OF Langdon's sanitary meat market,
was called by a telegram which
reached here Saturday morning to
Huntingdon, Ind by news of the
death of his brother, Mr.. Nicholas

by the family came quite suddenly.

thought to be on transport with u.
S. troops enroute to France.

Captain Ross
Writes Enroute
Newsy Letter From Washing
Z ton, D. c., OF, Train .
New York Camp

Space is given to the following let
ter from Captain Frank F. Ross,
written to friends at his home town
Calvin, while on the train enroute
from Camp Greene, N. c., to the
new training camp of Company b. at
Long Island, N. Y. The letter fol-
lows:
Friend Arnold:-W are on the
train near Washington, D. G. We
are not permitted to state our des-
tination, but you will probably hear
something regarding the 'somewher
before you receive this. AS am
writing we are between the cities Of
Manassas, Va, and Washington,
D. c., crossing the bit of country
made famous in United States his
tory by the Battle of Bull Run. Since
we broke camp at Charlotte, North
Carolina, we have passed by on the
train the homes of four Of the for.
mer presidents Of this country.
/. We are all here except Pinto"
and Still and Theilbar, from the
eastern part of the county, who were
sick in the hospital at the time we
left. However, their condition was
not serious in the least and expect
that they will join Us in few days.
To tell the truth we were rather glad
to leave Camp Greene as the weather
had been disagreeably damp and chill
ly all the time of our stay there and
quite number Of the boys had colds.
For my own part there was several
days that, / was SO hoarse that l could
hardly talk so that any one could un-
derstand what was saying. We got
alon g finely there, liked the camp
and the sociable nature of the south
ern people who made up the commu.
nifty outside of our camp.
We had rifles issued to US few
days ago and will now be able to
have regular drills in the manual Of
arms from now on. Our equipment
as battalion Of the trench mortar
battery is to include rifles as well as
mortar guns. This is something that
the boys were bothering somewhat
about until the order for guns in our
equipment came. On the trip we
are making had the experience of
riding over one division on the engine,
and must say that ] have not seen
any country that looks good to a wes-
terner since we left Ohio until the
last few hours.
Best regards from myself and the
boys to at home and expecting to
let you hear from some of us as soon
as we get settled in our new guar.
ters,
Yours Respectfully,
Captain Frank i. Ross.

Mary Pickford in 'sThe Pride of tn,
CIan.'

Mary Pickford in 'SThe Pride of the
Clam"
The Massachusetts coast at Mar
bleheed was selected for the staging
of exterior scenes of "The Pride of
the. Clan," the new Scotch picture in
which Mary PicEford is to be pre-
scented by Aircraft, at the Isis the
atre on Wednesday and Thursday.
On the rocky Marblehead shores
Mary Pickford and the members of
her company lived for several
months making the new picture I'M
der the direction of Maurice Tour
neur, the famous French producer
whose picture work in this country
ranks as the most artistic of the
screen. In one of the incidents OF
the story Mary Pickford appears on
half sunken fishing boat and in
this scene she was forced to enact
bits of realism that proved distinct
ly real and which the camera has
faithfully recorded. The craft, o
very rickety and water soaked vet
eran, sprung a leak just as the i'm
portant part of the scene was being
filmed. 1t was only after consider
able difficulty that Director Tour
neur rescued the famous star from
the dashing waves.
Several other scenes about the old
hulk were staged later during the
chilly mornings of November ano
resulted in Miss Pickford getting
several severe wettings. 1t will never
be shown in the picture but there
was in hiding behind one of the higf
rock cliffs a small electric launch
in which was Miss Picl1ford's maiC
and several, changes of dry clothing
for many changes were needed. Per
haps this ought not to be told anC
may break into the illusion but thu
truth will come out even in a news
paper story about motion pictur'
production.

POST DANCES ARE

Blue Ribbon Feature, which heads

with the piquant English star, Peggy
Hyland and Evart Overton, Mr. Kent
plays a remarkably wonderful role
He is east as structural engineer
who falls from fame through "The

not triumph. Sinking to the depths
of encouragement and despair, he is
found and taken home by the present
structural expert and gradually he
overcomes the fearsome habit-whis-
key. His fight is cleverly portrayed
as he is shown weak and despairing
and then slowly-surely stronger in
his fight.

bears his wife and beautiful daugh-
ter and which has led him to leave
their life-apparently dead--is reg

BELLEvILLE SCHOOL NOTES

The school session of our public
schools of today is divided into two
distinct terms. The first begins in
September, the second on the 1st of
February.
The advantage of this is obvious.
If child fails of success in her school
work from whatsoever reason the re-
peat lasts only a half instead of a
whole year. Understanding this, pa
rents should take advantage of the
midsession admission period to enter
their children in as large numbers
as in the beginning of the session.
The School Board has made liberal
time allowances so as to prevent any
child losing any school time within
the ages as provided for under the
school laws. While the kindergarten
ages are from four to six years, any
child reaching his sixth birthday be-
fore the end of the school quarter
this term April 4-is considered to
be four years at the time of class or
ganization, February l, 1917.
The same allowance is made for ad-
mission in the First B Grade-a
child is considered six February /,
1917, If his sixth. birthday is before
the end of the second quarter, April 4.
The Board of Health requires that
vaccination shall be had of all pupils
OF schools. While the family physi-
clans usually attend to this, free vac
cination may be had any Monday,

Sunday, January 81. the pastor,
Rev. c. c. Weir, preached to a large
congregation both at the morning
and at the evening services. At the
morning hour his subject was III
Chronicles 1918: las the Lord
liveth, even what my God saith, that
will | speak, The speaker drew
from this lesson the necessity and
value of courage in the Christian
life.
At the evening hour the subject
was Isaiah 55:2: Wherefore do We
spend money for that which is not
bread and your labour for that which
satisfies not?" The matter of making
a great investment in life for God
and the right was emphasized as
giving the most returns to those who
wished to make a life investment
worth while.
The Epworth League devotional
service Sunday evening was led by
Miss Thelma Cayard, assisted by va

BOYS STEAL BALLS.

Officer E. NJ. Jenkins made an i'm
portant arrest few days ago when
three juveniles who had stolen pool
balls from the H. n. G. c. Club
rooms, were brought to court.
The theft took place last Tuesday
night and one of the boys after his
confession, took the policeman to a
store on S. Rampant street, where
the balls, that were worth about
twelve dollars, were pawned for one
dollar. The three young boys
whose names are withheld on &C
count of their family connections,
will be charged before the Juvenile
Court in a few days and it is posi-
BILE that they may be sent to some
House of Correction. The police
state that these same boys have
troubled them on several occasions.
