In the curriculum of schools and colleges one important phase of education—that of training young people how to meet and mingle with men of affairs—seems to be overlooked. This is caused partially by the fact that business men are seldom seen about institutions of learning. They are too busy. During the last year in school an effort should be made to bring the studtents into personal contact with representatives of various enterprises that are employing and requiring help. In this way many of the difficulties in recruiting their own payrolls would be eliminated and American boys and girls would be given a fairer and more encouraging opportunity of finding their

Good Citizens' League Organized About 35 or 40 citizens of Shirley met in the Odd Fellows hall last Tuesday evening and organized a Good Citizens' League. It is the intention of this league to put an end to the lawlessness that has been rampant in Shirley for some time past. The blind tigers, as the source of most of the lawlessness, will receive first attention. If there is any way under the sun to bring these fellows who have been operating these places to justice and put them out of business they intend to do it. Shirley has too long been a by-word among our neighboring towns, and the citizens are aroused to the point where they will not stand very much foolishness.—Shirley News.

SELLING WHEAT

GREENFIELD REPUBLICAN, THURSDAY, JULY 16, 1914

FARMERS SAY IT DOES NOT PAY TO STORE IT—SHIPPING WHEAT AND BUYING

SHIPPED IN BREADSTUFFS ADDS TO LIVING COSTS.

The farmers are selling or marketing an unusually large amount of wheat for the season of the year. Of course, there is a very large crop, but the farmers are inclined to sell their wheat as soon as it is threshed. They do not store as much wheat as they used to store. Many say that there is no profit in putting it in the granary. The shrinkage and loss from rats and mice is so great that it wipes out all profits, even though there is an advance in price. So the tendency is said to be very strong towards selling from the machine. Farmers are bringing larger loads of wheat to the elevator. As much as 125 bushels has been hauled in one load. The New Milling Company reports that it is receiving as much as 5,000 bushels of wheat in a single day. The quality of the wheat is good. There is practically no bad wheat and not so much foreign seed in it as there is in most crops of wheat. The wheat in the shock is in fine condition for threshing, except that it is so dry that the straw is cut up considerably, but this is not very objectionable, as it can easily be removed at the elevator.

The elevators sell most of their wheat and ship it away. Local mills do not keep much grain for local consumption. Very few farmers now store wheat for their own flour. Most of them sell all their wheat and buy their flour. Some do not buy flour, but buy bread from some of the many w7agons which canvass the country each day.

A grain dealer said a few days ago, farmers sell their wheat which is shipped out of their neighborhood, and buy flour made from a different kind of wbfat which is raised in the Northwest and shipped into their neighborhood, thereby giving the railroads two chances at freight, when if the farmers consumed their own wheat instead of there being two freight charges against their breadstuff, there would be none. The railroads would not handle any of the wheat which is consumed at home. The grain dealer also pointed out that years ago it was difficult for the local mills to get clear of their bran, even at a low price. Now they do not have half enough to supply the demand. This is another case where the railroads get two hauls on bran feed stuff, which true economy demands should escape the freight expense altogether. The farmer who sells his wheat to be shipped away and buys his flour and bran shipped in. pays the extra expense of shipment each way and there is no getling away from the fact that it adds to the cost.

Tactful.

Edward was the proud owner of his first pair of pants. On the occasion of his wearing them a neighbor happened in and was chatting with his father, but, much to Edward's disgust, the all-important subject was not mentioned. The little fellow stood it as long as he could, then, in a very indifferent manner, remarked, "There are three pairs of pants in this room."

The Hancock Construction Company is erecting the steel bridge over Brandywine, south of town, known as the Jeffries bridge. It is about a hundred and twenty foot span. The old bridge over Sugar Creek below New Palestine was taken down and used here and new bridge will be erected over Sugar Creek where the old one was taken dowm by the same company. The steel for this new bridge is on the ground and it will be one of the finest in the county, 135 foot span

She was a niece of Daniel Boone, and a cou&in of George Rogers Clark, a prominent pionerr.

?HAD FIGHT WITH A RAT.

Hotel Proprietop Killed Rodent, But One Experience Is Enough.

William Daenzer, proprietor of the Columbia Hotel, had an experience with a rat a few evenings ago that he does not care to repeat, as it was not soothing to the nerves at all. Mr. Daenzer never loses an opportunity to kill a rat and on the occasion mentioned, he had one cornered in a room back in the hotel, and when it started to run, he tried to step on it. He stepped just in front of it and the rat ran up his trousers leg. He did some "tall" scrambling and caught it as it emerged above the waistband of his trousers, but the rat sank its teeth in his wrist in a painful manner anti he turned it loose pretty quickly. He finally had his revenge, however, as after chasing the rat across the street a couple of times, he succeeded in killing it. He treated his wrist and it is healing without any serious results.

MUSICAL RECITAL COMPLETE SUCCESS

An Appreciative Audience In Attendance at the Christian Church Thursday

Evening.

The musical recital given by the pupils of Miss Dora Arnold and Miss Carrie Weaver at the Christian church Thursday evening, was attended by an appreciative musical audience, and they were more than pleased with the entertainment. Misses Arnold and Weaver were assisted by Miss Helen Douglass, contralto, and Miss Rosemary Pfaff, soprano. They are both fine musicians and their numbers on the program were greatly appreciated.

The Greenfield class of pupils acquitted themselves very creditably. Two pupils were absent on account of sickness and with that exception the program was rendered as printed. The program included Joseph Wood Moulden, piano Helen Shelby, violin Gladys Louise Kassen, piano Dale Rafferty, violin Freda Fern Miller, piano Corr Service, violin Margaret White, piano Bernadine Towles, Dale Rafferty, Charles Whitesell and Corr Service, violin quartette, accompanied on piano by Geraldine Towles Geraldine Towles, piano Charles Whitesell, violin Josephine Glascock, piano Bernadine Towles, violin Elizabeth Rhoadamer, piano.

Guy and Glen Phares, two boys of Knightstown, pleased the audience with a piano duet. The singing by Rosemary Pfaff was greatly appreciated. Lucy Rutledge rendered two popular numbers on the violin. The violin quartette by Rafferty, Towles, Whitesell and Service was received with great applause.

The Towles children, Geraldine and Berdadine, w7ho are natural musicians and have been given every opportunity available for culture, ire always popular before Greenfield audiences. They maintained their reputation Thursday evening. iMiss Dolores James and Miss Dora

Arnold rendered a beautiful piano duet. From every standpoint the entertainment was a success, and both teachers and pupils are to be congratulated.

New Cement Mixer.

C. M. Kirkpatrick, contractor for the paving of Main and Jefferson streets, has in operation a new Kohering cement mixer machine, now in operation on the cement job in Main street and with this new7 machine is pushing work more rapdly than was done with the old machine used at first. This machine is manufactured at Milwaukee, Wis. Its cost at the factory was $1,600. It was received at this place last Friday. It is a portable machine and contains all modern atlachments to perform rapid cement work. Mr. Kirkpatrick said on Tuesday that, barring accidents, and with fair weather he w7ould have the work on both streets completed by early fall.—Knightstown Banner.

"Jack H." Made Fast Record. Jesse F. Anderson is one of the best pleased men in Greenfield. W. H. Pauley drove his young horse, "Jack H.," a mile in 2:20 Friday. Mr. Pauley thinks the horse could knock about five second off of that gait.

Says Suffrage Associations Have Never Taken Any Stand On Government Control of

Liquor Traffic.

As our opponents become more and more alarmed at the rapid progress of woman suffrage and the ever increasing number of women societies endorsing it, they seek to confuse the question by diverting the discussion from fundamental principles and facts to personalities and outside issues, says Anna Howard Shaw, in a recent statement.

The latest attempt in this direction is a two-fold effort to link us with prohibition, and at the same time prove that we are allied with the liquor interests.

A recent article emanating from anti-suffrage headquarters quotes isolated statements made by certain persons, not one of whom claims to express the position of a single suffrage association.

All such statements by anti-suf-fragists show the weakness of their contentin and their lack of legitimate arguments or facts upon which to base their antagonism* to the purest democratic movement of our age.

Despite the conflicting statements of anti-suffragists the suffrage associations of the United States have never taken any stand upon the question of government control of the liquor traffic. Their position upon this, as upon all questions of government policy, is the reasonable one that whenever any question arises in local, State or national government involving the interests of men and women, women as wel1 as men should be consulted as to its solution.

Just what the position of women voters upon the liquor problem v. ill be has never been guessed, much less stated, by suffrage associations. The opinions of individual suffragists are as varied as are those of an /equal number jof anti-suffra-gists, but suffragists as a whole are in no sense responsible for individual opinions. All they demand is that problems involving the life, liberty, property and happiness of all the people should be settled by all the people.

OBITUARY.

Maria Wilson, daughter of Joseph and Maria Hillagoss, was born August 7, 1857, and departed this life July 7, 1914, aged 56 years and 11 months.

She was united in marriage to John Wilson, December 5th, 1886. Two sons.. Charles and Roy, and the husband survive to mourn the loss of a devoted wife and loving mother. The deceased united with the Christian church in Rushville, Indiana, in 1874, under the ministry of Rev. J. W. Conner, and lived a quiet, consistent life, until God saw fit to say, "It is enough, come up higher."

Her life was one of those whose quiet influence was felt by all with whom she came in contact. She placed a high estimate upon true friendship, and in acting the part of a true friend she w7as unexcelled. Her sphere was her home, and in the discharge of its manifold duties she found her. chief delight. Hers was a heart which always beat in sympathy w7ith the sorrowing and afflicted. For the despondant and downcast she always had a smile and encouraging w7ofd. Her virtues were many and language failed to enumerate them but the influence she exerted, the hearts encouraged by her life, the esteem in which she was held by her neighbors, are a higher enconium than pen could indite.

The home has lost its brigbesl jewel, the community one who was

always in touch with its higher, bet-

ter interests. But our loss is her

gain. Let us emulate her virtues, and cherish in loving memory the life that has been lived among us. lid&w (Advertisement.)

DON'T BE MISLED

Greenfield Citizens Should Read and Heed This Advice.

Kidney trouble is dangerous and often fatal. Don't experiment with something new and untried.

Use a tested kidrxey remedy. Begin with Doan's Kidney Pills. Used in kidney troubles 50 years, Recommended here and everywhere.

The following statement forms convincing proof. Mrs. A. W. Jones, Raysville, near Knightstown, Ind., says: "I publicly endorsed Doan's Kidney Pills before and now I have no reason to alter my high opinion of them. I used Doan's Kidney Pills and they brought me prompt and lasting benefit from lumbago and severe pains through my kidneys that had! caused me great annoyance. I shal always take pleasure in telliug of jiny experience with Doan's Kidney Pills.'

Price 50c, at all dealers. Don't simply ask for a kidney remedy— get Doan's Kidney Pills—the same that Mrs. Jones, had. Foster-Mil-burn Co., Props., Buffalo, N. Y. 9 (Advertisement)

The Tomato Plant.

A fellow can get a lot of pointers by watching a tomato plant. It doesn't make a big noise as it grows. It builds up its cells in the silence of the summer night, when not a soul is in sight.

To be sure, the soil must be right, though a tomato plant will grow in almost any old soil.

And there is to be sunshine and rain and the caress of cleansing winds—if there wrere no daylight it w7ould die.

But its big building up is done in the cool and quiet night, beneath the patient stars, with no playing to the galleries. And, though some days it grows faster than others, it grows a little every day, cell upon cell, ceaselessly, irresistibly.

As it grows, it shoots out suckers —little stems in the forks of its skeleton. If you want the best fruit, you'd better pinch these suckers off. For they grow to stalk and are valueless, like bad habits.

It also needs to be propped up, otherwise its juicy bulbs would bend down upon the damp ground and rot.

Finally, it invites, great, green, horny-pronged worms, which fatten on its juices, like privilege upon the poor. You can't compromise with these worm pests if you wish to save your tomatoes—you've got to knock them off and put your heel on 'em.—South Bend Tribune.

Nearin# Century Mark. Uncle John Power, probably the oldest man in Eastern Indiana, will be ninety-nine years old if he lives to August 2. For a man of his advanced years he is hale and hearty, and unless soomething unlooked for happens he bids fair to reach his one hundredth birthday and more. He is a native of Pennsylvania, and an honored member of the local Masonic Lodge, No. 16, F. and A. M.,
