The Argus Annawan Correspondence
Mrs. H Z. knarr, wife OF Professor
Knarr, high school superintendent has
just received word that her sisters
house at Lowell, Ind, was completely
destroyed by fire. 1t occurred in the
middle of the night and the family were
barely able to escape with their lives
All of their clothing was consumed, as
well as the house furnishings.
YESTERDAY a miracle happened. When
miracles happen the world-or that portion of
it which fiutters around this Shaft of Scintil-
lation-ought to be told of it The miracle
is this: When went to the composing room
to lay the colyum blocks in place found
that had written exactly enough-nOt a
lead" was inserted a slug" taken out.
YOU may not regard this miracle but any
other colyumfst will assure you that it was.

In the Christmas number of the Pictorial
Review my panied glance encountered this:
The crib should be high enough so that the
child cannot climb over the sides and have a
good spring mattress"
Is it that young children have a definite
affinity for spring mattresses? If So why leave
them about the room to tempt the little ones?
Echo answers why.
What is the objection to providing the crib
with good spring mattress? Perhaps then
the childs craving would be satisfied Some
parents are lheAcusaDiy brutal, certainement!

NOTING in the obituary column the name
Edwin Button, we were on the W. k verge
of whiting Z wheeze thereon On sec

asserted that death is the Joke" we see no
reason why we shouldn't go right ahead and
whittle. Had printed the clipping we
should have captioned it, Button, Button
