FRIENDS SEE CHANCE TO ASSIST CHURCH

The American Friend comments thus on the conference of Men Friends: "It is only about two months until the National Conference of Men Friends will convene in Richmond, the dates being October 20-22. It is none too early for the laying of plans to attend this epoch making gathering. Indeed many are already planning to be in attendance, and registrations have already begun. "The movement among men in the religious world is one of the significant features of the present era and marks an advance in Christian activity. Never was there greater occasion for Christian manhood to assert itself World problems and community problems are pressing for settlement and demand a larger attention on the part of strong, virile men. It is a remark that one hears from others almost every day that this is the day of opportunity for the Society of Friends. This Conference will assume to look at some of the live tasks that are before us through men's eyes, and will bring new Inspiration and a larger vision to all who come within reach of its influence. No congregation of Friends can afford to be without adequate representation in this great gathering." WEATHER DELAYS SCHOOL REPAIRS The inclement weather has retarded the work on the township schools, and it is probable that the No. 5 school, north of the city, will not be complete by September 6, the opening day. Good weather the rest of the month, however, may make it possible to complete the repairs. Repairs on other buildings in the township are progressing rapidly, according to Township Trustee Edgerton.

DEMURRER UPHELD

The demurrer filed by Prosecutor Reller. as attorney for Chief of Police Goodwin, in the case brought in circuit court by Eva Sullivan, charging false Imprisonment, was sustained by Judge Comstock this morning. The plaintiff will be required to bring a ne complaint before the case is 1-rnught to trial.

SUTTON TRADES FARM FOR DUBLIN STORE CAMBRIDGE, Ind., Aug. 23. The William H. Doney Agency has just affected a trade, ' In which Frank Sutton has exchanged' his farm southwest of this place, consisting of seventy acres, for the residence, business block and stock of merchandise of Edward Morgan In Dublin. In the transaction the farm was valued . at $110 per acre, the residence and business block at $4,500; and the stock of merchandise, at $2,000.

CUTS APPROPRIATION FOR POOR CHILDREN

Expressions from members of the county, council Saturday afternoon indicate that when the budget for next year is presented on Sept. 7, the amount appropriated for tbe care and custody of dependent children will be greatly decreased. It will be demanded from the county commissioners that a detailed statement be made regarding the poor of the county. This action was forecasted by the action of the council Saturday afternoon when discussing appropriating money for running expenses until Dec. 31. County Auditor Bowman, as spokesman for the county commissioners, was profuse in the explanations as to the ' appropriation " under consideration. It cost the county over $7,000 for the care of dependent and neglected children last year and if the report of the investigating committee is acted on, this can' be decreased next year to at least $4,000 and perhaps less. Within another year it can be decreased even greater, according to the report.

TRANSFERS $5,000 FROM SOUTH SIDE FUNDS FOR BRIDGE

v On motion of R, A. Davenport, which was acted on unanimously by the county council, a transfer of

f $5,000 will be made from, the South

Side bridge sinking fund to be applied to the general county fund. The

emergency existing as the result of the repair of the old. Main street

bridge and. the building of a -tempor

ary structure, necessitated more money in the general fund so that bonds will not have to be issued for the

work. ' '-; " "'

The money will be paid back to the fund by June 30, 1918, according

to the order of the council. It is en

tirely improbable that the new bridge at the South End will be built before that time, so borrowing from this

fund " will not work hardship in se

curing enough money for the work. At

the ' present time there is about $85,'

000 in the fund, including the amount that is to be returned to the fund as borrowed money. If the bridge were started next year. It would be possible to raise the money by the time it would be completed by only a small

levy.

INSTRUCTORS CATCH STUDENTS' "BLUFF"

Frank G. Pickell, principal of the high school, delivering a speech before the Teachers' Institute at Chautauqua this morning on "The Supervision or Study," swerved from his subject long enough to pay a tribute to the teachers, who, he said, seldom deserved the blame heaped upon them for every mistake and failure of tbe pupil. The problem of meeting and stopping the constant "bluff" of the pupils needed solving, the speaker said, in recommending ways of teaching the pupils just how to study. He advocated limiting home study, and declared the recitation room should be more a study room and less a "reciting" room. "The school teacher of the twentieth century is practically a detective,' said Mr. Pickell, "and the greatest concern they have is the problem of directing the course of study to enable the pupil to derive the greatest benefits."

BRIDGE COMMISSION TO STUDY PROBLEM

A commission composed of five engineers, was appointed by the county comissioners Saturday afternoon, to make a final inspection of the Main street bridge. They will make a report as soon as possible, perhaps by

the end of this week.

The engineers will be asked to re

port on three different things. Whether or not the bridge can be repaired if so, whether it has to be dismantled;

the probable cost of a new . structure

if It is found that it cannot be re

paired ; the kind of structure best suit

ed t to the conditions.

COUNCIL Continued From Page One

pay one-third -of the cost of the bridge," said Superintendent Jeffries before the council Saturday. "The traction company is as anxious to get relief as the taxpayers of this county are. We would not be required by law to pay anything but we are willing to do this much in helping the county in this emergency." County Rushes Plans. The work of preparing the legal papers, making publication, etc., will be rushed. The suggestion made by County Auditor Bowman to have the traction company build the bridge and then enter into a contract with the county for the payment of the county's share, was not given the legal sanction of County Attorney Hoelscher. He said that this would be illegal under the state bridge laws. It will be at least thirty days before work can be started on the bridge, even if every effort is made to rush the work. It requires twenty-one days before bids can be received after the plans have been prepared by the bridge engineer. The county commissioners assured the council that in event it is found that the Main street bridge can be repaired in a short time, the money appropriated for the temporary structure will not be used. The commission of expert engineers which is to investigate the condition of the bridge some time this week will report to the commissioners and the action that will be taken will probably be based on their report.
