NEW ENGLAND HOLSTEIN
BREEDERS MEETING.

Perhaps one of the largest anc
most enthusiastic meetings that the
Holstein breeders ever held in New
England was held in Boston, Mass.
on the fourth and fifth of January
Prominent men from every state in
New England were present; many OF
them young breeders with all the
enthusiasm of youth, and many OF
them old veterans in the Holstein
game-men who have known the
breed since the early Importation to
Massachusetts. While many of them
are growing old they were equal in
their enthusiasm and their belief in
the Holstein COW to the youngest
breeder in the game.
After the reports of the officers of
last year, the recent Holstein drive
in New England was discussed. There
is every reason why New England
should continue to be a center of
Holsteins No other section of the
country is so favored by large mar
kets as is New England.
There was a unanimity of thought
among the breeders that there should
be in New England a field secretary
who should devote all of his time to
the interests Of the Holstein breed
ers.
Judge Frederick M Peasley of
Cheshire, Conn, was chosen presi-
dent, Professor t f Elder of Mount
Hermon was elected recording secre-
tary and Mr. L f McIntire of Water
vile, Maine. was chosen treasurer.
Two representatives from each state
were elected to serve as vice-presi-
dents of the organization. Those
from Vermont are F E Gorham and
F B Howe.
After the election of officers the
matter was taken up as to how the
proposed field secretary should be
chosen, and il was unanimously
agreed that the decision should be
left to the board of directors. Mr.
W f Stillwell of the d w Field
Farm Company said that he knew of
no man who was so splendidly fitted
for the position as Professor William
Rider. There was no question from
the demonstration but that Professor
Rider was the unanimous choice Of
the breeders present.

With Its greatly expanded membership
and lively interest in the coming national
encampment Of the G. A. f., Ben Har-

calling on Sons Of Veterans to assist
the committee In providing rooms for the
large army OF visitors which will be in
Indianapolis the week of Sept. %.
The G. A R. folk come first, but the
Sons of Veterans and other allied
patriotic orders also are to gather IN In
dianapolis the same week for their ma
tional meetings. The housing commit
tees task is an enormous one. Good
progress is being made, according to re

rison camp, which is to be the largest
camp on earth" before Sept Is, will be
a large factor in solving the housing
problem for the great encampment week.

GROWTH OF CITY
AIDED BY CARS
Street Railways Big Factor in
Municipal Expansion.

Operation OF 800 street cars over 169
miles Of track every day in the year re-
gardless OF weather conditions IS a far
larger task than most people imagine To
accomplish this in Indianapolis means
that the indianapolis Street Railwa Y
Company must employ a force Of about
1900 men and that schedules must be
worked out scientifically and carefully to
avoid confusion, delays and imperfect
transportation.
we think we have done remarkably
we'll 10 keep the service to point where
it Is today" an official OF the street
car company said recently. Conditions
have been so adverse that 1t has been
impossible for Us to make the progress
required by the growth Of the city and
that we had hoped to make when the
company was reorganlzed two years ago.
At that time II was our plan to build up
strong company to serve the public and
afford good transportation at the low
est possible cost This plan was given
a severe setback by a runaway coal mar
ket in 1920 and by what we consider IN
fair jitney competition on some OF our
lines.
with a change toward better economic
conditions and the abolition Of unfair
competition we hope to be able on a low
rate Of fare, to begin rehabilitsting the
system as we had hoped to do at an
earlier period.
"a city and its street car system are
linked together very closely and just
what It means to be without street car
service is only fully understood by such
cities as Des Moines, Iowa. where the
company was forced to suspend. In fact
the growth Of q city is to a great de-
gree dependent uron the effectiveness Of
its street car system"

Early Buyer Gets Coal and
Avoids Rush, Operator Says

as they are liable to be. Statistics show
that during the first seven months of
1921 coal production throughout the coun-
try was approximately 100000 tons
short of normal production for several
years past. 1t is easy to see what win
happen shoould a heavy, cold winter
come along and create a sudden demand.
A resumption of industrial activity on
a scale approaching normal conditions
also will make this shortage Of coal pro-
duction a serious factor.
Already we know that there is a
shortage Of cars for hauling gravel,
crushed stone and other materials of
this character, and this at a tims when
relatively little coal is being moved. The
Importance Of this becomes the more ap-
parent when II is realized that the same
type Of cars are used for hauling coal
as is used for stone and gravel. When
the time comes for railroads to handle
large quantities of coal on short notice
1t may be impossible for them to do SO
with any degree Of speed.
This demand for coal is as certain
to como as is the sun to rise. We all
remember how IT hit US suddenly last
year. This year 1t may come later &c
may not come in as violent form, but
it certainly win come sooner or later.
"In brief, my advice to the coal con-
sumer is this: Coal win not be cheaper.
II may be higher; by buying now you
probably win be able to get a better coal
at a cheaper price than you will pay
for an inferior article later IN the season.
Buy now and save money, worry and
trouble"

NEW AUTO PLAN
PROVES SUCCESS
'Pay-as- YOu-Ride' Idea Makes
Hit With Public.

Expert automobile men said It never
could be done; that irresponsible, wild
eyed, joy riding drivers would wreck the
machines within a week. Bankers and
other financial men said the plan was
too radical and We doomed to failure,
but one indianapolis man, George 5.
Beard, was convinced that his idea was
correct and he stuck to It and put It
across And here is the idea, nothing
more nor less than many persons who
do not use automobiles on a rental bases
will rent them gladly If they are per
mitted to do the driving themselves, thus
saving the expenses OF having TO pay
Tor the time of an expert chauffeur as
well as for the use Of the car
Mr. Boards original idea was put into
practice in Indianapolis almost two years
ago and so great was the success OF the
plan that today the Warren Auto Livery
Company, 127 East wabash street. Of
which he Is an officer and general man.
ager, operates on no other basis.
Il always did believe that there was
big demand for automobiles that could
be driven by the man renting them" Mr.
Beard explained wv hen | first sprung
my idea you would have thought l was
announcing some wild eyed doctrine from
the way it was received by the supposedly
wise automobile people All sorts Of
dire disaster was predicted, my cars
would be stolen they would be found in
tree tops and in river beds; but actual
experience has shown that as general
rule my customers have been more care
full Of my cars than they would have been
of their own. Then the item Of cost has
a strong appeal to automobile renters
One Of the big items Of expense uPder the
usual way Of conducting a business Is
the hire OF experienced, skilled drivers
This is a big item. With this item re
moved from consideration the customer is
of course able to rent machine at
much lower figure than If he hired car
driven by an employe of the company.
This service has strong appeal TO
travelling men and professional men who
are away from home and in indianapolis
on business Car owners themselves, they
would have very little use for a chauffeur
and a large percentage of our business
comes from this class of trade, men who
wish ohave a machine at their disposal
while in indianapolis"

Househclders who are eslaying putting
in their winter supply of coal are max
ing a big mistake and running the risk
of being caught by cold weather at a
time when it may be difficult to get coal
delivered promptly is the opinion of E.
A. Ogle, president Of the Ogle Coal Com
Pany, 1902 Fletcher Savings and Trust
building.
According to Mr.. Ogle year after year
the same thing happens, but the buying
public does not learn the lesson. During
the summer mon tbs the retail coal deal
ers sit almost idle in their offices, with
their yards full OF coal ana no customers.
Most retail coal yards have a limited ca
pacity and cannot store UP sufficient
coal to withstand a sudden, heavy de-
mand. Besides the average dealer can
not afford to tie up his capital in coal
that is not going to find purchaser for
months to come
Then along comes a cold snap, every
one wants coal at the same time, the deal
ers are rushed day and night to get out
orders; their stock is depleted rapidly,
finally becoming exhausted and the rail-
roads cannot haul the eoal into the city
fast enough to supply the demand from
frantic dealers whose supply has run out.
All this would be avoided, at least great
" minimized, Mr.. Ogis says, If the con-
sumer would order at least a fair pro-
portion Of coal for his winters use dur
Ing the summer and early fall This
would enable the retailer TO move his
stock and keep coal flowing into the mar
ket with some degree of steadiness.
I'm my opinion" Mr.. Ogle says, retail
coal prices are about as low right now

BATTERY DEALER
is BIG FACTOR
Car Owner Must Rely Upon
Integrity of Distributor.

With electric storage batteries as with
eggs and watches and home brew the ex-
ternal appearance Of the object has moth
ing whatever to do with the contents, and
the contents are the important thing
What is inside a storage battery, whether
eighteen months or more OF long hard
satisfactory wear or a few brief weeks
Of use can be told only by experience, and
the experience OF many motorists along
these lines has been so bitter as to make
them believe that all storage batteries
are nothing but gambles, that you may
get a good one once in a long time. but
that you are more likely to get "stung"
The ease with which a poor storage
battery can be dressed up IN a nifty
box. and ali dolled Up with a pretty coat
Of paint, has been the cause OF a large
number OF inferior batteries being placed
on the open market, and about the only
protection an owner has IS to buy from
a hrm in which he has the utmost con
hdenoe, men who have been engaged in
the electrical business for a sufficient
length Of time to make them familiar
with all kinds and conditions OF batteries
and who have tbs interests Of the Gus
toners at heart.
It is the object Of Higgins & Ran
dali, s02 North Capitol avenue, Indiana
distributors for the National battery Of
Minneapolis, to supply such 8 service,

A TON IN TIME
SAVES TROUBLE
Summer Coal Purchasers
Avoid Cold Weather Rush.

During these long. hot summer days,
when about all q man thinks about is
trying to keep cool, and through the
short, warm, summer nights, when he is
trying to coax every possible bit Of air
through all the open windows in the
house, the average citizen thinks only
Of winter, If he thinks about 1t at all,
as a very desirable condition. He for
gets about the furnace that must have
coal, the ashes that must be carted away
and all tho winter Inconvenience be
should have foreseen and prepared for,
tut did not
Then some day, a couple Of months
from now, he swakens to find the mer-
curry shivering around in the bottom Of
the Thermometer and no coal IN the coal
bin. He rushes TO the telephone, calls
up his coal dealer and then has q spasm
because dozens OF others just Ike him
self have done exactly the same thing
and the dealer cannot deliver all the coal
In the same hour. after the consumer
has neglected TO take advantage OF ais
