The meeting of Ben Strickland and his former newsboys was held on the Fourth of July at the Farmers' Room in -the court house. Quite a number were present. They are no longer boys, but men, filling responsible positions or in business for themselves. It is about twelve years since Mr. Strickland sold out the newspaper agency in Greenfield He was agent for the Sentinel and Journal when they were published and was the first news agent in Greenfield for the Star when started. He was also agent for the Indianapolis News and Cincinnati Enquirer. He had alive set of newsboys, and did a good business. Many of them are scattered into different states, some being in California.

HE GOT WHAT HE WANTED
One of the Most Persistent Advertisers in History Was Robinson Crusoe.

He believed in advertising. He knew what he wanted—a ship—and he put up an ad for one. He flung a shirt on a pole at the top of his island that in the language of the sea was plain to every sea-faring man. The circulation was small, but there was no other medium and Crusoe kept his ad these despite the fact that he got no inquiry for a long time. When one garment was flapped out, he changed his copy and in the end he got what he wanted and his name and fame has come down through the ages.
You today have the city directory through which you can reach all the people, some of whom want your goods. Your chances of success are thousands to Crusoe's one, but your chances of failure are the same as his. Suppose Crusoe had not put up the signal or had taken it down after a time declaring that advertising don't pay? Where would he and his history now be?
Put up your signal and keep it up and the tidal wave of increased business will roll your way as sure as there are ships cruising around to take you off the island of dull business.
Beware of Ointments for Catarrh that Contain Mercury,
as mercury will surely destroy the sense of smell and completely derange the whale system when entering It through the mucous surfaces. Such artlcies should never be used except on prescriptions from reputable physicians, as the damage they will is is ten fold to the good you can possibly derive 1,0111 them. Hall's Catarrh Cure, manufactured by F. J. Cheney & Co.. Toledo, O.. contains no mercury. and is taken internally, acting directly upon the blood and mucous surfaces of the system.

sented his son, Clarence, of Shirley, who was unable to be present for the reason that he could not leave his business on the Fourth.
A permanent organization was effected, to be known as Strickland's Carrier Boys. All boys who carried papers for Strickland are members without any preliminaries. Raymond Denney was elected president Chas. Mulvihill, secretary and Wilbur Lynam, treasurer.
Mr. Strickland gave a little talk, as did several others, including John Hufford and Herbert Offutt, the college ball player of Terre Haute. Many stories were told of the newsboy days and the naps they took early in the morning at the station while waiting for late trains. Mr. Strickland was accompanied by his son, Jack, who is now a newsboy at Indianapolis for the Star.
Mr. Strickland has a position in the printing department of the state. He spent a pleasant day with old Greenfield friends.
FIRST OF SERIES OF UNION SERVICES
Well Attended Rev. Mary Miars Harrold Preached At the Friends Church.
The first of the union services held at the Friends church Sunday night, demonstrated the popularity of these services. Long before the time to begin the church was filled and many were turned away.
After the invocation by Rev. J. B. Williamson, and the Scripture lesson by Rev. M. S. Decker, Rev. Mrs. Mary Miars Harrold preached the sermon. It was a heart talk on the words, "Go Ye." It showed that a person should be a producer, that to be a success one must produce more than one consumes that the great call to the Church today was not only to "get" but to "give"— give without urging, or without grudging. She said that a pair of hands made calloused by service was the best countersign to present before the Master to merit His "well done." The choir rendered two selections, one a ladies' quartette.
The next service will be held at the Presbyterian church next Sunday night, and Rev. C. H. Smith will preach the sermon.

Changes His Location.
Dr. M. S. Walker has moved his optical parlors from the rooms just east of the court house, where he has been located for many years, and now occupies rooms on the second floor of the building where the Southern Indiana Gas Company is located. Dr. Walker is an exclusive optician and is one of the best known opticians in the city. He has been engaged in the business for many years. He invites all his old customers and everybody needing anything in his line to call at his new office, where he assures them the very best quality of optical service. Sam Tolch will occupy the rooms vacated by Dr. Walker, and will enlarge his business by adding new machinery.
Dr. Walker's office is the place to get the new one-piece invisible lens for far-seeing and near-seeing. Who ever heard of such prices— $6.00 for beveled edge or rimless lens? There are the same as others sell for $9.00 or $11.00. The above lens fitted into 20 year gold frames for $8.50, or in finger-piece mountings for the same price— $8.50. These lenses are full toric.

Young Man Found Temporarily Demented, Regains Normal Faculties—Tells Straight Story
"Vincent Ambrosia, the young man who was found temporarily insane at the Pennsylvania station Monday afternoon, was released this morning and sent back to Indianapolis. This was an unfortunate case, and should be a lesson to all users of cigarettes, as they were altogether to blame in this case. After a good night's rest, and treatment by the doctor, he awoke this morning with a fairly clear mind, told of his nervous breakdown caused from overwork told of his mother and sisters in Pennsylvania, whom he was helping to support and for whom he was working beyond his endurance. When he broke down, his thoughts went to them, and he thought they were in trouble and needed him. He told a straight story, and aside from the nervous temperament common to the Italian race, seemed normal. He was given a ticket-to Indianapolis where he said he thought he could find work at his profession as an actor. He refused cigarettes when offered to him, and promised to leave them alone forever.

BUSIEST SEASON FOR THE FARMERS IS AT HAND
While the harvest season is regarded by the city people as one of the most attractive times of the year on the farm, a different view is taken by the farmer. He looks entirely to the monetary side of the wheat crop, and while he may appreciate the great "waving fields of golden grain," he is more enthusiastic about the returns which are to be derived therefrom. The harvest season spells hard work for ijie farmer and it means that he is to spend long hours of labor in the hot fields. A large part of the wheat will be brought to the market as soon as it is threshed.
There are quite a number of threshing outfits in Hancock county, and all of them are making preparations for a busy season. Formerly a large number of harvest hands were boarded at the farm houses where the machine is working, but in recent years this plan has been changed and if near the city the hands eat at a restaurant.
This is a time of the year when there is a demand for help on the farm and a number of farmers have reported that they have been unable to find men who are willing to work in the harvest field, although they have offered them good wages, with board. Each year considerable trouble is experienced in finding sufficient help to handle the wheat harvest as quickly as some of the farmers desire, and this promises to be no exception to the rule.
Vacation Values.
The accredited maxims all spur men to labor. The books are full of illustrious examples of the value of incessant toil.
What we need is more of the gospel of rest. Interest in work, the desire to be constantly up and doing, love of industry for its own sake or for its rewards, keep many restlessly busy •until nature calls a halt, and the man of ceaseless activity wears out and retires from the active scenes.
Yes, it is "better to wear out than rust out," but a stop now and then for oiling up, lessens both the wear and the rust.
There are sports that kill, and there are labors, too, that destroy life. The prudent man will see to it that sufficient time is alloted every day and every year to rest and rational enjoyment that is recreative and life-giving.
Stevenson wrote a gentle satire, containing much shrewd wisdom, entitled "An Apology for Idlers," in which he says, among other equally good things: "Perpetual devotion to what a man calls his business is only to be sustained by perpetual neglect of many things. And it is not by any means certain that a man's business is the most important thing he has to do. To an impartial estimate it will seem clear that many of the wisest, most virtuous and beneficial parts that are to be played upon the theater of life are filled by gratuitious performers, and pass among the world as phases of idleness."
It is refreshing to listen, now and then, to so distinguished an apologist and exemplar of idleness.
Amusement is an important part of education. Relaxation is one of the main duties of life.
Recreation is not wasting time, but economizing life.
IF YOU SUFFER ANY STOMACH DISTRESS
You Should Take Mi-o-na Now— At Once Its Action is Immediate, Safe, Effective.
When you feel nervous, irritable, tired and dizzy when you have headaches, sour stomach, heart-' burn and pains in the colon and bowels—you suffer indigestion—you need Mi-o-na at once.
Mi-o-na is a specific for stomach ills—it goes to the seat of your trouble and quickly and surely ends stomach misery. It builds up and strengthens the stomach walls and glands, improves quickly the digestive system and assists nature to properly digest the food, thus insuring health for the entire system.
Do not suffer another day. Get a fifty cent box of Mi-o-na Tablets at Early Drug Company's store, or your nearest drug store keep them with you constantly, they will help you get well and strong and immediate relief is sure. Do not delay—delays are dangerous and also needless. If not benefited, Mi-o-na costs nothing. 3t (Advertisement)
