CAR IS FORCED INTO DITCH BY MANIAC; H. A. GILES’ CAR MEETS WITH \UCIDEM’— OCCUPANTS FOlvTUNATELY ESCAPE INJURY. Mr. and Mrs. H. A. Giles while । driving on the Liberty highway near the S. R. Ball farm Wednesday evening about 4 o’clock were forced into the ditch by a road hog, who was driving at a furious speed and . unmindful of the rights of others ' who might need half of the roam Mr. Giles realizing that he was meeting a speed maniac put on rhe brake . and drew close to one side of the road but was forced too near the edge as the other car whizzed past and his car slipped in the soft gravel and overturned on its side, the top resting against the fence. This fact, together with the very slow speed he was going, prevented what might have been serious results. Three boys, Ray Nusbaum, Will Rav and young Ford, were in the car, but fortun tely all the occupants escaped without serious injuries, Mrs. Giles having one arm slightly bruised. All had some difficulty in climbing out through the top, which was smashed in when it struck the fence. Mr. Giles took the precaution to shut off the engine when he felt the car going over, and lost no time in getting out and running toward the rapidly speeding car in an effort to get the license number but the cloud of dust prevented him from discerning it. It was an Oldsmobile car painted blue and there were three men occupants who were riding bare-headed and with the top down. They nearly ran into J. Willis Cotton’s car in passing him and just barely missed the oil truck near town after the Giles accident. Mr. Giles jumped into Mr. Cotton’s car ak he was passing and on reaching town got Francis Wolfe and in his big Haynes car thev started in pursuit of the Oldsmobile which passed through town in the direction of Koontz lake. They got track of the car at Gro vert own. which passed through that place fifteen minutes before they arrived and was headed for Culver. Phone messages were sent ahead to intercept the car. but nothing has been heard from it at this time—Thursday morning. Aside from a smashed top Mr. Giles’ car received no damage—a very lucky outcome. Speed maniacs are becoming pestiferous along the main traveled roads. Just the other night some insect driving toward South Bend forced two Walkerton cars into the ditch, though none of them overturned, ana another was forced part way up a bank, because he hogged the road and refused to dim his lights. Os course all such things should be shot, but unfortunately there is a law against it. They are unmindful of the rights and lives of others and by instinct and nature are criminals of a dangerous type. There should be an open season the year round for all such game. SPARK’S BIG CIRCUS COMING SOON. Boasting of countless human performers and innumerable wild animals the Spark’s Big Three Ring Circus will come to LaPorte on Monday, July 12, for two exhibitions on the Fair grounds. Trained wild animals predominate and two herds of monster elephants, a troupe of seals, lions and tigers—not to men- I lion the Spark Stable of Dancing ; Horses, the Woodford marblesque statue horses and dogs and Caesar, Champion high jumping horse of the World, are among the trained ani- , mal features. Then there will be the daring Natoka in his thrilling slides for life from the loftiest peak in the tent to the ground, traversing a distance of 150 feet. Then, too, there is Minnie Thomson, America’s greatest horsewoman, and Flora Bodini < and Bessie Hollis, both riders of repute. Oh, yes! the forty clowns will all be on hand. < JACKSON REUNION The first reunion of the Jackson family was held at the home of Mrs. Nancy Eldred, one-half mile south of Lakeville, Sunday, June 27.

I Once in the young corn (hex suck the .juices from tin lender stalks which wither and die as though scorched. As an effective means of fighting the chinch bugs the Department recommends that a barrier of strawsoaked in road oil be built 6 inches wide and 4 inches high, around affected zones. The bugs will mass inside this barrier and can either be killed by crushing with an ordinary farm roller or with an application of road oil.

NOKE TO ALL EX-SERT IGE MEN AND FAMILIES — Information has been given ont by the War Department that on July 1 iit will close the information bureau ' 'heretofore maintained at Indiana'polis. This bureau has rendered । much service in assisting soldiers ;and their families to straighten out ( mistakes in allotments, secure bonus and travel pay, locate Liberty Bonds, advise on questions of war risk insurance, and the like. Doubtless there are many cases of this kind which wil require attention in the future. A great many such cases have been handled for residents of this district through my office, and I | shall be very glad to do everything within my power to help each soldier, sailor and marine, and members of their families, to straighten out any matter concerning their service. For the remainder of the summer my office will be at 410 First National Bank Building. LaPorte, Indiana. Any question addressed to me there will have prompt attention, and, I where necessary, will be taken up with the proper department at Wash- I ington for adjustment.

51,080,000 CONVENT UNDER CONSTRUCTION The most elaborate building in Marshall county is under construcion at Galbraith lake n£ar Donaldson says the Plymouth Republican. The Catholic Older of St. Francis is having erected there a convent and retreat which will cost, from a million to a million and a < * ^lars. The ccn.-t/m < * . «ieu last October and wilv ^cmtinue for perhaps three years before the building is complete. Not counting the large chapel and auditorium, there jwill be over 200 rooms in the building, some of which will be much larger than most residences. I The elegant, chapel which will be finished in marble and very elaborate decoration work will be perhaps the most beautiful in the state. This will be 145 by 81 feet and will measure 60 feet to the ceiling. The galleries, spires and columns will give the interior of this chapel an artistic appearance that cannot be surpassed in the large cathedrals. I'nder the chapel will be an auditorium of the same dimensions. The main portion of the building , which will be used as a convent and retreat will be 321 feet across the front and the wings will go back 300 feet. This portion of the building (will have four stories and an attic. (Besides the usual convent rooms this will have physical and chemical labo(ratories, a number of school rooms, (amusement rooms, dormitory rooms, i etc. The grounds will be beautified and amusement facilities will be provided. Complete electrical and water equipment wil) be installed. I The building is being erected by the St. Franciscan Order of the State of Indiana and this convent will be the state headquarters. i The building is being put up by the Larson-Danielson Construction company of LaPorte. About 40 men are engaged in construction work at present. The force will be increased to 100 as soon as the supply of materials permits. The O’Keefe Lumber Co. of Plymouth is furnishing the cement for this building. The order calls for 5.000 barrels. U, S. BUYS 250,000 GANS OF FAUST BRAND COFFEE A Government war order for 250,1000 cans of Faust Instant Coffee was received yesterday by the . F. Blanke (Tea and Coffee Company, and it is (the second large order received withiin the last three weeks for immediate shipment to the American expe'ditionary forces in France. This represents more than 25,000,(000 cups of coffee for the soldiers i over there,” where it is popularly known as ‘ Faust U. S. Trench Coffe.” as each can is labeled. Each (can contains 100 cups of coffee. The goxetnment is buying the instant in large quantities as the drink can be made in a very few seconds by adding hot water to the soluble coffee in a cup. The Blanke Company recently delivered 960.000 cups of Faust Coffee within ten days after the order had >een received from the government, which is a record. —St. Louis GlobeDemocrat, May 19, 1918.

IBIG PROGRAM FOR SWE: ROAD IMPROVEMENTS BUILDING OF 500 MILES OF RO IDWA Y CONTEMPLATED. A 1921 state highway program to cost between $26,000,000 and $30,000,000 is contemplated by the state highway commission, according to L. H. Wright, director of the depart- 1 m.nt. This program is contemplated despite liie 1< v ng i.. . ume iufiuentiat quarters tint because of the Irtgh cost of mater al and other conditions this is no time to plunge so heavily into this form of public improvement. The huge sum will provide for (he paving of-approx! . uittly 5 0 miles of roads, the building of many bridges, the maintenance of approx- 1 imately 3,500 miles of roads in the state highway system and the overhead of the department, Mr. Wright estimates. The commission's bill, now being prepared for the special session of 1 the legislature, will ask for a state! highway levy of 30 cents on each SIOOO of assessed valuation in the - . Mr. Wright estimates that on th^anticipated $6,000,000,000 state total assessed valuation of this year the levy would produce $18,000,000 revenue for the department. He estimated that to the direct tax would be added $5,000,000, the maximum amount the department may obtain from the department for road building next year. From the inheritance tax $500,000 is anticipated and the automobile license department will add at least $2,500,- | 00'* according to present estimates. The total thus available for the department next year would be $26,000,000. Local Notes It ought to be a safe and sane 4th of July this year, as it comes on Sunday.
