MR. MAUD MULLER.

“Lefty,” strange as it may seem, borrowed a rake this Friday mottling and spent the greater part of l. the forenoon raking the large laWn in front of The Republican. i For a while we were worried, for “Lefty” acted, queeriy, and we could think of nothing but the bug house. | He would give a few drags with 1 the agricultural implement, then he would hang himself upon the handle and would have a far-away, weird look, oscillating between hilarity and utter despondency. _ __ _ After hours - of strenuous toil, possibly better, “watchful waiting,” the mystery was solved and the Gordon Players approached, to be f seen by the eager watcher as they made the right angle curve at Washington street from McKinley avenue. The dropped to terra firms and “Lefty” was last seen at the Iroquois river bridge waving a fond adieu to the “Leading Lady,” who was departing for Remington, where she win delight the people with her perfect acting as the leader of the famous Gordon Players. “Lefty” is begging for a vacation, pleading the oppressiveness of the weather and his exhaustion due to long continued high nerve tension.

FRANKLIN COMPANY FOLLOWS AUTO KING’S LEAD

t'rom the automobile industry Thursday came the announcement that the H. H. Franklin Manufacturing company of Syracuse, N. Y., is reducing prices on its cars 17 to--21 per cent. President Franklin announces the reduction to a statement praising the action of the Ford Motor Company in cutting prices and agreeing with Henry Fora that such action is the only practical way of getting the industry- back to a normal basis* ’ There were also more rumors that a number of other motor car companies will make similar announcements soon. Mr. Franklin declared lower prices are necessary to stimulate busi-< ness - and prevent unemployment, which is on the increase. But he< stated that wages will not be reduced. Operating at capacity, the Franklin plant employs more than 5,000 persons, but within recent weeks 2)400 employes have been released. Wholesale reductions in other lines of industry are also announced in this morning’s city dailies. In Chicago Sears, Roebuck & Co., Montgomery, Ward & Co., and P ler Brothers have announced reductions, covering a big range of goods handled and run from Ift. to 40 per cent;. • A ± ■ There is also-a tendency toward reductions among the big steel corporations. -

STEFCO GOES TO MICHIGAN CITY

Ideal Location and Facilities for Now Flant. .". ' • • Michigan City has been decided upon as the site of the.new factory and general offices of the Steel Fabricating Corporation. Modem industry must be organized somewhat along the lines of an army. Fundamentally its base of supplies must be fully protected. It was for this reason chiefly that Michigan City was selected.,. In these times of poor and uncertain transportation facilities the location of a manufacturing plant fundamentally depends upon its ability to safeguard its raw material supply. The Steel Farbrication Corporation depends upon steel mills for its raw materials. In selecting Michigan City, raw materials are safeguarded as far as it is possible so to do. . ' This city has ample steam railroad facilities, being on the main line of the Michigan Central Railroad from Chicago to the East, main line pf the Pere Marquette Railroad, main line of the Lake Erie & Western Railroad and the Monon. Also .two interurban electric lines, and boat service oir the Great Lakes. J In addition to this, Michigan City is within trucking distance of the mills at Gary, Indiana Harbor, etc. Primarily, therefore, the raw material sources from which the STEFCO product is made are absolutely safe-guarded against interruption to deliveries. Another consideration in favor of Michigan City is its close proximity to Chicago, being 1 % hours ride by train, and at the same time being far enough removed to not feel the influence of the labor troubles common to the Chicago district The site of the new plant, com prising 37 acres, is located on the eastern edge of Michigan City, just outside the line and consequently paying county taxes instead of city.' The South Shore Electric lane runs past the site on the north side and insures steel deliveries _ over night from the Chicago district m case e femergency. The Lake Erie & Western Railroad rune past the site on the south side, insuring ample steam road switching facilities. In case both these arteries of transportation fall down, our Aw materials can be secured by boat, and should emergency arise we can truck purr steel from the Chicago district. . . - Michigan City and, in fact, the score dr so of Indiana cities considered, afforded us every courtesy, and solicitation as to our wants. Michigan City was filially decided upon as being ideally adapted to our needs. Labor is ample and the city has agreed to immediately provide, housing facilities for the Steel Fabricating Corporation employes who, with their families, will remove from the Chicago Heights and Harvey (Illinois) plants. Sev-enty-five houses will be built immediately and additional housing facilities will be provided as needed. The new factory plant will at once occupy about four acres of the site. The main building wgl contain something like 150,000 square feet of floor space and the

storage buildings for our raw materials wil Icontain an additional 50,000 square feet' The factory is so designed and laid out that additional units may be added from time to time. . Jt is hoped we can have th* plant ready for occupancy by the first of the year. When completed, the Steel Fabricating Corporation., will have the best and most modem factory in the world for the manufacture of ready-built steel buildings. When this half-million-dollar, plant ip completed it will be the finest manufacturing plant of its kind and one of the banner plants of the Dollings industries. The product of the Steel Fabricating Corporation is sold throughout the world and with the advantage made possible by the refinancing of this company by the Dollings Company, the management expects within five years to make the Steel Fabricating Corporation the biggest concern of its kind in the world. > We expect to sell and deliver the first year from this new factory three million dollars’ worth of STEFCO Ready-Built Steel BuiMthis connection, and as a message to the Indiana organization and for the people, of Indiana, it might, be stated the the new plant will be erected by Indiana contractors, David Eshelman & Sons, of Anderson. The steel work will be supplied by the Indiana Bridge Company of Muncie, and the brick work by the Risely Brick Company of Michigan City, so that stnotly speaking the Steel Fabricating Corporation will be an Indiana product from its head to its heels. This wise selection of a building site will surely boost our STEFCO Let’s swamp the mail with STEFCO orders.

HAND INJURED WHEN REVOLVER IS DISCHARGED

While playing with a 22-calibre revolver Thursday evening Emmet Eger, sdn of Mr. and Mrs. Cleve Eger of College avenue, suffered a bullet wound in the right hand and a very slight flesh wound in the side when the revolver was accidentally discharged while he was attempting to lower the hammer. The revolver was the property of R. D. Thompson, whose daughter, Ruth, had found -it and also some cartridges. In company with Emmet she went to a vacant lot at the .rear of her home and loaded the revolver. After firing one shot into the air she turned the gun over to Emmet, who decided that it was too dangerous a plaything for children. The gun was cocked and he decided to lower the hammer and return it to the place where Ruth [ had found it. He held it against j his stomach that he might get a firmer grip on she hammer when his finger slipped and the piece was discharged.. His wounds are not of serious nature and it is thought he -will be as good as ever within a day or so.

J. Blaine Gwin, son of Mr. and Mrs. Jesse C. Gwin of North College avenue, will tour Old' Mexico and will get the data for a series of articles on sociological conditions in Mexico. - .

He was a very high class athlete and won renown- upon the local field with the high school and later with -the famous city team, which won 100 per cent of its games. ■ . He has made a very thorough study of sociological problems in universities and in many cities in the east as well -as .west and is quoted as authority in this field. He is a thorough student, a.

To the reading and thinking man no confirmation of the fact that forces are at work having for their intention the destruction of the United States Government.
