DOG SHELTER HAS EVERYTHING BUT FLEAS FOR THEM

Dors of Muncie can well hold their heads in pride for the last words in home comforts are embodied in the new Animal Shelter house which will be opened as soon as the city council passes the ordinance appropriating $8,600 for maintenance of the “canine pal-

ace.”

Mrs. William C. Ball, donor of the Animal Shelter House, to the Humane Society of this city has already spent more than $10,000 on the 17 kennel and bath palacfe and Inc end is in sight just as soon as the maintenance ordinance is

passed.

Private exercise runs,- hot and

cold running water, a new type hot air heating system, tub baths, telephone service, food, coal, ice and just a dandy $700 special built fourcoihpartment automobile to haul them to and from the shelter are provided for them partly by Mrs. Ball and partly by the maintenance ordinance of $3,500 which must be passed before the “shelter warm-

ing” ceremonies can be set. Nothing has been overlooked but

supplying the fleas, but perhaps the fortunate canines will be content to abandon their time-honor-ed pet^when they enter the new shelter house. Next, perhaps, the flea hospital and infirmary will be needed to take care of the dog’s

pets for are they not, too, entitled the dog tax goes to the general to consideration. Jfund the expenditures will be Items in the ordinance are sal- matched up and cost the “dogless” aries, $900; > heat, light and gas, individual taxpayer not a cent, it $100; doctor and veterinarian, is hoped.

coal and. ice, $200; garage and moU>r supplies, $300; equipment, $200; motor equipment, $700, and

miscellaneous, $218.

Humane society leaders who

sponsored the ordinance last year providing for the acceptance of the use of the animal shelter graciously permitted the dog lovers and owners to finance the maintenance of the shelter for unfortunates. They provided for a dog tax of $1

per animal in the ordinance. it is estimated that there are at

least 2,500 taxable dogs in Miincie, although it may he said that the credit rating of some of the less valuable of the breeds might be questioned. The past administration ordered ahd received 2,500 brass tags which entitles the dog wearing same to the privileges of the city, yet keeps them out of the new $16,000 plus palace because they cannot qualify unless they scheme around some way to go

A. W. O. L. on their owner. So far only two tags have been

sold, one being purchased by Lester Holloway, city controller, for the "Holloway family pet. There are still 2,498 brass tags awaiting disposition. The tax is paid to the controller’s office and goes to the city’s general fund. Since the ordinance for $3,500 maintenance comes from the general fund and

Dale hasn’t yet learned the half of it, flippantly remarked Councilman Robert Tumelson when he read the mayor’s expose of the nuiltipathed political operations of the councalman-at-large prior to the primary when he finally obtained fhe Democratic nomination.

strued and to verify this ebservation the mayor cited some of the premary “visiting” of Tumelson. Just about a year ago when the Faris-For-Mayor organization met in the Superior Court room to outline plans for the primary activities of that group, Tumelson appeared at the meeting and after talking with several men there inquired if

Corbett Johnson, who operated a blind tiger in Whitely until the new administraion took office on Jan. 6, found recently that title to his new 45 acre farm in Blackford county near the Delaware county line was “clouded” with officers. He is out of $1,000 bond awatiirig disposition of his liquor law violation charges in the Blackford County Circuit Court. Johnson was a familiar figure among the liquor law violators here and one that believed Mayor Dale meant business when he said that “tigers” were to lie chased out of Muhcie. So when the new mayor took office Johnson took leave of Miincie and acquired a 45-acre farm just ovei; the Delaware county line in Blackford county. As Johnson explains it to friends he understood

ho also acquired rights to use it as a base for liquor law violation

operations.

On the other hand the Blackford county sheriff did not understand the deal that way, in fact he didn’t know of the “protection” guaranty supposed to accompany the deal. In company with deuties-the sheriff descended upon the Johnson farm and proceeded to arrest him. No amount of argument could convince the sheriff and deputies that the “arrest proof” title had been issued for the property and so to jail he went until the $1,000 bond could he obtained. Now Johnson is investigating the authenticity of his non-interference title and it is safe to say that his farm will remain “clouded” with officers as" long as he bersisits in

that when he purchased the farm violating laws*on his real estate. womMshangeeT TODAY IN ARIZONA

Now just where the council-at-large gained that notion is hard to tell, likewise many other notions he has advanced. Next he wanted to get a complete set of municipal laws for his use and he was informed that perhaps the circuit court library would be-an ideal place to spend a lifetime trying to memorize all the municipal ordinances and laws.

Undaunted by the unqualified defeat of last November at the polls the Unity Leaguers and their cohorts in the Democratic machine are making a strenuous attempt to again gain control of politics in Delaware county at the

May 6 primary.

Already these two sadly defeated groups have conducted several widely-scattered meetings to stimulate some loyalty among their followers and are pounding their chests to revive courage that they can sfgain hoodwink the voters into following them to their type of exploiting government.

Washington, Feb. 21—(UP)—The city of Alexandria, Va., will celebrate Washington’s birthday this week with President Hoover as thp honored guest, but it will be a far different celebration from that day in 1799 when Washington, himself, was present, when wine flowed freely In scores of rousing toasts. The Alexandria Gazette, which bears on its masthead the proud assertion that it is “the oldest daily' newspaper in the United States,” has circulated copies of the 1799 edition bearing an account of General. Washington’s visit to the cjty. It was during the administration of John Adams and Thomas Jefferson was vice president. General Washington reviewed the troops lined up in his honor and then the celebration broke up into various dinner parties, at which “the wines were such as did honor to the preparers.” A full list of the toasts was given, and since they represent ed the spirit of the times, here are

some of them; .

Red Top Garage Meeting

With the primary just seven weeks away these old gangs are trying to make hay while the sun shines. One of their first moves was a recent meeting at the Red Top garage at which both Unity League and “Has Been” Democrats were the principal inciters of courage in

the faultering forces.

Paul Leffler, one pf the Unity League leaders, and candidate for the nomination of prosecuting attorney was one of the headliners at the gathering. Four years ago Leffler attempted to capture the same nomination, but the Cromer boys were not sufficient numerous to obtain the covereted prize for

elected to that post of honor in the community. Harve Leffler, uncle of the candidate for the prosecutor’s nomination, was elected county clerk on the anti-Cromer ticket. As long as these Lefflers could remain wjth their lingers in the public till they remained anti-Cromer which at any time in the history of Republican politics in this county in the past quarter of a century means anti-organization Republican.

Leffler Also Ran

Moving the hand of time onward we find that four years ago the crown prince of the Leffler family, as an anti-Billy Williams Republican, ran against Joe Davis for the nomination as prosecutor. Golden spooned Paul trailed the newcomer in politics by a large number of votes. Immediately after the primary Paul flirted with the Jim Fitch outfit. Clarence Dearth was at that time judge of the “circus” court and he appointed Paul as probate commissioner, splitting the terms

Muncie for six years.

To get back to the meeting headliner, Paul Leffler, there is a strange contrast in his candidacy. Back in the old days his father, Joseph Leffler, was an anti-Cromer man and rabidly proclaimed his opposition to this long-time Republican boss. An uncle of Paul’s, Harve Leffler, likewise was lined up against this headman of the Dela-

ware County G. O. P.

it was as an anti-Cromer candidate that Joseph Leffler was elected twice as prosecuting attorney, and later with the same party affiliation against Cromer was selected judge of the circuit court and re-

The old Republican ring led by George Cromer then by Billy Williams and with the new leadership of Jim Fitch boasts such membership as the illustrious Clarence Dearth, Lon Thornburg, Charles Van Matre, Harry Hoffman, John Truitt, Andrew Jackson and their host of admirers and seekers for a chance to exploit the public treasury are now the Unity Leaguers. They sensed that the public wanted something new and gave the voters a new name but under the same sponsorship so the voters proved too intelligent tef follow this new name without asking who was behind the name. When they found out, the Unity Leaguers were repulsed most emphatically. But hope (Continued to Page Two)

Knowing that a large number would like to take advantage of euch an exceptional investment opportunity, the Company is offering the stock for cash and on a most Mbernl partial payment plan. Pay■ments as low as $10 a month will hr- accepted. This places the security within the reach of all. “Customer Ownership” Popular. “Customer Ownership,” said an official of the Indiana General Service Company yesterday, “is growing rapidly. Almost all of the electric power and light companies are engaged in the sale of securities to their customers. This is practical, business-like and in the public in-

terest.”

“Believing that all public service com names should encourage such public ownership, Indiana General Service Company, as far back as 1919, first sold Preferred Stock to ‘ts customers, employes and other 'ocal people. The company considers local people the logical ones to receive the money the Company pays out as dividends every three

months.

“This proves to be of mutual ad- jpany.

This stock is not something for rich people only. Folks who have only a small amount may invest in our stock on exactly the same basis and enjoy the same rights and privileges as the person with thousands of dollars to invest. Anyone who would like to invest his savings will find this stock the answer to the question, ‘where can I put my savings so that they will be SAFE and where they can he depended upon to pay me a regul-

Resale Department Aids. “A very important feature of our Customer Ownership Plan is that the Company maintains a resale department at its offices to assist and advise local stockholders who may wish to sell their shares, when people invest they too frequently neglect to make sure that if they want to cash in their holdings they can do so easily and

promptly.”

Shares are being sold for cash or easy payments at $102.00 and accrued dividend per share and may be purchased at all offices or through any employe of the com-
