meeting said contract and an ordi-
nance approving the same shall be
finally considered by said board
All persons who desire to oppose
any of the terms Of said contract or
to recommend any changes or altera-
ttons therein to said board are notified
to appear at said time and place and
present such objections or suggest
ions.
The contract as tentatively entered

to-wit:
An ordinance granting the right to
the Greensboro Electric company and
their successors and assigns to con-
struct, maintain and operate an cleo
trio plant in and upon the streets,
ways and public grounds of the town
Of Greensboro, Wayne county, Indiana
upon the terms and conditions speci-
fled.

The Hyphen

The Indianapolis Star has commented on the
hyphen question a number of times, always en-
phasizing the fact that hyphens are negligible
quantities Recently it showed that the hyphen
in German-American was not put there by the
Germans but by the Americans. In an editorial
on James j. Hill it says:
Within a week millions of people in this coun-
try have read in thousands of papers that James
j. Hill was born and reared in Canada and came
to this country as young man to seek his for
tune. Did any one Of them ever hear him refer
red to as a Canadian American? Did any one in
this country ever think of him as anything else
than an American? Did any one in the United
States ever know of his thinking of himself as
anything except an American?
The Federal census of 1910 shows that there
were in this country at that time 1,201,146 who
had come to us from Canada and Newfoundland
Who ever heard of single one in all that number
classed as a Canadian American? Did any one
ever know of their getting together before an
election and making demands threats in the
interest of Canada? Does any one know of any
particle of hostile sentiment in this country to-
ward Canada or Canadians?
Reciprocal conditions are found on the other
side of the border. Hundreds of thousands of
people have gone across the boundary in recent
years to cultivate the fertile praries of the
Canadian Northwest. Those familiar with con-
ditions know that there are no American-Canad-
ians up there. The hyphen simply does not exist
for those who go from one country to the other
north and south of the international line
