MUCH TO GREENFIELD.

To Melt the Glass For Indefinite Period—New Well With Good Pressure Drilled in Today—

Three Splendid Wells Now Yielding Fuel.

Charles Townsend announced to•day that the bottle factory in the •east part of the city will resume operations in every department next .month, with a full force of hands.

This means work at good wages for over a hundred hands. The factory will start again under very favorable conditions. They have an unlimited supply of natural gas fuel with which to melt the glass in the •tanks and for other purposes.

Another well, with good pressure, was drilled in on the farm of William Elsbury, southeast of the city 'today. This makes three good wrells, 4wo on the Moorehead farm having •been completed some time ago. One of these, the first, was an extra good well, the pressure being as •strong as the best wells when the field was first opened here.

The last well, completed today, .gives promise of being even better than the first, and tlie three wells •will supply ample fuel for the factory, although. Mr. Townsend expects to sink another well.

The opening of this factory will foe a big boost for Greenfield, employing considerable labor, as it •does.

CANDLE EGGS ON

Up-to-date Method of Testing Eggs L'sed Ry Mohawk Huckster— Has Electric Ratterv.

Ernest Chappel, of Mohawk, who runs a huckster wagon, tests the eggs he buys while on his route.

He carries a dry electric battery, and candling outfit, and wiien he buys a batch of eggs, he gives them a test right on the wagon.

The new law regarding the sale and offering for sale of bad eggs, is no joke to the dealers and they are careful about buying eggs which they do not know to be fresh.

The Hesperian Club had a very pleasant day Friday at the home of Mrs. H. B. Thayer, on West Main street. For a year the ladies had planned to surprise Mrs. Thayer, and now that she soon leaves for Arizona, the arrangements were made for yesterday. In order that it might be carried out completely, Mrs. E. B. Howard gave an 11 o'clock breakfast in honor of Mrs. Thayer and a few of her friends. In the meantime the Hesperian ladies, with their well-filled baskets, slipped into the Thayer home, and when the mistress arrived she found the parlor well filled with her friends waiting to greet her.

Dinner w7as served at 1 o'clock from two large tables, beautifully decorated with roses. Just as the ladies were sitting down to dinner Colonel Thayer arrived from Carp Lake, and writh his mother, was a guest of honor. Mrs. Patterson, of Indianapolis Miss Etta Barrett and Mrs. Alice Matlock were also the guests of the club.

After dinner the story hour was observed, and w7hen the ladies bade Mrs. Thayer good by they left a number of "train letters" for her perusal during her journey to the West.

The Ladies' Bible Class of the Presbyterian church entertained their husbands and families and some invited guests at a picnic supper Thursday afternoon at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Earl Judy, residing on the George Cooper farm wrest of the city. The guests assembled on the lawn, where games were indulged in. Those present were Mr. and Mrs. Judy, Mr. and Mrs. Dr. Barnes, Mr. and Mrs. 0. N. Dugan, .Air. and Mrs.'William A.

There were six-ty-five present, and at 5 o'clock the tables were spread and they fairly groaned with their weight of good things to eat. At 6 o'clock the tables ceased groaning, but there were moanings elsewhere. There were deviled eggs and angel cake, good enough to make one quake and salads and pickles and olives round, to make one swreet is they're not sound and cottage cheese and omelet, too, and potato chips all the way through. There were jellies and beans and cookies and tarts everybody ate them because they were smart. There w:ere pressed chickens, bananas and candy, that always come in quite handy there was coffee, elegant and hot, that surely did reach the right spot There was salt-rising and spongebread and rolls, that was as fine as ever w7as sold, and last, ice cream came it for its share, to make the supper come out square. The supper was served in picnic style, so all could laugh and talk and smile. The class membership is sixty-five. Mrs. Dr. Groff is teacher, Mrs. W. II. Stewart, treasurer Mrs. John Bolim, secretary, Mrs. W. A. Hughes chairman of the social committee. Mr. and Mrs. Judy proved themselves capable of making the afternoon's pleasures a success. They neither spared time nor work to make the picnic one of the most delightful of June socials.

A basement under the entire house, walled with cement blocks.

The house has a cement block foundation and a slate roof. In fact, it w?ould be an elegant city home, but one does not expect to find sucha home in Browm county. It is situated on one of the most beautiful spots in the state. On a clear day the following towns and cities in six counties can be seen: Indianapolis, Martinsville, Bloomington, Columbus, Edinburg and Franklin. "Bear Wallow" is visited by tourists from all over the United States.

When the orchard begins to bear they will remain there the entire year. They are enjoying the best of health and are fond of Belmar. This name was derived from their names, Isabelle and Marcus.

Mr. Dickey is still doing literary work and "Belmar'' is an ideal spot for his pursuits.

Mr. and Mrs. Dugan also visited friends in Columbus on their way home. Their Lambert car came clipping into Greenfield as fresh as if it had never climbed the Brown county hills.

HOME

RAISE

JAMES N. GOBLE AND SHERIFF JESSE COX SOLICITED FUNDS AND STARTED HOBART

HOPE HOMEWARD.

BOY WAS ANXIOUS TO RETURN

Was Broken Up By His Mother's Letter and Promised to Go Home and Behave in the

Future Left Here Tuesday Night.

After the court discharged Hobart Hope, finding that he had no jurisdiction in the matter, James N. Goble and Sheriff Jesse Cox, not wanting to turn the boy adrift, started out Tuesday afternoon to solicit funds to pay the boy's way back to his home at Paris, Texas.

They found people sympathetic', and ready to assist in the worthy cause and soon had the required amount, something over $10, which the ticket cost, and enough extra to keep the boy in sandwiches during the journey.

The boy was very anxious to return home, after his mother's letter was read to him, and did not want to continue on to Buffalo, N. Y., where he had started. He was placed on the night train Tuesday night and started on his long journey and promised Mr. Goble that he would go home and do right, and would write to him wiien he arrived.

BIG CELEBRATION AT

Preparations For Fourth of July Celebration at McCordsville Are Being Completed.

Another big Fourth of July celebration has been planned to be held in McCord's Park, near McCordsville and from the length of the program a fine time can be expected by the people. The Fortville Tribune says of the program:

Five hundred dollars will be given away in purses and prizes. The big event of the day will be a 2:17 pacing race, three mile-heats in five for $200. Other numbers on the racing program will be a trot for road horses, road race for pacers, running race and a 2-year-old pace or trot.

Other features will be mule races, motorcycle races, ball games, band concerts, ball throwing for girls, jumping contests, and last but not least the pie and cracker-eating contests.

A large grand stand has been erected with seating capacity for 700 people. The committee is busy arranging the program, and no doubt will succeed in making one that will be worth while. Judging from the great success of the one pulled off there last year, we can assure the public a grand entertainment this year. A small admission fee will be charged at the gate.

TRE SCHOOL BOARDS ARE GIVEN ADVICE

Concerning Employing of Teachers Who Have Poor Health— Strain Too Great For Them.

Within the nexUfew weeks teachers for all the public schools in the state will have been selected. The township, city and town trustees are making these selections now. The State Board of Health after a study of disease, health and death statistics concerning public schools, extending over several years, has issued a suggestion to school officials against the employment of teachers who are not physically well, on the theory that the teacher should teach and exemplify health as wrell as culture, and that a teacher who is constantly "out of sorts," because of ill health, can not teach pupils properly and cannot render value received for the money paid her by the state. The suggestion is contained in a formal statement issued by the board, in part as follows: "The teaching of children should not be done by ill or diseasesd teachers. School work surely suffers if the teacher is not strong and healthy. If a teacher be nervous or irritable, he or she will do harm to the dispositions of the pupils. In Indiana the ill rate and death rate is higher among teachers than in general life. This is almost certainly because there are so many unsanitary school houses. "By spring most teachers 'show the strain.' That is, they have lost health. They usually have lost color and weight they sleep poorly they have little appetite, and perhaps a 'slight cough' (consumption has appeared). In general life one death in 8.7 is from consumption, and among teachers it is one to six, the invalidism and death which the teachers endure on account of unsanitary school houses. But teachers are like most of us not until they discover that the awful disease has attacked them do they realize that their opportunity has been lost. "A teacher should pass a physical examination as well as one intended to discover mental and educational fitness. They should have a good heart, good lungs, good eyes, good teeth, a straight spine, good digestion, straight body, good hearing, normal sealpulae, a good speaking voice, good nerves, etc.''
