A Boom for Plymouth.

Never in the history of our beautiful
town have our prospects been so prom
Using. AS the leaves and blossoms IN
fold this spring new assurances for the
future of Plymouth also unfold. We
now have three large manufacturing
plants in successful operation; namely,
Clizbe, the Novelty and the Basket
factory. Substantial preparations are
being made for School Furniture
factory, and still another concern will
in ell probability occupy the Wagon
works building before the elapse of
many months,
Already the coming boom is showing
itself. Every store room in town
is occupied and many Easements have
been fitted for business hsbitation. A
new building block is going up on
Michigan street and others we under
stand will soon follow. Why should
not Plymouth double or triple her pop
ulation within few years? She is the
best commercially situated of all
Northern Indiana cities. Not mention
ing her convenient proximity to Chica-
60, she communicates with the Penn
syivanis railroad, one of the greatest
trade channels in the United States.
Besides this two other great longitu-
dional roads, the b. & y. and Nickle
Plate, almost touch her corporation
limits. The Vandalia and l.. E. & w.
give full outlet for her traffic north and
south. AS yet land is not so high nor
inducements so scarce but that any
good commercial concern, manufactur-
ing or otherwise, can find it paying to
locate here. Let us publish our sdvan-
tsges far and wide now that Plymouth
has begun to boom.

in New y DIRK will hear reports from
the great bible societies of the world
in regard to the distribution of the
scriptures on mission ground. The
three largest are the British, the
American and the Scotch, but there
are more than seventy other socie-
ties engaged in the work, but the
three named are by far the larger
The British and Foreign Bible soci-
ETY., organized in 1904, has circula-
ted I6o,ooo,ooo copies of the bible,
or some portion thereof, and the
American Bible society, organized
in 1916, has issued about 81, 900, 900
copies. The total issues of all bible
societies during the century is not
less than 2So,ooo,ooo copies, in adj
dition to what has been done by
other agencies which would doubt
less reach a total of at least one-half
billion copies.

New Forestry Law.

Many questions are asked concerning
the new forestry exemption law and
some of its leading points. This act
offers inducements for the starting and
maintenance of private woodlands as
forest reservations, such lands being
appraised for taxation at only 81 per
acre. To secure benefit from the ex-
emption the forestry must consist of
not less than 10 trees to each acre. A
description of the land must be filed
with the county auditor for record, and
an examination must be made by him
before appraisal.

THREE LEGGED COLT.

Physical Freak In Bourbon Township
Attracting Widespread Notice.
A three-legged colt is one of the Curl
osities of Bourbon township. 1t was
born one day last week on the farm of
Daniel Miller, northeast of the town of
Bourbon. 1t lacks the front leg on the
right side. 1t is absolutely strawberries
at that point, its body being perfectly
smooth and we'll rounded, but its leg is
very evidently turned under. 1t is in a
very healthy condition and is able to
hobble about. The balsn cling necessary
to give stability gives the lone front
leg the appearance of being placed d.
rectly in the center of the fore part of
the body but on second glance this is
seen not to be the case. 1t has already
been inspected by hundreds of Bourbon
township citizens who are unanimous
in their EXPLANATIONS of surprise. The
owner will not sci! it as be proposes
holding it to dispose of to some circus.
Marshall County independent. (Plymouth, Marshall County, Ind.) 1897-1902, 1900-05-04

should have absolute control of their
care. Employment of prisoners on
public works has the least tendency
to competition with free labor. The
adoption of uniform Legislation, the
report says, is the only remedy for
existing abuses. The Introduction of
interstate commerce in all goods,
etc., the product of convict labor,
supplemented by state legislation,
would be the nearest to a complete
remedy for evils of convict labor
competition but in the absence of
such laws the most practical step
would be an act making such goods
on their arrival in any state subject
to Its laws.

GOV. PINGREE NOW A DEMOCRAT.

GOV. PINGREE NOW A DEMOCRAT.
Governor Pingree, governor of
Michigan, and elected by the repub-
licans of that state, asserted in an
interview Saturday that the hope of
the people in this years general
elections is in the democratic party
The governor has always hitherto
been an independent republican
Speaking of the increasing power
of trusts, Governor Pingree said
"There is no use in hoping thar
the republican party will do any
thing with them. l believe that the
hope of the people is in the demo
cratic party this fall"
When such men as Governor Pin
gree goes back upon the party of
trusts and class legislation, it is EVIL
dent that the time is close at hand
when the producing people will
take a turn at the administration of
national affairs.
