ADELE'S
ARGUMENT

Il don't know of another single sub
ject about which so many fallacies
exist as that of feminine Oddities
said Adele. AS she said it she looked
at her husband in a way that meant
she was in the mood for a discussion
So he contradicted her at once, just
to oblige.
You can't deny, my dear, that wo-
men are less straightforward than
men," he said.
She laughed derisively "Do you
really cling to that old theory?' she
asked. eff you do, you have simply
accepted what has been handed down
to you without ever trying to apply
it."
Apply it for me, if you can," he
suggested.
Il can give you a dozen examples"
Adele replied, loftily.
"One will do" he answered
We'll come back to that said
Adele, after brief pause. What l
was thinking of particularly was that
women are supposed to be vainer than
men. AS a matter of fact, men are
twice as fussy about their appearance
as women are, and it takes them
twice as long to get ready to go any
where. Another thing. Women are
supposed to be more easily f1attered
than men, and yet every girl in her
teens knows how to flatter a man, and
how to pretend that she believes his
fatteries
Yet you said they were more
straightforward than mem"
Don't evade the point at ISSUE"
said Adele, severely. This is some
thing altogether different If a girl
tells man that he should never wear
anything but brown because it suits
him so we'll he will laugh at the idea
of her supposing he gives a thought
to his clothes and remark, carelessly,
I really hadn't noticed just what color
this suit was; it is the weight of the
material that guides my selection
But, if you observe him from that
time on you will notice that every
thing he buys is brown; and he will
continue to be brown until some other
girl tells him something else.
Now, on the other hand" contin-
ued Adele, warming to her subject, ''if
a man tells a girl that she should
wear certain color she is pleased to
thank him for his advice and compli-
mentS his discrimination until he feels
that no one has ever realized before
his talent along the line of color

here was easy upon the surface. This is
due in part TO the purpose of lenders to

SQUIRREL HUNTING is
NOW ON FULL BLAST
Open Season Was UShered in
Last Midnight.
COUNTY CLERK is BUSY.

The squirrel hunting season opened
today and will remain open during the
months of July, August and Septem-
Der. County Clerk Penny was busy
this morning issuing hunters licenses,
as that duty has been imposed upon
him by an act passed at the last ses-
sion of the legislature. You pay him
81 and then you can hunt the elusive
squirrel in any county in the state. If
you are farmer you can hunt without
a license. under the new game law, pro-
vided you confine your Nimrodic pur-
suits within the confines of your own
farm or farms. The new law also pro-
vides that any person can hunt Brer
Rabbit without license if Brer Rabbit
is run down within the boundaries of
the township in which the hunter re-
sides.
During the month of June, Clerk
Penny issued fifty hunters licenses.
He wishes it made known that all
hunters who last November received
licenses from Mr.. Sweeney, state COM
missioner of fisheries and game, can
hunt under these licenses until they
expire the coming November.

HAD A NARROW ESCAPE
IN RUNAWAY ACCIDENT |
Experience of Arthur H. HOd-
son and His Wife.
THROWN FROM THE BUGGY.

Arthur H. Hodson and wife of Cam
bridge City, had a narrow escape from
serious injury in a runaway accident
which occurred on the eastern out
skirts of Centerville, Sunday after
noon. They were driving toward this
city when their horse became fright
ened at the interurban car which left
this city at 2:30 O'Clock, wheeled and
overturned the buggy, throwing both
occupants to the ground. They were
badly bruised and We're taken into the
home of Wilfred Jessup where a ply
sician was summoned and their injur-
les attended to. 1t is not thought eth
er will suffer any serious results.
The horse, after overturning the bug
gy, dragged it about quarter of
mile west before it was stopped in the
yard of George Sanders of Centerville
The buggy was almost a complete
wreck.

AGED WANDERER IS.
SENT TO POOR FARM
George 0rme, .Englishman, Is
Given Home by Wayne

were made Sunday, as to whether
George Orme, the aged Englishman.
arraigned in police court Saturday
morning for drunk. and who related a
story of ungrateful children. who cast
him out into the world, was formerly
a resident of Richmond. he was taken
to the county farm Sunday, where he
will make his home.
With tears streaming down his
wrinkled face and with choking voice.
the aged man clasped the hands of po-
lice headquarters attaches and sin
cerely thanked them for the efforts
they had made to secure for him a
home in his old age. The old mans
chin quivered as he looked into the
eyes of those who have taken such a
kindly interest in him. Not a man in
the superintendents office at the time
touched.
Orme was allowed to leave the con-
fines of the Jail Sunday where he has
been kept, and during the day sat
around headquarters sobbing He
spoke only when spoken to. The
thoughts of having to enter poor
farm when he had so many relatives
who might have sheltered him in his
old age, completely overcame the old
man. At the time he was removed
to the infirmary he had on his person
just $16.06. the only money remain
ing from the sale of his Chicago prop
erty.
Local police officers have not had a
case in years which has so touched
them. The man spoke intelligently
and had a good and kindly face. His
English extraction is plainly stamp
ed upon him and he speaks with the
English accent.

1T Is Not True That the Limit
Of Bonded Indebtedness
Has Been Reached.
STILL A GOOD MARGIN.
GET BIDDERS CN THE WEST
SIDE SEWER is THAT CoNTRAc-
TORS ARE BUSY.

Richmond city officials are up in
arms. and justly indignant over the re-
ports which have been circulated both
locally and in the state papers during
the past few weeks. that the one reason
the city cannot secure bidders on the
West Side Sewer project, is because
the city has reached the limit of bond
ed Indebtedness. According to the
last assessment. the taxable property
in Richmond is S13,121, ,915, two per
cent of which determines the limit. to
which the city can take on bonded in
debtedness. This two per cent is
$274. $500. while the actual bonded
Indebtedness of the city at the present
time is 500, 800, leaving a balance of
SG4, ,05S.30 before the limit is reached
The city has, according to the state
ments of the local officials, no right to
turn over city bonds for promotion
of the sewer project in case it should
see fit. although the amount remain
ing would he sufficient to guarantee
payment for the West Side sewer. in
case the city was allowed to take such
action
