Preserving Turkey Run. Turkey Run, in Parke county, is one of the

.cenic glories of Indiana. It is a part of then

,usk estate and is to be sold on order of the 'arke circuit court on May 18, to close the estate. .1 Turkey Run passes into the hands of timber speculators, the magnificent trees of the park ill be cut down and one of the few remaining ; eces of primitive forest in Indiana will pass : way. To save this magnificent piece of scenic land, t!ie Indiana Historical commission is urging that be bought by the state and conserved as a state ark. A statement, signed by Governor Ralston, ,ormer Vice-president Charles W. Fairbanks, ',nd Richard Lieber is being sent throughout the fcate asking for co-operation in the preservation (;f this valuable piece of land. The movement is a worthy one. The state ould do nothing that would be a better centennial memorial than the purchase of this strip of md, with rocky gorges, waterfalls, trees and ;rand pieces of scenery.

Jouth Bend and the Playground Movement. In September 1914, a municipal recreation committee was appointed by Mayor Keller of oouth Bend, for the purpose of studying an all-year-around recreation system. This committee has submitted its first report to the citizens of South Bend. Not only did this committee study the problem in a highly systematic manner, but it also proposed and carried out a movement that has put South Bend in the lead of all cities of Indiana for activities of this character. Richmond has not been slow in the public playground movement, but the leaders of the work here might study with profit the summary of the South Bend work. The whole city of South Bend entered into active co-operation with the committee, realizing that recreation is essentially necessary if the human system is to be kept up to standard and is to work efficiently. The resume of the South Bend report show the-appended data: During this short period, 4 playgrounds and 1 play field was provided and supervised ; another 20-acre play field secured for future development. During the summer and fall of 1915 there was an attendance of about 120,000 at these play places.

A Civic Federation consisting of 13 social centers,

representing every part of the city, was organiz

ed. The Committee has assisted and supervised

these constituent organizations which, during

this period, held 119 meetings with a total attend

ance of over 20,000. An Amateur Athletic Fed

eration, to promote Amateur Athletics in accordance with approved standards, was formed. The Federation enrolled 38 teams with" more than 500 players and conducted 2 track and field meets. Public School and Inter Playground Leagues were formed, comprising 1,000 players and playing over 200 matched games.; School and Home Garden departments were organized. Two Municipal Christmas Tree Festivals were carried out. Community Singing was inaugurated. Cources in Civics for the Social Centers arranged. Class in Parliamentary Law formed for the officers of the Social Centers. Training work was organized for playground directors, for leaders in singing, and for Boys' and Girls' Clubs; and a variety of other activties.

$131,014,000 in Horse Flesh The United States shipped 678,443 horses and mules, worth $131,014,000, to Europe for the allied armies in the last year and a half, according to export figures assembled today in the bureau of foreign and domestic commerce. The average price paid by the allies for the animals was $200 apiece. Despite the diminished supply, the price of farm animals has dropped because the best horses left the country, leaving a lowered general standard for the local market. The number of farm animals in the United States on January 1 was 25,000,000, the number in cities

is estimated at 3,500,000.

Orders His Son to Death

Many pathetic stories have been reported from the European battlefields. It seldom falls to the lot of a father to order his son to death, but the commander of one of the regiments at Verdun last week was compelled to order his son to make an attack that meant death. The pathetic incident begins with the following conversation: . "Hello! Is that the farm? Who is speaking?" "This is the post commander talking." "Leave your sergeant in charge of the redoubt. Take eight men and cut off a German patrol which has just entered the wood. Report to me on your return." An hour later the picket returned to the redoubt, carrying a lieutenant mortally wounded. The post commander sprang to the telephone : "Hello ! We succeeded, but Lieutenant is d jung. Can you send a doctor ?" An exclamation of grief came over the wire. Then an impassive voice said: "Never mind the doctor. Run immediately to the dugouts. The Germans are about to attack.'-' A pause and the same voice resumed in broken tones: . "Hello! Are you still there? Kiss Lieutenant for me. He is my son. Goodby."

As an interested observer in the bridge controversy I wish to express my opinion on the engineer question. Under the present system, in letting a bridge contract the county commissioners select the engineer before the plans and specifications are drawn up, ignoring the county engineer. This is unjust to the county engineer and also the people, because he is elected by the people. " My opinion is that the county en

gineer, as he is elected by the people, and supposed to be competent, should be the adviser of the county commissioners on bridge questions the same as the county attorney advises them on legal questions. When special bridge work is to be done it should be done in the regular business way in order to bring about competition. I would suggest that , all engineers, from any city or state, be invited to

submit plans and specifications. Then i

the . county commissioners with the county engineer could -select the best set of plans. To eliminate extra appropriations the successful engineer should be put under a bond guaranteeing that the plans would work out. After the plans and specifications are selected contractors could then submit

bids. They, of course, should also he bonded to carry out the plans and specifications. - In that way the county would have to make but one appropriation, thereby avoiding "extras," of which little is heard, but which sometimes amount to the original contract. H. H. JOHANNING.

Pushing the Quick Sellers. Retailers favor newspaper advertised brands because they are quick sellers. The advertising creates a quicK. definite and sure demand. They feel it at their counters and they naturally show the goods people want to see. They put them in the window and on the counter at the time the advertising is rurning. Quick s-'lers tre profitable because they keep capital at work. They make the stock turn over rapidly and in the turn over is .1 larger gross business and a satisfactory balance sheet.

The Long - Sought - For 'Balanced Tires We have actually produced the long-sought-for 'balanced' tires. The instant success of our popular priced 'Usco' Tread is a striking example of the automobile owners' immediate recognition of our 'balanced' tires. There are three big, exclusive reasons why the 'balanced' tire is the 100 per cent, efficient tire.

Because the rubber tread is 'balanced' that is, the tread has just the exact 'balance between resiliency . , T . f . l -11

and toughness, wmcn procBices mo greatest possioie efficiency in the whole tread. 2 Because the fabric carcass is 'balanced' that is, the carcass has complete 'balance between flexibility which gives easy riding and strength which gives endurance. 3 Because the whole tire is 'balanced that is, the rubber tread and fabric carcass are in auch complete 'balance' as to give equal wear both tread and car case are equally strong. It Is this three-fold 'balance that sets the five United States Individualized Tires in a class apart. Since our 'balanced tires began to be "felt on the market" last fall, the sales of United States Tires have increased steadily month by month up to the recent highest increase of 354 per cent.
