PUBLISHED EVERY THURSDAY.

Entered at the postoffice, Greenfield, Ind., as •eoond class matter.

NEWTON R. SPENCER, Editor and Proprietor.

The Greenfield Military Band is now thoroughly reorganized and in position to give the best musical entertainment that it ever did. It would be a good time for the business men to arrange with it for a band concert once a week. There are many people who would co:ue to Greenfield at night during the summer season, who cannot come during the day. If the stores are open they will come and the band concert would furnish additional attraction to them.

Most Republicans are neither Stand-pat nor Insurgent. They are progressive enough to keep up with the political changes of the country, and not radical enough to break away from all the old principles of their party. This class of Republicans are well enough satisfied with President Taft to seek to renominate him for President in 1912. He comes nearer representing what the great majority of his party stands for than any other prominent Republican of the country. It now looks like he would le nominated.

There will be no tariff legislation this term, though President Taft would probably sign a new bill to take the place of the Payne-Al-drich bill if he could get what he wanted. The Republican Senate, however, will not let the bill which" the Democratic House passes go to the President. The action on the tariff question, however, will enable the Democratic party to show the country how it stands on the tariff. The effect of such a policy upon the business may probably be seen even before any effective action is taken. There always have been depressions in business when tariff laws on revenue basises were in force. It remains to be seen whether history will again repeat itself. There are many people who now insist that the reduction in prices at this time is due to the threatened change in the tariff laws.

It can not be denied that corn, hogs, cattle, sheep and horses are not as high priced, nor as ready sale as they were a year ago.

The four year term in office rule, which has been in force in Hancock county for several years, has finally been broken. The man who was able to break the rule, which was thought to be so firmly established, was George Richman, the newlyelected county superintendent. His terms were not in succession. The term of Mr. Larrabee intervened. The four year rule was not established by any public or convention action. It was established by the general consent of the masses of the majority party in Hancock county. Neither has the rule been absolute. The judgeship has always, prior to the term of Judge Mason, been filled by men who had previously been prosecuting attorney.

But no judge has been re-elected to the judgeship since the rule has been recognized, though the late Judge Offutt and Judge E. W. Felt each desired a second term, the latter withdrawing before the nominating convention of his party presumably on account of the strong sentiment in favor of one term and the passing around of the public offices. Hon. Harry Strickland also proved an exception to the rule and is serving his third term as representative.

While these exceptions to the rule have occurred, there is no doubt about the fact that the rule is pretty well established. Quite a number of officers have entertained a strong desire for a second fouryear term, but most of them found the sentiment so strong that they decided not to seek it.

Charles Downing was the last County Clerk who served eight years the late Lawrence Boring was the last, Auditor who served two terms, and James Thomas was the last Recorder re-elected to a second term. The late A. Y. B. Sample sought the renominafion for Clerk, but was defeated by Win. A. Wood, and Raleigh Sit,'011 contested'for a second term as County Recorder, but Wm. It. White was nominated in his stead.

Quite, a number of officers have voluntarily retired at the end of four years without asking for renomination. Among them are: Charles J. Richman, Wm. I. Garriott, Wm. R. White, Edward Jacobs, O. II. Monger, Charles L. Tindall, A. C. Yan Duyn, Wm. A. Wood, John M. Hall, Wm. A. Service, George W. Ham, J. A. Flippo, T. N. Jackson and the late Theodore Smith. Of course it remains to be seen if the rule has been weakened by the ex-

ceptions which have recently occurred. It is pretty safe to predictthat the tendency is to strengthen, rather than weaken, the rule. The feeling is pretty general that "if public office is a good thing, pass it around, and if it is a bad thing, do not impose it too long upon one person, but also pass it around." Of course it is generally regarded a good thing and a position worth seeking, and therefore those who have enjoyed the benefits and profits of public position, should stand, aside for those who are equally well qualified and have never held public office. To fair-minded persons the rule is a good one, and appeals strongly everywhere to the voters. There are plenty of citizens who are just as capable of filling public office as those in office, or who have been in office and it is fortunate that such is the case.

The new four-year rule is much better than the old rule, which in some places, not only re-elected men to two terms in office, but frequently elected him to different offices—like Sheriff two terms, and Auditor two terms, as has been known io occur in some other counties.

New Juvenile Fiction.

The publishing of the Girl Aviators by Hurst & Co., 395 Broadway, New York, marks a new era in girls' books. There are at this time many books being written for boys on air ships, motorcycles and auto stories, but few of these are for girls, so this one will be read and appreciated by the girls.

Among other new series by this same publishing house are Motor Maids series, Boy Scout series, the Dreadnought series, Motor Rangers, Bungalow Boys, and Border Boys' series. All these books are of the very best juvenile fi/tion and are sold at 50 cents per volume, and are of the highest grade, such as most other publishers sell at $1.25 and $1.50 per volume. These books descr-ibe the navy, the men, the ships, the huge guns, the submarine auxiliaries and hundreds of other things. There is not a volume but what would be good for any child to read.

Get the first volume of any of these series and read it then you will want another. You can get them direct from the publishers through your local dealer d&w

NO REASON FOR II

When

Greenfield Citizens Show the Way.

There can be no reason why any reader of this paper will continue tc suffer the tortures of an aching back, the annoyance of urinary disorders, the dangers of serious kidney ills when relief is so near at hand and the most positive proof given that these can be cured. Read what a Greenfield citizen says:

Mrs.M. L. Newhouse, 609 N. State Street, Greenfield. Ind., says: "I have the utmost confidence in Doan's Kidney Pills, having used them with satisfactory results. I was srbject to attacks of kidney complaints for five or six years and recently my condi tion became worse, my back was lame and ached a great deal and I had other difficulties which proved that my kidneys were at fault. On a neighbor's advise, I procured a supply of Doan's Kidney Pills at Q,uigley,s Drug Store and they proved so beneficial from the first that I continued taking them. The contents of four boxes entirely relieved the pain in my back and restored my kidneys to a normal condition. I know that Doan's

Kidney Pills are an effective kidney medicine an am therefore pleased to recommend them.''

THE JOHNSON FLY TRAP

The size of the trap is 2 ft. 9 in. 16 in. 17 in.

No Flies on The Johnson Fly Trap. They Are In It.

The trap is simple in construction, consisting of only two parts,

base and top. The fly goes in at the base to the bait and then up into the top, where

it dies in a short time. To cleanse trap set on paper, remove top by loosening two latches, when flies will roll off base on paper so that they can easily be gathered

up and burned, or otherwise disposed of. Replace top, add a few drops of Johnson's fly bait. That is all done in a minute.

The greatest question now con­

fronting the boards of health is how to do away with the fly. The Merchants' Association of New York, composed of the great merchants of that city, with J. Pier-

pont Morgan as one of the members of the committee, decided that the best thing the Merchants' Association could do for New York would be to fight Hies. It seems, if such business men as Morgan, Lord & Taylor, Wanamaker, etc., believe it

is economy and wise business to fight flies, that the business men everywhere would do well to follow.

In a speech upon fighting flies, Mr. Morgan said: "Our city and all cities and towns must learn that success depends upon the doing of innumerable little things. However, the fighting of flies is not a

little thing, but, on the contrary, is a big one." The nearest and best solution after cleaning up and keeping clean, is the use of Johnson's Fly Trap. All other methods require that the

medium used be placed in places of

of flies. The Johnson Fly Trap is

different. The trap is pla

UNSOLICITED RECOMMENDATIONS 1IIOM HOME PEOPLE-

The Vacuum Refrigerator Co., Greenfield, Ind.

Dear Sirs:—We, the undersigned Board of Health of the City of Greenfield, Ind., recommend the Johnson Fly Trap as both sanitary and effective. It was in operation at a number of places in our city last summer. It draws flies out of the place of business, so that the contents of the places are not contaminated or covered with the flies.

We believe that if every home and place of business would use this trap the fly question would, in a large measure, be settled.

Yours truly, Earl R. Gibbs, Pres.

Result, the llies swarmed in the trap from the store and fruit stand in front of the store. By placing one in front of store and one at back my place of business was practically free from Hies. The rap is no trouble and does the work. Chas. E. Vaughn.
