Trustee Frost Receives 0. K.'d Report

and Thanks From the State Ex

aminer of Accounts.

Abram Frost, of this city, trustee of Center township, has received the reof the field examiners, John L. Schrum and M. A. Stevens, who exmined his books several weeks ago. 'he report shows the trustee's acounts all O. K.

A clipping in this paper a few days

ed. In this it was in the trustee's of-

that a bill

fcemized and that the examiners had omplained of this. In the report reeived by Mr. Frost this mornig the bill in question is itemized, Villiam Elsbury, former trustee, havig gone to S. D. Kiger & Co., from

7hom

You Bad Better Be

the goods were purchased and nd secured the statement, which is ated Dec. 17th, 1907, Aug. 3rd, Jan. 5th and Nov. 8th, 1908.

Sore Than Sorry,

The bill of goods was purchased by [r. Elsbury, as Mr. Frost did not

Elsbury was

in the Kiger store ie close of his term rom his own funds, repay himself until Ithe office. Calling

3 him Mr. Frost reimbursed i, and of course he had no bill for goods. When the examiners re here they called called Mr. )st's attention to the account and explained the transaction and led Mr. Elsbury to the office, who turn went over the matter, going next day to Indianapolis, where got the itemized statement and turned it over to the examiners. That was all there was to the story.

In regard to- the matter of keeping paid bills Mr. Frost said it had never I been the custom. That Avhen a bill was presented and the trustee knew I it was all right it was paid, a receipt taken for the money and the bill cast aside. However, he is now keeping every bill that is paid and says he will continue to do so, if it is for only five cents if the stock of paid bills accumulates until an additional room must be secured to store them.

There never was any question of the honesty of either Mr. Elsbury's or Mr. Frost's transactions, the examiners simply desiring to impress upon the trustees the necesity of following every detail of the new method ot bookkeeping.

Accompanying the report was a letter of thanks from the State examiner for the courtesies shown the examiners by Mr. Frost.

FLIES INJURE THE CROPS.

Not Only Damage the Health but the

Products of Farms.

Much has been written and printed of late about flies as a menace to human health. But not) a word has been said about the damage they do to cultivated crops, which, in this country must amount to scores of millions of dollars annually.

Nearly all diseases of plants are due to fungi, usually microscopic. Of such character, for example, are the "smuts" of wheat and other grains, the "mildews," the "rusts," and all the long list of fruit "rots" of various kinds. These and ever so many other vegetable maladies are attributable to minute fungi which feed upon the plants.

The fungi in question are distributed in a number of ways, but commonly by flies—that is to say, by the Muscidse and Sarcophagidae, or, in other words, the house-fly and its relatives, and the carrion flies. Those insects feed on almost everything imaginable, and, constantly flitting from place to place, are the universal distributors of the "spores" (corresponding to seeds) of all kinds of fungi.

Flies are extremely fond of odors. Some that are horrible to us are most agreeable to them. They are attracted to the cane fields by the smell of fermenting sugar, and there feed on the sweet sap. Thus it comes about that spores of the fungi that cause the common diseases of the cane are found in the excreta of flies caught in the cane field. The "pineapple disease" is only one of a number which they are instrumental in distributing.

Another species of cane fungus is of large size—a kind of mushroom. One of its spores, left by a fly on the cane, is washed by rain to the ground, wherein it sprouts. Its vegetation later on produces a curious fruit, which takes the shape of a whitish ball.—From "The Housefly as a. Crop Wrecker," in May Technical World Magazine.

LIVED IN GREENFIELD OVER HALF A CENTURY

B. Lineback for Many Years a Cloth

ing Salesman Here Has Located

in Eden.

A. B. Lineback, who recently took up his residence with Mr. and Mrs. William Huey at Eden, had been a resident of Greenfield for fifty-six years. He came to Greenfield with his parents from Scott county, Kentucky, when he was only eight years old, and has resided here continuously ever since. He lived with his mother at the old Lineback homestead on East Main street, after the death of the father until her death, after which he made his home with Mr. and Mrs. James L. Mitchell, Mrs. Mitchell being his sister. The sister died a few weeks ago and he then decided to go to Eden. Mr. Lineback is well known throughout the entire county, having been connected with one of Greenfield's leading stores for more than a quarter of a century. He was a popular salesman and was well liked and has many friends. He is well pleased with his new home and says that he is surprised at how many old friends he meets each day.

SHIRLEY.

Mrs.

Clay Woods, Wilkinson's hustling insurance agent, was in Shirley Saturday looking after the insurance business.

John Philips, the Methodist pastor, who has served this pulpit for two years, was returned to this circuit again.

Marie Young, of Pendleton, spent Sunday with her aunt, Mrs. Clyde Judd.

Shirley, heretofore, has been a great baseball centre, but as yet, there has been no arrangements made for the entertainment the coming season.

J. E. Camplin has the contract to furnish thejeement foundation for the L. E. Moore residence on North Main street, which is to be built at once.

The M. E. Ladies' Aid Society will hold a reception in honor of Rev John Philips at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. Charley Gates next Tuesday night. All the members of the M. E church are invited.

Henry LaVallee is home on a visit from East St. Louis, where he has been firing ajpony engine in the East St. Louis railroad yards.

Albert Dunkle, who accepted a position as fireman with the Big Four Ry. Company, is located at Benton Harbor, Mich. He likes his work exceedingly well.

We understand that Carl Van Winkle, well known to Shirley, will return to Shirley in the near future and take charge of his duties with the Creosoting company here. He was transferred to Toledo, Ohio, where he had similar duties. A couple of months ago he moved there with the intentention of making Toledo his future home, but the Creosoting company made a change and are returning him.

The Jim Judge hardware stock was entirely closed out by auction last week. A. O. Dearing, of Centerville, was the auctioneer. He cleaned her up in a nice manner and Mr. Judge is well pleased with his work.

The frost Saturday night was disastrous to fruits, which is a great loss to those who appreciated the present outlook on fruit.

Miss Nelle Doughty, for two years employed on the Daily Reporter, is now at her home in Anderson and in the composing room of the Anderson Bulletin.

WW THE DIAMOND UBAND.

GREENFIELD REPUBLICAN, THURSDAY, APRIL 28, 1910.

S. A. Gossett, who has been

in Jennings county for some time, returned to her home in Shirley last week. She. on her return, found that her house had been broken into and ramsacked from one end to the other by some thug, who took a great many valuables.

Mrs. Dave Harry, of Shirley, had her husband arrested last week for wife desertion. The case is set for Monday. The hearing will come before Squire Garriott.

Miss Mattie Gossett returned from Jennings county last week. She has been in Jennings county for some time visiting relatives.

The vacant lots on East Main street are now for sale by the bulletin board placed on same. These are the lots belonging to Bob Martindale, which were made vacant by fire Oct. 17th, 11908. Martindale promised the citizens of Shirley that he was going to erect a fine building upon these lots just as soon as the town of Shirley was provided with water works, and now as the water works are nearly completed, the bulletin board says "These lots for sale."

PROPS OUT OF HIGH LIVING PRICES

Coming of Spring Brings Along Drop

in Food Costs, and Housekeepers

Are Happy.

Slumps in the prices of flour, potatoes, eggs, butter, live stock and grain have taken a fall out of the high prices of last December and Greenfield housekeepers can celebrate springtime by loading the dinner table as they did not dare during the winter. All vegetables will soon be flooding the local market at lower prices. Even now the truck farms are beginning to bring in early vegetables.

On the whole prices are slightly lower than they were last April, and in many instances much below the December mark. A drop of 70 cents a bushel is seen in the case of potatoes that were selling for-$1.10 a year ago. Potatoes are now selling at a lower price than in years. Many farmers are still well stocked with crops. Just a year ago it was feared that crops must be imported.

Country butter is quoted today in Greenfield at 25 cents a pound, a great decrease on the price five months ago. The early spring is responsible for good pasture and the cows do the rest. The hens are getting busy also, and have caused a decrease of 18 cents a dozen in eggs since December. Eggs are 2 cents lower than they were last April.

All grains, wheat and corn especially, have dropped from 13 to 23 cents a bushel during the last year. The best flour has dropped 60 cents a barrel since December, and although now marked at the same figure as in April, 1909, is in reality slightly cheaper because of general underselling of the market.

Meats still refuse to come down from the prices to which they have been boosted. Only the highestpriced cuts have decreased, while the great majority have increased in price, some as much as &5 per cent. "Rounds" and "plates" have risen, simply on account of the increased demand for these poorer cuts. A campaign in education as to how to cook these steaks, and praise of their nutrative value has spread all over this country. The demand for them doubled, causing the sharp rise in price.

006 MUZZLES ARE III DEMAND

Owners Not Complaining Over Order

of Mayor and Are Tying Up the

Mouths of Canines.

The canine contingent of Greenfield's population is probably at a loss to understand what it all means. The big dogs and the little dogs are receiving unusual attention from their masters just now, due to the order of the mayor that all dogs must be muzzled.

Difficulty has been encountered in getting a supply of muzzles and the harness makers have been rushed in filling orders today. Owners of dogs have taken to the order without complaining, realizing that it was made for the good of all and are muzzling the animals as rapidly as the necessary arrangements can be made. The favorite plan is to use a sort of halter that will not permit the dog to open his mouth sufficiently to bite.

BLIND MAN PLOWS HELD FOR CORN

Frank Suits, son of Nathan Suits, a farmer near this city, if totally blind and has completed breaking a fifteen acre field for corn. This is probably the first time a blind man has performed such a feat. He used a common walking breaking plow and often stopped to feel over the plowed ground to make sure of his location and whether or not he was near the place to turn.

A HUMAN IARGE1

Spawe in Rapid Succession but

Without Effeet.

Henry Spawe, about twenty years of age, was arrested Sunday at Shirley and lodged in jail by the marshal and his deputy, where he will answer to the charge of assault and battery with intent to commit murder. Night Marshal Mogul was the target for Spawe, who sent four bullets toward him from a revolver but none of them took effect, although the officer's clothing was pierced.

Night Marshal Mogul attempted to arrest Spawe for some violation of the law and went to his home to do so. No sooner had he appeared than Spawe drew a revolver from his pocket and began firing at the officer, but his aim was poor and he missed each time. Spawe is a one-armed man but used the revolver fairly well, as an inspection of the officer's coat revealed several holes where the bullets went through.

Spawe was finally arrested and taken to New Castle by the marshal and his deputy, where he was lodged in jail in default of bond to await trial Later charges of assault and battery with intent to commit murder were lodged against him.

STRICKLAND-GABLE WEDDING.

Greenfield Couple Married Wednesday Afternoon in Marion.

The Marion Chronicle has the following The wedding of Miss Grace Gable, a niece of Mr. and Mrs. Harry Gable, and Mr. Arthur Edgar Strickland, of Greenfield, which was solemnized Wednesday afternoon at 4 o'clock in the parlors of the I. O. O. F. temple, was the culmination of a college romance which began when the bride of Wednesday was a student at Indiana university and the bridegroom was attending DePauw. The nuptials were among the prettiest of the season, and were witnessed by fifty of the friends and relatives of the contracting parties. At the appointed hour Mrs. Minnie Murdoff-Kimble, at the piano, played "Larabande," by Rameau, for the wedding march, and Mrs. Nell Turpen-Lohmyer sang "Because," by D'Hardelot. The bride and groom took their places before an altar of greenery and, just preceding the impressive ring service, Mrs. Lonmyer sang the first verse of "O, Perfect Love," with Mrs. Kimball as accompaniest. Rev. Hugh T. Gary, pastor of the First Presbyterian church, officiated, and at the closing service the second verse of the wedding hymn was rendered, and Mrs. Kimball played "Autum," by Moszkowski.. The informal reception was followed by an elaborate wedding luncheon, served in the hall. The bride and groom, who were unattended, were assisted during the services and succeeding events by Mr. and Mrs. Harry Gable.

The floral setting of the wedding was very elaborate. A massive bank of palms and ferns, in the southwest corner of the spacious parlors, formed an altar before which the service was read. Large boauets of pink carnations were arranged about the altar, mantles and piano. In the dinning hall the effect was exquisite. I The bride's table was decorated in a I color scheme of pink and white. The I luncheon cloth of Mexican drawn! work was placed over a pad of pink. The centepiece was a French basket of crystal, containing a feathery mass

Louis Gable, Mr. and Mrs. W. A. Rafferty,'of Greenfield, Miss Edna Springer, Miss Nell Wimmer, Russell Strickland and Clarence Strickland, of Greenfield, and Mae Baldwin. Small tables, with covers for four, were circled about the bridal party, and at these the centerpieces were pretty reed baskets filled with masses of sweet peas and ferns. Covers were placed for forty-eight, and an elaborately appointed luncheon was served. Included in the guests was a party of twenty-four from Greenfield #Mr. and Mrs. Strickland left Wednesday night for Chicago, where they will enjoy a week's honeymoon, and returning, will make their home, in Greenfield.

Mr. and Mrs. Walter Addison, of Bonte 9, spent the day here with Mr. and Mrs. Jesse Orr.

Charged With Violating His

Parole.

Sheriff

At Muncie Turner was arrested for intoxication and placed in jail. The authorities in this city were notifie and the sheriff brought Turner before the court this morning. He was given the opportunity to explain why in his opinion his parole should not be revoked. He said he was not drunk, but that he might have heen dizzy from taking a medicine prescribed to counteract the effect of the bad water the men were compelled to drink who were working with him in a ditch. He said the prison officer had visited him on different occasions and approved his conduct and that he had reported promptly as required. Special Judge Tindall said he was inclined to believe the statement of the Muncie officers that Turner was beastly drunk and had to be carried to jail and that he would have to revoke the parole. Chauncey Duncan then suggested to the court that it might be proper to inquire further into the matter before taking such action and A. C. VanDuyn made similar remarks. The court then reconsidered and placed Turner in the custody of the sheriff for a few days until he makes mquiries and a reply from the prison officer whose duty it is to look after paroled prisoners. Turner was then taken to jail.
