WONDERFUL PEACHES
A Big Orchard in Elkhart County-Old
Settlers Surprised by Indiana Sandhill
Possibilities.

With five years of untiring efforts
and painstaking care, Mr.. Abe +.
Widen, jr., has developed peach or
chard of which he may well be proud.
Stretching away from the eastern
boundary of Goshen sandy knoll on
the Widen farm is gradually matur-
ing its first great crop of woody fruit.
For fifty years this fertile hill was
known as worthless" pile of land.
Today those six acres are studded
with seven hundred fifty thrifty peach
trees, of which six hundred thirty-two
are bending low to the ground under
the enormous weight of many tons of
delicious fruit. The average height
of these trees is not quite eight feet
and SO heavy is their burden of fruit
that Mr.. Widen has been obliged TO
supply props and rests to prevent a
wholesale breaking down of tender
limbs. The sandy soil of Mr.. Widen IS
bonanza hill is loose and porous, ex-
tending to a depth of from fourto six
feet. The fruit yielded is particular
ly smooth and free from imperfections.
The most important varieties are Al
bertas, Crawfords and New Prolifics-
the latter noy being picked by a large
force Of pickers. The New Prolitics
are very plump and juicy, have delic-
ious, fine flavor and Mr.. Widen pro
nounces them excellent for canning
Albertas will be ripe in week or ter
days.
In all Mr.. Widen anticipates {
harvest of more than fifteen hundred
bushels and has appointed Messrs. Sa
linger Bros. as exclusive agents for tn,
marketing of his immense crop. Thos'
J who have hitherto been prejudicet
. against Indiana grown peaches neet
only taste of fruit to convince then
that it will compare favorably will
the sweetest of fruit, no matter wher
grown.-GoShen News.

A FOUL OUTRAGE
Little FIve-Year-Old AzeIia Stein the
Victim of Brute's Lust.

Wednesday afternoon at about 5
o 'clock little Azelia Stein, the 5-year-
old daughter Of Joseph Stein, was ac-
costed on the bridge approach near
the Windsor Hotel by man who
grasped her by the throat and dragged
her back of the high billboard stand
ing there. Before he could accom-
plish his purpose, but after he had I'M
mlstakably disclosed it, the child es-
capped and ran screaming to her home
near by.
A stranger here, giving his name
as William Campbell and claiming to
be from South Bend, working on the
Pennsylvania grade as a shoveler, was
arrested by Marshal CLANCY shortly
after and was identified by the girl
as her assailant. Justice Molter
ordered his commitment in.default of
$500 bond and he spent the night in
Jail. He was very drunk and very
insolent but asserted his ignorance of
the crime.
This morning the man was given a
preliminary hearing in Justice Mol
| ter'S court and the circumstances of
the assault, the arrest and the identi-
fication were put in evidence. The
little victim told her story Gle irly and
positively and her recital filled the
audience i'm the court room with hOr-
or and Indignation. The act she deS-
cribed was too loathsome and repulsive
to be told in print.
Four other children had been ac-
costed by a strange man during the
afternoon, but none of these could
identify the prisoners as the one. Be-
sides the Stein girls evidence the
facts that tend strongly to fix guilt
upon Campbell are, first, that before
he had been informed of the cause of
his arrest or of the location of the Of
fence he strenuously insisted that he
had not been south of the river during
the day, thus betraying a guilty
knowledge: second, he was seen south
of the river just after the crime was
committed and was arrested i'm
mediately after he crossed the bridge
coming north: third, when examined
there were found on his clothing sadn
burS of the same character as those
growing where the guilty man crossed
the fence in making his escape; fourth,
by his own account he is a man of
loose habits and violent disposition
and he never had any education OF
home training, but, as he says, was
just dragged up, without any chance
for good. The trial will be had at the
next term of circuit court.

Death of Jacob Wade.

Jacob Wade was born i'm Maintling-
en-, Hessen, Darmstadt, Germany,
June 6, 1910, and died at the Sister,
Hospital at Hammond, to which he
YVES moved only a few days before his
death. Mr.. Wade has made his home
at Laporte for some time but left a
few weeks ago to visit his daughter,
Katie, and died during his visit. The
cause of his death was Bright's dis
ease.
He came to this country Sept. IL,
1864, accompanied by his brother,
Andreas Wade, and resided in this
city until three years ago, when he
left for Valparaiso. He remained
there short time and then moved tt
Laporte to make his home with hi
son, Zeno Wade.
He leaves to mourn his death three
children as follows: Miss Katie Wade
of Whiting; Andreas Wade, of Waco
Texas; and Zeno p. Wade, of Laporte
Ind: and an adopted daughter, Mrs
Mary Woodward, of Ft- Wayne, Ind
Remains of the deceased were
brought here Saturday morning on thu
1923, and were conveyed to the resi-
deace of Andreas Wade. The funera
was held Monday morning at
O'Clock under auspices of st. Bonifac

HOUSEHOLD CLUB
How Warsaw People Have Solved
the Servant Problem.

Several months ago publicity was
given to the effort of the Warsaw
housewives TO solve the servant girl
question, always very exasperating in
that city, and particularly so in the
summer months, when the great Wi
mona resort is crowded with guests.
The neighborhood housekeeping club
idea is a success. The scheme was
put into effect May l, when the an
nual trouble with the house help was
starting, and it has proven SO success
full that it will be continued, not only
through the succeeding summers, but
during the winters as well. 1t will
work equally as well in other Indiana
towns and cities. The Household
Club is in fact in Warsaw protective
organization against house help of all
kinds, and especially against cooks.
A company, organized according to
usual process, rented the Lightfoot
residence, one of the largest and best
houses in the city, within two squares
of the business section. There is a
yard taking up fourth of block,
and good, roomy porches, making it
an ideal retreat. The entire lower
floor was converted into one big din
ing room, and the kitchen was en-
larged. Each of the twenty families
was assigned a room or part of room,
and they furnished it complete, from
mating to toothpicks. using their
own dishes and silver and table, chairs
and table cloths.
Home life has been worth living
this year, and it costs less than $3.50
a week foreach person, allowing, at
that, half fare rates TO children that
have not fully matured appetits.
All bother of kitchen work at home
is not only removed, but for the seven
dollars that Warsaw families would be
compelled to pay their cook during
the summer months, man and his
wife and his mother-in-law or two
children can be fed. The expense will
be increased somewhat in winter be-
cause of fuel, but at present a re-
spectacle surplus is on hand, that will
provide for elaborate spreads on
Thanksgiving and other holiday oc-
casions,
Thomas c. Shaw is president of the
association, Charles Stevenson secre-
tary and Ed B. Myers treasurer.
There is an executive committee COM
posed Of the three officers and Mrs.
Charles E. Neff and Mrs. Reub.
Williams.
The second story of the house IS
given over to the help, who in return
serve as janitors and custodians of the
entire property. The chef has put
up enough fruit and other winter sup
plies to run his household, the same a:
any housewife would.

TRIAL BY JURY.
4 Successful Entertainment by the Ladies
OF the Maccabees.

The entertainment given last even
ing by the Ladies of the Maccabees
was success from every point of
artistically, socially and tinan-
cially. The opera house was packed
to its utmost capacity, there being in
Guided in the audience many persons
drawn from distance. The curtain
raiser, Cox and Box, presented by
three of Plymouth's bright young
lads, was so full of sparkle and roll
licking fun of the Gilbert and Sul1i-
van style that the audience was at
once put in the best of humOr to en-
joy the excellent performance of Trial
by Jury. There may have been some
thing lacking in the dramatic action
but whatever the shortcomings they
were overlooked because of the uni
form excellence of the musical per-
Torrance. All who participated in
the enterprise, whether as directors,
managers or performers, are entitled
to warm congratulations for theirsuc.
cess.
The entertainment was followed by
dance given under the management
of some of the Blue Ribbon club, adj
vantage being taken of the fact that
many young people were here from
abroad.

SOCIAL PHILOSOPHY.

1t takes a game man to make a sue
cessful house hunter.
The more a man knows about love
the less experience he has had.
Lots of men remain bachelors SIM

When a farmer moves to the city he
gets a chance to dodge his city rela-
tives.
Some men use all the material they
have at hand in making fools Of them
selves. =
The average man doesn't know his
poor relations-and his rich ones don't
know him. =

Jud Hance is in from his ranch at
Cummins City today, on business be-
fore the county health officer. He ac-
companied a lady who had nursed
some contagious patients in that sec
ton, and whose bedding had beer de-
stroyed by the orders of the state
health department, and she will ask
the county commissioners to REIN
burse her for the loss.
Mr.. Hance reports that on Welnes-
day of last week fire destroyed his resi-
dence and all its contents and came
near catching his children in the
flames. Mrs. Hance was at work in
the yard, near the house, when she was
told by a neigrbor, who lived in the
opposite direction from where the lady
was at work. that the house was burn
ing. Before help could arrive the
house was so far destloyed that it was
impossible to save any of its contents.
The children managed to get out, but
none of the family saved anything but
the clothes they wore at the time.
The loss was a sever n to Mr..
Hance. as he lad no insurance, and as
every article of furniture in the house
was burned, the loss can hardly be es-
timated in dollars and cents.
The cause of the fire is not known.
but it is thought the children were
playing with fire and accidentally set
something afire in the room.
