ONE WOMAN TO ANOTHER
A petticoat with the beauty of a gay novelty silk and the practicality of gingham was the discovery I made at Ay res's the other day. Hydegrade, the saleswoman called these petticoats, designed especially for summer wear. There were black and white striped ones, tan and white and blue and white. Flounces were accordian plaited, a novelty in wash petticoats. Trimmings were plain bands of contrasting color. I was told these petticoats would wash, bat I'm sure they'd not require it often as the material is of a kind that will neither muss nor soil easily. They were only a dollar.

There is no question but that people can be brought to Greenfield to trade. That was clearly demonstrated at the big Mill End Sale of the Spot Cash Co-operative Store today. We are glad to see it, and we wish that every other business firm in Greenfield would make a special of fort to bring people to Greenfield to trade with them. The time has come when business in a profitable quantity will not simply drift into stores. It must be attracted and pulled in. If Greenfield does not get it, it will go some other place. Let Greenfield merchants go after the trade. Trade must be sought, it no longer drifts. Every person who attended the Mill End sale today has gone out with an advertisement on thair tongue.
,It is said that railroads have begun
a
campaign of education in support of

higher freight rates. The trouble with railroads is that they have lost the confidence of the people, and it will be a difficult task. The people have been fooled so often that they do not believe the representations made by the railroad companies.
THE "LIST SPOT HIS BEEN DRIVEN
Traction Company's Car Shops in This
City Completed Are Models of
Completeness and Convenience.
The contractor who has just completed the enlarged building for the car shops of the Eastern division of the T. H., I. & E., in this city, is loading his tools for removal. The shops are now ready for the installation of the machinery, which is expected to arrive soon. When the machines are in place the plant will be one of the completest small car shops in the State, modern and up-to-date in every respect. The building has been very much increased in size, being much larger and wider. In the shop department of the building there is space for four of the largest cars over the pits. The tracks extend from the large front room into the machinery shop, where a large crane will be installed, which will carry any of the largest car trucks to any part of the machinery room. Back of the machine shops and between them and the store room is the office of the!
master mechanic and the toilet rooms. In the rear of the building a large platform will be constructed for the unloading of supplies for the store room.
The car barns and the shops are ssparated by a solid wall with the ex-
ception of a small fire proof door. The barn will store twelve of the largest cars has been taken to protect t^e property from fire. The building and the dispatcher's office are to be heated by steam. A ninety-horse power boiler for the heating plant has been installed and will be the only part of the building in which there will be fire. A coal bin which will hold six carloads of hard coal will provide storage room for the anthracite coal to be used in heating the cars. There is more than 600 feet of storage track 011 the car barn lot.
One of the most impressive features of the improvement is the great care taken against fire. Mr. Warner, the superintendent of the division, who showed the representative of this paper through the building, and who is justly proud of the improvement, is thoroughly familiar with
constructed against damage by fire! ., 'a,
The Company is not only improving and enlarging its barns and shops, but it is adding to its cars. Car No. 75 has been completely rebuilt and is a model of perfection and comfort. Five other cars of similar pattern will be put into use before fall. The Eastern division of the T. H., I. & E. never was in better shape to take care of its business. The people of Greenfield are pleased with the substantial work, which adds very matterially to her improvements.

EXPENSE OF GHK OF VENUE TRIALS
Marion County's Bill is Nearly $2,000
for Cases Originating There
and Tried Here.
In the office of the clerk of the circuit court Mr. Wood has completed the lists of claims to be presented to other counties on account of change of venue cases. When a cause comes here for trial from another county all the expenses are paid through the clerk the same as local cases. Then these expenses are charged to the county where the case originated. The items always jury expense, per sheriff, court bailiff, cial reporter.
By far the larger number of change of venue cases here is from Marion county. The claims to be presented are as follows:

Keep your hens from straying over
on the land of your neighbor. Be par-
Give the houses a good cleaning, and plow or spade up the yards. Dirty houses breed vermin, and polluted soils are incubators for the gape worm.
Give the turkey hen and her brood a coop large enough for the mother to move about and stand erect in, and .you won't be so apt to have bad luck.
Guinea fowls will now be laying, and a watch must be kept on their nests, as it is their nature to hide them. The eggs had better be hatched by hens.
It's annoying, perhaps, just about supper time, to have to stop to wash dirty eggs when the hen breaks one, but this is a task that must not be put off until tomorrow.
If fowls must run at large or range over a farm, by all means keep one
ilarned women will not be ad- breed, and give them all the time, knowledge and attention possible. You will have something of which you may be proud, and that will profit you financially as well.
Because hens are out on the land now do not therefore think they do
not
need shells and such things. They may not be able to find a bit of that all their travels. A shortage here is apt to mean a shortage in eggs with good shells on them.
When hens begin to lay soft-shelled
eggs
it is time to ask yourself, "Where
am I failing to give them the food they need??' Don't be satisfied until you can answer that question. Almost always it is due to a lack of shell-making material.
Wheat bran, crushed egg-shell, cut bone, broken mortar and oystershells are fine for making eggs with good solid shells.

High Tension Failing Causes Fire and
Creates Excitement Along Grant
Street.
Excitement unalloyed prevailed early Saturday morning among the residents along Grant street caused by a *2300 volt wire from the electric light plant breaking and falling on a 104 volt wire and coming in contact with the telephone wires. The result was a pyrotechnical display that to the beholders was more alarming than it was attractive.
The homes of C. E. Hivnor, George Justus, John Rosser, James Fry, W. D. Getman, W. P. Johnson, John Rhue and others were slightly damaged by fire resulting from the electricity. The floor in the residence of George Justus was burned through in several places and linoleum in the kitchen ruined.
To add to the troubles a natural gas
$ 133.90 pipe sprung a leak and caused ablaze 44.25 that terrorized the neighborhood. The 34.50 flre department was promptly on the 34.25 scene, but some of the people, not ac37.50 quainted with the tricks of electricity and water, scolded the firemen un-
S0.00 mercifully because they did not at 42.70 once throw streams of water on the blaze. In one of the basements where a smart little blaze was growing, one of the firemen did dash a bucket of water. The shock he received in forming the circuit was so severe that he was thrown several feet and the 13.50 result so alarming that he did not re195.70 peat the operation. 344.45 Many laughable incidents are told

"I just couldn't find
wearer. ''I just coulcin ilncl anything to put on," one lady remarked. Councilman John Rosser'ss experience was an example of the unsettled condition of the neighborhood. A party, arranging to leave on a trip over the Pennsylvania, had talked to him I early in the evening regarding sleep-ing-car rates, and had said he would call him by phone later. Mr. Rosser set his aiarm clock and retired, to be awakened by a constant ringing.
Knowing it was not "getting-up" time, he remarked to Mrs. Rosser, I "What the is the matter with that clock," and arose to investigate and I discovered it was the 'telephone bell.
Instantly he concluded it was his man who desired the sleeping car accommodations and took the receiver from the hook. And such a shock and noise! The room was dark and that he might have some light on the strange proceeding, he touched the electric light switch. Just then he concluded he was electrocuted, butrecovered as he heard the rattle of the fire department wagons at his front door. In the dark he finally located his trousers, but one of the legs was "wrong side out" and he had an awful time to get inside of them. His sox he didn't find until daylight. This is only one of many experiences.
The trouble was caused by shade trees, the wires passing through them becoming entangled in the branches until they touched and burned in two.
Careless electric wiring is to the surface in a case of this kind. Gas pipes were burned in every instance where the electric wires were wrapped around them. This caused the gas to escape and the fires resulted.
CUMBERLAND
Only Two Years Old But Has Had
Remarkable Success and Many
New Depositors
The second annual meeting of the stockholders of the Cumberland Bank was held Monday in the director's room of the bank. About 'fourteen stockholders were present when Presieent Huntington, of the bank, called the meeting to order. The big surprise to the stockholders came when Cashier W. E. Morris announced that the deposits of the bank had reached the $100,000 mark and the profits and surplus were over |3,000.
It is one of the most remarkable bank showings ever made in this section when the surroundings are taken into consideration. Cumberland is about ten miles each way from Indianapolis and Greenfield where the people of that section have always, done their banking business till this bank was opened two years ago. It hai its own building, and with a capital stock of $15,000 has deposits of nearly $100,000.

Among the guests there will be manymen distinguished in politics, finance and the industrial arts.
Fewer Prisoners.
New Castle Times: Sheriff Kirk is of the opinion that there are less drunks in a town without saloons than in one with them, and points to the present population of the jail as evidence. There are only two prisoners in jail now, and if no arrests are made today, there will be only one tomorrow.
