THE CARNIVAL OF MONTHS OCT, 29-30 Ladies of the Presbyterian Church Will Furnish Entertainment and Serve Supper. As announced last week the ladies of the Presbyterian church are mak- ing elaborate preparations for | “Carnival of Months,” at Village hall on October 29 and 30. The hall will be open to the public at 3 o'clock on the afternoon of the 29th. Thursday evening the 29th a piano recital will be given by Miss Cecelia Berry of Chicago musical college, for which an admission fee of 15 cents will be charged. Of Miss Berry the Indianopolis News says: “Cecelia Ray Berry, the Indiana pianist who concertizes in the west this season, gives a unique and inspirational entertainment. It may be styled ‘Stories of Great Musicians Ilustra- ted.’ Her program represents a varied range of selections and she prefaces each number with interesting nar- rative and poetic reference in such a way that the musically uninitiated can understand and appreciate as well as the diletante. Critics have praised her work in unbounded terms as being educational, uplifting and highly en- joyable. Possessed of fine stage pre- sence and eminent ability she will doubtless meet with great success on present recital tour.” Fridy evening the 30th a New England supper will be served, beginning at 5:30, for which 25 cents will be charged, As aclosing feature the result of the “penny contest” will be an- nounced. ‘The months will be represented as follows: January. .......:+:..New Years Open House Mrs. H.

Growinng Lettuce While You Wait. “Yes,” said a florist, “I can work miracles in my business. For instance, I can grow you lettuce while you wait—sweet, crisp lettuce that you may eat for your dinner with the broiled spring chicken. “I do it in this way. I take a hand- ful of lettuce seeds that have been soaked overnight in alcohol, and I plant them in a box containing three inches of loam and quicklime. 1 water this soil, and in ten minutes the seeds burst. “They burst, and ia twenty minutes two tiny leaves push through the earth. The leaves grow and multiply. In an hour they are as big as half- dollars. Then you may pluck and eat them. They are delicious—a fairy salad. “Sometimes, when I give a dinner party, I have one of these little pre- pared lettuce beds in the center of the table. The guests see the lettuce grow, and when the times comes for the salad course, there is their salad blooming before them, all ready for them to pluck.” —Ex.

He doesnt like it as much as he did,” said Mrs. Popley. “No,” replied Popley, “and it’s all en account of your imprudence.” “My imprudence?” “Yes; he overheard you saying it was good for him.” B. F.

You know the doctor stopped at her house to-day, too.” “You don’t say?

Several thousand are owne® by men who mortgaged their houses to raise the money for purchase of autos, and the capital burned with the gasoline has made it just so much harder for men who had to secure loans for mercan- tile purposes.
