CANVASS PLANNED BY
BAPTIST TRUSTEES

An every member canvass is what
the trustees of the First Baptist
church considered at a special meet
ing at the chapel in Fayette street
last night. The plan is for the
church support and missions in ac-
cordance with the general program
adopted by the Northern Baptist
convention some time ago.
The church uses twin envelopes
by which subscribers may make
weekly payments. Rev. William H.
Bawden, pastor, had printed a sched-
ule of the church expenses and mis-
sionary apportionments which he
had distributed at a previous Sunday
this month and has appealed to the
members of the church and cOngre-
CATION to form, as it We're, a syndi-
cate and underwrite the amount
fully. The plan is believed to be the
best means of raising funds for the
church and missions. The trustees
have already taken up the work and
hope to see the plan worked out to
success.

Burlington, Cape May and Passaic
counties are so strongly Republican
that under normal conditions this
four to two victory for the Demo-
Gratis would be hopeless. The Demo-
leaders are counting on the
popularity of Governor Wilson as
the presidential candidate in his
home state and the split in the Re-
publican ranks to throw the senate
into their hands. The Republican
leaders express confidence that they
will maintain control in the senate
by the present vote, if they do not
gain any seats.
There are primary contests for the
assembly nominations in one or the
other, or both, of the two parties in
practically every county in the state.

Comforter were opened yesterday

Burmese PagOdas.

Eight of nine miles below Manda-
lay, in Burma, the right bank of the
Irrawaddy is billy, and in the neigh

Sagaing the hills are dotted all over
with pagodas. These are not tenn

by pious people as offerings to the
Supreme Power, It being generally
believed that such acts of devotion
count to the builders credit in the
next world. The pagodas are of all
kinds, according to the means of the
builders, from primitive white-wash-
ed structures to ornate erections
with grotesque gilded lions. TIL,

lions have various meanings, but
stand chiefly as a reminder of unset
fish devotion. An ancient Burmese
legend, taught to all Burmese chill

and who died of a broken heart
when the prince grew up and went

CHAIRMAN WOODWARD.

In the election of Fred Woodward
of South Bend, county attorney and
former republican county chairman,
as chairman of the Thirteenth In
diana Congressional district, the dis
trict convention In this city yester-
day selected man who is a thor
ough republican, who believes in
clean and upright political methods
and who is full of that energy so
essential in political leader. More
than this he believes political battles
can best be won though harmonious
methods and that, therefore, one of
the greatest esse ltleis to republican
success is harmtoy. lie is a clean
cut, upright BUSINESS. man who has
proven by his methods that he be-
heves only In cleanliness in politics
and loyalty to the party of his
choice.
In selecting Mr.. Woodward we
believe the republicans of the dis
trict have made no mistake. His
public utterances at the convention
and since stamp him man of Broad
guage and one who will serve as
chairman of all republicans and not
a few. His aim. we are confident,
will be to exercise his best judg-
ment, to confer with republicans on
the widest policies to pursue and to
do his best to carry those policies to
successful issue. Such man is
needed for district leader; a man of
unselfish interests, Of broad views
and one who recognizes that he is
chosen because he is a loyal republic
an and to exercise his strongest tai
ents to bring success to the repub-
lican party.-South Bend Tribune.

WATCH JACK FROST.

From various parts of the coun-
try come reports of damage caused
by water pipes freezing and burst
Ing this cold weather. Warsaw had
a store flooded by a pipe bursting
In an office above. Ball & Co. had
a similar experience a few weeks
ago, and In numbers of houses there
has been more or less flooding.
Fruit and vegetables in many cellars
are damaged, and the loss is quite
general. There will be more of it,
unless people are careful. Few
seem to realize how frost acts. The
moment the mercury comes above
the zero mark, many who used
extra precautions for the extremes
of ten to twenty below, seem to
think all danger is past, when in
fact it has only commenced. In
several buildings in the city people
let the water run during the extreme
cold spell. but as soon as it got few
degrees warmer, shut off the flow.
and now find the pipes frozen, and
can get no water. They immediate
ly blame the city for the trouble,
saying it did not freeze in the very
cold weather, and why should it
now. The fact is that even with it
thawing a trife in the middle of the
day, the frost is stiff going down in
the ground. The mercury ranging
from ten to fifteen above does not
check the downward tendency of the
frost in the ground that ha6 been
started by a cold snap of several
days of ten to fifteen below. It
stands to reason that the precau-
tions to insure flow of water must
be kept up until there is decided
break up, before we can count our
selves on the safe side. The city
council cannot keep the frost out of
the ground and in this kind of
weather. the 9asiest and most
sensible thing to do is to let the
water run. pay for a little more
water, instead of having to have no
water, bursted pipes, flooded build
ings, and plumbers bills.

MORE PAVING FOR ARGOS.
Two Petitions Before Town Board
For Improving Michigan and
Broadway Streets-Indebted-

Argos, Feb. 8.-Two petitions for
paving were presented to the town
board at its meeting last night. One
was for the paving of Michigan
street from the north to the south
limits of the town, and the Nickel
Plate depot. These petitions did
not state what kind of materials
were to be used, but a committee of
FIVE was appointed to act with the
board to investigate what materials
are best for use in paving such as is
desired. There will probably be 1S
inch cement cutters on each street.

Over $50 People Pack the Home In

Fully a hundred and fifty people
crowded themselves into the home of
Mr.. and. Mrs. Sam earn Of West
township last night in surprise on
their friends and neighbors. 1t was
one of the biggest surprises that ever
was held in any part of the county
and will be long remembered by
those present, especially by those in
whose honor it. was given.
About two dozen went out from
Plymouth, including Ira and Ed

so-packed by the large number there
that no program of Entertainment

In spite of the Inconvenience no
end of fsn was had and the con-
versation was one round Of jollity.
Sam says he is going to tear down
his barns and build greater, so the
next time his friends come he will
have room to entertain them. Mr..
earn will have sale soon and move
to Plymouth, where he will occupy
the John Kuhn property on the
south side.

Lincoln Social.

The "Lincoln" social given by the
Epworth League at the home of
Minnie Swindell was a success In
every way.
Pictures and relics of "Lincoln"
were on every hand, and the eve
ning's program was replete with
Lincoln stories and anecdotes. The
p" Gettysburg Address by Lawton
Brown "The Toy Shop" by Mrs.
Frank Southworth and readings by
Rose Matthew, Mary Fraley and
Stanley Brown were much enjoyed
by all. Mr. Foster Helms contribut-
ed the musical part of the program
and while his musical talent has
long been suspected. it was not until
last night that the budding genius
fully bloomed forth.
The efficient police force consist
ing of Prof. Outer, VIM. Auer,
Gerald Overmyer. Roland Metsker,
and Howard Duncan, would be a
credit to any city and soon collected
fines totaling ten Lincoln pennies,
which all were expected to bring.
At one stage of the proceedings
the gentlemen were becomingly at
tired in aprons, and their efforts to
get rid of them we're both laughable
and polite.
All went home feeling happy, and
vowing to attend the next one Of
"them Epworth League Socials" at
which Miss Minnie Swindell so charm
ingly presides.

President Roosevelt, in his special
message transmitting to Congress the
report Of the Country Life Com
mission, called attention to the fact
that if colnry life was to become
what it should be, Zone Of the most
dignifed, desirable and sought-after
ways of earning a living, the farm
er must take advantage not only of
the agricultural knowledge which
Is at his disposal, but of the methods
which have raised and continue to
raise the standards of living and Of
intelligence in other callings." :
President Roosevelt directed atten
ton to the fact that in other call
ings it had been found necessary to
organize for mutual advantage,
and said: European country have
realized this essential fsscs and have
found in the cooperative system ex-
actly the form of business combina-
ton they need" He declared that
"the introduction Of effective
agricultural cooperation throughout
the United States is of the first i'm
portance, and that it would place
the farmers on a level with the or
gained interests with which they
do business"

Fire At Floyd Jocoby's.

At nine O'Clock Friday morning
an explosion caused by a leaking
gasoline engine on the farm Of
Floyd Jacoby, east of the city, set
fire, to the corn crib, which was en-
tirely destroyed, together with
from 1900 to 400 bushels of corn,
and 200 to 300 bushels of oats. Mrs.
Jacoby heard the report of the ex-
plosion, and when she got to the
door the building was a mass of
flames. The loss will be quite heavy
as the buildings were new. and the
grain will be worth less.
