COUNTY
MAN CELEBRATES HIS
HUNDREDTH BIRTHDAY

LAFAYETTE, Ind, June 10. Il
Charles C. Grimes. the step-father OF
DR.. NJ. NJ. Larry, president Of the La
fayette public school board, observed
the one hundredth anniversary of his
birth, Saturday, June 10. Mr., Grimes,
so far as is known, is the only CEN
tenarian in Tippecanoe county. He
resides with his son, Henry c. Grimes,
on a farm east of Lafayette, and is
in such feeble health that no celebra-
ton will be held.
Mr.. Grimes, however still retains
his mental faculties and is fond of re-
lating about the good old pioneer
days" when school houses were log
cabins and railroads were unknown.
He came to this section of the state
from Lexington, KY, in 1888 with his
parents, travelling in a covered wagon
typical of the early days. They were
on the road seven weeks and two days
when they finally settled near the
town of Wallace in the southeastern
corner of Fountain county.
Served as Postmaster.
Later Mr.. Grimes became postmas-
ter Of Wallace, which position has
been held by him or one of his de-
scendents for SO years, and at present
IS nGlu ny one Ol uIS I1C
became a Mason at Covington in 1850,
and is thought to be one of the oldest
Masons in Indiana.
In his long life Mr. Grimes has met
and associated with many prominent
men and he takes pleasure in telling
of Daniel Voorhees, and his father
spending the night with the Grimes
family when young Voorhees, was on
his way to college. Mr. Grimes was
! also intimately acquainted with Gen.
Lew Wallace, author Of Ben Hur";
John Purdue, founder Of Purdue uni
versity, and many others now dead,
who were prominently identified with
| early Lafayette history.
| When Mr.. Grimes came to Lafayette
in 1886 it was a rambling village of a
| few houses and the Wabash and Erie
canal, for many years one of the prin
/ cipal artificial waterways of the Unit
| ed States, was being constructed. He
voted the first time for James x. Polk
and altogether has voted at 10 presi
| Dental elections. He is the father OF
eight children, five of whom are still
| living.

McAdoo's Measurements

William G. McAdoo is quoted saying the
government originally took over the railroads be-
cause of congestion and Strengthened them out.
Now, says Mr. McAdoo, within two months of
the roads return to private management, con-
gcstion exists again.
In 1917 congestion developed because many
different officials of the and navy depart
ments were issuing priority freight orders.
There being coordination of these orders,
congestion was bound to develop
Congestion today is due to the effects of the
recent "outlaw'' strike and inadequate equip
quipment.
The "outlaw" strike resulted from the I'M
warranted delay of months by President Wilson
to perform his promise to adjust the wages of
the railroad men affected.
The under-equipped condition of the rail-
roads today is directly and solely chargeabe to
the government, which failed to provide for the

Today's Talk
BY George Matthew Adams
A sTORY-AND SOME QUESTION.
INGS


friend of mine once told me the
story Of a barrel which was anchored
in the sea near Cape Horn.
In this barrel were placed bits of
interesting data, magazine and news
paper articles, and letters. And when
ever ship passed near ii would stop,
take the letters and data left there,
and replace new ones.
So as time went on, this barrel
came to be a veritable messenger of
hope and cheer to hundreds of hungry
sailors and men of the sea.
But it is important to note that
something new and interesting and
helpful was always put into the bar
rel in lieu of what was taken out.
The hearts of men and women are
a kind of floating barrels. Into them
somebody's gifts are always being
placed And we are all of us con-
stantly taking out something from the
inner lives and experiences of others
that adds to our worth.
But are we always as careful to put
something back which is as helpful
and cheering as what we take out?
Are We messengers of hope? Are
we given to thinking of the other fell
low-who may come from some long
and discouraging journey, and whose
hunger of heart Graves what we sc
abundantly are able to give?
Those seamen fought through thick
water and long storms to get what the
barrel would surely give.
What kind of messages are you
laying aside for those who hope tc
reach the barrel of your heart?

The Special Session of the Legislature

If the special session of the legislature,
which Gov. Goodrich contempates calling, in
tends to take up many measures, besides the one
for the operation of the state institu-
tons, members of the general assembly will
spend forty days in Indianapolis.
The public knows that there are number of
laws that require drastic amendment, among
them the tax law, which is in general disfavor,
not only with citizens, but with many leaders of
both parties. If the emergency is great enough
to warrant it's amendment at once the general
assembly should stay in session until the reforms
written into that statute or it is striker
from the books.
The impression prevails that the governor
has delayed calling special session because of
the political effect it might have at the next cleo
ton, but he may rest assured that if the special
session enacts remedial legislation, the public
will not be slow to recognize it's value, and will
show its appreciation in the November election
Members of the legislature need have no fear
about the result, if they refrain from playing
politics and fearlessy enact the laws that are
needed in the emergency The public wants the
business transacted as quickly as possible.

American Express Co. Asks
rs Per Cent Rate Increase

The American Railway Express
company, which has offices in Rich
mond, has filed with the public service
commission a petition for increased
rates and for authority TO change
classifications. An exhibit filed by the
company shows that on the basis of
a test the proposal would result in
approximately a 25 per cent. increase.
The company directs the attention
of the commission to the fact that it
has now before the interstate COM
merce commission a petition for high
er interstate rates. 1t hopes to have
the I. c. c. grant the petition before
September l, which is the date on
which the federal guaranty against
deficits expires. The company hopes
to have the rates go into effect for in
trastate traffic at the same time the
interstate rates go into effect For
that reason it requests that the Indi-
ana commission take no action now
but wait on the action of the |. c. s.

There cannot fail to be general satls-

been maue evident on many occasions
that denominations of rubbish furnish
TN. fuel a., starting many fires, and
this is particularly true when such ma
terial is piled in cellars, buildings or
closets where all that is required is
lighted match. a cigarette or cigar
butt TO start a bad fire. The dispesal
of such material by burning 1t in the

valuable kind, and with it Of course

THE CUTTING OF PRICES

\ wave of price reduction that seems
70 be quite general is underway through
out the country. 1t has spread with much
rapidity once it got started and with big
department stores entering it means re-
auctions in many lines of goods. How
long it will continue or how far it will
go is Droblematical, though the rivalry
in reduction is certainly bringing the
prices down from their sky-high posi-
tion.
This move to cut prices appears to
have started soon after the opening OF
the movement to wear overalls and cal,
leo in protest against the high price OF
clothing. The sentiment of the people In
that respect seems to have been senseC
for it was not long before one of the bis
department stores of New York anC
Philadelphia announced that all good!
would be disposed of at 20 per cent, re-
duction. That was the signal for 9TH
ers, The plan received widespread
commentator and it was taken I'D il
other cities with the reductions rannin,
all the way from 90 to so per cent. a,
competition in cutting increased
1t comes likewise at time when or
ueiS are Delis cancelled and goods ar
being delayed because of transportation
difficulties and when the federal Teserv,
system is making it's efforts felt IL
bringing about lower prices. BY the in
crease Of discount rates it becomes NOR

Of goods, and with the price reductio,
started there is a disposition to Join il
the movement and get rid of the good
before the drop becomes any greater.
How thoroughly the public appreciate
the chance to make the dollar go far
fher is indicated by the rush that is be
ng made for the goods. The determine
ton not to buy new goods while price
remained SO high has undoubtedly bee
practiced quite generally, and contrib
