Three Foolish Jews. Three jews who were undoubtedly traveling men, tried to cut up a little at the Iris theatre last night and '1 became necessary for a young man to place a good sized fist in the back of one of the aforesaid individuals neck in order to convince him that there was a time and a place for kid play and a time and a place to be good. The jews had a spot flash light and were amusing themselves by shooting it around in the faces of 'other people. It was a five-year-old kid prank and not at all elevating to older people, but the three gentlemen probably imagined that Norton was too small to note the difference. A mans fist sometimes is a good thing to bring another man to his senses and it may be that smart alecks will hesitate before starting anything in 'the future.

HAVE CHANGED THE NAME NOW 'Salvation Army to Be Known as the 'Rescue Workers in This Country Hereafter. An amicable agreement has been entered into between the original Salvation Army, the organization founded by the late General William Booth and the American Salvation Army organized by General William Duffin in Pennsylvania, as a result of which the American Salvation Army has applied to the courts of the commonwealth of Pennsylvania to amend 1 its charter by changing the name of the Corporation to the American Rescue Workers, and also has agreed to discontinue the use of the name the "American War Crys" for its official paper and so change the uniform of its officers and soldiers so as to avoid closely resembling that worn by the officers and soldiers of the Salvation Army. The change is to become erative on May 1, 1913. The change in designation of the American Salvation Army to the American Rescue Workers is made for the purpose of avoiding any confusion or misunderstanding on the part of the general public, owing to similarity of its name to that of the the Salvation B. Northrup Ensign.

Doctors belonging to medical associations have a rule which forbids, them from mentioning their name in connection with any case whatever. The greater number of the Norton doctors, have requested the Telegram to observe this rule and in cases of minor importance we always respect their wishes, but in cases of extra ordinary importance, where unusual things occur we do not believe that names should be omitted. Dr. Cole, is the Rock Island physician for Norton and in case of a railroad wreck he is always called and in that case Dr, Cole will probably get his name in the paper, Dr. Lathrop is the County physician and health officer and quite frequently we see reasons why we should mention his name in connection with a quarantine for 1 instance, Dr.

Kenney is Superintend- ent of the new state Sanatorium and will probably get his name in the daily for cause more times in the next two years on that account than any other doctor in Norton. Dr. Tinney is building up a large hospital practice and we are already seeing his name connected with cases in our out of town exchanges and Dr. Koory has something unusual in some case or other two or three times a week. 'This paper has no war against the 'doctors or the association which condems mentioning the names of doctors in common cases and we try to observe the ethical rules in that respect but when events out of the ordinary occur we feel that the doctors name should be mentioned just the same as the names of the other parties.

LIBERTY BELL LONG SILENT. Famous Belie Has Not. Sounded for Seventy Years. Seventy years ago on February 22 the Liberty Bell was rung for the last time. This is contrary to the popular belief, says the Philadelphia Public Ledger.

The usual theory put forth is that the old bell was cracked in 1835 and ceased to be rung afther that time. of this notion is correct and' part is wrong. On the morning of June 8, 1835, the Liberty Bell, which for a century had been the city's greatest instrument for showing joy or grief, was being tolled for Chief Justice John Marshell. On that occasion it was badly cracked. But, broken as it was, the bell was afterward rung on great oc casions, although the tones were but sorry reminders of the once ful sound.

So it happened that seventy years ago, Washington's birthday, 1843, the old bell was once again tolled in joy. At that time, however, the previous crack became so wide that the tones were completely broken. It was never rung again afer that day and for seventy years is has remained voiceless. C. D.
