It is stated on good authority that
two automobile garages will be opened here this spring. The two automobiles which will be represented by local agents are the Quick and the Reo. The men who will put in the garages and have charge of the business are not yet ready to an-

The electric signal gang is working at the Big Four station this week putting In the long distance signals. These are so arranged that the wires may he transferred to the new switch tower as soon as it is completed. The funeral of Mrs. William Goodwin, of Limedale, whose death occurred Tuesday morning was caused by cancer, was held at nine o’clock Thursday morning at St. Paul’s Catholic Church. The services were conducted by Father McLaughlin. Bailey Hawkins, formerly Deputy Auditor of Putnam County, and his wife passed through Greencastle Sunday on their way from Indianapolis to Sullivan. Mr. Hawkins is now farming. He is on a farm just north of Indianapolis. Mr. and Mrs. Hawkins were on their way from Indianapolis to Sullivan Sunday. Sullivan was the home of Hawkins before he came to Greencastle and he was going there for a visit. There was a very large increased attendance to see the “Wages of Sin’’ in Pantomimic Drama at the Opera House Moving Picture Show last night. The entertainment was fine and gave the best of satisfaction. “The Wages of Sin’’ will be repeated tonight. The leading picture tonight is “Pioneers Crossing the Plains in 1819.’’ As might be expected from the title, you will see Indians chasing the pioneers and capturing them, and committing their atrocious crimes, as would only be committed by Indians. It is very exciting. Your blood will Tie made to boil. The new song tonight is “I Turn from the World to You.” Once White River had a dally flow of one billion gallons of water. Now this has shrunk to a pitiful flow of 770,000,000 gallons. Our forests, which acted as a great sponge to hold back the supply of moisture have been destroyed and the flow of the river has been greatly lessened. The surface water in this vicinity, from which former supplies of water were derived, has dropped to forty feet below the surface. Once in a prehistoric day, Indiana was a wild waste of water. Then a little strip of land about three miles in width appeared between Indianapolis and Cincinnati. After that more land began to appear and the water to dis-
appear.

Lent begins this year on February 24, one week from Wednesday, leaving a little over one week in which the public may enjoy and indulge Itself before the time for restriction and religious thought. Easter falls on Sunday, April 11, forty days after Ash Wednesday, between which time the Lenten season is broken by but one day and that is St* Patrick’s Day, March 17. Mrs. Anna Pike, aged 81, who has been living at the home of her daughter, Airs. William Hasket, on Sycamore, died Friday morning, death being due to infirmities of old age. The funeral was held Sunday morning and the burial was at the Clear Creek Cemetery. The deceased leaves two sons, Charles Pike, of Vincennes and William Pike, of Coatesville, and one daughter, Mrs. William Haskett, all of whom were present at the services Mrs. J. L. Hamilton is just recovering from injuries received in an accident which occurred last Monday. Mr. and Mrs. Hamilton were driving out to the Big Four station in order to go to Indianapolis and were on the {hill next to the quarry when the horse shied and started over the inI cline. The occupants of the buggy I jumped to save themselves and it was in so doing that Airs. Hamilton received injuries which have confined her to her home all this week. She is now able to sit up for a while
each day.
Agnes Avery, a colored woman, arrested In Bedford, on information of the Greencastle officers, was brought here Thursday by Juvenile Officer Dal by, who went to Bedford after her. The woman left here about two months ago leaving her child, then about 8 months old, behind. The child was turned over to the Juvenile officer and was sent to the orphans home in Indianapolis. Tho woman was taken before Mayor Hays Friday morning and on her promise that she would go to Indianapolis, get the child and care for it in the future, she was allowed to go without punishment. Contrary to a practice of long standing Gov. Aiarshall has ordered that hereafter any notary public asking for a renewal of his commission, must file a new recommendation from the judge of the circuit court of his county. For a number of years it has been the custom to flic one letter of recommendation at the time when tho first commission was asked and this was permitted to fulfill the obligation for as many denewals as were granted. This action of the Governor is based on the fact that a man’s reputation may change within a few years, and that a Judge favoring him at one time, may have reasons for not doing so later.
ART IN FRANCE AND AMERICA
In France the government gives its support to art in Its academy of painting, sculpture, etc. The word civic beauty has some meaning where it is not only talked about but put into effect, where even advertisements for the theaters are placed on artistic kiosques. The museums of painting and sculpture are absolutely free to the public, not only one or two days of the week, but every day in the week and the very best is always within reach of the very poorest. Is there any marveling then why the French are leaders in art in the nineteenth century? Why they are the acknowledged authorities on designs of even gowns and hats? It is merely the result of the education of the masses along artistic lines for centuries, made possible by the government's assistance. What are the similar conditions of art in America? What are we doing to educate our boys and girls for an appreciation of the beautiful? Is it an affair of the government? No. Is it of any concern to the citizen? In some awakened centers, yes, but not in every community can wo claim a similar state of affairs. The larger cities have art institutes open occasionally to the public and maintained by the efforts of enthusiastic work-
ers.
But what shall be done for our less fortunate smaller communities as for example our very own community—Greencastle? If we cannot have a permanent museum of art for our citizens can we supply that need in any possible manner? To a certain degree we can by bringing to the city for a shorter time an exhibit such as exists permanently in the best art galleries. For such an undertaking the co-operation of our citizens is necessary. And that aid can be given by our people becoming associate members of the Art Club, which is trying to show it not only a pleasure, but a duty to help in our public education so that the Americans will not be inferior to other nations. Until our government deems it necessary to support art in this country let us as individual citizens do our part.

Tomlinson Measure Which Would Kill the County Unit Law Goes Through the Lower Branch of the legislature by Vote of .VJ to 41.
KLECKNER BILL FAILED TO PASS
The House Thursday passed the. Tomlinson bill to repeal the county . unit local option bill enacted at the j special session by a vote of 52 to 4 4. | The Kneckner Bill failed of pass- ^ age for a lack of constitutional ma- 1 jorlty, the vote being 49 to 46. At the last minute Representative Garrard, Democratic floor leader, withdrew his vote of “aye” and sub-i stituted a vote “no” therefor. Thi8| gives him the right to move that the vote on the bill be re-considereJ, which action will be taken today. The Kleckner bill is the platform bill and lost the support of the Republican voters, all except Representative Ratcliff of Wayne County. The vote upon the two bills followed several hours of speech making. The galleries were packed and the floor and aisles of the House were filled with guests and friends of the members.
