FINE OPPORTUNITY
FOR INVESTMENT
Lots in First Sunnyside Subdivision
Placed on the Market.

When an inventor buys real estate
for a home site he should carefully
consider seven points: Location, dis
lance from the heart of the city, prox-
unity to schools and churches, other
desirable residences in the same
neighborhood, street improvements,
size of lots and price
With this idea in view the +. Louis
Kuhns' First Sunnyside sub division
has been placed on the market and
the owner is positive that no other
addition to South Bend has so many
advantages.
Less than mile from the city's
center, situated high above the city
and valley of the st. Joseph. il is in
deed an ideal residence section. The
very name Of Sunny side has always
been associated with pure air and
wholesome surroundings. The large
estates in the immediate neighbor-
hood have been pointed out with
pride for many years.
Now comes the opportunity to pur-
chase a home site in the immediate
neighborhood at an extremely low
price. All the advantages Of the
perfect location obtainable at a modest
figure. All the improvements that
the exacting householder requires for
his convenience and comfort. And all
included in the original purchase
price.
Think what this means to the in
ventOr. He sees his property improv-
ed as IL should be without any addi-
tional expense or vexatious delays. His
water, gas, pavement, curb and shade
trees are in. There's isn't any doubt
as TO when they will be installed. He
can start building his home within
"a hours after he has purchased his
! lot if he so desires.
The prices of lots range from s45(
| to $3.50; the size from 49X12O &c

A Great Feat.

Tuesday we received the following
telegram from Rev R L Holroyd,
presiding elder of the Kingstree dis
trict: "Kingstree district is out on
missions. That is to say, every church
in every charge in the Kingstree
district has met its assessment for
missions for 1913. Our Sunday
schools are rallying to Brazil special
and we expect to succeed. June has
been set Iapart as church extension
month. Our slogan is, Full collec-
tions. ,"
This is probably as fine report as
was ever made in our connection.
There are in the Kingstree district
twenty-one charges and seventy
three churches. This report means
that each one of these seventy-three
churches has paid its mission assess
ment in full. That is certainly q
magnificent report. Then note that
the Sunday-schools are rallying to
the Brazil special, and further note
that the month of June is set apart
especially for the church extension
collections. We presume that Broth
er Holroyd proposes to neglect none
of the claims, but that all of them
will be paid in full. So mote it be.
If he can, by the next conference,
have so developed his work that
each individual church will'have paid
in full its assessments, for all pur-
poses, he will have accomplished q
feat that twenty years ago would
have been considered practically inn
possible. We most heartily congrat-
ulate the Kingstree district and it's
presiding elder on this great achieve
ment.
And now let US amidst all this f.
nancial prosperity suggest to every
pastor that he make even more
strenuous efforts to bring about a
great revival of religion. The Kings
tree district last year reported 6,97S
members. May there be at the en-
suing annual conference a report of
more than 5000. Let the spiritual
and financial progress be at least
pari passu.-SOuthern Christian i'd.

Just for Convenience.

Entirely apart from the many
other advantages of a Person
al Checking Account at the
Bank, the convenience of it is
no small consideration. The
ability to make purchases and
pay bills after banking hours
without the necessity of al.
ways having a pocketful OF
money is worth a great deal.
With e. Check Book in your
pocket, 5ou are taking no risks
of losing money and yet you
always have all of your money
on hand and ready for use.
One is as liable to need money
before nine in the morning or
after three as between those
hours. The Personal Check
Book settles the matter.

The Hobble Skirt.

Ever since the hobble skirt and
the other new wrinkles in feminine
fnery put in their appearance they
have been the targets for unappre-
ciative mankind. First they were
roundly denounced from pulpit and
platform; later it was attempted in
some States to legislate them out of
existence. and finally in desperation
man turned for a weapon to ridicule,
of which the following is a sample:
Little girl you look so small,
Don't you wear no clothes at all?
Don't you wear no "shimmy" shirt?
Don't you wear no petty skirt?
Just your corset and your hose
Are these all your underclothes?
Little girl, when on the street,
You appear to be all feet. -
With your dress so very tight
You're indeed an awful sight;
Nothing on to keep you warm, -
Crazy just to show your form. .--
Little girl, you won't live long, -
Just because you dress all wrong. !
Can't you wear more underclothes .-
Than your corset and your hose?
After while I do believe
You will dress like Mother Eve.
But all this to no avail. The more
men denounced the fashions, the
more women determined to be right
up-to-date in the matter Of wearing
apparel. The more men engaged in
metaphorical kicks, the more women
frightened their skirts so that they
couldn't perform actual kicks. Hav-
ing noticed this tendency we cannot
help wondering what would be the
result if men as a whole would take
the view of the matter expressed at
a recent gathering of Chicago ply
sicians. These doctors went on rec
ord as favoring tight skirts. Some
of them actually made speeches in
favor Of the much-abused modern
dress. Plated and wide skirts are
the finest little germ carriers that
were ever invented, said DR. Curry.
when saw the women of few
years ago switching that wide, germ
laden skirt from a public street car
into her home | shuddered."
DR. Arthur R Reynolds had decid-
edly definite views. AS long as the
individual can walk to her own per-
sonal comfort" he said. the mar
row skirt is splendid thing. It is
not the germ carrier that the wider
skirt is. Moreover,if you have ever
noticed,it often corrects a bad walk.
American women think it is stylish
and pretty to'turn their feet out at
right angles while walking. This, a
narrow skirt makes it difficult to do;
therefore, it is a good thing. The In
dian walked naturally and turned his
toes slightly in. The narrow skirt is
gradually correcting a manner OF
walking that was surely breaking
down the arch of American women's
feet"
Well, well! Maybe after all these
gentlemen have solved the problem.
So all together, now, men! Boost
the hobble skirt. Boost it as you
would the home team when it is
