A GOOD TINE
TO GIVE MONEY
Muncie, Ind, Brothers Part With
Millions While
Living.

/ Muncie. Ind, March S.lf You have
money to give away there is no time
| like the present, is the philosophy Of
| Frank G.. Ball. His three brothers hold
| the same thought and 9Th brother
now dead, held that theory during his
life time. The four living brothers and
! the estate of the other brother have
| just given $l,000,0o0 for educational
and welfare work. They operate an i'm
mense fruit jar manufacturing plant
here.
| 1--WE are giving this sl,00o,00O be-
cause we believe it better to do such
| things while we are living than allow
others to do ii for MS after we are
dead, explained Frank G. Ball, who il
president OF the manufacturing plant.
"Life at best is short and uncertain
and the time for men who have II to
do good with their money is when they
can personally direct the use Of it. No
body has ever found way of taking
his money with him to wherever he
goes after he dies. We are glad to make
these gifts to these Institutions and for
their purposes, not because we seek APP
probation but because we believe 1t to
be good thing to do and because of
the satisfaction we receive in knowing
that we may be responsible to some
slight extent in aiding humanity
The gifts were made in the names of
Frank c. Ball, Edmund b. Ball, George
A. Ball, DIR. Lucius t. Ball and the es
tate of William G. Ball, and are to be
distributed as follows;
For the eastern division Indiana
State Normal school, located in Muncie.

To Delaware CountA Tuberculosis as
ISOLATION for endowment, $4,000
For building fund Of Masonic temple,
$4,000.
For hospital extension work in Nun
Gle, 100000.
The remainder, amounting to $4,000,
is to be disposed of in ways not yet
ready for announcement.
The gifts just announced are in addi-
tion to numerous other donations made
to local institutions during the last
several years. II is estimated that
their aggregate gifts viii total as much
as those just announced.

Despite the amnesty proclamation OF

MEXICAN SILVER MINES.

Mined in 1921.

Mined in 1921.
Mexico City produced 1876 per cen;
OF the total world production of silver
in 1927 and the United States in the
same period produced only 81 per cent
of the world total of l0l 100000
ounces, says the American Chamber OF
Commerce Of Mexico.
The year 1921 was classed as bad
year in silver mining, due 10 the low
market price of the metal but despite
this condition more than 62,000,O00
ounces were taken from Mexican
mines.
Due to the revival Of mining activity
in Mexico during the closing months Of
1921 and the reorening of mines in all
parts of the country. the Chamber ex-
poets that the Mexican production of
1922 will greatly exceed that of last
year.

German children a real Christ
mas. Clothing and toys are be-
ing collected, soup kitchens sup
ported largely by officers have
been established, and other mea-
sures taken for the relief of Ger

1t is not surprising that sol
diers who carry mahine guns and
poison gas, should be also bear
ers of peace and good will. The
fighting man is the last to talk
war, the first to fight. and the
most ready to forget and forgive.
In battle he meets resistance and
pvercomes 1t. In victory, UNI
armed, hungry. helpless men,
women and children fall back as
he approaches. Even were he so
inclined he could not punish
them all he must either help
them to help themselves or let
them alone. The soldier by ma
ture is not a spectator; he can
not stand by and look on, whcth-
or the call be to arms, or to re-
lieve distress.
In the role Of Santa CLlus the
soldier serves his country well.
