Quoted by the superintendent and con-
sisted largely of the reading of writ
ten statements by the teachers pres
ent in answer to the question: What
Is the matter with the Bible school 20
The answers were mostly in apprecia-
ton Of what had already been accom-
plished through the efforts of the
school, but emphasized the need Of
greater conservation for the larger
tasks that seemed just at present i'm
posed upon them.

\ CIVIC EVANGELIST IN OUR
MIDST

Mrs. Caroline Bartlett Crane Of Kali
amazoo, Mich, commenced her
survey Of hygienic and sanitary con-
ditions mere Wednesday. She has
been termed a trained diagnostician,
a civic evangelist, and her work in
connection with these matters has
brought her into great prominence
throughout the country. During her
brief stay in Mishawaka she will
strive conscientiously to ascertain the
true conditions and TO treat them
without prejudice and in a spirit of
fairness. While this city lays claim
10 being one OF the cleanest and best
kept perhaps in the state, there is no
doubt but the eminent visitor will be
enabled during her perigrinations
throughout the streets and alleys to
point her finger at some unsightly and
unhealthy spots which may exist and
which the WOman's club is endeavor-
ing to obliterate in its crusade for the
betterment of Mishawaka and its citi-
ZeEs. Mrs. Crane is a shrewd Judge
OF the things political which have
their influence in holding the ChaI-
acter Of city; and people who antici-
pate perfunctory and fulsome compli-
ments for Mishawaka may be obliged
TO be content with praise which will
not obscure technical criticism. The
high school auditorium ought to be
packed Friday night when Mrs. Crane
Will make public the report of her
survey.

Feed out Your Hogs Six Weeks
Earlier

In every lot of hogs on feed two
or three fatten quickly and actually
eat less than others. If all would
fatten like these, the entire drove
would be ready for the market SIX
weeks earlier, and to save six weeks
feed is an item that you fully un-
derstand.
The hog that fattens easily must
be in prime physical condition. The
b. A. Thomas Hog Powder is con-
d.tioner for hogs. 1t keeps their
system clean and healthy and en-
ables them to fatten quickly with
out falling a prey to the usual dis
eases Of hogs. The B. A. Thomas IS
not stock food. It's straight medi-
cine, and we took the agency be-
cause it enables you to feed out
your hogs much earlier. c. S. Kray-

A BIo DIXIE THAT HELD
Hard Work and Nerve Saved ]. y.
Bleakley's Wheat Crop


The Smoky Hill river winds
through Dickinson county for about
GO miles. Along it's banks are some
OF the finest farms in the state.
Last week, while the Smoky was
climbing steadily hundreds OF farm
ers near here we're at work, some
ON their own farms, many aiding
neighbors to throw up protection
against the devastating floods. one
OF the biggest dikes OF the county
and one which saved a big tract OF
land now maturing its crop, was on
Joseph Bleakley's farm at Baker
fridge. Here a dixie as long as two
Abilene blocks was built, and built
lot once but two and three times.
as fast as the rising Smoky tried to
top Il.
Neighbors helped Mr.. Bleakley
and his son, Joseph j., to keep the
dixie above the smoky's ugly crest.
Posts were driven down five or six
feet beneath surface. Around these,
punches OF wheat we're wound to
keep dirt In place. Then over the
wheat was piled dirt. and then more
wheat and more dirt. Three days
and nights the Bleakleys and their
neighbors worked. building the
dixie higher and higher as the river
rose. Friday night was the worst.
Two or three times "Joe" Bleakley
told ''the boys" II was no useI but
his son and the others wouldn't
give up. Once the dixie was torn
open for seven or eight feet. The
water rushed In. Two of the boys
threw themselves in the opening
with big punches OF wheat and laid
there until the rest threw wheat ana
mud about them and filled the
broken place. The river at Its crest
didn't lack an inch OF going over.
Up at the house, the women FOLK
kept coffee hot and sandwiches
ready. and one OF the boys came up
at intervals and carried a lunch
back to the others at the dixie. IL
was n good deal like life in the
trenches over In Europe. They slept
In their boots in the mud, what
sleeping they did.
The river fell Saturday The dixie
which was in bend of the river
saved an S0-acre field of wheat that
will make 25 bushels, as well as
much land to the east along the road
leading to Baker bridge. Further
downstream, water backed up In
draw on to the Whitehair farms
and a fine 6O-acre corn field OF MT
Bleakleys. But he feels himself
fortunate and is proud of the worn
the boys did. He expects to build
a permanent dixie after harvest.
Beside Mr.. Bleakley and his son
-. j." the dikers included Hugh
Holt. BENJAMIN Sexton, Herbert Sex
ton. Clarence Snyder, Wade Snyder
Engle Hershey, Albert Whitehair
Carl Whitehair, Walter Whitehair
Frank Whitehair, Mr.. Smith, A. j.
DAVE, Frank Webster, Henry Web
ster Roy Brown. Emmett Warine
was kept busy hauling groceries
from town to feed the gang in the
trenches.
Across the river, big corn fleld
belonging to Mr.. Bleakley and crops
owned by S. B. Newland, Chris MUS
ser and others were ruined.
At the Case, Whitehair and Estes
farms southeast of Abilene crews OF
djkers labored faithfully for many
hours day and night to hold the wat
er back, and succeeded in part. Ihe
dixie on the Hurd farm west OF
town held, and no crops were dam
aged.
