White Oak Violet Kauffman .Cedar Square THURSDAY, JULY 6, “I know not what the truth may be, I tell it as 'twas told to me."--Editor i^EAK an IMALS An unusual freak of nature made its appearance recently on the premises of John Miller, just east of Columbia City, when a calf was born there that has two mouths, four eyes, two tongues four nostrils, the equipment of the head being exactly sufficient for two heads. The calf is no doubt the greatest freak of the kind ever seen here, and very many of our people have gone out to the Miller place to see the curiosity, which is a well developed calf other than about the head. The little animal has as yet been unable to stand upon its feet, and Mr. Miller is feeding it from a bottle. The freak takes milk from the bottle in either of its mouths with equal relish. A calf, born without a tail, was recently shipped from Nappanee to Chicago. From Kansas conies the report of a pig having five ears. ______o — BARBERRY SURVEY TO BE MADE It has been anounced that another survey will be made in Kosciusko county, by the Barberry Eradication Committee to determine whether the common or purple barberry plants have been removed in certain sections of the county. This kind of barberry is responsible for the spread of the black stem rust, of wheat, oats, barley and rye, and the canvass is being made to enforce a ruling which requires its destruction. Persons having .purple barberry bushes should destroy them. -— o FORDS C. R. Hollett, the Ford dealer, received a carload of Ford cars yesterday.

CAMP ROOSEVELT Final arrangements have been j completed, and Camp Roosevelt ■ stands ready to welcome boys from 27 states in the union to its new campsite on Silver Lake, near LaPorte, Indiana. Officers and non-commissioned officers have been ordered to the camp by the U. S. war department, the high school faculty, athletic directors, Y. M. C. A. secretaries, physicians and nurses and other welfare secretaries stand ready to do their share in giving to these American lads the best summer’s outing that ever a boy j could have. “It’s going to be a healthy, happy summer for these boys. The program of the day consists of drills and lectures in the morning, and recreation and sports in the afternoon. Each student has a chance to compete for honors constantly, as competitive drills, athletic matches and meets are held every week. Swimming, shooting, boxing and excellence in drill are all rewarded. The Roosevelt medals are open for competition.” Major F. L. Beals, commanding the camp, has left for the camp, to supervise the final arrangements. A splendid program has been arranged for the summer season, and the entertainment promises to be of the very highest type. Although registrations for the first period have closed, this does - not mean that boys may not enter for the second period, which opens on July 26, and closes on August 15. Many vacancies still exist in the second period, and applications will be accepted if sent direct to Camp Roosevelt, Indiana. o HOW WAWASEE STARTED The Goshen Democrat gave an account in its “twenty-five years igo” column last week how Lake Wawasee was started as a summer resort. It stated in this article that in 1879 an association f sportsmen, among whom were Cd Harter, Harry King, Dr. Grabill, Harvey Eikenberry and Seth Henshaw of Wabash and George T. Ager of Goshen, was organized under the name of the North Lake and' River association for the purpose -of erecting a club house at some lake or stream in Northern Indiana. Mr. Ager was then editor of the Milford News and through his influence the committee chose Turkey lake (which later became "Wawasee lake, after it had been known as Nine Mile lake and Syracuse lake.) Few people then knew of the beauties of the lake—the largest in Indiana. The association purchased five acres of land at Yellow Banks or William Moore for $450. (That was where Wawasee Inn stood.) A building was erected and christened Cedar Beach, after the cedars at the location. Dr. Grabill was the first landlord. This building, which had been enlarged until it became quite pretentious, burned in about 1891. Col. Eli Lilly of Indianapolis then built the inn. (The inn burned in 1919.)

Anyone who can be found to pick cherries may secure all they want for nothing; The fruit is so common and cheap that the grocers do not handle it. More canning of cherries has been done this year than ever before.—Ligonier Banner. - There may be plenty of room at the top, but victims of that tired feeling never reach it.
