Patriotism in Schools.

Over every school house in Mar
shall county flags must be flying COM
>mencing with the fall term of school
This is a requirement of the law
passed by the recent legislature and
the law is strict in its terms, requir-
ing the trustees not only to furnish
the flags but to devise some manner
of regulating its use in the several
schools.
The trustees in Marshall county
are expected to purchase the flags
and for the first time in the history
of the county there will be a flag over
every school house next year.
The result will be wave of patriot
ism that will be lasting in its effects
for the schools are expected to OBJ
serve especial ceremonies in connec-
ton with the flag and everywhere the
banners will be flying holidays.
The section of The law regulating
the display of the flag reads as fol
lows:
'sThe school trustees in the various
school corporations in the state shall
cause the United States flag TO be
displayed upon the public school
buildings or premises therein, on all
national and state holidays, at such
other times as they may direct, and
such school trustees shall establish
rules and regulations for the proper
care. custody and display of the flag
and when for any cause it is not dis
played it shall be pllced conspicuous
ly in the principal room or assembly
hall of the school building.
The law provides penalty for mu-
tilating the flag of fine of from So
to 500 for the first offense with inn
prisonment added if desired. The
provisions of the law had not been
called to the attention of the trustee
until recently.

Plymouth Man is Expected to Bolt
Independent Phone Deal.

According to information received
by the Union from Fort Wayne to-
day, many of the independent tele-
phone men of this part of the state
believe that Manager Reeves of Ply
mouth will break from the indepen-
dents and join in with the Bell. If
the proposition submitted to the in
dependent telephone people of north
ern Indiana by the Bell company It
the meeting is accepted, however, it
will mean practical elimination of tel
ephone opposition in the state and
abandonment of a large field to the
newcomers. The plan of the Bell is
to merge toll business, giving % per
cent OF each originating message, but
not to exceed FIVE cents for any paid
minute. On all messages over the
lines of the American Telephone &
Telegraph Company Is per cent is to
be allowed on each originating toll,
but not to exceed ten cen-s on any
one message.
The proposition. which was pre-
scented recently, was taken up for
consideration and resolutions adopted
favoring a proposition if made on
lines that were favorable to all indie
pendent companies. 1t is probable
the whole matter will be referred TO
the state convention Of independents
at indianapolis in May. Rumors are
IN circulation that a similar propo-
sItion is to be made in Ohio.
A meeting was held in Warren, in
the third district, which was attended
by members of this district While a
few favored the merger plan, it was
decided that action would be taken
only on unanimous decision.
The agreement offered refers to the
cities included as follows:
First district: Connections for toll
business will be made with the indie
pendent exchanges at Atwood, Bre-
men. Bristol, Dunlaps, Knox( Through
Winona exchange), Ford, paying in
addition to comission a standard rate
for use OF lines; Nappanee, Pierceton
Plymouth (ceasing to perform any
switching at this point, Rochester,
Talma, Wakarusa. Warsaw(establish-
ing toll switching station and cut
ting out all local service), Bourbon,
Etna Green, Leesburg. Claypool, Sill
yer Lake, Palestine. Milford and 9th
er points as may be decided upon
Warsaw Union.

Another Swindle.

Housewives should be on the look
out for a smooth individual who is
travelling around the country presum-
ably to take subscriptions for maya
zines. 1t matters not what magazine
he is supposed TO represent. He
changes the name to suit the locality
and the only thing he is looking for
is your dollar which you have laid
away in the kitchen pantry to pay the
grocerman when he comes around.
He offers his publication and any
two others you may select. To make
it good and strong he offers you
conhdentially kitchen cabinet, six
dining room chairs, a dining-table
and a davenport just for the use of
your name. Most women bite at the
bait before they think, and pas over
the dollar Then they wait for the
goods that never come and wonder
why
In the meantime the fellow has
torn up the contract you signed and
scattered it to the winds. as he does
every other one he gets and goes
gaily on hunting other suckers who
have dollar laid away.
You should see TO it that you are
not one of his victims. Common
sense ought to teach any woman,
however, that no man on earth could
give what this fellow offers for a dol
lar
AS long as the housewife will per-
NIT herself to be imposed upon by
such men just so long will the coun-
try be full of such imposters. If the
man or any man comes to your door
and offers to give you more than
your moneys worth notify the police
for the chances are the fellow is a
fraud.

WORK THAT TELLS.
Plenty of it Has Been Done Right
Here in Plymouth.


Cures that last are cures that tell.
To thoroughly know the virtues of a
medicine you must investigate the
cures and see if they prove perma-
nent. Doan's Kidney Pills stand this
test, and plenty of proof exists right
here in Plymouth. People who tes-
tined years ago to relief from back
ache, kidney and urinary disorders,
now declare that relief was perma-
nent and the cure perfect. How can
Plymouth sufferers longer doubt the
evidence?

street, Plymouth, Ind, says: MY

Der of the board OF public grounds
and buildings, OF which the governor
and auditor general were also mem
bers. During the time he was Oh the
board from May, 1902, to May, 1904,
contracts for capitol furnishing
amounted to millions OF dollars Az
tolney Sorelotte brought out the fact
that the contracts for the metallic fur
niture were awarded three months
before the contract for construction
OF The building was awarded.
During the examination OF Harris II
developed that Architect Joseph M.
Huston collected 4. per cent commits
sion on 100000 for designing the
building.
Harris admitted that the board
spent money bnndly in furnishing
the capitol, and that when the con
tract for the metallic furniture was
made. there was no definite idea OF
the cost. lie thought it would cost
between 100000 and 100000 and had
not the slightest idea that it would
amount to $200O,0OO. Harris declared

the architect, to keep watch over
