vile, Ind, to the Indianapolis Star
SAID of the matter this week:
Noblesville, Ind, March 13-R. H
Metcalf, who was president of the
Farmers & Merchants National Bank
at Cicero, Ind, when it was closed by
the auditor of state in January, was
arrested tonight by Sheriff Woodell,
charged with embezzlement. His bond
was fixed at $1,000 but up to late
hour tonight his efforts to provide
the custody of Sheriff Woodell.
The specific charge against Met
calf is that on Dec. -, 1914, he re-
ceived deposit of $429 from d. E.
Buzan, when he knew the bank was
insolvent. Prosecutor Guy issued the
warrant upton the complaint of Bu-
IAN. The states attorney asserts he
has warrants for the arrest of other
persons in connection with the recent
bank failures in Hamilton county, but
refused to make them public tonight.
The Hamilton Trusc Company of
this city also was closed by the state
auditor.
Metcalf came to this city three
years ago from Mckinney, KY, and
purchased the controlling interest
in the Cicero bank.
The Equitable Surety Company
and the Western Indemnity Company
were made defendants today in five
suits in the Circuit Court growing
out of the recent bank failures in
Hamilton county. The defendants
were sureties for the Hamilton Trust
Company of this csty and the Far
mers and Merchants Bank of Cicero
for the deposit of public money when
they were closed by the auditor of
state. The suits are to recover the
full amount of the deposits. The
county had SS,1S466 with the HAM
ilton Trust Company and S4,771.94
with the Cicero bank. Jackson Town
ship had $4,000 in the Cicero bank
and the Cicero school board had ST.
200 in the same bank. The Noblesville
school board asks for the return from
the Hamilton Trust Company of ST.
800. 1t is understood that the bond
ing companies intend to pay the vari-
Gus sums without further litigation
and then share in the pro rata dis
tribution of the assets when the re-
ceiver settles up the affairs of the
banks.

To The Housewife

Madam, if your husband is like
most men he expects you to look af.
ter the health of yourself and chill
dren. Coughs and colds are the most
common of the minor ailments and
are most likely to lead to serious dis
eases. A child is much more likely to
contract diptheria or scarlet fever
when it has a cold. If you will inquire
into the merits of the various rem
edies that are recommended for
coughs and colds, you viii find that
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy stands
high in the estimation of people who
use it. 1t is prompt and effectual,
pleasant and safe to take, which are
qualities especially to be desired
when medicine is intended for chill
dren. For sale by all dealers.

SOMETHING IS ALL WRONG!

SOMETHING is ALL WRONG!
In the December issue of the Wom-
ans Home Companion two writer's
show the curious contrast of viewpoint
on marriage held by modern young
men and women. Several young men
were asked why they avoided matri-
mony, and one, whose engagement had
been broken, made the following COM
ment on the up-to-date girl:
ri want just common, garden va
riety of wife, like my father married
there can't be two business careers
under one roof. I'm willing to work
like two, if she'll drop hers. And, let
me tell you, when I'm the head of a
big automobile concern, I'll issue
ukase-no girl employed in any ofanch
of the plant. That's what think Of
matrimony for the business girl.
Business warps her view on the home,
the husband and babies. She thinks
she wants all three of them, and she
does; but her salary, her financial in
dependence, the habit Of earning have
a stronger hold on her. My stars,
what a bunch of tight-wads and ty-
rants our male ancestors must have
been.w
In striking contrast to this view IS
that of the young herione of "The Ris-
ing Tide"
"Shall make the soap, or knit
Mortimore's stockings? Or do you
want me to wait on the table, ard put

WANTS TO Be PURE
FOOD INSPECTOR
TIP. White, Of Paris is Applicant
fer Place Vacated By
Brown.

DR.. 7, P. White, a prominent
Partisan, and for more than
forty years connected with one
of the leading drug stores in
Paris is a candidate for the po-
sition of state pure food and
drugs Inspector, the position
made vacant by the resignation
of DIR. Lucius P. Brown. Mr..
White has already presented the
major portion of his endorse
ments to Gov. Rye for his con-
sideration. His endorsements
are of the strongest and have
among them those from many of
the leading pharmacists of the
state and nation. He also has
strong endorsements from the
doctors, pharmacists and profess
sional men as we'll as the laity
of the city.
DR.. White is eminently fitted
for the position owing to his un-
sually splendid training in youth
under DR.. I. G. Mcneil, and has
had years of practical work as
the head of the firm of 7. P.
White & Co. If efficiency,
coupled with strong endorse
ments, will land the place, as it
doubtless will, DR.. Whites name
will receive serious consideration
when the appointment is made.

to the fact that Mr.. and Mrs.

where they formerly lived, great
interest is manifested in their
contention for their children.
Later reports are that Mrs.
Davis arrived safe in Murray
with her three children.
