AS OTHERS SEE INDIANAPOLIS £pclal to Indiaiui Dally Times * and Philadelphia'Public Ledger. By RICHARD SPILLAN®. On the Road. Nor. 11. THERE la a modest little stream called the White RiTer that meanders through Indianapolis. That is. It is modest as a general thing. But once erery ten years or so it goes on a spree, overflows its banks, does a lot of damage and then, rather ashamed of its conduct, resumes its former placid and orderly habits. The White River deserves attention on various accounts, but on none more than ' because plain, common-sense citizens do things along its shores that are just as cnrious as the periodical sprees of the rivor itself. For instance! Ton may see an earnest gentleman standing on the bank and casting as if his well-being depended upon the distance he threw his book and line. Day after day, week after week and year after year Indiana disciples of Izaak Walton gather on the banks and cast. Now, the memory of man does not go back to the time any one of these earnest and assiduous sportsmen caught a fish, but nevertheless they cast and they find great joy In their casting, and they brag about their casts as followers of golf do about their i ives or their putts. Almost as prominent on the banks of the River White as the casters who never Csh are the horseshoe pitchers who never shod a horse. Pitching horseshoes Is a thrilling affair with an Indianian. There is a space set aside in the park by the river bank for the horseshoe devotees. They can not get enough play in daylight, so the park commissioners have installed electric lights in the horseshoepitching "courts.” A gifted horseshoe pitcher la looked upon with as much respect in Indiana as if he were Booth Tark.ngton, Tom Marshall or David Gibson. The trainers igd “seconds” of the champion and near-champion pitchers growl and kick about the "delivery” of the opponent of their charges with a vigor and earnestness that equals similar bickering on the baseball diamond or In the prise ring. Horseshoes are weighed and examined just as carefully aa a pugilist’s seconds examine boxing gloves, and when a pitching contest Is on, the whole town (or at least the sporting element) la all “bet up.” Scientific gentlemen have been study-

lug long and earnestly to discover why it is the White River goes crazy once every ten years. All sorts of theories have been advanced without commanding much respect. So far no one has suggested that the river simply breaks loose in its impatience with fishermen who ca6t but never catch fish and sportsmen who put in their days and nights pitching horseshoes while never shoeing a horse.—Copyright, 1921, by Public Ledger Company. SAY BUSINESS IS GOOD DOWN MEMPHIS WAY (Continued From Page One.) active demand for furniture another hardwood manufacturer replied: "The explanation is in your reports. A large part of the furniture demand comes from the bungalow. Old people are breaking up housekeeping and putting their household goods in storage. Young people are building or buying bungalows and buying furniture. The construction work throughout the country is mostly for residential purposes and bungalows make up a lot of it. New furniture fits a bungalow. Old furniture does not.” Cement people say they did very little from October 1920 to June this year but then there was a change for the better and October showed the best results in twelve months and nearly up to the war peak. There has been a great deal of small building in the Memphis neighborhood and the outlook is good for more. Cement prices, considering high railroad rates, they eay, are down to pre-war levels. The head of the biggest wholesale dry good house in the South says. that from Sept. 1, 1921, he had troubles of his own. Most of his trade was In the Southwest. Prices were sagging and sales were slow—very slow. Beginning Sept. '1 of this year, there was abrupt Improvement until In October when he had all the business he could handle. He blesses the boll weevil. With the rise in the price of cotton, he says, liquidation of old acounts began. At present the demand for goods in the territory he serves is brisk and he expects a good business np to April next. Memphis Is declared ,to be the fifth largest food distributing center of the United States. Wholesale grocers here say they believe they have been punished more as a body than any other group of suppliers in the country but they state
that merely as a fact and not as a hard luck story. Prices, they explain, of the goods they handle began to decline a year ago and have kept going until now they are nearly 60 per cent frem the level at which they started downward. The rise in cotton has been encouraging, good collections are the rule and the outlook Is quite promising If for no other leason than that the liquidation in their line is complete. Cotton seed products are prominent In Memphis industrial list. From the several hundred thousand tons of seed crushed here annual’y In the cotton oil mills there come great amounts of oil, meal, cake, hulls and llnters. The oil goes Into cooking compounds, soap and various other lines. The meal makes a fine cattle food. The hulls are valuable In the making of explosives and the Haters are of many employments, particularly paper making. Memphis claims to have the largest plant in the Middle West south of Chicago for % the making of railroad and highway bridges. In fact some Memphis people look forward to a time when their city will be the Pittsburgh of the South.

INDIANA DAILY TIMES, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 11,1921.
There Is not much basis for sanguine expectation today In this regard, but that does not matter. Transportation, of course, concerns Memphis greatly. That there Is likely to be a considerable change Within a few years In the flow of traffic to seaboard no one wjio has made inquiry as to the freight situation In the Middle West can doubt. J. M. Walsh of the Illinois Central Railroad was one of the two dozen or more men of prominence who met your correspondent at the Chamber of Commerce. He said It was certain the freight movement to the gulf would be increased decidedly in order to relieve congestion

There never has been cor.gestlon In the South such as Is an anmill occurrence In the East and each yeir becoming more serious. He said be looked for tremendous development of the ports of the South and not of New Orleans alone. As to Memphis he declared U was the best situated of any in America from a railroad viewpoint as freight :ould be handled here cheaper and easier than at any other point of con contrition. Concerning railroads generally he said they had begun buying a couple of months ago and this buying would have developed more, but for the threat of
strike, which checked it. As to the financial condition of some properties, he instaned the case of one line, the president of which said some time back. "I don’t know where we are going to get the money to pay our men next month.” k Mr. Walsh said there had been improvement in railroad earnings and then a luU, the reason for the lull he did not know. As to the Illinois Central he said it was In as good condition physically as a year ago. There had been no cheeseparing and the management had maintained its equipment and roadbed in the best possible manner. Its equipment was the best, he believed, of any railroad in the United States today and

got more painstaking attention. There had been $27,000,000 spent for new equipment and all hands were ready to “carry on.” Bankers report an increaseof 20 to 25 per cent in collections in the last three months, the big Increase coming after the sudden advance In the price of cotton. Flour mills and packing establishments hereabouts are doing well. So is the drug business, which Is of considerable proportions and Includes various patent medicine concerns. But that Is not surprising. The patent medicine business always is good. That Memphis is growing and growing rapidly is evidenced by the increase of
