AT one timc Mrs. HamOn visited their
rooms. She found their clothes inter-
mingled. Hamon sent his wife away.
But fortune smiled on Hamon. He

HOME OWNERSHIP
HELD THRIFT AID
Good Citizenship Stimulated
by Possession.
BY s. w. sTRAUs.
President American Society for Thrift

President American Society for Thrift.
Home ownership is one of the best
examples of thrift, and many families
gained their first thrift experiences when
they began saving money with this wor-
thy end In view.
America today needs more homes and
more home owners She needs not only
added housing facilities, but the STABILIZE
ing influences of wider home ownership
in our social and economic life.
The man who owns a little piece of
ground and the roof over his head gains
a deep appreciation of property rights,
the orderly processes of society and the
constructive influences of thrift. He has
q tangible example of the beneficial quail
ties of economy He has a solid rock on
which to stand in times Of stress. He
acquires a sense of proprietary independ-
ence that cannot fail to add to his own
rightful self-esteem.
ALI phases of thrift work are to be en-
couraged, but in home ownership we find
a field in which practically and whole
some sentiments are happily mingled. At
the present time especially. America is
in need of stimulated building activities.
There is a housing shortage which for
three years has been growing more acute
in all types Of structures, but the slow
ing up processes have been manifest par
ticularly in residences.
As a result of over-crowding, harmful
effects have resulted, particularly in the
cOngested districts Of the larger cities,
and the nations need of more homes has
reached the dignity Of a grave national
problem.
Many agencies and forces are now
working to alleviate these unwholesome
conditions and they are worthy of every
riEhtful encourag cement.
1t is to be remembered that plans for
home ownership are to be undertaken
with due prudence. Nothing would be
gained by rushing blindly into any ar
rangement without first giving careful
consideration to every detail. No family
should attempt to buy or build a home
that is beyond their means and they
should be sure that they are exercising
good judgment and thrift in their de-
cision as to price, location and all other
possible conditions.
Those are all matters in which one may
with the exercise Of due care be prop
erly safeguarded.
First of all make the resolution that
you are going to have your own home !;
then save, plan and act in accordance
with these worthy thrift impulses and
the dictates Of good judgment.

SON TESTIFIES
MOTHERS GUILT
Woman Gets Jail Sentence
Due to Evidence.

A sons evidence against his mother
was the weight that turned the balances
of the scales of justice and caused Judge
Walter Pitchard to find Mrs AIDA Robin
son. 226 WOlcott street, guilty of assault
and battery on Miss Hazel Richards,
300S Martindale avenue, in city court
today. The court assessed a fine OF 81
and costs and sentenced Mrs. Robinson
to ono day in jail An appeal was taken.
The case was one of the strangest heard
in city court. 1t was shown that Charles
Robinson son of Mrs. AIDA Robinson,
had visited Miss Hazel Schaefer 301o
Martindale avenue. Mrs. Robinson's at
tOrney admitted to the court that his
client had called Miss Schaefer by tele-
phone and had threatened her and that
his client objected to her son visiting
Miss Schaefer. However, it was not Miss
Schaefer, but Miss Richards, a young
woman who lived next door to Miss
SchHefer. who was attacked.
Miss Richards was called from her
home Wednesday night and when she
reached the front yard was attacked by a
woman who chOked her. Miss Richards
testified the woman who attacked her
was Mrs. Robinson. Miss Schaefer also
testified that the attack was made on
Miss Richards soon after Mrs. Robinson
had telephoned her home and threatened
to whip her.
Mrs. Robinson admitted she telephoneA
Miss Schaefer and threatened her, but de-
MED attacking Miss Richards and claimed
she was at home in bed, as she had been
Ill for three days. Mrs. RObinson's SON
in-law and daughter also testified that
she had not left the house on Wednesday
night and that she had been in bed for
of the defendant, volunteered to testify
and his evidence was the weight that
convicted his mother.
He said he saw his mother run from
the lawn of the Richards home after the
attack on Miss Richards and jump on to
the running board of a moving automo-
bile. A singing cross-examination failed
TO break down the testimony Of the young
man against his mother.

FARMERS FACE
ARSON CHARGE
Greencastle Men Arrested by
Fire Marshals.

George L. Hurst and Homer Spangler,
farmers living near Greencastle, are fac
ing charges of arson as a result of the
burning of the store of C. H. Ashworth
at Crandell, March .. The loss was about
$50, 900.
The arrest of the two men was brought
about by G. V. Richey and Tony George,
representing the State fire marshaps de-
partment. The two deputy marshals,
picking up the trail of the automobile in
which the men rode, followed them
through a large part OF southern Indiana.
According to reputed written confess
sions Of the two men, Hurst had ar
ranged with Ashworth to trade his farm
for the store. Each put up $500 to be
forfeited by either if he should break ths
contract. 1t was stated that Hurst de-
sired to break the contract and at the
same time not forfeit the $500. He is
said to have told the deputy marshals he
believed he could bring this about by
burning the store.

March IL

Wheat-We felt the farm grain reserves
yesterday in the market. Some short
covering, based on reports of further ex
port business, received a decided check
when confirmed reports to hand of pur-
chases by France of Argentine wheat at
Is cents under United States parity. There
were some sales Of United States wheat
reported to France and Italy but It
was generally supposed to be closing old
business, or working on moderate amounts
for prompt shipment, while Argentine.
cheaper wheat, was getting shipped.
There were some reports of green bugs,
but they were not taken seriously. Min
neapolis reported that the largest part of
the receipts at that PORT and Duluth
we're of the Canadian variety. Kansas
City reported liberal increase In their
stocks of both wheat and corn. The
trading showed, all through the session,
that the short interest was largely elm
mated and that 1t would take something
new to again put prices higher. A re-
port of three Cargoes of wheat worked to
France could not be confirmed at all.
With the known large quantities Of wheat,
that we have In our reserves, 1t looks
like an uphill job working for higher
prices, unless the motive comes from alb
solute crop damage.
Corn-There was nothing new in corn.
1t took its tone from wheat. Receipts
were a little more moderate, but so much
corn Is moving that Ii will insure heavy
increases in the visible supply for two
or three weeks to come. A little eX
port business was reported, but cuts lit
tie figure, as our available quantity Is
practically unlimited. When the wheat
market showed weakness. corn very
promptly followed, and we are Of the
option that 1t will take something more
than the price of wheat to keep corn
from declining In the near future.
Osts-CatS showed no distinctive char
acteristics yesterday at all, taking their
tone from the other grains.
Provisions hogs were unable
to check the easiness In the provision
market which. more or less, sympathiZed
with the weakness In grain yesterday.
We see no very great decline in provi-
sions but one must pick buying places
on declines.

BOARD
WISHES SUPREME
Attorney Advises in School
Building Matter.

That the wishes Of the State board Of
accounts in regard to plans and specih-
cations for school buildings should be
followed by the board of school commits
sioners. regardless Of the personal opin-
ions of the board members or of the at
torney for the board, was the advice
given by Albert Baker, attorney for the
board, at a special meeting Of the board
this morning.
The meeting was called after it had
been learned that a fire in Mr.. Bakers
desk yesterday had destroyed a number
of letters and papers which he was ex-
aiming preliminary to making a report
on the gality of certain provisions In
the specifications for engineering work
for schools Nos. 81 and 70, which matter
has been a subject of controversy be-
tween the State board of accounts and the
firm of Snider & Rotz, engineers for the
board -
1t was decided at the meeting that
A. Snider, member of the above "a &
and also building advisor for the bos
should call upon Jesse Eschbach, exas
liner for the State board of accounts, IN
an effort to reach an agreement before
the special meeting of the board, which
will be held tomorrow to consider the
letting of contracts for Schools 81 and
70, bids for which were received at the
regular meeting of the board Tuesday
night.
Following the meeting today Mrs. Ju-
liza Belle Tutewiler, president Of the
board, said that the outcome of the dis
cussion between the State board of ac-
counts and Snider & Rotz would not
affect the letting of the general contracts
tomorrow, but would delay only the let
ting of contracts for the engineering
work, such as heating. ventilating,
not the opinion of James A. Allison,
board member, however. He said that,
in his opinion, no contract whatever
could be let until the matter in dis
pute had been settled definitely.
Under date of Feb. II and Feb. %
Mr.. Eschbach wrote to Snider & Rotz,
expressing strong disapproval Of certain
sections OF the specifications for engineer
ing at Schools Nos. 81 and 49, saying
that they were illegal and disapprov-
ing particularly of those which he al
legged made II almost impossible for the
contractor to use devices for ventilating
other than those manufactured under
patents owned by Clarence c. Ship Of
this city.
L. A. Snider answered for the firm and
argued that the specifications were per-
fectly proper. Yesterday the papers In
the case were sent to Mr.. Baker for ex-
animation, and then the fire occurred that
resulted in the special meeting today.

SWINE MART
TONE IRREGULAR
Light Hogs 10 to Is Cents
Higher-Cattle Strong,
Calves Weak.
RANGE OF HOG PRICES.

Prices on swine were irregular at the
opening of the local live stock exchange
today. Heavy and mixed hogs were gen
orally steady, while light hogs were 10
to 10 cents higher, with a top or VII. 10
and the bulk of the sales Of that grade
at $11. 5O@11.65. However, there were
few heavy and mixed hogs that were
slightly lower.
Pigs and roughs were practically
steady, although there were few sales
lower and 4 similar number that could
be considered higher
The bulk of sales for the day was the
same as that of the day before, $11@11.50.
Buying was of a general nature, and
it was thought that the clearance Tor
the day would be poor. Receipts for the
day approximated 6,J00 fresh hogs, with
approximately 1900 left over from the
market of the day before. Some Of the
commission men stated that they thought
there would be a similar number left
from today's market for>the closing trade
of the week.
the market and a fairly good demand,
prices we're strong on practically all
grades Of cattle. There were few bulls
that looked slightly lower, while good
cows and heifers were fully steady to
strong.
There was a steady opening to the .alf
market, but a weakness set in towards
the close OF the market and prices were
25c to soc lower on common and poor
grades at the close.
Receipts for the day Appropriated 500
calves. There was a top of $13 on
very few choice calves, while at the open
ing the bulk of that grade sold at $124
1850 Practically all Of the good and
choice calves were sold during the first
hour of the market and consequently
those grades of calves were little IL any
lower. Good calves brought $11.5OQ12,
while mediums were quoted at S9G11.
Poor grades Of calves brought as low as
IS.
With sheep and lamb receipts approx
imating 100, prices were strong with
prime sheep at s3@4, other grades $1@3,
and lambs $6Q950.
