BAD SEASON IS COMING

BELIEVED THAT BEFORE WIN TER SETS IN ALL ROADS IN COUNTY WILL BE CRIPPLED BECAUSE OF SHORTAGE, Though Richmond manufacturers are not complaining at this time that shipping facilties are "bad, the re ports from various railroad centers indicate that nearly every railroad in the country is facing one of the greatest car famines ever experienc ed.. Officials report that their roads al ready are seriously pinched, though the tonnage now is only about 60 per cent of what it will be in December That feature of the present situation and the one that makes it most alarm ing is that the shortage Is general with all roads, thereby eliminating the possibility of one road loaning cars to carry another out of its diffi culties. Cause of Shortage. The car shortage Is not due to an increase In any particular line of traffic, railroad officials declare, but to a steady growth in all lines. Gen eral merchandise traffic is a great deal heavier than it was at this season last year, and one of the biggest crops in the history of the country i a cnnn f n ha cfararl sin ifcs rrt m I - iLHJ 'CHICHI to market. With no prospect of a decrease In me jnci iimuuise iramc ana wun me heavy movement of grain ready to be,gln, traffic men are in despair. in my opinion we will have the worst car famine we have ever known," said one of the traffic men, uiscussing me situation. "We are short of cars right now and yet the tonnage is only a little more than half of what it will be in two or three months hence. We cannot borrow tars, because a'l roads need every one they have. We cannot buy them because the builders are overworked The only hope now for a few weeks lies in our ability to handle the traf. fic the moment it appears, and in this way keep the lines free from conges tion." Railroad men say that Improper terminals are another source of great danger .almost as great as that of I car shortage me terminals or tne large cities of the country, the say, are not adequate to handle the business of the roads expeditiously. A GREAT REUNION YEAR ALL RECORDS ARE BROKEN Never Before in History of This Section of Indiana Have Family Gatherings Been as Numerous Puring the .Summer and Fall. Never in the history of this part of the state have there been such great gatherings of kinfolks and friends in family reunions and social as well as church gatherings. It is a commendable feature of the prog ress of the American people j and there is none more American ( than in this section of the Hoosier state In the ceaseless whirl of business and everyday life, cousins and aunts and uncles grow more and more dis tant toward each other if there were not this manner of renewing old-time love and recalling the happenings of years ago. Old neighbors who once lived across the woods before father came to the city to serve a term as county auditor or treasurer are aTrnost forgotton. They were cousins too before people left the farm and played In their orchard lots of times, but some grew up in town and others still remained in the country. Now if one can't see them at the reunions he- doesn't often get to see the man at all. This gathering together of old friends and acquaintances tends to cement together the friendship of years ago and to recall the reminiscence of pleasant happenings and to remind people that there is some thing more precious In life than the mad rush after possession and position. PAWPAWS ARE BOUNTIFUL Claimed That Big Crop Indicates That the 'Possums Will be Also be Plentiful. Pawpaws are ripening In hundreds of patches throughout the county. The golden fruit of the woodlands is abundant this year, and is just beginning to drop. It will not be at its best, however, until frost arrives. A good many people already have made excursions to their favorite patches, and all have come back with baskets well filled. The old timers argue that the abundance of pawpaws betoken that possums will be plentiful and fat. The pawpaw is greatly loved by the possum. The little marsupial waxes lusty on the sweets, of the apple of the forests, and his meat takes on an especially delicious flavor from it. The Palladium gives a dollar each week for the best piece of news nip pd off to It.

According to information that has

reached many .Indiana banks during the past few days, there has been traveling through the country sales men for some foreign house selling cloth to the farmers and taking their notes in payment for the sale price of the goods. It is said that the salesmen, in a number, if net all, of the cases, represented that they were the agents of a large house that was soon to open up stores in many cities and that the buyers of the cloth could come . to the city and have the suit made free of charge at their store. On Saturday a farmer living near Kokomo, who had bought a piece of the cloth, giving his note for $30 in pay ment, was in that city trying to locate the firm's .store in. order that he might leavthe-2joth and hayeit made up. He failed to find the "store, and complained bitterly to one of the Kokomo clothing merchants. The farmer went to all the banks in Kokomo and warned them not to buy his note if it was offered for sale, and when he left he was in the humor to start something if he found that it could be done. THE GAS PRESSURE Oil UP GRADE HOW Expert Declares the Supply Will Last for Many More Years. NEW THEORY ADVANCED GAS SUPPLY NOT CONFINED TO POCKETS AS WAS ORIGINALLY BELIEVED H. C, ZIEGLER'S OPINION. If the theory of H. C. Ziegler, of Munoie, is correct, Richmond con sumers of Natural Gas- need have no fear that the already comparatively limitoii snnniv win fnrtw rfl,io. ed for some years to come. Mr. Ziegler, who s a gas expert, in a statement issued the past week said: "It may Ije of special Vterest to know that during the coming winter our natural gas supply will be 30 per cent greater than it was last winter, when It was more abundant than it had been for several seasons pre vious for reasons then explained and still well remembered." Mr. Ziegler has for years been engaged in gas and oil in Pennsylvania rr . . , ! j before coming wesc 10 maiand tim ViQtHnf nnrA that time been the most prominent resident figure In oil and gas circles in Indiana. He was the pioneer invester in leases and lands in Delaware county and vicinity after the discovery of natural gas, believing that with the decrease of the gas supply, oil would be found In paying quantities. This had been the ex perience in Pennsylvania and be felt the same results would obtain in Indiana. And he was right. ",;Axyear ago last summer, Mr. Ziegler, having faith in the theory that the gas supply would gradually Increase to a certain extent and be abundant for years for domestic purposes, proceeded with preparations to increase his local service. In explaining his earlier theories and present plans, he said: "It was thought when gas was discovered In Indiana Lyda Powell, ss Lady Audiey, in "A

work.

Both OUR CARE. J that gas existed In pockets or reservoirs and that if these were once pumped out, the supply would be practically exhausted. But the theory was radically wrong. Natural gas is forming all the time from oil. Our pressure is 50 per cent stronger than it was at this time last year and our guages will show this quickly. Of course gas will never - generate fast enough so that twlll accumulate fast enough to permit its use exclu sively again as fuel for factories, but since the factories have practically abandoned this fuel, gas has been gradually Increasing in pressure. In other words, it now generates in this field rapidly enough to insure an ample supply for domestic use." COL. BROWN IS TO REST Bird and Bee Man Who Often Visits Richmond, Has Been Overworked In the Last Year. Col. Isaac TV. Brown,, the "bird and bee man," who often visits and is well known in Richmond, will not reenter the lecture field this winter. This he announces is due to poor health. For some months it is said he has been ailing as a result of constant and prolonged traveling and lec turing. He has appeared in all parts of the country In the interests of the birds and bees, winning friends who long to hear him again. Brown says, however, that his forced retirement from activity will not be greatly pro longed and that he expects to re-en ter the active field next spring. Mad Love," at the Gennett Tuesday

Wil liams company's comedy success "The Arrival of Kitty," which is to be seen at the Gennett Monday night has contracted what is known as the postal card fad, and in the dramatic profession she has been called "the postal card girl."

This season Mr. Reeves has surpassed all previous efforts and has surrounded himself with the most elaborate and costly production that he has ever owned in his managerial life time. This is the fourteenth annual tour of the Reeves "Beauty Show." "A Mad Love" Gennett. It is likely that no story of recent years was read with as much interest as was Miss M. E. Braddon's celebrated novel, "Lady Audley's Secret." So true and sincere was this picture of life that it went at once to the hearts of the people. It will therefore be a pleasure, born of aroused anticipation of good things, that local theatre goers will receive the announcement that "A Mad Love" adapted from "Lady Audley's Secret" wills be -the attraction at the Gennett Jnext Tuesday evening. "Thorns and Orange Blossoms. "Thorns and Orange Blossoms" has been dramatized by Lem. B. Parker, I andtis among the attractions exploited by Rowland & Clifford. The dramatization of this popular novel is new, and surely was a happy inspiration of the playwright's, as its presentation by a good company has won the hear ty approval of the audiences every where. "Thorns and Orange Blossoms" is booked for the Gennett next Wednesday night. "A Stranger in Town" Gennett "A Stranger in Town," which comes to the Gennett next Friday night, is under the personal direction of Harry B.
