Cool Work ' * ~ Why let the heat bother you this lummer ? Use more electricity. Keep coM. Work less. Accomplish more. Electric labor-savers cost little—to buy, to use. Save hours. Save health. Save money. Don’t live and work the ninteenth century way in this, the twentieth century. Use more electricity. Hardest and hottest of all tasks is the weekly house cleaning sweeping, dusting, beating—daily drudgery without a Hoover. - Make it cool and electrically quick, easy and pleasant with a Hoover. Only the Hoover is a rug-beater, a carpet sweeper and a vacuum cleaner —in one. See why. , See our window display. W. J. WRIGHT

NO EXCUSE FOR UNEMPLOYED; LOAFERS ARE TOO NUMEROUS.

There is absolutely no excuse in Indiana for unemployed labor. jVnd we seriously doubt whether there is in any other state. When, therefore, men come about with whines that they are unable to find work we may put them down as lazy pretenders and conscienceless drones. In Indianatoday there is a lamentable scarcity of farm labor which promises to hamper production very seriously and this, too, despite the fact that farmers are offering higher wages than 'ever before. The truth is that at the present high cost of living a man who obtains his board and room on a farm and takes the offered wage there is being better paid than in almost any other line of service. , But farm work is real work and only the exceptional man wants to take it. The curse of this country today is the all V>° general desire to receive high pay and render little or nothing in return. It is a curse, too, which augurs ill for the future, for: we know right well what the end will be. That which is produced, whether by farm or factory, represents work and when work is stopped or curtailed, production is stopped or curtailed. As a consequence prices advance and living conditions are made enormous. —Francesville Tribune.

INTERESTING ANNUAL REPORT

OF STATE BOARD OF CHARITIES PROVES OF INTEREST TO CITIZENS OF STATE. The twenty-ninth annual report of the board of sttte charities of Indiana has just reached this office. It is the report of the work of this board and statistics compiled for the year ending September 30, 1918. The report shows that the total number of persons admitted to the county jail during the year on the charges of vagrancy and intoxication were ■two, and that the total amount of cost was $29.40. Another table has been compiled showing the total number of inmates admitted to the county jail during the year as thirteen. This number is divided jpto the following classes: Serving sentence, one male; insane, one male and one female; miscellaneous, ten men. When the report from White county was sent in, there was just one woman in the jail, who was awaiting admission to the insane hospital. The report says: “After six months of state-wide prohibition and one year of war, the county jail population of Indiana is cut in two. Which of the two exerted the more influence, it is impossible to say. It is a well known fact that countries at war have fewer men prisoners. We expected that condition in Indiana. At the same time there is no doubt that prohibition alone has brought a large reduction in the jail population. Statistics compiled from thf sheriff’s reports to this office show that in the first six months under prohibition (April 1 to September 30, 1918), there were 1,966 commitments to the county jails on account of drunkenness as against 4,411 for the six months immediately preceding. The reduction is 55 per cent.” The population of the county asylums on August 31, 1918, has been classified and in White county was as follows: Feeble-minded, eight miles, six females; insane, one male; sickly, one male; total population, fifteen men and seven women; admissions during year were seven men and one woman. • Statistics have also been compiled regarding the compulsory school attendance and show that in White county sixty boys and thirty girls were brought into School. Of these forty of the boys and twenty-one of the girls were under fourteen years of age; twenty boys and nineteen girls were between the ages of fourteen and sixteen years. The probation officer made on hundred and eight calls and received for his work during the year the sum of $176, The report contains much of interest to the citizens of Indiana. Monticello Herald.

STATE BANK TO HAVE AN ENTIRELY NEW BUILDING.

The State Bank of Remington will move its office furniture, cash and employes next week into the north part of the Howard furniture store, where it w’ill continue to transact its regular business until its new home is completed. The Howard room still contains the old vault used by the Mclntire 'bank years ago, and later by the Harris bank, and is well adapted for the temporary home of the State Bank of Remington. Workmen will begin at once to demolish the old building vacated by this bank. The entire structure is to be torn down and a fine new and modern bank building erected on its site. The contract for the new structure is let to Mr. Moore, of Danville, 111., the contractor with whom Frank Timmons is associated. The new- building will be erected the full size of the lot? which is 63 feet, and the cut off comer as it now exists, will be done away with, thus giving a little more floor space for office room. The working part and offices will be located on the north side of the building, and entrance is arranged for the southwest corner. By this arrangement better lighting facilities are secured and will make it much 'better all around, it is thought. The front of the building is to be of Bedford stone, and the side of brick, with Bedford stone trimmings. The interior will be so arranged

that over the counters and work room the ceiling will be full two stories in height, while the directors’ room will be located upstairs, over the vault proper. The vault is to be built of immense thickness and so reinforced that it will be absolutely burglarproof. A big, new and absolutely burglar-proof steel door has been purchased at a price that should make it what is claimed for it as near as it is possible to make a steel door proof against. yegmen, which will be set in the vault, making this bank one of the safest institutions in the country. 1 The new building, when completed, will, without doubt, be equal to or superior to any buildings occupied by banks in the surrounding territory. The bank had made arrangements three years ago to have this done, but on account of war conditions had to give it up.—Remington Press.

HAYS DEFINES PARTY SITUATION

SETS pUT CLEARLY THE POSITION OF THE REPUBLICAN PARTY. t Will H. Hays, chairman of the republican national committee, in a rally of the first district republicans at Evansville declared in unequivocal terms that the Republican party will ever stand firm against “undue federalization' of industries and activities.” He said in part: “There is in this country a religious faith which believes in the divinity of the constitution of the United States. We do not adopt this tenet, but I approve of the direction of the thought, and I recommend the appreciation. There is a time not far distant when our heel must be in the ground. Law and order shall reign in this country. With a vision of the country's mission, and with "the highest sense of justice for all men, republicans will keep their eyes always ahead, but will keep their feet always on solid ground. We will not forget that while we fight to make certain the rights of fret- government in the world, we have a republic to preserve in this country; that we are a representative government, not a bolshevik syncopation; that while there is nothing in this country that we would not take and use for necessary war purposes, such taking must be for war purposes only, and in such action we do not propose to permit any eventual ulterior object. “The Republican party from its inception has stood against undue federalization of industries and activities. There must be strong federal regulation, but not federal ownership. We have always endeavored and still shall endeavor to find the middle ground so well defined as between ‘the anaschy of unregulated individualism and the deadening formalism of inefficient and widespread state ownership.’ We are against paternalism in government, and we arc against that form of pedagogic paternalism that has developed recently in this country. We are against autocracy as vigorously and unalterably as we are against anarchy. Bolshevism and kaiserism are equally dangerous in industry as in government. We are against both. We are the freest government on the face of the earth, and our strength rests in our patriotism. Anarchy flees before patriotism. Peace and order and. security and liberty are safe so long as enough love of country burns in the hearts of the people, but it must not be forgotten that liberty does not mean license. Liberty to make our laws does not give us a license to break them. Liberty is responsibility, and responsibility is duty an dthat duty ip to preserve the exceptional liberty which we enjoy within the law, without any temporizing or compromise whatever.”

DELPHI MAN, FACING HANGING, LEAPS TO HIS DEATH.

Rock Island, 111., June 12.—Condemned to die, Robert Cook, of Del- | phi, Ind., brother of Cleve Cook, who | was killed by Riley Mullendore in the i Indiana town several years ago, end- ] ed his life shortly before inidmght Wednesday night by leaping from the third floor of the court house had just heard the verdict of “guilty” returned by the jury, which carried with it the recommendation that he hang for murder of Cecil Nesbit, of Davenport, and Mrs. Ida Woods, proprietress of the Case of All Nations, of Rock Island. On leaving the court room in the custody of two deputy sheriffs, Cook broke away and in a headlong dive hurled himself through a third story window. When the deputies reached him he was dying, his neck having been broken by the fall. One of the deputies grabbed one of Cook’s feet as he made the fatal plunge through the window, but was unable to hang on. The murders of Nesbit and Mrs. Woods occurred in the latter’s place of business on the night of April 21.

To Miss Jane A. Parkison, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. R. A. Parkison, of this city, goes the honor of winning the first prize in the art exhibit held in Jacksonville, 111., recently, where Miss Parkison is attending the women’s college.

FIRE MARSHAL ADVISES SAFE AND SANE FOURTH.

H. H. Friedley, state fire marshal of Indiana, has sent the following letter to the mayors and police officials of the cities of Indiana, in which he asks that all the officials of the city co-operate in keeping a sane Fourth of July: To the Citizens of Indiana: - No doubt there will be a commendable tendency on the part of the American people on the coming Fourth of July to celebrate the return of America’s victorious troops from the world war. Should the celebration be . marked by the discharge of fire-works, firecrackers and other forms of explosives, or by other means? Men who have suffered two years on the battlefields of Europe, we venture to believe, will accept as more in keeping with the full meaning of the day the more quiet and peaceful form of observance. The doctrine that there is no necessary connection between patriotism and the use of fire-works and explosives has been generally accepted in late years, and as a result the destruction of life and property has greatly decreased. To the end that life may not be endangered and property destroyed by such celebrations on the approaching Fourth, the state fire marshal issues this communication calling the attention of the citizens of thia state to the rule spromulgated by that office under authority of the fire marshal law. g| Section 45 of the rules of the state fire marshal of Indiana prohibits the sale of fire-works at retail. Section 46 prohibits the use or discharge of fire-works at any point within the limits of a city or town in the state of Indiana, except at such points as may be authorized by the city or town authorities, upon recommendation of the state fire marshal.

Fire-works or other pyrotechnic displays, if not prohibited by local ordinance, may be given under municipal supervision, provided such displays are held at least one thousand feet from any building. Toy paper balloons and skyrockets are forbidden. Municipal officials are asked to cooperate with the state authorities to see that these reasonable rules and the anti-fire-works ordinances of the various cities and towns are prop* erly enforced.
