Well, no difference who is elected mayor of Indianapolis, the citizens of that place have the assurance that lie 4» will be a better average than the present incumbent J. Fred France, clerk of the su- , preme court has written friends that he will be a candidate for re-election. For thirty years it has been th%custom to give that official the nomination sos a second term. Mr. France has made good as a public official and his many friends here, his old home, will “pull'’ for him as hard as they can. - Mrs. Fred McCullough is known as the “fly-woman’’ of Fort Wayne, because of the crusade she has led against the house fly. She has organized that city into a fly-killing brigade and it will soon be known as the ! flyless city. She has now branched out and is delivering addresses in the ' cities of the Twelfth district, and with good success. She has secured the co-operation of the children by of- ! sering prizes and her work has been ■■ quite wonderful, showing what one person can do when they have deter- j mination and sticktuitiveness. — The offer of George E. Kessler, the noted landscape architect, to the Fort j Wayne park board, is a particularly ! gracious one. When informed thati the board would not renew its contract with Mr. Kessler for another year because all available funds would be needed in repairing flood damage and developing parks already in existence, Mr. Kessler very promptly volunteers to continue his services to the city without financial compensation under the circumstances. The gifted landscape wizard is demonstrating that he is infinitely more interesten in seeing Fort Wayne made a beautiful city than in the money he , is going to get out of advising us how it ought to be done. —Fort Wayne Sentinel.
