Tepmyr Flour
The Old Reliable Flour
Discriminating housewives who take pride in their baking prefer it for^ that reason. Made of only the most select wheat, it costs a trifle more than inferior flour, but one trial will convince you.

INTERESTING EARLY HISTORY OF DEPAUW UNIVERSITY
URGENT NEED FOR BUILDING HOMES IN CITY
EXPECT , r >0 PLAYERS AT FOOTBALL CAMP SOON
Fred Walker, DePauw University Athletic Director and football coach has returned from Culver on Lake Maxinkuckee, where he went last week to arrange for the football training camp to be established there this week. At least fifty football players are expected at the camp by Saturday ev ening of this week. Coach W’alker will return to Culver on Thursday and on Friday the players will be. gin to report. Friday and Saturday will see many DePauw me n i n camp and on Monday will begin probably the most strenuous football work a DePauw squad has ever gone throu. fcb.
The players will put in two weeks of work at the camp before coming to Greencastle to enroll for the fall term of school. This preliminary work is expected to put the men in fine shape for the regular work, which will begin here as soon as they get home from camp.
IOW A FARMERS TO USE CORN FOR COAL AS WINTER FUEL
According to Coach Walker the camp is in fine shape for the men. They will live in tents but will have the use of the Culver Military school gymnasium and showers In case of rain the men will be able to work in the large gymnasium so that there will be no let up. The Culver camp was established last year under Coach Buss and proved most successful.
WASHINGTON^ Aug. 22.—Iowa farmers are attempting to mature the largest corn crop in the history of the state with no prospect of a market, and Minneosota farmers are preparing to burn corn this winter in stead of buying coal, farmers today told the interstate commerce com. mission on an investigation of freight rates. Railroad by maintaining abnormal, ly high rates will lose the tariff on coal which the farmers would use this winter if they could sell their corn as well as fhat on the unsold grain, T. E. Cashmn, a Minnesota farmer told the commission Lower freight rates on gtain and hay he said in reply to suggestion by members of the commission, would increase the volume of traffic, not only on these commodities, but the increase would be reflected the added purchases by farmers of machinery, household goods lumber and other necessities
He has proven himself an educator of great ability and especially has he proven himself capable of carrying out'the building an^ re.modeling pro gram of the city. As Connersville is about to launch a school building movement, Mr. Dodson will no doubt prove a most excellent man to head the school system there.
A member of the Connersville school board was in Greencastle for two days last week investigating the schdol record of Mr Dodson an^ fol. lowing this investigation. He was called to Connersville on Saturday night when the school Jjoard there made him a proposition

Resigning at this time leaves the city school board without a school head at the opening of the school term, but Prof Dodson’s offer to re. main here an,] manage the opening of the school term, will relieve the school board members of any trou. ble in getting the schools started promptly and efficiently.
Although Prof. Dodson was offere,] the Connersville position on Satur. day night, he did not accept it until Tuesday, following the meeting of the Greencastle school board, at which meeting he tendered his resig. nation, which was accepted
The school board gladly accepted the offer of Prof. Dodson to super, vise the opening of the local schools As the Connersville schools open earlier tha n the local schools Prof. Dodson will be able to be in Conners, ville at the opening of the schools there and the n return to Greencastle for the school opening here. The lo. cal schools will open on September 12 which is a week later than had been planned.
Robert L. O’Hair, president of the Central National Bank and a member of the board of trustees of DePauw University has received an interest, ing relic of Old Asbury College now DePauw University, sent him by Wil. liam H O’Brien .banker of Lawrenre burg, Indiana. The book is a “Catalog of the of. ficers anrf students of the Indiana As. bury University for the year 1848. ” The book contained the names of the students of that year numbering 295 students. In addition to the stu dents the book carried the names of trustees, the faculty and general in. formation concerning the old school. This information proves to be inter esting at this time. Under one head “Incidental expenses” is to be found this gen: “Each student may need a. bout $5 per year for Society fees, and for voluntary contributions for public purposes. The amount necessary for clothing and traveling expenses var. ies much according to the habits of each student, that no general estim ate can be made. W T hat is usually called pocket or spending money, should rarely be furnished. It’s effect is “evil, only evil, and that con tinually.” Another paragraph says: “Boarding is obtained i n private fam ilies in town and in neighborhood at various prices Board onlv the stu. dent providing an^ furnishing his ow n room, at $1 25 per week. Board with room furnished, and wood, at from $1.50 to $1.75 per week. In commenting on the expenses to the student fees, the catalog says "The tuition in the collegiate and scientific departments is $8 per term and in the preparatory department $5 75 per term. The janitor fee, dp signed to meet the expense of fuel, for the recitation rooms of ringing the bell sweeping the halls and pub. lie rooms, and of keeping the build, ing in repair is $1 per term. The tuition and janitor fees must be set tied at the commencement of each term The faculty are prohibited by the trustees from admitting any stu. dent to recitation until the fees are
naid.
One of the last comments of the catalog is this. “All absences of each student from recitation .prayers and church, with his average as a scholar in each reci. tation, are recorded every week in a book prepared for that purpose. At the end of each term, and at other times, if desired an abstract of this record will be sent to the parent or guardian of each student.” Mr O’Hair will present the cata. ’og to the University and it will be filed among the archives of the Uni. versity.

‘There will be families living in tents right here in Greencastle and that too before snow flies, unless we get more houses built,” said George Harney, secretary of the Chamber of Commerce, at a special meeting of the board last evening. The meet ing had been called to take up some of the problems that the Chamber of Commerce is working on and the question of housing the many appli. cants for home' was one of them. Besides those already completed. Mr Harney called attention to the six or eight new homes under con. struction None of these houses will relieve the shortage sai^ the secre. j tary, as all are for new families or I those moving here and none are for rent The crying need is, for some four and five room houses for working i people. Just now we could use twen. j ty or more of this type of houses and i at 15 to 18 percent income on the mon
ey invested.
The lumber companies report that building material is down fully one half the former war price, and it is a well known fact that our skilled labor is not asking a war time wage. The time is right for home building The real estate me n report an ur. gent demand for homes Anv kind of a house is bringing big rental and some are profiteering on account of the pressing demand, Greencastle needs fifty homes. Keen investors should take this opportunity to make a fifteen percent investment by building a few small houses “Those owning up town business property will find much profit and help out in this pressing problem by fixing up a few flats and living a. partments over their stores.” said Mr Hamy else we will have to buy tents for the new comers.
