VONNEGUT FIRM’S DIAMOND JUBILEE HEM WEEK Hardware Company Founded by Pioneer Who Came to City in Stage Coach. Early days in Indianapolis are recalled in the announcement that the Vonnegut Hardware Company is this week observing the diamond Jubilee of its establishment In Indianapolis. The firm was founded in 1852, shortly after the late Clemens Vonnegut, native German, came to America and t o Indianapolis. At first Charles Vollmer, a long time friend of Vonnegut, was associated With the firm, but Vollmer and Vonnegut decided to follow separate paths in 1857. Arrived by Coach Clemens Vonnegut followed a painstaking path to Indianapolis from New York. Coming to Cincinnati by rail, he then boarded one of Horace Wood’s stage coaches and bumped and groaned his way to Indianapolis. For years, even until 1898, Vonnegut’s store was a banking place for residents of the district who refused to put their confidence in the banks. Many names famous in Indianapolis history appear on the firm's books. Believed In Exercise It was Clemens Vonnegut who first introduced into the public schools a course in physical education. Unable to convince the school board that such a course would be beneficial to the students he induced the Indianapolis Turnverein to pay the salary of a teacher of this course. In 1896 Clemens Vonnegut retired from active control of the firm, turning it over to his three sons. He died in 1906, when he ’was 82 years old. Today the firm is managed by the two remaining Sons, Franklin and George, Clemens Jr., having died in 1921. These men, with Carl J. Printer and four Vonnegut grandsons compose the board of directors of Vonnegut Hardware Company. While Greater London’s population goes on increasing steadily, the city itself now has a popluation of only 13,250, compared to 128,129 in 1801.

MR. T. A. CAPLINGER

(address Route I), near Indianapolis, In a statement which he gave personally to the Konjola Man just a. few days ago at The Hook Drug Store, Pennsylvania and Market Sts., this city, where he \s daily explaining this surprising new medicine to large crowds of people. “X had stomach, kidney and liver trouble for years N ” said Mr. Caplinger, “and nothing would help my .or end my trouble until I got Konjola. “My stomach was very bad, always in a sour, acidy, gassy condition. After meals I would bloat up until I could hardly breathe. If I tried to walk up stairs I would puff like an engine. I had a great deal of misery from weak kidneys, which caused my back to be sore and achy. At had to get up several times. Besides these miseries, I had liver trouble, which brought on dizzy spells and constipation. My nerves were pretty shaky and I never knew just when I might be laid up entirely. “With all these miseries I began taking Konjola, and I want to say that this medicine helped me the first day. In a couple of weeks I was feeling better than I did in years, and I continued with this medicine until now I hardly know that I ever had a sick day in my life. My stomach never gives me a inin-0 ute of trouble and I am eating anything I want. The indigestion pains aro gone and 1 never havs the gas bloating or shortness of breath. My kidneys are in good condition, so that my back is free of pains and I don’t have to get up at night. My nerves are steady. The dizzy attacks never come over me any more, because my is in good condition, and I am not troubled with constipation. I never feel tired or worn-out like I used to. \ “All of tills great relief has made me feel like anew man, and 1 strongly indorse this Konjola medicine to others who neetV it.” The Konjola Man is at Hook’s Drug Store, Pennsylvania and Market Sts., Indianapolis, where lie is daily meeting the local public and introducing and explaining the merits of this remedy. Konjola is sold in every Hook Drug Store in this city and all druggists throughout this section.—Advertisement.

vest hands, hitherto imported each year from the east and north. Therefore this season fewer college boys will earn money to pay for next year’s schooling by shocking grain behind cranking binders or pitching grain from the header into mammoth threshers and fewer thousands of men will converge in Kansas, in June, to spread over the country like locusts to live off the harvest. By harvest time this year there will be in Kansas alone more than 12,000 combines, which will be able to harvest 6,000,000 acres of wheat without the help of harvest hands. Even in Missouri, where the binder has heretofore sufficed, smalj combines with 9-foot, cuts are being distributed in large numbers. The large combine, drawn by a tractor, cuts a 16-foot swath, threshes and sacks the grain and

By this system the farmer can harvest 50 to 75 acres a day against twenty acres a day under the old system when he had 20 harvest hands, who had to be fed and provided with lodgings. Last year, although the coming of the combine was recognized by the Kansas College of Agriculture, calls for hired help were sent out which provided serveral thousand more men than were The agriculture department made a survey in the State and found that nearly 9,000 combines were used in the harvest in 1926. Since that time, a survey indicates, at least half that number will be
