AMUSEMENTS
MURRAY VAUDEVILLE Headlined with a 10-piece band com. posed of men capable in the vocal as well as the instrumental art, the Murray vaudeville this last half of the
week offers a somewhat varied program. Al Sweet's jazz boys are the personification of musical versatility, for their numbers range from the classical to the comical, touching the latter element in their imitation of the circus clown band. One finds the aggregation Very entertaining. Ever so often Richmond is visited by a "senator" whose own choice in the realm of human uplift seems to determine he must by power of the spoken word label public affairs at their semi-true, semi-ridiculous value. This, Senator Francis Murphy proceeds to do with a logic an continuity as (ir) regular as the spasmodic mirthful outbreaks of his hearers will permit. He is a patriot in the guise of a soap-box orator. Norrls's Springtime Follies accent the merit of dumb performers more pronouncedly than of the master of the stage. The act is unusual in atmosphere and scope and draws forth many exclamations of approval. A harmless little sketch unfolds M-ith the appearance of Bernard and Erma in "At the Bookshop." The ofer. ing lacks much of the polished product of vaudeville, but provides a few moments of easy diversion. "Homespun Folks" is the film attraction. , MARVIN. MURRETTE To much cannot be said in favor of Marshall Neilan's new production, "Minnie," which is being shown at the Murrette theatre. It 13 an Associated First National release. It is real screen entertainment, with an excellent, human story and thrills aplenty, but its big quality la in its humorous situations. Marshall Neilan has taken life In a small town country hotel and put the Incidents on
the screen in life-like fashion no
where does he exaggerate. Hence the spontaneous humor' the most enjoyable kind.
Lea trice Joy and Matt Moore are
featured. The story centers around
Ieatrice Joy as Minnie, the slavey,
drudge in her father's hotel. Minnie is homely, very homely, so much so that everybody tells her about her ugliness with a sneer. Minnie likes to dance, but she's clumsy. Minnie just loves to have a beau, but the beaux laugh and go elsewhere. That makes Minnie angry. She invents a beau. She writes love letters to herself and drops them where the

GLAY TOWNSHIP
(Continued from preceding page)
ents were Quakers end who did not stand during prayer. The teacher punished him and lectured him on the old proverb, '"When in Rome do as the Romans do." And this taught a great truth and lesson to the pupils. The iixt school was located in the old Methodist church,, which is the house in which Mr. John Phillips now lives. Rut his was not large enough pnd it. was not suited for a school, so that after about two terms a new one was built. Blackboards Introduced This new one was the house in which Mr. Earl Ridge now lives. This rchooihouse was larger and better than pny of the others and in this one blackboards were introduced. A number of people are still living who attended this school. There was also a school at Fairfield,
which is a short distance north of j Green's Fork, at that time. At that) time Fairfield was a small community! apart from Green's Fork, and a great, j
many children had to be sent to school, so a schoolhouse was built. This was a subscription school; that is, each parent had to pay so much per month for their childien. The teacher would pfay a while with each subscriber" and part of . the time they would have school in the summer. Sometimes the children , of Green's Fork were sent up there in the summertime. The schoolhdusp on the Ridge property had become rather old ind was too small, so a brick schoolhouse was built iu 1S77. First Brick Building This schoolhouse was built on the sito of our present schoolhouse and it was the first brick schoolhouse in Clay township. One thing of note about this is that the bricks were made right in the school yard. For transportation was so costly at that time that a brickyard was established and the bricks were made and burnt in the school yard This schoolhouse was the one that has hem ued up to our present schoolhouse. It was the largest one that Jiad been built up to that time, as it con
tained four rooms and the ones before! had never contained but one. I P 1 . - - K i n tr nc nn rt nni nrocant I
schoolhouse. Because of the crowded j conditions and also because of the building was getting old a new one was erected in 1907. It is our present building and it is also made of brick, but it is much larger than any other. Receives Commission Three years later, in 1910, Green's Fork high school was commissioned. The first superintendent was Mr. Studebaker, 'who taught In 1910 and 1911. Mr. Studebaker was followed by Mr. Bowton, a graduate of Indiana university, and at present superintendent of city schools at Clifton Forge, Va., who was superintendent in 1912i:mi. Mr. Wright, a graduate of Earlham, row professor at Iowa university, followed Mr. P.owton and was superintendent in 1915 and 1916.
Mr. Shaffer, graduate of Indiana Normal, now superintendent of DunKirk schools, was superintendent here next for two years, 1917 and 1918. In 1919-1920 Mr. George Bugbee and Mr. Gilmore were superintendents, the latter now professor of mathematics at Wesley's college, Virginia. Mr. Bugbee is now superintendent at Milroy. They were graduates of Indiana university. Mr. Palmer, now living at Warsaw, was superintendent in 1921. Clifton Williams, our present superintendent, has been her two years.

PALACE "The Loaded Door," though figuratively loaded with dynamite, is literally loaded with thrills, action and an unusually appealing love tale. It is shown at the Palace theatre as a Universal attraction starring Hoot Gibson. The story is of a self-appointed revenge officer who decides to clean up the traffic in whiskey and narcotics that is being carried on by a band of smugglers along the Mexican border. Hoot Gibson, who takes it upon himself to do the cleaning up, is at his best In "The Loaded Door", in which his expert horsemanship and handiness with his fists are amply displayed. Gertrude Olmstead, who plays the leading role against Gibson, is no less charming in her cowgirl garb than she ordinarily appears in an evening gown. Miss Olmstead, through her fine work in leading roles in past Universal productions, is fast approaching stardom, and even now is considered one of the most popular of the screen's "baby star" class.
Suporting Edward Gibson in other principal roles are Bill Ryno, Eddie
Sutherland. Joseph Harris, Noblo Johnson, Charles Newton, Victor Potel, Charles A. Smiley and C. L. Sherwood. WASHINGTON "East Side-West Side" the present offering of The Olmi-Goodwin Players is continuing to please audiences at the Washington theatre. This bubbling comedy, of life on Manhattan Island is being given a most finished and delightful presentation by this capable company of players. The usual performance will be given tonight at 8:15 p. m. a bargain'matinee tomorrow at 2:30 and the final presentation Saturday night. Starting with the matinee on Sunday "Fair and Warmer" a gale of laughter by Avery Hopwood will be presented. "Fair and Warmer" is an instantaneous hit with audiences for the very natural reason that it. is a homely idea that reaches home and because the situations and lines that the actors speak are natural and every day. To begin with the idea is eo ingen-
FIRST SCHOOL HACK III STATE USED IN CLAY MYRLL STACKHOUSE Not last nor least of the many things that Clay township has inaugurated is the fact that she was the first in the state to use school hacks for the purpose of transportation of school children.
It was in the year 1885 when Trus
tee William Hatfield of Green'a Fork, decided that it would be cheaper and
more satisfactory to hire a hack to bring the children of the Horney school to the town than to endeavor to carry on school at the country building. The Horney school was about one and one-half miles south of
Green's Fork. The first hack was very much of a wagon. It had high wheels, a very narrow bed, small seats and canvas stretched over the top. Two boys furnished the covering for the schooner. The front end was open for the driver as a matter of convenience and so he could help his team over the bad roads. In the back of the covering a piece of canvas was left hanging which served as the door and curtain.. The hack did not follow a very regular schedule nor was the conveniences of the hack of first class but it served the purpose and was the founder of our modern motor school hacks, heated and comfortable, which we find all over the state. The driver of this first hack was George Wise of Green's Fork.
Mrs. Hannah Bradbury, Aged Pioneer, Tells of the Early School Days in Clay
Indian Depredations Made Settlers of Clay Township Set Up Fort VERBENNA HOWARD Until just a few years ago the remains of an old block house could be seen standing about one mile and a half north of Washington. Examinations showed that, it had really at times served its purpose of protection and recent investigations have brought to light the fact that at one time the blockhouse had really saved the whole
settlement from being destroyed by the Indians. Although the Indians were, as a rule, peaceful, the five or six first settlers in the little settlement decided it best to build a fort for their protection. It was built on Able Jenney's farm in the center of a space of about four acres, which had been cleared so they could see in all directions lest the Indians surprise them. The house was about twenty foot square with logs and
overjettings about four feet all around the building. The house, had but one big door on wooden hinges, and of course there were no windows. In many places mud was plastered in betwen the huge logs to keep the cold air out. The settlers did not live in the blockhouses only when there was danger from the Indians and they were
nrenared at any time at a known en
nal to hurry to the little fort
Mrs. Hannah Bradbury, a school teacher 70 years ago, tells of early schools in township. "Going to school was a bit different 80 years ago, when I was a girl" said Mrs. Hannah Bra.dbury in a very interesting interview recently about the early schools in the township Mrs. Bradbury is the oldest citizen of Clay township and is past 9 4years of age. "We did not have hacks to carry us to and from school," she continued, "but had to follow a blazed trail through the. woods In order that we would not get lost in going and coming from school which was about two miles
away. t wnen I went tosctiool we didn't have desks. Our seats were made of long slabs with stout pegs for legs. When we wanted to write we had to go to the wall where boards had been fastened in a slanting position and these served as a writing
table. The teacher had a kind
box-like desk. Three. Months of School "The school usually lasted during the three winter months and we were like the ctiildren of today in looking eagerly forward to tbe beginn'og aad then to the ending of the erm. But we had good times at school. We played such games as black man, drop the handkerchief, hen and chickens and poison. Sometimes the teacher, who would come to the door and tap a little bell, would have trouble in getting us to cease playing and come in. "The teachers were very strict in those days I used to have 'rouble in keeping rom laughing at many of the pranks in tbe school room, but I never got into iroub'e with my teacher. One of my teachers Mrs. Jordaa, gave 'good behavior' tickets each week to all pupils who bad been good and obedient I have one dated 1S37. At the door usually hung a paddle. "On one side was the word 'out' and
thi3 word was displayed by turning the paddle In the correct way whenever any pupil was absent. When the pupil returned, the paddle was turned so that the word 'in was shown. In this way we could always tell whether or not any one was absent. Two pupils were never allowed to be absent at the same time. Then we had other kinds of paddles in those days. Some teachers were very generous in using them. "The early school houses were heated by big fireplaces. We were allowed to circle before it when the weather was cold. The windows were covered with greased paper. Many times at nights the families would gather in at the little school house and have spelling bees. "When I was about 25 years old, I
taught a subscription school. I was
n paid about $1 pe ..month for each pu
pu and my monthly pay amountea to $15. Each teacher was her own janitor and many boarded out a week at a time with tbe various :'ami!ies. We usually taught in school the primer, spelling, writing, multiplication tables, history to those who were advanced enough and the United States reader which contained many references to he scriptures. Most of the studying was done a'oud so that we knew the pupils were busy."
BIDDING IS CAUTIOUS AT PULLEN AUCTION LIBERTY, Ind:. Feb. 9 A bright, sunshiny day and a comfortable sales pavilion brought out a large, crowd to Bruce Pulien's Duroc sale in Liberty Thursday afternoon. Although the offering was a tribute to the modern breeding methods of Mr. Pullen the sale wa3 characterized by "slow and cautious bidding.' E. J. Denlinger, of Eaton, Ohio, who purchased seven sows and gilts was the heaviest buyer. Jake Stewart, of K:tchel. and Cleve Fields, of Liberty, weie a'so heavy buyers. There was brisk b'dding for the two young boars sired by Great Hoosier Sensation. One was sold to Frank Carson for $52 and the other to Harry Mehl for $47. Fall gil's.ianged in price from $19 to $32 and spring gilts sold from $33 to $60 each. Bred ?ovs sold between $39 and
$b0 each.
At all
ious that it was a comparatively simple matter to create three acts that fairly ooze with laughter. And not only laughter, but the kind that makes you hang onto your sides, lean aainst your neighbor and literally weep with uncontrollable joy. "

times the house was filled with a large supply of food and ammunition to withstand a siege if necessary.
On one occasion a large body of
unfriendly Indians were reported in the vicinity and the settlers remained in
the blockhouse several days and
nights. Although they fired at the
blockhouse a few times and killed some
horses, little serious damage was done.
Soon the community had grown so
large and the Indians had been driven away so that the blockhouse was no longer needed and was used for many
years as a barn by Able Jenney.
