art, religion, war, athletics, or many things, but whatever it was, it occupied the interest of all, and motivated them so such super efforts and accomplishments that the nation went down in history representative of that particular thing. Since the inception of the United States, there have been, ideas and Conceptions of what the ideals of a nation should be. Some of them were very good, and some were very bad. Without a doubt, the outstanding declaration of all time concerning human rights and privileges, is the Constitution of the United States. Strange, it is, that we are not recognised throughout the world because of this democratic masterpiece. Industry is the watchword which Characterizes our nation. Never in history has any nation ever achieved in away comparable to our industrial progress during the last seventy-five years. It has, in a waybecome our religion; material progress at any cost has, and is, dominating our country. All countries throughout history have broken ati their peak. I hope that I am not assuming an indefensible view when 1 venture the prediction that our industrial progress cannot ■ continue the next fifty years as it has the past fifty. We have so concentrated on industry that we have neglected the business of 'living. Our garden of life has grown up to Weeds. Our industrial progress cannot be- purchased at such a price that it will bankrupt thcrmoral back-bone of our nation. . > - The next years must witness a substantial progress in the business of life, or we will find ourselves in a deteriorated morara. ——_o——' MAIN STREET WHITTLINGS Hilary Bachman completed hi§ service as substitute rural mail carrier yesterday, by; carrying the mail on Fred Selfs route, Tuesday and Wednesday, wfiiie Self enjoyed two days vacation, due him before he retires. Bachman is now trying to figure nut some way of obtaining a pension, as regular carrier, Self, being retired on a pension, means the route is abolished, and Bachman is without a route on which to substitute. Someway should be decided upon, to remove the snow that is piled high along both sides of Main street after a heavy snow storm.

Yesterday a traveling man in the journal office, discussing insurance policies to take care of the widow after one’s sudden death said he did not believe in insurance, that after he died he wanted his wife to know that something was missing, that he didn’t want his death to mean a large income for her and a reason for celebration. 0 - RAPID REPORT - K A scientist has estimated that the sound of a big gun travels at the bate of 1,087 feel per second, or approximately one-half m fast as rumor.,—Loe Angeles Times. /so ROUND TRIP TO (Chicago Every Week-end Travel la comfortable coaches.

TROUT SEASON OPENS APRIL 1 INDIANAPOLIS, March 29—With he trout season opening for Indiana streams on -April 1, announcement vas made today by Virgil M. Simnons, Commissioner of the Department of Conservation, for the development of trout fishing in the tate through the stocking of all unable streams. Arrangements have .heady been made to obtain a number of trout fry for planting in itreams where conditions are favorible. .. One of the reasons for improving md developing trout fishing in Inliana is the opportunity it affords .or the angler to enjoy his favorite port at a time of the year when the >vater£ are closed to him in the pur--uit of the usual game fish. The I rout provide real sport for the anger during April, May and June, he months when bass, bluegills, ock bass, crappies and many other kih are rearing their young and ieed protection. At present there are several trout dreams in Indiana, according to a survey made during the winter. LaPorte County has had trout fishing or years; LaGrange County has ■ume good brook trout streams that re now closed but which feed into digeon Kit er, making the river good ishing. There is a good brook trout Stream near Mishawaka in St. Joseph County and at the headwaters i >f the Kunkakee River is the famous Potato ,Creek in which was caught he rainbow trout that captured a < prize in a national contest. There are other small streams in St. Joseph County in tshkh rainbow trout have been found. A report tells of rainbow trout that were in Brandywine Creek in Hancock County and of several southern Indiana streams n which some trout have been found. ■ DIES IN ROCHESTER Henry L.

FRONT STREET I am wondering how many of the old folks remember a long time ago, when from all the country round about neighbors gathered at the log school house with its great big fire place, roaring like the main entrance of a foundry at pouring hot metal time. How there were sleigh bells, large as one’s fist in the center of the string, growing smaller on each side by degrees, toward the big brass buckle, how there were other strands of bells all one size, two rows on one belt all the way around. Y’ou could hear the bells chiming in all directions in the early evening when' the Gilbert’s school captain gathered a sled load for a spelling bee at Hard Scrabble school house. Then came the master with his load of boys and girls, all bundled into one large sleigh filled up with an abundance of straw and tucked up like a pie at Christmas time, under eight or ten Buffalo robes. Then there would jbe several cutters from New Paris, each with a young man and maiden, then he would say, keep off, myself and Susie, us two and no more—Then a pair of bob sleds from Wehrly’s school mounted with a largS wagon bed tilled up and pressed with straw and running over with a smaller humanity picked up enrbii.e.from a dozen homes and all as merry .as a bunch of kittens in a basket of cotton. The school house where the spelling bee was held was swept and garnished, boughs of evergreen were hung around the smoked walls, he paper wads, evidence of some mischevious boys when the teacher’s back was turned, were removed from .he ceiling, pails of water were carried from the spring and put on a bench and a tin hung on a nail nearby. The big boys had replenished the lire till the old chimney fairly jumped wi.h the roaring flames flying out of the top like the flames of a foundry cupalo. The masters were here with their schools from Hex, A ehrly's, New Paris, Gilberts and dig Church and such a hum and moving to and fro was like the BotTrd of trade in the Chicago grain pits. The ferrule would come down on the desk with a bang like the house and senate in Washington. The captains would be on each side of the house, front seats, back seats, rostrum and aisle, all filled. The preliminaries would begin, the choosing of spellers of each side. Mary Jones is called, out comes a round eyed girl, such a blushing little thing. The other leader chooses James Brown, out comes James, an awkward fellow with a head of red hair surrounding his brow. The girls laugh at him but what he doesn’t know in the elementary spelling book isn’t worth knowing. Next is c; lied Jane Neff. Out trips' Jane, fluttering as a bride and takes her seat next to the caller. She is a pretty gul but a very poor speller. You hear them uhisper through tfie crowd, why that is John’s sweetj heart, and so on they go calling ! names until both sides of the house are tilled. Afterwhile they have recess to the front yard, all the young folks go and form a large ring, then handsome John Murrey goes around the

ring twice, taps Grace Weaver on the shoulder, then there is a race, but John wins and takes Grace’s place. This play is still going when the bell rings.. They all take their places in the house, standing up. Then the real contest and battle begins. Down goes one after another. John Neff, of the Gilbert school is the champion speller. The is dismissed and such a time getting started home with the sleigh bells ringing. The roads were drifted, so many of the young folks were spilled out in the snow. Sometimes it was after midnight when we got back home. UNCLE LEW. aoN. Mr. and Mrs. Eston Kline and family and Mrs. Lee Henwood were Fort Wayne visitors, Saturday.

. BOOK REVIEW. (By Bessie Witherel Ballard) “Private Worlds,” by Phyllis Bottome, Houghton Mifflin Company, published March 28th, 82.50. will surely be one of the outstanding books of the Spring season. The locale of the story is laid ,in a Psychopathic Hospital in the West of England. While the story is about the doctors and the staff of the hospital—a thrilling account of a love affair; a change of management in the hospital with its aftermath of disappointments and consequent hatreds and dispair—some very interesting anecdotes are told about the patients as well; giving some surprising information about mental conditions, largely unknown to the outside world. Before writing ‘ Private Worlds” the author spent some time in a psychopathic > hospital, gathering data for her story. While the doctors thought she was studying the patients, she was really studying the
