O 44,885 DEAF MUTES Washington, Sept. 22.—-The department of commerce announces that 44,885 deaf and dumb persons, or deaf mutes, were enumerated in the census of 1920. In 1910’the number was 44,708. The census bureau included as deaf mutes not only deaf persons literally unable to speak, but others totally deaf from an early age, who learned to speak by use of those special methods of means employed for teaching ths deaf who have not acquired the art of speech in the ordinary way. Owing to the increase of the general population during this decade, the enumerated deafmute population formed only 425 per 1.00fr.000 in 1910. There was only one deaf-mute for every 2,350 general population in 1920, as against one for every 2,060 in 1910. o SPECIAL 2 Bars Kirk’s White Flake soap for 5c and your coupon at Seider & Burgener. o There will be the biggest public sale of the season at New Paris sale pavilion Tuesday, Oct. 3, commencing promptly at 9 o’clock a. m. 22-lt F* itch’s I HOW OFTEN -/V I SHOULD [YOUR EVES Bl TESTED ? / Your eyes should be tested at least once each year.

AMERICA PROTESTS AGAINST SLAUGHTER 1 ——f-— Immediate action on the part of every one of us is necessary to save the victims of this most recent Turkish outrage. The Smyrna disaster is the most sori- 1 ous and terrifying that has or-! curred since the world war. I Every hour counts. Urgent cables plead for immediate help "Tremendous o i lief problem calls for divisive •'?tion. Starvation taking heavy death toll. Refugees plight de plorable. Obliged abandon homes forced march UM) miles in broiling sun. Survivors sick, starv ing, exhausted. Seven hundred thousands facing starvation. Near East Relief has appro printed $50,900 for the help of these sufferers and stands ready to transmit any funds contributed for Smyrna relief.

The other day two women, coming into town for the homecoming, walked up from the milk train. Each of them had a heavy grip. Finally, when they reached the public square, hot and tired, the older of the two slammed her bag to the walk and said to one of the aforesaid c. s. philosophers: “Why in the name of goodness did they build that depot so far from the town?” The old fellow scratched his head. “I don’t know, lady,” he said, “onless it wus because they wanted to git it closer to the railroad.”—Bremen Enguirer. . -o TELEPHONE FACTS The telephone conversations which take place every ’day over the wires of the Bell system require in the aggregate an amount of time equivalent to 200 years. In the states east of the Mississippi River there are more telephones than there are in all she world outside of the United States. Over 4,500,000 telephones calls are made in New York City daily. The average number of telephone calls in all the cities and towns of Great. Britain is only 2,550,000 daily. o — WAWASEE COTTAGE ROBBED We received a report of the robbery of a/ cottage on Lake Wawasee too late for last week’s issue. While Mr. and Mrs. Chas. E. Morrice were gone from their cottage thieves entered it and got away with six dresses, a suit of clothes, some silverware and other articles. o FOR SALE —Oliver Cultipackers and No. 11 Sulky plows at reduced prices, if taken this week.
