COUNTIES PLAN 4
FAR AHEAD FOR !
CENTURY DATES
EIkhart and St. Joseph
First in Northern
Group.

Several Indiana counties have al
ready held centennial celebrations
and many others are planning as far
as three years ahead. Tippecanoe
held her celebration last year and
Warren County just few weeks
ago. Elkhart County, the date Of
whose organization falls in 1880, is
already planning it's celebration, and
since the county is fortunate in hav-
ing an active historical society, the
celebration doubtless will be con-
Quoted on large scale.
Elkhart County will be one of the
first Of the tier of counties on the
northern boundary to attain the age
OF hundred years. 1t and st.
Joseph County were created at the
same time. LaPorte, Lagrange and
Steuben counties we're organized in
1882; Porter in 1886, and Lake Coun-
ty in 1887. Elkhart County derived
its name from the Elkhart River,
flowing across the county from
southeast to northwest, the name
said to be taken from the shape Of
an island at the mouth of the river
which, to the Indians fancy, re-
sembled the heart of an elk.
Known for Beauty
Its prairies in early days, we're
said to be very beautiful, and it is
recorded that in 1915 when Col.
John Jackson, under the command
of Anthony Wayne, aided in the de-
struction of the Indian villages, he
was so captivated with the beauty
of Elkhart prairie that he selected a
location for his future home, and
fifteen years afterward went to live
upon it as one of the first settlers.
An early historian has recorded the
fact that the first settlers found
goodly land; the earth teemed
with fairness"
The sponsors of the centennial
celebration will find much of histori-
cal interest and much that is pic
turesque in the early annals of Elk
hart County, for use in pageant.
should the celebration take that
form. LaSalle at one time passed
through this territory; its earliest
settlers we're French traders; its
Indian inhabitants we're of the Pot
tawotamie tribe. The first emigrant
wagons bringing permanent settlers
to the fertile prairie land came from
New York, Pennsylvania and Ohio.
Within the county's limits was an
Indian mission founded by Isaac
Mccoy. It's citizens took part in the
Indian wars, the Mexican War, the
Civil and the World War. Within
the limits of the county were many
old-time craftsmen.
A resolution passed at the fall
meeting of the Elkhart County His
torical Society, requested the presi-
dent, H. S. K. Bartholomew, to pre-
pare a volume entitled Stories and
Sketches of Elkhart County" from
materials he has long been engaged
in collecting This probably will be
completed by the beginning OF the
year 1880. This society is also con-
sidering a proposal for permanent
home for the society, and establish
mert of a historical museum.

CLEW TO plane
BRANDED joke
Note in Bottle Purports to
Be From Sky Princess.
By United Press

By United Press
LONDON, Sept. 12.-Police at r.
vine, Scotland, believed today that
practical jokers had placed bottle
on the sl.cre there containing a
message purporting to have come
from the missing monoplane, Saint
Raphael.
The message indicated that the
bottle had been dropped in mid
Atlantic. 1t said the motor was
troublesome, but the fiiers thought
they would be able to complete the
transatlantic fight.
In a telephone conversation with
the Irvine police the United Press
was informed that the message ap-
parently was a practical joke. Four
words were spelled incorrectly in
the massage and the writing ap-
peared to be that of a schoolboy.
Princess Anne Lowenstein-Wer-
theim, F. F. Mfnchin and Leslie
Hamilton were aboard the Saint
Raphael.

PASTOR SHOWS
WHAT The Great
COMMISSION is
The Rev. Line Defines the
Gospel of Jesus as One
of Friendship.

I'VE go back in thought to that
Master teacher, preacher. friend, as
he gave to his disciples and their
successors the great commission,
commanding them to go into all the
world and preach the gospel" the
Rev. Fred A. Line said Sunday at
the Central Universalist Church
while preaching on THE Great
Commission"
I'VE reflect upon the way" the
Rev. Line said, in which men and
women down through the years have
accepted this commission and have
proclaimed most effectively by word
of mouth and by their lives the
gospel of Jesus.
What is this gospel we are to
proclaim and how are we to pro-
claim it? I make bold to affirm
that it is the gospel of friendship.
The late Washington GLADDEN. says,
religion is friendship friendship
first with the great companion of
whom Jesus told us, who is always
nearer to us than we are to our
selves, and whose inspiration and
helps is the greatest fact of human
existence. To be in harmony with
His purpose, to be open to His
suggestions, to be in conscious
fellowship with Hin-this is re-
ligion on its Godward side. Then
turn MAYNARD, friendship sums it
all up. To be friends with every
body: to fill every human relation
with the spirit of friendship; is
there anything more than this that
the wisest and best Of men could
hope to do
IF the church would accept this
truth-religion is friendship and
build its own life upon it, and make
it central and organic in all its
teachings should we not see q great
revival of religion.
The Real Way
The most effective way of preach
ing the Christ gospel is by proving
friendly, by cultiavting the spirit of
friendship in the life of the world.
Emerson said that the only way to
have a friend is to be one.
1T doesn't make much difference
what UNCONVENTIONAL or political or
national label your friend wears. If
he be true friend you never think
of him as Methodist or Repub-
lican or Frenchman, but rather as
your friend, ready to stand by you
in the hom Of testing and the time
of trial, to minister to you in sick
ness and in sorrow, to fight with
you for the things most worth while.
Some of our choicest friendships
are garnered from among those who
do not think as we think along re-
ligious or political lines, but who
love and grieve and serve in much
the same way.
AS liberals we should be the great
apostles of friendship in the life of
the world. We should rejoice in the
increased ifriendliness manifested
toward us by those of other house
holds of faith" the Rev. Line said.

PENDANT in several suits as a re-
