IWIS SO HQT CATS HAD TO DE SHEARED

Los Angeles Lady Writes to Mrs. Rogers of Terrible Heat There —Was 120 to 130

When the weather gets so hot that cats have to be sheared to keep them from dying, it is some hot. This condition of weather existed at Los Angeles, Cal., during this September, or only last week, according to a letter received by Mrs. James Rogers from Mrs. A. L. Hartwell, a lady with whom she became well acquainted while in California.

Temperature Up to 130 In her letter to Mrs. Rogers, Mrs. Hartwell says last week the weather there was beyond description. The official record gave the temperature at 108, but on the streets, where people worked and walked, it was 120 to 130. Apart of her letter is as follows: "The furniture in our ,house was so hot that I could not sit on the chairs. I walked about rather than sit down, until ready to drop. Then I took one of our dining chairs out on the back porch and poured cold water over it, and then tipped it to let the water run off. It dried off like water from a hot boiled egg.

Sheared the Cats

"I had to cut the fur off of my cats, and by coiling the hose on the back porch and letting the water run, gave them a little relief by letting them lie inside the coils. In some of the schools the fire hose was used to throw water over the buildings, and where there were cement floors, pails of water were thrown over them. But, notwithstanding this, the children were sent home early.

Burned Rubber Plant Leaves "The leaves on our rubber tree, although a native tree, were burned "^folack in places. You people in Indiana can never realize anything about the awful heat until you experience it."

APPRECIATE!

Street Sweeper and Helper Began Work 2 O'clock Sunday Morning—Work Transformation.

John Crossley, the street sweeper, and his helper, Lon Cannon, worked a quick transformation in our streets Sunday morning that was greatly appreciated by the people.

When the carnival tents and other paraphernalia was removed, they were on hand at 2 o'clock Sunday morning and began to clean up the litter left. They hauled and burned, working on double quick time, and when the citizens started to church they found the streets all clean and nice, and in their normal condition.

It was good work, and the people appreciate the efforts of these men to present them a clean city on Sunday morning, at the loss of personal comfort and sleep, and also breakfast, for they did not even stop to eat breakfast until the streets were swept and the trash removed.

"OPEN THIS AT YOUR PERIL"

Curiosity of Searchers Could Not Brave This Message.

At the death of Mrs. ^Caroline Laughlin at Indianapolis a few days ago, a search of her home was made for the purpose of finding something that would throw some light on a secret it was known she had carried with sealed lips for years. A box was found, and in the box a sealed package which bore the inscription, "Open this at your peril." While itr was believed this package would throw light on the life of Mrs. Laughlin, it was not opened, but was placed by her side in the grave. She was a former Rush county woman.

LEAGUE IS FORMES

Representatives of Various Schools Met at Indianapolis and Formed a Permanent Association.

Delegates from Greenwood, Rushville, Shelbyville and Greenfield met at the English Hotel, Indianapolis recently and formed what will be known as the Central Indiana High School League. The movement was prompted by F. E. Ellis, of this city, and the various schools were urged to meet at the time mentioned. The purpose of the league is to encourage athletics and oratory in the schools and form a closer relation among high schools and high school students.

Officers were elected as follows: F. E. Ellis, Greenfield, president R. O. Findley, Greenwood, vice J. C. Edwards, Shelbyville, secretarytreasurer. The league will be limited to eight members. The other prospective members are Groens~ burg, Sheridan, New Castle, Franklin and Martinsville.

The main feature under the auspices of this organization will be a big day in the spring each year, to consist of track and field meets, followed in the evening by an oratorical contest. For each of the events in the field meet medals will be awarded for first, second and third, together with a banner for the winning school, and a loving cup to the winning relay team. In the oratorical contest medals will be awarded to the first three places as well as individual prizes. All im all, it should be a great day for the, mingling of high school students and friendly competition.

The first meet will be held at Shelbyville, owing to their excellent facilities. Later it may be changed to various other towns in the league. All students participating in any pf these events must come up to the scratch under the eligibility rules of the I. H. S. A. A. So this should encourage all students of the high school to put forth their greatest efforts to keep within the ruling limit.

The intention of the organization is to branch out more every year, and in a short time the contest will include work in all the manual arts

Even this year music for the oratorical contest may be furnished by choruses from the different schools with prizes offered for the best selection. Here's hoping that Greenfield will not fall short on any one of the things taken up and that she will put forth extra effort to win the prizes this, the first year.
