Population In United States,

The United States at present is in nc
danger of overpopulation. The Japa-
nese empire has about 5O,OOO.OOO peo-
pie. and the japanese empire is Of the
same area as the single state of Cali
fornia. The German empire has Ca
100000, and the German empire is co.
600 square miles less than the state OF
Texas. The United States of America
could furnish room and support for at
least billion human beings. 1t will
be long time before the danger line is
reached in this nation and the popula-
ton begin to encroach upon the means
of subsistence. There is no cause for
immediate worry.-Exchange.

SIeep and PLAY,

If we want to sleep every night we
should work and play every day. Blu,
the play must be play in its essence
that is. we must enjoy it. This is the
gist of DR.. c. W. Saleeby's hints on
exercise for business men. Nature is
not so diabolically contrlved, he says,
that anything we enjoy is bad for us.
I'VE daily need work to discipline us,
maintain our physical. mental and NOR.
al fiber; we daily need play to hearteD
us Gt may be cricket. music. chess. ge-
ology or even golf; We are all as differ.
emit as our faces and have different
needs accordingly. and We nightly
need sleep to restore u.s." DIR. Saleeby

lieving that the best plan is "a holiday

The pitch of musical tone can be

musical instrument are adjusted ac-

string the greater the Migratory speed
and higher the pitch; the longer. coars'

These figures have not always been

man Is said to have sworn that he
would get White" and re-entered the
place through another door. He was
promptly put out and did not return.
White left short time afterwards
This occurred about 10 o'clock and
was the last time that White was seen
alive, SO far as can be ascertained
now.
The police spent most of the day
making an investigation of this trou-
BILE but have made no arrests. 1t was
reported that the young man who had
threatened White, left town but this
has not been proven and the police re-
fused to give out information on the
matter This clue will probably be
worked on more than any other as it
was the most recent threat that had
been made against White.
1t Is said that White was implicated
in q case with a married woman
whose husband made various threats
against him. Whether these threats
were carried out Saturday night is not
known but the man may be arrested
on suspicion and closely examined.
Not Hard Drinker.
White had been drinking Saturday
night but was not intoxicated, no Cd
or Of liquor issuing from him when
his body was found. He had reputa-
ton of being a sober man generally
and was said to avoid trouble whenev-
er possible. Although several threats
have been made on his life in the past,

Mayor w. w. Zimmerman passed
near where White was found a few
minutes before the body was discover
ed. After the body was found he was
Immediately notified and came to the
spot. He is working on the case but
refused to give out mis- opinion.
Theory of Coroner.
One tooth was found on the lapel of
Whites coat, and several others were
knocked out from the force of the
blow. Coroner Pierce stated this morn
ing that he believed that White was
assaulted with a brick covered with
cloth or some other material, but
stated that he had no proof of this
and bruises on the mans face. Others
think that White was struck with a
sand bag.
White spent most of his time before
coming to this city on a farm in
Franklin township, near Whitewater.
He had been working in Richmond for
two years. most of the time at the
Watt and Keelor Coffin factory. For
the past two weeks he had been en-
ployed at the livery barn of William
Rich on Fort Wayne avenue, where
he had been making his home for
some time He was not married, being
survived by one brother and two sis
ters who live in Franklin township.
His funeral will be Tuesday morning
at 10 o'clock from the New Paris
Methodist church. He will be buried at
the New Paris cemetery.

habit often goes with a hasty temper,

Games For chiidren's Parties.

Do not choose an elaborate game for
a children's party. You must not, for
instance. have one which involves the
use Of song or speech. as many of the
children will not know the words and
consequently will feel "out of it." A
clever game Of the "sit down and
think" kind may be very good for
grown people. but 1t merely bores the
little ones and makes them cross and
tired.
