An Old Almanac.
W. H. Fred, of Route 1, out of McCordsville, was in Greenfield a few days ago. He is a son of the late Israel Fred, who came writh his parents from Fairmount county, Ohio, to Warren county, Indiana, when he was 10 years old.
At the age of 20 he married and bought forty acres of land in Hancock county, south of McCordsville. He afterward sold this farm and purchased another farm on which he lived for twenty years, when he moved to McCordsville.
The son has a Farmers and Mechanics German English Almanac, which was published by Ellis Claflin & Co., Dayton, Ohio, in 1848. This book, which is more than sixty years old, was found among the papers of the father, after his death.
About the only pictures in it are the old spinning wheel, the anvil and the saw and hammer. There is only one patent medicine advertisement in it. In that respect it is very different from modern almanacs. Much of the reading in the almanac relates to revolution events.
String of Young Racers. Mack Warrum has a string of eight young horses in training at the old fair ground track. Among them are Tymore, by Jaymore, son of Jay Bird—dam by Moko. This horse is 4 years old and a trotter.
A pacing filly by Post Breezedam by Brussels, owned by Jesse F. Anderson, gives good promise of making a race mare.
Little Jack, by Richard Earl— dam, Jim Monroe, is a 3-year-old pacer, owned by Robert Brown. He is showing good speed.
Derby, by Richard Earle—dam by son of Joe Patchen, has shown a 2:08 clip. He is a pacer, and is owned by Frank Martindale, of R. R. 8.
Colonel, by Nutbert, son of Nutwood—dam untraced, is a 4-year-old pacer, owned by William F. Thomas, of Rural Route 1. He has gone a half at an 18 clip.
Babe, by CoaStman, 2:08*4—dam, Coldridge, 2:05, is a 5-year-old pacer of good prospects, owned by Henry Hubig.
Last and least is a yearling colt by Newton King—dam by Iowa Sentinel. This colt was recently converted to the pacing gait. It has gone an eighth in 22 seconds.
Mr. Warrum is much pleased with the condition of all his young drivers, and with the improvement they are making.
New Cases Filed.
Mae M. Brown vs. John P. Koehler suit on account for $300. Venued from Marion county.
The Greenfield Commercial Club vs. Elmer E. Gant. Suit for $1,100 on subscription for stock in the American Roller Screen and Stamping Company.
Death of Young Lady.
Miss Elvira Smith, age 35 years, daughter of the late Robert J. Smith died at 4 o'clock Tuesday morning, at the home in Buck Creek township. Funeral Thursday at 10:30 a m., at the Amity church, with Rev. H. W. Robbins officiating. Interment at the Burris cemetery.
The Value of Quail.
Scientific investigations have now shown that each live quail is worth about $15 to the farmers on account of the harmful and destructive insects it consumes. That same quail is worth 50 cents for its delicate meat. I like quail as well as anybody else, but I don't like helping to kill off these birds when their slaughter is a clear loss of something like $14.50 each to the community.—Prof. H. M. Benedict, Ohio
at the family home, one mile east and one and three-fourths miles north of Gem, and Stop 34 on Traction line four and one-half miles southwest of Mohawk and three and one-half miles southeast of Mt. Comfort, Friday, August 18, 1911. d&w
Death Neap Willow Branch. Mrs. John N. Spegal, one mile west of Willow Branch, died Friday evening from a complication of diseases, of some three months' duration. She leaves a husband, one son and one daughter.
Local Stock Yards.
J. K. P. Martindale shipped a car load of cattle from this city today. Kem Derry, of Jackson township, also shipped a car load of hogs.

A Word to Young Men
We wish every young man in this town and county could start a bank account with us. It would mean much to us but more to them.
What a recommendation it would be for our town could we say to the world that every young man carried a bank account. It would be more to the town than to advertise we have the greatest college on earth.
Young men, come in and let us talk this over with you.

Enjoyed By Members of the Prairie Branch and Shiloh Companies.
Friday afternoon at 1 o'clock the Prairie Branch and Shiloh threshing companies, whose thresherman for the past few years has been L. M. Mansfield, met on the beautiful lawn of the Shiloh school house for a union picnic.
The earlier part of the afternoon was spent in settling up the difference in their threshing wrork, during which time a great deal of "chicken feed" was exchanged. The next thing on program was a number of exciting games of horse shoe. Henry. Windhorst w?as unanimously chosen champion player, after several most sensational games, which caused the old players to sit up and take notice to the way he landed those shoes. Some attributed his success to the strength of the cigars which he smoked.
Refreshments were served, consisting of fifteen gallons of ice cream, with twenty-five cakes, ten large watermelons, an abundance of

nies, Orlando Franklin Addison and Marquis L. Jones. Those present were Ed Macy, Carl Harding, Bert Kcaton, John McQueeney, O. F. Addison, Henry S. Windhorst, James Tyner, Herman Hill, Morton Allender, Grover Wick1 iff, Lewis Unrue, Bert Bennett, D. G. Jackson, D. H. Gates, N. T. Foster, Floy Sutton, Alfred Wilhelm, Joe Roberts, John Huffman, E.

A Pretty Income For Life. Would you like to leave a loved one an income of $25 per month for life? You can do so on a fair salary, by paying a small amount each year, payments to cease at your death.
You thus guarantee a loved one an untaxable estate. Relieved of all worry and annoyance incident to investments, the beneficiary escapes the woe, heartache and sufferings that many an indifferent husband and father wills his loved ones at his death.
You may deposit your payments quarterly, semi-annually or annually. You not only throw the mantle of protection over your ioved ones, but you are laying by a snug sum for the rainy day in your own life, if it should ever corne.
YOU CAN NOT LOSE. This magnificent contract is backed by an institution that has over $75,000,000 of assets, and over $7,000,000 surplus to guard against any shrinkage.
This is the day of opportunity. Grasp it. No stock proposition no uncertainty ABSOLUTELY SURE.
