.jzens at the Court House Monday evening was well attended by representative people of the city. C.

M. Curry presided, and introduced the high school quartet which sang a song which was well received by the audience.

In a neat and suggestive speech briefly reviewing the business coneditions and prospects in Greenfield about which the citizens are thinking and wrhich has led them to decide upon definite and concerted action looking to a general awakening for better things, Chairman

Curry introduced 0. A. Charles, of Muncie, who is engaged in the awakening and up-building of the country towns. Mr. Charles has had a wide experience in different parts of the country, and has given special attention and study to the business problems involved in the & country towns and small county seat cities. He has been impressed with the trend towards the large is cities which is sapping the country and country towns of many of their best young men and women, and taking away from such communities much of the business which less? gitimalely belongs to them. His whole effort is concentrated against this trend which is detrimental not only to business, but to society generally. He has collected and compiled many figures and statists tics to prove his points and posilions. The audience listened with im the closest attention to all he said, si and it was very apparent that he was giving his hearers food for seel rious consideration and reflection,

He showed how rapidly the relative per cent, of the population of the country communities was decreasing, and how it was increasing ps in the larger cities. He gave fig-

How Big is An Acre?

I "Farm and Fireside" says: "It is doubtful if the man who raises average crops is really making more than expenses. To make money at farming you must get fcumper yields. Intensive farming is not so much small farming as it is better farming per acre. How big is an acre? Well, it is about as big as the man who runs it." -V'4 (Advertisement)3,' u*

Organization Formed Tuesday Morning at a Business Men's Meeting which Purposes to Develop Greenfield and Vicinity Along Natural Lines and Without a Large Expenditure of

Money—Men and Women of County Are Eligible to Become Members Upon Payment of Small Fee.

CHARLES' LECTURE HEARD BY LARGE CROWD AMD CONCERTED ACTION CAME QUICKLY

Speaker Discussed Some Important Phases of Business Situations and Opportunities and Gave Many Facts That Will Help to Make Movement Started Tuesday a Success—Expect Three Hundred to Five Hundred

Members Soon—Officers of New Association Looking to Betterment of Business and General Conditions Officers Elected and Committees Appointed to Carry Forward the Work.

The meeting of Greenfield citi- I ures to prove his declaration about I the natural resources and develop

the failure of young people who left the country for the metropolis, and how the lives of young men and women were wrecked by the vices of the larger cities. He illustrated from personal observation and historic facts how people leaving their country homes often ran away from opportunities greater than those to be found elsewhere. One of the main points of his campaign in favor of the local towns was that opportunity for success existed in every community and town for all its citizens, if only all the citizens co-operated in taking advantage of them. He urges that the tendency to run away from the country to the glare of the cities is ruinous. That there is nothing in the cities to compensate for the sacrifice made in leaving the country and country towns. To overcome this abnormal and ruinous tendency, he urged the people of the country to organize systematically to combat it. He insists that they must stand together shoulder to shoulder in all things, and make the local opportunities clearly more attractive and advantageous than the large cities. He urges the local towns to be made more inviting. That they meet the requirements of their business zones, and demonstrate to the people that there is not only a general community interest and duty, but that specifically they can do better by dealing at home than going to the large cities.

The most impressive part of Mr. Charles' talks was in their prac-^ ticability. They did not consist in mere theories. There were no unattainable versions. He dealt with his subject in the most practical way, urging upon his hearers that the things they should do to build

up their town was to take hold of benefited

COUNTY CLERKS MAY RETAIN m? FEE FROM HUNTING LICENSES It®® State Board of Accounts Rules on

Question of Permitting Retention of 10c in Each Dollar.

The State Board of Accounts Saturday decided that county clerks may keep 10 cents from each resident hunting and fishing license fee of $1 they collect. Question had arisen in various parts of the state in regard to a law, passed by the 1913 assembly, which some had thought repealed the provision in the low of 1911 permitting clerks to keep 10 cents for each license sold. It was contended also that the 1913 fee and salary law affected the hunting license fee.

Field examiners throughout the state who are examining the offices of county clerks, will be told in letters sent out from the board, of the board's ruling on this class of fees. In several counties field examiners had been contending that the clerks were not entitled to the fee. Geo. W. Miles, commissioner of fisheries and game, said that although the act of 1913 legislature might seem to indicate a possible repeal of the l911 provision, allowing the fees, no such intent was in the action of the last legislature^— Indianapolis Star,

them. He said though he did not know the local conditions, he did know that every place had its natural resources, which would develop it into a successful, thrifty business center. He urged organized, concerted, co-operative action of all citizens in the interest of their community.

That his talk had a decided effect upon the people was manifest by the prompt attendance at a large committee meeting at the Columbia Hotel at 8 o'clock Tuesday morning. In a business manner, the committee took up the question of organization without a moment's delay. J. C. Yance was selected as temporary chairman, C. ,M. Curry as secretary, and Ward Fletcher as treasurer.

It was decided that the name of the organization should be: "Greenfield Civic Association that any citizen of Hancock county, man or woman, could become a member that the annual membership fee should be one dollar. A committee on constitution and by-laws was appointed and consists of Jonas P. Walker, Judge R. L. Mason, Harry G. Strickland, Berlin Dieter and Harvey Rhue. Mayor J. Q. Johnson was made chairman of a committee on membership, with power to appoint his assistants to solicit applicants. It is the hope to secure a membership of from 300 to 500. and to have an organization which will revolutionize the business atmosphere of Greenfield. It is the firm conviction of many of the active workers in the movement that, working upon lines which are presenting themselves to the city at this time, the population and business of the city can be greatly increased and all conditions greatly

"The Uplifting Power of Christianity," was the theme of the service. Rev. C. H. Smith, pastor of the M. E. church was present, and expressed a most cordial and fraternal greeting.
