Despite the expert auctioneering of William D. Headrick, nominee for representative at the last election, $75 was the highest bid for the “splendidly accoutred” horse sold at auction at the Democratic Service Union rally held at Longacre park last night. The first bid was 25 cents. Vestal Davis, Wayne Township trustee, was the highest bidder. Auctioneer W. D. Headrick pr.dsed the dualities of the horse highly. “He- is accustomed to travelling up and down University Ave.,” he said, “and is well acquainted in Irvington.

MOTOR CLUB TO CUT BIGWEEDS War on Corner Jungles Is Being Waged. Weed cutting was started recently by the Hoosier Motor Club in a special effort to decrease the number of accidents caused by high weeds in vacant lots and along the highways. Weeds and brush have assumed tropical luxuriance during the past few weeks and have made many intersections very dangerous, according to Duane Dungan, president of the club. “There is no intention on ocr part,” said Dungan, “to relieve the property owner of his obligation by lwa to cut the weeds over his entire property in the city and along the highway outside the city limits, but our safety work demands that something be done immediately to stop the series of accidents caused by obstructed views. “Property owners in Indianapolis are required by ordinance to have all weeds cut and r .'moved before July 1 each year and s he State law

“Asa $2,500 piece of horseflesh, I caution you not to feed him any corn on the cob. Look at that valuable saddle and bride. They are worth almost $75 in themselves.” The Democratic rally was reported highly successful. Among the speakers were Albert H. Loscfie, excounty clerk; Frank P. Baker, attorney; Bright Webb, and D. W. Vories, members of the union; Stephen Clinehens, president of the union; Joseph Williams, attorney; Mrs. Olive B. Lewis, Democratic women’s leader, and Headrick, vice president.

requires property owners to cut all weeds and brush along the highways between June 15 and Sept. 1. Penalties are attached for failure to comply with the State law and the city ordinance. “Motorists can add to their own safety by strict observance of speed laws and by using extreme caution in crossing streets where the view is obstructed.” CORNCOBS DISTILLED ST. PAUL, July 22—One ton of corn cobs, recently distilled at the University of Minnesota, produced 5,843 feet of combustible gas, 76.2 pounds of acetic acid, 24 pounds of wood alcohol, 140 pounds of wood tar and 622 pounds of charcoal.

WAR BOOMING SHANGHAI Riches Flow to Safe Cities 09 Revolution Continues. Bu United Prtut SHANGHAI, July 22—Shanghai today possesses rar more wealth than ever befoie in its history. This is chiefly due to the silver stream that has poured into the city in the past few months from all over tho country, and to the influx of wealthy Chinese. Shanghai and Dairen are considered as two cities reasonably safe during the latest warfare. The preliminary negotiation.' that were supposed to lead up to tho revision of the status of the Tientsin British concession, brought about an evacuation of Chinese wealth to Dairen that was nothing short of phenomena'.
