Plymouth's Factories.

We sometimes hear travelling
men, farmers, and even residents
of Plymouth say that this city
has no factories worth mention
ing. Those who make such state
ments are badly mistaken
Plymouth has one OF the larg-
est basket factories IN the world.
1t has an abrasive manufacturing
and mining company in a very
large building and in possession
of almost unlimited capital. 1t
has large novelty factory that
runs full time all the year around
to fill its orders. 1t has q barrel
factory that turns out 400 to 500
barrels every day. 1t has one OF
the best canning factories in In
diana. 1t has the c. L. Morris
mills and many other smaller
manufacturing establishments. 1t
has no strikes and its working
men and merchants and all other
citizens are far more prosperous
and happy than they would be if
we had one large factory.

An ENJOYABLE Reunion.

Mr.. and Mrs. Joseph Coar, at
their farm residence, three miles
west of Bourbon, entertained
Companies | and F, of the Twelf-
tn Indiana Regiment, at their
eighteenth annual reunion on
Friday, and the occasion proved
to be one of the most enjoyable
of the meetings of this organiza-

served in the dining room of the

it is said, equaled a banquet. In
teresting addresses were made by
Squire James H. Young, Joseph
Coar, the host, Samuel Smoke and
Rev A. c. McCarter, who, by the

MEN CANNOT FLY
Aerial Navigation A Wild Dream
Never to be Realized.

Roy Knabenshue, the Toledo
man who has been thus far most
successful in building and man.
aging an airship, has the good
sense to declare: Il am tired OF
all this twaddle about aerial nav
igation. / know that it has no
future from my own experience.
Dreamers have tried for ages to
make something of their theo-
ries, but all have failed and will
fail. | am about to give up the
profession and buy a farm" He
is no doubt right. Aerial navi-
CATION is wild dream never to
be realized. The laws of nature
were never designed for the rid
ing of the air. Earth and water
afford man plenty OF means OF
transportation, ard the sea of ali
is too light for his tread. When
man can be made lighter than
air, or can devise a body that has
less specific gravity than the at
mosphere he may sail away to
the moon.

All Classes Grasp for Money.

Talk about the rich grasping
for money at the cost of human
happiness! Here is a case where
the poor, or comparatively poor,
snow the same instincts. Be-
cause Oliver Powe, a builder, OF
Ansonia, Conn, put all his prop
erty in his wife name and she
died childless he has lost it all,
and is left penniless at the age OF
seventy-two, too infrm to work.
Believing that at his wife's death
he would be her heir, Mr.. Powe
had his home and savings, $22,-
600 in all, transferred to. her, so
she would have no trouble in
getting his estate should he die
first. Mrs. Powe died year ago,
her estate was promptly claimed
by her relatives and the probate
court sustained their claim. Mr.
Powe has brought a suit for
equitable relief. The gresping,
grabbing spirit is not confined to
the rich. It dwells with the
poor. 1t slays pity there as well
as elsewhere. It destroys human
sympathy in the beggar as well
as in the millionaire.

SHIPLOAD OF GIRLS.
School Teachers Bound for Por-
to Rico to Educate Natives.

The steamship Caarcas sailed
from Pierrepont's stores, New
York, with the prettiest freight
of passengers that ever left
Brooklyn. 1t has 110 passen-
gers on board, and most of them
are school teachers bound to
transform the youth of Porto
Rico from the everyday life OF
"manana" to "readin," 'ritin an
'rithmetic." If the unregenerate
urchins of Porto Rico are not
converted to figures by the
school ma'ams that sailed on the
Caracas, they are a hopeless lot
One man who had seen most oi
the world said:
81 think it is pretty near being
a crime to allow these pretty
well-brought-up American girls
to go to these places. | have
seen missionary societies send
enthusiastic men and women ur
the Gaboon and Congo rivers
Most of these, or what is left Of
them, are still there. A few
years ago the barks Liberia and
Monrovia used to sail from the
Empire stores for Liberia.
"They took out rum and mis-.
sionaries, and brought back the
remnants of the crowd of ne
groes that went to Liberia. Few
came back. The particular point

left of a handsome woman anc

She had been sent out to Liberia

TO SAFEGUARD PUBLIC
State Senator Parks Will Draft
Bill Making it Unlawful to
Loan Public Funds.

Defalcations throughout the
state have caused considerable
comment concerning the loaning
of public money under any cir
cumstances and movement has
been started which, if carried
through, will make it unlawful
for any pubic officer to accept
interest even on public money
placed in banks. In an interview
at Plymouth State Senator John
w. Parks, who fought against
such a measure at the last legis-
latuge, stated that he would per-
sonally take up the fight to have
the O'Keefe bill taken up and
amended in such a manner that
it would answer the purpose
This bill was presented at the
last legislature and provides
against public officials accepting
interest on public money. 1t has
several clauses which were OBJ
jectionable, but Senator Parks
proposes to take up this same
bill, revise it thoroughly and
make an effort to get the bill
through at the next session oi
the legislature. AS he proposes
to revise the bill, it will require
all public officials in state, coun-
ty, city or townships to account
for and turn over to the public
treasures all interest received on
public moneys in their custody
"Such a law" declared Sena-
tor Parks, would prevent reck-
less loans and any risks being
taken except the failure of banks
because when officials do not
profit by the interest they will
not take chances for the sake ot
interest. In the case of bank
failures, where the official has
taken due care, he would not be
held liable for the amount ot
money lost.-Warsaw Times.

MAY UNITE TWO RIVERS.
Big Ditch May be Built to Join
the Yellow River with Tip
pecanoe.

Plans have been presented and
are now being Investigated by
both State and Government offic-
ials for change in the course of
Yellow river for an immense
dredging project. To empty the
Yellow River into the Tippecan-
oe at a point twelve miles west
of Rochester is in the plan and it
is figured that these two rivers
can be connected by a dredge
ditch not more than six miles in
length.
The object sought by the sew
eral counties affected is that the
land owners may secure better
outlet for the water of the Vel
low River, which will overflow
during the spring freshets, and
on the occasions of the heavy
rains overhowing the bottom
lands of Starke and Marshall
counties for want of sufficient
drainage through the Kankakee.
A Government engineer &C
companied by w. S. Blatchley,
State Geologist, and one or two
other persons are following the
course of the Tippecanoe through
Fulton, Starke and Pulaski coun-
ties on a tour of inspection.

Catholic Reception.

A reception was given Father
Traemell. the new priest at
Plymouth, at St. Joseph's Hail
Thursday evening. There was a
very large attendance, music by
the Plymouth band, addresses
by Rev. L. A. Meonch of Mish-
awaka, and other priests of the
diocese in attendance. The con-
gregation here is large one and
while many of the members are
naturally independent, they are
generally loyal to their priest
and man of ability at the head
of the Catholic church here has
about as good a place as he will
find anywhere. The new priest
expressed his appreciation of the
royal welcome extended him.

Plymouth's Tax Lew.

The Independent makes a big
fuss because the tax levy for
state, county and city purposes
in Valparaiso is 1926; yet under
a Democratic administration in
Plymouth, for ten years the tax
levy was almost that much and
the Independent did not say a
word. This year the levy in Ply
mouth is a little less and the In
dependent thinks it is wonderful.
The people, however, know that
this city now has over two miles
of paved streets paid for by
property owners and the city no
longer has to pay for graveling
and improving those streets,
consequently a reduction of lit
tie over two cents on the hun
dred dollars is very small. The
property owners who have paid
out tens of thousands of dollars
for street Improvements under
stand this matter.

Swindled a Dying Man.

The old bunco game of a man
signing a promisory note in place
of what purported to! be a con-
tract was worked successfully on
Jonathan Hunsberger. living
south of Mishawaka. Mr.. Huns
berger is suffering from tubercu-
losis and complications, and
when accosted by a smooth
stranger who said that he had
sure cure or no pay, the sick
man grasped at the promised re-
lief and was not as cautious as
he should have been. The strang-
er said he represented the Cook
remedy company, and that if
Mr.. HunSberger was not cured
by his remedy within 80 days
he would be charged nothing.
Mr.. Hunsberger signed what he
thought was contract embody-
ing those conditions, but was in
reality a note for $50, and which
the stranger Immediately took to
Mishawaka to sell.

TALKING BY MAIL.
A New Invention, the Phono-
card, Makes This Possible.

The phonopostal is an appa
ratus which registers and after
ward reproduces the human voice
by means of a sheet OF pasteboard
shaped like postal card. The ad-
vantages of the phonocard are
numerous. The records are made
by an ordinary phonograph of
the simplest possible type simp-
ly by means of stylus provided
with a sapphire point. This
point presses upon an impress
sionable substance spread on the
surface of the card. The merit
of the invention consists in the
discovery OF substance which
can be easily spread on the SUR
face Of sheet of card board and
possesses all the advantages OF
the wax-coated cylinders. More
over it is able to stand the strain
Of transmission by mail. The
sounds are inscribed in a spiral,
commencing at the outside OF the
card and continuing in an ever
narrowing curve until it forms a
small circle. The record is SO
deeply engraved in the coated
cardboard that not more than a
few syllables are lost by the
stampings of the postoffice.
Seventy-five or eighty words can
be inscribed on a pkonocard. Its
advantages over the ordinary
postal card are obvious.

SELECT SEED CORN NOW
Purdue University Says No Far
mer Should Neglect 1t.

The Purdue Agricultural Ex-
pertinent Station sends out a
warning to farmers. A. I. Wi
anco, the agriculturalist says:
Every hour spent in selecting
seed corn this fall will be worth
dollars next year. Take a bas-
ket and go into the corn field
yourself, or if you are not in
working condition, teach the
boys what is wanted and send
them. Set certain day for the
work and see that it is done.
The best time to select seed
corn is as soon as possible after
the corn is mature and while the
stalks are standing and in con-
dition to show all their charac-
teristics. 1t is a great mistake
to think that good seed ears can
be selected from the crib, where
we have no means of telling on
what kind of stalks or under
what conditions the ears were
produced. The stalk that bears
the ear has a number of impor-
tant characteristics that help to
| make or mar the crop. Every
| observant farmer knows this.
The best thing to do, therefore,
| is to go into the field and take
time. to select every ear with
care.
The stalks from which ears
are selected should be strong and
vigorous looking. They should
be of medium size, strong at the
base, tapering gradually to the
tassel, and we'll supplied with
large, broad leaves. The ear
should be borne al convenient
height for husking. The shank
should be of medium length and
strength, and the ear should
hang freely and firmly. The ears
selected should be we'll matured,
strong and we'll developed, with
straight rows of regular sized
kernels. The kernels should be
rather deeply indented. The
smoother kernels are generally
shallower and will not produce
so we'll. The seed ears should
always be a little rougher than
the average of the crop, other
wise the variety will become
smoother each year and the ker-
nelS shallower.
| AS soon as the corn is picked
it must be put in a dry, we'll ven-
tilated place and arranged in
such a way that eaSh ear may
| have a free circulation of all
around it. When the amount
of corn is not large, the old prac-
tice of hanging it by the husks is
a good one. With large amounts
specially arranged racks are most
convenient, but the rows of ears
must be separated by Stats and
there should always be plenty oi
empty space in the place of stor-
age, otherwise it will be practi-
cally impossible to keep the all
dry.
