.PURTELLE NOW
IN lOGAhSPORT
Electric Road Vision Up
Before Logansport Com
mercial Club.

The consummate nerve and stick-to-
itiveness of Eugene Purtelle. the erst-
while traction promoter. is shown by
bis action in sticking to his plan to in
duce the people of this state to build
a traction line for him.
The Jasper County Democrat has the
following about Ptfrtelles latest move:
Eugene Purtelfe, the check swindler
and notorious dead-beat railroad pro-
inoter, has now interested the Logans-
port Commercial club in his electric
railroad visions in that vicinity and
may perhaps find enough suckers to
enable him to square his bad checks
and other accounts here--if he has a
mind to square them. But judging from
his past record he will pay attention
TO them, no matter how much he may
succeed In raising In the City of
Bridges.

That Some of Features at Gary Schools For Child
Education Are Open to Criticism

The highly lauded school system of

could well be copied in Joliet. But
believe that the Joliet system has sew

the superintendent there are ten

the public schools and two years of

In the arrest of James Cumming, an

that they may have one of the men wh5
have been impersonating telephone en-

entrance to Chicago houses whre they

Cummings was arrsted last night by
Deer Mcdonald who picked him up as

pocket was found pair of plyers

A Happy Farmer.

A certain class of newspaper men,
says an exchange, assert that farmer
is the most independent man on earth,
and that he has nothing to do but en-
joy life. That when winter comes and
the blizzard's on the wing he toasts
his feet in the oven and reads the To-
cal newspaper and the only thing that
distlrbs him is call three times day
to banquet of mlnce pies and other
luxuries. It is..a mistake. The indds-
trious farmer begins work long before
the sun thinks of getting up. With
his soul shrouded in gloom he proceeds
to build fire and soften his boots with
q sledge hammer. He then takes a
lantern and shovels his way to the
barn and feeds the hogs. 1t is then
time to feed the newly arrived calf,
which seems to delight in butting a
pail of milk over the tiller of the soil
until he only needs to be stamped to
pass for package of oleomargarine.
He crawls through a barbwire fence
and digs the hay out of the snow,
feeds the COWS, cleans the stable,
gathers up the frozen chicks, chases
stray pig worth 25 cents four miles,
and does not catch it, doctors a sick
horse, freezes his fingers, gets kicked
by one eyed mule. and when the
cleaning comes Ind quietness broods
over all the earth, he has single half
hour to mediate and wonder how he
will pay his taxes.
