Dinner and Ball Game
Feature Of Picnic

Il was toss up as to which was the
greatest feature. the dinner or the ball
game at the Methodist Sunday school
picnic yesterday At the noon hour
all voted that the dinner was about
the biggest feature that ever figured
in any event, but someway. along
about o'clock, there didn't seem to
be anybody that was ever SO terribly
crazy about dinners aud many showed
a strong inclination to crawl off some
where and just rest
The way the youngsters fell to- at
the refreshment tank was something
wonderful to behold, also the way a
52-pound boy could put away such
quantities Of soda water, red at that,
and ice cream, was barely short OF
marvellous The moment a hint Of an
invitation was given by the teachers
IN charge, the crew OF young Ameri
cans swooped down upon the supply

to furnish the additional books secur-
ed in the 1912 adoption should that
adoption be held to be valid. The at
gncys for the other six publishers
announced to the court that they were
lot party to this agreement as their
case had not been appealed
'The time has passed in which an
appeal co.. be taken in these other
cases and the injunction they secured
from the district court stands which
makes their contracts for the present
valid under the law. These companies
announce that they intend to furnish
their books for the use Of the schools
beginning September 1 and that they
would be liable on their bond il not
furnished They also claim that the
use Of any other book will be a viola
tion Of the law.
4 have always contended that the
contracts made last summer were
regular and valid. IN this position /
have been sustained by both Judges
Carney and Clark in cases that came
before them involving a Judicial con-
structio nof the law bearing on this
controversy.
"The law makes It the duty Of the
state Superintendent to enforce the
law providing for uniform text books.
Unless the adoption Of 1912 is good
there is no adoption Of text books, for
the 1903 adoption expires August I,
1913, and cannot be renewed except
by act Of the legislature and the house
refused twice to continue the 1908
adoption and the senate refused once
to do so, in the session just closed.
1T is presumed that all Of the pub.
fishers who secured contracts in 1912
will have their books on sale in the
state by September 1, If their con.
tracts are not legal, there is no adop
tion and the use of these or any c, her
books will be lawful II the adoption
Of 1912 is legal, then 1t Will be unlaw
full to use any Of the 1908 books not
readopted in 1912 or any other book
not adopted in 1912. So 1t appears tc
be the safe thing for the publishers
who secured contracts in 1912 to avoid
liability on their bonds; and for teach
ers, school officers and patrons to es
cape penalties for violating the uni
form text book law by complying will

Inc reports {. the s.a la ol s a-
tracts made last summer have been
circulated BY different people. The
following interview from supt. Wilson
gives complete history Of the c5n-
troversy. It is his opinion that we
either have the 1912 adoption or none.
Contracts we're made by the old
state board Of education on Saturday,
July n, 1912, for spelling books and
teachers registers and on Monday,
July 29, 1912, contracts were made
with various publishers for the other
text books. On Saturday, July 27,
1912, the governor demanded the res
ignations Of four board members. On
Monday, July 20, 1912, supt. Branden-
burg resigned as requested, the other
three members did not and about the
time the contracts were made the gov,
ernor claimed to have summarily re-
moved the three members. The gov
ernor announced prior to the time the
contracts were made that he thought
it bad politics to make book adop-
tion during a political campaign and
unless we postponed the adoption that
he would not approve any contracts,
When the contracts were presented to
MIN he resigned to approve them.
"0n or about May 10, 1918, the gov
ernor approved the contract made on
Saturday, July 27 1912, for the spell
ing books and register
May 27, 1918, the board advertised

arrives, the situation in Mexico TO-DAY
was more quiet than at any time in the

Advices received indicate that both
factions in Mexico are keenly watch

mediation proposal has aroused great
interest and prominent members of
the Mexican colony said they thought
it might be accepted.

about the Mexican situation, sounded
out sentiment among members OF the
house generally and recorded a de
cided feeling against Intervention and
in favor Of backing up any diplomatic
move President Wilson and his advls
ers may feel disposed to make.

entirely the shipment of arms into
Mexico from the United States, Prof

The key was one of the first things
invented by man. The primitive key
was probably a thorn or splinter.
Afterward fish bones seem to have
come into use. Wooden pegs fol-
lowed these. In modern times the
process of manufacturing keys is very
highly developed. Fifty years ago
there were only some hundred varie-
ties of keys, each having its special
name and distinct use. Today they
are legion.-Harper's Weekly.

IT'S MAYOR KELLER.

Fred w. Keller has been elected
for mayor OF South Bend. BY a ma
jority which must be pleasing 10 the
successful candidate Mr.. Keller won
out in a hard fought fight. Twelve
years of domination by any one party
makes it's further succession a diff
cult matter. No matter how satisfac-
tory the service. the people become
FESTIVE for a change.
Under ordinary conditions the
chances for democratic victory would
have been questionable. The appar-
ent split in the republican ranks gave
hope for democratic success but this
consideration was not of sufficient mo-
ment TO withstand the fusion forces
back of Mr.. Keller.
Mr.. Joyce fought hard TO win and
he fought clean. Aside from the dis
appointment in defeat. he need have
no regrets for any phase OF his con-
duct as a candidate
M. Keller will assume office sup
ported by a majority of the common
council. He Is qualified To give the
city an efficient administration. To
that end he will unquestionably direct
all his efforts. In so doing he will
have the support of all the people.
We bespeak for him a most success
full tenure in office, To the benefit OF
the best city in Indiana.
