COME, LET’S GO! IS LIVE MOTTO OF AUTO SHOW Time for Trade Regeneration, Says Head of Auto Association. By HOMER C. KATHROP, President Indianapolis Auto Trad© Association. We don't often look to poets to hand out hard-headed business sense, but Edgar A. Quest has penned the following verses which certainly tend to put a crimp In the crepe hanger's lament: There Isn’t any business— Aren’t you weary of the cry! Men hare caught the gloomy habit And they sit around and sigh. But the hustler, 1 have noticed, Who has quit his easy chair And is confidently working. Seems to gather In his share. It's time to get the business; It’s time to hustle out With a man’s faith In the future— Much too long we’ve scattered doubt, Much too long we’ve sobbed end whimpered. Much too long we’ve talked of woe; Kow it’s time for optimism. And the hopeful shout: “Bet's go!" —Copright, 1922, by Edgar A. Guest. Members of the Automobile Trade Association In Indianapolis certainly have rerson to Indorse the poet's sentiments Jutt prior to the final arrangements for the State automobile show to be held In the fairground pavilion March 6 to 11, because we are determined to make this the most elaborate exposition of motor vehicles ever seen In Indiana and we are leaving nothing undone that will add to the beauty of the stage settings or the comfort and convenience of the visitors. AUTO INDUSTRY IS WAKING TP. We thus wish to testify to the broad domain of Indiana and the rest of the kind world the automobile industry is again to lead In the spring revival of business. We did a pretty good job of reviving last spring, but Old Man Gloom staged a come-back on us last fall. We fully believe, with new low prices and everything that we have Mr. Gloom thoroughly hipped now and headed for the mat. There is no bunk in our psychology, because we are backing our faith with more money than ever before, determined to outdo all former efforts. We certainly are out of the ruts. We are stepping on the gas and I now urge all lines of business to join with us in gleaming instead of glooming. “When millions of men buck up, think •up, talk up, we’ll all wake upThis is one of the striking slogans used by the Rotarians In their nation-wide bill board campaign. To this we are adding a fervent “Amen!” and I believe firmly the spring auto show will buck things up mightily. Similar shows held in other cities have already had a healthy effect on business. With the Indianapolis show coming after the price cutters have done their surgery and with the market now stabilized at the new low levels. I believe we have a better chance to buck up than other show cities had. EVERT SIXTH HOOSIEE OWNS AN AITO. There is one motor vehicle for every 6ix persons in Indiana and it is safe to assume every family In Hoosierdoin is interested in the automobile and things pertaining thereto. We really ought to have a tremendous attendance record ’ this spring. Indianapolis folk have been ! negl gent In their attendance and our record Is lower than that of other cities not so well situated. I ask the motor fans now to begin bucking up, thinking up and talking up. Say a good word for the Hoosler show. Tell your neighbors and friends you are going. Let’s all buck up. The alarm clock is ringing the “rise and shine” call for business, right now and insistently. Let’s everybody snap into it and Indiana will be wide awake by the Ides of March.

INSECT EATING PLANT FLOWER SHOW EXHIBIT Rare Specimen to Be on Display ct Exposition of Florists. An Insect eating plant, oje of tbs few forma of .plant life of tbis kind known, will be among the rare and unusual plants and Sowers to be seen at the fifth national flower show of the Society of American Florists and Horticulturists, which is to be held at the State fairground at Indianapolis, March 25 to April 1. The “pitcher plant," as it is often called, is technically knoven as Nepenthes, and thriving best only in the heat of the tropics, is usually found in Borneo, Madagascar and Ceylon. Tbis strange plant has been nicknamed the “pitcher plant” because the extension of its lew' terminates in the perfect form of a pitcher, lid and all. If insects, such ns bees or files, once explore the inside of the pitcher they never escape, as it is imposslblfe for them to climb up the interior walls of the pitcher, and they are finally drowned in a fluid contained in the pitcher, which Is capable of digesting certain kinds of animal matter. The pitchers closely resemble in shape the bowl of a large pipe, five or six inches in depth, although some of the largest pitchers measure eight inches in depth by three inches in width. Clarence 11. Greene, chairman of (he special feature committee, is arranging to have one of the exposition days set apart as rose day, and another carnation day. On these days flower growers from all ove.r the country will have on display the finest roses and carnations that can be produced by modern science, and thousands of rose plants and cut flowers will be given away. In making plans for the exposition every suggestion is tested by a high standard of beauty and educations! Talue, which has been set for the show, with a view to making it an event unsurpassed in beauty and loveliness. Millions of flowers will be banked along the wlndlug paths, Which are to be laid out on the floor vi the Manufacturer's building, and tnere will be no ugly wooden boofhs to interfere with effect which 'the display is Intended to give of a vast garden, of exquisite beauty. Plans are now being considered by the transportation committee for reduced rates on interurban and steam roads during the week of the exposition, if

special fares are granted, thousands of the school children of the State, who will be on vacation during the week are expected to come to Indianapolis because of the educational value of the show. Not only will growing plants and cut flowers be distributed among the visitors, but seeds and flowers catalogs will te given away, and people will be told how to cultivate flowers to the best advantage, and how to employ them for practical decorative purposes. SAYS GAME HOG MUST BE MADE TO OBEY LAWS Education Favored by Official With Force Alternative. “Educate the game hog If you can for that will be of lasting benefit, and true progress; if he won’t learn (hen plead with him or shame him into desisting from his nefarious practice, but If all these methods fall, prosecute him to the limit,” admonishes Gustav J. T. Meyer, president of the Indiana Fish, Game and Forest League, in a bulletin issued under supervision of the State conservation department. Mr. Meyer says the game and fish hog is so vicious and active a citizen that ail-the-year-round work is needed to combat his efforts. He advocates members of protective societies be cheerful and hopeful when considering the “hog,” for It is persistency that counts, and there are new ones developing all the time. Mr. Meyer’s letter In part says: GAME HOG OFTEN TAKES HINT. “Remember in counties where there are strong fish and game protective associations, the game hog often takes the hint and saves you the trouble of reforming him. Ever since laws were enacted, It has been a violation to go through another man’s pocket, yet we always have someone trying that very thing. Violation, in many cases, comes from ignorance as, for example, when boys trap for fur before it is prime and, when they attempt to market the plunder, find It Is practically worthless. “The game hog makes all the trouble. It is he who enrages the farmer against all shooting and fishing. It is he who continually finds fault with the game wardens and the laws. Ton will find the game hog in all stations of life. He may be from the city, the village, or from the farm, but wherever he is game is destroyed and all lawful fishing and hunting suffer through acts which he perpetuates. SAYS PROTECTION IS IMPORTANT. “If the game is conserved, and only that taken which is a surplus over the breeding stock, Its value as an asset to the different countries will continue to be tremendous. The law’s intentions are to obtain a regular crop each year, looking to the future by holding sufficient stock for breeding purposes. Take fur trappers, for example. The law regulating such is Intended to give the animals time and sufficient cold weather for the fur to set properly, Just as you would let your corn crop ripen before hauling It to market. Most all of the fur taken before the law opens is what dealers cal! 'unprime fur,’ and commands only a small price.” Mr. Meyer suggests if any member has a grievance to thrash It out in the local association, then put it in the form of a resolution and have a delegate bring It to the State league.

The press credits the play with many excellent qualities, Including that of very good acting and staging. This week we have In prospect a revival of “Mrs. Warren’s Profession,” with Mary Shaw, George S. Kaufman and Marc Connelly’s “To the Ladies,” with Otto Kruger and Helen Hayes, “The French Doll,” with Irene Bordoni, “For Goodness Sake," with Helen Ford, and a translation of “The Rubicon,” which will have Violet Heming.

Charles Trowbridge, Queenle Smith, OUn Howland, Edgar Nelson, Nellie Graham Den and Ruth Williamson, together with a “rosebud” chorus. This looks good from the distance. Early next week Emanuel Relcher will act “Flirtation” with his own company at the 15th Street Theater. This was done here before as “The Reckoning” and is by Arthur Schnitzler. We are promised some more performances of The Theater Bi Ba Bo with Galina Kopernak, the brilliant Russian actress who is now in “Montmartre.” She gave her initial performance of this original entertainment last spring, and since the Chauve Souris came to town we now know that Miss Kopernak anticipated their form of entertainment by nearly a year. James D. Barton, Just returned from the Orient, where he managed the world wide tour of Julian Eltinge, departs again in a fortnight with anew company, the feature of which will be Pallay Anna, the Hungarian dansense and a Supporting cast- The tour will Include all the Far East and Orient, and will be of two years duration.

Adolph Zukor to appear In her stage success, “Queen Elizabeth.” That established the ten years of successful screen entertainment which will be celebrated during March as the tenth annlverasry of pictures, by every one interested in this fourth largest industry In America. What changes ten years have brought about for the theatergoer! From the squalid, old nickelodeon we have evolved the picture palace of today. The players who scorned the movies until Sarah Bernhardt, greatest of them all, saw the possibilities of the films, are now more Interested in the screen than in the stage. Folk who used to sneer at the movies are now flocking to see them—fifteen million strong every day. And ten million of these see Paramount Pictures, product of the genius of Adolph Zukor, the movie magnate who this year offers more than one hundred and thirty feature films as successors to that first feature film starring Sa’rah Bernhardt. The history of the motion picture industry Is entwined with the history of the Famous Players-Lasky Corporation, of which ho Is president. Every player
