JUNE DISTRIBUTION AMOUNTS TO $2.21 FOR EACH CHILD IN STATE—HANCOCK

COUNTY AMOUNTS TO $10,322.91.

The semi-annual distribution of school revenues to Indiana counties has been made by Charles A. Greathouse, State Superintendent of Public Instruction. Ernest L. Welborn, deputy to Mr. Greathouse, in his official report, compiled following the receipt of the June settlements from counties by the Auditor of State, showed that a total of $1,693,706.43 was distributed. The amount apportioned to the counties at the June settlement last year was $1,693,697.94. The per capita amount for children of school age sent to each county this year by the State was $2.21 and last year at the same apportionment it was $2.22.

The total amount of school revenues collected in the June settlements for distribution this year was $1,700,531.35, made up as follows: State school tax, $1,508,035.99 interest on common school fund, $266,386.44" unclaimed fees, $468.29 balance in treasury, $4,076.50. The balance left in the State treasury from the apportionment this year, was $6,824.92.

According to provision of the In-

Death of Francis Gray. Francis Gray, an old and prominent citizen of Rush county, is dead at his home in Rushville, after an illness of several months.

Two sons and a daughter survive —John C., of this county, Thomas C. and Mrs. Maggie Johnson, of Rush county.

Funeral at Rushville Saturday morning, after which the body was taken to Knightstown for burial.

Most of the Greenfield people who are enjoying a vacation are spending their time at the Northern lakes, where fishing is good and some big catches will no doubt be reported before the season is over.

Has a Freak Colt.

J. W. Travis, a farmer living north of Rushville, has a freak colt which he calls a cross between a pony and a mountain burro. Mr. Travis says it is the second one of the kind ever known to have been born in this country. It is twenty-seven inches tall and weighs 26 pounds. It is a bay colt with marks around its legs like a zebra. Mrs. Travis says that she is going to have it for a driving horse.

John M. Hufford has received a copy of the "Calgary Eye Opener," a newspaper published at Calgary, Alberta, Canada, describing the great oil boom that has struck that section. Real estate values and oil stock have gone up with a bound,

and the country is all "agog." The paper was sent by W.

Mrs. Fannie Justus, of St. Louis, is visiting her parents, Mr. and Mrs. John Barr, west of the city.

John F. Wallace, of near Mt. Comfort, transacted business here Friday afternoon.

Mrs. Nancy J. Morris has returned from a visit with her son, Eugepe, at New Castle.

A Swinging Cot in An Automobile Ambulance. Hiram Eshelman has added another feature to his automobile ambulance service, that people who have occasion in the future to use an ambulance will appreciate. It is a swinging cot, so placed and adjusted with heavy springs and straps that there is practically no jar or movement of the cot when the ambulance is in motion, even on compartively rough roads. The new device has been tested in very serious cases, where patients were transferred a considerable distance and has given perfect satisfaction in every way, to Mr. Eshelman and the patients. The cot is swung from the top of the ambulance by straps, with the heavy springs attached directly to the cot and straps attached to the side of the cot and to the floor cn the opposite side of the ambulance, prevents it from bumping against the side of the ambulance. The ambulance is fitted with an electric light in the center of the top and the attendant's chair is stationary, by the side of the cot, with an adjustable back, so that every care can be given a patient while the transfer is being made. Another feature of this new service is that it minimizes the publicity of transferring a patient and at the same time does away with the necessity of several transfers from one vehicle to another in getting a patient to or from a hospital or from one locality to another. This automobile ambulance is Mr. Eshelman's own idea, built according to his plans, by the Knightstown Buggy Company and it has proven a success in every trial. It is so constructed that it can be used as a

Shirley News Says Blind Pigs Are On the Run, But Bootleggers Are Still Present..

The Good Citizens' League is congratulating itself on the success attendant upon its first week of work, says the Shirley News. Two blind tigers got cold feet and closed their doors, as a result of their organization, and cold chills are pestering the backs of the bootleggers, although they continue to operate to some extent.

Several days during the past week parties from out of town who have been in the habit of going in at the open door, have come and tried the usual places and gone away disappointed with their thirst unslacked.

However, the element that does these things have been scared, they have not been subdued.

While the tigers have been closed, two or three barns in the north end of town were stocked up with booze and it could be had by the faithful, at least Saturday and Sunday, and bootleggers peddled it from sacks in the alleys here Saturday night. It may be that the Good Citizens' League will be able to get enough direct evidence to convict these back alley peddlers within a day or two, as they are already in possession of some pretty good "dope" that they might, be able to convict at least one gentleman.

They feel sure that a few convictions will be all that will be necessary, but they do not intend to let the matter drop, just because they seem to be out of business. They will continue their organization, and it is their intention to not only break up the illegal business, but to make the street orderly, and teach

The Union Meeting.

The second of the union meetings was held at the Bradley M. E. church Sunday evening. There was a very good attendance, considering the intense heat. Rev. Smith, the pastor, presided, and Rev. Mrs. Harold, of the Friends' church, preached the sermon. Rev. A. D. Smith, of the United Brethren church, Rev. Charlton and Rev. Kerlin all had a part in the service, and the choir rendered special music.

Deal of Painting.

W. S. Gant began excavation for his new garage on East Main street to-day. The work will be pushed to a completion as rapidly as possible. The location is fine, and the plans are to make a most commodious garage room, 44 feet wide in the clear, without any posts or obstructions of any kind. Three immense steel girders will span the wide part of the garage, making possible a very large room in the rear of the building, in which machines can be driven and turned without interference of posts or other obstructions.

Gilbert Clayton, who purchased the Mannon property on Wood street, is making many improvements on the property, as he is locating there permanently. He is putting in a basement preparatory to installing a heating plant. He has put in a cement block foundation and built an addition, put in bath and all modern conveniences and put a new roof and enlarged the veranda. When these improvements are completed, this will be one of the nicest homes in the city.

John Clayton is spending considerable money on his Pratt street property, where he moved when he sold his South street home. He has almost completed two nice, big rooms, a dining room and kitchen, and will build an 8x12 screened-in porch on the rear and has erected a good smokehouse and is painting the entire building.

C. M. Kirkpartick has had his fine home on Wood street painted. An unusually large number of homes have been painted this season and a score or more are now undergoing this process.

The new home of H. Eshelman, on North State street, is rapidly nearing completion. Mr. Eshelman has remodeled his home in a manner to make it thoroughly modern and up-to-date.

The remodeling work that Omer Jackson is having done on the U. S. Jackson property is also going along rapidly and this will be one of the nicest homes in the city when completed.

Frank Lineback's new house on West Main street is all enclosed and when completed ready for occupancy in a few weeks will be one of the most modern and complete little homes in the city.

Gen. A. L. New has the plans and specifications for an additional story on the New Block, in the hands of the bidders and he expects to begin work in a very short time. This addition will include six apartments, all modern and complete, with a sun porch the entire Main street length of the building.

There has been and is still being done, a great deal of improving on homes, both in this city and the surrounding country.

BUYS ROGERS & CO. STORE.

Benton L. Barrett, Well Known Business Man, Begins New Business.

Benton L. Barrett has purchased the Rogers & Company shoe store, on West Main street. Mr. Barrett is one of Greenfield's best known business men. He has had charge of the Farmers' Mutual Insuraince Company of Hancock county for many years. He was also connected with the Barrett Elevator Company and the Greenfield Milling Company several years. He is well known throughout Hancock county, and no doubt will command a good business from the start.

CHINCH BUGS IN THE CORN.

Farmers of Marion County Have Lost Heavily Already.

The corn crop of Marion county is threatened with destruction by chinch bugs, a little black or dark grayish insect about one-sixth of an inch long, according to reports being received by H. J. Stevens, county agricultural agent.

The damage done already runs into the thousands of dollars, Stevens estimates, and he is sending warnings to farmers in all parts of the county to fight the pest. The bugs are, now migrating from the wheat fields to the corn fields.—Indianapolis Star.

THE LAST WORD IN AUTOS.

Miss Florence Lawrence, the Moving Picture Actress, Buys Up-to-the-Minute Auto.

It is a question whether any other player in motion pictures possesses an auto which so thoroughly com prises all the latest improvements in the automobile world as that of Miss Florence's recent acquirement. The little actress is a student of "conservation" and believes it the duty[ of everyone to adopt all the laborsaving devices possible. The machine has a coupe body and was modeled especially for her. It has an inside drive, an electric starter and the latest thing in head and back lights. The back part of the machine is fitted up in such a manner that a lunch can be cooked and served at a moment's notice while the machine is traveling and there is a disappearing lounge that can be used by Miss Lawrence if she feels like sleeping. In fact, the machine has been pronounced by experts to be the last word in autcs.

Now that the summer is coming on, Miss Lawrence will motor every evening out to her farm in Westwood, N. J., to be among her flowers and trees.

A SPLENDID LADY GALLED BY DEATH

MRS. BEULAH E. GETMAN, A CHURCH AND SUNDAY SCHOOL WORKER, AND PROMI­

NENT IN CLUB AND SOCIETY OF CITY, SUCCUMBS TO

DISEASE.

Beulah E. Getman, age 48 years, wife of William D. Getman, of 217 East Grant street, died at 6 o'clock Sunday evening, at the Methodist Hospital at Indianapolis, following a serious operation that was performed at 8 o'clock Saturday morning. Mrs. Getman had been in poor health since she suffered an attack of -typhoid fever a few years ago. Three weeks ago she went to Ausable Forks, New York, to visit her mother, Mrs. Margaret Taylor, and her health failed very rapidly until when she returned home Saturday, a week ago, her condition was very serious and a physician was summoned at once. She grew steadily worse. She was taken to the hospital, where the operation was performed in hopes of saving or prolonging her life, but all efforts proved unavailing. The body was brought to the home in this city Sunday evening.

The deceased was born at Galesburg, Illinois, November 20, 1865, and when a young girl, her parents removed to Oneida, New York, where they lived a few years, then moving to Frankfort, New York. Here she wras united in marriage to W. D. Getman, on January 23, 1884. In 1890, they removed to Harriman, Tenn., where they remained eleven years, coming to Indianapolis, where they lived about four years and a half. It was while they were living at Indianapolis that Mrs. Getman's father, John A. Taylor, died. About six months after the death of Mr. Taylor, Mr. and Mrs. Getman came to Greenfield, where they established their home and for almost ten years they have been connected with the church, Sunday school, society and club life of the city, in a way that won many warm and true friends, who express the deepest and most sincere sympathy and sorrow because of the sudden and seeming untimely removal of Mrs. Getman by death. The deceased was a prominent member and faithful worker in the Bradley M. E. church and was the teacher of a class of girls in the Sunday school, organized under the name of the "Beacon Lights," and was a member of the Sunday school board. She was treasurer of the Ladies' Society, second vice-president of the Missionary Society, a member of the Home Reading Club and of the Cosmopolitan Club and of the Eastern Star Order.

Mrs. Getman is survived by her husband, W. D. Getman, one son, Claude T. Getman, of Fort Recovery, Ohio, and one daughter, Grace M. Getman also her mother, Mrs. Margaret Taylor, of Ausable Forks, N. Y., who is in her 78th year three sisters, Cora M. Taylor, of Ausable Forks, N. Y. Mrs. R. W. Gates, of Memphis, Tennessee Mrs. J. B. Kenyon, of Brooklyn, New York, and one brother, W. T. Taylor, of Syracuse, New York.

Funeral Wednesday at 2 o'clock p. m., at the Bradley M. E. church and interment at Park cemetery. Hiram Eshelman, funeral director.

Funeral of Mrs. Getman. The funeral of Mrs. W. D. Getman will be held Wednesday at 2 o'clock p. m., at the Bradley M. E. church. Friends desiring to view the remains may call at the home any time after 10 a. m. Tuesday. The casket will not be opened at the church.

On account of the hot weather there was not a very large crowd in attendance at the sacred Melodian singing at the Baptist church Sunday afternoon. Those present, however, enjoyed the occasion, singing the old songs and music of half a century ago.

Home From Minneapolis. Philander Collyer and wife arrived at their home in this city Thursday evening from Minneapolis, Minn., where they went three months ago on account of Mrs. Collyer's health. Her health has been completely restored. They stopped at Chicago on their way home and spent a week with rela-
