FIREMEN 60
To War
East Side Company Go South To Fight
Wild Animals.
(FrOm Mondays Daily.

Eleven members of the east side fire
company in three automobiles invaded
New Rome, Adams county yesterday.
Each man was armed with a deadly
weapon.
The rapid division Consisting of a
whole man) was under command
of Art Rintleman, who was gen
eral of the division also the division.
When the troopers arrived at the
battle ground, Art was stationed with
his division on stragetic lane. Pret-
ty soon one of the enemy discovered
his position and commenced an ad-
vance by rushes. AS soon as he could
see the white of the enemy's eye, Art
let go with his rapid firer, four rounds
were fired but still the enemy ad-
vanced. at the fifth round, just as the
enemy was mounting the trench, he
was shot and Art stopped to pick up
the rabbit before joining his comrads.
The brigade managed to kill 80 of
the enemy, that would be an average
of three a piece, but wesnt as some
did not shoot any and some only shot
one. Now if it had been a fire, there
were only 80 fires and all of the II
men, it would have been pipe. Each
man would easily have averaged three.
The fire will be built, however, We'd

showed it was only General Schuman

THE JOKE WAS
On THE editor

A good joke on an editor who went
one evening to report party at a
home recently blessed with a new
baby. He met his hostess at the
door, and after the usual salutations
he asked after the baby's health The
lady who was quite deaf, and suffering
with the grippe, thought he was ask
ing after her cold, and answered that
although she usually had one every
winter, this was the worst one she
ever had; it kept her awake at night
a good deal and at first confined her
to bed. Then noticing that the news
paper man was getting nervous she
said she could tell by his looks that
he was going to have one just like
hers, and asked him to go in and sit
down.

FARMERS NEED THE BIRDS
For Purely Selfish Reasons the De-
struetion Of Feathered sonasters
Should Be Stopped.

Birds are the chief protectors OF
our trees. Who ever heard OF cod
ling moth and San Jose and other
scales when the orchards were full
of birds? Now that these feathered
helpers have been driven out of wood
and field, man is compelled to resort
to all sorts of vexatious and difficult
struggles against the enemy of fruit
and tree.
The birds are the very best destroy.
ers of weeds. Native sparrows, finches,
grosbeaks, redpolls, longspurs, cow
birds, mourning doves and similar
birds feed hungrily upon the fall
weed seeds at time when the crops
have been gathered and they can do
no harm to it.
The best helper a farmer can have
is host of birds. But instead of rec
ognizing these efficient helpers, so
generously provided by nature, we
wantonly Stay them by the hundreds
for fun.-Kendallville News-Sun.

began to promote in the boy an inter-
est in the duck-shooting trip-an in
terest which had already awakened.
despite the rifleman's inherent con-
tempt for shotguns.
Il reckon I'd like it, all right" he
said, land I'll bring back some ducks,
if I'm lucky"
So, Lescott arranged the outfit, and
Samson awaited the news of the COM
ing flights.
That same evening, Farbish dropped
into the studio, explaining that he had
been buying a picture at Collasso's,
and had taken the opportunity to stop
by and hand Samson visitors card
to the Kenmore club. He found the
ground of interest fallow, and artfully
sowed it with wellchosen anecdotes
calculated to stimulate enthusiasm.
On leaving the studio, he paused to
say:
"Tll let you know when conditions
are just right" Then, he added, as
though in afterthought: And I'll ar
range so that you won't run up on
Wilfred Horton"
What's the matter with Wilfred
Horton?" demanded Samson, shade
CURLY.
Nothing at ALL" replied Farbish,
with entire gravity. Personally, l
thought you might find things more
congenial when he wasn't among
those present"
Samson was puzzled, but he did not
fancy hearing from this mans lips
criticisms upon friends of his friends.
well, reckon" he said, coolly,
I'D like him, too"
81 beg your pardon" said the other.
II suppose you knew, or shouldn't
have mentioned the subject l seem
to have said too much"
"See here, Mr.. Farbish," Samson
spoke quietly, but imperatively; IF
you know any reason why shouldn't
meet Mr.. Wilfred Horton, want you
to tell me what it is. He is friend
of my friends. You say you've said
too much. l reckon you've either
said too much, or too little"
Then, very insidiously and artistical-
ly, seeming all the while reluctant and
apologize, the visitor proceeded to
plant in Samson's mind an exagger-
ated and untrue picture of Horizons
contempt for him and of Horizons re-
sentiment at the favor shown him by
the Lescotts.
Samson heard him out with face
systematically set, and his voice was
soft, as he said simply at the end;
Pm obliged to YOU"
