LAYMEN TO PRESIDE The program built up by the execu tives of the National Reform Assocra- tion for the Winona Lake Conference on World Problems to be held July 1-8, has been so developed that fully one hundred speakers of national prominence will have part in the discussions.

There will be other special days, such as Education Day on July 3rd, and Governor's Day on July 5th.

The Conference will be free; from ec-clsiasticism and it wilt not discuss church creeds. It is planned to discuss the great world problems of the day and the principles of Christianity as they are related to industrial, civic and political questions.

Among those who will direct the discussions, in which the audience will be invited to take part. are W. Albert Harbison of Pittsburg, R. J. Cathcart of Kansas City, Mo.

F. Sheely will likewise be shifted to the state capital. While there had been rumors about town the past week, as intermittently for years past, of the likelihood of this change, our people were not prepared to receive the news the significance of which gave a decided shock.

The immediate loss to the town in a business and institutional way is readily apparent but these considerations pale into secondary importance when wc contemplate tbe pending certainty that a dozen or more excellent homes that have been woven into the warp and 'woof of our everyday, social and community life are to be torn from us. Also, that a goodly additional number of our best young people are likely to be drawn into the exodus. It will be recalled that thirty or more public spirited citizens of Ar gos banded themselves together to provide modern homes for a number or the employes of this institution a few years ago when a scarcity of good houses was declared to be an impelling reason why the association woul I have to leave Argos. The houses were promptly provided under most adverse economic conditions. Bu: now that the exodus is on ere the expiration of the sales contract these citizens will have tour extra good resi dence properties on their hands.

The hardware association, however, makes the citizens an offer of settlement that looks quite fair and those who cooperated In the building movement in the tope and expectation cf doing something for the permanent good ot Argos do not In the end expect to sus tain financial loss. Moreover, the National Retail Hardware Association proposes to present and donate to the Town of Argos the fine headquarters property it will vacate on ithe corner of Walnut and Sugar streets, this generous gift to be regarded as a permanent memorial to our late distinguished fellow-townsman and founder of the Requesting institution, Melvin Lake Corey, and as a expression of the regard and appreciation the association holds for the town that was so dear to the heart of Mr. Corey and that has fostered the association from its struggling infancy to Its present mag nitude and opulence. This gracious and most fitting tender on the part of the association will be deeply appreciated by the entire community. The board of governors of the N.

R. H. A. assumed the responsibility tor the -momentous decision to move that means so much to Argos. It was ex plained by the new president that the marvellous growth and expansion of the association made the more imper ative.

It simply had to be done to en able that great institution to develop the enlarging fields. that are opening before it and to get. into closer touch wtith the Chrobbing pulse of the nation, as such and in a business way. Noth Ing the good people of Argos could have done or proffered to do would have had the slightest weight against the drastic decision. Now that the worst Is known, what will be the effect upon the welfare of Argos? No thoughtful person regards the outlook with indifference or es says to discount the significance of the impending change.

The first shock that to many seemed to spell calamity is being followed by a in which the old Argos Spirit sits up and begins to take nourishment! No sen sible person seeks the balm consolation in good-riddance-to-bad-rubbish twaddle nor yet is he willing to ack nowledge that the- blow, while stag gering and temporarily stupefying, Is a fatal one. Already the Argos Spirit is looking about for something to take" the place of the loss we. mus: sustain and the hope is even Indulged that something better will be" drawn our way by forces that Inevitably so Impel. Grass will not Jong grow in the streets of the best nd prettiest little town in the state will cobwebs long seal the portals of her destiny. BIRTHDAY SURPRISE Henry rouse was surprised Friday evening, it being his sixty-fourth birthday.

The children drove In about 8:00 o'clock and enjoyed themselves eating, smoking and visiting. Refreshments were served consisting of strawberries, 'ice-cream, cake and cigars. All departed at a late hour wishing Mr. Krouse many more happy birthdays. v.
