The Coppock Motor Car company’s proposed Issue of $100,000.00 five year debenture bonds, bearing interest at rate of six per cent, per annum, payable semi-annually, with provision inserted In each of said bonds that the same shall be convertible into common stock of the company within eighteen months from date of issue, ?at option of the holders, on basis of three shares of common stock for each SIOO.OO of the principal of said bonds, "the company must place at least $25,000'.00 of this issue among the citizens of Decatur in order to make the issue a success. The company believes if the benefits to be derived from the issue of these bonds by the business men of Decatur is fully ap-

3 predated that the same will be quickr ly over-subscribed. With the funds t available by this issue of bonds, the ■ company would shortly employ at > i least 100 men. In wages alone, avt eraging about SIB.OO each per week, > makes a total wage for the five years i of about $469,000.00. , These wages are spent for living t expenses. Counting the average gross ’ i profits sold these laborers to be 20 . j per cent which in a majority of cases Is a net profit, since all operating ex- ' penses are always protected on presi ent business done, mean a direct profit on' this business of at least $93,- . 600.00. Add interest on bonds of $?,- i 500.00, makes* total profit on $25,006.00 to be $101,100.00, or at least 82 per , y , .gw .> a

Here’s the way It appeals to us, if meh merchant subscribed but |600.00 4 <ach: Four shoe dealers at <500.00 equals 12,000.00 invested. 100 employes, average 300 wearers of shoes or about 5,000 pair shoes in- 6 years, equals i bout gross new nusiness of <12,500.10. 20 per cent, gross profit equals !2,500.00.

Total Interest <3,100.00, or 31 per cfent. mnual returns from Investment of 12,000.00 In bonds. i Three furniture dealers at <500.00 equals <1,500.(M) invested. 100 employes at <25.00 each per annum equals gross business of at least <12,500.00. 20 per cent, gross profits equals <2,500.00; Interest on bonds equals <450.00; total interest <2,950.00, pr at least 39 per cent, annual returns from Investment of <1,500.00. Nine grocers investing each <500.00 equals <4,500.00 invested. 100 men at ( average of <5.00 per week for grocery products mean a total new business of at least <130,000.00. Counting only ten per cent profits on this business equals <13,000.00 Interest on bonds at 6. per cent, equals $1,350.00. Total returns <14,350.00, or at least 64 per cent, annual returns from an Investment of only $4,500.00 and at that the Investment will be returned at the epd of 5 years, or an option granted within 18 months converting it into stock that should pay a large dividend on the investment. It is needless to continue these prospective figures, but if you take into consideration In the same way the return to the three hardware dealers, five meat dealers, five restaurants and bakeries, twelve doctors and dentists, four dry goods dealers, four clothing merchants also the lawyers, renters I of houses, phone company, electric I light company, bankers, insurance | men—in fact every merchant and proI fessional man in Decatur will profit I in exact proportion to the business 1 done. There are at least 100 business ■ men in Decatur who would profit in I these proportions from these wages. I This is not a wild cat scheme. It I is a good investment. One investor I who is trained to pick out the good I from the bad in just the same way I that our bankers pick out their credits I when they loan their hundreds of I thousands of dollars of deposits, proI nounced it at least a 30 per cent, in- ■ vestment and backed up his judgment I with a very heavy subscription. I This is not a new concern. Nearly I $60,000.00 is already invested in the I capital stock of the company. Their I assets today exceed their liabilities » and the market is ready and waiting for the product. There is no reason on earth why the business should not grow sufficiently within the next few years and employe at least 1,000 men at that time. Other industries in the same business are doing it Newcastle, Ind., has one factory that employs 2,300 men and Newcastle is no larger than Decatur. OutsMe Investors are waiting t< take up this proposition. The busl- ; ness will be continued. It only remains for our company to say the ; word and the bonds would be over subscribed by foreign investors. But we want to keep the plant at Decatur. We can’t afford to move. Our product is well known and identified with Decatur. We expect to solicit subscription this week among our Investors in Decatur. We trust you will give it your careful consideration and purchase the maximum amount you can . I spare from your other investments. I Coppock Motor Car Co. I o— — I A culmination in the affairs of the | Decatur Furnace Cd. came Monday I afternoon when suit was entered In I the Adams circuit court, asking that a L receiver be appointed and the affairs I of the company closed up. The suit I was filed by A. P. Beatty who fepreI sented Tsadore Kalver in a claim of I $261.66, to which the Decatur Furnace I company is indebted to him. The I court appointed R. D. Myers as reI ceiver and he immediately filed bond I in the sum of thirty thousand dollars I as such official, and the property is | now in his hands. Such an outcome Lhas been looked fdr since R. D. Myers | came here several weeks ago /or the purpose of assuming the management of the plant and the business of the company. The first thing he done was ! to make a close itemized statement [ef the assets of the company and he brought to light the fact that the former management had been anything but successful, even a harsher term might with propriety be used. The affairs were such that the board of directors wisely closed up the plant, and since then several plans of reorganization have been attempted, all "of which failed, and now the .courts will sell it and pay the debts, or as much of them as it can. It is to be hoped, that some one will get control of the plant and continue the business as the Decatur Furnace company has been a good asset fdr Decatur. o— Another letter comes from Harvey Harruff which gives his first comment

upon the crops in and around Fremont,. Michigan, where he owns a fine farm, and which at the present time he thinks is about the greatest place on the face of the earth. He devotes the letter to the peach industry, and there is no use talking, if half of what Harvey says Is true, it is a peach, sure enough. It Will take over three hundred refrigerator cars to handle the crop this year, and this is an increase in the number of cars of perhaps fifty. It is a great peach country, and when picked and put in baskets ready for shipment and the market will bring this year around a dollar a, bushel. Last year the price was eighty cents. Mr. Harruff estimates his crop this year at six hundred bushels, and he also says that he will ship them to Decatur and sell them for the low price, variety considered. Those here who want peaches, want (.to keep tab on tpe further announcements of the arrival of the Harruff peach car, as they will come direct be fresh and nice for canning. Other crops done well in Michigan this year, and Mr. Harruff says that the apple, potato and bean crops are immense, It is a splendid time for prospective byyers to go to Michigan as*this is the time of year when the crops are being cared for, and that is the time to get a correct line of the kind of soil a purchaser ■ is getting. Mr. Harruff will be absent for several weeks, spending all the time looking after his crops on his ' Fremont, Michigan, farm. i ■ o The dispatch sent out from Tacoma, ’ Washington, giving the contents of * the will of the late Col. C. P. Ferry, > is a little premature, and was sent 9 1 broadcast by some enterprising cori, respondent who thought more of the ’ few dollars coined in a business way a than he did of telling the truth in his B j dispatches. Relatives here have reIcelved word from there to the effect t that the will in question has been g filed for probate, but which will not g be opened and read until the 21st of n this month. After that time the disposition made by the decedent of his t property and other interests will be ,r known and not before. The death of d Col. Ferry cast a gloom over the eny tire city of Tacoma, and the funeral s was one of the most impressive ever f held there. The body lay in state in i- rooms of the Chamber of Commerce, L - the Masonic lodge being in charge, it Many eulogies were spoken, and the following in part perhaps the y most impressive: e Grieving over the loss of a fellow r townsman and inspired by his noble s character, Allen C. Mason eulogizes g the life of Col. Ferry in a most fitting n manner. In part he said: it “It is with a feeling of profound v regret, apd Also with the keenest a realization that some one else more e fitted should have been called upon, that I endeavor to eulogize the life s of this great man whose soul has gone r before us. Fame is a vapor, popularity accidental, riches have wings; those who laugh today may curse tomorrow, buto ’er this corpse I raise - my voice to make this prophecy: That e 50, yea 100, years or more from now r the name and character of Col. Clinton t P. Fqrry will be revered by tens of •. thousands, while the names of his t critics and detractors will be lost In - the rubbish of time. His life was a - most fitting Illustration of devotion 8 to energy for the betterment of the a physical and Intellectual welfare of - his fellow citizens. Col. Ferry lived i not for personal aggrandizement nor for glory, but for the satisfaction that it gave him to know that he was doing his duty as a man to his fellow men. j He got his reward in his daily life as r he followed the path that destiny had i laid out for him. His motive for aci tion was to do good and to make 3 good. His lovely character is stampt ed in the tablets of time. Conciliatory - in disposition, he was not obseqult ous; sunny but not frivolous, digm- > fled but not pompous —such was the' » man who lived not for himself but for - others.’’ [ o i H. J. Yager and Miss Anna Yager j will leave next Sunday for an extended > trip through the west, expecting at i this time to spend the most of their s time in Colorado, although the trip ; may embrace California before they ( return. They will go to Denver, Col- 1 i orado Springs, Boulder, perhaps Salt ; Lake City, and from these places they i have already planned many interesting side trips, and there will not be much of that country worth seeing that will not be visited by them. Both Denver and. Colorado are interesting ! 1 places at this time of the year, and 1 this year they have been crowded all 1 the time with tourist and sight seers < from all over this country. They are ] stopping places for those who go to 1 Seattle. The west this year have no 1 reason to complain of hard, times, as < the tourists are blowing themselves ’ good and plenty in that section of the t country this year. The Yagers are t planning to have a great time and will f spend all their time in seeing the i sights, proposing not to miss anything 1 worth seeing. ' r l k»G'■ ' C - ' — 1 Vista , r

r Don L. Burke, one of Decatur’s most brilliant young men, and who aspires to the ministry, delivered his first sermon Sunday morning at Beulah Chapel, where to an audience of interested auditors he discoursed upon the theme Divine Revelation.” Mr. Burke chose the words from 11. Peter, 1:21, as follows:, “But Holy men of God spake as they were ihoved by the holy spirit” and from these he drew a picture of Divine revelation which deeply interested his every , hearer. The sermon was scholarly and the. subject was completely exhausted by the excellent arguments , presented. Mr. Burke is a young man of great ability. Though yet in his teens he has acquired a practical and technical knowledge which would , do credit to those many years his , senior. He will next year graduate from the Decatur high school and . subsequently (will take a college , course preparatory to entering the Methodist ministry. Mr. Burk has . been requested to repeat his sermon at the meeting of the Epworth League next Sunday evening, and he will no doubt comply with the request o_ Attorney D. E. Smith filed a new case In the Adams circuit court entitled Pdter Smith vs. The Onandaga, Indiana Oil company and Edward E. Hamil. It is a suit for the foreclosure of a mechanics* lien and demands judgment for S2OO and attorney’s fees. The suit is for labor long since rendered and unpaid. A marriage license has been issued to Robert Fritzinger and Miss Emma Davidson, both of whom applied at the clerk's office late Saturday. Deputy Clerk Dan Roop is again at his desk in the clerk’s office, after a week spent with relatives and friends in Ohio. ■ ; o s BEGAN CONDEMNATION SUIT Condemnation suit will be filed this afternoon by Simmons & Dailey, attorneys for the B. G. & C. against Lloyd Brown and Nancy C. Brown for a right-of-way across their land, east of this city. It is alleged in the complaint that the defendants and the plaintiff could not agree on the price to be paid for such land or to location of the right-of-way. It is thought that this will be the only piece of land which will have to be condemned by . the line. Appraisers will soon be ap- , pointed by the court and these men will set a value on the right-of-way. If this value is not satisfactory to 1 either the plaintiff or the defendants an appeal can be taken to the circuit court and the evidence heard, which will result in the setting of a price.— Bluffton Banner. I o —— WERE LUCKY IN JAY COUNTY Two | Jay county men and it is i thought perhaps three, were lucky In ( the government distribution of land t in the Flathead Indiana reservation at < Coeur D’Alene, Idaho, Thursday and j Friday, they being William Kessler, < living six miles north of. this city in S Bearcreek township and Lover Bayne, 1 of Dunkirk.

he had written no one fiere of his good fortune—Portland Sun. o IS NOW IN DEEP REMORSE ■ Fort Wayne, Ind., Aug. 16. —Lucina Rettig, the 15-year-old South Bend lad who attempted to commit suicide by shooting himself, is now conscious and in deep remorse his deed. His father, sister and aunt from South Bend are at his bedside. The father has freely forgiven the boy, who declares that he must have committeed the deed while temporarily insane. Mr. Rettig says that his son Was seized by wanderlust through extensive reading of dime novels. Two weeks ago he left South Bend after taking S3O of his father’s money and making extensive purchases of clothing, which he had charged to his father. Tipton, jldd., JAug. 17.—With the First National bank, looted by Noah Marker, its cashier,* to the extent of $105,000, now open for business the people of this city are wondering what the outcome of the government’s probe into the affairs of the bank will be. Further developments are expected, but hardly before the federal grand jury meets in Indianapolis in October. Agents of the department of justice are busy in Tipton, keeping men who have been connected with the bank under surveillance and gathering evidence for the district attorney’s office. The district attorney is being kept informed constantly of whfrt is going on in Tipton. The question as to whether the bank's funds were used in an illegal way and whether others besides Noah Marker had a hand in directing the funds of the bank into the channels through which they went is now occupying the government agents. It is confidently expected here that the probe of the grand jury will bring some distinct revelations. There was very little agitation when the bank opened its doors at 9 o’clock yesterday. A large number of depositors were in waiting in the vicinity of the bank, although no crowd had gathered in front of the doors. Police were on hand to preserve order if necessary. There was no commotion, however, the people entering and withdrawing their money or making deposits, as they saw fit. The people appear to have implicit confidence in the new bank. Shortly before closing time the books showed that the withdrawals exceeded the deposits by $13,000. The certificates of deposit, exclusive of passbook accounts, amounted to $43,000. The withdrawals of certificates of deposit reached $56,000. o FIREMAN SAVES CHILDREN Hero Creeps Out. on Pilot and Jerks Two from Death. Wellston, O, Aug. 17.— Snatching two little children from the jaws of death, Charles Carpenter, fireman on a Detroit, Toledo & Ironton switch engine, proved himself a hero today. As the engine sped along the rails Carpenter noticed Pearl and Anthony Sourds, 2 and 3 years old, respectively, playing in them iddle of the track; Carpenter dashed out on the running board and leaning far out from the pilot, at the risk of his own life, caught the children in his arms. j —o — Ray Preston, who has been in the city on business, returned to Fort Wayne todfcy.
