Writes from Indiana

EDITOR SIFrINGs-NEws.

Editor SIFTINGS-NE NS.
Dear Sir am enclosing check
to be applied on my subscription,
and am thinking of a quotation
which runs something like this;
Yesterday is dead: bury it. To-
morrow never comes; don't worry
Today is here; use it," hence !
have come TO the conclusion that
now is the accepted time for me
to write a few lines for your valu-
BILE paper. ..-
will first speak of an incident
which occurred here recently,
which to me was a very pleasant
experience. and | relate il feeling
sure that it will be quite as inter-
esting to the pioneers aud older
residents of Idaho Springs.
Upon. opening the South Bend
Daily Tribune Of March 2, 1918,
/ beheld the face of Rev. John n.
Mills of Washington, d. c., for
merly pastor of the Presbyterian
church of Idaho Springs. and the
man before whom / stood in that
same little church on October 10,
1856, and solemnly pronounced
those sacred words. II will"
The following week l had the
pleasure of listening to very in
teresting illustrated lecture by Mr..
Mills, on the subject of South
through which country
he and his charming wife had
travelled, taking photographs and
having them made into lantern
slides by good artists; also another
lecture on the subject of "Mis-
sions."
So impressed was Mr.. Mills with
the need, value and opportunity
Of missions that he travelled over
this country entirely at his own
expense presenting the cause to
college students and visiting all of
the greater educational institutions
in this work.
/ might add that Mr.. Mills was
one of the early graduates of the
South Bend High School, in which
school he was donor of the John
Nelson Mills medal for excellence
in mathematics; also he was glad
to learn that some members of his
Idaho Springs flock are, as they
term it in modern language, still
on deck" and it has just occurred
to me that a postal shower from
his old friends to him to The On
tario," Washington, D. c., would
be courteous act.
| am mailing you copy of the
paper which contains Mr.. Mills
picture, which you might put in
some conspicuous place where it
can be seen by all of his old friends.
l might say that be looks very
natural, only that. like most of us,
his hair is little more silvery than
when we all loved him in the dear
old by-gone days.
May l say that if Chas. Crosson,
Jr., comes up in as straight and
narrow way as "Pa Crosson" was
raised during the administration
of Wilt and Albright in the Grass
Valley school, he will surely come
out as did all those pupils-Al-
bright after being Wilted.
l could perhaps write a volume
relative to this great manufacturing
and world-famed city, South Bend.
but as | do not wish to take up too
much of your valuable space, 1
will only say that as for myself,
since left Idaho Springs in June,

Look Out for the Spies.

The semi-ofiiclal announcement has
been made that the Germans and German
Americans in Mexico, in an effort to
counter the disasters of the defeat of last
week on the battle front, arc endeavoring
to renew their propaganda, in the hope OF
creating break with Mexico. 1t is under
stood that the most capable trouble
breeders Of the Gcrman-Amcrlcan clan
have been drafted into the task OF causing
some overt act on the border that would
lead to war, or 70 condition necessitat-
ing the United States to keep a strong
force along the Rio Grande In this way
the German-Amcricans feel they can
render great service TO the halseT, even
though they betray their country TO do so
It is understood, however, that Wash
ington IS fully apprised Of the plans OF
these pro-Gcrmans ard has taken such
steps as will nullify their plotting, which Is
likely to be very subtle. Fair means foul
are all the same to the FrCsslan gang In
fact. they still prefer the foul
And Just al this time il Is we'll to give

EXPORTING FRIGHTFULNESS.

II must be admitted that the navy has
not been very successful thus far IN meet
ing the German submarine raids along the
Atlantic coast, whatever measures IT
may have adopted But however annoy
ing these submarine attacks may be,
the navy has only one job Of first import
ance, which is to guard the transportation
OF troops and supplies to France.
All else is secondary, and We can think
Of no worse blundcr than TO neglect that
task TO chase vagrant C-boats ong the
coast That is the object Of the Ger
man raids. and as long as the navy refuses
to be diverted, from its main occupation
the raids are failure, no matter how many
small craft may be sunk or how much
poison gas may be set afioat on the face
OF the waters
Judging by some of the German news
papers, the enemy sets much store by It's
submarine operations along the American
coast. but to the credit Of the American
people, they have not been the least ex-
cited by these attacks and are proceeding
with the serious work Of war with more
energy than ever They know that this
business Is not going to be settled by inter
mittent expectations of German fright

HUNIOR IN HEAT.

There seems to be a general disposition
to accept the prevailing heat with philo-
sophical resignation. This is a fortunate
thing for the weather man, the ice man
and the general sufferer. There is even a
tendency TO treat the ambitious mercury
in-thc tube with derision and mocl1ery.
Possibly We may accept this calerio-
defying attitude as proof of the tact that
our recollection Of the discomforts of the
fighting men abroad outweighs all selfish
interest in mildcr Affections. Anyway,
the humorous attitude of the public is
atteSted by numerous stories based upon
the swcltcring spell A New England
editor tells OF a noted wooden nutmegger
who has made a speciality of wearing.

Punishment for Fences"

Judge Uaight of Newark, n. j., this week
imposed upon Henry Bcrnsweig-
suggestive this name is at this time and in
this connection-a fine of SIS, 600, with ten
wears in prison, following convection on a
charge of acting as a 'fence" for thieves
who looted freight cars on railroads. A
'fence," it may be explained for the in
formation of the uninformed, is one who
buys stolen goods without question, and
with full knowledge that they were stolen
in fact, an agent of those who do the
stealing
II is full time the severe penalties Of the
law were visited upon such criminals.
If it were not for such agencies as fence" "
there would not be so much stealing. The
average thief steals for profit. When he
steals watch, or a ring, or any other
article possessing intrinsic value, his first
desire is TO convert IL into money. The
article of itself is of no use TO him; the
money he can spend.
But with the aid of fences of various
grades, the thiet has an incentive lie
may steal anything he finds in his way
from an iron kettle to all the varied con-
tents of a loaded freight car, and quickly
turn il into money-at a ridiculously
small sum, of course, but that is nothing TO
the thief, as his loot costs him nothing
but his time and labor The fence is
his standby, and without this, to him,
useful agency, his occupation would be
gone
1t is hoped the severe sentence imposed
upon this fence" in Newark, \. j., will
be warning TO Others. With more warn
ings of this kind, promiscuous thievery
might rapidly decrease, by reason of
proving without profit, as well as attended
bv danger
