BUSINESS MEN SHOULD ACT.
Of Cllristianit,

The Independent believes that
the business men should get to-
gether at once and counsel relative
to the Novelty building. Efforts
should be made to secure an option
on it for thirty days at least. Per-
haps in that time committee could
find some one willing to occupy the
building and operate factory. We
believe that the building without
the engines and boiler can be pur.
chased for a nominal sum. The
citizens can certainly purchase it
and take chances of finding an &C.
cupant. The present owner has
stated that he could sell it so cheap
that it would have to go. 1t would
be better to purchase the building,
engines, boiler and electric plant j,
but if this is not possible the build :
ing at least should not be permitted
to be wrecked.
The attention of the business
mems association is called TO this
matter in the hope that some defn.
lite action will be taken. If the Cit
liens would secure the plant and
power and turn it over TO Revell's
furniture company for nominal
price, doubtless they could be in
duced to come here. They are
looking for location. 1t devolves
upon the business men of Plymouth
to manifest some enterprise now if
they are interested in the welfare of
the city. Send a committee to see
the Revell people or others who
may be interested. Our citizens
will raise the entire $4,000 for the
plant and power if such a concern
as Revell's can be secured, else we
wonderfully mistake their DISPOSE

Left Their Names.

Indianapolis News: Alva D. Reser
member of the Legislature from Tippe-
csnoe county, has been studying the
names of the different counties of In
diana, and finds that many of them are
called after heroes who fell in the bat
tie of Tippecanoe. There in 1911, was
decided the greatest battle ever fought
on Indiana soil.
"Thirty-fv of the soldiers who fell
in that engagement" said Mr.. Reser,
"sre buried in that field, and the names
are perpetusted by the counties of In-
diana. White county is named after
Col. Isaac White, who lost his life in
the battle. Wells county is called after
Capt. Wells. John Upton took a
prominent part in the battle, and in
1896 became United States senator
from Indiana. In 1886 he donated SIX
teen acres, on which the battle took
place, to the state. Upton county is

for Benjamin f. Psrke, q soldier under
Harrison, who became the first United
States Judge of Indiana. The county
of Bartholomew is named after Col.
Bartholomew, who commanded the in
fsntry at the battle Daviess county is
called after John Dsviess, splendid
soldier and brilliant orator, who made
great record in the battle. Warrick
county is named for John Wsrrick, one
of the first men to fall in the battle.
Dubois, for Captain Dubois, the com.
msnder of company of scouts. Floyd,

Among the Union generals who
took part in the war of the rebellion
and " ere in service as early as May,
1861, and still survive, are Generals
Miles, Sickles, Lew Wallace, o. o.
Howard and ii. Wilson. Sick
les and Howard are on the retired
list. On the confederate side are
Generals Fitzhugh Lee, J. b. Cor
don, Joe Wheeler, S. b. Buckner
and James Longstreet. Forty
years ago these were all compare
lively young men and unknown to
fame, but the fortunes of war and
the lapse of time have brought
them all into prominence in the his
tory of the country.

Its Aim Is Good.

The Congress of Mothers in Its initial
conception is certainly an organization
entitled to profound consideration.
The constitution says: "The object of
this congress shall be to promote con-
ferences among parents upon questions
most vital to the welfare of their chill
dren; to further develop the manifold
interests of the home; to cooperate
with educators and Legislators to secure
the best method of physical, mental
and moral training of the young; to en-.
tighten motherhood upon all the prob
leIns of race development; to uplift and
improve the condition of mothers in all
walks of life, and to these ends to pro.
mote the formation of mothers and
home-makers' clubs in ell states and
territories of the United States" If
the organization is living up to its con.
stitution IL certainly will accomplish
great results for good.-Muncie Herald.

OscuIatory Rights.

la addition to the canteen and the
creed revision, the burning question
sgitating the theologues of the Presby-
terrain general assembly is: alas a

an outsider, the judgment of the UNI

that he hasn't just because he is 9

CHRISTIAN CHURCH.

Rev. w. F. Folks found it convenient
to spend the Lords day with the
church here. He will preach here
again June 2.
His subject in the morning was 1.-THE
Mission of the Church in the World"
In the evening "The Demands Made by
the World upon the Church The
church is to preach and teach the Cos
pei of Jesus Christ. The gospel in the
early day was instructive. The gospel
Is laden with the truths of God, the
attributes of our Father. There is
nothing else in the world that will take
the place of the pure. simple gospel of
Jesus Christ. Sin is anything which
destroys the germ life of the soul, unfit
ing it for the kingdom which God
wishes to prepare it for. 1t is the duty
of the church then to SO live, teach and
preach the gospel that practical appli-
cation may be made of it in the daily
lives of men.

An old trick was worked on com
mercial traveller on Fort Wayne train
last week. Perry j. Wood, a stranger
induced the travelling salesman to ex.
change three SO bills for bunch OF
81 bills, but instead he gave in ex-
change an envelope filled with tissue
paper. The trick was discovered be-
fore the train reached the corporation
line and Wood was arrested and COM
mitted in default of $500. 1t is alleged
that Wood worked the trick at several

1t was reported today that Attorney
Samuel Parker had purchased the Nov
city works building. The deed was
made to him, but as trustee for the pur-
chasers. He does not hold the property
in his own right. Mr.. Snyder says that
the owners will leave the boiler and
some of the power and endesvor to sell
the property to some one who may wish
to operate it. They think that they
can realize more by so disposlng of it
than by wrecking it.

Special Session Called and May Aboli'
Insurance

Special Session Called and May Abolish
Insurance.
Notice was received at the head
quarters of the Grand lodge, lndianap-
oils Knights of Pythiss, last week, that
there will be a special session of the
supreme lodge of the order held IN Chi
cago July 8. A special session of the
supreme lodge is unusual and the notl-
fication that such meeting is to be
held is a surprise to the officers of the
Indiana grand lodge and to the repre-
sentstives of the supreme lodge.
A special session is called for the
purpose of carefully considering the
condition of the insurance department
of the order. This department has been
a subj ct of discussion within the order
for a good while, and it is understood
that it was deemed wise to convene the
supreme lodge in special session for the
purpose of determining once and for
all the status of the insurance depart
ment. Some of the influential mem
bers of the order have been in favor of
sbolisning the department. Indiana
il is understood, has held to the view
that the department is good thing
and ought to be kept up.

upon which no opinion is expressed.
Upon the question of railway mail pay
