Permission Secured from Government—Creates Valuable Real Esstate and Disposes of Refuse

The United States Steel Company which has a large plant on the lake shore at Chicago, is reclaiming, or building up 320 acres on the lake shore. The company secured permission to do so from the United States Government and by special act of the Illinois Legislature.

They started the work by driving down immense piles in the lake, at the extreme boundary points of the tract which they were to build up. The mills have a large refuse or amount of slag, which becomes a problem to dispose of. Dumping it into the lake easily solves the problem, and at the same time produces very valuable real estate. The company takes the large lumps, weighing tons, and drops them on the outer boundaries next to the piles. By this means a wall as solid as cement abutments is constructed.

The company has a factory site now of 360 acres. About one-half

SCHOOL TEACHERS IRE 10 BE TAUGHT

Will Receive Instruction on How To Proceed Under the New Vocational Education Act

Members of the State Board of Education are trying to unravel the tangles in the new vocational education law. Teachers throughout the state have received instructions as to how to proceed under the new law, and the authorities are doing what they can to impart needed information.

Charles A. Greathouse, state superintendent of public instruction, says the idea is becoming more and more prevalent that workers in factories whose main task was to attend or operate machinery should receive instruction and training which would give some all-round power, increase their interest beyond the routine of automatic operations and so prepare them for more efficient work that such training should be provided as would conserve and develop occupations wherein skilled handicraft was required that the interests of I the rural populatioji should be so

DEEDS, NOT WORDS

Greenfield People Have Absolute Proof of Deeds at Home. It's not words, but deeds that prove true merit.

The deeds of Doan's Kidney Pills, For Greenfield kidney sufferers, Have made their local reputation. Proof lies in the testimony of Greenfield people.

Mrs. Lydia A. Leisinger, 418 Wilson, street, Greenfield, Ind., says: "i take pleasure in recommending Doan's Kidney Pills. Some years ago I procured this remedy at M. C.

W. G. SMITH HEIRS SELL THEIR FARM

Principal of the Greenfield High School Buys Farm Near Tractiop Line and National Road

Prof. J. W. Kendall, principal of the Greenfield High School, has purchased a farm of 108 acres just north, and immediately adjacent to the town of Philadelphia, this county. The land belonged to the heirs of the late William G. Smith— Rev. Chesteen W. Smith, of Kansas City, Mo., and Mrs. Mabel Denney, of this city. The consideration was $13,500. The land was disposed of because the owners were so situated and engaged as not to give it the proper attention. Prof. Kendall buys it as an investment.

Land located between Greenfield and Indianapolis is sure to be a very profitable investment, and no one need be afraid to purchase such property at the present prevailing prices.

The sale of the above farm was made through the well known Jasper H. Moulden real estate agency of this city, and both the sellers and the purchaser are well pleased with the transaction.

Barn and Contents Burned. A large barn belonging to F. M. Sanford, of Buck Creek township, northwest of Philadelphia, was destroyed by fire Monday night about 12 o'clock. It was struck by lightning about 11:30 and was soon ablaze. George W. Parker, a neighbor, saw the fire break through the roof. The loss is very heavy, and only partly covered by insurance. The insurance was carried by the Hancock County Farmers' Mutual Insurance Company. Among the contents destroyed was a great deal of hay—forty tons baled hay also part of his crop this year was destroyed.

To Keep Cream Solid. The Early Drug Company has recently added to their fountain accessories a three-can packing box. In it may be kept from fifteen to thirty gallons of cream. As the lids fit tightly, the cream will not melt as it might in tubs, but will be firm and solid at all times. They consider this an important improvement.

Zike Family Dinner.

The annual summer meeting of the Zike family occurred at Hogsback in Shelby county Sunday. Those attending from this city were Dr. and Mrs. S. S. Boots and granddaughter, Mary June Boots Mr. and Mrs. Frank Johnson, Dr. and Mrs. R. E. Ramsey and Mr. and Mrs. Nolan Parish and daughter. A bountiful picnic dinner was served.

A. E. Humke, Special Investigator, Visited County Officials—State To Collect Over $1,000,000.

Albert E. Humke, who is the special investigator from the state department, was in this city Friday interviewing the county officials and getting a line on the estates that come under the law.

By the conditions of the law, a wife may inherit from her husband $10,000 without tax, and children, $2,000 the husband, however, may inherit only $2,000 from the wife, without tax. The rate is low for the first $25,000 the rate is one per cent. for the next, one and a half per cent. for the next $50,000, two per cent., on up to $500,000, two and a half per cent. Above $500,000 three per cent.

The investigator interviews four officers principally, the clerk, the treasurer, assessor and judge. Of these, the judge holds the major place. It is his duty to fix the valuation on the property in question, either personally or by a deputy, and then figure the tax. The assessed valuation is not accepted. He then turns the papers over to the treasurer, who collects the money. An inheritance tax remains a perpetual lien against the property in question.

Mr. Humke is a prominent educator, having at one time been an English teacher in the State Normal at Terre Haute, and also superintendent of the public schools of Edinburg. He now lives at Brooklyn, Ind.

Returns to Missouri.

Dr. A. H. Heaton, of Sedalia, Mo., has just returned to his home after a visit of a week here with the Ellis family west of town. He called on a number of old friends in Greenfield. He is the son of A. C. Heaton, who was one of Greenfield's business men thirty years ago.

While here Dr. Heaton purchased a fine touring car at Richmond and returned to Missouri in it. His father and mother, who are now past 80 years of age, are living with the doctor in Sedalia, his brother, Ernest, having died a few years ago.

No Tobacco For Teachers. Spokane, Wash., July 11.—Public school teachers who smoke are receiving the fire of the Spokane W. C. T. U., which has requested the board of education to engage no teachers who use the filthy weed in any form. Going a step further, they demand that those now on the pay roll who are devotees ofvLady Nicotine, be given their choice of "reforming" or quitting their jobs. At a public hearing, the foes of tobacco declared their belief that some of the school principals use tobacco, that some of them smoke on the streets, and that mothers endeavoring to stamp out the habit in their sons are stumped by the rejoinder, "Teacher smokes, why can't we?" "There is no one who claims that the habit of smoking is decreasing," said Rev. J. O. Johnson. "There is no natural tendency among boys to smoke—they do it because they see someone else do it. It is impossible for any teacher who uses tobacco to give sincerely the instruction of the evil effects of the weed, which our state laws require."

"Second Barney Oldfield." Omer Jackson, wife and daughter, Dorothy, and Mrs. Grace Jackson, have returned home after spending a few days with Dr. and Mrs. H. C. Miller. They came through by auto. Mr. Jackson drove the 235 miles in 10 hours and 20 minutes, and he came through three rain-storms. At home he is known as the "second Barney Oldfield." Mr. Jackson is assistant attorney general of Indiana. At present Dr. and Mrs. Miller are entertaining Mr. and Mrs. Ora Myers, of Greenfield, Ind. Mr. Myers is the mayor of his home city.—Hillsdale (Mich.) Daily.

GETTYSBURG BATTLE ON SPINOLER FIRM

Celebrated Spangler Spring, Where Soldiers Quenched Thirst Named for Floyd Spangler's Grandfather

The main supply of water for the soldiers at the Battle of Gettysburg was from Spangler's Springs. Those springs were located on the farm of and took their name from the grandfather of Floyd Spangler, of this city.

The grandfather owned part of the land on which the battle was fought at the time of the battle.

Mrs. Eugene Lewis Visiting Here. Mrs. Cora Lewis and sons, Lyell and Robert, of Toledo, Ohio, are the guests of Mr. and Mrs. William M. Lewis, of Douglas street, and other friends. Mrs. Lewis is the widow of the late Eugene Lewis, a former postmaster of Greenfield. They moved from this city to Toledo about fourteen years ago, where Mr. Lewis was a railway postal clerk on the Wabash road, from that city to St. Louis, which position he held until the time of his death, about two years ago.

Soon after going to Toledo, Mr. Lewis made some real estate investments and erected some buildings on which he realized nicely. At the time of his death he left, in the way of an estate, two well located up-to-date flats which are most desirable residences, and they have never failed to be rented.

Lyell, the oldest son, is now 18 years old. He has spent a year in a school at Lincoln, Nebraska, where he has an uncle. He took special military drill and training. He also spent one year at Miami Military Institute in Ohio. Robert, the second son, is about 10 years old. The family has not visited in Greenfield for several years.

Motor Spirits Test Best. When Mayor Myers started for Hillsdale, Mich., he filled his tank with 10 gallons of motor spirits. He passed through three rains on the way, which, of course, made the roads bad. Yet when he reached Hillsdale, a distance of 230 miles, he had one gallon of spirits left.

On the return trip he took on 10 gallons of gasoline, had good, dry roads, but ran out of fuel at Pendleton, about 175 miles from Hillsdale. He filled up with three gallons more, and had only a little over a gallon left on reaching Greenfield. Mr. Myers does not attempt to say that motor spirits are best, nor does this article but the simple facts are stated as they happened.

Visit Lee Thayer Farm. Postmaster and Mrs. W. S. Pugh visited Lee C. Thayer and family on their nice farm in Vernon township Sunday. They were taken there in Mr. Thayer's automobile, driven by Miss Louise. Mr. and Mrs. Thayer are nicely fixed in their farm home for the summer, and are thoroughly enjoying the change. A splendid chicken dinner was served. Mr. Pugh said he would like to live on a farm if he had such a farm and was fixed like Mr. Thayer.

The ladies of the Shiloh church wish to express their regrets to the many people that came out to their festival Saturday evening, for the disappointment occurring by the failure of the cream to arrive.

CLASSES NOTES AS CHECKS

Attorney General Gives Opinion On Section of New Law.

H. A. Arnold, clerk of the state banking department, is preparing to inform the bankers of the stalo as to the interpretation of a section of the new negotiable instruments law, which will have an important effect. The section reads: "Where the instrument is made payable at a bank it is equivalent to an order to the bank to pay the same for the account of the principal debtor thereon."

Attorney General Honan has given an unofficial opinion to the effect that this means that the bank is required to charge the amount of the note to the maker's account if he has sufficient funds on deposit to meet it. In other words, when a note is payable at a bank it becomes the same as a check.
