play Of the work Of the pupils on ex-

Cardinal Gibbons Fears

"Unless we train and restrain the
children OF our country in distinctly
Christian living, we cannot hope TO
hold fast our Christian civilization In
the years to come when our children
shall be the rulers Of new generation, "
declared Cardinal Gibbons, archbishop
to Bishop Foley in Detroit recently.
"I am afraid that there is some
ground for the fear, expressed, that the
American spirit Is becoming secularized
by the engrossing struggle Of the
present.
"And fear, too, that Americans are
not fully safeguarding the future aga
inst the advance Of that standardization
In the faithful and ever watchful nurture
OF the young in the certain principles
Of religion and morality.
"Sixty or seventy years ago Protest
ant parents were scrupulous to educate
their children in the knowledge Of the
holy scriptures. The children were
familiar with language of Gods word.
But doubt that in the present time
parents are SO careful TO make their
children familiar with the holy scrip
lures as they should be.
"Certainly the Bible is far less quot
ed by public men and writer's, and allusi-
ons to it are less frequent in the daily
acts OF life. Now, il the children are
not carefully trained in Christian
living we cannot hope for the mainten-
ance Of Christian ideals in the future
years"

six o'clock fierce storm of wind, rain

It's Real Delight.

No one, experiencing the delight and
comfort, the economy Of time, labor and
fuel, resulting from using the Gas

when extra heat Is required. Nor is 1t
necessary, as the Kitchen Heater fills
all the needs for heating the kitchen,
consuming garbase and kitchen refuse,
heating the water In the kitchen boiler.

A call st the Gas Office would prove
this for you satisfactorily.

Running q newspaper is just like
running hotel, only different. When
q man goes into hotel and finds some
thing on the table which does not suit
him, he does not raise Hades with the
landlord and tell him to stop his old
hotel. Well hardly. lie sets the dish
to one side and wades into the many
dishes that suit him. 1t is different
with some newspaper readers. They
find an article occasionally that does
not suit them exactly and without
stopping to think it may pleas hund-
reds, of other readers, make grandstand
play and tell the editor how q paper
should be run and what should be put
into il.

The modern home would be as COM
plete without water and sewer as 1t
would without gas and gas range.
While no two women may agree on
any other subject, yet Of the tens Of
thousands OF housewives using Gas
Ranges, all are agreed that they are the
most convenient and durable, econom-
ical and perfect cooking and baking ap-
pliances they ever used or saw.
Select one Of the many up-to-date
styles OF Gas Ranges on display at the
Gas Office and you, too, will realize all
the comfort and satisfaction complete

Mother, Not Old Woman

Don't tcall your mother ''old woman. u
We often hear that from young men.
Stop and think how 1t sounds. Old
lady is bad enough, but the "old
woman" applied to her who gave you
life and nursed your infancy, is rude
and unkind. Once it was "Mother,
I'm hungry, mother mend my jacket,
mother put up my dinner" and many
such things, and mother would spread
the bread with butter and stow away
the lunche on with her heart brimming
for you. Now, 10 she the old woman?

An Old Fable

Here is one of Esop's fables, the
moral of which we are sure will be
apparent to all our readers:
"A poor man, who longed to Get
rich, used to pray day and night
for wealth, to wooden idol which
he had in his house. Notwith-
standing all his prayers, instead of
becoming richer he got poorer. Out
of all patience with his idol, he one
day took it by the legs and dashed
it to pieces upon the floor Hun
dreds of gold pieces, which had
been hidden in the body, flew about
the room. Transported at the
sight, he exclaimed: How have |
wasted my time worshipping a
eraceless deity, who yields to force
what he would not grant to pray
ers,'

The Real Aristocracy

The real aristocracy in any COM
munity are the people who, having
a birthrieht in the place in which
they live, and having eirded them
selves about with honor and integ-
rity, know that nobody anywhere
are better than they are.
They can afford to live economic
cally and plainly, and do their own
work if they choose, and because of
these economies they can take in
and enjoy the higher and better
things Of life. fhey do not need to
have a lot Of money Or to put on
airs; they''are the real quality, and
in their society the simply vulgar
rich, who have nothing but their
money to recommend them, would
feel miserably lonesome and out Of
place. And in this very aristocracy
you will find greater degree Of
decency and refinement and COM
fort and happiness than anywhere
else on earth.-Farmers' Voice

warning For over two years prior

fastly refused the offers of specula-

Two damage suits against auto
mobile owners of Batesville were
settled in circuit court at Batesville
one day recently. The first was
that of Miss Vela Jernigan of Char
lotte, who asked for $4,000 for in
| |juries received last summer in
runaway on Main street of Bates
vile, occasioned, she alleges, by the
careless driving of the automobile
of W. A. Rutherford. 1t was settled
by an agreed judgment for the
plaintiff of $1,000. The other was
the case of Mrs. Tom Simpson VS..
Nathan Adler, in which it was al
legged that the defendent recklessly
ran his automobile into Mrs Simp-
sons buggy. 1t was settled in a
like manner for $3.50.
1t will be remembered that some
months ago near Newark Tommy
Baker, a mere lad, was found dead,
his body being in such a horrible
condition to indicate evidences of a
brutal murder. The lad was seen
last before his death with Mrs. Bag
well of that neighborhood and her
small son, and at an inquest held
over the dead body they were ac-
cused, although wholly upon cir
cumstantial evidence. AT a pre-
liminary trial the charge against
the woman for murder was sus-
tanned, while the son was released
because of his tender age, and she
was placed in Jail, her case resting
with the grand jury. Recently the
grand jury met at Batesville and
began an investigation Of the case
and, although a number Of witness
es were examined, no tangible evi-
dencc was secured against the ac-
cused woman, hence she was re-
leased from further proceedings.
The murder, an unsolved mystery,
was most foul one. The boy was
beaten to death and cast into White
river. The plans for the murder
were so carefully laid and executed
that to detect the unknown guilty
parties or to collect any convicting
evidence, is impossible.
