The Lennes work. ■ drill and test tablets have arrived and are now being used in grades four to eight inclusive. With this supplementary material we expect to* g.et better results from the arithmetic instruction. If possible we would like for the teachers of Lincoln township to meet with the teachers of Walkerton at the Walkerton school ibuilding at ^.30 on next Tuesday afternoon to, discuss the sale of Christmas Seals in and through the schools to the , residents of Lincoln township and Walkerton. Receipts from the sale , of Christmas Seals are used mainly ’ within St. Joseph county to finance I the most beneficial work being done at Healthwin, and the count} health program which provides health instruction in the schools and clinics held at least once a year in each section of the county. Parents, puana teachers —this is one of the • ways by which we may aid in keeping the National and State cups in our county. Can we count on you?

Ind., v.p Friday, Saturday and Sunday of this week end. it is expected that one thousand boys will be in attendance from the different Hi-Y clubs, high schools and churches of the state. Leading speakers for this occasion will be "Dad Elliott and Charles P. Taft 11. The Junior class through a class committee served lunch and sold shells tor the Walkerton Gun Club's Thmanksgiving Tournament on Tuesday of this week. Net proceeds go into the class treasury to prot ide furjis for the annual banquet which j the juniors give the senior or grad- j uating class. I Thirty-eight of the boys from the ( elementary grades spent a big , evening" in the gymnasium last Friday. Exciting basketball games followed by a warm sho.ver bath put the boys in good spirits and is help- ( ing them to do even better work in ; school. The girls basketball team will not play again until Dec. 11. As a preliminary the boy* of the local seventh and eighth grades will play on Wednesday evening. This promises to be a thrilling curtain raiser for the hard fight between the North Judson and W. H. S. teams. North Judson has a strong team and our ; laris must display a good brand of team work and an eagle eye for the baskets if they expect to’ keep close to North Judson. On Friday evening of this week the first and second boys teams from Union Mills H. S. will combat the W. H. S. bojs. On Friday evening, Dec. 4. the Argos H S. team comes to Walkerton. Argos has a strong ; team and the old rivalry between _ the schools should give us an interesting game on that occasion.

LOCAL LADDER FACTORY PLANS REORGANIZATION Will Imo: |H>rate With 515.000 Capital Stock. Have Orders for 30 Carloads Os Ladders. The Walkerton Ladder amt Manufacturing Co., has taken preliminary stt ps to incofi o.gte their business under the laws of the State of Indiana. with a capital stork of $15,000, This announcement came Tuesday evening following a meeting of the stockholders, in which plans for the ; future were discussed. According to A. L. Rogers, who has been the general manager of the i Company, the company now has on its books orders for 30 car loads of { ladders io be manufactured and delivered during the next six or eiuht months. Anticipating this growing business, the company has had a new factory building built, located on the sight of the old Walkerton Cut Glass factory, near the B. & O. toyver. j This building, of concrete block I construction, is 32x158 feet. It is a modern plant, with furnace heat and equipped with electric motor pow’er machinery, the current io be purchas- ' ed of the town of Walkerton. Operations in the new plant will begin about the middle of December at which time the process of Incorporation will have been completed and the organization perfected. Mi Rogers stated that they will begin operations with 10 to 15 men employed, with good pros'i>ects of increasing the force within a short time. Although the Walkerton Ladder and Manufacturing Company is a little less than two years old. it has pushed forward. largely thru the efforts of its originators. A. L. Rogers, and Dwight Rhodes, until now’, with the assistance of local business men, it. gives promise of developing into a real industry which will mean much to Walkerton. New Factory Signs Agreement To Come The proposed new factory for Walkerton is an assured fact, according to word received Friday from the Southern Mills Products Co., of Chicago, by A. L. Dupler, secretary of the Business Men s Enterprise and Roy Gindelberger, Secy, of the Chamber of Commerce. The preliminary arrangements had all been made previous to that time but it remained for the official signatures to be annexed in order to make tne proposition a sure thing for Walkerton. The Walkerton Ladder & Manufacturing Company have been busy the last few, -lays moving their stock and fixtures to their new’ factory buiMing, recently completed near the B. & O. depot. Just as soon as the building is completely vacated, the Business Men’s Enterprise, which organization owns the building, will begin operations to put it in resdiness for the new’ factory. Several little changes will be made and the building rewired for its new use. The LeMur Sv«teni of Permanent Waving. A system producing alarge loose flat wave. No frizzes or kinks.

WILL OBSLHVL ANNUAL GOLDEN RULE SUNDAY Decemlmr «, Is Day Set Apart When Sixty Nations Will Apply Gohlen Rule. • Sunday, December 6, is a day when sixty nations of the world will unit, in a sober contemplation of ! tiie principles of the Golden Rule as they apply to a better understand- ! ing between men and nations and to: tiie condition of ten.- of thousands of orphan Maids of America in Bible । lands. Thi- army of ’ittle ones, without father, without mother and with- j out country, are utterly dependent : • upon outside philanthropy for future | 1 existence. These thousands of children res- i cued by American philanthropy are 1 the pledge of better days in tiie Nea. East if we stand by them. We are asked on Sunday, December 6, to remember these little ones and out of our bounty set apart a financial I gift that they may benefit. It is I suggested that in every home one ' plain, simple meal be served in contrast to the usual bountiful Sunday I dinner and that following this meal ' the family shall conscientiously de- ! cide how much the orphan gift shall be. | These tots with an abiding faith i in our willingness to stand by them i a little while longer, look eagerly’ j tow’ard America. We must not disi appoint them. We believe in the Golden Rule. There is no better opportunitv to practice it. The Death Record Wolff. j John C. Wolff, oldest son of Mr. I and Mrs. Adam C.

Plan Sale of Little Christmas Seals' The Indiana Tuberculosis Association has sent the ninety-two county associations throughout the state a summary of a new work on tuberculosis, published by the National Tuberculosis Association and written by Dr. Charles L. Minor. The book discusses the newest methods of prevention of the White Plague, and will be used throughout Indiana as a means of educating Hoosiers to the necessity of continued support of the annual Tuberculosis Christmas Seal Salu. which will begin about December 1 and continue through the holidays. The book .describes In simple language the methods of dealing with tuberculosis. It points • out that tuberculosis is a disease caused by a growth in the lungs, or less commonly, in other parts of the body, of a minute, microscopic uerm. These germs usually enter the body in early childhood, but may remain inactive for many years, but may ' iter through lowered resistance become active and cause the disease. Overwork, dissipation, ealcohol excess, undernourishment, unhealthful surroundings, worry and ♦rrief. and certain diseases, cfiiefly measles, whooping cougn, influenza, pneumonia and typhoid fever are the ■commonest ources of "waking uo” tuberculosis infection that has hith- । c rto been held in check by the resisting power of the healthy body, the book points out News as The Churches Methodi-•; s. .>s,j ( Lurch F.

NIGH SCHOOL WINS INRfI WM MADISON Girls Win Their First < Lune 9-4-Second Team Tops Ifi-U Score in Practice Test. Walkerton high school hard wood court athletes were very much in evidence at Madison townshi? high school at Wyatt, last Friday night when its three teams were declared winners in the three game contest. The fine new Madison township school and gymnasium m.ide a real impression on the local ar letes but as for basketball, the home t?am didn’t show much. The boys second team game was the first attraction of the evening. McCarty and Place were Walkerton forwards, Cline, center, and Shultz and Wills guards. Bricker was substituted at guard. Cline was high point man getting three goals and one free throw. McCarty scored 5 points and Place 4. Oberly. Madison guard, made 2 baskets in the first half while Shermier scored from the. free line for the only marker in the second period. ; For the second game. S’ irlpy and Co., had the remarkabD distinction of winning their first garie of the season by a score of 9 to 4. The Ittle Walkerton forward f und the loops for three field goal- and a free toss, making 7 of the 9 points. Johnson, her running mate, scored from the floor once. A field goal and foul in the first half and r foul throw in the last period, hv Fel f on was the only scoring done by Madison. In the main feature of the evening the Walkerton Firsts romped away with a 30 to 15 score. Capt. "Shiek” Bierley led the offensive from the center position, ringing the bell six times from the floor and twice out of five chances from +he free line. Hornung who was substituted for Nusbaum at forward^ ranked second with three baskets. Groves with 2 field goals and 2 fr^e throws ranked as nigh man for Madison. While the score indicates an easy victory for the local Firsts, it should have been 60 to 15 in place of 30 to 15. The opposition offered by I Mariison was so slight that the local I boys forgot all about their team work and each attempted to play the game by himself. Had they worked as a unit, playing into each others hands, in place of so much i individual work, the score might i have be en much greater.
