Inquiry among the freight officials fully demonstrates that there is no relief yet in the car situation. Every empty car as soon as it arrives is loaded with the greatest of prompt, ness or sent forward to some other point where there is a great demand for cars. The scarcity does not seem to apply to any one road, all important lines being in the same condition as regards the car question. The town was so small that the advent of a new automobile always created a stir proportionate to the importance of the event. When the wealthiest citizen finally succumbed to the popular craze and invested his dollars in a large touring car, all the neighbors rushed out to see the new machine speed by. “Phew!” gasped one of the spectators. “That's the worst smelling one of the lot!” “It ought to be,” piped the minister’s youngest. “It belongs to the richest man.” County assessors in Indiana are to face a new proposition. The law plainly states that money loaned to chartable institutions must be listed as taxables and lodge societies that have prospered by the insurance bonds are not exempt from the ruling. It has been the custom of the county assessors to overlook these bonds when listing the county’s taxables but the mat. ter was brought plainly before the assessors and the state board of tax commissioners and it was decided that the law requires that the bonds be placed on the tax duplicates.

The 35,973 rural carriers employed by the government travel a total of 863,363 miles of country roads everyday in the year. When complete service has been established not less than 1,000,000 miles of road will be traveled daily. This situation, in the opin. ion of the postal authorities, affords an opportunity to push the good roads movement as it never has been pushed in this country. President Evans stated this morning that there was very little probability of this city going after the automobile factory which has been reported as desiring a location in this city. He noticed a statement in an Indianapolis paper that a big auto factory was hunting a location and the secretary was told to correspond with them, more to see what the concern wanted than anything else. The piano factory deal has about used up the capital available for landing big enterprises and while there will be more factories than the one secured, yet not until a further plan has been made for get. ting funds will anything so large as an automobile factory be tackled.— Bluffton Banner-

On Monday Amos Steiner sold his half interest in the People's restau. rant to Eprhaim Baumgartner and son, Menas. Mr. Steiner had been in the business only a few weeks, but it seems that the restaurant business did not agree with him. He is as yet undecided what he will do next. Berne News. Several local capitalists may give Bluffton a small factory, as stated several days ago. They are investigating a patent furniture caster and may build a small concern to manufacture that and possibly one or two ' other articles. As they are Bluffton people they will not, of course, ask for 'a subsidy.—Bluffton News. A merchant in a nearby town hap- ; pened around when a farmer was unloading a number of boxes which bore the mark of a Chicago mail order house and inquired the price of the articles purchased the then told him 'that he could have sold them as cheap. The farmer said, “Is that so? I Why, I didn’t know you kept them. ' I take the home paper and never saw ! your advertisement. The Chicago I house advertised what I wanted and so I sent to them.” A number of ! Decatur merchants might read this ■ item the second time, with profit. One of the bills passed by the house last week is important to sportsmen as it revises the game law of the state. The measure was introduced by Representative Cox and it has the approval of the fish and game commission. The bill regulates those game laws that relate to the killing of quail. The “bag limit” on quail is reduced from twenty-four to fifteen a day. The bill prohibits dove shooting. It permits any resident land owner, his children and tenants to hunt on his own land without license. The bill provides also that the commissioner shall spend one.third of all license money in purchasing live quail and other species of live game for the purpose of restocking the state with such game. Such a law was not needed during the last season. Some hunters did not kill fifteen quail during the entire six weeks they were allowed to hunt.

A Jersey judge rules that “a wife must support her husband" if accident renders him unable to provide for her. Thought woman would be “handed something" like this if she kept butting into the limelight. Representative E. A. Baker of Elkhart believes that telegraph operators who are charged with the duty of receiving train orders should be licensed by the state. He is a strong supporter of a bill now pending in the house providing that all operators, employed by railroads shall submit to an expert examination as to their efficiency.
