RUBBER SOCIAL WAS
DELIGHTFUL SUCCESS

The Ladies' Aid of the First Pres
byterian church gave it's second an
nual rubber social in the church par
lOrs last night. A plentiful supply
of rubber was handed in and will
doubtless realize a goodly sum when
turned into cash. About 80 at
tended the affair which was voted
the most delightful of its kind ever
held in connection with the church.
The program was a good one and
throughout the various mum bers the
motif was rubber. Some clever
Mother Goose rhymes. a spelling
bee and various other stunts pecu-
liar to a rubber social, formed the
major part of the program. Mrs.
Henry J. Graham, president of the
Aid society; Mrs. w. S. Dawley. Mrs.
Ralph Jernegan. Mrs. yesterday.
Mrs. Andrew Watson and Miss Tup-
per took an active interest in the
arrangements. Refreshments were
served.

FARM HORSES FIGURE
IN EXCITING RUNAWAY

a team of horses hitched to a hay
rigging and belonging TO a farmer
named Mcfarland, living on the
DOOlittle farm, two and a half miles
southeast Of the city. ran away at
about 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon
on Church St, between Lincoln way
and Front St. but fortunately the
horses fell as they were making the
turn west on Front st. from Church.
The team was in charge Of two Of
the Mcfarland boys, who had been
20 the Dodge factory 10 get a load of
slab wood The boys intended to
hitch the horses to the rail on the
north side Of Church St, below Lin
coin way, and as the animals started
down the hill. which is very steep
at that point, the wagon ran against
them, which frightened one of the
horses, a five year old colt, which
started plunging, exciting its mate.
and both dashed down the hill at a
made rate. The older boy. a lad Of
about Is. held onto the reins until
the horses fell when the wagon
struck the curb in making the turn
at Front st. The inside horse fell
first. knocking the legs out from
under the other horse, and both be-
came badly tangled in the harness.
City Fireman William RavencrOft
was nearby at the time and assisted
in extricating the horses and getting
the harness repaired sufficiently for
the boys TO continue their way home.

MEMORIAL DAY
PLANS RETARDED
Finance and Lodge Commit
tees Advised to Show
Burst of Speed.

a committee Of members of the
local post of the G. A. r.. consisting
of Z. A. Jernegan. r. +. Perkins
and NJ. NJ. Fisher, met Thursday
morning with Supt. D. w Horton Of
the public schools for the purpose
of outlining the part of the Me-
mortal day program the schools will
take. Tentative plans were discuss
ed to have the students of the diff
ferent schools organize and appear
in the line of march in separate di-
visions. all of which will be formed
east and west of Main St on Fourth
St, from which point they will move
with the procession to the three
cemeteries for the veterans SER
vices and decoration Of the graves.
A large chorus of school children
will be formed to sing at the exer-
cises to be held in the afternoon at
the speakers stand TO be erected for
the occasion in Battell park.
The committee in charge Of the
affair is handicapped in proceeding
with their plans, owing to the ap-
parent inactivity of the finance COM
mittee appointed TO secure the nee
essary funds with which to promote
the celebration. The committees of
the various fraternal and civic or
CARNATIONS Of the city have shown a
lamentable lack of interest by not
attending the meetings of the ex-
ecutive committee or reporting any
possible progress that may have
been made.
Chairman Jernegan advises that
all organizations expedite their
work of preparations for their par
ticipation in the event, as less than
week remains for the completion
of the plans.

OUTSIDE PROTECTION
MAY BE NECESSARY

Residents of the city are highly
incensed over the nightly street car
riots that are happening at the east
end of Lincoln highway. There is
little doubt in their minds that the
murderous assault on the motorman
Wednesday was committed by par
ties from elsewhere than Misha-
waka. Owing to the small police
force available in the city il IS
thought the railway company Will
have TO make arrangements with
the South Bend force TO patrol the
east end district in order 10 prevent
such occurrences as disgraced the
city Wednesday night.
