HIKER HEARS ABOUT TIPTON PROSPERITY
Note—Nell Gordon of The Times stall Is making a unique tour of Indiana—on foot and with the assistance of motorists who five her a lift. A story of her experience appears In The Times each day. By Nell Gordon Having decided to learn something of the industrial side of Tipton. I called at a bank and Inquired for the president, John Nash. He was very cordial in his reception. Invited me into his private office and Introduced me to his wife, who happened to be there. Mr. Nash recalled my story on vacant farm houses. “I was much interested in that article, it is an alarming fact, the number of vacant farm houses,” he stated. "What, in your opinion, has brought about this condition?” I asked. "The allurements which the city held for the young people,” he said. "Many of our best young men were drawn there. However, they are returning. In the cities they learned they must lead strenuous lives If they would get anywhere, and to many the city proved but a rainbow’. We are now able to see a returning and I believe that in three years time many of these vacant houses will be occupied. The best of the young folks are finding they can do better on the farm, and, although at the present time the movement toward the country Is slight, I can see a decided tendency that way among the young people.” Many Canning Factories “Tell me about the resources of your county,” I urged. "Tipton County is but twelve by twenty-one miles In area and yet we find nine of the largest canning
g< islpKpiljL>. i
factories In the State located within Its boundaries, so you see we have very fertile and productive soil. One third of the land of the county Is planted to corn, peas and tomatoes for the canning factories. The city of Tipton is not a town of much wealth but we have good factory pay rolls here. Our Incubator factory which labor and has a golden rule plan of payment has proven a wonderful blessing to the town.” “There Is another thing I would like to ask you Mr. Nash,” I said. ”1 tm told by working women, women who travel other States as well as Indiana, that they are more often approached in the State of Indiana by men who have bonds or share? to sell. Why is that?” "I guess,” said the banker, "our laws are a little loose there. I think they need tightening up a bit and then it would not be so easy for these floaters to operate In this State. ’ Tipton has been no exception. We have had them here too.” I thanked him for his courtesy and bidding him his wife goodby walked along the main street wondering which route to take out of the city when T was again offered a lift by a man who purchased goods of the ice cream factory. Inventing Ice Cream "Who Invented ice cream? Do you suppose it was a kid?" I suggested. "A woman is credited with that,” was his reply. “Dolly Madison, the wife of President Madison. It is said she had an Italian chef who insisted on serving a much-sweetened milk, chilled almost to freezing. Mrs. Madison conceived the idea of using
cream instead of milk And serving It in a solid state. It is said that the ice cream served in the White House during her time was not unlike that used today, and as ,far as history relates, she is credited with being the originator of the dish.” Arriving in Noblesvllle I passed the feed store of J. W. Beals, where I heard the conversation of a family reunion. I stopped to inquire. The Bray-Shelton reunion will be held at Brookslde Park. Indianapolis, on Aug. 16. This is its twenty-seventh reunion and about 200 of the family will be there. I left Noblesvllle late In the afternoon. Car after car of young people passed me without an offer of a ride. I decided I was doomed to walk to Indianapolis, when a Lizzie slowed down and a youthful salesman called out: “Aren’t you the lady who Is out. testing the hospitality of the motorists.” and moving about his leathei bags and an adding machine or two, he invited me to ride. I asked his name, but he refused. “You surely are not married,” I said. “No, but I am going to see my girl.” "And the boss doesn't know you are off the territory," I finished for him, while he grinned and nodded his head and then replied: “You guessed it.’’ 40 AND 8 PROMENADE Indianapolis Chapter M ill Give Affair Saturday Night.
