I: 3 s J VÄLPARAI UNIVER IT Y

"ALtARAISO UNIVERSITY was organized September 16, 1873 as the Northern Indiana Normal School V of Valparaiso, Indiana. There were 3 departments, 4 instructors, 35 students and a part of what is now known as the Old College Building. The institution was. organized with the idea of giving to all, both rich and poor, a thorough, practical education at the least expense and in the shortest time. Departments were added from time to time and it was found necessary to change the charter to Valparaiso College. However, the growth of the institution advanced each year and in a short time the name was changed to Valparaiso University with the following departments: Preparatory, Teachers', Kindergarten, Primary, Pedagogy, Manual Training, Scientific, Classical, Higher English, Civil Engineering, German, French, Spanish, Italian, Law, Pharmacy, Medical, Dental, Elocution and Oratory, Music, Fine Art, Commercial, Penmanship, Phonography and Typewriting, Review. It now has students from all parts of the world, the enrollment last year was 5551 different students. The buildings and equipments of the institution have cost more than a million dollars. Its graduates are holding excellent positions in every State and territory in the United States, as well as in other countries, and the demand for them is greater than can be supplied. The school offers the advantages of the high-priced schools at an expense within the reach of every one. Marshall County has been one of the greatest patrons of the school and its influence is especially noticable among all the schools throughout the country. Many of our professional men as well as teachers have been students at this institution. Valparaiso University was one of the first institutions to continue its work the entire year. In addition to its regular classes it gives teachers and those employed at certain periods of the year an opportunity of attending as they may be able, Valparaiso University is an institution where students are known not by the amount of money they expend, but by the work they do. The growth of the school has been enormous and still continues. The institution has purchased buildings and equipments for its medical and dental departments in Chicago, at a cost of $300,000. Two years of the medical work may be taken in Valparaiso where a building has been erected especially for this purpose. The medical department this year has an enrollment of 500 different students and the dental department, 350, making these the largest medical and dental schools in the west. No department his been organized until the management has been able to equip it fully so that those who entered would be certain to have the highest grade rf instruction. At no time has thoroughness of the work been sacrificed in order to make the expenses low. Specialists, only, are employed as instructors and the institution is deserving oi its prosperity. Wc know the school would be glad to give any information upon application.

Captain Crook of Culver

One of the most interesting characters of Culver is Capt. Oliver Crook, who, for the past twenty five years, has been a familiar figure to all the visitors who annually spend their summer vacation at this popular resort. The genial captain knows every spot in and around Culver and Maxinkuckee Lake is known to him familiarly from end to end. When the captain settled in Culver twenty-five years ago. the town had then only between 200 and 300 population. During that period he has seen it grow to the neighborhood of 1000. while the summer visitors have increased to immense proportions. When the long residence of the cap-

in search of health or pleasure. The captain owns the steamers " Neeswangee" and "Charlie" and the gasoline launches "Charlie." "Doxy" and "Dewey." These steamers ply on the lake from morning till night during the summer months. He is also proprietor of the dancing pavillion which, before next spring, he will move up shore from its present location on the lake. Captain Crook is engineer and electrician at the military school, having held this position for the past sixteen years. He is a firm believer and is enthusiastic, in the belief that Culver is an ideal summer resort, in fact he considers there is no better and it is mainly through his efforts

and interest in the town, that it has sprung into such prominence as an j ideal place at which to spend the summers. He has all the vigor and vim of youth, and each successive

year finds him, if anything, looking

since he settled in the town, and was like a dream, it had passed away so quickly. When anyone wishes to know anything about the lake, or the town, the captain is immediately consulted. and he vouchsafes every information at his disposal in the most courteous manner. The children love Captain Crook, and he is a friend to every little one who comes around the lake

Mayor IJowell is the first mayor in many years, if not the first one in Plymouth, who hears the city cases and gives his decisions. Prior to this, both Mayor Logan and Mayor Cleveland,- not wanting to bother with thes matters, always turned over thee cases to the Justices of the peace. The law provides, however, that the Mayor shall hold court, am1. Mayor Powell is living strictly up to the letter. At the last session of the council the city allowed the bill of "NVm. Re?d for the injury of his horse by some 'old iron in the street at the junk house of Myer Franklin. Thürs day Mr. Uowell went to Mr. Franklin and asked him to pay the city V e $2.". Franklin refused. Whereupon Mr. Tiowell at once haled him into .Mayer's court and find him $2." and costs for obstruct ing the streets. Truly, ye Mayor is doing some business.

ONE CENT POSTAGE Government Also Operates the Telephones and Telegraph Lines, In Addition to Carrying Letters and Parcels.

The report of the postoflice department for thel'n ited Kingdom the fiscal year, shows a profit of $21,000,000 and this moreover after pacing a loss of $5.500,000 for telegraph deficit, and another loss of $200,000 on its telephone department. In Great Britian all the commercial telegraph business, and most of the telephone service is operated by the government. While it is

true that the wages of postal employes there are very much lower than here., and the average distance a letter isca rr'eil is less than in the United States, yet the domestic letter rate is but one cent of our money. Moreover, a large parcelpost business is handled, Amounting to over five billion pieces, while there were only three billion letters. Over one billion packages were carried for a half-penny, or one cent oi our monev, each.

In view of the fact that the t

English ai'e not as voluminous letter writters for business and social "purposes as the Americans, and that the parcel rate is low there and high here, it would seem as if our own postal department might be al le to so manage its affairs as to auid any loss without increasing the rate of postage on any class of matter, and to establish a parcelI ost rate which would serve the people without involving any loss in doing so. Thousands of small shop icepers in London, for example, have no other means of delivering purchases. You step into a store on the Strand and buy a book, a hairbrush, a box of cigars, and the parcels post gets it out to your residence six or eight miles distant almost as quickly as you get there yourself. It is the salvation of the shop keeper in the small towns, who can order goods he cannot afford to "stock" and get what Iiis customer wants, quickly and at the cost of one or two cents, or less, for m postage.

The country dealer in fighting the parcels post, especially as proposed as local on rural routes only, is fighting his own best friend, although he does not know it. lie has

not made its acquaintance, and fails

to comprehend his own possible opportunities. Not a hundred miles from Chicago is a town of about 3,500 people. Ten years ago many of its merchants bitterly epposed the construction of an electric line between that place and a little hamlet of perhaps 100 people. 10 miles distant. It was argued the new road would build up another town and all the farmer trade in that section would be lost. The line was built, the little hamlet has grown to a town of more than 1.000 inhabitants, with waterworks, electric lights, telephone exchange, fire department and all that: and

the trade from that section with the old and large town never was, and never would have been, anything like what it is today, but for the road. Transportation facilities, and facility includes a reasonable cost of service create business. A parcels post will do the same II. H. Windsor in the December Popular Mechanics Magazine.

Attorneys Hess & Hess Employed Tor Construction of $20,000 Will At South Bend.

Jacob, Isaac and John Witz, sons of Mrs. Christena Witz, who died Oct. 2G. 1910. have appeared in the circuit court at South Bend and asked that the will of their mother be construed by the court to give meaning to its terms.' The defendants are Mrs. Christena Harp and others, also heirs under the instrument.

Now the court is asked to determine the kind of title they hold in the estate and if the executor must hold the land three years before sellng.
