RE1I. CHESTEEN SMITH 6ETS HieH HONOR

Former Greenfield Man Elected Delegate to General Conference of Methodist CUurch at Minneapolis, Minn., in May.

The annual "North Indiana Methodist Episcopal Conference, in' session at Wabash, conferred a high honor on the Rev. Chesteen \Y. Smith, of Anderson, a former Greenfield man, a son of the late William G. Smith, by electing him as one of the six delegates to the General Conference of the Methodist Church at Minneapolis, to be held in May. •Rev. Smith received a vote of 99 with 92 necessary to a choice, 011 the second ballot. Only three other pastors received more than fifty votes. They were Rev. C. E. Line, Rev. W. W. Martin, both former pastors of the Greenfield church, and Rev. B. C. Cissell. Line received 82 votes, Martin 82 and Cissell 52.

Rev. Leslie J. Naftzger, of this city, presided yesterday at the celebration of the anniversary of the Methodist Hospital at Indianapolis. The subscription of $50,000, the alloted portion of the North Indiana Methodist Episcopal Conference toward the proposed new home for nurses of Methodist hospitals, was asked by W\ E. McKenzie, D. D., of Indianapolis, field agent for the Methodist Hospital. The Rev. Mr. McKenzie found the conference in hearty accord with his proposal and indications are that the ministers will readily meet the task placed before them.

In his address to the assembled churchmen the Indianapolis man declared that the movement will necessitate an expenditure of $150,000. The purpose of the church, he said, is to provide a home for the nurses who have spent a greater part of their lives in the care of patients in Methodist Hospitals.

Conserve Claimant's Fund* The following resolution was adopted at this morning's session and will affect many of the ministers in the conference: "The district superintendents and board of stewards of the Northern Indiana Conference, desiring that the purpose and spirit of the church may be more adequately expressed in an equitable and just distribution of the conference funds, after careful thought, do hereby present the following recommendations for the approval of the conference: "That all claimants whose income frcm other sources affords them a comfortable support be, and are, earnestly requested to relinquish their claims on the annuity fund. That in the statement for the annuity fund under item 7, each claimant shall state as accurately as possible his net income for the current conference year. "This must not include what he received from the conference funds whe^ the last annual distribution was made. That all claimants whose net income from other sources, plus their annuity, may be more than one-half of the average cash salary of the district superintendent's and pastors in the 'effective relation' shall receive only such part of their annuity as will make the total income equal to the one-half of the aforesaid cash salary."

Mrs. E. F. Schultz, Fort WTayne, Ind., says: "I suffered severely with kidney trouble, the pains in my back were almost unbearable and the kidney action was irregular and painful. I took Foley Kidney Pills and in a short time I was completely cured." M. C. Quigley.

THE DIFFERENCE IN BREEDING STALLIONS.

There are thousands of well-bred stallions in this country today, but how many of them are good breeders? The really high-class speedproducing stallions are very scarce and they can be counted on your fingers. If it is the height of your ambition just to breed to get a colt, then most any old horse will do. but if your ambition is to get a colt with speed, good show-ring qualities, and one that somebody else will like besides you, breed your mare to a horse that is producing speed, as well as other good qualities. The up-to-date breeder of today will not patronize a stallion after he is nine years old, unless he has shown beyond a reasonable doubt that he is a producer of speed. A good illustration in regard to producing speed is shown in the two full brothers. Barnhart 2:23%, and Allerton 2:09% Barnhart was a failure as a speed producer, as at the age of 20 years, he has only four in the 2:30 list, while his brother. Allerton, 2:09%, has 235 in standard time.

Out of Richard Earle's first crop of colts, 15 in number. 7 of them were trained last year at three-year-olds, and they all showed extreme speed. Richard Earle. is one of the very few stallions that is gifted with the power to produce speed, and has shown his ability as a great sire at the age of seven. His son, Early Dreams, has shown

BOTTLE HOUSE TO SHUT DOWN

Another Shirley Factory Will Be Dark, Due to Shortage of Orders.

Shirley indeed seems to be unfortunate, says the Shirley News. Closely following the destruction of the radiator plant by fire and its removal to Beech Grove, comes the announcement that the plant of the Woodbury Glass Company here will suspend operations Saturday until the first of next September. This means that 250 to 300 people will be thrown out of employment, which, in addition to the 160 losing their places by the burning of the radiator plant, gives us quite an army of unemployed. However, the business men and citizens are not as much discouraged as many people would think and are now more determined than ever to locate a new industry and are willing and ready to give financial aid to any manufacturing enterprise. A shortage of orders is given as the reason or os in a A

SHIRLEY.

Last Sunday was an ideal spring day and it looked as though all of the people in Shirley were out enjoying the beautiful sunshine.

J. L. Copeland, of Kennard, the Greensboro township trustee, was in Shirley Sunday.

The dedication of the Christian church at Kennard last Sunday was postponed indifinitely on account of bad weather.

The Greenfield authorities made their second raid on the Shirley blind tigers Saturday. They found a large quantity of booze.

D. Gabrielle. who has been running a grocery on railroad street for some time past, has decided to move his stock to Maple Valley.

The Shirley glass factory shut down last Saturday for an indefinite time. They expect to start again the first of September, possibly before if the demand for bottles is increased. This threw many men and boys out of employment and they are all leaving for other bottle factories in different localities.

Harry Spangler has accepted a traveling position with the S. Chaska Co., Fort Wayne. He left Sunday night for Ft. Wayne. He expects to have this territory and will make Shirley every month. He will still make Shirley his home, and will be here every Saturday and Sunday. Ross, his younger brother, wil take his place in their store here.

Shirley now has one of the finest barber shops in the state. It occupies the William Reddington building on North Main street.

Abe Houck recently purchased a residence property from Bob Holms on North Main street. He is making some changes and adding more to the property, and when completed will make a model home.

Roy Abling, who has been at Terre Haute, was home over Sunday visiting his parents.

The Honey Bee was well patronized last Saturday with passengers. It seemed that everybody was enjoying the first beautiful Sunday.

C. Ponti and family, of New Orleans, La., was here visiting his sister. Mrs. David Frazier. last week.

FARMERS HAVE A BUSY SEASON AHEAD OF THEM

When Spring Weather Does Set in There Will Be Plenty to Do.

The farmers are behind with their work. There has been but very little plowing done since last fall. There was practically no winter plowing. This condition is in great contrast with a year ago. There was a great deal of winter plowing last year, and many farmers had all their breaking done by April 1st, and the oats were also sown. It is true that the corn last year was not planted early, but that was due to unfavorable spring weather. So far no oats have been sown. When settled spring weather does arrive, the farmers will be rushed with their work to their full capacity. With nothing done and a desire to put in an exceptionally large crop, they will sure be required to work overtime to get their work done.

There is every reason to anticipate the putting out of a big crop this year. There is no surplus of corn, oats or hay this spring, and more farmers than usual have been compelled to buy feed for their stock. This has consumed the surplus. and a fair price is guaranteed to the farmers for the products they raise this season

Fails to Enter Army.

Russell Foust, of Carthage, was recently examined in Knightstown and in Indianapolis for admission into the regular army, and was then sent to Columbus, Ohio, for final examination. He had been measured for his uniform and preparations had been made for his departure for Key West, Fla., when the physician noticed a nervous twitching of the neck. This disqualified him and he was rejected. Though bitterly disappointed, young Foust says he will try again..

troubled with constipation, and have tried many remedies, all of which seemed to cause pain without giving much relief. I finally tried Dr. Miles' Laxative Tablets and found them excellent. Their action is pleasant and mild, and their chocolate taste makes them easy to take. I am more than glad to recommend them." "Clean up the bowels and keep them clean," is the advice of all physicians, because they realize the danger resulting from habitual constipation.

10 THIRDS OF THE WHEAT IS RUINED

By Severe Winter. According to Wm. Redenbaugh, a St. Paul Fertilizer Agent.

William Redenbaugh. a wellknown fertilizer salesman of St. Paul, is authority for the statement that two-thirds of the wheat crop has been ruined by the intense cold winter, says the Rushville Republican. He says that in many fields not a spear of the cereal can be found, while in others a spot here and there is found which has not been injured. The majority of the grain was ruined by the ice which held the blades of the wheat encased in it for many weeks.

As a result of the great damage wrought to the wheat many farmers will plow up what little wheat does look promising and place the field in corn this spring. Not in many years has the prospect for a good wheat crop in this vicinity looked so discouraging to the farmers.
