The rise in pa per prices is reflected in the cost of paper school supplies, excepting text books. In some instances the supplies are sixty percent higher than they were last year. The Increased cost of paper is particularly noticed in the prices of sanitary towels. Election supplies for the county this year will cost much more. The com mlssioners will see that the supplies are ordered early so that they will be sure to arrive here In due time.

THIS MAN SO MEAN HE FEARS HIMSELF

William Smith, . itinerant umbrella mender, while illuminated with Logansport"; whiskey, informed Detective Remmert at the Richmond union station last evening that he was the "meanest man in Ohio." Before the resulting hostilities took place, in the presence of a large and interested audience, Smith confessed that he was, so mean he was afraid of himself. Police Chauffeur Wenger took a hand in the proceedings and the Ohio warrior was, at length deposited with great violence in the police machine. During the combat Remmert had his new derby hat destroyed. . After being unloaded at police headquarters Smith again gave battle. He cut a gash in Remmerfs head with a whiskey bottle and after being deposited in the jail almost wrecked its furnishings. He howled throughout the night. "This will soon be the rainy season at the state penal farm, and' no doubt there are a lot of umbrellas there which need repairing. Ten dollars and costs and fifty days at the farm for you," said Mayor Robbins when Smith entered a plea of guilty in city court today. - PRISONER UNKNOWN AT CAMBRIDGE GIT Y ANDERSON, Ind., Sept. 13. Herbert L. Cummins. 22. years old, who arrived here from Jackson, Mich., yesterday with Sheriff W. J. Black to face a charge of stealing an automobile owned by David Conger, a farmer, is said to have confessed passing fraud ulent checks in cities of Indiana, Ohio and Michigan since he took the automobile. He is said to have operated at Kennard, Shirley and Cambridge City, Ind.. Lebanon, Centerville and Sharonville, O., and Detroit. Mich Sheriff Black says the police in Jack son informed him that Cummins, while traveling under the name of John DePalma and representing himself as a brother of Ralph DePalma, the racer, passed a check for $900 in Detroit, which he used in showing a motion picture, actress a good .time. .Cum mins was paroled from the Indiana Reformatory last June and came to Anderson to live with his mother. He will be taken back to the reforma tory. CAMBRIDGE CITY, Ind., Sept 13. Herbert L. Cummins, under arrest at Anderson, reported to have passed fraudulent checks here, is not. known in Cambridge .Cityr - -. - , CHAMNESS COLLECTS DELINQUENT TAXES As a part of the campaign which is being conducted for the collection of delinquent taxes County Treasurer Chamness will soon send out a letter explaining the law which he must follow to all those who are behind in their taxes." Under the law Mr. Chamness must make every, effort to collect all delinquent taxes. If he does not, he is liable to prosecution by any taxpayer and the county has the right to hold up his salary. After people have been warned a certain number of times, the law provides that the deputies must levy on property. Close track has been kept on all promises which have been made, and next week the property of those who have not made good their promises win be levied upon. SCHUERMAN MAKES GOOD SHORT WEIGHT BUT PAYS $10 FINE R. J. Schuerman," a groceryman, was fined $10 and costs in city court today for selling, a short weight of potatoes to Mrs. Oscar Frame. He pleaded not guilty. Weights and Measures Ins.pector McKinley testified that the bu shel of potatoes Mrs. Frame secured weighed 53 pounds Instead of re quired 60 pounds.' Schuerman said he had given full weight and explained the loss'by pota toes falling from the basket while in delivery wagon. Mrs. Frame asked the mayor not to fine Schuerman. She said she believed there was no inten tlon on his part to defraud her and said he had made good the shortage A commission dealer has reported to Inspector McKinley that he has received a carload of peaches which only average. between 41 and 42 pounds per bushel instead of the required 48 pounds. An investigation is being made. EVEN BEER PRICES WILL START UPWARD AS RESULT OF WAR Long white collars topping the cool amber of beer will be out of vogue with prolific imbibers this fall and winter. The war is blamed, but the antipathy which is expected to foamy beers will not be with thoughts of bloodshed. " The idea will be "more beer." And the beer will be crowded into smaller glasses, according to dealers here. The war gets into the argument via the high-cost-of -barley-malt , route. Barley malt being one of the chief ingredients which makes beer palatable, the brewers are depending on an increase in beer prices to save them from loss. At the Minck JBrewing company today, officers said they have not increased prices here and will not unless the price of barley malt continues to increase beyond reasonable anticipation. MESSICK TAKES DEGREE Fall activities of Couer -de Lion lodge. Knights of Pythias, were commenced last night with impressive exemplifications of ; the ' first and second rank.

"The Social Service Bureau has prevailed upon shiftless and slatternly women to practice a more rigid economy, to clean up their homes and to make them a little more attractive. to their husbands and children, with the result that on the whole the tone of one particular neighborhood, at least, has noticeably improved during the past two years.

FISHING HINDERED . DY WARM WEATHER

Deputy State Game Warden Bravey of Anderson, is in Richmond on an inspection trip. Bravey says the past summer has been one of the worst fishing seasons in the state in many year, owing to the extremely warm weather. "It was even too blame hot for the fish," said the deputy warden. "As a result the fish left the surface water and went, to bottom waters to keep as cool as possible. That is the reason why so many of your fishermen had such bad luck on their trips to the lakes in the northern part of the state." Bravey says the hot weather 6hou!d at least be given credit for conserving the game fish. FIRST NATIONAL WILL REMAIN OPEN President A. D. Gayle of the First National. bank said today that he did not approve of the reported movement on the part of some local bankers to discontinue the practice of- keeping the banks open Saturday evenings.

"For a time only part of our clerical force was used Saturday nights," Mr. Gayle said. "Now we use our entire force and detail an extra teller to both the commercial and savings departments."
