SW|NDL[RS STILL WORK
NEW GAME is UNCOVERED
National Banks Throughout the State
Notified of Presence of Sharks Who
Have Game to Fleece the Farmers
Out of Good Money.

According to information that has
reached many Indiana banks during
the past few days, there has been
travelling through the country sales
men for some foreign house selling
cloth to the farmers and taking their
notes in payment for the sale price of
the goods. 1t is said that the sales
men, in a number, if net all, of the
cases, represented that they were the
agents of a large house that was soon
to open up stores in many cities and
that the buyers of the cloth could
come to the city and have the suit
made free of charge at their store.
On Saturday a farmer living near Ko-
komo, who had bought a piece of the
cloth, giving his note for $50 in pay
ment, was in that city trying to locate
the firm $ store in order that he might
leave Cloth and have it made up.
He failed to find the store, and com
planned bitterly to one of the Kokomo
clothing merchants. The farmer
went to all the banks in Kokomo and
warned them not to buy his note if it
was offered for sale, and when he left
he was in the humor to start some
thing if he found that it could be
done.

A CAR SHORTAGE
IS THREATENED
Richmond Shippers, However,
Apparently Without Com
plant Just Now.
BAD SEASON is COMING
BELIEVED THAT BEFORE WIN
TER SETS IN ALL ROADS IN
COUNTY WILL BE CRIPPLED
BECAUSE OF SHORTAGE.

Though Richmond manufacturers
are not complaining at this time that
shipping facilities are bad, the ret
ports from various railroad centers
indicate that nearly every railroad
in the country is facing one of the
greatest car famines ever experience
ed.
Officials report that their roads al
ready are seriously pinched, though
the tonnage now is only about 60 per
cent of what it will be in December
That feature of the present situation
and the one that makes it most alarm
ing is that the shortage is general
with all roads, thereby eliminating
the possibility of one road loaning
cars to carry another out of its diff
cuities.
Cause Of Shortage
The car shortage is not due to an
increase in any particular line of
traffic, railroad officials declare. but
to a steady growth in all lines Gen
eral merchandise traffic is a great
deal heavier than it was at this sea-
son last year. and one of the biggest
SAoPo III thO iioCoiy vi tHO CouHliN
is soon to be started on its movement
to market.
With no prospect of a decrease in
the merchandise traffic and with the
heavy movement of grain ready to be-
gin, traffic men are in despair
I'm my opinion we will have the
worst car famine we have ever
known said one of the traffic men,,
discussing the situation. I'VE are
short of cars right now and yet the
tonnage is only little more than half
OF what it will be in two or three
months hence. We cannot borrow
fars, because all roads need every
one they have. We cannot buy them
because the builders are overworked.
The only hope now for a few weeks
lies in our ability to handle the traf-
fic the moment it appears, and in this
way keep the lines free from conges-
ton"
Railroad men say that improper ter
minals are another source of great
danger almost as great as that of
car shortage. The terminals of the
large cities of the country, the say,
are not adequate to handle the bust |
ness of the roads expeditiously.

THE GAS PRESSURE
ON UP GRADE NOW
Expert Declares the Supply
Will Last for Many More
Years.
NEW THEORY ADVANCED
GAS SUPPLY NOT CONFINED
TO POCKETS AS WAS ORIGIN
ALLY BELIEvED-H. c, ZIEG-
LER's OPINION.
NEW THEORY ADVANCED

If the theory Of H. c. Ziegler, OF
Mun&e, is correct, Richmond con
sumers of Natural Gas need have nc
fear that the already comparatively
limited supply will be further reduc-
ed for some years to come.
Mr.. Ziegler, who is a gas expert,
in a statement issued the past week
said:
''It may be of special Interest to
know that during the coming winter
our natural gas supply will be 80 per
cent greater than it was last winter,
when it was more abundant than it
had been for several seasons pre-
vious for reasons then explained and
still we'll remembered"
Mr.. Ziegler has for years been en-
gagged in gas and oil in PENNSYLVANIA
before coming west to Indiana and
having since that time been the most
prominent resident figure in oil and
gas circles in Indiana. He was the
pioneer investor in leases and lands
in Delaware county and vicinity after
the discovery of natural gas, believ-
ing that with the decrease of the gas
supply. oil would be found in paying
quantities. This had been the ex
perience in Pennsylvania and be felt
the same results would obtain in In
diana. And he was right.
y A year ago last summer Mr.. Zieg-
Ter, having faith in the theory that
the gas supply would gradually in
crease to certain extent and be
abundant for years for domestic pur-
poses, proceeded with preparations
to increase his local service. In ex-
planning his earlier theories and pres
ent plans, he said: TT was thought
when gas was discovered in Indiana

COL. BROWN is TO REST
Bird and Bee Man Who Often Visits
Richmond, Has Been Over
worked In the Last Year.

Col. Isaac W. Brown. the "bird and
known in Richmond, will not r,-enter
the lecture field this winter. This
he announces is due to poor health.
For some months it is said he has
been ailing as a result of constant
and prolonged travelling and lee
turing. He has appeared in all parts
of the country in the interests of the
birds and bees, winning friends who
long to hear him again. Brown says,
however, that his forced retirement
from activity will not be greatly pro-
longed and that he expects to re-en-
ter the active field next spring.

PAWPAWS ARE BOUNTIFUL
Claimed That Big Crop Indicates That
the 'Possums Will be Also be
Plentiful.

Pawpaws are ripening in hundreds
of patches throughout the county.
The golden fruit of the woodlands is
abundant this year, and is just be-
ginning to drop. 1t will not be at its
best. however, until frost arrives. A
good many people already have made
excursions to their favorite patches,
and all have come back with baskets
well filled
The old timers argue that the
abundance of pawpaws betoken that
'possums will be plentiful and fat.
The pawpaw is greatly loved by the
'possum. The little marsupial wakes
lusty on the sweets. of the apple Of
the forests. and his meat takes on an
especially delicious flavor from it.

Dear Sir: Why, do you think, can
Devoe sell pure paint as low as others
sell adulterated paint?
There are 30 or 40 or 80 different
makers of paint, that rank, in way,
as "frst-class;' they have their re-
gions; ones region is large, another's
is small: everyone is "tirst-class" in
it's region.
OF these 80 or 40 or 80, one is best,
another next, and so on down; but
the prices are all the same or about
the same-you can buy one for less
than another though; personal mat
ter sometimes.
But how, do you think, can Devoe
sell the best for no more than the rest;
The answer is: it costs less to sell it
more to make, less to sell. Repu
tation helps sell it. Its $50 years helE
sell it.
Go by the name. Yours truly
