BEAUTIFUL BABIES

Guest in Greenfield Tudesay

JAMES WHIT COMB RILEY

The noted Hoosier Poet was a guest in Greenfield, his boyhood home, Tuesday. Mr. Riley, Mrs. C. T. Holstein, Mrs. L. Kinard, of Indianapolis, came over in an automobile and enjoyed a chicken dinner at the Columbia Hotel. Before and after dinner Mr. Riley met and greeted a number of his old friends. To their inquiries as to his health, Mr. Riley answered that he was feeling fine. His health seems to be a great deal better than a few months ago, judging irom the reports that came from Indianapolis at that time concerning his health. Greenfield was Mr. Riley's boyhood home and many of the scenes and people have been made known to the world at large through the medium of his poems. The Horse Show and Home Coming committee may well feel proud of the fact that their Home Coming brought back to his former home so distinguished a personage as James Whitcomb Riley. Mr. Riley and the ladies called on his sister-in-law, Mrs. John A. Riley, on South Pennsylvania street, while in the city.

COLLIE FROM ROYAL KENNEL RIDES PONT

Animal Sent Gentry Bros. Shows From England is Now Equestrian Dog Once Owned

By Duke of Cornwall

With Gentry Brothers All New Feature Shows, which will visit this city Tuesday, August 27th, comes the only Collie dog ever seen in this section that was bred in royal kennels. This beautiful animal was once the property of the Duke of Cornwall, and is a performing animal. He'is the only dog that rides a pony like a high-class artist rides the big white Norman horses so common in the circus world. "Collie," that is the dog's name, was sent as a present to Gentry Brothers when their agent was in England three years ago. The agent, who went there in search of European novelties for Gentry Brothers shows, found time to train four of the dogs from the royal kennels. In return he was given three of the royal collies. One more was sent to Gentry Bros. Two of the dogs died at sea. The third is now in New York, and the fourth of the aristocratic canines is a "rider" with Gentry Brothers Shows this season.

Gentry Brothers are the first showmen to present a Tlog of royal breed in a public performance in this country. However, this is in keeping with their efforts to present a show that appeals especially to ladies and children. The Gentry Brothers shows you knew in childhood are as much an epoch in the lives of children of today as they were in your life a decade or more ago. Gentry Brothers shows will give_two performances in this city, Tuesday, August 27th. For this day only admission is reduced to 25 and 35 cents.

HERGE ELECTRIC MID RUN STORMS

Swept Over State Monday Afternoon and Night—Did Considerable Damage in Some

Localities Near Here

Fierce electric, thunder and rain storms swept over a large part of the state Monday afternoon, and at night. For a time in the afternoon it looked like a cyclone was coming but the black, threatening clouds broke away when rain began to fall.

A fine big barn, owned by Wilson Corey, four miles southeast of Anderson, probably the finest barn in Madison county, was struck by lightning about 1:30 o'clock Monday and was completely destroyed, the loss being about $3,500. None of his stock sustained injury. The fire was seen by Samuel Bufkin, of this city, who was in that locality on business, and was stopping just across the road from the burning barn. Another barn was struck near there, but the lightning rods conducted the lightning to the ground without damage to the building, but the lightning rods were twisted. The storm in the afternoon seemed to have been more severe in that part of the state.

The electric and thunder storm Monday night was one of the worst of the season, the lightning being keen and the thunder very heavy. The electrical display was accompanied by rain, which will cause another discouraging delay in the thrashing, but will probably work favorably for the Horse Show, as more farmers will attend than would otherwise have been expected.

POPE-MOORE NUPTIALS

Popular Young Couple Were Married Saturday Evening.

On Saturday evening, August 17, the beautiful country home of Marion Moore, just south of Eden, was thrown open to a host of relatives and friends in honor of the marriage of their daughter, Eva Lee Moore, to Fred E. Pope, of near Fortville.

The wedding was solemnized at the parsonage at Maxwell by Rev. Dawson, after which the bride and groom returned home to be greeted by their many friends and relatives. The evening was spent in a social way, with music and conversation.

A bountiful supper was spread, consisting of all the luxuries of the season, including fruits and ice cream. Mr. and Mrs. Pope were the recipients of many beautiful and useful presents, among which was one hundred dollars from the bride's parents. Those present included Mr. and Mrs. Charles Pope, of near Fortville Jesse Alexander, of Indianapolis Shelton Alford and family, D. H. Alford and wife and their guest, Mrs. Jones, of Marion T. L. Huey, wife and son, Gerald, Charles Roberts, wife and daughter, Loraine, of near Pendleton Perle Alexander, wife and daughter, Martha Belle, and MatthewFranks. May Fred and Eva have a long, happy and prosperous life, is the sincere wish of all present.

Michigan land business. Farming has changed from hand labor and unprofitableness to machine labor and one of the best paying businesses one can enter. I have seen good roads come to add to the farmer's profits automobiles come to increase land values by reducing long hauls to little time gasoline engines come to fill in the gap of scarcity of help, and machinery come to multiply the farmers' muscle 50 fold. Water has been turned on at the big electric power dam just completed three miles east of Wellston. Electric lights will now be furnished and even electric power can be had on the farms of the Swigart Tract. YOU HAVE OBSERVED, no doubt, that one of the great problems today is the cost of distribution. You can solve it for yourself in a large

WHAT I HAVE SEEN

FOR 17 YEARS I have been identified with the settlement of lands in the Mason-Manistee-Lake Counties District of Michigan's Fruit Belt. I have seen this district change from forests to orchards from pine, hemlock, beech and maple to grains, grasses, clover and vegetables from deer, foxes and porcupines to cattle, sheep and hogs, from a country deserted and despoiled by lumbermen, to a countryside occupied by farmers and dotted with producing fields.

I USED TO drive over winding logging roads, and ford creeks. Ihere were a few log houses, miles apart. Now one drives over good section-line* roads, bridges span the streams, and farms and schoolhouses are in sight most of the time. Settlement started slowly. A new house was a real novelty. Landseekers those days went WestImmigration filled up the West, and then the tide turned back. Land prices everywhere went up. Since the year 1900 values have doubled and trebled within a radius of 400 miles of Chicago. In 1910 there was within that radius 23 billion out of tl^e 40 billion dollars of the nation's farm property.

I HAVE SEEN the high prices of land drive a majority of the farmers to renting. For instance, in McLane and Livingston counties, where value of lands and products is greatest in Illinois, 56 and 60 per cent., respectively, of the farms are operated by tenants. When established my offices in Chicago, seven years ago, I found that farmers paying high rents and many city workers were anxious to learn about land in Michigan. I started advertising the Swigart Tract, only 170 miles from Chicago. People commenced cdming and each year have continued coming in ever increasing numbers. This is the 3d year I have had to run a special car, and now sometimes two cars, every two week's to accommodate the land seekers going on my excursions. Such is the movement now going on. THE PROSPEROUS TOWN OF WELLSTON, my Michigan headquarters, stands whej?e only 4 years ago there was nothing but a "Stop, Look, Listen" railroad sign. Since then hundreds of land seekers have stopped, looked, listened and bought land and settled on it. I have made a number of excellent additions to the tract during this time, so that it still remains the largest and best located selection of land in the Fruit Belt. I HAVE SEEN a revolution in agriculture in my 17 years in the

measure by locating in the Swigart Tract, close to the great markets of Chicago, Grand Rapids, Milwaukee and Detroit, and the excellent local markets of Ludington and Manistee, with 30,000 population,, on the edge of the tract. I HAVE SEEN many settlers benefited in health by Michigan's climate. Many enter into fuller enjoyment of life, amidst the surroundings of pretty inland lakes and trout streams, and by becoming factors in the progress of the community. I have seen the rich, warm sandy loam of these lands produce crops that would make the farmer on the highest priced lands in Indiana or Illinois envious. PRICES $10 to $35 per acre, and a large selection at $17 per acre. Terms: $10 to $50 down and $5 to $10 per month on 40 acres yearly payments on the same basis, to accommodate farmers 50,000 acres to select from, including some fine new tracts.
