In the future political lobbyists will probably submit their case to the people.

This is not a time of as much party politics as formerly, but it is manifest that the lobby investigation now on in Washington is not entirely free from such influences.

The Wheat Market.

Wheat threshing began Friday, after a "nothing-doing" period of almost a week. Some of the wheat which came to Greenfield elevators Friday, was in a very good condition. Part of the offering, however, was a' little damp, and one lot was so wet that one of the mills turned it down. The farmers are getting anxious about their wheat which is in the shock. They are afraid of continued rainy weather. Already some of the wheat is beginning to sprout. Not much damage has occurred, but should the rains continue, only a few days, great damage would be done to the grain.

Most of the machines were running today. The price is 80 cents for wheat and 50 cents for rye. There is some indication that a number of Hancock county farmers are not going to sell their wheat now at the market price. They hope that there will be an advance. Other persons remembering past experiences in storing wheat, will sell their wheat from the machine.

Teachers' Licenses.

Forty-three people wrote on the June examinations for teachers' licenses. Of these eighteen sent their papers to the state department for graduation, nine of them failing. The other twenty-three left their papers here in this county, sixteen of them passing.

The reason for this high average of county papers is that many of the applicants were old teachers, who have been teaching on an exemption license and are now endeavoring to make a thirty-six months' license, so they can demand the highest wage under the new law. Many of those who wrote to the state were applicants who had never taught, but who, know•ing they could not get a school in this county, were preparing for any call that might come by trying for •a state license.

Ex-Representative Harry Strickland, wife, daughter, Miss Harriett, ^and son, Richard, and Mr. and Mrs. •Charles E. Vaughn, of Greenfield, .drove down to Shelbyville Sunday afternoon in the Strickland touring car and called on friends. Messrs.

Strickland and Vaughn each run a splendid grocery, models of cleanliness and neatness, with reliable goods of all kinds at reasonable prices. Each of them were trained and given their early lessons in the grocery business by the late Hamlyn Strickland, one of the best and most successful grocers Greenfield ever knew. Both Harry Strickland and Charles Vaughn are worthy successors of the man who trained .them right. A clean grocery, good goods, fair prices, honest, square treatment to everybody, was their motto and they lived up to it and have won not only success but the esteem and confidence of all their patrons and the wholesale men. No law was ever needed to make these men give you honest weights or full measure. They always did so— they are built that way.—Shelbyville Republican.

One Cool Spot in Town. When you're "awful" hot, and just ready to say that there isn't a cool spot anywhere, go over and stand in the vestibule of the C. Williams Co. store and gaze at the

lar&e

thermometer standing in one

corner of the east window. No „,V matter how hot the weather may

110

matter

what others ther-

Mi ^Vmometers may register, this one

iv^Voever gets above 32 degrees, for it is packed in a "snow" that will not j^imelt. And as you gaze at the cheering tube and feel the flush #^fibegin to leave your heated brow, •sp-^the streams of sweat to cease pi1 coursing down the shining expanse of your forehead, the salt taste to s^j^eave your parched mouth, don't '"*v**say it's all a fake, but pass the good word on to your fuiend, and go away—cool.

Expert Sign Painter Here. H. C. Seim, of Newark, N. J., was •in town today soliciting work in putting on window signs. He has had over twenty-seven years' experience in the sand blast lettering.

Security and Courtesy assured.

Survivors of the battle of Chickamauga are called to meet on the battlefield at 10 o'clock on the morning of September 20th, at a point where the regimental monuments of the Twentieth Brigade of the Third Division of the Fourteenth Army Corps are located, on the east side of the Lafayette Road, opposite Kelly field.

This call has been sent out by Adam Foust, President of the Chickamauga Survivors' Association. The meeting was to have been held at the National Military Home, at Marion, Ind., but because of the coming encampment, it has been recalled for Chattanooga, so that those who fought in the bloody battle of Chickamauga can meet again on the ground stained by their ow^i blood and that of their comrades and friends.

This meeting will be one of the features of the coming encampment of the Grand Army of the Republic. It has been arranged by the local committee to hold appropriate exercises on each battlefield one day while the veterans are here, and there is no doubt but that the 20th will be selected as Chickamauga Day, although plans were made to have these exercises in the afternoon and the call of Commander Foust is for 10 a. m. Local exercises may be held separately. There is a possibility that the Chickamauga Survivors' Association may chang6 the hour of its meeting to correspond with programs prepared by those in charge of the entertainment here.

The following call for the meeting has been received in this city: "On account of the location of the annual meeting of the National Encampment of the G. A. R. at Chattanooga September 15 to 20th, inclusive, it has been deemed advisable to recall the meeting of the Association of the Survivors of the Battle of Chickamauga, who have been holding annual meetings on the anniversary of the battle at the National Military Home at Marion, Ind., and hold the meeting this year on the battle ground on September 20th at 10 o'clock, at the point where the regimental monuments of the Second Brigade of the Third Division of the Fourteenth Army Corps are located, on the east side of Lafayette Road, opposite Kelly Field. All soldiers who participated in the battle and their friends are cordially invited. "ADAM FOUST, "President Chickamauga Survivors'

Association."

NEARLY TEN HOURS

Alonzo Ray Stricken While Working At T. H. I. & E. Power House—Effect of Heat.

Alonzo Ray, the well known expert engineer at the Terre Haute, Indianapolis & Eastern power house west of Philadelphia, was rendered unconscious for nearly ten hours Thursday through the effects of the intense heat.

Thursday afternoon he was repairing a boiler at the station, calking some leaking joints, and became very hot. While in this heated condition he went to the station well where thousands of gallons are used every day, and the water is nearly as cold as ice. He drank of the water and fell unconscious at once, as the shock was too much for his stomach. As the well is some distance away, no one saw him fall but in a short time he came to by himself and started to make his way to the power house, but fell unconscious again, but this time he was seen to fall. As nothing they did at the station caused him to recover, he was placed on a car, arriving here at 4:11, and Morrison & Pasco took him to his home in their ambulance. Dr. Sisson was called, and did all he could but Mr. Ray did not regain consciousness until 1 o'clock this morning, being unconscious for nearly ten hours. He is getting along very nicely now, and it is thought there will be no serious consequences.

BUYS HOUSE PLANS OF

Frank Swonger Will Build House on Farm, South of Philadelphia Complete Material Shipped

Frank Swonger, who is arranging to build a house on his farm south of Philadelphia, has purchased his material complete for the house in every particular, from, a Chicago firm and says that he saved money by doing so.

In talking of the matter, lie said that the company sends out a book of house plans to prospective builders, asking them to select a plan that suits them. The company then sends the blue prints and specifications to the prospective builder for $2.00. If the plans are accepted and the material ordered the cost of the plans are deducted from the bill for material. If the plans are not accepted, and are returned to the company, the company refunds $1.50 of the $2.00 previously paid. So that the prospective builder is out only 50 cents in the transaction.

Mr. Swonger says the company has a good financial rating and it makes the purchaser absolutely safe as to the faithful performance of its contract. The material for Mr. Swonger's house has been shipped.

I LET FOR

HANDSOME RESIDENCE

Elijah A« Henby Has Arrangements Made To Begin Erection of His New House.

Elijah A. Henby has let the contract for his new dwelling house, to be erected at the corner of Main and Hough streets, and work will be begun at once. Mr. Henby has the reputation of never doing anything by halves, and this magnificent structure, when completed, will bear him out in this assertion. It is to be constructed of brick and red tiling, and the material used will be of the best, a hard-burnt, pressed brick, every one smooth and of the same size exactly, and as hard as flint. The tiling will be 'on the same order that is, of the very best.

Mr. Henby has let his contracts to local people, as follows: G. W. Gordon, architect, of Greenfield, drew up the plans and specifications, and the building will be one that he can point to with pride, and will show his handiwork.

Jesse Little was awarded the brick work. Jesse is probably one of the best brick masons in the state. He is a Greenfield product, but has worked and acquired his trade pa numerous jobs in the larger cities. He has many houses and other brick work to his credit in Greenfield. He says he may have to employ a few bricklayers from Indianapolis, as they are not available in Greenfield, but as far as possible he will employ home labor.

Oliver Adams has the woodwork in charge, which assures a complete job. Mr. Adams will also use local help.

What say you, isn't this "home patriotism?"

HAS HE ARRIVED AT YOUR HOUSE YET?

This little fellow who is working the old, old game, which is no longer profitable in stores, but which can be worked when there has been a pay day?

Housewives and small shopkeepers are wTamed to be on the lookout for a tall, slender, well dressed youth, with an effeminate face who is dexterous in the use of his hands. He is a "wahoo worker," and while engaged in the practice of his profession recently "earned" $20 on an investment of 4 cents, two women contributing $10 each to his income.

The "wahoo" man's method was about the same in each instance. He had an envelope in hand bearing a stamp and an address, and in the other hand conspicuously displayed a handful of bills. "Will you give me a $10 bill for these? I want to send some money away in a letter."

Both women were eager to help him send the money away to "his mother." Each found the required $10 bill and handed it to him. He politely went through the motion of putting the bill into the envelope, then waited until they could count the change. "There's only $9 here." "Why, is that right?" (Looks surprised while making a hurried hunt through his pockets). "Why, that fellow must have given me only $9. Here, you hold the letter with the $10 foill and give me the change. I'll go and get the other dollar and be right back."

Each woman took the envelope, and each, after an uncomfortable wait, searched it an dfound it empty. The "wahoo" is still at large.
