Have Good Part of North Side Ready For Neut.Tile—Workers Attract Attention.
Work on the new roof for the court house is progressing rapidly since it was started last week. It is a slow process at the best, as the old tile roof has to be removed, two by four rafters, sheeting and tar paper put on before the new tile can be laid. The workmen remove only a small portion of the roof at a time and then cover it ready for the tile immediately. It is a big task getting the old material down and the new material to the roof of the high building. The workers attract a great deal of attention as they walk about and work in an unconcerned manner high in the air that makes one dizzy to watch.
First Sale of the Season. The sale of Jacob D. Gates' personal property, the first sale of the season, occurrcd Thursday morning and was a success. There was a great crowd in attendance from all the surrounding country. Corn in the crib sold for 78 cents a bushel, one milk cow sold for $73, and farm tools and all stock and household goods brought fair prices. The sale amounted to about $1,000.

LONG DROUGHT BROKEN AT LAST
WELCOME RAIN FALLS, NOT AS MUCH AS WAS NEEDED, BUT ENOUGH TO HELP SOME
CROPS A GREAT DEAL.
The long drought in Hancock county has been broken at last, with two or three fairly good showers Friday afternoon and evening.
There was not nearly as much rain fell as was needed, but there was enough to benefit some crops a great deal, unless a another long dry spell comes. Some late corn, potatoes and pasture crops, also late tomatoes, will be benefitted and the air has. been clarified of the dust from the long dry spell. Dust was thick everywhere and was becoming unhealthy. While the rain was probably not general all over the county, many places heard from where the drought has been the most severe, were visited and the people are thankful. The rain, however, was accompanied by a severe electrical storm, which did considerable damage, but the damage is more than offset by the benefits.
Mrs. Bmery Hunt, who has been in Greenfield for a few days, assisting Mr. Hunt's father, returned to her home at Sulphur Hill, Thursday afternoon.
Dorcas Dodson and daughter, Bessie, of Henning, Illinois, are visiting the former's sister, Mrs. A. T. Reeves and family.

GREENFIELD REPUBLICAN, THURSDAY, AUGUST 13, 1914
WESTUWD SUNSHINE LADIES ENTERTAIN
Families of Members Were Guests and Most Interesting Program Was Cleverly Given.
The members of the Westland Sunshine Club did themselves proud last Thursday night when they entertained their families and a few invited guests at the beautiful home of Robert W. Brooks. It was a pleasant moonlight night, so the audience was seated in the north yard, facing the house. An open porch furnished the stage for the program.
After all were comfortably seated the president called for order and responses of current events were made to roll call. Some very good topics were given and proved to the men that the women were well posted on the events of the day. Time could have been well spent in discussing some of these topics, but the program was too full of other good things to permit it.
The next part of the program was filled by the junior members, who gave several recitations and Misses Mary and Virginia Gray sang a motion song.
Two very interesting papers, typical of club work, were well received by the audience. The first one, by Mrs. John Gray, gave us a general view of club work, its scope and its importance. The second one, by Mrs. R. W. Brooks, treated of the influence of mother and home qn the character of the child. Each of these papers were well worth while and contained many ideas worthy of careful consideration.
The instrumental music was furnished by Miss Mary Brooks and Prof. Landrus.
The crowning event of the literary program was a two-act comedy by eleven members of the club. This comedy was a take-off on the tendencies of humanity to want to be cured of all ailments, imaginary and otherwise. A Doctor Cure All prescribed for all with remarkable results, all of which, however, left the patients in a worse condition than before taking treatment. It was quite gratifying to the visiting men to notice that of all those who visited Dr. Cure All only one was a man. The play ended by giving the lesson that one should be content with one's lot and make the best of life as it comes. The parts were well chosen and the finished production showed that much time and effort had been spent in preparation. The ladies of the club deserve a hearty note of thanks for the excellent entertainment they furnished. „./
But the end of the program meant only a change in the evening's entertainment. The ladies had provided gallons of ice cream and almost a score of cakes. These were quickly passed around. Then they were passed the second time and still the supply was not exhausted. Finally all were asked to help dispose of what cream still remained, so no one failed to obtain all the "eats" he wanted.
As on all such pleasant occasions, time passed so swiftly that it was hard to realize that morning was so near at hand. The visitors were all united in wishing the club a very prosperous future and in thanking them for the very pleasant evening well spent. A Guest.

The law makes it the duty of the physician to report births to the secretary of the board of health now within a few hours after the birth occurs and these records are sometimes of great benefit to persons in after life. The records should be complete in every way, including full names. Some of the first names are left blank in the above list because they had not been reported to Dr. Allen when the list of names was copied.
TEACHERS IN EUROPE
One Greenfield Girl and Several From Rushville.
Among the thousands of school teachers of the United States who are in Europe now, is one Greenfield girl, Miss Jennie Jackson. She is a teacher in the Philippines, but left the islands some time ago to return home for a vacation. She was returning via England and it is possible that she is tied up some place in Europe on account of the war. Senator Kern has been notified and no doubt wheels of government will be set in motion to locate Miss Jackson and see that she is returned to her home.
The Rushville Republican says: In case of a general European war which today seems probable, the Rushville school board may have to search about for three new teachers for the Rushville schools because Miss Henrietta Coleman, supervisor of drawing Miss Helen Scott, supervisor of music, and Miss Genevieve Brown, high school instructor, are in Europe with a party of friends seeing the sights.
The party in which the three Rushville girls are traveling is now in Europe. With them are Miss Carrie Ong, of Columbus, Miss Zuella Raber, of Wolcottsville, and Mrs. V. P. Bird, of Greensburg.
Their tour was marred at the very outset by the mishap which befell the S. S. California, on which they sailed, in Irish waters. On Sunday night, June 21, tho California Hit' a rook off the northern Irish coast and all the passengers were the greatest difficulty.

AT PHILADELPHIA
BARN OF JOHN S. CURRY STRUCK BY LIGHTNING AND CONSUMED WITH CONTENTS,
SEPARATOR, HORSES, HOGS AND FEED BURNS.
John S. Curry, who lives on the west side of Philadelphia, on the south side of the National Road, had a big fire loss Friday afternoon about 4 o'clock, when his barn was struck by lightning during the electrical storm.
The barn and contents, including two horses, owned by Mr. Curry and his son-in-law, a sow and pigs, feed and implements and a threshing separator, owned by George Hook and Herman Atherton, were consumed. The separator was bought new this year. A large crowd gathered at the scene, but could do nothing but watch the flames. Mr. Curry's wife, who has been sick for some- time, was removed from her home to the home of a neighbor, farther from the fire. Mr. Curry formerly lived in Blue River township, going to Philadelphia about two years ago, and had the H. F. Wilson place. He is a farmer.
The insurance carried by Mr. Curry was in the Home of New York Company, James R. Walker agency.

Business Men Will Award $750— Promises to Be the Best Horse Show Ever Given Here.
The program for the Greenfield! horse show has been completed, and: it is the best provision ever made in this city for premiums. The: business men have taken hold of the enterprise and propose to make it the most attractive horse show that has ever been pulled off in this city. To start with, the people who are back of the show do not have any purpose to make any money out of it directly. They simply desire to attract a big crowd to Greenfield, and to stimulate the horse raising industry in Hancock county.To induce every man who has a good horse, to exhibit it, they have hung up $750 in prizes. This is the1 finest offering in the way of premiums ever placed in a Greenfield horse show. It should bring out a fine display of horses and a big crowd of people. The very bestbusiness men of the city are connected with the enterprise and wilk.' leave nothing undone to make it a. success and to satisfy every fair-: minded exhibitor that he will receive absolutely fair treatment in the exhibits. a
Let every citizen do something" to" help boost the show. Let it be made one of the best horse show.s in Eastern Indiana.
