The Rockwood Tuberculosis Sanitarium, located fifteen miles west of Indianapolis has secured through Dr. Thomas J. Beasley, its medical director, the distinctary right to be the first to use the new Friedmann cure for tuberculosis. Dr. Beasley has been in New York studying the treatment.

The temperance people of Greenfield will probably take courage from the results of the dry elections in Brown and Vernon townships. There is no question but that there is more genuine temperance sentiment prevalent elsewhere now than there ever was before." The liquor cause is weaker than it ever has been in the past. One of its strongest allies in the past has Jbeen the politician who, if he did not openly support it, he discouraged any attack upon it. But the fact that the liquor interests would dare attempt to control politics has aroused the people to extraordinary efforts against all such influences, £ind the people who are back of them. The fact that a candidate has the support of the liquor interest- is now very prejudiced with .the general public. The political independence of the present time is against the liquor traffic, for the reason that many voters who have heretofore been held to party lines Jby their prejudice, and have supported men and measures contrary to their better judgment, now refuse to be delivered longer in politics. They are much more inclined to vote right than formerly. This will greatly aid the temperance cause.

SI. PETERSBURG, Ell. NOW ON THE BOOM

Property Recently Owned By Green field People Doubled in the Price Many Times.

While B. B. Binford, of Blue -River township, was in Greenfield, •a few days ago, he talked in an interesting way concerning St.

Petersburg, Florida, where he spends his winters. He has been going to that city each winter for six years. Mrs. Binford has been going there for seven years. Quite a number of Greenfield people winter there and the number increases .each year. There are now about 15,000 winter tourists who regularly go to St. Petersburg, and each year the number increases. Mr. Binford says it is a delightful place to live in the winter, and he thinks „most people come back north too early. He thinks they should not come back until May. The tourists make the city of St. Petersburg. It is enjoying a great real estate boom now. Values have advanced rapidly and many people have made money. City lots are platted and are being sold throughout all the adjoining territory. Fabulous sums -y- ~~are being asked for desirable gulf front lots. The late D. H.

WHY SO

MOST BE EMPLOYED OR ATTEND SCHOOL

Attorney-General Honan Gives His Opinion On the Compulsory Educational Law.

Attorney-General fionan has given an opinion 'to Charles A. Greathouse, state superintendent of public instruction, answering several questions concerning the operation of the compulsory education law, passed by the recent session of the general assembly. One answer interpreted the law as meaning that a child between the ages of fourteen and sixteen years, who is not in school may be employed in a "gainful and useful" service if he or she is at home, doing domestic duties. The new law provides that a child between the age of fourteen and sixteen years shall either be in school or be employed at a gainful or useful occupation.

Certificates, setting out that the child of such an age is engaged in such work, are to be obtained from the executive officer of the common school corporation interested in the child, according to the new law. The attorney-general held that the employer of a child should not be held responsible for procuring this certificate but that the parents or guardians of the child should obtain the papers. The state official also held that if a father or mother or guardian employs a child at home between the ages specified by the law, a-certificate must be obtained by the employer. The state officials also held that a business school is not to come under the provisions of the act, unless the branches of teaching at the school are those taught by the common schools.

Under the provisions of the act a county^attendance officer is made a probation officer in certain counties. The pay of the former is $2 a day and that of the later, $3 a day. "Mr. Honan stipulated that where one man serves in the dual capacity he is intitled to a salary of only $2 a day.

MURAT

Mirth and laughter will reign once again at the Murat theater, Indianapolis next week, when H. A. DeSouchet's celebrated farce, "My Friend from India," in which Frederick Bond, Walter E. Perkins and May Yokes scored such an original success on its first production in America some years ago, will be revived by the resident stock organization.

The four acts of the play depict the frantic endeavors of a rich old pork packer from Kansas City, Erastus Underholt, and his two daughters, to break into fashionable society. The son, a scapegrace, brings home a barber from one of his midnight carousals and is then obliged to palm off this queer guest as a learned pundit from the East. The knight of the razor and shaving mug, A Keene Shaver, carries out the fraud in the most side-splitting fashion, and would have succeeded in deceiving old Erastus, who wishes to exhibit him as a society freak, but Tweedle, whose name Shaver has taken, soon turns up on the scene and all sorts of complications ensue. In one act there is a sort of "Charley's Aunt" masquerade. Everyone who has enjoyed this clever farce will remember its unique missing-mirror episode, in which the disguised shaver mimics the vain Mrs. Beek-man-Streete, who all the while believes she is primping herself in the glass.

Miss Mignon McGibney. of Indianapolis, will make her first professional appearance in this play in the role of Gertie Underholt, one of the daughters of Erastus. dw

THE GRAND ARMY PARADE AND REVIEW

Instructions to Posts

Indianapolis, May 1, 1913.

To Commander of Posts: The parade of the Grand Army, Department of Indiana, will take place in Indianapolis on the afternoon of May 22nd, at 2:15 o'clock.

The right will rest in Meridian Street, corner of New York. The line of march is only one mile long over asphalt streets as follows: South on Meridian to the Circle, to the right around the Circle to Pennsylvania Street, then south on Pennsylvania to Washington, west on Washington to Illinois, north on Illinois to New York, at which point a halt will be called for rest and closing up to proper distances.

The column will then proceed east on New York Street, through the Court of Honor, reviewed by the Commander-in-Chief, the Department Commander, and all of the Past Department Commanders on one side, and the whole body of the Women's Relief Corps and Ladies of the G. A. R. on the other. The columns will disband on passing Delaware Street.

The Posts are directed to assemble at University Square, at 1 o'clock, using Pennsylvania as the route thereto. At Pennsylvania and New York Street the flags to be carried by each comrade on parade will be distributed. On arrival at University Square the posts will fall in by Districts, the positions being marked by large red banners with the number of the District in white letters.

All organizations must stand ready to march at 2:15 p. m. A canvass of the membership discloses the fact that a large percent of the posts, have a very small membership and not more than half a dozen wilt be able to make any kind of showing as a post.

So in order that the column may present a handsome military appearance, which will be a credit to the comrades themselves, it will be necessary to consolidate the Posts of a District into one body, in column of eights, with all banners massed at the head of the District column. Commanders of Posts will march on the left of the column next to their own men, be they few or many.

Those of our comrades who are physicially unable to march, will be placed in the Automobile Brigade, which will assemble in Ohio Street in front of the Federal Building and led by the band of the Knightstown Soldiers' Orphan Home, will fall in rear of the marching column and pass in review with the rest.

You will be pleased to learn that a battalion of the Indiana National Guards will act as escort and that the Sons of Veterans, Dept. of Indiana, Spanish War Veterans and a number of uniformed semi-mili-tary companies have out of respect for the veteran soldiers volunteered to take part in the p&r&de.

TRIBUTE TO MELISSA COOPER -f8**

The large gathering of friends and the flowers which flooded the house where she went to sleep testify to the love which all of us have for Aunt Melissa Cooper. We have paused here on the way to the silent city to bear testimony to her character and to avail us of the cohsolatioii. of the Christian religion. This sanctuary was to her the .gate of Heaven. Here came to her, from time to time, the vision of heavenly things and the inspiration to the higher ideals of life. To this house she loved to come, in its service she found delight and here I am expected, 'for you, our appreciation of her earthly life and our hope of the life which is to come.

For forty-five years she led a widowed life. Her husband, Dr. Berry Willis Cooper, left her in the morning of life and now, full of years, she goes to join him in that land where life is one perpetual youth.

He left with her the blessing of three little boys, Brainard, George and William, and to their bringing up she devoted herself, soul and body. Time has told how well she succeeded. Few families, here, have given to the world three such sons of integrity^and business ability.

To this Responsibility which she fulfilled so well, there was added another, of like kind in the closing years of her life. Ten years ago the hand of death smote the home of her youngest son and left four little children without a mother. These became the objects of her love and care to the day of her death, and they will rise up to call her blessed.

There was given to her also, in large measure, the gift of intelligence. In her early life she was a teacher in the public schools. She was a member of the first reading circle at this .place and continued the work until the course was completed.

Her love of home and children, and the welfare of others prompted her to donate the old homestead as the site of our public library. Over the path which led to her doorstep troop our hundreds of school children to quench their thirst at the fountain of knowledge. She was heard lo say that she wanted only some small marker at her grave, for she said ,pointing to the library site, "There is my monument." With her own hand she signed the deed which gave the lot to the city and there, within the entry of that beautiful building, a grateful public has cut in marble the name oJ Melissa Cooper.

Chief among her activities was her devotion to this church. She was always ready with gifts and good words to help on the cause. She was faithful in attendance at the services. She kept her place in that front pew until she went to join the Church above. Through all the cares and responsibilities of life, there shone the personality of her Christian womanhood.

Our sorrow today is sweet sweet because there is neither remorse nor bitterness nor despair. A sorrow filled with gratitude for a life so well lived, for its benefactions which abide. Our grief today is seasoned with joy. "We are persuaded that He is able'to keep that which we have committed to Him." As night succeeds the day, so sure will day succeed the night and in the morning, may you, the children, meet father and mother in the House on High.

Violin Recital.

Miss Carrie M. Weaver's violin class from Knightstown, together with her Greenfield students, gave a very delightful recital at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Harry Towles Friday evening. The numbers were all very well given, especially Miss Helen Craft's rendition of the Waltz from Faust. Miss Weaver's solo, "The Rosary," was beautiful, and was greatly appreciated by the audience. Miss Steiner's vocal solo was also greatly enjoyed. Masters Herman and Harold List gave their solos in a very pleasing manner, and showed a thorough understanding of their instruments. Among the Greenfield students who played were Bernardine Towles, Corr Service, Charles Whitesel and Dale Rafferty. Little Miss Towles has played for Greenfield people a number of times and is always received with great enthusiasm. She rendered a very pretty piano solo.

Miss Weaver has been teaching music for several years, and is thoroughly prepared for her work, being an artist graduate of the Indianapolis Conservatory of Music, and has studied in the College of Music at Cincinnati.

"Mr. and Mrs. R. W. Thompson and daughter, Miss Ola, have gone to Stockwell for a. visit.

V^-'^-le.QRITUARY Vf

Ila Forest Monger was born September 21, 1886, and died April 23,' 1913, age 26 years, 5 months and 2 days. He was united in marriage with Lillian New, June 24, 1911, Rev. Naftzger, of the Bradley M. E. church, officiating. He was a charter member of the Holy Grail Castle at Greenfield, Ind., an organization for young men and boys, founded on the New Testament, and exalting Christ as Hero, embodying missions, presenting chastity and centering in the Lord's Supper. It has for its motto, Confession, Chastity and Charity. On April 25, 1908, he entered as an-apprentice into Mason-, ry. September 4th of the same year he was made a Fellowcraft, and raised to the degree of Master Mason eight days later.

Forest attended school at Greenfield, also at the Indianapolis Manual Training High School. From there he went to Rose Polytechnic Institute at Terre Haute, Ind., where he made good, carrying the honors of his class. He was a natural mathematician, his profession being that of a civil engineer.

There remain of the near relatives, a wife, both parents and a sister. Two brothers and one sister preceded him in death. During his sickness Forest manifested heroic patience, almost verging upon stoicism, and even at the last he looked upon death- with the coolness and confidence expressed by Tennyson:

Sunset and even star,' And one clear call for me! May there be no moaning of the bar

When I put out to sea.

But such a tide as moving seems asleep, Too full for sound and foam, When that which drew from out the boundless deep

Turns again home.

Twilight and evening bell, And after that the dark! May there be no sadness of farewell

When I embark.

For tho' from out our bourne of Time and Place The flood may bear me far, I hope to see my Pilot face to face

When I have crossed the bar.

IS ALMOST COMPLETE

The Innes Orchestral Band, One of the Great Attractions is Sure to Delight All who Hear It.

The program for the Greenfield Summer Chautauqua is about completed. The assignments have proceeded sufficiently that it is now definitely known that one of the highest classed programs will be given at Greenfield.

One of the very best numbers on the program will be by the celebrated Innes Band. Nothing in the musical field has ever exceeded this famous band. It has the reputation of having broken the paid attendance records of all the chautauquas in which it has appeared. It is composed of forty-seven players, and is distinguished from all similar organizations by its tonal qualities and brilliancy of technique. Its famous director, Frederick Neil Innes, which is his formal name, was born in England, which was not his fault. But he has been in this country for "thirty years, and America can do anything with the right sort of material in thirty years, and Innes is good material. He is one of the great band directors of the world his novel use of harps, string basses and other instruments not usually found in the traveling bands, having given his band a world-wide fame.

Beatrice Van Loon, the young Holland-Dutch soprano is credited with a voice of surpassing beauty. Her success as the "Girl" in Puccini's famous opera, "The Girl of the Golden West" having given her a distinction scarcely excelled by Mary Garden, Geraldine Farrar or any other of the younger generation of vocal celebrities.(

H. J. Williams, Innes' famous harpist, is a solo whose playing has won him a distinctive place in the musical world.

F. A. Franklin, the celebrated flutist of the Boston Grand Opera Co., has been especially engaged and his solos may be looked for as one of the notable features of the engagement.

Innes' programs will as usual, contain a number of novelties, chief among these being the Intermezzo from Wolf-Ferarri's "Jewels of the Madonna," ..a Russian Marionet Dance by Glazounow and Innes' own spectacular fantasy, "Anglo-Americana."

Harry Isgrig, of Indianapolis, was in this city on business Tuesday.

CUT OFF MUSTACHE HELD AS DESERTER

Greenfield Man Mistaken For Fugitive While Visiting Sweetheart At Columbus, -Ohio.

Frank Dunham, aged 35, of this city, was mistaken for a horse thief and a deserter from the United States army recently. Mr. Dunham desired to call on a young woman a few miles from Columbus, so he went to the Philip Horn livery barn at that place and hired a horse and buggy. He said he would return about the "usual hour." After making arrangements for the vehicle, Dunham had his mustache shaved off before driving away.

When he had not returned at midnight employes of the barn reasoned that he had stolen the outfit and that his purpose in shaving off his mustache was to make identification harder. The police were notified and they telephoned in every direction in an effort to find the missing horse and buggy.

About 2 o'clock in the morning Dunham drove into the barn and admitted that he was a little late. The 'police were watching for him and when they had a good look at him they decided he resembled the picture of a deserter of the United States Army for whom they had been asked to search. They took Dunham to the sheriff's office and questioned him until 4 o'clock in the morning. He persuaded the police to telephone the Mayor of Greenfield, who got out of becLto say that Dunham was* a good citizen and not a deserter. Then the officers permitted him to go.
