A fear that trouble might arise ! in the senate over the granite bid : was expressed by Watson. He l pointed out that when the commis- | sion asks for more appropriations. |as he said would be necessary, it I would be difficult to explain why jthe limestone bid had not been accepted, with its $146,800 saving. A. E. Kemmer, Lafayette, enter|ed the limestone bid. which was i $627,000. One other bid was coni sidered. that of the Hegeman-Har-|ris company, New York, for $823,- ! 500. All provided for use of some I limestone, but the Heath bid call- ; ed for only 8,000 cubic feet. Members of the commission votI ing for the Heath bid were Senator * Simeon D. Fess, Ohio, president; I Senator Kenneth McKellar, Tennessee; Representative Arthur H. (Greenwood, second Indiana district; (Luther D. Smith, St. Louis; Francis H. Gavisk, Indianapolis; D. (Frank Culbertson. Vincennes; Lee (Burns, Indianapolis; L. M. O’Ban ’ non. Corydon, and C. J. Richards, | Terre Haute. Schortemeier announced immediaely after the decision that the (fight for limestone would not be , dropped. He said he hoped that Andrew Mellon, secretary of the (treasury, whose signature was needled on the contract, before work I could begin, would not overlook the ’ | opportunity to save money by the use of limestone. “The commission threw away this money, but wc hope the secretary of the treasury will be interested in saving the public interest,” Schortemeier said. , i Members of the commission atJ tacked limestone representatives ' for their tactics in seeking use of , * their product. A letter from Joseph ; W. Kimmell, mayor of Vincennes, assured the commission that the J citizens of that city "have confi,dence in the commission that they t wit not be influenced by selfish in- . terests and particularly by mater(ial men who have something to (sell." 0 II Ask Rate Increase 11 Indianapolis, July 14 - (U.R) —An >! echo of railroad officials’ recent r plea before the interstate com- | merce commission that rates be >' increased 15 per cent, reached the j Indiana public service commission l today. » , Directors irf 14 railloads o-perat-ing in the state filed a petition ■ with the commission asking an s I increase in rates similar to the ’ I one that would be approved by ’he ‘.interstate group.

! Peace Urge and Progress Hit Soldier of Fortune * * * * * * Wars and Revolutions Occur with Less Frequency and Are Over Before Mister Adventurer Can Join the Fracas IM-MtWOkV hiwr I IT A . W -ORGANIZER ANO ■ I W " » t W HEAOSB Ot Tdt J L.V ■ # HI £*---- d M■■ ■! iliD'lu Rafael dl Nogales IFCkristmas With the nations of the earth turning from Mars disillusioned, that hardy breed, the soldiers of fortune, find themselves at a very loose end. And it is not alone the desire for peace that irks these colorful trouble-hunters. Progress also has done its share to make life uninteresting for the men whose very existence is fighting and adventure. Planes and radio have taken a lots of the romance out of surprise revolutions. No more can men like Lee Christmas stride through South American jungles setting up or unseating governments just for the fun of it. And to make things worse, the attitude of the U. S. in refusing to recognize governments set up by coup d'etat has had a pronounced effect in discouraging revolutions. Perhaps the most colorful soldier of fortune alive today is Rafael de Nogales, who fought in revolts from Mexico to Brazil and rose to be a division commander in the Turkish Army. Another name that comes readily to mind is that of Bert Hall, an American now with General Chan's army in China. 1 hen there is Alfred Batson, American author, who stirred things up in South America until the U. 5- Marines invited him to leave.

New York. July 13.—While national leaders in every country are 1 ■ bending all their efforts towards ’ I securing a lasting peace for this!’ war-weary world it is interesting to; Inote that there is one type of the; genus homo to whom the dove with [> the clive branch is as welcome as! an Arab in a synagogue. Every generation has had its lit | tie corps of adventurers, soldiers of i fortune, to whom fighting is meat]’ and drink, the glamor of war their very existence, and the present age | is no exception. But the universal desire for peace | | is slowly but surely writing finis to| the colorful character whose arl-; , ventures rivaled anything in sic-j ticn. And it is not only the world’s' ] tiring of war that harasses these] (| stormy petrels. Progress has also’ | done its bit towards making life j untenable for the champions of lost causes and trouble hunters. The [ airplane ami radio make it impossible for men like Lee Christmas to' '(stride through the jungles of Cen’,tral America tvith smoking pistol, I seating and unseating presidents, I making cr unmaking governments as the whim struck them. Warnings can now be sent too II speedily, defenses can be set up] too surely. The revolt is put down ' lor brought to a snc(*essful epnelu- ’ ] sion in jig time and there is little] J chance for the soldier of fortune to! mix into the fracas unless he is al-1 | ready on the spot. Alfred Batson, author and not I ! above a craving for a little excite- [ r ment now and then, bemoans the] ; fact that wars and revolutions don’t • las’ long enough any more. They; don’t give a fellow a chance to take ’ I a hand unless he happens to have ] magic carpet at his command.;

And Batson has more than a hear-1 say knowledge of the soldier of ' fortune. Having fought with the j Canadians in the World War, ini volved himself in a few of Central America’s frequent revolts, been i ordered out of Nicaragua by the U. S Marines, he finally went to .China to follow in the footsteps cf Frederick Townsend Ward, of Sal- . cm, Mass., another filter at windmills. who helped the famous “Chjnise Gordon" to write finis at the Taiping rebellion, the greatest revolt in the history of China, which Bost lO.OtW.OOU lives. Probably the mcst colorful soldier of fortune alive today is Rafael de Nogales. A Venezuelan by birth, this happy warrior fought in revolutions from Mexico to Brazil and rose to be a division commander in the Turkish Army. Closely on the heels of De Ncgales coines Lieut. Bert Hall, a product of our own United States. A pioneer airman, Hall was in It'll the one-man air force of the Turkish army. In 1914 he was a member of the original Lafayette Escadrille and at the moment of . writing is with General Chan’s iarmy in China. Yes, times are indeed bad for ’the soldier of fortune .and things haven't been improved any by the I attitude of the United States to- ! wards revolutions and so forth. ■The State Department now refuses to recognize these mushroom governments set up by coup d'etat and |as recognition by Washington is ’ regarded as essential to the success of any such venture, there isn't jmuch incentive left the fiilibusters to start something. . c • I ->et the Habii—Trace «t Home I'

Sometimes not more ' than two dozen books were bought |in the year. Aside from supple-'. i mentary readers or singing books : for the school: go to the superin- ; tend-ent anil inquire if new books would be bought this year. You received courteous treatment. assure 1 ! there would be, and tn i answer to this request you would tnaki? out a list cf eight or ten books your club would need during %)e year as an aid to their studies. The result would be they would be bought from the July appropriation, but apparently no others during the year. Investigation at the treasurer’s office developed; the fact that the amount assessed should he $606.00 .per year. At a meeting of tfce club ladies later, the matter was placed before them. There was a feeling, of deep regret with all that our; , Library should R’ standing still I w-ith $600.00 a year for its support.] ( It was paying no room rent, light.; ; heat, nor janitor fees, because a room was set apart for it in the | Central school building. In time: the Library room was taken for school purposes and your presence was not desired except after school hours. That is an inconvenient time for women who have household duties to go for a book. The next step in the downward, course of the Library was that the cases were distributed in different rooms, in the halls, ami in the | Ijasomeut. Again d<?ep indignation was felt by the wtfrnen. but they were helpless. There was nothing : they could do. In the winter of 1903 a club woman was in a business bouse and. beifore leaving, said to Mr. Woodward, "What are you going, to do about the Library? Are you going to got some new Hooks?" i He replied. "I don't know. We; got a fine set of rptereiice books this winter.” They sat down in the rear room; of the store and had a long talk, the result erf which was Mr. Woodward said. “1 will do the best I can. Make out a list of books for any club or any one and I will ser that they are bought.” When she got to the door she returned to the rear of the room and said. "I wish we had a Carnegie Library.” Then another talk re- ■ suited, and time passed on. j o WARM WEATHER IS PREDICTED fcONTkNUEb FORM PAGE ONE) ) | Good wheat yields are being re- * ported throughout the county and t northern (Indiana.
