(The Foot Philosopher) \ I jaunted in my motor car, and I" ‘n O'er Jimp oil's shote, and ' i-otn that creature knocked the tar; I . surelj got his goat. I offered payI men; for the pig—A; was neither I large nor fat but Jimpson made the I price too big; I Wouldn’t stand for I that. "The rankest graft I ever j saw,” J cried With rising ire; “be--1 fore I’ll pay I’ll go to law —a lawyer ; 1 shall hire.'' We went, to law; the ! case was tried by judges near and far; and now I gee the lawyer ride in my nice motor , car. I trudge along on weary feet, all hardened with disgust; the lawyer scoots ! along the street, and covers me with ! dust. Old Jimpson had a hundred j pigs, that feed on cockle-burrs; (they’ve gone id 1 purchase gowns and wigs for stately barristers. We stood last night by my abode, to cuss the legal rich; my lawyer motored down the road, and shoved us in the ditch. For such a dark and dismal shame there’s nothing can atone; the ear that climbed my palsied frame was formerly my ; _own. Oh, Jimpson had a hundred hogs, and I a cfioo-choo cart; and lie has nothing now but dogs, and I a broken heart.
Centennial News Letter.
Ambitious plans are being made for the state celebration of Indiana’s centennial at Indiana’s birthplace, June 2 and 3. A grand pageant will be presented under the direction of state pageant master, W. C. Langdon, which will portray
the beginnings of the state at Corydon. Addresses will be delivered btf Governor Samuel M. Ralston, Father John Cavanaugh, president of Notre Dame university, Congressman Merrill Moores, ex-Vice-President Charles W. Fairbanks, and ex-United States District Attorney Frank C. Daily. Both the Indiana university orchestra and the Purdue university band will furnish music. Folk dances and picturesque drills will be given by Evansville, New Albany and Jeffersonville school children. ... X !l e good old town of Corydon is noted tor its true southern hospitality and it- •.co-
de are making extraordinary preparation to take care ok, the thousands of visitors which, are expected from all over the state.. Madison county is busily prejarii g for a real county celebration to b‘ held .'Jay 25-27. The first day will be a ham--coming arid its festivities wiil take place at. Idle wood park, Pendleton, this old Quaker town; being the first. county seat. An exhibit of pioneer relics will be displayed al! day. Following a basket dinner. County. Chairman John L. i’orkner will make an address, followed by short: talks of a reminiscent nature. The rest of the three days celebration will take place at Anderson and will consist of a great historic and industrial parade on Friday, together with an- inspiring pageant presented by the school children of Anderson. Formal exercises and addresses will take place Saturday afternoon, with a county ath-
letic tournament in the afternoon. El wood will participate, but will later hold a celebration of its own, as will ajso Alexandria. The Huntington county celebration, the first to be held in the state, set a high standard of excellence. Both in preparation and execution j the observance was ideal.. Months! ago ..Chairman J. M. Seudder began i work in the schools in the intloduc--1 ion of Indiana history, thus prepar- i ing the way lor the real civic cole- \ ination. While one day of the week oi observance was given over to out of door celebration in the way of school; spectacles end tableaux, the main feature was the wonderful exhibit held in the court house. It was historic, in its excellent collection of relies, its reproduction of j historic spots in the county, such j as the old Indian trading post, the Wabash and Erie canal, an did stage coach, pioneer cabins and the old leg school house, and in the biographical, historical and descriptive manuscripts on Indiana and htiunI ington county, ft was also edric'a- ' • 'on it in.'contrasting the life and accomplishment r>f' the , pioneer days with the progress' and achievements "f 1910 as shown in the exhibits of the art, science and emit depart- ' •'■nt> of the; schools. And in every .sense it was thoroughly patriotic: and made for civic bet ferment. The i: j * unfingtoh .. centennial observance lv as in thorough keeping with the purpose and ideals of. the, Indiana historical commission arid is well worthy of emulation by the 91 other fouutiea of the state.
How a Saloon-Ridden City Protects Its Homes.
The 1916 budget of the city of ( liicago is $27,134,791. Of this the largest single item is the appropriation tor (he police department. The sum voted for police protection is ••■7,323, SS 3 , more than don hie the a mount for any other corporate purpoke. Vet the mothers of Chicago are having to take np the fight against the cabarets and drinking 1 laces whose flagrant defiance of civil and moral law has aroused public indigatioh. The Chicago lier--aLI tells how *"«»(• courageous women. tired of waiting, for official action that never came, ripped the mask from Chicago’s vice” on a recent alter midnight investigating tour. And these women were no; of those classed by the vice interest's as “fanatical reformers.” They were wives of aldermen, women of the civic leagues, high school teachers, members of the Women's Church Federation. The mothers and fathers of the boys and girls these vice resorts are bidding for, and other law-abiding citizens think it an outrage that women have to go out and do police work for the protection of their children” when the city appropriates over seven millions for that work and has more than 4,000 policemen on its pay roll. All of which sentiment will make it easier to vote Chicago dry when the question is submitted to a referendum of its men and women people.

“SPEED SQUINT” KNOWN WORLD OVER
LOUIS CHEVROLET came to the United States in 1008 to ride as mechanician with Victor Hemery. Chevrolet stayed. And today his is a name that is known almost as well as that of Henry Ford or John N. Willy's, for he is not only a race driver of unusual ability and courage, but his engineering genius has been immortalized in a car bearing his name. “It’s his eyes” Rill Pickens, King of the Barnstorming impressarios used to sav. Chevrolet drove for Bill during the lurid Buick racing days, and it was Chevrolet’s eyes that he guarded and cherished their safety over all other parts of his anatomy. Chevrolet wears goggles but not on his eyes. -They only serve to hold his cap tightly on his head. His “Speed squint” is famed the world over and is expected to serve him well in the Sixth International Sweepstakes race for the .100-mile distance Speedway on May 30.
In this one Chevrolet will drive a Frontenac, a car of his own creation about which little or nothing is known. It will be more than a dark horse in e Indianapolis event, for everyone who knows Chevrolet knows to fear him is - “ ■< <• Sss
