An effort will be made by the officials of the Shelby county farm bureau to induce all the entrants to remain in the contest until the close of the program. Thirty-eight were signed up for the club a year ago, hut only half the number completed the contest and submitted records on their production. Two gold medals were awarded Shelby county club members last year for having grown an average of more than 100 bushels an acre as members of the Five-Acre club. South Bend. —Indiana’s gasoline tax of two cents a gallon was ruled constitutional and valid by the decision of Judge Lenn J. Oare in St. Joseph Superior court No. 2, which sustained the demurrer filed in behalf of Robert Bracken, auditor of state, and Ora Davies, treasurer of state, by U. S. Lesh, attorney general. The demurrer was filed to the suit of Bruce GattH, of South Bend, to enjoin the defendants from requiring users of motor vehicles to pay the license fee as provided in the acts of 1923. Martinsville. —Dr. Edward M. Pitkin, who has been instructor in anatomy in the Indiana University School of Medicine. has accepted the position of house physician at the Martinsville sanatorium, and will soon take up his duties. He succeeds Dr. J. S. Hinkle, who resigned to engage in private practice. Dr. W. E. Hendricks, associate physician. who was one of the first in the sanatorium business in this city, will continue his connection with the sanatorium. Logansport.—The chinch bug has appeared in Cass county almost a month early, according to W. R. Zechiel, county agriculture agent. An unusual thing about the coming of the insects this year, the county agriculture agent says, is that they appeared indarge numbers in the localities least affected in 1922, while in those neighborhoods where they were the worst last year no signs of them have been found thus far. Corydon. — While returning from church tn his automobile with his wife and daughter, N. P- Davidson ran over a large cow snake. Stopping, he looked back to see the death writhIngs of the reptile. Instead he saw the snake climbing up the side of the automobile. Davidson and his family deserted the car. and the snake held possession of it until it was badly injured and dragged out. Indianapolis. — Governor McCray, continuing his efforts to aid the farmers in harvesting crops, issued an appeal to labor to play fair with the farmers In the matter of wages. Pay of $6 to $7 a day. 'fhich is demanded in some parts of the state, means half as much as the farmer will realize for a whole year’s work on m acre of wheat, the governor asserted. Anderson. —Residents of North Anderson, who protested against annexation of tiie suburb to the city, have virtually lost their legal fight through a ruling of Judge Ellis of Superior court that only owners of unplatted territory have the right to remonstrate. Few owners of this kind have signed the remonstrance petition. Wabash. —The Rev. Otho Winger, president of Manchester college, has been named moderator of the International Church of the Brethren for the second time, according to word received at the college. The conference this year was held at Calgary, Alberta, Canada Lawrenceburg.—The forty-third annual commenceme' of the Harrison public high school in Harrison township was held in the Harrison Metho- ‘ dist Episcopal church, when 27 members of the senior class received their diplomas. This was the largest graduating class in the history of the school. Hartford City.—A large barn on a ’arm six miles north of here, owned >y Mrs. J. T. Kelley, was burned.

Her Birthday Party | f By RUBY DOUGLAS Uy AicClure Newspaper byauicatej Rosana Weeks had worked in the office of Turbeli & Co. for four years and she felt as if her place were secure enough to permit of her committing tiie somewhat unbusinesslike sin of having a party at Iter desk. “It is my twenty-first birthday,” she explained to one of the girls who tiled papers near Rosana all day long, “aud 1 have not had a party nor a cake since 1 was eleven. Do you suppose Mr. Turbeli will care—if he is here and knows about it?” The other girl was a frightened little I person who just naturally presupposed that any one of the lords of creation who happened to be over her in point of office precedence would undoubtedly rare. “I—l hope not,” she said, looking around. “Well, I’m going to do It anyway — if I lose my job for it,” declared ! Rosana, gayly. “I hate the boarding | house where I live. 1 love it down : here where 1 work. I love you all who ' work with me. 1 hate ail the old slsj ters who sit and rock in the parlor at I home. Therefore, this is the logical place to have my party, and here 1 am I going to have it, candles and all.” The pale little person looked at her in awe. Think of anyone having so much courage. “And you’re invited —you and Grace ' and the office boy who just arrived this morning, and Joe the shipping । clerk and Miss Nancy and —yes, 1 believe I shall invite Mr. Turbeli himself.” Rosana was waxing enthusiastic ■ as the gala thought of a birthday party grew in her mind. “When is it?” asked the pale little , person softly. "Today, of course I” almost shouted Rosana. “And it’s this afternoon at ; 4 o’clock that we’re going to have the party right here on my desk. I’m go- ! ing to get the cake ana the candles ; and paper cups for the hot chocolate—” I “Chocolate?” gasped the little one. “Yes, chocolate. The scrub woman has an old burner in her cleaning closet and she's going to help me make it anil I’m going to give her a piece of cake. I Oh, it is all planned and 1 am twentyone 1” Rosana’s spirits on this, her natal day, were soaring high. In the eyes of the world, she had . little to be cheery about. Her father ■ end mother had long since passed along into the eternal pathway and she had been supporting herself and living in a hall bedroom, more or less, for the past few yeans. But she had health and spirits; she was pretty and proud of her ability to be independent. She had many beaux, but not one for whom she cared more than another. At 4 o'clock she appeared at the door of Mr. Turbell’s private office. He happened to be lingering later than usual at his desk. “Mr. Turbeli,” she began, “this Is my birthday—” Rosana thought he started and she was taken aback a moment. Was he | displeased? She went on. “I—haven’t had a birthday party for so long that I thought I should like i to have one here at my desk that 1 love so well. I—l have a cake and candles —twenty-one of them—and. oh. I wish you and Miss Nancy would come to it.” Mr. Turbell’s eyes had tilled with tears. Miss Nancy, his secretary smiled at Rosana. “I should love to come,” she hastened to assure her. It is—ready? That’s what the children say, isn’t it?” Rosana was still looking at her employer's face. He had not spoken. And ' yet she felt that his emotion was not ' of displeasure. “Miss Weeks,” he said, “I'll be there !in a moment. I’m glad to seo so human an act in this cold office of ours. And I —today would have been my own daughter Helen's twenty-first birthday, j too.” His voice broke and Rosana would have gone to him if she had 1 dared. “That is why I am loitering at |my desk. I haven't the courage to go I home to my wife —I know how she is ' feeling.” “I’m sorry if I've stirred up your sorrow-, Mr. Turbeli,” she said. Miss Nancy had left the room. “Oh, no, don’t say that. Perhaps I ' can help you to make your birthday brighter by joining in your festivities. Come.” The little office force of Turbeli A Co. had never come so Hose together in the years they had worked side by side. Archy, the new office boy decided that this was a peach of an ' office to work in—cake and candles and everything. There was no more work done that | day and Rosana did not forget to wrap ' up a piece of cake for Mrs. Brady, the cleaning woman. She was about to leave when Mr. Turbqß stepped up to her. “I wonder If you wouldn’t like to come along

TOO BUSY FOR HIS OWN AFFAIRS

Hustling Is All Right, but This Man Is Proof That It Can Be Overdone. One of the first Jobs I ever had was as assistant to a middle-aged bookkeeper whose activities made those of an electron look like absolute repose. He hustled all the time. When we walked down the street I dog-trotted, with such demoniac fury did his legs quiver. He always ran upstairs. Never had time to wait for the elevator. “I have never seen so energetic a man.” I said, after I knew him well enough to talk to him. This in a tone that suggested that I admired him beyond words. It was an utterly false suggestion. 1 thought he was a nut. “One must hustle if he is to get ahead.” said tin- virtuous bookkeeper. He is still hustling. I met him the other day. still in high sja-t-d. He can go through a mass of books like lightning through an egg. But I cannot see that he lias got ahead. He is a salaried man wns l.is own home, and has the

home with me and—and help rne to cheer up Mrs. Turbeli. We’ll tell her all about it —your party and all. Would you come?” Rosana could not refuse and it was not long before she was being welcomed by the wife of her employer. Tears came to the mother’s eyes when she heard the story, but she quickly had a place made for Rosana at the family table and tried to make her feel at home. « Just before the maid announced dinner a tall young man strode into the room. "Helio, mother; 'lo dad,” he said. Then he stopped at the sight of Rosana. “My son, this is Miss Weeks of our office, you know. It is her twenty-first birthday and —” The lad shook hands with Rosana. “I—l understand,” he said, looking from his mother’s countenance to his father’s. “Helen would have been the same age today. I’m three years older,” he announced proudly. Dinner was merry and Rosana felt as if she had never haJ so wonderful a birthday in her life. “My father and mother would — would be glad,” she tried to say, but she was too full of joy of being in the home with really genuine folks on this day. She could not speak. “We, alone, know how glad,” said Mr. Turbeli. “You haven't a corner on all the joy,” laughed Ned Turbeli. “And I’m going to add to mine by being permitted to take Miss Weeks home. Am I not, dad?” Ned did take Rosana home. What they talked about was inconsequential. What they thought about would make more interesting data. At breakfast the following morning, the young man looked at his father rather diffidently. "Did you say you thought you’d be able to find a place for me in your office, Dad, for the summer holidays?” The father laughed. “Bud ns that?’’ Ned was only temporarily discouraged. He found occasion to talk to Rosana on the telephone on the following day. He found further necessity for calling at his father s office on Saturday at lunch time. In fact, he found that be had only begun to live on the day on which Rosana Weeks had celebrated her twenty-first birthda y. “Mother and father have both said, when I explained to them how it was, dear,” he found himself saying to Rosana not many months later, “that they could think of nothing happier than to have yon in the family to be their daughter. Could von? Would you be their daughter, Rosana?” Rosana decided that she could. Interest in Extinct Mammal. The famous cave of Ultima Esperanza, in the Magelllan canals. Patagonia. belongs to the haunts of the “Grisly Folk.” It was here that the mylodon was discovered about fifteen years ago—a find which caused a sensation in the whole civilized world, because the mylodon. a giant extinct mammal of the class of the groundsloths. possessed the peculiarity of having its skin covered with small bones, something never observed before in any other archaic or living species, and, according to the scientific commissions sent out from various countries, might have survived until rather recent times, as there was still dry flesh and reddish hair clinging to It. Bitter Feeling Against “lorn” Paine. Thomas Paine, whose deistic religion he proclaimed in his “The Age of Reason.” died in 1809. He was buried in New Rochelle. N. Y., under a large walnut tree in a hayfield. Some years later his friends removed the body to a new grave in higher ground, and placed over it a monument that the opponents of his principles quickly hacked to pieces. Around the original grave there still remains a part of the old enclosure, and it was proposed to erect a suitable memorial on the spot, but the owner of the tract would neither give nor sell an inch of his land for the purpose of doing honor to the man. Men Have Own Language. The Yana language of northern California represents a distinct linguistic stock and had formerly three dialects, one of which is now extinct. It possesses two forms of speech, one of which is employed by men speaking to men. while the other is used in all other cases. Practically the language has only nouns and verbs, the adjectives. adverbs, numerals, interrogative pronouns and conjunctions being formed from the verbs. —Washington Star. Reports in Embryo. Seattle has a number of free-dis-tribution weekly community papers, devoted entirely to news and advertisements of certain sections. Students in the reporting class in the University of Washington handle assignments for the community paper nearest the university. Those living in the district are also required to dig up and turn in news items suitable without assignments.

If he had made it a rule to sit down for two hours each i week, smoke a meditative pipe, and try I to discover where lie was going and I why. he might not be on salary today. He might own the business. He cer- : tainly knows more about it than the man who does. When any information is wanted by anyone in the plant, they look up the head bookkeeper. But he has been so busy hurrying that he has never made use of his own assets. But a frenetic agitation of the muscular system is not the surest way to success.

I had to confine myself to the very lightest of food, but even then gas would form in sudn quantities that 1 could hardly get my breath, and cramps and stomach pains almost took the life out of me. I also had terrible bilious and dizzy attacks, lost weight, and feared I would never be myself again. “Tanlac seemed to work like magic in iny case, and made my digestion so perfect that I now eat just anything I want without a particle of trouble.

TRAVELS OVER IMPASSABLE ROADS so V

D. 11. Slieplienl, assistant lighthouse keeper at Sunkaty Head. Mass., has designed an attachment which will enable a small car to travel rapidly over deep sand and marshy soil. By means of a special tread, ten inches wide, placed around the wheels in place of tires, the car has been able to attain speed aS high :is 27 miles per hour over ground otherwise almost impassible. Mr. Shepherd states that even with three people in the car very satisfactory progress has been made over very soft and shifting sand.

MUFFLER WORTHY OF PROPER CARE Device Has Distinct and Beneficial Purpose and Should be Kept Clean. (Ry ERWIN GREER. President Greer College of Automotive Engineering.) Tucked away back under the car, where It is out of sight and out of mind, the muffler is usually the most neglected part of the car. Indeed, it is “cut out” altogether by many just as soon us the truffle cop is left behind. It should rv»t be so. The muffler has a distinct and beneficial purpose and is worthy of careful regard. Without it there would be no | pleasure in riding and the pedestrian I ami dweller by the roadside would i need pails on their ears. Those who i can remember the days before mus- I tiers were rv-quired on curs will bear witness to the nwessity. How Muffler Works. This is why: In the operation of the engine tiie exhaust valve opens while the burned gas is jet under pressure of 25 to ’•<> pounds a square । Imh. Let directly into the air it would "knock a hole in it” and the report would be deafening. There would be no talking in the car or Its vicinity. The muffler provides a chamber, where the exhaust gases I may expand and likewise cool, I thereby lessening the pressure, and by permitting the gases to pass off slowly through a multiplicity of small passages the exhaust reaches the air quietly, instead of with a rush and a "big noise.” Clogging of the muffler and back pressure of unescuped gas prevent the cylinders from being emptied of burned gases. Tills prevents drawing in a full charge of mixture on the intake stroke, the explosion is weak and power lessened. It would be possible to so clog the exhaust that the throttle would be useless; opening it would have no effect. Likewise in starting, the first explosions would choke the exhaust, there would be a sputter and the engine would stop because so little fresh mixture could enter the cylinders. Get Rid of Carbon. The driver who uses kerosene in the cylinders to get rid of carbon will likely transfer it from cylinder to muffler unless he opens the cutout when running the engine to blow out the kerosene and carbon, for the mixture is nice and soft to plaster over walls of the muffler, and the heat will quickly bake it into a nice enamel, covering holes and walls. While the muffler on most cars is in a most inconvenient place to get at, the driver should take it off occasionally and clean it out, or expect ( to eventually have trouble, and perhaps have it blown off. This is one thing you are not likely to find covered by the manufacturer's book, but it is none the less important. HOW TO APPROACH CROSSING It Will Always Pay to Throw Out Clutch and Coast Until You Have Listened. In approaching a railroad crossing it pays to throw out the clutch and i coast until you have “listened” for the ‘ sound of an approaching train. Many a driver slows down, looks carefully and listens but his motor makes so much noise that he fails to hear the , train as it approaches from behind a । lull or a factory building. In coast- ! ing. however, do not allow the engine 1 lo idle so slowly that there is danger ' of its stalling. Hot Water Is Damaging. Washing the hood of the car when ’ the engine is hot is equivalent to wash- > ing the ear with warm water, and will do the same amount of damage to the hood. Weekly Inspection. Remember the weekly inspection of your car and do not neglect it in winter, because it’s cold, because of a thousand excuses. "It’s better to inspect than expect —trouble!”American Motor Taxes. An average of $32 In taxes is paid every year for each motor vehicle In the United States. Feminine Chauffeurs. There are approximately 1,000 worn- | en chauffeurs In the United States.

BROOM RECOMMENDED ON EVERY MACHINE Motorist Should Stop and Remove Broken Glass in Road. Every motorist owes a duty to himself and all other drivers to stop his car and remove from the highway all broken glass or other substance dangerous to tires which he notices in his travels. A large tire concern recommends that a small brush or broom be made part of the equipment of each automobile and that the automobile owners of the country pledge themselves to stop their cars and sweep off from the highway any glass or harmful substance encountered. If each automohillst would follow such a policy, it would not be necessary for the average man i to remove glass more than a few times I a year. When a cluster of broken bits of glass is allowed to remain on a highway until it has been entirely swept off by tires or carried away embedded in tires, probably hundreds of cars have their tires more or less injured before the glass disappears. If it is removed by the first man who sees it. hundreds of other machines are free from danger of tire trouble. The Automobile Club of WilkesBarre. Pa., was the first automobile group in the country to adopt this 1 suggestion. At a meeting of the Hub ’ the members committed themselves to the glass removing program. Each member of the Hub will keep a careful record as to the number of times he has to stop to remove glass and will also try to form a judgment as to how the glass came to be on the road. Other clubs are expected to follow their example ami enroll their members as "knights of the broom.” One thing is certain—the person who drops bottles on the highway for the pleasure of hearing them break has become very unpopular and is going to become more so. CROSSING IN FRONT OF CAR Dangerous Practice Because Driver of Other Machine May Not See Signal Given. Crossing in front of another car so as to reach the curb is a particularly dangerous habit, because the driver of the other car is not able to see the signal you give with your hand. He may not even notice the automatic signaling device, assuming your car is equipped with one. Any car which is proceeding along the center of the street is assumed to be either traveling faster than the rest of the traffic or preparing to make a left turn at the next street intersection. It goes withi out saying that the driver who intends 1 parking should keep to the right and as near to the curb as possible, but, should he find himself caught in tha center of the street when he wants to park the logical thing is to stop and wait until the traffic to Jhe right has passed by. AUTOMOBILE ^■Enssip^ When the motor fails to start there are three systems to inspect—valve system, ignition system and carburei tion system. • • • A good method of cleaning a motor :■ is to spray kerosene over the exterior i of (hi- motor. This is a very effective | way of washing down all dirt and oil. Dust and dirt on front glasses and ! reflectors cut down the efficiency of , head lamps. Therefore periodic clean- ! ing should be resorted to. • • • After washing the < ar. dry the body , immediately with a dean chamois, but never use the same sponge or chamois । that has been used at any time on the running gear. • « * In the event of wet ignition, it is not safe to operate a car until the coil I and distributor are thoroughly dried. A wet ignition system will cause manyshort circuits and electrical disorders. • ♦ • Cotton braid, such as every woman's sew ing kit contains, makes an effective silencer w herever sheet metal comes In contact with sheet metal. • • • ' A whistle has Been designed for the | automobile radiator, which makes a I noise and automatically displays a re^ signal when the water overheats.

BELL MANY CENTURIES OLD Connecticut Community Has One That Was Cast in Spain as Early as the Year A. D. 815. One of the most ancient and Interesting bells tn the country Is tn Moodus, Conn. It stands on a stona platform near St. Stephen's church, where It is examined curiously by many visitors. This bell was originally hung in some old Spanish church, for which it had been cast. When Napoleon sacked Spain this was part of the spoil of the French army. After the defeat of “The Little Corporal” it fell into English hands, by some means not altoirether clear; and. according to tradition. It was brought. In 1834 or 1835. to this country for use 1n American churches. William Wyllls Pratt, a New York ship chandler, whose wife was the daughter of an East Haddam man, purchased the hell and presented it to the church in Moodus. When the present church was built the old bell was preserved and placed where it now is. The Inscription cast in the bell, in Spanish, reads: “The Prior being the Most Kev. Father Miguel Joseph E’Stivan. Corrales made me. Made In year A. D, 815.” The year 815 is a good way hack, when you come to reckon up la the calendar. The Foxy Youth.
