FDBLISHED EVERY THURSDAY.

Altered at the postoffloe, Greenfield, Ind., as •eoond CIARS

matter.

NEWTON R. SPENCER, Editor and Proprietor.

Now that Christmas is drawing near, let us all hope in advance that no little stocking, hung up with fond anticipations of a visit from Santa Claus, will be overlooked.

When polititics dies it is the deadest thing that is dead.

Every business has its troubles, but the auto troubles are even more intense than the pleasure of autoing. Oh, you auto tire troubles, you are greatest of them all!

There is no doubt about the quality of both the play and the company which is to be at Rogers opera house next Saturday night. People who want to witness a high class play at liome without the expense of going to Indianapolis should secure tickets at Myers book store.

The butchers in Chicago assert that the alleged cut in the price of meat is no cut at all. It is only a newspaper rumor put out by the packers in order to aid them in hammering down the price of hogs so that they «an sedure the raw material cheap. They insist that the rumor does the retailer injustice, as he is obliged to meet the demands of the public for a «ut in price, when there is really no reduction in the prices they are paying for meat.

Mr. Holland, the new proprietor of the Rogers' opera house, has arranged for a season of good shows. He has Ijooked some strong, high classed companies which should be "patronized by the theater going peo pie of Greenfield and vicinity. There are a great many people in Greenfiold who like to go to shows, and who do go to shows at Indianapolis. They find, however, that it is inconvenient to go to the theater away from heme, and that a long ride or the cars after midnight detracts the pleasure of theater going. To such people, the enterprise of the new proprietor should appeal strongly, anc the high classed shows which he hat booked should be well patronized, jDon't fail to hear Graustock next Satwday night.

Card of Thanks.

We wish to thank the people in ^general for their kind and generous Acts. We also wish to thank all those who aided us and extended sympathy in the sickness and death of our dear fcrother, Clarence Huntley Morrison. Slay the Lord bless them is the prayer of his brother John and sister, Lillie Morrison.

Mrs. May Hornady, of Indianapolis, was a guest Sunday of Mr. and Mrs. John Martin.

A. J. Banks and RJd Pauley are having about 600 bushels of shock-corn husked and shredded.

HANKSGIVIN Is the time when turkeys go up to thirty ccnts a pound and evrybody begins to think that before long they will hafto go broke buyin

Thanksglvin started away long ago when thare wasent but a few people in this country and they lived away down east and thare wasent any ralerodes so thay couldn't go home for Thanksglvin dinner, so thay concluded to have thare own Thanksglvin.

Thay was colonists and they colonisted on Plimuth Rock, w!ch Is on the edge of the ocean and costs you twenty live cents to see unless your ancestors come over on the May* flower. The Mayflower was a boat that come from England once with a lot of people In It and a lot of clocks and spinnln wheels and things. Unkel Bill sez thare must have been a whole fleet of Mayflowers, becos he has seen enough clocks alone to fill 2 ships hlsself. if your ancesters come over in the Mayflower your ma has got the right to sniff at somebody else that only got into this country by waitin till thay could come over in seven days and play poker all the way.

Thare is also the dotters of the revolution and some more dotters of the revolution and thay have conventions every year and thare pictures is in the papers, & thay almost have fltes with each other electln presdents and things. Unkel Bill sez thay are like a sewin society accordin to Hoyle. but the people that got up Thanksglvin was here before the revolution, and they dident have enough to eat all one year. Thay rote home for munney, but didnent get any and so thay had to go to work and rase crops and animals to eat.

Unkel Rill sez they was so poor for a while that evry famly had. from ten to forty dogs.

The igrotes wich live in the Philipeea Hands eat dogs thay have so many, also people huntln the north pole eet dogs. Unkel Bill sez he dont see why they cant find the north pole if they will only take a lot of saint burnard dogs along instead of poodles, in the north pole the nites Is 6 months long & when people go out to spend the evenln they "uaf to pack thare trunks for a long visit.

We should all be vary thankful that we dont live in the Philipeen llands or hunt the north pole, in the Phil-

"Unkei Bill Sez."

peen stands Is the revolution of the natives & In the north pole is the revolution of the erth on its axes, but thay dont have dotters of the revolution anywhere but rite here.

Turkeys Is good eetin & so Is mints pie & so is plum pudlng & so is cramberry soss. so 1 think we can all be thankful or at least mutch obliged

SYifira Thanks and

Christmas presents. Thare are lots of people in the world that Is

too poor to be able to let the marketman skin them out of thirty cents a pound for turkeys, & so they otto be vary thankful.

There were Hiram Tuttle, Lucy Finch, a turkey and a suffrage question. Three of these were tangible in the beginning, although Hector and Lucy were a great deal older than the turkey at the start. The suffrage question, I know, is as old as the hills and bids fair to become as everlasting.

In due time the woman's suffrage propaganda reached Mlllvllle. Several prominent suffragists descended upon the town in an automobile, and made speeches from that vehicle right in the middle of the public square of a Saturday afternoon. Ten years ago all the women in Millville would have said that those speakers were mannish, now they said they were exactly right Ten years ago all the men in Millville, bulwarked behind their chews of plug tobacco, would have denounced those Invaders as unwomanly and have classed them with Dr. Mary Walker and Belva Lockwood. Now the men Just chuckled to themselves and said the women ought to have the ballot—if they could get it.

While these women were speaking, Hiram Tuttle, having came down town to lay in his Sunday supply of bacon, eggs, coffee, flour and other bachelor provender, found himself listening to them—and right beside him stood Lucy Finch. Now, do not gather the notion that Hiram was a crabbed old bachelor nor that Lucy was a wizened old maid. Lucy was more than 30—but nowadays a woman who has passed 30 is just beginning to be good looking. Hiram wasn't crabbed at all he was pleasant enough—but the way he dressed himself was enough to make any woman wish she had a chance to take hold of him and spruce him up. It is all nonsense to say that woman Is impressed and influenced by

"Humph!" Sniffed Lucy, "And What Was Paul, Anyway? A Crusty Old Bachelor That Had to Be Struck by

Lightning Before He Would Go to Church!"

a man's appearance. What attracts her nine times out of ten Is the possibility of improving his appearance.

So it happened that Hiram ttnd Lucy walked away from the speaking together, and Hiram found himself, for the first time in five years, talking with a woman. I mean carrying on a conversation. He had spoken with plenty of them, but there's a difference. And all the way up the hill toward Lucy's home the argument on suffrage grew warmer and warmer, until by the time they parted they were dear enemies on the subject Hiram was absolutely against woman's suffrage, and as a crushing argument he cited some words of the apostle Paul about woman's place in the scheme of things. "Humph!" sniffed Lucy. "And what was Paul, anyway? A crusty old bachelor that had to be struck by lightning before he would go to church!" "Well, he knew a thing or two about women," Hiram argued, stoutly. "He Cidn't know anything about them!" Lucy replied, briskly, "If he had known anything about them he would have known that it would be women who kept the churches going, and did all the work, and that they were a great deal better than the men ever dared to be. And besides.

GREENFIELD REPUBLICAN, THURSDAY* NOVEMBER 24, 1910.

Love

WAS no spasmodic love

affair, this of Hiram Tuttie and Lucy Finch. That It was no highly romantic affair you may infer from the names of the principals. If I were drawing upon my imagination and writing a real love story, one that would make the

Justly celebrated affair of Paris and Helen seem like a business transaction In comparison, then their names would be Hector Montmorency de Beauville and Imogene Tereversham, or something to that effect.

But this Is simply a little story caught In real life—Just such an affair as Is going on right under your nose and in your own town at this moment. So If you prefer the rhetorical wooing of Hector Montmorency de Beauville and the no less rhapsodical counterwooing of Imogene Tereversham, dear reader, read no further.

even the men couldn't vote then, so what authority is he on suffrage?" Naturally, this dispute could not be ended then and there. Hiram Tuttle found it necessary to stop at Lucy Finch's gat£ several mornings and bring up some new argument that bad occurred to him, only to be effectually squelched by Lucy's wit and wisdom. And from that it became necessary for him to drop In of evenings once or twice a week—to continue the discussion. And, propinquity and acquaintance each having their effect, it was not long until he, with a man's foresight, saw that this debate could not be ended ior years, so he proposed to Lucy. Now, when a man proposes to a woman he has his ears set for just one word—and that is "Yes."

Therefore Imagine Hiram Tuttle's

Therefore Imagine Hiram Tuttle's Sur prise and Astonishment When Lucy Told Him "No."

surprise and astonishment when Lucy told him "No." And naturally, he asked her why she wouldn't marry him. Men always do that As if a woman could have a reason! By the time a man learns that a woman's "No" is merely a preliminary of her "Yes," he is too old to be interested in the matter.

Also, when a man gets the proposal habit he cannot shake it or break it. So Hiram grew to going around to Lucy's and asking her to marry him, every Wednesday and Sunday evening. Lucy enjoyed this. "I've got a 14-pound turkey for my Thanksgiving dinner," Hiram told Lucy on the Sunday evening before the day set apart by the governor to be thankful if you could think of anything to justify such a state of mind. "Fourteen pounds!" Lucy exclaimed. "Why, whatever in the world will you do with all that turkey?" "I thought I'd fry it and eat it," Hiram answered. "Fry it! Fry a turkey? Well, of all things!" "Yes, I laid out to fry It and have it with some fried potatoes and a pumpkin pie and some baked cranberries for my Thanksgiving dinner." "Baked cranberries! If that isn't just like a man! Who cooked your Thanksgiving dinner last year?" "I did. I had pork chops and boiled turnips." "You poor man!"

Artful Hiram! He knew what pity Is akin to. Having failed of all other avenues to her heart, he was taking the pity route. The 14-pound turkey was a fiction so were the pork chops. Had Lucy exercised her memory she would have recalled that Hiram always went to visit his Aunt Sarah over Thanksgiving. But she could think of only the one thing. So she said: "Hiram, I'll come up to your house Thursday morning and bake that turkey for you."

Lucy couldn't have done a thing like that where you and I live. That would have been scandalous. But in Millville they are not so fashionable as to confound neighborliness with suspicious- conduct. So on Thanksgiving morning Lucy proceeded to concoct for Hiram one of those Thanksgiving dinners you read poems about And when the turkey was done bitown and oozing and filling the air wfth a glorious perfume, she called Hiram to the kitchen and asked him if it didn't look good. "It does that," he answered. "Um-m-m!" "Well,"' she said, flrmly shutting the oven door^and planting herself before It, "in four minutes that turkey will be burned to a crisp. Unless you agree right now that women should have the vote 1 leave the turkey there and ruin it."

Hiram pondered for just 30 seconds. "I'll agree that woman shall have the right to vote," he offered, "if you'll agree to marry me." "Wel-1-1," she sighed, "of course It is for the great cause."

But it was the heat of the .oven that made her face so red. It.^nusf have been ten minutes later that Hiram released her from his arms and anxiously said that the turkey would be burned after all. .^"The fire was out before I called you Infe she confessed. "It won't burn." "Well," Hiram laughed, "I don't have to make all the rest of the men agree that women shairvote. do I?"

OUTSIDE PACKERS BIO UP THE PRICE OF HOGS

Advance Was Ten Cents—Sales at

$7.10 To $7.25.

Indianapolis, Ind., November, 23. Receipts—8,000 hogs, 1,400 cattle and 350 sheep, against, 11,962 hog9, 1.842 cattle and 625 sheep a week ago and 8,213 h'ogs, 2,229 cattle.and 518 sheep a year ago.

There were 1,000 fewer hogs than the daily average last week, and 4,000 f: fewer than a week ago. There was an increase in the demand from outside sources and with active buying competition all were soon placed at ageneral advance of 10c in prices. The top was $7.35 and most, of the hogs sold for $7.10 to $7.25.

There was a small midweek run of cattle, but enough to accommodate a preholiday trade. All kinds of fat cattle were steady at a little better prices than at the close of last week. There was not much doing in the feeder market. Bulls were fairly sterdy and calves 25c to 50c higher.

There were no more sheep than necessary'to accommodate the local trade. There was fair competition' and considering quality, prices were steady. Lambs still sell as high as $6, yearlings at $4.50 and sheep at $3.75.
