ARCHITECT BUMP
TO RECEIVE FIGURES

Otto Knoerzer is going ahead with
his plans to build a fine business block
on Holman street at the corner OF
Muenich court. He has instructed his
architect. E. w. Bump, to receive the
figures on the building and these will
be ready in a week.
The fact that there has been nothing
doing since the excavation of the lot
led many to believe that the plan to
build was to be abandoned. This is
not true, however
Mrs Mary Huehn expects to build on
the fifty feet next to the Knoerzer
property. and it is reported that she
has already leased the property.

The Domestic Science club of Green
field had a particularly enjoyable and
helpful meeting recently. when Mrs.
Samuel NJ Ralston gave talk en-
titled Practical Ideas OF Domestic
Science" This was at the home OF
Mrs. ]. NJ Larimore and there were
several out-of-town guests besides
those from Greenfield. Mrs. Ralston
emphasized the importance of the vo,
cational training measure recently en-
acted by our Legislature, calling at
tention TO the fact that 10 per cent OF
the women of Indiana do their Own
work, thus demonstrating the import,
ance of thorough knowledge OF
household science. She urged her
hearers to look more closely into food
values and also pointed out the
necessity of knowing how TO render
first aid TO the sick Musical numbers
were given by Miss Alma Justice anC
! Miss Laura Reed and Miss Dora
Arnold gave an entertaining mono
logue. A basket of spring flowers was
resented TO Mrs. Ralston and tbs
favors were yellow jonquils.

Perhaps all our club women do not
understand exactly about this endow-

1910 ii was decided instead of incress-

the interest OF this sum is TO be used
and this will enable the organization
to accomplish many things that are
now quite impossible for lack of funds
AT the last board meeting il was de
cided to name this endowment the

of that really great woman. who did
so much for the federation and fol-
