cheerful; he had not spoken Of any
trouble In which he was involved or that
threatened him.

it. But Miss Stewart resented equally

Why is Indianapolis ground so
much more valuable than Marion
ground? Simply because Indianapolis
has a population of 219,154, while
Marion, according to the last census
is credited with only 14001. All
that is necessary to make Marion
land worth as much as indianapolis
ground is to secure the inhabitants.
All that is necessary to secure the
population is to secure the factories
and the very best way to make the
fresh start is to Sc me the big au-
tomobile works. If you have taken
no hand in this work which has
been so persistently pushed by many
of the public spirited men of the
city, now is the time to pull off your
coat and get to work in earnest.
