The number will be increased as necesary until an army of workmen will Le pushing the buildings to completion. The call for houses has caused some interest in mat direction and we know of several new residences. It is hard to say whether or not there will be enough to take care of the new citizens, but we feel sure that this emergency will be met if necessary. * ' The fact that Bryan secured the largest number of votes in the Star's primary contest proves one thing and that is liiat the Commoner still is bei loved and admired by many Hoosiers. They believe he is honest, and that he v. ould be a great president, and still with Governor Marshall an active can didate in Indiana and Senator Kern s name mentioned so often, it is not at ail likely that Mr. Bryan would be able to secure the Indiana vote. He is in no sense a candidate, but he will no doubt feel proud of the recognition given him in this straw vote. This game of life, ’.’.’hat is it? A busy, progressive merchant, leader or professional man dies. For a few hours, perhaps a few days, those left grieve and feel like giving up. ‘What’s me use of all the worry and bustle, all the cares and troubles?” we ask, if just as we reach a point where we can be of service, where we have proven our worth and ability, the grim reaper calls? But soon again we are in the whirl and time goes on. Each one carries a little oi the burden that the brother has laid down, or a younger man steps up to carry a share of the load, and so we progress. It’s a queer mixture of happiness and mourning, of hustle and rest, of failure and success, but urged on by ambition, by the tiust that others have in us, by the inherent instinct to do right, w r e go ever onward to the end, whatever that may he, iisklng t*-- unanswered questic.i, “What is life?” MONEY-MAKING STORE FOR SALE.
