Hancock County Young Man Whose

Services Are in Big Demand

in the South.

The following is from the Jacksonville Metropolis and the Mr. Jackson referred to is a son of Oharles A. Jackson, of Jackson township. He ia a Purdue graduate and went south at the time of graduation for the benefit of his health, which was failing at that time: "The work of making Jacksonville a fireproof city—that is, oue in which many of its buildings, from two-room cottages to twenty-story hotels, will be entirely of concrete—will soon be started. "The Duval-Schub Concrete Construction Company of this city, of which James N. Coons is president, has secured the services of V. C. Jackson, one of the best known and most experienced concrete engineers in the country. Mr. Jackson was in the employ of the United States government for many years as one of its concrete engineers. So valuable were Mr. Jackson's services that he was oftentimes called upon by the government to make long trips to various parts of the country to inspect concrete construction. On one occasion a new form of construction was tried in a far western city. Three days later Mr. Jackson was ordered by the government to go to that city to make a thorough investigation of the new system and report. "Mr. Jackson was later one of the engineers working on the East Coast Railway extension to Key West. It was under his surpervision that many of the great big concrete caissons were laid. He has had a world of experience in concrete, and for a young man is-regarded as being particularly expert in his line. "He became interested in the DuvalSchub Concrete Construction Company only after an investigation of the methods to be used by the new •ompany. He believes that by means of the new mental mold system to be used by the company, houses of any size or architecture can be constructed of re-inforced concrete for less than other concrete structures, for less than brick buildings, and for atleast no more than well built from houses can be put up."

BAIDHEADED BOW

Early Piety Not Always the Cause of Baldness

In Paris there lived a groat physi cian of world wide reknown who proved to the world that falling hair is caused by microbes.

Dr. Sagerbund proved that baldness is directly do to these pernicious and persistent microbes. He proved to every physician on earth that these invisible yet vociferous little devils dug and burrowed into the hair root and finalls devoured the hair bulb. This of course destroyed the vitality of the hair which fell out and caused nhinning of the hair and finally baldness.

Inasmuch as it is an accepted fact that baldness, falling hair and dandruff are caused by a germ, doesn't it it stand to reason that that the only way to prevent such calamities is to kill the germs?

And doesn't it stand to reason that the only way to kill these germs is to Parisian Sage, which V. L. Early has so much faith in that he guarantees it to cure dandruff, falling hair and itching scalp in two weeks, or money back?

Parisian Sage is a delightful hair tonic and is pleasant to use. It is not sticky or greasy, and contains only those ingredients that will surely benefit.

It is now sold all over America, and by V. L. Early for 50 cents a large bottle. It is used extensively by women who desire luxuriant hair with a radiant luster. The girl with the Auburn hair on every package.

New Suggestion That Is Taken Up at

Once and Sides Chosen for a

Contest.

The Bible School of the Christian church Sunday decided to enter upon a contest to increase the attendance of the school and enhance the interest in the study of the Bible.

The entire school Sunday was divided into two camps under the command of Olive Hufford and Chas. Mulvihill. Sides were chosen as in the old fashioned spelling match and the contestants were supplied with slipcards. Miss Hufford's forces chose blue for their color and Mr. Mulvibill's chose red. The losers will entertain the winners at the close of the contest, which will continue four weeks beginning Sept. 4.

The victors in the contest will be determined by the points scored. Each new student, if a regular attendant, will count ten points, home department students will score five points and cradle roll members will count three points. Five points will be allowed for each Sunday's attendance,

The cards when signed are to be turned over to their respective captains as soon as possible by the contestants. Additional cards may be obtained at the following places: Red, of Charles Mulvihill, at the Star Store, and of Ora Myers at the Mayor's office: Blue may be secured of Olive Hufford, at Barnes' Jewelry Store or of J. M. Hufford at his office.

Every effort will be made to organhue an efficient teaching force to accommodate the increase in attendance. Special music will be provided and every thing porsible done to welcome the new students at 9:30 next Sunday morning.

One contestant has already secured 33 new students and some others have done almost as well. The contest at this stage promises to be as spirited as any conducted here for some time.

Will of Joseph Binford.

The willlof Joseph O. Binford has been recorded in this county, after being probated in Henry county. It was made July 14, 1902.

The rents and profits of the home farm in Blueriver township is given to the widow and at her death the real estate to be divided equally among their children.

To the widow is also given all the personal property and all other real estate except 75 acres in Center township, which is to be subject to sale withont any process of law in the event of a sale thereof becomes necessary to give each of the children $1,000, who have not received said amount chargeable to them as an advancement.

The widow is named as executrix.

Buys the Snsder Farm.

Charles A. Crider has closed up a deal by which Lee C. Thayer purchased the 200 acre farm in Vernon township, of Ora Snider. The land lies miles southeast of Fortvil'le, and eight miles northwest of Greenfield. It has two sets of good buildings. The consideration in the deal was $25,000.

Mr. Thayer will begin with a large force of men to completely renovate the buildings and fences of the farm. He proposes to make it one of the finest farms in Hancock county. No land owner in the county takes greater pride in beautifying a farm than Mr. Thayer, and every piece of laud he has ever owned attracted special attention by its improvements.

Danger From Frost.

The prospects for a good corn crop are fine if the frost only holds off. The corn is about ten days late and very green. Should heavy frost occur early, it will result in quite a great deal of unmatured and soft corn like there was two years ago. The few cool nights last week alarmed the corn growers. There was light frost in some of the lowlands Friday and Saturday nights. A heavy frost at this time woyld result in great loss to the farmers in their corn crop.

The tomato crop is also late, and is at the stage just now that a heavy frost would mean only about a half crop.

PLAN 10 BOOS! RESULTING IN ft FALLING OUT

^GREENFIELD REPUBLICAN, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 1, 1910.

Of The Rig When Hay Wagon Refused

To Turn Aside—Nobody Hurt And

Damages Paid.

An exciting drive was participated in by Messers. Royal Purcell, Jr., of this city, Charles Cocoran of New York and Misses Nora Cocoran, of Greenfield and Alma Moenkhaus, of Huntington, Ind., Friday morning at Bloomiagton, Ind. The young ladies were Kappas attending their national convention at that place and the young geats had gone to Bloomington to attend the convention dance which was given Thursday evening. A drive was planned and everything went as merry as any old drive could be until the party was returning to Bloomington. They attempted to pass a hay wagon which occupied the middle of the road and continued to do so. In turning aside the angle of declination of the carriage became too great and the line of center fell without the base of the entire mass, causing unstable equilibrium. This caused a falling out and the occupants were spilled into the ditch. Young Purcell was rudely precipitated against a barbed wire fence causing slight cuts about the hands. Otherwise the party was uninjured.

Seven dollars and costs amounting to $9.00 was paid to the liverymen. Fraternity brothers came to the rescue and R. E. returned home Friday evening.—Vincennes Sun.

Tells you the kidneys need help— For backache is really kidney-ache. A kidney cure is what you need. Doan's Kidney Pills cure sick kidneys,

Cure backache and urinary ills. Greenfield people recommend the remedy.

Mrs. M. L. Newhouse, 609 N. State Street, Greenfield, Ind., says: "I have the utmost confidence in Doan's Kidney Pills, having used them with perfect satisfaction. I was subject to attacks of kidney complaint for five or six years and recently my condition became worse. My back was lame and ached a great deal and I had other difficulties which proved that my kidneys were at fault. On a neighbor's advice, I procured a supply of Doan's Kidney Pills at Quigley's Drug Store and they proved so beneficial from the first that I continued taking them. The contents of four boxes entirely relieved the pain in my back and restored my kidneys to a normal condition. I know that Doan's Kidney Pills are an effective kidney medieine and Him therefore pleased to recommend them."

ENJOYS VISIT TO HER BIRTHPLACE

Greenfield Woman Journeys to Child

hood Home and Drinks From the

Old Spring in the Hill.

Mr. and Mrs. Oak Morrison made another long automobile trip Sunday. This time they did not get lost. They went from this city to Morristown, Rushville, Milroy, Greensburg, Shelbyville, Fountaintown and home. They visited Mrs. Morrison's childhood home in Rush county, and she drank from the spring in the side hill about which years ago she and her sisters and brothers left the imprint of little bare feet. The twentyeight years since she had visited the old home have taken away most all things familiar. The house that was then their home is now serving as a storage for implements on the farm and is crumbling into decay, for it was old in those-days. Mrs. Morrison brought home with her a part of one of the stones that served as a foundation for the house of her birth, secured an apple from the old tree near the kitchen door and plucked an ear of corn from its neighboring field. There was scarcely a person in the neighborhood that remembered her family. The owners of the farms have retired and located in the cities and the tenants are all new people. They made the round trip without a mishap, but this moruing when the little Hupmobile started on a little trip in town one of the inner tires went completely to pieces.

Threshers' Jubilee.

The farmers of Sugar Creek township, who compose the "Threshers' Run" where the Henry and Charles Ostermeier threshing outfit does its largest season's work, had their annual jubilee at the home of Mr. and Mrs. John Hittle, east of New Palestine, Tuesday evening, Aug. 16, 1910.

There were eighty-two present from the organization, including the families, viz: Henry Ostermeier and family, Henry Kneirihm and wife, P. F. Parish and family, J. P. Bardomer and family, Edgar Scott, E. O. Brandenberg and family, Charles Bush and family, Lawrence String and family, V. R. Snodgrass and family, Ralph Logan and family, R. A. Briles and family, Emery Smith and family, Noah Chappell and family, Wm. Brandenberg and family, Joseph Ashcraft family, Roscoe Carlton and family, Fred Schilling and family, Christian Schilling and family, B. G. Faut and family, W. E. Faut and wife, Otto Campbell and wife, W. A. Gunn and family and C. M. Jackson and family. Besides these there were thirty-six visitors and friends, viz: C. W. Shellhouse and wife, Theodore Bush and family, Ralph and Esther Rusehaupt, Luther Richman, Letha Fralich, Herbert Fraiich, Myrtle Smith, Holmes, Frank Chappel, John Faut, Charles Boring, Ora Borden and wife, Lou Welborn and wife, Elizabeth Fritts, Guy Westlake and family, Mrs. T. J. Sedwick and children, and Rev. Collier and family.

A most enjoyable evening was spent in a social way. The children and young folks played games. An abundance of ice cream and cake of the finest was bountifully served. In fact everyone was urged to eat all they conld. The farmers arranged their threshing accounts, and all departed feeling that a profitable evening had been spent.

Rev. R. 0. Rogers Returns Home. The Rev. Robert O, Rogers, who has been in Oklahoma the last two months engaged in evangelistic work, arrived home this week, having recently closed a very successful meeting at Blair, where forty-two persons were added to the Central Christian church in less than two weeks and the Bible School increased from an attendance of 16 to 325 in a ten days contest. Good audiences heard every sermon and some people who had never taken any interest whatsoever in any meeting did not miss a service, and some of the same class became obedient to the faith.

Mr. Rogers was a guest at the home of a wealthy farmer, and a man who had always been a skeptic. This man and the minister were out alone among the farm stock where there was a large tank of water when the farmer suddenly stopped and surprfsed Mr. Rogess by saying: "I think I will accept the truth now and follow the example of the eunich and be baqtized right here and now. This was done and the farmer is the most euthusiastic merger of the church.

It is said by competent judges that Mr. Rogers has the best plan .for building the Bible School that has ever been devised. At Altus, Okla., his plan increased '.the Sunday school ijrom 34 to 592, and at Blair, as noted above 16 to 325 in two weeks. In the meeting at Altus 84 members were added to the church.

GREAT SHOW OF STOCK

Rich Quality of Beef and Dairy Cattle at State Fair.

Both visitors and exhibitors -will when they get to the Indiana State Fair the week of Sept. 12, find that the exposition has undergone a general improvement and that the quality of the livestock ia higher than ever. Th.s has been brought about by a thorough revision of the premium list in which some classes were eliminated and the premiums on those retained increased. In the livestock classes the prizes have been marked up to a total of $34,340, divided as follows: Show horses, $14.875 beef cattle, $9,744 dairy cattle. $3,785 sheep, $3,627 swine. $2,01."). The .sum of $2,465 is offered in the Hereford cattle classes. $2,319 on Shorthorns, $1,534 on Polled Durhams. and $2,534 on Aberdeen Angus.

In the beef cattle classes there are many special prizes offered by breeders' associations, and silver cups are offered by individuals, in addition to the premiums given by the State Board of Agriculture. The beef cattle will compete for prizes each day in the coliseum. Tlie grand championship in the beef classes will be awarded on Thursday, and there is always sharp competition for this, one of the highest honors to be won at the fair. Another that will be as spirited will be for pure-bred heifers, the trophy offered being a handsome silver cup.

The show of dairy cattle always has its crowds of admirers. A feature of the dairy division will be a forty-eight-hour dairy rest for registered Jersey cows, the contest to be under the supervision of Purdue University. The milking is to be done on the fair grounds, where the milk will also be tested. The prizes have been contributed by the American and Indiana Jersey Cattle Clubs and by Indiana individuals. and the total for the milking test is $450.

CHILDREN'S BIG DAY

Fine Features for Them at Indiana State Fair.

The school children of Indiana between the ages of sev^n and twelve years are to receive unusual consideration at the coming State Fair. As in other years, they will, on Tuesday, Sept. 13. be admitted to the big exposition without charge and they will have free run of the grounds and all it contains. The fair management has always held out extra inducements to the youngsters to attend, and has found that the boys and girls who on yesterday tasted of the exposition's enjoyment, are today and tomorrow the adult patrons of the enterprise. Children find every part of the fair and aii of its popular features of entertainment strongly to thei/ liking and it is common on their special day for 20,000 or more of them to see the exposition, and there is little that escapes their eager eyes.

The big show for children at the coming fair will be given in the coliseum. It will be a pony show—the richest of its kind the fair has ever offered its juvenile friends. Arrangements for the pony show began months ago. There will be scores of these animals in the arena—every pony bred in the purple. They will be hitched to 'carts and other vehicles, and some will be under saddle when they contest for prize ribbons.

Also to the liking of the children will be the special programs given by 100 ponies belonging to different, breeders who have agreed to send their choicest Shetlands to the fair and will unite their herds f6r the special program. It will open with a parade and will include all sorts of "wild west" and trick riding and Ben Hur chariot races. Children who trained the ponies will put the animals through their tricks and paces at the fair, and broncho busting, high school and other fancy gaits will be particularly pleasing to the children.

Experts as State Fair Judges. In the earlier years ot the Indiana State Fair a common method of obtaining judges was to pick them up asthey could be found at the exposition but at the coming fair a well-organized force of judges will tie the ribbons on the prize winners. The list is made up of men who are widely known as experts in their special lines. The judge of draft, horses will be Prof. W. L. Carlyle of Moscow. Idaho coach M. A. McDonald. V.'est Lebanon.

Wis,, regarded a.one of the most competent starters iu the country. The great, quantity of exhibits will give the judges a busy week.

If you had inquired into Jimmy Redd's occupation, shown curiosity aa to his means of support, his acquaintances would have informed you that he was just "one of the boys

He was not of the type known as a "peakyblinder," who wears a peaked cap and a lovelock. He wore a cap, usually a collar, sometimes a clean one, was not uncivil, and had cleat blue eyes and a ready smile, but was not endowed with a sufficient capa city for sustained effort to become grocer's "young man" or to enter in to any of the situations open to people of liis social stratum.

He made a small book on the racea took a genial interest in prize fights and dog races.

If it had not been for the inevitable woman, Jimmy might now be a rich man and a distinguished member of the underworld.

Jimmy.had made what he termed a "killing'' on the races. Hi- bought new clothes of fairly good taste, and blessed as he was with square shoulders and a pleasant eye, found favor among the opposite sex.

Jimmy coughed loudly as he passed by Clara, and motioned to her to fol low him. When they- both got out of the crowd, he turned to her. "Old Beedle was keeping an eye on you. You don't want him to get you again, do you?"

Clara laughed. ":Vo, I was not out on the 'prowl/' Jimmy, but anyhow you were just the boy I wished to see."

They drank together, and Clara set. about ensnaring Jimmy, whom shu loved in her own wolfish manner, Jimmy, finding that a good-lookingt. well dressed woman was disposed to be more than kind to him, did as mos£ men would do, and made love.

But he grew tired of Clara, tired of her friends. He had see the little girl of the tobacco shop, and he did not want to be "one of the boys" any longer. Clara noticed this, and started to make a scene. Jimmy slapped her, and this made her love him all the more. He could hardly keep up th:-} pretense, and "Bud" Hicks, who wanted Clara himself, whispered something into her ear that made her steel blue eyes narrow with rage.

Henceforth she kept Watch on Mas ter Jimmy, and paid Leicester Square newsboys to report concerning his movements.

Jimmy wanted to marry the little girl of the tobacco shop, but in order to marry a man needs money, not the few pounds Jimmy had, but enough to buy furniture and pay rent in advance at least, so thought Jimmy. One last "coup'"—a big one—must be made. Pala had told him of some jewelry that would be easy to "get." There was a certain house in a very respectable suburb. Jn this house two maiden ladies received paying guests. The ladies owned the jewelry. In spite of their taking boarders they were rather unworldly dames In this house Jimmv took a room. There was only one other boarder, a retired civil servant. "Bud" Hicks told Clara about this, and also why Jimmy wanted the money, and Clara wrote one of those unsigned notes in pencil which the police receive quite often. She sent this note to Scotland Yard.

Jimmy arrived at the house in the morning, wearing a false mustache and American clothes.

In the afternoon he took the jewelry. "Too easy to be true,'' he said to liiinseif as he boarded a train for the city.

He arrived at Flatten Garden, and was about to enter Pala's office when a heavy hand came down on his shoulder.

He was arrested. "Acting upon inlormauon received," a local sleuth had warned the maiden, ladies in the afternoon, and they found that their jewelrv had vanished. But Jimmv was shadowed, and so caught "with the goods on." The sentence he received started him on the bad road, and now he spends most of his time in prison, for the police

"ONE OF THE BOYS."

It should be understood that Jimmy, was not an habitual criminal, did not glory in his exploits, and pine for the underworld. He would have beeu entirely willing to become a respectable member of society, but he need ed money to purchase the cigarettes and beer of daily life.

The inevitable woman wa a very nice little girl, who served customer.! in the paternal tobacco shon. Xot a flippant young miss, but rather timid, with a neat figure, inclined to plumpness, and with a face immensely k'ssable.

If she had been the only *\oman :o. the case, Jimmy might have turned respectable, but she was not. hence all the trouble,

Among Jimmy's friends was Clara— "English Clara," as she was knowa to the "mob," to distinguish her from another woman thief, who was aa American.

Clara dressed well, was distinctly pretty, except for a hardness of ey^, which is a hall mark for the thief. Also she had educated herself, and hec fond ambition was to speak and act like a woman of culture.

Jimmy was walking down Coventry street one Saturday afternoon, wheu he noticed Clara and immediately be hind her a benevolent, middle-aged gentleman, whom one would hav imagined to be a student of old books. It was, however, none other than Detective-Sergeant Beed!e.

"or

know him so well.''and he really is not an expert thief. The little girl mourns lier Jimmy" 7as dead. She nev«r knew the truth, -'1 for Jimmy had virtues, and if he had had, shall' we say, more luck, would have made a very decent member of society.
