From Our Correspondents JORDAN. Miss Hazel Barden of South Bend spent last week with Mr. and Mrs. Fred Bellinger. Otto Schmeltz and family spent last week with his mother, Mrs. John Schmeltz, at Helmer, Ind. Fred Brown and Sam Sparks of South Bend and Mr. and Mrs. Davis of North Liberty called last Tuesday at the home of Wm. Babcock. Mrs. William Finch of North Liberty, Mrs. C. E. Bellinger, Mrs. Floyd Bellinger and Mrs. Rose Wiley spent Friday with Mrs. O. H. Hardy knotting comforters. Mr. and Mrs. Earl Vincent daughter of South Bend spent New Year’s with Albert Vincent and family. Miss Mary Hardy and Raymond Seitz took supper Saturday night witn Mr. and Mrs. C. E. Bellinger. On Thursday evening the friends and neighbors pleasantly’ surprisea Etsel Snyder and family. The event was in honor of Miss Thelma Snyder, who was home from Purdue University on her Christmas vacation. The evening was enjoyably spent and r bountiful luncheon was served and the guests departed after wishing Mr. Snyder and family a happy and prosperous New Year. LAPAZ D. L. Reynolds has been very poorly the last few days with leakage of the heart. Mrs. Strieble of South Bend spei t L several days here last week helping to care for her father. Mr. and Mrs. W. M. Bresler toos । Sunday dinner with Frank Dunn’s in Walkerton. Dr. Shipley and family were guests of D. L. Reymolds’ Sunday. Dr. Shipley will remain in Lapaz. Charles Shock and wife were Sunday visitors of Charles Leed and family. Mr. Shock has been employ’ed in the Lowenstein clothing store at Bremen for 20 years. Mr. Lowenstein will open a store in South Bend where the Hub now is located the 10th of February. We notice Dan Cramer from Colorado on the street just as we go to mail this. Russell Thornton, living on the County Line lost a small child Monday morning. Next Sunday morning, Jan. 8, the Union Sunday school wil elect new officers for the ensuing year. Mrs. John Whiteman has made an efficient superintendent the past year and it is to be hoped she can be persuaded to serve the year 1922 in the same i capacity. ‘ Leed and Annis have a large

amount of poultry on hand. They have been holding since before Christmas on account of not getting coops to ship out. Mr. Winner informs us it is just impossible to get coops to handle poultry. You ink slingers down west don’t need to hold your breath until we go into the jug business in Gas City. We can’t find any such a city on the map and you must have had a very poor quality of white mule confusing your upper story’s mental arrangements. When you wrote the said item if you had let loose of that white mule’s bottle neck in time we might not have so much trouble looking over the maps of this and foreign countries trying to locate Gas City to I see if you were still in the whue imule business. We see in the Plymouth paper that 'they have it all cut and dried for an overhead bridge in Lapaz at the B. [& O. railroad crossing on Michigan street. When the cement road was built here last summer the contractor told us for five thousand dollars he would complete the gap. Now the state wants to stick up an overhead bridge over the B. & O. tracks probably to cost nea.- one hundreff thousand dollars, build a mound in front of business houses and property owners and toe path to get to the station. It does look like any old woman in Marshall county with a thimbleful of brains on a jury would decide against it. The paper states the state does not pave through incorporated towns. What did they come part way for? Listen, why don’t the state pave this 17 hundred feet the same as the other? Let the railroad put a flagman at the crossing and save enough money to build additional good roads in ’he country with the difference of the cost of construction between the iverhead bridge and the cost of pavng, which would save the tax-payers housands of dollars. It seems that no one wantsan over-head bridge thru town except automobile clubs and road hogs.
