GARNISHEE BILL IS EXPECTED TO PASS

LAWMAKERS LOOK FAVORABLY UPON PROPOSED LAW TO WEED OUT DEAD ONES

MEASURE HAS 600D FEATURES

RETAIL MERCHANTS ASSOCIATION RECOMMENDS IT TO BECOME A LAW

Of the many bills that have already been introduced in the Genoral Assembly, Representative Billman's Garnishee Bill is perhaps attracting the greatest attention. It j&as the support of the Indiana Re-

Merchants' Association and a [•eat pressure will be brought to Ibear to bring about its passage. It provides that a creditor may have an execution issued and levy on the wages, earnings, debts, salary, or other income of the debtor to the extent of ten per cent, of such wages or income and that the levy shall be a continual levy on ten per cent, of any wages or income which may be due to the debtor at any time until the execution is fully satisfied.

Under this bill not more than 10 per cent of a man's wages is subject to garnishee at any one time. The bill also provides that either party may apply at any time to the court for a modification of the execution, and upon a hearing the court may make such modification as shall be deemed just.

The bill has been examined by many of the business men of the state, and it has been warmly commended by all of them. Many reasons have been advanced why the bill should become a law, and among the more important ones are the following:

First—It eliminates the unscrupulous debtor. Second—It enables an honest man to secure credit in time of need.

Third—Honest men will not have to pay the bills of the "dead beat," thereby materially reducing the &igh cost of living.

Fourth—It will educate men and women to live within their means, guarding them against extravagance. Also keep the young man man and woman from getting into debt so deep that they can not get out, and become "dead beats."

Fifth—It will eliminate the temptation to become dishonest. Many men now oftentimes sell their honor for a paltry sum of a few dollars on account of the laxity of the present laws.

Sixth—The ten per cent, required to be paid for the necessities of life will not be a hardship on anyone.

Seventh No two garnishments can be enforced at the same timq, as 90 per cent, is exempt.

Eighth—No bills contracted prior to sixty days after the enactment of the law subject to execution.

Ninth—A severe crimp is put in the business of loan agents and salary loan brokers in general by a decision handed down by Common Pleas Judge Dixon in Chicago. The decision in effect is that section 10,271 of the general code, which provides for attachment and garnishment of 10 per cent, of the personal earnings of any one owing a debt for necessities applies only to the person actually furnishing necessaries, and such attachment cannot be made by any banker, broker or loan shark for money loaned, even though it had been loaned or provided for the purchase of necessities..

Suffers Broken Arm.

Mrs. Alice Matlock met with quite a painful accident Saturday evening, slipping on the walk on Penn-

8y,vania

street and breaking an

arm. She went to the office of Dr. C. A. Barnes and had her injuries looked after and is doing as well as could be expected. After the accident she went to the home of Mr. and M^. Lafayette Slifer and will remain there until she is better.

Sjisj Do you know that more real danger lurks in a common cold than in any other of the minor ailments?

The safe way is to take Chamberlain's Cough Remedy, a thoroughly reliable preparation, and rid yourself of the cold as quickly as possible. This remedy is for sale by all dealers.

MUST LICK THEIR OWN STAMPS

Postmaster Says He is Through Licking Stamps For Others.

A dispatch from Owensville, Ind., states that everyone must lick and affix their o\tfn stamps to their letters, according to the statement of Postmaster Barnett. He and his assistants claim they have grown tired of licking stamps for others. For years it was regarded as a great joke on the postmaster to hand him two cents for a stamp, and at the same time shove a stampless letter through the window with the request that he lick the stamp and put it in place. He makes it known to the public that he is tired of carrying a taste in his mouth that would gag a government mule.

MEASELS HIT COUKTY LIKE ACME

Seventy-Six Cases Have Been Reported To the Indiana State Board of Health.

During the month of January, seventy-six cases of measles existed in Hancock county, according to a report just rendered to the State Board of health by Dr. Milo Gibbs, county health commissioner. Other cases reported were as follows: 1 diphtheria, 2 scarlet fever, 1 typhoid fever 9 deaths, 14 births, 12 marriages and 2 cases of chickenpox. "Measles," stated Dr. Gibbs in his report, "seem to have swept across the county like a cyclone. Up until the first of this month not a case of measles were reported to exist in Greenfield, but since that time three cases have broken out.

Card of Thanks.

We wish to express our thanks to all those who were so thoughtful of us and who by their kindness gave us courage during the first days of our bereavement. Especially are we grateful to the members of the Masonic orders, and to the Hancock County Bar Association for their thoughtful attention, dw Mrs. W. W. Cook and Family.

PREACHER DEFENDS THE RED LIGHT DISTRICTS.

Denver, Colo., Jan. 30. "Don't try to abolish saloons and the red light district. They always have existed and always will exist. Handle them in a practical fashion. Run them right and confine them to restricted districts."

This is the opinion of Rev. H. Martin Hart, dean of St. John's Episcopal Cathedral, expressed today after a study of social evils that has covered a number of years. "Men insist upon drinking and going to the tenderloin," he said. "You can't ctire them of the desire for those things until you breed a new race of men. That would take centuries. And the thing we have to deal with is things as they are now. Recognize facts and start your work of reform to control as far as possible what you cannot abolish. If I were chief of police or a sheriff, or head of the fire and police board, I would adopt one rigid policy and then stick to it. I would have saloons so that the man who wants a drink could get it. But I would regulate the liquor trafficnot try to abolish it. No community in the world's history ever completely abolished the saloons."

Mothers Can Safely Buy Dr. King's New Discovery and give it to the little ones when ailing and suffering with colds, coughs, throat or lung troubles tastes nice, harmless, once used, always used. Mrs. Bruce Crawford, of Niagara, Mo., writes: "Dr. King's New Discovery changed our boy from a pale, weak, sick boy to the picture of health." Always helps. Buy it at M. C. Quigley's.

GREENFIELD REPUBLICAN, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 6, 1913

LENI WILL BEGIN EARLY IS YEAR

Forty-Day. Season Starts on February 12th, On Account of An Early Easter.

Within a month all' of the local millinery shops will be busy in anticipation of the opening of the Easter millinery season. The -usual millinery opening comes Thursday or Friday preceding Palm Sunday, one week before Easter Sunday.

The subject of Lent recalls the fact that for the fourth time since 1788 Lent will begin as early as February 12th. This year Easter will fall on the 23d of March. This fortieth day season prescribed by the church as one of fasting and prayer has never begun any earlier, except in one year, 1819. Easter that year fell on March 22d.

Owing to the early arrival of Lent the season will be one of the shortest on record. Easter frequently has fallen as late as April 15th or 16th, and probably will Tiit in or around these dates during 1914 and 2013.

In the latter year, according to the church almanac, the date will again be March 23d. So those who suffer by a falling off of business this winter in consequence of the early date, need not look for a repitition of the situation during their lifetime.

PERIOD IS

ONE YEAR LONGER

Children Must Not Give Up Studies Until They Have Passed Fourteenth Year.

School attendance must be up to and including the last day of the fourteenth year, according to an opinion handed down by Attorney General Honan to Supt. C. A. Greathouse. "Between the ages of 7 and 14 years, inclusive," is the ruling of the attorney general.*

It is said that in many places the children have been permitted to leave school as soon as they have passed the fourteenth birthday anniversary. In enforcing the child labor law, the rule has been thus far to permit children who have passed the fourteenth birthday, to enter gainful pursuits. The attorney general's opinion raises a question of vast importance to children in industry.

Here is a message of hope and good cheer from Mrs. C. J. Martin, Boone Mill, Ya., who is the mother of eighteen children. Mrs. Martin was cured of stomach trouble and constipation by Chamberlain's Tablets, and after five years »of suffering, and now recommends these tablets to the public. For sale by all dealers.

A CALL SENT FORTH TO HELP THE NEEOY

The Charity Organization Needs Help Now The First Call For Money This Winter

There is one class of people who never like to see the weather severely cold. It is that class that is. poorly housed, poorly clothed and poorly fed. They never wish for cold weather. It is hard enough for them to keep soul and body together, and avoid suffering when the weather is mild, but when the thermometer approaches zero, it is doubly so. It not only requires more clothes, more food, more fuel, but there is less work. So that as the demand is increased, the facilities for supplying it are diminished. This always has been and always will be the case.

No one knows it so well as the workers in the charity organizations. Saturday morning's blizzard increased the demands on the local charity organization. Many people were needing help. Something to eat and something to keep them warm. The organization has not had to do much so far this winter, thanks to the nice weather. It has not had to call for a dollar in money from the people. The small amount of money carried over from last year has, so far this year, met the demands, but it is now exhausted. The treasury must be replenished. Let every person who is living in comfort, those who have warm clothes, warm homes, and plenty to eat, contribute from 50 cents to $1.00 in money to the charity organization, and it can relieve all the suffering poor from cold and hunger. That is a small amount to give in a year to the charity work of the city.

Who will be the first to give? Don't wait on the other person. Do it yourself do it now. There is no danger of too much being given. It will be properly used. People who give their time and labor gratis, to the unpleasant duty of charity work are not the persons who will waste such money. It will not only be carefully expended, but it will all be accounted for in an annual report which is published. Sit down now and send a check or money order by mail to W. B. Bottsford, treasurer, or Mrs. J. W. Collier, secretary, or if you do not desire to send a check or order, call upon them in person and give them the money. The organization needs money. This appeal is made to get it. The public does not have to contribute, but it should. This paper" will publish the responses to this call for help. If none are received that fact will be published. Who will be the first to respond?

There is no better medicine made for colds than Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. It acts on nature^s plan, relieves the lungs, opens the secretions, aids expectoration and restores the system to a healthy condition. For sale by all dealers.

MR. GROUNDHOG RETURNED

Country Thrown Into Real Winter Following "Hawg's" Retreat. .«

Sunday was Groundhog Day, and the suspense as to the length of the winter was broken when the "hawg" had a look at the outside world and, finding the sun shining, decided to return to his hole for the next six weeks. His return was followed by about four inches of snow which fell last night and today we find ourselves launched into the midst of a real sure-enough winter. J*
