An Appreciation.

Today's Mishawaka section
of The News-Times carries more
advertisements than II, or any
paper in the city has ever done.
This IS an eloquent tribute TO
the power behind Nsws-Times
advertising in the Msshawaka
pages OF the paper.
This record-breaking Christ
mas advertising enterprise has
resulted in no less than $50 in
ches Of display advertising, rep
resenting more than so OF the
city's business men.
Il represents practically ev-
cry mercsnti house in Mish-
awake and comprises approx
mately 40 columns or advertis-
ing-a feat unprecented in the
history of the city.
That The News-Times in
Mishawaka is appreciated is
evident from the patronage be-
slowed on it by the business
men. It's fearless treatment of
all subjects; it's up-to-the-
minute news service and its un-
exceled circulation arrange
ment have made it the paper of
the city.
We take this opportunity of
thanking our advertisers, our
readers. and the public general
ly for the support extended to
us during the year, and wish
one and all a Merry Christmas.
w. z. WALLACE, Mgr,
Mishawaka.

HUTCHINSON WRITES OF
WOES.

Ralph Hutchinson, with the
American expeditionary forces
in France has sent another of
his prose rhymes for publication
in The News-Times. He calls il
The Joys OF Slumber."
There is a class Of noisesome
pest that's always breaking up
my rest; these guys that go TO
bed at nine, and cuss me when
I come TO mine at ten or 'leven.
as may be they say I've been up
on a spree, and call me night
owl, sport or such. yet haven't
got il on me much. They go 20
bed when dusk is near: / go TO
bed 70 pound my ear: they lie
and talk till midnights past, and
then go TO sleep at last. for
two wee hours Till peep of day,
and then they pull me from the
hay. They say I am lazy
hound. because when daylight
comes around. 1 try TO get
little snooze: They'll drive me
back to hosting booze. I'd ike
to buy a can OF coke and put
it in their evening smoke, just
for a chance to pound the sheets
until tits time to rise for eats.
I'm always late for morning
chow; the sergeants always raise
a row because I'm late for WORK
eacn day; they say I sleep my
life away; they cuss me till the
air is blue and give me extra
work TO do. / dare not punch
them in the ear, of summary
courts I have a fear, for then
they'd throw me in the clink;
discretion makes me stop and
think. My face is changed; a
haggard mask-one good nights
sleep is all L ask, from evening
till the sun is high, then take
me out and let me diet These
guys they never let me sleep,
and yet l daren't make a peep,
the odds, you see, are ten TO one
Pm saving 10 buy a gun-Pm
doubtful whether t'would be best
TO shoot myself or all the rest!
and yet I never sulk or NOPE;
have one sweet sustaining
hope When 1 get home-I rise
10 speak; I'll stay in bed a
solid week; no more I'll lead
this merry dance, no more will
return to France; these SKY
lark sessions make me sick;
some loony, homesick Kansas |
hick, who raises HI to drown
his woes; I'd like TO punch them
in the nose. Each restless night
1 get the blues, when kept
awake by FOSTERING stews; I'm
fighting now a losing match,
they'll have me in the BOBBY
match.
Against the bunch I am but
one; I'm saving up to buy a
gun: I'm doubtful whether
t'would be best to shoot myself
or all the rest"

FRUGAL TO THE END.

Not long ago a certain publication
had an idea. It's editor made up a

Washington, Jan. "a new inter
national code to protect the liberty
Of neutrals" is being worked out by
leading North and South American
EXPERTS on the basis Of lessons drawn
from the present war.
President Wilson and Secretary

Ways and means of formulating in
terms the new principles will be dis
cussed at meeting Of international

German submarine warfare and
British commercial interferences are
said to be the main reasons behind
the move.
The new code" viii endeavor to
make it impossible for the world ever

oET-RICH-oUIcK GANG CAUGHT
HERE-HAD NICE SCHEME

It's easy to get rich quick. Abra-
ham RohrTch, Isadore Siegel and
Morris MoskoWitZ accumulated
thousands of dollars in series of
operations extending from New York
to Gary, Ind. They came to grief
here yesterday when they were
traced to this city and arrested in a
South Side hotel.
Their scheme consisted of estab-
fishing merchandise store, starting
a small checking account at local
bank and pyramid" it to pay for
their stock. Before the bad checks
came back they would close over
night, ship their stock to confeder-
ates in New York to sell and disap-
pear.
Evidence captured with the swim
dlers will lead to- the arrest of the
other members of the gang, detec-
tives say.
