should always be used where several people sit, because it does not strain the eyes of those sitting far from it.

The Rayo Lamp is constructed to give the maximum diffused white light. Every detail that increases its light-giving value has been included. I The Rayo Is a low-priced lamp. You may pay $5, $10 or even $20 for other lamps and get a more expensive container—but you cannot get abetter light than the Rayo gives.

This season's Rayo has a new and strengthened burner. A strong, durable shade-holder keeps the shade on firm and true. Easy to keep

The revival at the Cleveland M. E. church which was started a week ago, continues to grow. The meetings Saturday and Sunday nights were attended by large crowds from the surrounding country. They are having some splendid singing, good preaching and the workers are enthusiastic.

Approval of Good Citizens. Ora Myer9, our honorable and esteemed mayor of Greenfield, has the full approval, we verily believe, of the very large majority of the voters of Greenfield for his honorable refusal to preside at the proposed banquet to be given by the fire department, where beer was to be served.

It would have been a dishonorable act had Mr. Myers consented to preside when he knew that his constituents had spoken by their ballots in opposition to the use of beer a9 a beverage. He has been moving against strong opposition in the enforcement of our laws against law violators, and it would have been traitorous on his part. He would have pleased the enemies of law and order who desire that he fail to meet the expectations of his supporters.

Mr. Myers should receive the earnest and effective support of all the good citizens of Greenfield in his worthy efforts to serve them faithfully, with due respect to his solemn oath. They should speak out in his defense, and voice their approval of his praise-worthy course. Their dear boys and girls are under Irs protecting hand. Their character and prospective future for good are more to be valued than dollars. Therefore they out to persistently oppose the evils of intemperance.

He has been in almost all parts of thfc civilized world in connection with the business of his company.

SPELLING BEES ARE BEING HELB

Townships Hold Contests Tuesday and

THE POST CARD FAD Tl

Every Holiday Sees More of Them—

Area Big Part of the Mail

Handled.

The post card fad which was started a few yeara ago, continues to grow until it now has assumed im mense proportions. Every holiday sees more of them sent and the post cards now make up a large part of every incoming and outgoing mail. At the local postoffice hundreds of them are handled daily and the number can hardly be estimated at Christmas time.

MAILS GROWING HEAVY.

The postoffice work is growing heavy now, especially out going mail and packages. The clerks are all handling it well however and the fact that people are becoming educated to the fact that it is necessary for them to wrap and tie the packages well before starting them on their way to friends. The packages that are being sent, show a free use of the Red Cross Seals by Greenfield people.

A POOR EXCHANGE.

In Europe the phosphorus deposits are carefully guarded as storehouses of future national prosperir-y and support. The laws of Norway, for instance, make it almost impossible— which means unprofitable—to send the precious phosphate rock, there discovered, out of the country. It is kept at home by legislative enactment to preserye the fertility of the Norwegian farming lands.

In the United States, to the contrary, the great beds of phosphate rock are recklessly exploited for the benefit of the individual and often foreign owners. The greatest of agricultural experts estimate that the total production of phosphate rock in America is not greater than would be required to renew the phosphorus annually drained from the soil by the crops. But two-thirds of it are regularly exported, sent abroad, most of it to Gerniany, for the enrichment of German farmers and the ultimate impoverishment of American farms.

By way of paying for this most precious and necessary of natural products, the shrewd Germans, smiling in their sleeves, send over a few cases filled with waste bits of wood and metal, skilfully carved and painted, toys and gimcracks given their sole value by the skill and ingenuity of German mechanics. In other words they exchange for a million tons of an extremely limited and absolutely essential natural product—the work of nature and slow time—something that man cannot duplicate or replace a million gross of jumping jacks and Noah's arks, products of cheap human labor, containing nothing intrinsically valuable, serving no useful purpose, easy to duplicate indefinitely and forever.—From "Phosphorus and Jumping Jacks," in January Technical World Magazine.

If you are suffering from biliousness, constipation, indigestion, chronic headache, invest one cent in a postal card, send to Chamberlain Medicine Co., Des Moines, Iowa, with your name and address plainly on»the back, and they will forward you a free sample of Chamberlain's Stomach and Liver Tablets. Sold by all druggists.

Miss Noma Milburn left Friday to join her parents, at Louisville, Ky., who are enroute to Chattanooga. Washington, D. C., and will probably visit a son and brother at West Point before returning.

The peculiar properties of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy have been thoroughly tested during epidemics of influenza, and when it was taken in time we have not heard of a single case of pneumonia. Sold by all druggists.

Mildred, the little daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Homer Smith, who has been sick for several days, is some better.

William F. Thomas, of rural route one, has a two year old filly for which he has refused $225.

Miss Alice Meek, who has been sick for two months at the home of Mr. and Mrs. John Turk, is no better.

SEEMS ASSURED

Dispatch From Washington Say He

Has the Sergeant-at-Arms Job

Fairly Cinched.

There seems but little doubt, ac cording to dispatches from Washington, but that Stokes Jackson will be successful in landing the appointment as Sergeant-at Arms of the Democratic House of Representatives at Washington. Mr. Jackson was at Washington last week looking over the field and the correspondent for the Indianapolis Star sized the situation up as a walk-away for Jackson, as he is almost unanimously backed by the proper influences, it is said.

The Indianapolis News of Saturday says: "The Indiana delegation to a man promised to support Jackson's election as sergeant-at-arms and the representatives lost no time in getting busy. Jackson, who arrived in Washington Wednesday, is spending a large part of the time at the capitol, meeting Democrats from other states. He will remain until eongress adjourns for the holidays and those who are on the inside say that when he returns to Indianapolis he will carry with him the assurance that he will be chosen for the place."

OBITUARY

Marie Alford Cooper, daughter of Ernest and Ola Alford, was born March 6th, 1893, near Eden, and died at her father's home in Maxwell, Ind., Sept. 30th, 1910, age 17 years, 6 months and 24 days. In 1906 she graduated in common schools at Eden with high honors.

She was married to Warren Cooper June 9th, 1910. Although her married life was short, the faithful young husband and friends did everything in their power to make her life happy and full of sunshine.

Marie had been in failing health for several weeks and just as hopes of her getting well were the brightest, she was like the blooming rose that

was plucked, soon withered and died.

And as we stand the death cham-

ber by the casket that holds all that remains of our loved one, we wonder why when so young and full of the promises of this life that she had to be called away. But we know that it was God's hand that lead our darling away, away to that beautiful home where all is full of happiness and the glory and splendor of God, and while her days on this earth were spent in sufferings, hereafter she.will rest peacefully in the silent tomb with the angels standing guard.

Our home has been made so dark and® lonely. Our hearts are breaking over our loss, but we know that it is her gain. Let us think of death as only a change from this world so full of grief and sorrow, to one full of sunshine and happiness, made perfect by the presence of our beloved Saviour.

Marie leaves to mourn her early death a devoted husband, a heartbroken mother and father, one little sister besides a number of loving friends and relatives. Let us think of Marie as peaceful and happy,

Not mourn in dispair at our loss, The river between us is narrow, The river that we soon shall cross. Though gloomy the shadows about it,

And deep is the mist on its breast, To the earth weary ones at its border, Its waves must bring comfort and rest. They are gone but a little before us,

Have traveled just ^'over the way," We have lost our beloved companion, By only the breath of a day. Our tasks are not done—we must tarry,

Though the hours seem weary and slow, Until when our duties are o'er,

God gives us permission to go.

The funeral was held at Eden, conducted by Rev. Truitt, of Philadelphia, Oct. 3, 1910. Interment at Eden cemetery.

A sprained ankle will usually disable the injured person for three or four weeks. This is due to lack proper treatment When Chamberlain's Liniment is applied a cure may be effected in three or four days. This l.niment is one of the best and most remarkable preparations in use Sold by all druggists.

The Greenfield property owners are getting rid of the Carolina poplar trees fast. A large majority of them have been distroyed,

A clean sweep is being made by the officers at New Castle who have closed the five cent theaters on Sunday stopped the slot machines from operation, and ordered the cigar stpres and pool rooms to remove their screens and leave them down.

VERDICT OF JURY WAS A STANDOFF'

Found for Plaintiff and Defendant for

Same Sum in Hobbs vs. Geisel

Gase.

The jury in the case of Oliver P. Hobbs against William Geisel for $250 on contract and the counter claim of the defendant for damages, returned a verdict Monday evening, which the attorneys of the city term a "standoff." The verdict is as follows "We, the jury, find for the plaintiff on the first and second paragraphs of his complaint, and assess his damages at $111.50.

We further find for the defendant on his counter claim and assess his damages at $111.50 and we find that there is a balance in favor of the in the sum of $ ."

The plaintiff alleged that the amount sued for was due him on the contract for a house for the defendant who filed a counter claim for damages alleging that the work was not properly performed, etc. The case was on trial three days before Special Judge Wm. A. Hough.

At English's.

There is a phychological moment in "The Climax" the powerful drama with which Joseph Weber surprised and conquered New York last season and which comes to Englishe's Opera House, Indianapolis, for an engagement of three nights regular Wednesday matinee. This moment arrives after Adelina whose one ambition is to become a prime donna, has lost her voice. The disappointment is a keen one. The young men are suitors for Adelina's heart and hand. She is so absorbed in her music that she hasn't bothered about marriage. With her voice gone, however, Adelina isr called upon to choose one or the other. She decides upon one, then a twist in events causes her to change her opinion. Which will she choose in the end. That is the great .question. Even when the curtain falls the audience wants to settle the matter

fluenced by argument on both sides. Richard Carle's popularity, which has reached its highest point, has. never been illustrated better than in connection with "Jumping .upiter"m which he will play a return engagement at English's Opera House on Friday and Saturday, December 30th and 31st. This is strictly a "show." It is designed, primarily, to entertain and, like the other Frazee and Lederer production, "Madame Sherry," wins because of the quality of cast rather than in force of numbers. It does not rely on its star alone to make its way, broad as his shoulders are for any such burden. The speed of "Jumping Jupiter" is helped along by several other pace-makers, such, aa Edna Wallace Hopper (specially engaged), Will Philbrick with his. roly-poly person and his unexcelled! skill in coon songs Lillian Shaw, Inat Claire, Joe Miron and Barbarettitf. The chorus, too, is unusual.

DAMAGE CASE APPEALED TO SUPREME COURT

Anew trial was refused in the case pf Samuel J. Hensley vs. the Indianapolis Traction & Terminal Company for $25,000 damages in which a verdict was rendered a few weeks ago. An appeal to the Supreme Court was taken, a bond for $25,000 being required and given.

The suit of Lettie L. Sylvester vs.. Edward Sylvester for divorce and alimony was heard and taken under advisement.
