S0briety and Thoroughness.

Thomas f. Walsh, one of the bright
est examples of the self made business
man that America has produced. joins
among other attributes that led TO bis
success the prominent ones of sobriety
and thoroughneSs. These principles,
he says, he discovered early in life as
most important and he not only adopt
ed them as part of his daily pro-
gramme at the outset, but has adj
hered to them all through his event
full career.
By keeping sober young man has
control of his faculties at all times,
and thus he grows to have full con-
fidence in himself. By being thor.
ough in whatever he undertakes, be
has not only the satisfaction of pleas
ing himself with every task we'll done,
but he also pleases his employer and
gains reputation for RELIABILITY that
is very necessary to the advancement
of one starting in life.

Clara Barton's AGE.

An odd sort of controversy has
arisen over the Red Cross affair. 1t is
as to whether Miss Barton is 10 or 50
years old.
"Who's Who in America, land other
biographical reference books state
that Miss Barton was born at Oxford,
Mass, in 1880. The Washington
members of the Red Cross have an af-
fldavit from the town clerk of East
Oxford. showing that Miss Barton was
born in 1921. In reply to charges
that Miss Barton is too old to have
charge of the affairs of such an i'm
portant organization as the American
Red Cross, her defenders have said
that she is only 10 years old. If the
records of the venerable Red Cross
presidents native town may be believ.
ed she is is 80 years old.

The government of the United
States is expanding 100000 in the
erection of a military post, to be
called Fort George II. Thomas, on a
tract of 900 acres of land adjoining
the National Military park of the bat
tlefield of Chickamauga, nine miles
from Chattanooga. The work of con-
struction is now making rapid pro-
greSS under the direction of Captain
H. j. Slocum of the Seventh cavalry.
The foundations of the principal
buildings are laid: the land is being
cleared, drained and graded. and be-
fore next winter some of the quarters
will be ready to occupy. 1t is to be
the model military post of the world,
capable of taking care of full regi-
ment of cavalry, with detachments of
infantry and artillery. The location
and the topography are especially fav-
orable. The climate is mild in win
ter and not to hot in summer. The
atmosphere is pure and the water
supply is abundant. Only the other
day an artesian well was bored, which
is now flowing with a tremendous
pressure, furnishing a supply of water
sufficiel for the whole camp.

The governor has named an admira-
BILE commission to have charge of the
states exhibit at the ST. Louis fair.
1t is to be hoped that the commission
will organize promptly ana lay its
plans. The time is none too long if
a worthy display is to be made. 1t is
to be hoped that better results may be
achieved than those shown by India
ma at Chicago. Very little of the ap-
preparation should be spent in the
erection of state building. A SIM
pie and inexpensive structure will
answer all the legitimate demands of
such building. The money can be
used to much greater advantage in
seeking to make an adequate exhibit
ton of the natural resources of the
state, its Goals, stone, clays, mari,
mineral waters, oil, woods. etc.. and
Of its multifariOus industries and
manufacturing enterprises. There
should also be at least as good an ex-
hibit of the educational system of the
state as was made at Chicago. In

the last decade. Visitors at the fair

rect notion of what the state is and

Letter to Mr.. II. Humrichouser.

PLYMOUTH, Ind.
DEAR SIR: Most painters insist
that lead and oil is good for three
years; but they also insist that it
needs going over again in three years.
1t is as much as to say it's good job
of paint that lasts three years.
Which is true; and a better that
lasts six years. Lead and oil lasts
three: Devoe Ready Paint lasts six.
When paint begins to let in water
then is the time to repaint. 1t may
be one year: it may be ten. Lead ani
oil lasts three. If well put on; lead ani
zinc lasts six if ground together ani
well put on. But painters are better
acquainted with lead than with zinc
Zinc is newer.
Devoe Ready Paint is the proper
mixture, ground in oil by machinery

Plymouth.

Was an important Deal.

The big deal recently closed at East
Chicago, in which 5000 acres of land
in the manufacturing district, exten.
sIve dock frontage and a 2O-foot har-
Dor changed hands, was one of the
greatest in magnitude of any transfer
in this section in years and means
much to that section of the state.
A deep water canal, 200 feet wide and
three and half miles long, is to be
dug at once. The Indiana Harbor is
the only deep water harbor in Indiana.
The factory territory already contains
twenty-three manufacturing plants,

collision between passenger train and
a freight train on the Erie railroad
near Red House, N. Y. OF the dead
only one, Robert n. Hotchkiss. of
Meadville, a brakeman, has been
identified. Seven bodies = apparently
those of three men, three women and
a child-were burned beyond recogni-
ton in the fierce fire which followed
the wreck. The women are said to
have boarded the train at Youngstown,
and to have come from Pittsburg r.
S. McCready, a mail weigher of Mead

Fire Joins In the Havoc.
The wrecked passenger train was
known as No. 4, running from Chicago
to New York, and was pulled by an en-
CINE in charge of Engineer Samuel
Cook and Fireman Fred Bell, of Mead
vile. 1t was derailed by striking a
freight train which was taking a sid
ing at Red House. The wreck at once
took fire, and the combination car, two
day coaches and two sleepers, together
with several freight cars, were con-
sumed.
As 10 the Cause of the Wreck.
There is some dispute as to the cause
of the wreck Some trouble was ex-
perienced by the freight train in en-
teriug the siding, and the engine of
the freight was sent in along the sid
ing with a fagman, to hold the ex-
press. 1t is alleged that the operator
in the tower saw the engine of the
freight which was bringing up the flag,
and supposed the freight was on the
siding behind it. Vale then displayed
a white signal toward the passenger
train, indicating to the engineer that
he had clear track. Then came the
crash, the engineer on the passenger
train failing to see the fiagman sent
out from the freight train, and seeing
only the clearance signal from the
tower.

LAND IS 0VER-VALUEO
Result Being That the Indiana
School Fund Loses Quite a
Sum of Money.
CASE WHERE THE LOSS Is $4,000
Governor Down on Bookmaking-
Man Who Was Short Tries
to Hidc-Items.

Indianapolis, April 21.-The News
says: las the result of an overlap
praisement Of 500 acres of Gibson
county land, on which was lent $4,000
of the permanent endowment fund Of
Indiana university, Feb. 1, 1896, the
state of Indiana will lose between ST.
600 and $4,000. The land was in the
name of Ella c. Wheatley, and it is
known at the state auditors Office as
the Cockrum land. 1t was decided to
Mrs. Wheatley by her father, William
NJ. Cockrum in 1894 She is sister
of John b. Cockrum, of Indianapolis.
- just Twice Too Much Per Acre.
1.-THE land was appraised at $4,000
before the loan was made, for the law
requires that the loan be not over half
the appraisement, which was $50 an
acre. The state Is now about to sell
800 acres of it at $50 an acre, and
the 800 includes, it is stated, the nest
part of the 500. When the present
high prices of land are considered, the
over appraisement of 1896 becomes all
the more apparent. On this $4,000
loan not cent of interest was ever
paid except the first year, 5000. which
was paid in advance and deducted
from the principal, Jan. 10, 1899, the
land was forfeited to the state. and
there was then due the state ST.
650.56.
Falls or sec, 900 I'm Value.
'In 1902 the land was appraised at
S9,475 as the cash value. This is $2o.-
600 less than the appraisement made
when a loan was obtained from the
treasury of the state of Indiana. To
demonstrate the loss ihe state will suf-
fer requires few figures When the
state took the land in there was due
S17,65O56. Interest at 6 per cent. on
that amount, from the first of 1899 to
the present time, would amount to $4,-
49, This makes the total that should
be paid to Indiana at the present time
so, 1856.
What the state VIII Get.
"The state will sell 800 acres at $50
an acre, as the deal is practically
closed. That will make $1,000 the state
will get back. The remaining $50 acres
are said to De worth not more than
$1,000, which. added to $1,000, makes
a total of $4,000 the state can realize
on the $50, 1856 due. This leaves a
net loss of SS,93S, assuming that the
state can get $40 an acre for the $50.
