LETIEFI FROM TOWN OF SHIRLEY

The farmers around Shirley have began to think that spring time is nearly at hand and just to think of the past how far they are behind with their spring work.

W. H. Wood who has been appraising the real estate in Greensboro township has nearly completed his work.

Homer Garriott, Greensboro township assesser, has not been able to do much assessing this spring as he has a position with the Honey Bee line and can not fill both places very well, so he has appointed an assistant to do the assessing thus far.

Ed Manlove, the new selected night watch for Shirley has been rendering splendid service, and that is what Shirley is in great need of.

x\lbert

Dunckle has returned to

Winchester where he has been employed in the Winchester glass house. Shirley is in need of a high school. There is between 30 and 40 pupils now ready to begin the four year course of high school and no school.

Alex Hurst has been employed to do some mighty fine tile laying for Solomon Tracy. Mr. Tracy believes doing every thing rig]it from the very beginning.

Mrs. Charles. Shaw and daughter Lucile will visit Mrs. Shaw's parents at Farmland this week. Loucile will remain with her grandma for several weeks.

Oscar Barrett has begun delivering milk to the many patrons of Shirley and he seems to li&e the employment just first rate.

Howard Leigh of Spicelaud, spent Sunday with his schoolmate Ross Spangler. Both of these boys are ready for the high school next fall, as they were both very successful in passing out of the 8th grade this spring.

SOI SELF

At Home of Mr. and Mrs. E. E. Davis

Sunday—Had Some "Red Hot"

Corn and General Good Time

E. E. Davis, wife and daughter, Alice Gertrude, spent Sunday in Indianapolis, the guest of Mr. and Mrs. B. F. Bowen. On their return in the evening they were surprised to fiud lights turned 011 in the house and also found the front door locked 011 the inside. Mr. Davis gained entrance and found abundant evidence that intruders had been making themselves at home. A small gas stove in the dinning room had been lighted and chairs about it indicated that the callers had comfortably toasted their shins.

The odor of popcorn filk-d the rooms and in the kitchen, appearances showed that the inner man had not been neglected. A number of cobs and a kettle half full of popped corn being in evidence. It is doubtful, however, if the popcorn was much enjoyed by the self invited guests, as they had gotten hold of the kitchen pepper shaker instead of the salt shaker and the com was "red hot." Mr. and Mrs. Davis made a careful examination of the rooms and found nothing missing, except, a few cigars which were probably contributed to the enjoyment of the callers.

Elwood Moore has opened up a shop at the corner of Osage and Mechani ^reets, where he will do all kinds sji black smith work, including machin: epairing, and horseshoeing a speciality. He guarantees satisfactory work. d&w

Mrs. Gertrude Kincaid, of this city, and William C. Hall, of Indianapolis, were quietly married at the home of the bride's parents Saturday afternoon. Mr. and Mrs. Lucas witnessed the ceremony, Mr. Hall is an employe in the Marmon Automobile works in Indianapolis.

Resolutions Condemning Gov. Marshall

and Legislature Passed—Naftzger

Makes Report.

The North Indiana M. E. Conference failed to complete its work Monday and the appointments will not be made until some time Tuesday.

A resolution was passed condemning Governor Thomas R. Marshall and the last Legislature because of tho repeal of the county option law and the substitution of the city and township Unit law.

In making report of the affairs of the Indiana Methodist hospital the Rev. L. J. Naftzger of Greenfield said "many Jewn, Catholics and Christian Scientists had been treated." He deprecated the fact that the state had passed laws for the protection of polecats and fish and to compel landlord's to cut weeds, but had left the "young men, through the open saloon, to be dammed."

The Rev. C. E. Line, formerly pastor of the Bradley M. E. church was recommended as one of the trustees of the Old People's Home and he was appointed as sitor of the DePf»uvv College for three years.

Unless there was a change from the appointments Monday evening, Bev. L. J. Naftzger was returned to Greenfield for another year, as he was booked to return to the Bradley M. E. church..

The Rev. James W. Conner who died Sunday at his home in Irvington was well known to many Greenfield people, having preached here several times. His son Rastus, also a minister. was pastor of the Christiau church here before the new church was built.

Rev. Conner was probably better known at Morristown than at any other place as that was his home for many years and he preached more sermons there that at any other point.

The Rev. Mr. Conner belonged to a family of ministers. His father, uncle, two brothers and son were all teachers of the doctrine of the Christian church religion.

He was a most popular and effective minister where ever he was known. He entered the ministry in 1859, his first charge being at Charleston, 111.

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) 2:09.14, 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 fuee. We will be glad to forward any subscription order left at this office.

THINKS DANGER IS FUN

FRANK FOX, OF INDIANAPOLIS, TAKES CHANCES IN SPORT.

Auto Driver Handicapped by Artificial' Limb Enters 500-Mile Race on Motor Speedway Against

Most Famous Pilots in the World.

Indianapolis, Ind. An automobile race driver, wlio is in a class by himself from the unique standpoint of that hazardous sport, is Frank P. Fox, of Indianapolis, who has just entered a 1911 model Pope-Hartford in the $25,000 500-mile International Sweepstakes Race over the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, 011 Decoration Day, May 30 next. Fox is the only motor pilot in the game who has an artificial limb, his left leg having been amputated above the knee several years ago. The strange part of his willingness to accept this handicap against other famous drivers is the fact that he is independently wealthy and owns two or three thriving business institutions which yield him a large annual income, so that the element of personal gain does not enter into his participation in automobile racing.

Fox is known as one of the hardest, most fearless drivers who sit behind the wheel today, and despite his physical handicap he has been the winner of many races during the past three or four years. Most of his driving has been done in the East, although he has been a contestant hard for the others to reckon with in several o£ the events at the Indianapolis track.

During the

May

The Indianapolis Motor Speedway management has obtained advance permission to notify drivers entered in the $25,000, 500-mile International Sweepstakes race over that course, May 30, that they will be permitted to take their cars all the way through the long grind if they are in satisfactory physical condition and pass the examination of the representatives of the American Automobile Association contest board. The drivers have accepted this advice with considerable satisfaction, as many of them feared they would be governed by the threehour limit track and Speedway rule in force in 1910.

F. H. Wheeler, of the Wheeler & Scliebler Co., manufacturers of the Schebler carburetor, and one of the directors of the Speedway, says: "I believe the decision of the contest board to let one driver take a car straight through will make the race much better from the standpoint of the drivers themselves, the car manufacturers and the spectators. It has been the experience of the Speedway in long races that the spectators enjoyed the gameness of the pilots as much as the performance of tha cars."

GOLD LURES CHAMPION BACK

Purse of $25,000 at Indianapolis Speedway in May Proves Siren Song for Louis Chevrolet.

Indianapolis, Ind.- -The lure of

gold and glory is proving too strong for another of the great champions who had dropped from the limelight in the world of sport and announced his voluntary retirement from the hazardous motor racing game. The last of these past masters who will try to "come back" is Louis Chevrolet, the famous Franco-Swiss pilot of racing automobiles, who has, until recently, held the road race record of America, and who sprang into sudden fame by winning the Cobe Trophy over the Crown Point Course in Indiana in the 1909 season.

Chevrolet, according to persistent rumor, will don racing togs again this year for one event, that being the 500mile International Sweepstakes Race on the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, Memorial Day, May 30. The offer of $25,000 in gold, with a capital prize of $10,000 to the winner of the classic, has proven too much for the daring Chevrolet, and despite his thrilling experience in the Vanderbilt Cup Race last October, when his car left the course and dashed through the fence, killing his mechanic, it is given out on good authority that Chevrolet will be seen on the Indianapolis brick track

In May.

GREENFIELD REPUBLICAN, THURSAY, APRIL

race meeting at In

dianapolis last year the big PopeHartford which Fox was driving blew a front tire and swerved off the track into the fence. Although the car was badly broken up, Fox and his mechanician escaped injury. When asked if he was hurt, the dirt-begrimed driver replied: "Guess I've broken my left leg. It's not painful, but I can't get another leg until

get home."

MAY DRIVE FOR SEVEN HOURS

Contest Board of Auto Association Will Allow Pilots to Go Through 500-Mile Event at Indianapolis.

Indianapolis, Ind.- -Physical

training of an automobile race driver is as essential to success behind the wheel as is the training of an athlete to his success in any sport, according to the statements of some of the oldest motor pilots in that hazardous sport. The stories of hardships in endurance driving are told frequently by the dare-devil wheelman, but they are treated lightly and are as little considered by them as the element of danger which is ever present in the game.
