BG ENTERPRISE FOR THIS CITY

LIGONIER TO HAVE BIG LUMBER AND COAL YARDS AND EBU#LD- "~ ING MATERIAL -

COMPTON AND HOLDERMAN

Well Know Ligonier Contractor Heads Firm to Locate in Old Wool : House .

Ligonier is to have a néw company which will handle all kinds of building material and coal. Manager and. chief director in U new concern is -Ed Compton, the con tractor. Associated with him is the tirm of Holderman, of Elkhart. The Holderman company has been in Elkhart for many years and is one of the largest operators in its line in Northern - Indiana. ,

The new company has taken a lease of the Straus Bros. Co. for what Is known as the wool house. They take the ground floor and all the. vacani ground adjoining for their building material and lumber yard. The Wilkinson Quilt company will continue ‘o occupy the upper floors of the building. The new coal yards will be located in easy access to the raliway siding which runs at the north side ot the building. ; ' Mr. Compton says when the big stock it is proposed to carry arrives there will be no excuse for people in this vicinity to go to other towns for their building material as he expects to carry everything demanded in this line and will sell at a figure which will insure home patronage. The consumation of this arrangement has long been a dream of Ed Compton who in his extensive-contract ing career, has felt keenly the need of just such a big institution as it is proposd to locate in Ligonier. It is hoped by early spring to have a é Smplete stock of lumber and WI building will be installed wood Working machinery to dress lumber and manufacture on a large scale such materials as are specially needed In house building. , ' Ligonier is to be congratulated on securing this big enterprise. It will certainly fill a long-felt want.

Geyer Trial is On.

The case of George Geyer well known in Ligonier former Benton township Elkhart county farmer, vs. the Salem Bank at Goshen trustee, brought for the purpose of settingaside trust deeds is now on trial in the Laporte circuit court, where it was sent on change of venue from St. Joseph county, the complaint having originally been filed in South Bend. . :

Through this litigation Geyer, who for many years has been involved in law suits seeks to wipe out deeds to valuable realty he gave the- Salem bank as trustee for his children by his first wife. . ;

Through various matrimonial adventures, Geyer's wealth has been greatly reduced. The Geyer farm in Benton township is one of the best in that section. :

After leaving the farm Geyer took up his residence in South Bend where he is now residing with his third wife. His second wife was procured through a matrimonial agency and the union resulted in endless trouble and expense. . - _

There are four Geyer children-— three davghters and one son. They have endeavored to keep the realty from being lost. - j

eNw Electric Rates.

The new schedule of rates for Lixo-] nier asked by ite Indiana & Michigan Electric company follows: | Residence lighting rates 10 cents net for the first 50 kilowatt hours; 8 cents for the next 160; 6 cents for the next 200; 6 cents for the next 200; and 4% cents for all additional current. : N

This means that the rate to the majority of private consumers would he increased 25 per cent as few use over 50 killowatt hours a month. The present rate is 8 cents per killowatt, | Then, in addition to this 26 percent increase to private consumers the same patrons would be taxed to pay the increase in the rate of city illumipation, the city rate asked for being the same as to private consumers up to 50 killowatt hours. o Health Found Good. : Dr. V. G. Hursey, health inspector for the schools after making a careful survey, finds conditions good. Owing to prevalence of smallpox, diphtheria and scarlet fever in many surrounding cities and towns, a close watch is being kept in this city to guard against all such diseases. ! - In a few instances children with inflamed throats weré sent home after -examination but no diseases have de-

, After the Jobs. e There is already activity among republican aspirasits for the postmasterships in the different towns. While President Wilson placed the postmasters undér the civil service regulations the same as the deputy postmasters and all other postal employees it is hoped and believed by the hungry aspirants that when Senator Harding becames president he will revoke this order insofar as it applies to postmesters who are practically all democrats and separate them from their joba before their official commissions expire. A good many of the P. . M's have {rom one 0 two years to serve and this seems a long time for republican aspirants to wait for the jobs Under a late ruling’ deputy: postmasters are eligible to promotion to first place along civil service lines. This “practically insurecs the promotion of deputly postmaster W. 8. Milner for postmaster of Ligonier. Mr. Milner- has served faithfully for 17 yvears and iz no doubt the best qualified for the pilace if he will accept i, ~ Meeting at Schoeol House. Community spirit is strong in Ligonier and Supt.

Norman F. Engel, writing froig Sunbury, Pa., to the Albion Democrat SRYS: : :

“In looking over some old manuseripts recently .which I surely had not seen for many years, I discovered a Commission that had been issued to my father, William F.

“The €mmission issued to my father was for Postmaster of “Noble C. H.,,” in the County of Noble, State of Indiana. It was dated February 7th, 1846, although the appointment was made on the 6th day of October, 1845. Cave Johnson, who was Postmaster General of the United States during that year, signed the commission.”

Unwieldly Majorities. It is predictéed that the large re-. publican majorities im both houses of the Indiana ‘legisiatare . will prove unwieldly and thatefactions in the predominant political forees will result. Then, too, there is the struggie bejween the Goodrich and the MeCray factions for control. Gov. Goodrich will attempt to dominate the legislature in an effort to prevent the repeal of his pet measures” and Mr McCray has already declared war on & number of them. It is well understood that when McCray becomes governor he will use his intluence in amending the Goodrich tax law in an effort to eliminate some of the objectionable features. In this the new governor will have the ald of Senator Watson who i an énemy of Goodrihn and Goodrichism. The appointment of Phillp Zoercher as the democratic member of the state tax commission by Gov. Goodrich for a four-year termn does not set well withr Mr. McCray who has declared for Zoercher's removat as well as the elimination of Fre. Sims. McCray, if he finds no authoriy to remove these members, will try to bave authority created by th. leg.s iature so there is bound to be more o: less friction. .

Don’t Lose Interest.

Speaking of “good impressions,” didn’t the work the Red Cross did in France make a pretty good impression on you? You were interested in coluserving the health of our soldiers, boosting their morale, feeding and housing the starvingh refugees. You gave it your support. : -

~ Well, don’t withdraw your support just because the waf is over. Because !tho Red Cross werk isn’t over. The only difference is that it is peace‘time work instead of war-time work ‘lt 18 doing for civilians what it did for soldlers, conserving their health, stamping out preventable diseases, teaching the lesson of hygiene and sanitation it learned during the war.

Therefore, when the Red Cross Roll Call comes around here this year, between the }Bth and 25th of November don’t fail to join, just as you did when the guns were still roaring in France. Strip a dollar off your roll and sign on the dotted line for a healthier and happier America. :
