REWARD FUND

At a recent meeting of the Commercial Club when the matter of the petty stealing was being discussed by the members of the club, A. C. Pilkenton made a motion to raise a reward fund to be awarded to anyone who would apprehend and secure the conviction of the thieves. His suggestion met with general approval, and no doubt will be acted upon. The idea was that business men and citizens subscribe to a fund which would be offered for the arrest and conviciion of any thief who robbed any of the subscribers to the fund.£ Several citizens haye indicated that they will subscribe liberally to the fund. All that is necessary, it seems, is for someone to take hold of the matter in a definite manner and raise the money. This method is probably the only way that will put an end to the frequent thefts. Even if the stealing did not stop, it is very probable that the thieves would not steal of the members of the organization having a reward offered. That is said to be the effect largely where detective associations exist in the country. Thieves pass the property of members of detective companies, and steal from persons who do not belong to them.

The Reporter is in favor of raising the fund and in the absence of any real work being done in that line will attempt to arouse active effort by publishing the names of all contributors to the fund. Mr. Pilkenton has authorized a subscription of $5.00. The Reporter will give $5.00. Who next?

While many citizens are free to admit that the insurgent Republicans in the United States Senate have advocated many reform measures which are good, still no doubt the question arises in their mind, is the position and deportment of insergent senators snch as to give promise of practical and effective results? Is not thenposition and attitude of obstructiveness in computible with constructiveness? Is there not too much of the spirit of "I won't play unless I have my way?" Is there not too much of "my way or no way!" Will they, when they come into control, if they do, be able to agiee among themselves? Do they not lack that element necessary in all legislation of compromise? Even admitting that they are right in most of their positions, do they not seem to be more the fore-runners of needed reforms, who probably will never be able to lead their people into the "Promised

Land?"

The airing and rublicity which snobbery is getting at the national academy at this time is certainly pleasing to the great mass of common people of the country. There are very few things that should be more offensive to American citizenship than snobbery. It is seen in the naval and military academies, and in the United States Senate. There should be no place for it in America, and especially in governmental and educational affairs. The movement to suppress it in American colleges should be encouraged.

Congressman Finley Gray was the only Indiana congressman who dodged the vote on reciprocity with Canada. From Finley's campaign a courage we would have expected more of him.

Osteopathy

"The Better Way to Health." Osteopathy stands upon its merits it courts investigation. It has been tried by all classes of people and is not afraid of all reasonable tests. It asks all who will to challenge its merits.^ It is willing to compare results with all systems of healing. It is not a cure-all, but it has demonstrated in this community its superiority over other methods by the crucial test—results.

It is bringing joy and relief tojnany abandoned so-called incurable cases and is certainly a worthy successor to old methods. What it has done for others, it will do for you. Don't think because you have taken many remedies in vain that your case is incurable. Suppose you look up the merits of Osteopathy and give it a trial here at home, Mondays and Thursdays.

Treatment is soothing, restorative and never causes serious pain or discomfort. It arouses and properly directs the vital forces by adjusting what is mechanically wrong thus Nature's forces are set free to build from simple food all parts of the body. Here it is that the competent Osteopath goes deeper than the medical practitioner hence, his success with stubborn, chronic cases that baffle drug treatment.

The cold, pale skin is made warm and red, the flabby muscles harder, the weak stomach strengthened to properly perform its functions, the torpid liver and bowels stimulated to quick action, circulation accelerated,

afpetitite

restored, breath sweetened,

assimilation perfected, waste matter eliminated the whole system is Nature's own methods. tu-f-wtf

CASE IS REVERSED IN

Appellate Court Hands Down Decision

In Horse Trading Case From Han­

cock County.

The Appellate Court has given a dc cision in the Jarrett vs. Cauldwel1, horse-trading case from this county reversing the lower court. The decision is given in the following language: "Where two men traded horses, on the basis of $10 difference, 50 cents of which was paid at the time of trading and $4.50 to a third person on agreement between the parties, the person who received the difference desiring to rescind for fraud returned the horse receiyed and the $4.50 paid for his benefit, but from confusion of figures forgot the 50 cents received at the time of trading, and demanded the return of the horse he traded, which was refused, and he brought an action for replevin, held that when one wishes to rescind for fraud he must at his peril return all he received before he can commence the possessory action of replevin, and in failing to return the 50 cents he defeated his action."

SOIL SURVEY FOR

State Geologist Wants Information From the Farmers of This Vicinity—A Can Hep in This

Matter.

TO RESTORE SOIL FERTILITY

Aim is to Find Out What is Needed

and Then Tell Farmers How to

Produce Desired Rusult.

During the early part of next summer, beginning about the last of June, the State Department of Geologyjwill make a soil survey of Hancock county. The work will include a classification of the soils of the county the representation, upon a soil map, of the occurrence of the various type9 found and the preparation of a report which will describe the characteristics and uses of the different soils. Based upon this work, a study will be made of such problems as the best adaptation of crops to soil, the best methods of drainage, and the best means of maintaining or restoring soil fertility—problems which are becoming more and- more pressing as the original productiveness of the soil decreases.

To best accomplish these purposes, those in charge feel that, first of all, they must have the co-operation of the farmers of Hancock county. Knowledge gained from physical and chemical analysis of the soil can have its full value only when it is considered in connection with facts which can be learned only from those who have had actual experience with the soils under investigation. To obtain these facts, the State Geologist, Mr. Edward Barrett, is sending out the following list of questions to the farmers of this community:

Color of soil. Character of soil. What crops are grown most successfully?

What is the average crop per acre of wheat? Of corn? Of oats? Of rye? Of other grains? Of vegetables?

What fertilizer, if any, do you use? Note any peculiarities of the soil and subsoil?

Their behavior under tilliage and cultivation of various crops: Their behavior in wet and dry seasons

Difference in the behavior of different portions of the same field or soil area.

Since the data thus obtained is essential to the preparation of a satisfactory report, it is desired that everyone receiving a list of questions answer them to the best of his knowledge, and as promptly as possible.

"Our baby cries for Chamberlain's Cough Remedy," writes Mrs. T. R. Kendrick, Rosaca, Ga. "It is the best cough remedy on the market for coughs, colds and croup." For sale by all dealers.

HAS BEEN PLANKED

Two days, May first and second, have been appointed and set apart in Greenfield as cleaning up day and every person is asked to take an interest in the plan and assist the club ladies to make the city a prettier, healthier and better place to live,

The Federation of Woman's Clubs is at the bottom of the movement and the city officials will forward their plans in every way possible by furnishing teams, wagons and men to remove the rubbish as it is gathered up and placed in the alleys.

The mayor will issue a proclamation setting aside May first and second for this purpose. This plan has been followed the past two years and has proven a success. The people generally responded to the call and had the accumulated rubbish of the winter months gathered up in barrels and boxes and ready for the haulers when they made their rounds. In doing this the city will not only be made prettier but healthier by having all the winter's accumulation removed at once.

TEN YEAROLD GIRL

There was considerable of the miraculous in the escape of little Miss Marian West, the ten year old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Marshall West, from instant death under the wheels of a traction car at Maxwell Saturday morning. The little girl was going to a store and stepped on the track in front of the 7:45 west bound car, not withstanding the fact that several men standing near shouted a warning. The shouts and nearness of the car seemed to confuse her and she stopped in the center of the track when the car was almost upon her. While she seemed to be hesitating as to which way to turn, the car struck her and she was thrown on the cow-catcher, rolling off to the side of the track. The car was stopped within half length of itself and the conductor and motor man climbed off with blanched faces, expecting to find the mangled body of the child under the wheels of the car. She was not there and it was several minutes before they discovered that she had gotten to her faet, ran around the rear end of the car and continued on her errand to the store.

A dozen men who witnessed the accident, after shouting a warning and realizing that the accident was inevitable, closed their eyes to avoid witnessing what they thought woukl be the crushing out of a young life under the car wheels. When it was realized that the child was not hur except a few bruises, a great wave of relief swept over the crowd which the ,, shouts of the men had attracted and $££ek"w7o

the little girl was the center of a joyous crowd of men, women and children.
