Or AUTHOR'S LIFE

City Librarian, Mrs. Poulson, Gave

Splendid Talk at School Chapel

Hour.

At the chapel hour in the high school Friday morning, Mrs. Poulson, city librarian, gave a most interesting talk on Julia Ward Howe, whose death occurred a few days ago. The high school sang the "Battle Hymn of the Republic," of which Mrs. Howe is the author. Mrs. Poulson told of the setting for the writing of this hymn, by giving a brief history of the civil war. How the children visited the fathers and brothers at the Camp Morton and had a good time until the soldiers went to the South, where the gardens and fields were devastated.

Mrs. Poulson, in her review, showed how every war has its song writer and Mrs. Howe was the one to write the oivil war song or "Battle Hymn of the Republic."

Mrs. Howe was awakened one night and arose and wrote the song and then went back to sleep.

Mrs. Poulson told of the excellent character of Mrs. Howe and her great work, especially in behalf of woman suffrage. She was interested in all good work of a public or private character and was a great student of music, and a great home maker. The talk of Mrs. Poulson was certainly one of the very best ever given in the high school and the students are very grateful to her.

POOR SPELLERS III BIG TOWN SCHOOLS

An examination in spelling on twenty- live commonly used words which was given at. Skortriage high school, Indianapolis, to 1,248 pupils resulted in an average grade for the entire school of but 75 per cent. Out of the 1,248 students, representing the four classes of the school, only twentyseven perfect grades were made. The following is a list of the perfect grades made by the classes: Freshmen 2, sophomores 9, juniors 13, and seniors 3. Only a fifth of the words on the freshmen's papers -were spelled correctly.

The list of words used in examination follows: Separate, receive, analyst, believe, February, judgment government, Manila, privilege, parallel, proceed, prejudice, legible, license, isosles, benefited rescendent, divisible, reverend, participate Philippines, and rigid. All of the classes experienced difficulty in spelline the word "Manila" and the word ""Philippines," while "benefited was misspelled more than any word in the entire list.

ARE KEEPING STILL.

One of the noticeable thiugs'in connection with the present campaign is the fact that practically no pictures of candidates for office are in evidence in the business houses or in the windows of private homes. In former years this was a very common pracand it would have been the rule to see pictures of Kern, Beveridge, Barnard and Gray displayed in great profusion, but not so this year and probably never again. The great American public is getting to the political point where it keeps largely sentiments and manifests them chiefly at the ballot box.

Voters should not get excited this year. They should inform themselves on questions of the day and do some thinking for themselves. The man who reads and thinks can reach his own conclusions as to how he ought to vote.

EGGS MAY GO TO 50 GENTS A DOZ.

This Price May Prevail By Time Holi

days Arrive- Going up Now

Rapidly.

Eggs were retailing at 28 cents a dozen Saturday and if the advance continues as it has recently, Greenfield consumers will be paying as high as 50 cents per dozen by the holidays is the general opinion.

Eggs are very scarce and dealers find it very difficult to get a sufficient supply for their customers. As a usual thing, eggs are more plentiful at this time of year and the price does not advance much until nearly Christmas

Plans have been laid by members of the poultry husbandry department of Purdue University to compell the farmer or other persons who sell bad eggs to the retailer, to stand the loss of such eggs. In a conference held at ndianapolis it was decided that a meeting of all the egg buyers of the state should be called for the second week in November, when resolutions will be presented providing for purchasing eggs by the "loss of" method.

The method provides that the purchaser shall lose all bad eggs offered. Under the present plan the buyer suffers the loss.

Proud of Their Game.

Farmers are growing more jealous of the wild game on their farms each year. It is no longer so much fear of damage to their stock, as it has become a conviction that game on their farms are there properly, and that no man has a right to hunt on their farm. They used to feel that it was small to deny a hunter the right to shoot wild game on their farms, but that feeling seems to be passing away. Many farmers like to hunt, they say, as well as men who come out from the towns and cities, and they feel that if they allow outsiders to come on to their farms and killfall the game they will -have no game to hunt themselves. When a hunter asks for the privilege of hunting on a farm now, many farmers feel like it is presumptious in him to do so, and they do not hesitate to turn him down. Many farmers are proud of the game on their farm.

One man said that there were many pigeons around his barn and he would not care if a hunter were to shoot some of them, but if there were a covey of quail on his place he would not want anyone to kill them.

Another man said that there were squirrels in one of his pastures in front of his house-. They have become so tame that they come close to the house. That man of course does not want those squirrels of which he is so proud, killed.

Another farmer was mentioned who had watched some nice squirrels with interest and pleasure for months in his grove with no thought of killing them, only to find that some hunter slipped in and killed and carried them away.

All farmers are not opposed to hunters, but most of them are. They would just as soon a hunter would kill some of their chickens as to kill a covey of quail on their farms. Many do not want rabbits on their farm killed. Careless hunters have been responsible for much of the prejudice, but other conditions have also much to do with the present feeling.

"Bob" Henry Made Address Hon. "Bob" Henry, a Texas congressman made a Democratic speech at the court house Thursday night to a fair sized audience. Mr. Henry is known as a gifted orator.

A representative of this paper asked Dora Crider today about quail and he said he had seen only one covey. William F. Thomas had seen lonly two, and Richard Pauley had seen three. None of them were of the opinion that there were many quail.

Bert Pauley was sent as delegate fco th^Jconvention of the Grand Lodge of the RedJMen, which was in session at Indianapolis Wednesday.

WAS FOUL PLAY E

Rumor Going Rounds That Evidence

of Drawn Spikes Was Found at

Cleveland Wreck.

A rumor is going the rounds that the Pennsylvania railroad track at Cleveland, where the wreck occurred a few days ago, had been tampered with. The rumor is that a hand car was found on the track and evidences of drawn spikes were found.

Whether there is any foundation for this rumor is not known generally as the railroad officials are keeping any information they may have to themselves.

If anything of this kind was discovered it will probably come to light, only when the officials investigation of the wreck is made.

Carriers of Diseases.

Dr. L. B. Griffin gave a talk to the departmental school on the subject "Carriers of Diseases." The talk was instructive as well as interesting. He gave a history of how the plague was stopped in the West by discovering thac its spread w&s due to fleas as carriers of the disease. He also told of the spread of typhoid, tuberculosis etc. was due largely to the house fly. The sleeping sickness of Africa was checked when it was discovered that the mosquito was responsible largely for the disease. Other instances of this nature were given to the students.

FIVE INGHES LONG

Found by Mrs. Pearl Hendren While

Making Kraut Are Very

Poisonous.

While cutting cabbage for kraut at her home on Mechanic street, Mrs. Pearl Hendren discovered a cabbage snake, five inches in length. These little reptiles are about the size of a hair from a horse's mane or tail and are pink in color. They are very poisonous and two years ago were very numerous, dozens of them boing reported.

It is supposed that the condition of the season has considerable to do with the number of these poisonous reptiles.

Dinner at Reception.

About 250 people took their birthday dinner at the Presbyterian church Thursday. The dinner was splendid, well cooked and served well. Twelve tables representing each month, was beautifully decorated in accordance with the month. As the guests came in they were escorted to the table of their birth month. It certainly was a happy crowd and the dining room never looked prettier.

The reception that was given at Prayer Meeting Wednesday evening for the fifteen new members that united with the church Sunday, was largely attended and all had a very pleasant time. Refreshments of fruit, punch and cake were served by the ladies.

Mr. Williamson the pastor was perhaps the happiest one there, as he takes great pleasure in the church work and its progress.

Water Turned Into Pipes Saturday and

the Hose Tested People

are Glad.

Shirley now has fire protection, which she has needed for many years. The water plant is in working order, though some alterations are necessary in the machinery before the plant can be accepted by the town council.

Saturday the water was turned into the mains and the pumps filled the tank. A couple of hose were attached at the Center street corner and the hydrant opened. A splendid stream poured out of the nozzle and went nearly a hundred feet high. Such a stream as that would have quenched the fire of Aug. 22 before it did $100 damage, instead of the loss of many thousands.

Anyhow Shirley is delighted to get the water works going, even if it does cost much money and a long wait.

In the November number of the Scribner magazine Ernest Thompson Seton's first paper on "The Arctic Prairies." a practically unknown region of the great Northwest, appears. It describes what to most readers will seem to suggest a story of the past, "The Land of the Buffalo." Mr. Seton recalls in his introduction the period when buffalo once abounded on the great plains of the West and says that it was the attraction and the romance of this time that spurred him to undertake a sixmonth's canoe journey to find the buffalo of today. The article is illustrated by both drawings and photographs by the author and is full of interest and will be thoroughly eujoyed by everybody.

The sudden drop in temperature, started a brisk and steady sale of stoves and fuel. The dispensers these necessities have been patient,Ij awaiting the present condition.
