The last Indiana legislature appro-

be inadequate, however, and bill will
be presented in January asking for
$4,000 additional. According to VIM.
P. O'Neill, chairman of the Indiana
Commission, this additional $4,000
will be appropriated
"Our building will cost $50,0O0,"
says Mr.. O'Neill. but it will represent
considerably more money, inasmuch
as the stone, brick, stain. varnish
plumbing fixtures, kitchen outfit, etc.,
have been donated.
"Our agricultural and live stock ex-

The mule, he lives on anything;
He's got a lovely voice to sing,
And when he Let's it loose at noon,

He stands around with sleepy eye
And looks as if he'd like to die,
But when there's amy dying done,

They say they amt got intellect;

And want a way THAT doesn't fail,
