Tons of Beans Used Yearly By State Principal Diet at Twenty Institutions —Bids on 30,000 Pounds.

Beans to the right of ’em; beans to the left of 'em! Since beans form the principal diet in the State's twenty correctional and charitable institutions, it behooves the State to buy a few now and then. The State purchasing committee will open bids Thursday on 30.000 pounds of the commodity. Os the lot, 18,000 pounds, the supply for the coming three months, will be consigned to the State Reformatory. Tons and tons of beans are consumed in a year, according to Mrs. Blanche Miller, purchasing department secretary. Bids will be opened on groceries and laundry supplies for the next quarter year. Owing to the high price of potatoes, generally the topnotcher on the public menu, the department has switched to beans, hominy and rice. CARRIE’S FIRST SAVED Saloon Where Famous Crusader Started Carefully Painted. KIOWA, Kan., March 16. —A little building, very unobtrusive with a pointed roof and false front now gets a coat of pain occasiona'ly to withstand the hardships of the elements, because Kiowa residents point with pride to it as the place where Carrie Nation got her start as a saloon buster. It was here that Mrs. Nation let her wfath, breaking up the furniture and windows, after her husband came home unconscious and penniless because he indulged .too much* In this little false front . building. Carrie was a hard working woman, taking in washings for a living, so the old settlers tell, in order to buy groceries for the family. But this was the occasion she first wielded a hatchet and announced she would start out on a campaign to put saloons out of business, that finally led to her crusades to all parts of the country and brought, her nation-wide publteity.

COURT ORDER IN SITE ARGUMENT (Continued From Page One) change Is made $42,000 will be lost to taxpayers because of the changes in plans.” “To change the location will be contrary so the interests of taxpayers, schools, children and against public policy,” the petition read. Loss Is Cited It charged that the new board In office two months attempted to undo all the work done by former boards over a period es several years, and to cast aside the plans, at a loss of $42,000. The petition alleged that the board went ahead with the agreement to purchase the property without legal right because the territory is zoned for residenbes and dwellings only. Petitioners avered the taxpayers have a right to know the reasons of the board's “hasty action.’’ Question of Frontage It was alleged that the board entered into an agreement to buy the new location without knowing whether the frontage along FortySixth St., lots owned by the heirs of A. B. Kauffman, could be bought outright or had to be condemned. * “A continued delay will cause Injury to the children’s health,” the petition read. ‘Passage of the resolution to enter Into an agreement to buy the FortySixth St. tract was contrary to Sec. 364, Indiana school laws,” it also charged. It was pointed out that a resolution to expend any amount of money over S2OO can not be acted on until at least five days after presentation or at the next regular meeting of the board. • The board rescinded this resolution at the last meeting. It was reintroduced and tabled until the next regular meeting. “The board must have a budget expenditure for this, according to the Indiana school laws,” the petition alleged. ‘“The board has no right to contract to buy without an appropriation. , “There has been no resolution on the part of the school board to explain the advantages the Thirty-Fourth St. site.” Procedure Given The procedure of former boards and of the present-board in buying the Thirty-Fourth St. site, the moves to sell it and buy the Forty-Sixth St. tract and the sale of Shortriifge High School, Michigan and Pennsylvania Sts. were given in detail. “Plaintiffs aver and declare that the purpose of the school board to sell the Thirty-Fourth St. tract and to devote money otbained to buying new and larger site, is contrary to law in this, to-wit: That if said site is sold the money derived therefrom goes into the special school fund and not Into the buildings art! grounds fund and cannot be used for the purpose declared in resolutions, until said board has adopted a budget as provided by law,” it said. It was pointed out that at a hearing before the State tax board on the $1,200,000 bond issue the tax board tentatively approved the bond issue provided that the school was erecte donthe Thirty-Fourth St. location. The complaint also stated that recommendations of the Shortrtdge High School Parent-Teacher committee to aid in selecting anew site, were ignored by the board. The Thirty-Fourth St. site Is scheduled to be sold at public auction at 10 a. m. March £4.

Board Commended School patrons and residents favoring the Forty-Sixth St. site held a mass meeting at the Meridian Heights Presbyterian Church Monday night and adopted a resolution commending the board for selecting that location. Official count showed 247 persons attended. Despite arguments in favor of the school at that location, several persons, among them B. M. Forbes, lumber dealer, and G. A. Millett, Welfare Association members, opposed it. William .Hayward was elected chairman and B. D. Yarion, secretary of the meeting. Harry Shepard spoke on “Why the School Board Sought a New Site.” He stated one of the reasons given him by board members was that the old board “didn’t seem to have any foresight.” He declared architects, who drew the plans, pointed out some of the defects permitted by the old board to “the new majority faction.” He said to build the school on Thirty-Fourth St. would necessitate expensive construction, and that the structure would be so close to Thirty-Fourth St. that the “rumble of street cars” would cause interruptions in studies. Saving Foreseen He declared the charge had been made that $42,000 will be lost in plans if the site is changed. He said some of these plans can bo salvaged, and if the building is erected on Forty-Sixth St, $200,000 can be saved because of lighter construction. ! Shepard said Forty-Sixth St. residents were overjoyed when the board selected the site, but “there came a wail from the southland," and that a group near Thirty-Fourth St. was spreading “propaganda to poison the minds of the citizens.” D. W. Goldrick said as a. realtor he resented the statement that the Indianapolis Real Estate Board unanimously favored the ThirtyFourth St. site. Using a map, he said the amount of ground that can he obtained on Forty-Sixth St. for SIBO,OOO will cost $210,000 on ThirtyFourth St. “Great Board” “This present school board will go down in history as one of the greatest boards we’ve had for locating the school on Forty-Sixth St.," he said. Dr. T. J. Beasley, family physician of Mrs. Sedwiek, pointed that from a health and moral standpoint the Forty-Sixth St.' location far exceed- ■ ed the Thirty-Fourth St. location. Millett pointed out advantages of the Thirty-Fourth St. site as to transportation and convenience to the majority of patrons. “We need a school immediately, an l the plans are ready for the Thirty-Fourth St. site," he declared. Goldrick said he agreed with Millett, but that the welfare association

COW HORSE IS RETIRED “Muggins,” 36 Years Old, so Be Sent to California Ease. GREELEY, Colo., March 16.—A veteran chestnut, “Muggins,” the oldest, best-trained cow-horso of the western plains, soon will leave pastures here to spend the rest of his days in a well-earned rest in California. “Muggins,” now 36 years old, has been in more western round-ups and has had more cattle, horses, calves and colts roped from his back than any other horse in America, riders that know him of old say. “He's got more ‘cow sense’ than any other horse, too.” they add. “Muggins” has never felt the steel of a hit in his mouth. He was broke with a hackamore and has always been ridden that way.

Bv United Press PALM BEACH, Fla., March 16 The humble fishermen who earn their living along the same coast here where millionaires play have been spurred to pursue their task with greater zeal by the loss of a $25,000 diamond bracelet, the Christmas present of Albert B. Dick of Chicago to Mrs. Dick. A hungry barracuda Is believed to have run off with the diamonds when Mrs. Dick dropped them overboard as she stepped from her yacht the “Chieftain” upon her arrival here recently. Divers were sent down to the bottom which Is sandy and firm and strong search lights were turned on the water at night, but the searc h was futile.Seasoned fishermen have advanced the theory that a hungry barracuda pounced upon the diamond as they would very likely attract his eye.
