Fifty Traveling Salesmen Caught in Flood at Bloomington—Have Only Words of Praise.

Henry Stringer, one of Greenfield's best known and most popular traveling salesmen who sells lumber for the A. P. Conklin Lumber Company, like all of Greenfield's large number of traveling men, was caught away from home at the time of the recent flood. He happened to be at Bloomington, the Athens of Indiana, when the tie-up came.

There were fifty traveling salesmen in that city who were not able to get away for several days. They were cut off from every other city, except Bedford with which place they had a telephone connection. This line was kept busy, because Bedford was also crowded with the traveling men who could not get awTay. Mr. Stringer says Bloomington is a grand old city, and that no city has cleverer people. The hotels did everything they could to make the enforced stay of the "Soldiers of the Grip" comfortable and pleasant.

William Lowe Bryan, president of Indiana University, which is located at Bloomington, called at the hotels and invited the traveling men to visit the university buildings, use its library, and take its books to the hotel to read. Taxicabs called at the hotel and drove the visitors over the city, pointing out its places of interest. Altogether the treatment was such, said Mr. Stringer, who was a guest at the Turner hotel, that every trav-

ohly the kindest words for Bloommgton and her citizens. Mr. Stringer reports a general gooff time. The party of traveling fneii included some good singers, and "they passed away many hours singing old familiar songs. The order book was converted into an autograph album and each man carried away with him the autograph of the other marooned companions. The photographer, having an eye to business, photographed the bunch for a sample picture for his gallery, but each traveling man left an order for one.

In addition to visiting the university grounds and buildings, the traveling men were driven out to the Gentry Farm, where the Gentry Dog and Pony show has been wintering. The animals are being gotten ready for the show season, which will begin early next month.

"Greenfield, Ind., Apr. 1, 1913. "To the Citizens of Greenfield and Vicinity: We,, the undersigned, wish to say that we have already turned over to the Red Cross Committee of Indianapolis for

flood sufferers the amount of $200.1

We still have some money on hand and think it best to spend a portion of the amount for clothing for little children. We were informed that children's clothes were needed more than clothing for adults. The committee informed us that there was no danger of getting too much money. We would suggest that ladies' societies and women's clubs purchase a bolt of muslin and make up a lot of under-clothing for small children. Or any other way to get something that would help these

dumdums until wuuiu neip tnese

them got out with only the clothing they had on when the flood overtook them. They surely deserve our aid and sympathy. Any money or clothing turned over to us, will be used where it will do the most good. Yours truly, ,, "Dr. J. L. Allen, pres.' "J. L. Smith, treasurer. "Percy M. Gordon, sec. ."'Red Cross Society of Hancock Co."

Get a Few Days Extra On Account of the Flood.

J. E. Ratcliffe and wife who have been teaching school at Wabash, Ind., returned to their home in this city Saturday evening for their spring vacation.

The spring vacation was not to begin until Monday of this week, but as Wabash is located on the river, and during the flood the high water did much damage to the light system, the school was closed on Wednesday of last week.

TELEGRAPH OPERATOR sGOES TO DAYTON

Greenfield Man Sent to Dayton, To Assist in the Clerical Department.

Ed Johnson of this city, who for many years was telegraph operator for the Western Union Telegraph Company at this place, left this morning for Dayton, Ohio, to assist in the clerical department of the Western Union there for a few days. He resigned his position in this city several months ago to accept a higher position with the company in the superintendent's office at Indianapolis.

Mr. Johnson is a model young man and has been given many promotions since he became an employe of the Western Union Company, and he is wrorthy of promotion, for he is an honest, trustworthy employe, and experienced in the telegraphing business.

Greenfield People in Dayton. Word has been received from Mr. and Mrs. William A. Hough at Dayton. The house in which Mrs. Hough was visiting Miss Anna Hawkes was flooded, the water reaching to the second floor. Miss Hawkes and Mrs. Hough were not rescued until Thursday.

Dr. W. A- Justice and Thomas I. Morgan, who went to Maxwell and took the Big Four to Arcanum, O., from which place they went to Dayton by automobile, found their people in good shape. Lee Justice, son of the doctor, was not in the flooded district. He had converted his home into a rescue station and had taken in seven homeless people.

Mr. Morgan found all of his people in good condition except his father, who is 84 years old. They were not living in the flooded district. However, on Wednesday, when there was danger of a levee above the city breaking, an alarm was sounded and the father, who was sick, was carried to the hills. He suffered from the shock and has not recovered. Mr. Morgan had several other relatives there, but they did not live in the flooded section. Two of his nephews were caught in the business section, and were marooned for several days. One of them was in the hotel which was erroneously reported burned. The other nephew was in a business house and had nothing to eat but a handful of dry rolled oats.

So far there has been no fatalities to Greenfield friends reported.

DATES OF TEACHERS' AND GRADUATES' EXAMINATION

Below are given dates of examinations of interest to school people:

Saturday, April 19th, the second examination for diplomas from the common school grades will be held.

Saturday, April 26th, the regular examination for the month of_April for teachers' license will be held.

Coughs and Consumption Coughs and colds, when neglected, always lead to serious trouble of the lungs. The wisest thing to do when you have a cold that troubles you is to get a bottle of Dr. King's New Discovery. You will get relief from the first dose, and finally the cough will disappear. O. H. Brown, of Muscadine, Ala., writes: "My wife was down in bed with an obstinate cough, and I honestly believe had it not been for Dr. King's New Discovery, she would not be living today." Known for fortythree years as the best remedy for coughs and colds. Price, 50c and $1.00. Recommended by M. C. Quigley.

Three Gettysburg Soldiers. It was stated in this paper Friday that there were only two survivors of the Gettysburg battle in Hancock county. This was a mistake. Rev. J. W. Loder, of Spring street, was in the battle, and he intends to attend the semi-centennial next July. He was a member of Company C, Seventh Indiana, and at the time he was not 18 years old.

When talking about the battle to a representative of this paper, IK said that the late Thomas William, belonged to the same Indiana regiment and was in the battle. He said also that he was with Mr. Williams in the battle of Spottsylvania Court House, and happened to be looking at Mr. Williams at the very time when he (Williams) was wounded. Rev. Loder enlisted for three years in answer to the call for 300.000 volunteers.
