LEESBURG NEWS Word from the bedside of C. A. Hall, president of the Peoples bank, who is confined in a hospital at Bellefontaine, Ohio, is to the effect that he is improving. Mr. Hall in company with his wife, was on his way to Columbus, and had stopped at Bellefontaine for some repairs to their car when he was struck by a passing automobile and serious ly injured. One wheel passed over his head and another over his body. When picked up it was thought he was dead. At the hospital he was found to be suffering from three broken ribs, broken collar bone, dislocated shoulder blade and his face was badly cut. Mrs. Hall, a semi-in-valid, suffered a nervous collapse and was ordered to bed. The Leesburg Greys Sunday afternoon defeated Elkhart’s city league champions 10 to 3 in the best gane played here this season. Ferverda, Leesburg’s twirler, fanned out 13 men and allowed only five hits. The game scheduled with Warsaw was called off on account of the death of Bert Brant, father of Warsaw’s catcher. Thursday the Greys go to Wakarusa, where they will play the Nappanee Tigers as one of the leading features of the celebration. H. E. Kinsey, manager of the Leesburg Grain and Milling Co., while returning home last week from Zanesville, Ohio, in his machine, lost his pocketbook containing $lO6 in cash and about SBOO in checks. To date no trace of the missing purse has been found. Mr. and Mrs. Alex Hani drove to Latta, Ohio, Saturday for a visit with Ben Stoller and family until Monday night. An effort is now being made to have that part of the Dixie Highway along Main street from the end of the paved streets to the township line paved while the contractor is here working on the Starner road, a part of the Dixie Highway. The distance is 64 rods and that part of the street is half in the town and the other half outside the corporation, so thatvits construction is a rather complicated affair and the advice of the State Highway Commission has been asked in the matter. The first co-operative sale in Leesburg this fall will be held Sept. 9. The price of waler melons took a sudden tumble in Leesburg Saturday. Melons that haff been ; selling at from 35 to 50 cents dropped to 15 and 20 cents.

cause of the fire is assigned by the Township Trustee as “spontaneous combustion by new hay put in on old hay; no ventilation.” j i Many destructive fires have been caused by the spontaneous ignition of hay, especially'clover and alfalfa, both in mows and in' stacks. The first cutting of al-; salsa seems to be the most dan- ’ gerous in this respect. If hay of ; this kind has rain or dew on it ior if the stalks are not cured . thoroughly when it is put up, the moisture will cause fermen- • tation, which may produce sufficient heat to start a fire. 1 The combustion always starts ! in a part of the mow or stack j at some distance from' the sur- j face, and may take place from i a few days to several weeks as-:; ter the hay is put up. There is |; little danger from this source ; < if the hay is properly cured. I The great danger, according to the Fire Marshal, seems to be from the storing of new hay on ■; top of old hay. The number of ; fires from this cause has led him i

One factor which seems to play a large part in the decision of young people to go to Angola to continue their education at TriState College is the ideal environment furnished by this pretty little city. Os about 3,000 population, it has the delightful atmosphere that can be found only in a small college town, and

every influence is good. | Tri-State College has never been connected with any secular organizatioh and no conscious influence is exerted upon any student to affect his church relations. However, the atmosphere ■ of the school is healthfully re-1 ligious and the faculty welcomes the co-operation of the churches 1 represented.in Angola. The • pervading spirit of the college is that which comes from a group of people who have gathered together for the distinct purpose of gaining benefit. Here students come to settle down to the business of preparing to earn a Ijving.. Yet there is plenty of opportunity for wholesome recreation, and clean athletics and social affairs are fostered by the college.
