WILL BE POWERFUL
Will Be Located North of Till Scudder Home. Bigger Than Plant On Either Side.
The large pumping station which the Standard Oil Company is putting in in Brandywine township is located on the east side of the Fountaintown pike, about a quarter of a mile north of the home of ex-trustee, Till Scudder. The station is to be one of the largest field stations that the company puts in. The location is midway between the Brooklyn and the Hagerstown pumping station, but it is a much more powerful station than either of them. The oil which passes through the pipe line on which this station is located is pumped from the Illinois fields. The line extends to Bayonne, New Jersey, on the Atlantic ocean. It is said the comjany will spend 9500.000 on the station being installed in Brandywine township.

Talks of Oklahoma.
Chtu'ley Cox, formerly of Carthage, who left here ten years ago with his wife for Oklahoma territory on account of their health, is in Greenfield on business and will remain some time. Mrs. Cox was formerly Miss Kizzie Staley, a school teacher in this county, and a sister of Channing Staley, of the Wilkinson bank. When Mr. and Mrs. Cox went to Oklahoma they entered a tract of land in what was known as "No Man's Land," since which time has been divided into three counties. Their first claim was 39 miles from any railroad and for twelve months after going there their nearest neighbor was 65 miles away on their west. In the past few years the country has been settled rapidly by all classes of people from all countries. The land is good for farming and grazing, with light winters and long, warm summers, with cool night. With the exception of a few years now and then, the crops are better there than here, Mr. Cox says. Last year, he says, land that sold at $8 to $15 an acre produced from 20 to 52V-i bushels of wheat per acre that tested 62 pounds and also produced about the same amount of maize. Only once in ten years have the range cattle had to be fed and that was three years ago.
Mrs. Cox sutiered a stroke of paralysis last October and has been in poor health since. She expects to spend the summer with her brother at Wilkinson and then go to Florida in the fall, where she will teach school. Mr. Cox will engage in the insurance'business.

DfflLY PUBLICITY
Catalogue Houses Flourish Where Local Merchants Refuse to Advertise. People Trade
Where Invited.
The merchant who does not advertise on the excuse that he is doing alt- the business he can or cares for without it, is fooling himself every day. The biggest business concerns in the country have been built up and made successful by some form of advertising. Not a single exception is noted.
A grocer, clothing, dry goods or drug store may be busy all the time and the proprietor may be making money without using some sort of publicity. But if that is the case, it is all the more reason that that store should advertise.
If the employment of three clerks is profitable, the use of six would surely be more so, and advertising will bring the need for more clerks, meaning more business and larger profits.
There is a certain line of business in New Castle, not one member of which is a steady and persistent advertiser. One or two are periodic and spasmodic advertisers, but not a single one hammers away at the publicity game as many of their contemporaries in surrounding cities do. The result is that more complaint is made by the men in this line of business about the mail order competition than by any other. The reason is apparent and plain. The big catalogue is the mail order house's way of advertising. They would use the local newspapers, but the loyalty of the editor to home institutions bars them.
The catalogue goes right to the consumer. He looks it over and becomes interested in what it has to offer. The prices made look attractive and tempting by reason of the fact that he has no way of making comparison with local store's quotations on the same goods. In other words, they are not advertised.
That's why the mail order houses are shipping tons of groceries into New Castle and Henry county each year and it will continue and the local stores will keep on losing that business just as long as they do not meet the mail order house at its own game and advertise. Grocers in other towns and cities make it pay and it can be done here.
What the merchants of New Castle must do is to wake up to a realization of the situation and grasp the opportunities that surround them. Not a single store of any line in New Castle is doing as much business as it can and should. Good, cash trade is slipping away from town every day, either to the mail order houses, big city stores or even the small country sores.
If you want this business, you will have to go after it, for it will not come to the city without an invitation, and the way to invite is to tell the prospective customer what you have to sell and how much you are going to charge him for it.
In other words, come out of your shell, let the people know what you have to sell and get in on this extension of trade.—New Castle Courier.

"It is easy to use and quick to respond. No work. Just apply. It penetrates without rubbing." Read What Others Say:
Too much cannot be said of the importance of the coming of Pablo Casals, the greatest living cellist, and by many critics, considered the greatest string instrumentalist living. On the recent visit of Helen Ware in Indianapolis she urged a number of guests who were entertaining her to not fail to be present at the Casals Recital, as Fritz Kreisler had said he considered Casals the greatest musician one could hear. This is most gratifying as all artists today claim Cattals among the unique personalities in music. The management was willing to sacrifice all conditions to present this artist immediately to the Indianapolis and Indiana music-loving public and decided to engage him as an extra artist on the program already arranged for the season of concerts s-o that Indianapolis might keep in the front ranks of those musically informed in the United States.
Pablo Casals' return to New York after ten years' abrenee was an evelnt to which the metropolitan eritcs devoted unusual space and an extraordinary amount of praise. The Spanish cellist appeared on this occasion with Harold Bauer, with whom he had played all over Europe, and with Whom he formed a combination which seems likely to endure so long as both artists remain in this country.

Ona B. Talbott Fifth Subscribed Concert
CLOSING SEASON
Philadelphia, Pa.
1915-16
PRICES: $3.00, $2.50, $2.00, $1,50, $1.00—Order seats NOW.
The fifteenth annual season of the Ona B. Talbott Subscribed Concerts will present to the Indianapolis public three of the most important artists in their chosen art, for the closing and fifth concert on April 15, at the Shurbert Murat Theatre. Mme. Prances Alda, of the Metropolitan Opera Company, will be heard in Indianapolis for the first time. It baa been the desire of this management to present this artist a number of seasons because of her wonderful art as a recital singer. Mme. Alda also enjoys the distinction of beingone of the most beautiful and queenly women before the public. Those who remember the fine charm and beauty of Mme. Nordica years ago when she appeared in our May Festivals will see much of the some personality in Mme. Alda. Her work in the Metropolitan Opera House is too well known to need to be mentioned. Among the leading things this season has been her sharing honors with Geraldine Farrar in the revival of "Carmen" which has been the sensation of this season in the Metropolitan Opera House. The Aria from Puccini's "LaTosca" Mme. Alda has made particularly her own. This will be given on the program in Indianapolis.
The tribute paid Casals by Max Smith, of the New York Press, wais typical of the critical comments. "Bv many of the connoisseurs in Europe, now living, and his performance yesterday went far toward persuadingcompetent judges that such a lofty estimate is not greatly exaggerated--He manipulated tbe 'cello with lightness of touch, a delicacy and grace that made the 'cello seem at times almost more like a violin than an instrument of heavier caliber. Singularly free from the rasp so hard to avoid, particularly in rapid bowing, the tone Casals drew from the strings was not large, robust, exuberant. Like a singer trained in the school of Bel canto, he never forced the voice at his command, but within the dynamic limitations which he imposed upon himself, there was an extraordinary variety of subtle shading, and underneath the surface at all times sounded a note of human feeling, repressed, reserved, refined, but for that reason all the more poignant. Exquisite playing was this playing well nigh^perfect tethnally, well nigh flawless in intonation, and beautifully elaborate in nuance, in short the playing of a master."
Frank La Forge, the well known composer-pianist, will be heard in Sonata as well as accompanist for Aids. The complete program follows:
