RE-ELECTED PRES.
Closing Session of Sunday School Con
vention Friday Night—Splendid
Address by Mr. Burnie—Re
view of Convention.
The annual Hancock County Sunday School Convention closed with Friday night's session. The attendance at the three sessions was good and the meeting was full of interest and enthusiasm among the workers.
A fine spirit of unity prevailed, and although Hancock county has not yet reached the highest standard of work, it has made some advancement since last year in Front Line efficiency.
The morning session was opened by singing, "Throw Out the Liie Line," followed by scripture lesson and prayer by Rev. J. F. Rhoade.
The principal part of the forenoon program was by. the state secretary George N. Burnie on the topic, "How to Count Right," showing that a careful record kept by the secretary is a very necessary part of the Sunday school, and superintendents and teachers should put forth a greater effort to stimulate church attendance.
The opening of the afternoon session was scriptural quotations from the audience led by Rev. Collins of New Palestine. This was followed by Mr. Burnie's topic on "Graduation, Why?" The evening address on "Jesus, the teachers model" was exceedingly good, and brought forth many favorable comments from those
who heard him. Mr. Burnie's work in this convention gave evidence of his earnestness and ability, for the work which he has undertaken, and a zeal that characterizes a heart filled with love for humanity and the salvation of souls.
Reports showed that three townships had reached the requirements of a banner township. They were Jackson, Sugarcreek and Brandywine. Vernon and Green having failed only in not being represented in the convention.
At the close of the afternoon session the following officers were elected:
President—Dr. B. S. Binford. Vice President—Frank Larrabee. Secretary and Treasurer—Mrs. R. H. Archey.
Supt. Home Dept.—Mrs. Martha Elliott. Teachers' Training—Claud Poer.
Elementary Grades—Mrs. Elsie Hagans. Temperance—Freti Havens.
Adult Bible Class—J. Clay Wood. Missionary—A. P. Hogle. Advanced Division—Mrs. N. C. Binford.
Agent for Awakener—D. C. Gimason.

ced In 1904 Comes Before the
State Board of Pardons.
At the Thursday afternoon session of the State Board of Pardons, the case of Charles Van Blaricon, sentenced from Hancock county in 1904 for the murder of Robert Frazier at Maxwell was considered. Van Blaricon was represented by State Senator Bernard Shively, of Grant county according to the Indianapolis News— Van Blaricon's petition for release is based on his declaration that he did not kill Frazier, who was struck with a hammer at a railway station where a number of men were receiving election returns. Van Blaricon sent from the prison a diagram of the station, showing where Frazier fell and where Van Blaricon was standing, in support of his contention that he could not have committed the offeuse.

Farmers say wheat is looking fairly good for this time of year and in some instances it is looking extra good. There has been some snow and not many hard freezes and thaws, all of which helps to save the growing wheat.

AUTO AMBULANCE
Purchased By Local Undertaker Are
Only Three In Use In State—Only
One Other Six Cylinder.
Oak S. Morrison has purchased a big automobile ambulance to use in his undertaking bnsiness. The machine will be built and delivered within the next seven weeks. He has purchased a model S. Six Cylinder, filty to seventy horse power Mitchell running gears of C. E. Kinder & Son, the price being $2,250. The bed will be built by Omer Gordon who builds the beds for the Leader Cars. It will be of Steele. The machine is a monster in siae. So far as is known there are only three automobile ambulances now in use in the state, two at Indianapolis and one at Terre Haute. Only ore of these is as large and powerful as the one purchased by Mr. Morrison, so Greenfield is to be up to date in this line as well as others, and far in advance of many cities of her size and larger in the state.
MORE HUMANE
Merchants and clerks over the state are greatly interested in a movement which is gaining ground for a more humane Saturday night for merchants, clerks, deliverymen and delivery horses. The public in general is asked to do its shopping early on Saturday instead of waiting until the evening when the clerks are tired out from their week's work and have in addition to their other work a great number of orders to fill before they are ready to go home.
A little forethought on the part of the women of the city will cause them no extra trouble and will be deeply appreciated by those working in the stores. Such a kindness is nothing more than the obeying of the golden rule and the result would be more faithful work on the part of the employed, better service to the customers and the lightening of work and responsibility to all. It is hoped the matter will be given attention here.
PETITION TO CLOSE LOCAL PDSTOFFIGE
A petition is being circulated to have the postoffice closed on Sunday. The movement was started last Sunday by the men of the American Bible Class and the plan seems to meet with general approval.
Pictures of Great Horses. The Western Horseman, the oldest and most up-to-date trotting horse and turf paper in the world, published weekly at Indianapolis, Ind., has at great expense secured true-to-life pictures, suitable for framing, of the four world's champions, The Harvester, 2:01 Colorado E., (3) 2:04% Joan, (4) 2:04%, and Justice Brooke, (2) 2:094, and are sending to all subscribers, at the regular subscription price of $2 per year in advance, a full set of these handsome and valuable pictures free. We will be glad to forward any subscription order left at this office.
Fountaintown to Fortville
^ou^.Etectric Railways Cross Hancock County East and west. Every Fifteen Minutes of Every Day One Car Goes East and One Car Goes West across and out of Hancock, an average of one interurban car every seven and one-half minutes carrying our people away from and out of the Home Trading District.
FOUNTAINTOWN TO FORTVILLE means Auto-Truck service turning these four electric roads across Hancock County into feeders for home business, and forming a network of facilities for public conveyance within the county.
Home-folks wake up to what'this means: One big department store at Indianapolis has bought, -equipped and now operates two of these auto trucks to carry its customers to its doors. The result is wonderful. Those cars deliver from five to seven-hundred people a day yet this store is located on a street where street cars stop at ics doors two each way every three or four minutes! If they need the auto trucks to furnish proper facilities for their customers,*how about Hancock county merchants with four electric roads cutwng across the county and no north and south connection between them?
This is not an untried experiment. For seven months the Auto-Traction car has run from Greenfield to Maxwell. It has carried not hundreds but thousands of passengers in that time—the figures seem impossible to many. The extension of this line to Fountaintown on the south and to Fortville on the north is a increment worthy of the best effort and co-operation of every public spirited persop in Hancock county. It will tap a great northern section of Shelby county for home merchants it will knit our home con^munity together as nothing else could for a comparatively small outlay it will give the north and south connection that Hancock county has needed for twentylive years. Local pride, home spirit, neighbors first and the outsiders afterwardb is at the bottom of this movement. We must sell $4000 of the preferred stock of the Company now in the treasury to accomplish this great boon for r.nifl lnnfl.lifv TIiiq
