TRACTION PEOPLE
TO RECEIVE EO|CT
County Board Threatens Re-
voking Franchise If Ord
ers Not Obeyed.

More trouble for the Terre. Taute,
Indianapolis and Eastern Traction
company:
Monday the board of county COM
missioners determined to serve notice
on the officials of the road at Indiana
polls that the franchise which the
company operates under was being
violated and in danger Of being forfeit
ed by the terms of the agreement.
Once having taken the initiative
against the company. as the board al
ready has done in the matter of the
improvement of the National road
within Wayne township, the county
officials do not promise to let the
traction company officials slip any
thing by them merely by a little nice
talk, served hot with few smiles and
hearty laughs. The commissioners
say they are going to see that the
franchise is rigidiy enforced.
The specific instances in which the
traction company mas not ana appar-
emily never intends to live up to its
contract with the county, is in not paw
ing all private and public crossings;
not maintaining it's right of way on a
grade level with the other part of the
highway, and by being closer than
twelve feet, in some places to the CEN
ter line of the highway.
Exclusive of Richmond and the in
corporated towns in the county, over
which the board of commissioners
have no jurisdiction in this matter, it
is not believed there is a mile along
the company's line in this county
where the contract has not been VIC
lated.
Personal complaints by the commits
sioners to traction officials have not
availed anything. The more formal
and business like method of notifying
the company it must live up to the
franchise terms was decided on to-
day as the only method by which the
commissioners could compel the COM
pany to heed the boards orders.

The Tears In Books.

Il n not hard to understand why.
when q book makes you laugh. you
want to read II. and to read It over and
over again. But II In rather puzzling
TO and that one also enjoys reading
and rereading books that make ono
want 10 cry. What can there be In US
that likes to be made to feel unhappy ?
In real life We don't try to do things
that will make M suf1er-not at all!
But there are books that you cannot
think Of once you have read them
without tears coming to your eyes, and
yet you will md that you love those
books perhaps more than any others.
To feel deeply Is one Of the best
things In life. and there maybe lies
the explanation OF why We do love
sad stories. They make W unhappy
IN way. but they do not leave behind
any bitterness or sense Of personal
loss. And they usually have . special
beauty Of their own.-St. Nicholas.

Owing to Mr.. Murray's connection
with the National Theatrical Owners
association, which books with indie

TO ASK CHILDREN
BE PROVIDED FOR

On the ground that Lee and Myrtle
Springer are neglecting their three
children, Joseph and Cora and Marie,
all under sixteen, the county authori-
ties have taken the case in hand and
will. if possible place them under the
control of the board of chiidren's guar
dians. The specific charges filed
against the two girls is that they are
permitted by the parents to associate
with people of shady reputation, while
it is averred that the boy is not fed
nor clothed properly. The charges
are against the children, not against
the parents. 1t is doubtful if the au
thorities will take any action against
the parents. excepting to have the
children placed under the control OF
the board of guardians.
