FARMERS TAKE OVER ELEVATOR AT GREENSFORK Co-Operative Institution Established and Board of Directors Chosen. GREENSFORK, Ind., Nov. 17. G. M. Sowers, Milo Gentry, Charles Knote, W. K. Cheesman, and Wilmot McLaughlin, have been chosen as the board of directors of the elevator taken over by the farmers of this section. The active management will rest with E. S. Martindale, the builder, with Miles Bradley as assistant.

The, new elevator will be run on the co-operative plan. The management

reports good business in wheat ana oats. The farmers will also run a coal I business in connection. G. W. Harris, banker,, said Friday that about 75 percent will be the probable yield in corn in this section. The bulk of this grain, however, will not go more than 50 percent in quality. It will be some time before the farmers can crib. The no-account corn is being fed to hogs. The sale at the Marion T. Meyers farm realized $5,000. Hogs of the Big Poland China type, all of whom were email, went from $12 to $26. There were 48 stock cattle offered. Steers had an average price of $74. Cows scld from $42 to $98 per head. Sheep went in ten lotes, at $24.50. Hay sold for $20, and baled straw went 41 cents. The prices were exceptional. The Seniors and Junior of the high school have formed canvassing teams to collect for the Children of America Relief association. The purpose is to collect money for destitute, bereaved

and homeless children in European countries of the entente. The record that had been established at the Clessie Haskett farm for corn in the field, namely, $87.50 per acre, was beaten Friday when corn in the field on the Beauchout farm was offered $90 per acre. It should be added, however, that this corn in both instances was superior and went from 60 to 75 bushels to the acre. Sowers and Walker brought specimens of yellow dent corn from their farm to town Friday. Some of the ears went 24, and meaesured 13 1-2 in length. They came from a field of 60 acres, and this corn is expected to yield from 60 to 75 bushels to the acre. Two carloads of coal received Friday relieved the acute fuel situation. Farmers have been cutting wood themselves as help could not be obtained to cut cord wood.

MECHANICS NEEDED

WASHINGTON. Nov. 17. Several

thousand men with experience as me

chanics, machinists, blacksmiths and

storage battery experts are needed for the Motor Section of the ordnance department of the army. Applicants will be graded as first class sergeants or ordnance sergeants after a special course in the handling of motor driven vehicles, tanks and field artillery at one of the ordnance training camps.

The fall theatrical season will be given a definite impetus today with the opening of the rehabitated Murray theatre under the personal direction of W. H. Hickey. The outstanding features at this writing would seem to be the magnificent special stage setting for the proper presentation of high class photo-dramatic entertainment, directorship of Clarence Runge and the special engagement of Miss Marie James, the sensationally successful lyric soprano, who comes here direct from Chicago triumphs.

In keeping with the high quality of the new policy to be maintained at

the Murray Manager Hickey searched the country for a prima donna to sing during the pictures and through close friendship between Mr. Hickey and Stanley Warner, under whose management Miss James is, he was able

to secure her release from an operatic engagement in Chicago. Everyone who has visited the Strand or Rlalto theatres, in New York, or the Circle, Indianapolis, knows that music is an indispensable part of motion picture entertainment. Music serves as interpreter of emotion and mood the substitute for the well-chosen word or phrase that illumines literatuite. It helps the audience to think with the picture to fol

low not only 3 succession of Interesting actions, but to sense the underlaying motives md mental processes. The audience thus gets all there is in the picture.. As a rule very few "movie fans" realize that "playing pictures" is a new art and bears a very important relation to the scenes thrown on the screen. Nearly every other phase of the motion picture proposition has been studied by Manager Hickey with miscropic care but as a rule the music question is the subtile something which differentiates the new method of presenting the "silent art" from the old nickelrdeon

way. For its opening work the Murray offers to the public, attractions certain to draw attention. As the special feature for today and tomorrow the man

agement has succeeded in securing the delightful star. Marguerite Clark, in her latest film effort, "Bab's burglar." Miss Clark, who has the happy faculty of appearing to the best of advantage in any role in which she is cast. has. in the stellar characterization of "Bab's Burglar, an opportunity to display the many delightful little touches of artistic deliveration which has brought her before the notice of the public with such favor. Variety of investitive and novelty in action characterizes "Bab's Burglar"

as the most delightful of the sub-deb, stories adapted ir-vn Mary Roberts Rinehart's stories in the Saturday Evening Post. Staged in an unexcelled manner, the play offers love, romance, youth and freshness in exotic abandon. Other pictorial features on

the program will be Brays Pictograph often called the "Magazine on the Screen," will supply in pictures what monthly periodicals have for years

accomplished in literature.

A Burton Holmes travelogue showing "Manners and Customs in China"
