GEKOBIAM STUMP WRITES TROM WEST Hoosier Farmer Enjoying Extended Visit in Washington With Friends August 19th — This morning, D. B. Steele and wife, myself and wife went to Plains Wash., to visit with a former neighbor of mine, Mr. am/ Mrs. Frank Rupel, a distance of 35 mites. When we came to their place they were not at home but at church, so we went there and Frank was doing the preaching. After church we drove to their home. They have a fine home best we saw was the strawberry patch where he has % acre of.the finest berres I ever saw. live of them measured over 8 inches,, laying side by side. In the e^enin^ we came to the home of D. B. Steele, and from there we drove to his Ranch, a distance of about 50 miles north. About 30 miles of this distance is along the Columbia River. After leaving .the River we went up on what is khown .as Knapp Hill, a raise of over 1000 ft. in a distance of a little over % mile, grossing this hill we came down to Bake Chealn, about two miles in width, sixty miles long, extending in the very heart of the Cascade Mountains. August 20th — Well this morning we got up at 5:30. D. B. Steele being cool, he got breakfast, had hot cakes, eggs and coffee. Then we went to pick apples and picked 50 boxes of them i After dinner we took them to the .packing shed and went north past the home of J. R. Peters, then to the home of James Peters, visited with .him about 30 minutes, then to the home of C. N. Stutsman then to Manson and visited one of my cousins, Ezekial Thomas. He was surprised to see us. He did not know me at first, but just stood and looked 'but when D. B. Steele told him who I was, he just ran and grabbed my hand anu stood and looked and finally his tongue got started and it said, “I’ll be gol darned, I’ll be dogoned Gerobian Stump.” August 21st — D. B. Steele, Millard Steele and I finished packing the apples to take them to Wenatchee, arriving there about 8 p. m. August 22 — This forenoon we started on our way to Seattle, the party being Mr. and Mrs. D. B. Steele .Emma Kring, Herman, Elmon Steele Anna Steele and myself. D. B. Steele took the party in his Studebaker Special Six. Got to the top of one of the hills, a neigh th of 4,000 ft. which is known as Blewet Pass, one of the best road beds I 'ever saw. We ate our lunch and started on our way still 126 miles to go where we planned to stay all night, with Mrs. Emma Kring’s daughter, Mrs. Margaret Pardee, of Meadow Brook, Wash. We arrived there at 6:15 p. m., after crossing the Wenatchee Mountains and the Suogwallace Mountains, the roads being awfully crooked. August 2 3rd — After having had a good nights rest, a fine breakfast and listening to the Radio till 11 a. m., Mrs Pardee, D. B. Steele wife and children and I started for Falls •City, about six miles away, where we picked some black berries, albout 50 or 60 guarts. Mrs. Steele canned 41 quarts of them. D. B. Steele and I visited one of the largest saw-mills in the north west, the sawing capacity being 250,000 feet per day. We saw some logs which measured over 8,800 feet n one cut, being over 7 feet in diameter and there w*ere logs in what they call the log pond, over 10 ft. in diameter. They keep the logs in water until they are teady to saw them. They are then drawn out of the water in the mill to be sawed by great band saws which measure 6 4 ft. in length, and then are sawed in slabs 12 inches thick, some being 6 to 7 ft. wide These slabs go through machines which saw as many as 32 to 60 -1 inch xl2 inch boards at one time. One of the greatest sights I ever saw and all the lumber being handled by machinery. Mrs. Emma Kring’s son-in-law, Albert Pardee, is the trimmer in this mill and handles a key board which operates 22 different saws. The saw is operated by air pressure. He has done this work for eleven years and has a fine job. His work is all out of the dust. He has a good chair to sit on, in a little room with glass windows on the sides.. August '24th — We went on to Seattle, 41 miles, to visit an old schoolmate of mine, Mary Kaughman, later the wife of Press Henry. Mr. Henry passed away only two weeks ago and Mrs. Henry is living ■with her daughter and family, Mrs. Lizzie Vieting of 3432, 37 Ave., S. W. I had not seen her for 2 8 years, yet she knew me as soon as she saw me, and said I had not changed any. We were there over night. I forgot to say that we visited the fish hatchery on our way over to Seattle and it was wonderful how they hatch the eggs, the fish just coming out and then the little fish of all sizes, mostly Rainbow trout. We saw some two feet long. They were beautiful. August 25th — On our way back to D. B. Steele’s home we went to the ocean to see the boats pass out. They were lowered from Lake Washington to the ocean, by locks and gates which are owned and operated by the government. We left Seattle 11:15 a.m., drove to Meadow Brook, and ate our dinner at the home of Mrs. Albert Pardee. We left there at 4:45 p. m., arriving at the home of D. B. Steele’s at 10:15, after driving 169 miles. PUBLIC SALE Ira Toyler, living four miles south east of Tyner, will sell at Public sale, on Monday, Sept. 10 at 11 a. m., 1 dark bay mare, 12 years old, 9 head cattle, 7 head hogs, 100 White Rock pullets, 7 bronze turkeys, hay, corn, wood and farming machinery. It's surprising how many things a girl can learn at a boarding-school that will never be any use to her. Even if a man's good deeds live after him, he isn’t in a position to care.

Harry Reed Awarded Noyes Scholarship' Harry Reed of Walkerton, wounded World War Veteran, has been awarded a LaVerne Noyes scholarship at Indiana University for year 1928 - 29. according to a letter received by Mr. Reed from William Lowe Bryan, president of the state university. President Bryan was notified of the appointment by the La Verne Noyes Estate, in response to his recommendation of Mr. Reed for the honor. In establishing this fund, Mr. La Verne Noyes manufacturer and inventor of Noyes Dictionary Holder, new steel windmill, ‘‘Auto-Oiled Aerometer,” harvesting machines, and ten patents on windmill towers, he stated his purpose as follows: “To express my gratitude to tnose who, in this war, ventured the supreme sacrifice of life for the country and for the freedom of mankind, and, by thus honoring them, to aid in keeping alive, the spirit of unselfish, patriotic devotion, without twnicn no free 4 government can long endure, or will deserve to endure.” Organize Aviation <■— C hib in Starke County Construction of the hanger at the Knox Airport was started last week Runaways are almost completed, a wind cone has been set up and an eighty foot marker circle has been completed\ - TTTeciuo. composed of Knox business men, is organized for the purpose of putting Starke County in the air and is not a money making proposition, say the promoters, but was started for the purpose of teaching its members to fly at cost. In order to operate, it was necessary to incorporate the club. Shares of stock cost $50.00 which gives the owner the privilege of instruction or hire of the plane at cost. Instruction to club memibers at the present time, will be SB.OO an hour as against the prevailing rate of S2O. an hour elsewhere. Has Mint Oil Stolen Gus Kerchart. living southwest of Walkerton, has 105 pounds of Mint oil stolen from his home last Thursday. The family left home ai!>out 10 o'clock in the forenoon and were gone all day and evening. Two other cans of oil which were in the same room, were not stolen. The jalue of the oil is about $315.00 t Reports 6T a farmer - living near South Bend having a similar amount of oil taken from the field in broad day liglit, have been received. Fire Destroys Still Fire of unknown origin completely destroyed the low pressure mint still on the James Kneisley farm west of Walkerton Saturday evening. The still had been used during the afternoon and was left with wry little fire in the fire box. The family had gone to Walkerton in the evening and did not know of the tire until it was too late to save anything. A wagon and rack and some tools were also burned. The loss is covered by insurance.. Dogs Kill Eleven Sheep Dogs killed eleven sheep belonging to H. Robison, Johnson township Lal’orte county, and injured s many more in a raid Tuesday night. The dogs, probably two or more, chased the sheep all over a 60-acre field most of the night. Full damages for the loss to Mr. Robison will toe paid by Trustee W. W. Place, out of township funds. Onion Thieves at Work Several instances of onion and potato steaing from the fields, have been reported in the last few days, according to local growers who are “up in arms” over the matter. The thieves visit the fields where the onions are pulled, topped , and in crates, and help themselves to the products of other men's labor. At the price of onions now, they are very valuable, and few growers care to give them away in any such style. Growers are cautioned to be on the look but for thieves and to capture them if possible, so that the law may take its course and justice be done. Locals Vanish Jinx And Defeat Bremen The local Independents left their jinx at'home last Sunday when they journeyed to Bremen and defeated the fast stepping Bremen Independents by a score of 2 to 1. Hornung was on the mound for the locals and worked in big league style, allowing only two hits and obtained six strike-outs. Bremen failed to put a man on first base until the sixth inning when they got two hits and one score. Vonberger pitched great ball for Bremen, allowing six hits and eight strike-outs. The game was a thriller and was enjoyed by a large crowd. It was a pitchers battle from beginning to end between Hornung and Vonberger. Sunday the locals will meet the Jimtown Tigers at the local field and as the Tigers are classed as one of the fastest teams in Chis territory, a good game is assured. Harness will be on the mound for this game.

Mr. Mangus had two sheep killed about two weeks ago and was ready to stop any further inroads upon his flock when he heard the disturbance. i It is thought that perhaps other far | mers have lost sheep by wolves.

At The Palace Motion picture fans who are admirers of Eugene O’Brien, and they are legion, are to have the treat of ] their lives next week when Eugene, himself, in person, comes to the Palace theatre.

Five capable players support O’Brien. The sketch is without a single female character and is new, original and different. Says O’Brien of his return to i vaudeville, in which he has not been seen for more than five years:: “No matter to what heights a person has ascended in screendom, he never feels that he is doing right by him- . self if he remains in them too long lat a stretch. Their possibilities are limited and a person with experi- ! ence in acting is soon at the peak ! there is nothing to look forward to. i if he wants to do more serious work I of a dramatic nature. So it is bacK ’ i to the realm of the footlights for a change.” I Other acts scheduled for Sunday I and the first half of the week a-a .

The freshmen class has 19 members, as against 32 last year. The shrinkage in high school enrollment this year is accounted for in the absence of the 37 Polk Township students, who are now enrolled in the Tyner school.

SPECIAL NOTICE — Only four more Sundays remain of this Conference year. The budget committee has arranged a program for closing the year and in that program some special part has been assigned to every one of these Sundays. On Sunday morning, the 9th, there will be three short talks instead of the usual sermon. — one by the pastor and two by members of the official board. These talks should be heard by every member of the Church for the inspiration and encouragement they will bear and the particular plans of work they will make known. And remember this, these talks will not be broadcas over the radio. They can be heard at the Church only. On Sunday morning, the 16th. the Sunday School will be combined with the church service. All our people and our friends also are invited to bring baskets well filled with good things to eat and after the morning service dinner will be served in the dining room. The Philathea Sunschool class will have charge of serving the dinner. An effort will be made to have special music for the occasion. Durng the week following the 16th the every-member -canvas will be made. Every member who has not already done so will be asked to do two things; first, to pav up in full for the year just closing, and secondly, to make a pledge for the coming year. On Sunday evening, the 23rd. Dr. jB. D. Beck will preach and at the close of the sermon he will hold the fourth Quarterly Conference. At that time reports will be due from all the heads of departments for the year’s work. The pastor will furnish blanks for these reports. On Sunday, the 30th. the closing services of the year will be held. St. Patrick'* Catholic Church (Serial No. ».) The school system of the Catholic j Church, built up and maintained at huge sacrifices, is h r argument for the right of the child to know about its God, its duti< s to Him, etc., it is also the Church’s most convincing proof of Her exalted stand for virtue in private and public life, for honest} 7 lin business, etc. Il shows that th«* | Catholic Church has a true conception of the real meaning of education — the making of, not only, learn* d citizens, but of good citizens; the training of the heart, the conscience. the will, as well as the mind.
