The idea was suggest ed by the pictures in the rotunda of the 'Concessional Library at Washington. D. C. ( The Are of Oral Tradition In the frst group v Bedouin dis course to his tribe. This Is the age before wr'ting was known, and all events were passed down by word of month from father to son. The Age of Records on Stones The second was the ace of records on stone. Ancient Egypt Is the best representative of this time. : Age of Picture Writing on Skins The next step in man's progress in this line was the picture writing on skins. This was practiced by the Indians in Peru at a 'very early day. . .The Age of the Mannscript For most of our classical writings we are indebted to fhe mediaeval J ronvists. scholars ?nrt monks, who labored long and tirelessly copying bv hand the thoughts of those races . . who had., gone before. The Age of the Printing' Pre s It i a fa cry fro n the folk tale related, to his wondering tribe by the primeval savage, to the up-to-date citizen .of Marshall county who sits at evening by his fireside read- ing the Daily or Weekly REPUBLI CAN. The age of the printing press was ushered in by John Gutenberg about 1430. It is he chiefly who made it possible for us today to keep a finger on the pulse of the world and to know within twelve hours what has happened in Russia, i:i Brazil, in China or the islands of the sea.

Former Tippecanoe Boy. r Many in Tippecanoe township will remember C. E. Shoemaker, -who left there for the West years ago. Th? Republican, has received a fne circular about the Judith Basin in Montana and in it is the following about Mr. Shoemaker: The average farm in the Judith basin consists of a quarter-section of land, but there are a number of large farms, on which practically all of the work is done with machinery operated by steam or gasoline power. One of these " is the twenty-four-hundred-acre farm of C. E. Shoe maker and Company, near Moore. Two thousand acres of this tract are now in winter wheat, which will be harvested next August. C. E. Shoemaker and Company, a corporation capitalized at $50.000. whose resources are nearly three times their capital, and whose main office is located in . Lewistown, Montana, are engaged in' making and selling farm mortgage loans in the Judith basin. Th y do jiot deal in lands. ; C. E. Shoemaker and Company do a strictly conservative loan busi ness. While, land values in the basin have' risen to sixty-fn e and seventy dollars an acre, thev do not loan to exceed fifteen dollars per acre. Indeed thev will not loan as much as this unless the applicant 's land is very well improved, situated close to market, and entirely, oral- most entirely under cultivation. , The loans made by C. E. Shoe maker and Company range in amount from five hundred dollars to ' two thousand dollars, on a quarter-section but average about one thousand dollars each. They net the investor six per cent, and the title in every oneis guaranteed. C. E. Shoeciaker and Company court the closest investigation of the Judith basin, of the loans they are! making, and of their company. They collect all interest, and look after the payment of taxes and in surance, without charge. Incidentally, it might be remarked that jC. E. Shoemaker and Company are1 ftoing seventy-five pen cent of tha mortgage loan business transacted in th6 Judith hasin. The Republican fox all news. Sept, 21 Plymouth's first Home Coming and Fall Festival opened auspiciously this. morning. The weather was lull and threatening in the early hours, but later the indi cations betokened a lovely fall day. The early morning trains brought large numbers to the citv and bv the Jäte atternoon the streets wera crowded. It is quiTe probable that the esti mate of the Commercial Club of an. attendance of 30,000 will be surpass ed during the three days of the Festival. 'The lavish decorations everywhere were the subject of most favorable comment by strangers, and the opin ion was generally expressed that Plymouth had "done itself proud" in its laudable undertaking. Dur ing the day the bp.nds of Bremen and Bourbon discoursed excellent music along the principal streets. One o7 the finest displays of horti culture ever shown in Marshall coun ty, is on exhibition in a tent on Michigan street, opposite Buck's hardware stoie. Tc morrow the judges will award the prizes, ami the competition in the ditlerent sec tions of the exhibit will be decidedly keen.1 Every imaginable variety of vegetables from the ma nmoth squaslv, to the p'eklmg onion is shown in end less variety, and it.was-acknowl- edged by'all those who had viewed the display, that the farmers were entitled to high encomiums -for the magnificent exhibit which they had made possible. J. H. WeVter, whose farm is three miles west of the city, has sent in an exhibit of apples which for size, coloring and general excellence, has seldom been beaten in any fruit show in this state. It was remark ed by one of the strangers in the city that he had no idea, it was possible to raise such apples in Marshall county, which will surely gain freshu laurels by this very excellent dis play. Schlosser's Exhibit. Near the postoffice on Michigan street is Schlosser Bros, tent in which, there are many interesting things to all dairymen. There will be found pictures illustrating good and bad dairy cows, what cows produce tho most and best butter fat, cream separators, etc., etc. Mr. IL C Mills, formerly of this city, has an interesting display from Pardua University. Commercial Clnb Booth. On north Michigan street is i very interesting booth where all sorts cf novelties and souvenirs can be bought. The booth is in charge of Worle Seybold and two of Plym outh's prettiest girls. Miss Irens Kuhn and Miss Melita Shoemaker, All who want souvenirs in buttons, pennants, flags, and all things else imaginable can get them here. Special Policemen. . The large number of special police men which will he seen and recognis ed by their badges, have been ap pointed by the Commercial Club on. the authority of the city. While these men have an eye out for mis demeanors, their chief business will be to answer inquiries, and assist in showing all t'e visitor? a good time. Don't hesitafto tl ask a special policeman any question' about the Home Coming or pertaining to your comfort and happines while in the city. . - J Night Letter From Florida.
