Elsewhere in this paper we print a statement from Gen. A. L. New in regard to the new screen factory. Gen. New is the local director of the company, and his statement is made in answer to many inquiries of people who had subscribed for stock. Mr. New thinks the screens will have a ready sale a-s SOCT? as they are put on the market

There is a general movement throughout the entire country looking to community development. The large cities are especially active along that line and smaller cities have taken up the movement and are bending every effort towards special home development. Let Greenfield catch the spirit. Let her citizens unite their efforts and take advantage of every opportunity to add to and develop our city and county. By united effort much can be accomplished, which would not otherwise be accomplished.

Changes Insane Hospital Districts. Governor Marshall has issued an executive order, making a number of changes in the districts of the state for the hospitals for the insane. To the southeastern hospital, at Madison, have been added Harrison, Rush, Yigo, Fayette, Clay, Owen and Morgan counties. To the central hospital, in this city, have been added' Grant, Madison and White to the eastern, Lagrange, Steuben, Noble, Dekalb and Huntington. No new counties were added to the district of the southern hospital, at Evansville, but Harrison county was taken from the district. No new ones were added to the district of the northern hospital, but White, Lagrange, Steuben Noble, Dekalb and Huntington were taken away. The shifts were made to provide more convenience in the transfer of persons to the hospitals.

Crop Conditions.

The reports on the wheat crop are conflicting. Some farmers say that their wheat will not make more than six to seven bushels per acre. Some places it is reported fertilized wheat will not make more than ten to twelve bushels to the acre. Then again, quite a number of farmers claim that their prospects for wheat are good.

The oats are just beginning to head. They are exceedingly short and from present indications it would seem that the crop of oats would be very light.

There will not be a big hay harvest. The clover crop is not a good stand, and the timothy is going to be light on account of the dry weather.

The corn crop is looking surprisingly well, considering the dry weather. It is free from weeds and has been well tended. The stand is generally good, but the corn on clay ground is suffering from drought. The corn is very uneven—the black ground corn is much larger than the clay ground. The pastures are dry and yellow, and unless rain comes soon pastures are sure to be short. The new potato crop, as well as the crops of all kinds of vegetables, are being affected by the dry weather.

Must Cover the Rrcad.

Grocers of the state and others who handle bread for sale have been advised by H. E. Barnard, pure food and drug inspector of the Indiana State Board of Health, that they must comply strictly with the law in the matter of bread boxes in their respective places of business. The law requires that such boxes must be cleaned each day and sterilized at least once each week. In a letter sent out to grocers and others throughout Indiana, Mr. Barnard declares that he intends to stringently enforce this law. He says the deputy pure food inspectors in different parts of the state have found numerous bread boxes that are unsanitary and unclean.

Friends Re-Employ Pastor. Carthage Citizen. At the last monthly meeting of friends Rev. C. O. Whitely was reemployed as pastor of the local church, his ninth year of service here to begin October 1st. Rev. Whitely had been considering propositions from other meetings, but the pastoral committee here took the above action in compliance with directions from the yearly meeting, which advised that pastoral change be not often made. It would be difficult to find a more active pastor than Rev. Whitely. Mrs. Whitely's ability in music and her willingness to sing for religious services and for occasions both sad and glad, have been greatly ap«preciated

Lodge Hali, June 6, 1911.

To the Officers and Members of Hancock Lodge, No. 101, F. and A. M.:

Your committee to whom was assigned the duty of preparing a formal expression of the sentiment of the Lodge in memory of our lately deceased Brother Nelson Bradley, have prepared and herewith submit the following

Memorial.

Brother Nelson Bradley was born in Clermont county, in the State of Ohio, on the 19th day of May, 1822. In the year 1852 he removed from the State of his nativity to the State of Indiana, and located in the town of McCordsville in his, Hancock county, where he continued to reside until some time in the year 1866, when he removed to and became a citizen of the town (now city) of Greenfield, wherein he continued to reside until he attained the ripe old age of 88 years, 11 months and 17 days, when, on the 6th day of May, 1911, he departed this life.

Brother Bradley was made a Master Mason in Georgetown Lodge No. 72, F. and A. M., of Georgetown, in the State of Ohio, in the month of February, 1847, having presumably taken the preceding degrees in the same Lodge prior thereto.

During the year 1853, the year following his location in this county, McCordsville Lodge No. 140, F. and A. M., was organized. Of this Lodge he was a charter member, and he was its first Junior Warden. This Lodge was afterwards, during the year of its organization, removed to the town of Oakland, in Marion county, and renamed Oakland Lodge, No. 140, retaining its original number. Upon a dimit from this last named Lodge, Brother Bradley was admitted to membership in this, Hancock Lodge, No. 101, on the ,2d day of April, 1868. And so it appears that he was a member of our fraternity for more than sixty-four years. Forty-three years, one month and four days he was a member of this Lodge, of which he was, at the time of his decease, the Treasurer, which office he had been successively elected to and had continuously held for more than forty years. This last mentioned fact being one of the many evidences of the high esteem in which he was held by those who knew him best.

Brother Bradley was a man of more than ordinary proportions, both mentally and physically. His six feet in height, his broad shoulders, his erect carriage, his large and well formed head, and his strong and forceful face, combined to give him such a commanding presence that he was a marked man when present upon any occasion in any gathering of men. He was a man of large business capacity, and by reason of his sound judgment and strict integrity in the conduct of the various enterprises in which lie engaged—and they were many— he acquired a handsome competency. And we venture the assertion that it would be next to the impossible to point to a single incident in his long and active business career, that, properly understood, would suggest a suspicion of an immoral purpose, or a dishonest motive, on his part. Such reverses as he may have experienced in any of his business affairs were attributable to misplaced confidence in the repreentations of his supposed friends, rather than to mistakes of his own judgment.

Brother Bradley was possessed of a broad, benevolent nature, and his donations for charitable purposes were numerous and liberal. He was a large contributor to funds for building churches, and for maintenance of the Christian ministry, not limiting his gifts to the particular

denomnation of which he was a member. Ancl in matters pertaining to our beloved Order he was generous to a fault and his exceptionally large financial aid was a notable factor in promoting the building and furnishing of the magnificent Temple now owned and occupied by our Lodge and as a fitting recognition of the generous spirit he manifested in this regard, a memorial window containing his portrait—a fine and life-like representation of his noble face and bust —was placed in our Lodge Hall when the same was completed, and where it remains to keep his memory green with those of us whom good fortune kindly favored with his fraternal association and personal friendship, and, also, to stimulate those who shall come after us, to learn, by inquiry, of the beneficent and upright character of the departed Brother whom it represents. And as we meet here from time to time in the future, whether engaged in working out the designs that may be placed on the trestle board for our solution, or during the hours in which we are called from labor to refreshment, may we from frequent contemplation of that picture and the admirable characteristics of him whose remembrance it perpetuates, gather encouragement and the additional strength to emulate the example his life affords us in the exemplification of the principles of our beloved Order.

THE WAY IT WAS STATED MADE ALL THE DIFFERENCE

Stokes Jackson Made Tart Remark When Asked Concerning Finly Gray's Residence.

The Washington correspondent of The Indianapolis News says: U. Stokes Jackson—he has added the twenty-first letter of the alphabet to his name since he became sergeant-at-arms of the House—was wrought up last week because Representative Finly H. Gray, of the Sixth district, sidestepped the delegation and declined to support the wool schedule bill in the Democratic caucus. When Representative Moss learned that Gray was the only member of the Indiana delegation that did not intend to favor a tariff for revenue only on raw wool, he summoned Representative Cline to try to win him over. Mr. Cline's pleadings did no good, so the representative of the Twelfth district called up Mr. Jackson. The sergeant-at-arms was at home and in bed when the telephone rang.

He talked to Mr. Cline and then to Mr. Gray, and seeing he could do no good at long range, dressed and went to the capitol.

As soon as Mr. Jackson entered the caucus room he got Gray off to one side and tried his best to line him up with the other members of the delegation. The representative from Connefsville, however, was obdurate and standing alone he announced that he reserved the right to support or oppose any amendments to the bill that he chose, if he deemed it wise. Several members of the New York delegation twitted the other Indiana represen tatives about the split in the In diana crowd, and Representative Harrison remarked to Mr. Jackson: "Stokes, you live in Gray's district back in Indiana, don't you?" "No," replied the former chairman of the Democratic State Committee, whose home is in Greenfield, "he lives in my district."

Resolutions of Respect. We, the members of the Greenfield Methodist Protestant Sunday School, beg to submit the following resolutions of respect on the death of our sister, Mae Anderson:

That, whereas, it has been the will of an all-wise God to remove from our Sunday school a beloved member and classmate,

Resolved, that in the death of our sister, Mae, the school has suffered the loss of a faithful and useful member and the class a devoted and loving classmate.

Be it resolved, That we, the members of this Sunday school, tender to the family our heartfelt sympathy in this, their sad affliction and bereavement.

Resolved, That a copy of these resolutions be spread on the minutes of our school and that a copy be sent to the bereaved family.

Ill 640 DOZEN

A Good Showing For Huckster and His Many Farm Patrons in the Southern Part of County.

Ed Walsh, who has been running a huckster wagon at Philadelphia for seven years, was in Greenfield Saturday. He said that recently he gathered up 640 dozen eggs, which, on being tested, developed only six bad ones. He' thinks that is a good showing, and that there is nothing in it to alarm the friends of the prue food laws. The eggs were gathered throughout the county south of Philadelphia and as far east as Westland.

A Popular Song.

Jerome H. Remick & Co., of 131 West 41st street, New York, have just published a new song entitled "My Rosary," which is becoming very popular. TJiis has had one of the greatest sales of any song published for some time, and the sales have already run into the thousands. This is a new musical setting to the famous poem of Robert Cameron Rogers by Samuel H. Speck.

We call especial attention to J. E. Frost's advertisement found elsewhere in this paper. He is advertising farms in Michigan and offering some good inducements to the farmers to locate there. 4 S

HOG RECEIPTS, 17,000

j"rV '•jf

LARGEST SINCE 1908.

More Than Ever Received in One

Day in June—Prices 5 to 15

Cents Lower.

Receipts, 17,000 hogs, 2,100 cattle and 900 sheep, against 11„303 hogs, 2,213 cattle and 663 sheep a week ago, and 6,171 hogs, 1,959 cattle and 334 sheep a year ago.

Receipts of hogs were the largest for a single day since December 8, 1908, and there were more than ever before received in on? day in June. The big run was a strong factor in favor of the buying side and liberal receipts elsewhere were also helpful to buyers. It required more time than usual to reach a trading basis, but with a good demand from all sources, there was a prompt clearance at $6.10 for all weights, a loss of 5c to 15c. The decline since Monday has been 20c.

More cattle arrived than at this time in the week recently, and there was also a larger proportion of good kinds. There was less vim in the trading than there has been for several days. Prices compared favorably with the close of last week. For the less desirable cattle the tendency was weak and thesales were 10c lower. There was little doing in the stocker and feeder market bulls were as low as they have been, and calves 25c lower.

There was a comparatively good' run nlive mutton stock, fully asmany as the trade required. Buyers were slow and the market was not as good as recently. There was a smaller proportion of spring lambs sold at the top price, $6.50 many more at $6.25, with common as low as $4.50. Clipped lambs and yearlings sold at $5.00, and culls to good fat ewes at $1.50 and $3.50.
