HAPPLNINGS IN OUR NEIGHBORING VILLAGES

JACKSON TP., NEWTON COUNTY Dr. C. E. Triplett of Morocco is taking treatment at a Chicago hospital. It Is dry and this doesn’t refer to the prohibition amendment either. The world has reached that stage, it would seem, where human happiness Is governed largely by the condition of the Inner tube. When It comes to stirring up intestinal wars even Dutch Bill will have to acknowledge the superiority of the lowly roasting ear. The good housewife will have to hustle this year to find fillin’ for those cans. Even that old standby, the blackberry crop, will be short. The weather for harvesting has been pleasant most of the time this season, there being little of the extreme heat which usually comes with this line of work. Mrs. Ben Geesa of Colfax township, whose son George went to France early In the war and who was killed In action July 19, 1918, was advised of his death only just recently. Mrs. Christine Robinson, who had been In failing health for the last two years, died at her home in this township last Saturday night at the age of about 60 years. She leaves a family of four children, all grown. Wheat threshing began generally the first of the week. As the writer predicted early in the spring, the yield will be light, probably an average of 20 bushels an acre. The oats yield will be much below that of last year. If we owned Warnie McCray’s farm and bunch of Herefords we just naturally wouldn’t waste time over a little office like that of governor. No, sir; we’d just hang

around the old place and gloat over our possessions. Nocturnal prowlers of the biped species will kindly beware. An organization has been effected in tnis township, the duty and pleasure of which, as we understand it, will be the suppression of thievery generally and chicken thievery in particular. And then, too, when you are depressed, discouraged and Just about ieady to give up the fight, it helps some to recall the words of Giles Hoggett in “The Last Chronicle of Barset” —"Tell 'ee what, Master Crowley, there ain’t nowt a man can’t bear if he’ll only be dogged.” It takes children to say cute things. A little boy in this neighborhood was explaining the -mechanism of the automobile the other day and when he came to the emergency brake remarked: “This, now, is what we call the ‘mercy’ brake. We use it when we don’t want to run over people.” Wayne Blankenbaker, 8 years old, shows strong symptoms of some day becoming a cold, unfeeling millionaire. He planted a corner of the garden this year much in advance of the usual time for planting, and now he is selling “mom” green goods from that plot of ground at almost prohibitive prices—cash in A farmer, not a hundred miles from here, we are told, threw broken bottles into his stock tank in order to discourage the boys of the neighborhood from using It as a bathing pool. The boys naturally felt hurt over the matter, so much so that they forgot (?) to bhut the farmer’s gate and as a result cattie got into the field and destroyed about an acre of corn, and this ends chapter the first.

ing Kankakee. We were in a desperate hurry, being billed for Water Valley, Shelby, Cedar Lake and points further north, but he held on and would not be denied fintil we had heard the story of his life. Later, while the chauffeur was giving "Henry” a drink the "second white child” drew up alongside and in a 2% alcoholic voice told us about it again—this time with a wealth of detail. When we left him he was drawing a diagram in the sand, showing the spot where he and Bige Fullenwater killed the last bear seen in northern Indiana. We have been told frequently and oft that in the early days, when people heard the gospel preached only on occasions when the circuit rider could swin the river or cross the mountain, everybody was honest —that a pioneer could leave a dressed hog hanging out and go to bed tflth the calm assurance that said porker would be there io the morning; in short, that a decent respect for the rights of others was the rule everywhere. “Well, what are you driving at,” do you ask? Nothing, nothing, only this matter occurred to us the other evening after being tbld about that meeting to devise ways and means for the suppression of thievery in this locality, In this day and age. with all of our so-called advancement, with all of our wealth, our costly churches, our sanes and minarets, and with culture and refinement rampant, as you might say.

THE HIGH LIGHTS ARE TURNED ON

REPUBLICAN ORGAN TELLS THE TRUTH ABOUT STATE FINANCES. Wretched Condition at Several State Charitable and Other Institutions Described. Indianapolis, July 23. —In an even tempered and carefully prepared article the Indianapolis Star, organ of the Republican party in Indiana, lays bare the complete breakdown of the financial policy of the Goodrich administration, for which the party alone Is responsible. The Star, with amazing frankness goes on to tell of the deplorable condition of the state institutions and shows that under the circumstances a special session of the legilature is unavoidable. The Star says:, "Indiana’s state-maintained institutions, in not a few instances, a/re ®ot only ‘broke’ —they are threadbare. "Institution heads are no longer trying to keep up a front on an empty purse ; They are now freely

admitting that they have practiced every economy possible in the way of curbing maintenance costs, and as a result the 18 benevolent, corrective and penal institutions are so run down at the heel that it will take a huge sum to rehabilitate them. "Facts showing all too plainly the sad Impoverishment of the state institutions have been known for some time to officials at thq state house. It was this knowledge that actuated Governor Goodrich in deciding nearly four weeks ago to call a special session of the legislature to appropriate money for the tapidly-growing deficits. "Names of institutions in which the shortage of funds has been acutely felt were withheld yesterday, owing to a desire not to embarass the directing heads with inquiries from the relatives of wards, but it was admitted that at several of the institutions the enforced economy has reached even to table fare.” It is easy to imagine what the

Republican press and the GoodrichHays machine would be saying if these conditions had existed during the administration of Governor Marshall or Governor Ralston, both of which were severely criticised by Governor Goodrich during the campaign of 1916. The Star has aroused the Ire of the Republican machine by boldly printing the facts. Continuing its article regarding them, it says: “As an illustration of the drastic economies that are practiced in an effort to defeat the high cost of living, one of the institutions, whose inmates are children, has been forced to manufacture an improvised breakfast food. To take the place of rolled oats it has been found necessary at this institution to crush wheat in a cattle feedgrinding machine in order to obtain food for the morning meals. “Even butterine has virtually disappeared from the menus for the inmates of state institutions. Butter was on the prohibited list long ago. In some of the institutions, however, where the inmates are suffering from physical or mental ills, the superintendents have steadfastly refrained from substituting coarse foods for the more nourishing articles.” The conditions to which the unfortunate inmates must submit are referred to as follows by the Star: “The food (problem is not the most serious one that is facing the institutions. Stores of bedding, furniture and clothing for Inmates have not been replenished, as they should have been, for the last year or more. In one of the institutions it is known that all the blankets are on the verge of being delegated to the rag bag. New supplies can not be purchased because the "maintenance” revenue is so scant that it must be used for the bare necessities. Everything that can be

patched or repaired is being used. In this way the institutions are managing to "get by.” The superintendents see clearly that the day of reckoning moist come and that the institutions will have to be rehabilitated at a tremendous cost because of the present forced retrenchments. It is conceded that these wretched conditions might have been avoided If the Republicans under Goodrich and his organisation had followed the business-like policies of Governors Marshall and Ralston, who insisted on adequate appropriations for the Institutions. When the Democrats went out of office there was plenty of money in the state treasury. There is plenty of money now, but the desire of the Republicans to live up to their false representations of the campaign of 1916, led them Into making the mistakes which now will result in a special session of the legislature at a heavy and needless cost for the people.
