NEW PASTOR ASSIGNED TO COLLEGE AVENUE
- -— ■ o
The Rev. Henry L. Davis, superin tendent of the South Bend District, has been asignde to the pastorate of the Colleg Aevnue church, according to the appointment list made public today by Bishop Leete, at Lebanon. LEBANON, Ind . Oc t 4-Bishop F. D. Leete and his cabinet have a diffi cult task in deciding on the the read, iustments in pastorates of the North west Indiana Methodist Conference, made necessary by the withdrawal of the Rev. Blaine E. Kirkpatrick, pastor of the Greeneastle College Ave. nue church from the conference to accept a call from a .Salem, Ore,, chur. ch The absence of Rev. Demetrius Tillotson who became suddenly ill on Friday and was removed to the Meth odist hospital in Indianapolis, has added to the complications. The assignments will b»t announced at tomorrow morning’s session. At the morning service today at the Methodist church Bishop Leete preached upon the need of Christianity in the reconstruction work of the world. He said that his ideal for America was not that it would be the richest nation in the world, nor the strongest, nor the wisest, but that it should be the truest,, a Christ ian nation helpful to all the other nat
ions of the world

FUEL COMMISSION INVEST1GAT OKS REPORT WHOLESALERS • TAKE” UP TO 100 PER CENT IN SOME CASES
INDIANA STATE CAPITOL, Sept 29.—Specific instances of coal pro. fiteering by jobbers have been un earthed by inspectors of the Indiana food and fuel commission. It was an noun cud today by Jesse E. Eschbaeh, -hairman of the commission, following the second public coal hearing at which the wholesalers made a plea for permission to charge 10 per cent | commision as the middleman’s profit, j Official reports turned into the com i mission today by inspectors,” Mr. j Eschbaeh said ..reveal that coal sold at an Indiana mine for $3,50 a ton I was being retailed in a n Indiana city j for $12,50 a ton. Further investigation brought to light that two ears of coal had been set on the rails in this particular city from the same mine on the same day. One car was nurchased by a retailor directly from the mine for $3.50 a to n and this deal e r w a s selling the coal for 8 a ton The other dealer purchased his ear from a jobber for $7.50 a ton an ( | was selling it for $12.50 a ton. Deducting the freight charges, the jobber in this instance made nearly 100 per cent profit. As a result of the activity of the wholesaler the public buying coal from one dealer was forced to pay $4 50 a ton more than the top mice being asked by the dealer buy
ing direct from the mine,”

A GREENCASTLE GIRL WRITES FROM TURKEY

the Delight of the Crcwd.
"T saw a mighty smart young g’: sting a horse trader and throw hi? doctored horse hack on him before everyone She examined the hors? closely about the ears for shot, anc smelt of the hoofs for turpentine II a horse Is lame through sore feet things can be temporarily fixed by heating turpentine and pouring it ovei the hoofs. For that matter, she went ' over that horse for all the trick? } known. Y’ou see. her dad was * | horseman. She took the eyes fnt j blindness, carted the norse to tv sun to see him blink, and examine! i his eyebrows to see If they were tri j angular or wrinkled. Evidently she , knew the trick of clearing a blind ; eye by belladonna or bloodroot Then | she came to the nose and laughed out when she noticed the nostrils had been slit a little In the thin part. Turning to the boy she said, "Give him a drink and run him around, and then we can see what this horse has got. When he came back I noticed signs of heaves, and. sure enough, that was what the horse had to a high degree. Everybody gave tho dealer the laugh to think ttiat n girl i could heat him.”—Farm and Fin-side.
A DEMOCRATIC KING.
The Fine Common Sense of Albert of
Eelrtium.
When King Albert of Felpium visited Paris In 1!G0 tt was noted that In his speech at the Elysee he referred to the llelgians as "my compatriots,’’ not “m> subjects." This way of speaking Is typical of one who delights above r.ll things In b-dni} democratic. Not long nefore ids accession the king and Ms wife went for a prolonged ramble round Belgium, studying provincial and local peculiarities and maintaining the strictest incognito throughout their journey. They lived in inns the life of the common people and d : d not disdain the rough resorts of fisher-, men and sailors. Their experience proved so favorable that the king apd queen have repeated it more than once, and It may be safely asserted that the knowledge thus gained by them of their "compatriots” Is without a parallel In the lives of Kur» pean monarch*.

While j Mr Dobbs had planned "what to do, a telephone call came from Mr Hamrick to the effect that no political meetings would be allowed in the F’or Ridge school house this fall The meeting was not held at the school house of course, but a better result was obtained than if ten meetings were held in that vicinity. Upon learning of the action of the trustee a number of the leading Democrats of that vicinity called on Mr, Dobbs nejft morning tendering the use of their homes for meetings and asking the chairman wha t work he desired done in the neighborhood in order to get out a full Democratic vote. While there was no speech at tho school house, chairman Dobbs is elated at the results obtained through the arbitrary action of the Republican
trustee.

KNUX, Ind , Sept 30. “It is wr I fair thaj the many thousands of dol lars which the citizens of various counties pay in auto license fees should not be expended on the main, tenance of their own roads,” declared Dr Carleton B McCulloch, Democratic nominee for governor, in an ad
dress here this afternoon.
*‘I have been touring the state in automobiles and I have a very intim ate knowledge of the manner in which the state has allowed our highways to deteriorate," he continued,If the counties had the jurisdiction over these roads and the fund derived from license's to expend on them, we would se a different condition of aff-
aira."
The candidate also charged the Goodrich state highway commission with extravagance and declared that it already had squandered more than three quarters of a milliin dollars in letting high priced contracts. He used figures taken from the commission’s records showing that the state had let contracts for roads at $6,000 more per mile than Marion county spent for hetter and wider highways.
