Edwin Yost, OF Plymouth
As ! have not had an opportunity
to chat with you, l thought | woula
give you few words of advice, as |
sit at my desk thinking OF the past
and future; my thoughts have gradu-
ally wandered where they often do,
TO the schoolroom where | suppose
you children are busNy engaged in
your various studies | must say that
| really visa could have attended
school, or that l could attend now as
you do.
You young people do not realize
what you would miss by not being
able to attend, until you have been
handicapped, as | have always been
even if you have had a good teacher
as | had-she was my mother. II
helps one along in more ways than
any one OF you would have any idea
OF, where one can associate with his
schoolmates. 1t helps one to think
and form higher ideas such as one
does not have where he is alone in his
studies.
Therefore | earnestly advise all OF
you young people to make tae most
possible use OF your educational ad-
vantages, while you are young; while
the brain the most sensitive organ
in the human body is tender and cas-
lily trained.
Why is 1t that some OF you child
rem who go to school, not apparently
to learn, but seemingly to hinder
others in their studies?
Those of you WHO do not make
good use OF the chances afforded by
our public schools will, in most cases
see your mistake in after years, when
you try for some occupation other
than ordinary everyday work; such
as stenographer, book-keeper, clerk,
or any other business that requires
knowledge to make a success in life

FACTORY WISHES LOCATION.
Plymouth is Favorable Location for
Manufacturing Firm Paying $15,-
600 Wages Monthly.

Agent James E. Hanes of this city,
is in receipt of the following COM
munication from William Borner,
Division Freight Agent, at Chicago,
relative to locating large iron manu-
featuring company in this city or vi
cinity:
Pennsylvania Company,
Chicago, ILL.,, Feb. Is, 1909
Agent Plymouth, Ind,
Dear Sir:
Viii you please have someone
communicate with Henry w. Klare,
Cr Roberts & Shaeffer Co., 1875 Old
Colony Bldg, Chicago, Ill, who de-
sires to establish a structural iron
and bridge manufacturing company
along the line OF our road, within
reasonable distance of Chicago.
The proposed plant would require
about ten acres of ground which
should be practically level and we'll
drained. The plant would probably
handle about 10000 tons of work the
first year with an increase of perhaps
so per cent the second, and would
have pay roll the first year of about
Sl5,00O0O per month.
We hope you may be able to land
this industry at one OF your stations,
any one of which is favorahly located
an therefore we are of the opinion
that the question of consideration on
part of the town is all that is neces-
sary.
Yours truly,
Wm ROruer

BILL HAS BEARING
ON THIS CITY
INTRODUCED BY REPRESEN-
TATIVE ADAM E. WISE OF
PLYMOUTH.
Provides That Assessment on Street
Improvements Shall Not Exceed
Actual Benefits.
Yours truly,

G. w. & D. F. A.

RepresentatN Adam E. Wise oi
Plymouth, has introduced bill in the
House OF Representatives, which has
a direct bearing on the proposed
pavement improvement on north
Michigan street, OF this city. The bill
provides that no property shall be as
sessed for street improvements in ex-
cess of the actual benefits derived
from the improvements, and provid-
ing for an appeal. The bill was prob
ably introduced to fit the condition in
Plymouth where property owners
have demonstrated, on exactly the
same provision as provided in the
bill.
A remonstrance, signed by the fol-
lowing, was presented to the city
council at the last meeting of that
body, on Monday Feb sth: John

The council had passed a prepara-
tory resolution to pave north Michi-
gan street, from the north end OF the
pavement north, to the first street
north of North street. At the subse-
quent meeting a remonstrance signed
by the above was presented to the
council. One of the grounds for the
remonstrance was that the property
would not be benefited TO the
amount of the assessment
Remonstrance Not Sufficient.
The remonstrance was referred to
the city attorney, TO measure up the
frontage OF the property, in front of
which the proposed pavement was to
be laid, and determine whether suf-
hcient number had demonstrated The
city attorney has completed the work,
and says that the required 60 per
cent had not been obtained TO the
remonstrance. There was less than
60 per cent of the total frontage, and
over 60 per cent of the total num-
Der of property owners. 1t is re-
quired that 60 per cent OF both the to-
tai frontage and of the total number
OF property owners must sign the re-
monstrance. and so the improvement
will probably be finally ordered at
the next meeting of the council,
which will be held on Monday even
ing, Feb 22nd

CRUDE in THE
DOUBTFUL LIST
HAS NOT DETERMINED HIS
STAND ON. OPTION REPEAL
BILL.
Recent Election in Marshall County
Will Not Necessarily Influence
His View.

The statement made at Indianap-
oils Friday that Senator Harry E.
CRUDE (dem.), OF Plymouth, had by
no means made up his mind on the
question of repeating tle county op-
tion law lent encouragement to the
anti-repealers. 1t has been known
for some time that the anti-saloon
men who are opposing the repeal of
the option law have not looked upon
Senator CRUDE as being lost entirely
to their cause Friday the report be-
came current that his attitude was
doubtful and he was asked about it,
He refused to discuss the matter ex-
cept to say that re never crossed a
bridge until he came to it, and that
he would make up his mind later
when the Tomlinson bill for the re-
peal OF the option law came up for
action.
Counting Senator CRUDE there are
nOW SIX democrats VINO nave elmer
decided to vote against the repeal of
the county unit law or else have not
made up their minds on the question
Tilden and lMcCarty will vote against
the repeal of the law under all cir
cumstances. a CRUDE, Mcdowell,
Yarling and Long are still consider
ing the question. Powerful influences
from some OF the best friends he has
are being brought to bear on Senator
Bingham OF Mishawaka, to get him
TO vote against repeal. 1t is said,
however that taere is little doubt that
he will vote with the majority OF he
Democrats.
