BLAME HOUSEWIVES
FOR HORSES TRIALS

Muncie. Ind, Jan 17.-That Muncie
housewives whe defer ordering their
Sunday groceries until late on Satur-
day are guilty of cruelty to animals
and deserving of heavy fines was the
sentiment of the Delaware County HUI
name socitey, at it's annual meeting
here. The members of the society
brought before them for testimony a
number of boys who drive delivery
wagons. and who told of the long
hours their horses We're compelled to
put in on Saturdays.
The boys said that this was mostly
due to the fact that the women of the
city refused to order their groceries
at a reasonable hour of the day, some
of them putting their orders off until
1lo'clock Saturday night and expect
ing them to be delivered Sunday morn
ing. The report of the society hints at
prosecutions.

TO ENTER A BILL
Measure Will Provide Tree
Commissioners for Cities
of the State.

Within a few days it is expected
that Walter S. Commons, one of
Wayne county's representatives in the
state legislature, will introduce a bill
on behalf of the Richmond CONNER
cial club providing for the appoint
ment of shade tree commissioners"
by city councils. The proposed bill
has been in the hands of Attorney A.
NJ. Gardner. and is practically COM
pleted He will turn il over to Mr..
Commons within a short time.
The bill is a result of the agitation
in this city last summer over the
death and decrease of shade trees II
was pointed out by members o: the
Commercial club that the death of SO
many trees was in large measure at
tributable to negligence and lack of
discretion in planting.
The object of the bill appointing
shade tree commissioners is to pro-
vide inspection in the planting and
trimming and caring for the trees All
