Why Some Dealers Sell
Private Brand Roofing

Any responsible dealer can sell Certain
teed, but some dealers prefer to sell pri-
vate brands. Why? Because compe-
tition is not possible nobody else has
their private brand for sale-nothing
regulates in any way the profit that
they can take on a private brand if
you'll buy it.
If they sell Certain-teed they must limit
their margin of profit to a reasonable
figure. They get enough, but they
can't play the hog. Every reputable
dealer has free right to buy and sell it
at fair prices.

Private Brands Are a
Gamble

Where's the percentage for you in pri-
vate brands anyway? You don't know
what they will do for you. You don't
know whether the little mills that made
them know how to make good roofing
or not. And even roofing experts can't
tell much about roofing by just looking
at it.
But you know the Certain-teed repu-
tation for high-quality products and for
fair dealing. You know that Certain
teed Roofing is guaranteed.
It's as easy as two and two. When you
buy Certain-teed you know what you
are getting. When you buy some pri-
vate brand you don't.
And don't forget that any responsible
dealer can get Certain-teed for you
quickly from a nearby Certain-teed
warehouse or jobber. He gets it when
he wants it and he gets what he wants.
He can afford to sell you at fair price,

T.H.|.E. AUTHORIZED
TO CHARGE ; CENTS

INDIANAPOLIS, June 24-The In
diana Public Service Commission to-
day authorized three cent passenger
fare basis for the T. H, l. & E, Indian
apolis, and Cincinnati and Union
Traction companies
The order is effective July l, the
increase placing the rates on a parity
with the steam railroads and fares
charged on similar lines in Michigan.
Ohio and Illinois.
The Indiana rates have been 2A
cents per mile. The commission at
the same time denied the petition of
the Union Traction company for n
increase in its communication fares.
The denial was based on the ground
OF unreliability of service for COM
mutors.
Ihe advanced cost of coal was laid
down for the principle reasen for
readjustment although the order said
evidence had shown that the con-
tlnued Upward trend of cost of all
other items of maintenance and opera
t1on were factors.

BECK WOULD ASK FOR
new CENSUS; CITY'S
DEFRAUDED, He SAYS

Richmond would be justified in fill
ing with the United States Census bu-
reau petition for a Remuneration
Of the city's population. in the opinion
Of c. B. Beck, postmaster.
According to records of mail deliv-
cries on file in the city postoffice and
a careful method employed in the
making of estimates, Richmond's pop
uiatlon is shown to be not less tha n
10000. The official census for Rich
mond, recently announced by the CEN
sus bureau, showed a population of
only 26,76
The mayor has the authority, 1t Is
said, to file protest against the
enumeration made by the bureau OF
the c1ty's popula ton. and if the city
can produce satisfactory evidence in
dlcating that careful enumeration
Ws not conducted. the bureau prob
ably would authorize that the city's
population be taken again
Many Are Not Called On
1t is believed that a large number
of people would be prepared to testify
that, to the best of their knowledge.
they were not counted WIN the popu-
lauon enumeration was taken. A
number of men have already informed
Postmaster Beck that census enumer-
ators did not call at their homes.
One of the employees of the Rich
mond postoffice was in Muncie this
week for the purpose of investigating
the methods pursued in the operation
of the postoffice in Muncie," Postmas-
ter Beck remarked
He found that the mail handled in
the Muncie postoffice was approx
mately the same as the mail handled
IN our postoffice, while the parcel
post business in Muncie was not as
heavy as it is in Richmond, notwith-
standing the fact that Muncie is now
shown to have a population of So, 900.
The parcel post business in Muncie is
handled by one horse-drawn delivery
wagon. Richmond requires two mo-
tor trucks to handle this class of
work
In Anderson. which is now given a
population of 10000, neither the mail
service nor the parcel post business
IS as heavy as handled by the Rich
mond postoffice. Also, the postal re-
ceipts at the Anderson office are less
than they are in Richmond. Postal
receipts at Muncie are about the
same a. IN Rlchmond"
Doesn't Annex Suburbs,
One of the reasons which has been
assigned for Richmond's two rival
neighbors, Muncie and Anderson. forg-
ing ahead Of this city in population
has been the policy of each of these
cities in annexing nearl suburbs.
a policy which has never been fol-
lowed by Richmond.
Several Richmond suburbs which
extend right to the city's corporation
lines. have no affiliation with the mu-
notably Spring Grove.
Which is an Incorporated village;
part of the Beallview addition, a sec
ion of southeast Richmond, a we'll
populated district along the National
road east Of Glen Miller park. Earl
lam Heights and Benton Heights.
Were these sections part of the
city of Richmond, it is safe to estimate
that an accurate census of Richmond
would show its population to be well
over 10000

develop thus far in the civil war which
began last Friday between Unionists
and Nationalist forces.
The number of killed and injured
during the day had not been determin-

the scene of the veriable pitched
battles IN Bishop, Cress and Bond
streets.
1t is believed. however. that there
were scores of victims. Hospitals are
being taxed to their capacity in caring
for those struck down by bullets fired
by the opposing factions
Rumors Fly Fast In City.
Rumors of the most alarming char
acter are current here. Nationist
forces are said to be gathering to the
northwest Of the city preparatory to
an attack while Unionist adherents
are entering the town and are being
collected for a grim defense of the
place.
The men engaged in the actual fight
Ing are the extremists of the contend
Ing factions and probably number only
few hundred. They absolutely ter
rorized the city yesterday, however, a.
they fired volleys down the streets
from barricades they had erected, or
posted on roofs or in windows, shot at
almost everyone who dared to appear
Bishop Street, a long thoroughfare
running southwestwardly from the
town hall, has been the principal
battle-ground during the past "a hours.
Sim Feiners have concentrated near
St, Columbeill's college about three
quarters of mile out this street,
while the unionists have taken up
positions near the center of town aud
have erected sandbag breastworks.

No trains are leaving Limerick, &C
cording to the report.
A driver declined to operate his
train when police boarded it at Ath-
eney. leaving the train on the main
line. This block, with the one at

OF southwest Ireland.
Sir Hamar Greenwood, chief secre-
tary for Ireland, today received anoth-
er urgent telegram from the London
derry magistrates expressing their
alarm that no action was being taken
by the government in response to the
appeal they made early in the fighting
In that city between Unionists and

They consider the situation desper-
ate and fear 1t will become worse.
The message adds that food supplies
are running out and the gas supply
