IDAHO APPLE CARG BRINGS GOOD REPLY

The Mayor of Greenfield, Indiana, Writes Card to Middleton School Girl.

[Boise City (Idaho) News.] Middleton, Idaho, April 21.—A very unique and interesting result has come to Middleton from Greenfield, Ind., the birthplace of James Whitcomb Riley, from the advertising compaign fixing April 5th as "Idaho Apple Day."

It will be remembered that Idaho's state superintendent of public instruction, Miss Grace M. Shepherd, aided by the Boise Commercial Club, furnished Idaho school children with picture postals to be sent outside of the state. These postals urged, the eating on April 5th of one or more Idaho grown apples.

The children in one of the rooms of the Middleton school got out the geographies, and each pupil sent one of these postals to the mayor of an eastern city. One of these children sent a postal to Mayor Gaynor of New York City.

Miss Ruth Myers sent a postal to the Mayor of Greenfield, Ind., and here is where the interesting result comes in. The Mayor o? Greenfield replied to Miss Myers and stated his name, too, was Myers, and that he had gone to the trouble of buying some Idaho apples and had eaten them April 5th and made complimentary remarks about Idaho's unqiue method of advertising the apples.

In return for the postal sent him, Mayor Myers sent Miss Myers several picture postals of Greenfield's places of interest, which were made famous throygh the poems of Mr. Riley. "Riley's Swimmin' Hole" and other pictures representing places a£ Greenfield which inspired Riley to write some of his best poems, -•were sent to Miss Myers.

There is no doubt that the sending broadcast over the country of these postals by the thousands of Idaho school children will have far reaching results of benefit to this state.

TO GLEAN UP YOUR PREMISES

Mayor Myers Gives the People of Greenfield Some Interesting "Clean-up" Pointers.

The city is constantly hauling away tons of dirt and rubbish accumulated on the streets, but there is a large percentage that remains in your homes, cellars, stables, yards, etc. As to how long this material shall remain depends upon the owner or- tenant. It is the duty of every citizen in the community to not only live so as to be sanitary in his own surroundings, but to respect the rights of his neighbors by not allowing the collection of rubbish br filth to remain in his own yard or place of business.

Clean out the basements of all rubbish which may have accumulated during the winter months. Rake the_yards, both the front and back, and have the rubbish piled in the alley in boxes or barrels so that they may be hauled away.

Rake and clean the alley of all rags, cans, bats and bottles make the back yard as beautiful as the front. A few dimes spent for flower seeds or shrubs will help the appearance wonderfully. If your premises are once clean, keep them so by providing the proper receptacles for trash. Keep the garbage can covered and do not throw the waste into the car carelessly, allowing part to fall on the ground. This attracts flies and makes the premises unsightly.

Let each do his part and have the rubbish ready for teamsters which will start Thursday morning, May 8th. But one trip will be made in each alley. Wood or brush and paper which may be burned, and ashes will not be hauled by city teams. THE MAYOR.

A Nice Insurance Saving 0. N. Garriott, of Richmond, was in Greenfield Monday with a draft for Mrs. Margaret Adler for $1,000 life -insurance and $561.41 for money deposited by Mr. Adler and the accumulation thereon. The Metropolitan Company which Mr. Garriott represents, has a department in connection with the insurance branch which stimulates its agents to save money. The plan is this: For every dollar the agent deposits with the company after he has been an agent of the company for one year, the company deposits 50 cents. This deposit is invested by the company for the benefit of the agent, and the deposit and proceeds are paid to the estate of the agent at hisvdeat.h. Mr. Adler had de-' posited $313 with the company and his deposits, with those of the company, together with the accumulations, amounted to $561.41. Mr. Adler leaves his estate about $1,800 in money in connection with the Metropolitan Insurance Company,.to say nothing of the good position Jie held for so many years, 4

ATTRACTS ATTENTION

Many Veterans Will Attend—North and South to Meet On the Famous Battlefield,

The whole country seems, to be keenly interested in the celebration of the fiftieth anniversary of the battle of Gettysburg, which will be held on July 1-2-^-4. It will be the first great reunion of the veterans T)f the Civil War from the North, South, East and West. July 4th will be the red letter day.

Edward Douglas White, Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, will preside that day and the oration will be delivered by President Wilson. All veterans will get free transportation to this great reunion, and a large number of the states have already appropriated money to help pay the expenses of transportation. Arrangements are being made to provide entertainment at Gettysburg for forty thousand "honorably discharged veterans of the Civil War." The camp will comprise some two hundred acres of land. The Federal Government is providing five thousand tents, each tent to accommodate eight veterans. Each veteran will be supplied with a separate cot-and blanket, but must furnish his own soap, towels and other toilet articles. No person will be provided will food, shelter and entertainment within the camp ground around the battlefield who is not a veteran of the Civil War.

Every veteran who goes to this reunion and expects to participate in the free entertainment must provide himself with proper credentials. These may be in the form of a discharge or pension certificate, or a certificate of identification from a commander of the G. A. R. post, will also be accepted.

Down on the Farm.

Farmer William A. Service, of.R. R. 4, reports that he does not think that his friend, Farmer Marshall Winslow, former newspaper man, is doing much good in an agricultural way. He thinks some of the city friends had better come down on the route and look after him. Farmer Winslow has not been interviewed yet about Farmer- Service, but it is very probable that a very interesting report will be forthcoming in the near future about proxy farming.

A DELIGHTFUL little story. '*No man could have written 'Little Thank You,' says an important English jourcal in discussing the book. "There is that unmistakable feminine touch that alone can draw the tears from our eyes, that can reach chord's man's clumsy fingers somehow cannot touch, be they ever so cunning. The story is altogether delightful. Its power is in the characterisation, and particularly in the portrayal of the disposition of Little Thank You, who is every whit as charmiDg a little chap as Little Lord Fauntleroy. We defy any ordinary man or woman to resist being moved by it."

a,

becomes involved in the death of Edmund Melrose, an eccentric art collector of great wealth, to whose estate he succeeds. Both Tatham and Faversham love Lydia and it is the building of these three characters which Mrs. Ward presents with such splendid power.

The story is full of incidents and movement and one is loath to put it down, so full of dramatic interest are its pages. What the English Critics Say: •'The book is stimulating and refreshing."—London Times. "Mrs. Ward is always stimulating. A simple and sensational story well constructed and well mantained."—London Morning Post. "In 'The Mating of Lydia' Mrs. Ward is at her best. Its characters are distinct types and the plot is dramatic."—London Daily Chronicle. "The Story of Lydia, the artist, and her lover is grave and dramatic It Is even theatrical."—London Daily News.
