WANTED TO GET REWARD
FOR FINDING BODY

Eli Harris of St. Joseph. Mich,
who is with the party OF clam dig
gers camped at River Park claims he
is the man who found the body of
Gladys Slater, at the foot of Seventh
St. Tuesday, and came into town TO
collect the reward that he said he
had heard was offered for the recOv-
cry of the body.
Eli first approached Patrolman
Weaver for information as TO who
should be seen about the matter. but
the officer discouraged his question
er in looking any further, assuring
him that no reward had been offered.
Eli didn't expect the Slater family ~
pay the reward. but he thought the
city of Mishawaka ought to give him
something for his trouble, so he
started for the city hall TO make his
demand for what he thought was
due him. Whether he arrived there
or not has not been learned

HOURS OF LABOR.

Hard Work With No Time Limitations
the Road to Success.
1t seems to be established on purely
physiological grounds that eight hours
of hard work each day is about all the
average persons system will stand and
maintain it's normal efficiency. This
conclusion has been reached after ex-
haustive and protracted scientific in
vestigation without any regard what
soever for legislative aspects and based
upon the measurements of nervous and
muscular exhaustion produced by
work.
This eight hour limitation rule, ii
should be remembered. applies to the
average person. But apparently no
person has ever risen above mediOcrity
whose physical condition restricted
him to such a limited period of work
as one hour out of every three. 1T is
a noteworthy fact" says a writer in
Science, that with the worlds lead
ers in industry. in finance. in profess
sional life. the duration of the daily
task is wholly secondary to its accom-
plishment. They are limited by no
eight hour, ten hour or twelve hour
considerations. This indicates why
such men become leaders. Laborers
may learn a valuable lesson from this
fact.
"The greedy employer who saps the
energies Of those who are the medium
by which he gains his wealth is to be
condemned no more than is the slack
err whose only guiding principles are a
minimum of effort and a maximum
wage. Moreover, it is trite to say that
the obligation rests upon the laborer
that rests upon all men, so to use his
free hours as to benefit himself. his
family and society"
1t is the belief of most physicians
that few persons are ever injured by
hard work alone. either mental or phys

asserted that they had sent their ord
ers to Mr.. Knutson enclosing check
for payment, but the books had not
arrived. 1t was Mr.. Knutson's request
that this routine be followed, they
stated. After waiting what they be-
lieved to be a reasonable length of
time they informed him of the delay,
but their complaints failed to get the
desired results regarding the ship
ments. In some cases year had
elapsed. Correspondence with the
book company brought the assertion
that the orders had not been placed
in the latter's hands and an
offer to furnish the names of other
school officers who had had similar
trouble in securing their orders, some
of which it is since claimed were not
forwarded by Mr.. Knutson until after
the complaints had been made at the
board meeting.
Mr.. Knutson, when called on for an
explanation, stated that the orders hadl
been placed and that the delay was
the fault of the book company; that
the books would be forthcoming in
most cases when needed; that he was
not in any way to blame. He admit
ted that he had kept no copies of his.
correspondence with the company and
had no cancelled checks or stubs to-
protect his personal interest in the
the transactions.
The board ordered County Attorney
Wood to conduct an investigation
which will have the result of laying
the entire matter before the governor,
in whose hands lies the power to ord
er removal from office.

ROCK OF GIBRALTAR.
The "key of the Mediterranean" Has
Had Stormy History.

The "key of the Mediterranean" Has
Had Stormy History.
England has been in possession of the
rocky promontory Of Gibraltar since
1904. From that time to this it has
been crown colony under the admin
istration of a governor. By reason Of
its important strategical position it is
called the 'key of the Mediterranean"
Gibraltar has had a stormy history.
In I'll the rock was taken by the Arab
chief Tarik, who called it Jebel-al-Tar-
TX (Hill Of Tarik) and built fortress
on the promontory. Part Of these ruins
is still eXtant. In 1909 it was taken
by the Castilians, only to be recaptured
by the Moors in 1888. 1t was held by
them until 1862 Following the TAX
ing and sacking Of Gibraltar in 1910
by Barbarossa, extensive military
works We're built there by order of
Charles V.
In 1904 the promonotory was cap
tured by a combined force under Sir
George Rookie and the Prince of Hesse-
Darmstadt, fighting for the Archduke
Charles Of Austria. The moment it fell
into their hands the British admiral
threw off the alliance with the Aus
TRANS and took complete possession Of
the works.
British possession since that time has
been unbroken, although it was under
a Spanish siege for nearly three years
and eight months, beginning in 1779.
Twice the garrison was on the point
Of falling because Of the starvation Of
its defenders.

START SUFFRAGE MOVEMENT
DIR. Effie McCullom Jones Speaks to
Fair Audience Saturday Evening
on Timely Topic.

A good sized audience gathered 1T
the Junior high school auditorium last
Saturday night to listen to DR.. Effie
McCullom Jones discuss the question
of Woman Suffrage.
Mrs. w. o. P. Hilsdale presided
over the meeting. She opened the
meeting by naively stating that while
she was not suffragette herself, she
was "the mother Of one," so she was
at least "step mother" to the move
ment and then she introduced Mayor
DuBeau, who, in a graceful little
speech, welcomed the distinguished
visitor to Sank Centre.
DIR. ]. A. Dubois was next introduc-
ed and made characteristic Dubois
speech. The Doctor is nothing if
he is not intense and he never was in
better form or voice, and his brief re-
marks were received with favo by the
audience. At the close Of his address
in few well chosen words, he intro
duced the speaker of the evening.
Without any predatory remarks, DR..
Jones plunged headlong into her sub
ject. She is a perfect master, or rath-
er mistress of the theme she discusses
and she was eloquent, sarcastic, hum
erous, and pathetic in turn. She has
a resonant voice, perfectly at home on
the platform and she held the closest
attention of her audience for over an
hour. The major portion of her au-
dience seemed ODE in sympathy with
her views and were liberal with ap-
plause.
The Hon. Frank M. Eddy was called
on at the conclusion of DR.. Jones' ad-
dress and spoke briefly and appropri-
ately in his inimitable manner.
1t was the first suffrage meeting
ever held in Sank Centre and consid-
ering it was Saturday night, the at
tendance was good.
The girls chorus from the. Home
School rendered several selections
most excellently, in fact this chorus is
remarkably fine one, containing sew
eral voices of remarkable power, and
reflects credit on it's instructor.
