WHY THE UGLY MEN

Blind Psychic Impulse Often Strikes

Trail to a Fat Bank

Account.

The reason why so many beautiful women mai*ry ugly men has been solved by Dr. H. F. Cameron, of McGill University, Canada, who cleared up the mystery in a lecture to the class in sociology at the University of Chicago.

The real reason is what Dr. Cameron describes as "blind psychic impulse." But, he says, in spite of the blindness of said impulse, it often strikes the right trail to a fat bank account, or a lucid, sharp sense of humor, or manners and good breeding, which compensate for the mere physical ugliness of th^ lucky man. "Persons like J. P. Morgan, John D. Rockefeller, as well as gentlemen of blue blood," were among those whom Dr. Cameron described in his lecture as having overcome the han dicap of slight personal pulcheritude in their race for the girls of their choice.

To the Horse Breeders of Hancock

County.

I wish to say that I have purchased of the Maywood Stock Farm Importing Co., of Indianapolis, Ind., a great four year old Belgian stallion known as BOQUET DU KAT, $To. 5662. This is one of the greatest Belgian stallions that has ever been brought to Hancock county. He is thin in flesh yet weighs 2030 pounds. He is a rich seal brown and is one of the largest boned horses that you can find anywhere. This horse is richly bred and will certainly be one of the greatest breeding sires that has ever been in this section of the country. This is one of the best Belgians imported by the Maywood Stock Farm Importing Co. this year and he was imported to this country for the purpose of holding over to make a show horse and it was not until the third trip I made to the Farm that I got these people to consent to sell this horse this year, but having bought Marco, the great Percheron stallion, of them last year that I prevailed on them to let me buy this great Belgian horse to go in the same barn with the celebrated Marco. This is in my judgment one of the best young Belgian horses I have ever seen and I earnestly invite the inspection of all the breeders of draft horses to call and look this horse over. For full description and particulars of this great horse see his bills and for further particulars and terms I will ask you to call at my barn and I will gladly show these horses and will give you terms on which they will make the season of 1911.

Thanking all of my customers one and all for the patronage they have given me in the past and earnestly soliciting their patronage to these tc great horses in the year of 1911, I remain, Yours very truly,

Wm. Furry.

FARMERS HELD UP BY HEAVY RAINS

Has Rained Nearly Every Day Since

April First—Water Everywhere—

Reminder of Last Season.

Hancock county farmers are about as completely tied up and have been for two weeks, as they have been for years at this season. During March the farmers get in some pretty good work. They were well along with the plowing and other farm work when April first dawned.

Rained began to fall last week and continued to fall almost every day until the ground became thoroughly soaked. Then the rain fell and filled the ponds and low ground, making it impossible to get at any kind of farm work. The season is a good reminder of last year when the month of March was sunny as a southern clime.

Many farmers planted corn in that month but April turned out bad and the corn had to be planted the second time and some the third time. If the weather settles down now, there will be no serious complaint, but if last April is to be repeated, we may look out for a howl that will sound louder than the late Mexcan scrap.

PROBLEM SOLVED

Wifey's Sunbonnet Recommended As

Ideal To Shield Drinkers From

Pedestrians' Gaze.

The fact that saloons in Greenfield will not be permitted to have blinds or screens at the windows to protect the particular drinkers from the gaze of the public passing along the streets has called out the best talent of the thinkers who feel they haye solved the problem completely, though very simply. It was first suggested that an individual blind be kept on hand and used by the drinkers to: protect them from the view of pedestrians. Greenfield drinkers seem to have hit upon a better and more simple and effective plan however and wifey's sunbonnet is suggested as the most effective means of hiding the drinkers from the curious gaze of the walking public along the streets. This headgear, it is suggested, would not only be effective but would be cheap and would call for a special sale on sunbonnets thus stimulating the dry goods trade as well as the wet goods trade.

SMALL BLA2E AT SPOT CASH

The coal oil tank in the basement of the Spot Cash grocery, caught fire Saturday morning and caused considerable excitement for a few minutes. The fire department was called and made a quick run, but clerks at the grocery had formed themselves into a bucket brigade and controlled the blaze before any damage was done. The origin of the fire is unknown.

KEEP FULL WEEK PRAYER AND PRAISE

Christian Women's Board of Missions

Makes Appeal to All Women In

Church to Practice Self-Denial

It has been the custom for many years for the Auxiliaries' to the Christian Womens Board of Missions to observe the week preceding Easter as a special time of self-denial, prayer and praise. Laying aside all social and club work for the week that nothing may hinder their attendance at these meetings.

The Auxiliary have this year arranged to observe this week of devotion, beginning with the sermon Sunday morning by Rev. B. F. Dailey. Tuesday afternoon, Wednesday evening and Thursday afternoon will be observed as a special time of prayer, praise and study of missions. We make a special appeal to all the women in the church to attend these meetings. Let us draw near to our Heavenly Father in prayer each day for a greater spiritual awakening and consecration of tijne and talents to our Master's service. We especially invite the christian women of the churches of Greenfield to meet with us in these services.

There is a great awakening this "Jubilee Year" in womens organized missionary work. Women of culture, education and wealth are giving themselves to the cause of missions, as they never have before. Greater things hre being planned, worked for and praved for.

The Christian Women's Board of Missions have had a large share in bringing about this zeal for Christ. The questian no longer is—Do I believe in Foreign missions, or Home missions? The question is—Do I believe in God, In Jesus Christ as His son and the Savior of the World? Then, if this Savior means anything to us, we will assist in carrying His commission to "All the Earth," to the true christian there are no lines, "All the World" crosses out territory countries, color.

A Reliable Medicine—Not a Narcotic. Mrs. F. Marti, St. Joe, Mich., says: "Our little boy contracted a severe bronchial trouble and as the doctor's medicine did not cure him, I gave him Foley's Honey and Tar Compound in which I have great faith. It cured the cough as well as the choking and gagging spells, and he got well in a short time. Foley's Honey and Tar Compound has many times saved us much trouble and we are never without it in the house." M. C. Quigley.

THE FURNITURE MAN

112-114 W. Main

HER HIGH PLACE

Were Given Their Rightful Place in All

Affairs of the Country By Well

Known Greenfield Lecturer.

Should you have met any of your women acquaintances on the street Saturday and they failed to recognize you, Mr. Reader, think nothing strange of the occurence for they were probably in attendance at the lecture of Dr. C. A. Robinson Friday night and learned their true value and high sphere in all the affairs of the country. They certainly have cause to be justly proud of the high but well deserved praise given the American women by our city's widely famed thinker and lecturer.

There was a good attendance at the Christian church where the lecture was given and while the audience was gathering, Miss Dora Arnold rendered pleasing piano music.

Mr. Robinson, who is well known to every man, woman and child in this city, was presented by Mr. John M. Hufford, teacher of the large bible class under whose auspices the lecture was given.

In his lecture of an hour, Mr. Robinson held the undivided attention of everyone, his subject being an inexhaustable one, "That Queen of Hearts, the American Woman." He gave woman her rightful place as a most powerful factor in everything for which the best of American citizenship stands and has stood. In the work of the church, in literature, in politics, and as wielder of the ballot, where that privilege is accorded her, the American woman was recognized by the speaker as a monument of strength and influence always of the highest order. As a teacher she is classed with those in the front ranks and in none of these, can the women of any other country compare with her in any great degree. As a home builder, Mr. Robinson placed the American woman head and shoulders above those of any other country and their beneficial influence is felt in every advance movement, if indeed such movement does not originate with some "American Queen of Hearts," or organization of such queens. The women were certainly given their rightful and well deserved place in the eloquent address of Dr. Robinson and everyone who heard the lecture have only the highest praise for the lecturer and the manner in which he presented his interesting subject.

Westland Commencement. The commencement exercises of the Westland high school were held Thursday night. Six high school graduates received diplomas and the eighth grade pupils were also presented with their diplomas. The address by Dr. Black was appreciated by all. The music was under the direction of Miss Nora Hare. After the commencement exercises an alumni association was organized and officers elected for the ensuing year. Light refreshments were served.

Col. Frank Shell house of lndianapolie was here Friday evening to attend the lecture of Dr. 0. A. Robinson.1 Mr. Shellhouse is colonel of the First Regiment U. K. of P. and is also head of the Sons of Veterans' organization of the state.

LATE GOOL WEATHER BETTER FOR FRUIT

Continued Cold or Cool Weather Makes

Fruit Growers Feel Safer—Trees

Do Not Put Out Any Bud.

Every "throwback" of winter, unpleasant as it may be to those who are obliged to go about in it, has it^ own particular value, It is especially bearable to the owners of fruit orchards, as each day that passes without encouraging the trees to put forth buds is a unit more in favor of a full fruit crop this year. Some weeks ago, when the mild days came and the trees responded to their influence, grave fears of premature appearance of buds arose in the minds of careful farmers. In the nich oi time a change in the weather came and arrested the output of the tender growths. Since that time they have hardly had time, as it were, to get themselves ready for further growth as the weather has been a succession of cold or cool "snaps" with pleasant days intervening.

Needless to say, such days as this has been holding back the fruit trees with a firm hand, and the season is now growing sufficiently late that the danger of future cold of sufficient intensity to damage the trees is very greatly lessened.
