LINK PUTNAM WITH OWEN CO-
Last week’s meeting was the best the local post of the American Legion has ever had After several talks by the members the post voted unani. mously to go on record, dedicating our future efforts an^ endeavors to. wards the betterment of our city. To make Greencastle a cleaner, a big. ger and a better city. A committee was appointed to act in conjunction with the Chamber of Commerce i n an effort to accomplish this result. The post was honored by the presence of two of our distinguished citizens. Ernest Stoner and “Cap” Harney, secretary of the Chamber of Commerce. Mr. Stoner gave the boys an interesting talk, gave his hearty approval of our plans and set for our example the efficiency of the post office here, relating the high degree of postal service which is being enjoy
ed by this city.
•‘Cap” Harney himseif an ex.service man addressed the post, was greatly pleased with our plans and said with the American Legion working with him his job of making Gieencastie a bigger and better city had taken new life Mr. Harney gave one of the best talks he ha s ever delivered in this city. He fanned the spark which originated at the meeting into a blaze of enthusiasm, and every member of the Legion left the hall last night with this resolution in mind, that he was going to be a bootser for Green, castle from here on in “It is an honor to belong to the American Legion” said Mr Harney “ the time will soon come when people will want to know if you belong to the Legion, if not why not”, altho your opportunities for increased membership are limited,
yet you have around 50C ex.soldiers 1 Starke. Marshall, L-aporte, St. to pick from in the county, and your Joseph.

*
Putnam with Owen county i n a joint representative district Already Putnam County i g linked with Montgomery county in a joint Senatorial district and should the present plan be carried out Putnam county would be without a “personal” representative in the State Legislature. Many times before it has been planned to link Putnam county with Owen or some other adjourning coun. ty in a joint representative district but always the plan ha? been fought so hard that the change wa? not made. It is probable, however, that the plan will be aerried through this time and the Putnam county will be linked with Owen. There is no plan to change the joint-senatorial dis. trict.

It’s a knock at yourself whe”' you knock your town; It isn’t your town— it’s you Real towns are not made by men afrai d Lest Somebody Else Get Ahead; When everyone works Rnd nobody shirks Yu can raise a tow,-) from the dead. And if while YOU make your per. sonal stake Your Neighbor can make one too. Your town will be what you want to see; It isn’t your town—It’s yon. Let’s a!! cut out petty jealousies and put our shoulders to the task and push and we will have a better an<j a bigger Greencastle There is plenty of business here for all, so don’t knock the other fel!ow > if you do the mail order houses will get the busi. ness, for you can’t get business and put in all your time knocking your fello w merchants. We are all neigh, hors and friends here we like our city so lets get together and make it a real place. Remember while yon are helping someone else to succeed yon are helping yourself also Our motto is “A BIGGER AND BETTER GREENCASTLE.”

Several members of the Republican state committee have been in Indianapolis to talk to leaders about the reapportionment. Each is anxious that it will have a fair chance of re. maining Republican Under the re. apportionment each district will have a population of about 242 000. It is certain that the subject of reapportionment will become a red hot issue in the Legislature as soon as the final | craft of the bill is completed and in. j troduced
