Huntington Plan Approved. State Fire Marshal Longley has been informed that the fire chief of Huntington has issued an order that hereafter automatic fire doors friust be installed in fire walls between business houses on second and third floors. The order is the result of a recent fire, where a heavy loss might have been saved •had there been automatic fire doors between adjoining buildings. Mr. •Longley says that a general awak*6hing to the necessity of protection

Against fire is apparent throughout Indiana, and that the action at 'Huntington is an evidence of a determination to save thousands of •dollars worth of property which now goes up in flame and smoke 'every year.

Used Parcel Post.

In the current issue of "Farm and Fireside" appears a short article showing how local buyers of farm products sometimes operate under a "gentleman's agreement" and keep the prices of country produce down to a ridiculously low figure. Following is an extract from the article showing how a Texas woman met this situation: "Not long ago Mrs. J. F. Jobe, a North Texas farm woman, found herself face to face with such a local combination. Mrs. Jobe had a flock of fine fat hens ready for the market, but the local buyers drew long faces and declared that the market was 'overstocked'—and offered twenty cents apiece for the fowls. "Mrs. Jobe consulted her paper and found that hens were quoted at six dollars a dozen on the Dallas market, the nearest city. Should she ship? This seemed the logical thing to do, but Mrs. Jobe was not unacquaintod with the ins and outs of shipping poultry, whereby the commission house often stood 'in' for a coop of fine chickens while the farmer was 'out' the value of the poultry with absolutely no chance of collecting the money should the commission firm be a dishonest one. "But she finally decided to ship, not to a commission house, however, but direct ta the consumer by means of the newly inaugurated parcel-post service. "To secure customers she inserted a small advertisement in the classified columns of a Dallas daily paper, and immediately orders began to come in in satisfying numbers. "After paying the postage she had left more than twice as much as the local buyers offered. Then, too, the consumer made a substantial saving in price and secured a very marked improvement in quality also,^ for Mrs. Jobe's farm fed, farm-slaughtered poultry proved to be far better than the usual run of market."

Turnip Days.

Friday was "Turnip Day." There are two turnip days in a year. They are "July 25th, wet or dry," and "August 10th, hot or cold." Persons can plant turnips any day they please, but unless they are planted on one of the above dates, turnip days' are missed.

From the incomplete data, however, it is found that the careless handling of matches is causing a surprisingly large number of fires. Not all the reports submitted to the fire marshal show the details of just what the carelessness consisted of, but many newspaper clippings received by the department furnish this information.

In the majority of cases, smokers are blamed for these fires. Not infrequently, fires are caused in the basements of stores through the

If all give what they can on a certain day, the aggregate would be a large amount. The fact that a certain day is set apart for a certain donation appeals generally to the people, and impresses them in such a way as to cause them to act. The money raised on Sympathy Saturday, August 16th, will be used at the Summer Mission for sick children, near Fairview Park, in Indianapolis, where sick babies are made well, where tired mothers are restored,

the saving from that alone would pay for the operation of this department. And if smokers would deposit the lighted cigar and cigarette stumps in receptacles meant to receive them, or on some surface that is non-combustible, another big saving would be effected for the property owners.

The actual losses from these causes and from such other carelessness, as overturned candles and lamps, live ashes in wooden boxes, the burning of rubbish near buildings, unprotected flat-irons on wooden surfaces, and kerosene being used for starting fires in stoves, are being compiled by the department. It is believed that the announcement of these losses will startle many persons into a realization of the necessity of being careful in these matters.

GREENFIELD HOTEL

Sold To E .J. Deanzer, of Chicago, As a Permanent Investment— Will Move Family Here.

The New Greenfield Hotel has changed hands this time it is out of the hands of traders, and into the hands of a practical hotel man with years of experience, who will make his home here. Mr. Deanzer owns a hotel in Chicago, but desired to move his family out of the large city into a smaller town with good schools, and with this purpose in mind, has bought the building and also the lease of the New Greenfield Hotel.

The new proprietor intends to make this his permanent, home and has bought the place with no intention of holding for a raise, as has been done before. He will find the building in good shape, with quite a good patronage.

Mr. and Mrs. C. B. Schaeffer, who have had charge of the hotel for several months, have been very successful, and well patronized by the traveling public. They have done everything that they could to make the hotel popular and a first class hostelry. Mr. Schaeffer has not fully decided what he will do when he turns over the hotel to the new proprietor. He is considering some business proposition which has been made to him, but has not fully decided what he will do. He will go to his home at Columbus, Ohio, and stay a few days. He contemplates going to Denver, Colo., in August and may engage in the hotel business in the West.

Truth in Advertising.

The above phrase was the recent convention slogan of the Associated Advertising Clubs. President Wilson's greeting expressed warm approval of the sentiment.

This motto expresses so thoroughly the spirit of retail advertising in a town like this, that one questions why this big organization needs to have given such prominence to the idea. It may seem like a confession.

Undoubtedly many of the advertising campaigns on a national scale, which blossom out in the magazine at high space rates, are over colored. You are promised-all the blessings of health and happiness if you only eat Jones' bacon. Many of the attractive cuts printed in the mail order catalogue are only a half truth. The cunning camera conceals all defects.

A druggist was once questioned why it was necessary to advertise that a certain medicine would be a sure cure. Even admitting it was a good remedy, it couldn't help all cases. He replied that if you simply told the truth—that it was very helpful in the majority of cases— people would never buy it. The public discounted anything that was said, and the advertising had consequently to be written above reality.

In the long run this exaggeration hurts. The mail order house and the national advertiser, however, are not easily accessible to customers. They can sell quite a quantity of goods before suffering for exaggeration. The retail merchant, catering to a public near his own store, suffers instantly from any misstatement. The goods, like the cat, come back. They come back very soon.

The imminence of retribution for misstatements in local advertising has compelled even a slippery merchant to be very careful of what he says in a newspaper. Hence the public can rely on it. When a merchant says publicly that his goods are so and so, he gives a bond to secure the genuineness of the article and the satisfaction of the purchaser.

Some Threshing.

Last Friday the threshing outfit of J. A. Cherry, under the splendid management of Wilbur Scudder, pulled to the honie of Chas. Akeman, a good old-fashioned Brandywine township farmer, and threshed 360 bushels of wheat in one hour and twelve minutes The wheat made twenty-two bushels to the acre.

Farm News

The rains Sunday and Monday have caused the men who have not threshed their wheat to begin to squirm. They want to get it in the granary.

The present price of corn is causing quite a great deal of it to move.

Bruce Goble, Lucile Downing and Helen McGaughey motored to Anderson Friday. Miss Rachel Williams returned home with them after a few days' visit at Anderson.
