Listen, People!
Sarah and [ are just plain folks.

Sarah and are just plain folks
I couldn't get over my ambition to show
the people of this city that Lew Shank
could be a better mayor than number Of
others who had pretty fair opinions of
themselves. Sarah finally got the same idea
and we went into the Republican primary
and walloped the whole bunch that couldn't
see things like we did.
Next Tuesday the people of this good
old town are going to say whether we get
the chance to serve them for four years or
not There have been lot of bitter things said about
me in this campaign and haven't been very backward
about saying few myself. It makes sore to have
people who know better try to hook me up with law
breakers and try to tell my friends that haven't any
regard for home and the children of this city.
But never mind about all that-folks will get excited
in campaign and say things they do not really believe
about each other.
This is about the last chance I'll have to say any
thing to you before you and go to the polls
to elect mayor want to get this to you before
am elected because I'll get chance to prove it then

Thousands of City
Rodents Paid Death
Penalty Since Dec. I

Twelve thousand two hundred and two
rats have officially paid the death pen
atty in Indianapolis since Dec. l, 1920,
when the rat determination campaign was
launched, according to figures In the
city controllers office. or these 1O,S24
were slain this year.
The incentive for the destruction or
the pests has been the Scent bounty of
fered by the city for every rat tail pre-
asnted at the city hall, and to date $o1O.1O
has been expended in this way.
City hall officials, however, have been
obliged to change their system because
some OF the youngsters engaged IN the
rat campaign have found Il way to OBJ
tain easy money.
The plan has been for the boys to de-
pos!t the tails in the basement Of the
city hall, where they were given re-
ceipt by the custodian. This receipt was
then presented to the controller for the
bounty. In several cases 1t has been
found that the figures were raised by the
Logs. For instance, one boy received
a receipt for seven tails, but when he
appeared at the controllers window the
figure had been increased to seventy
eight" Now the officials are writing in
the numbers.

IN THE PICTURES
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

The master screen craftsman, Dav-
id Wark Griffith, producer of the
screens greatest sensations, creator
of the most advanced innovations in
motion picture productions, finder
and developer Of the worlds greatest
screen stars, has produced another
wonderful production, "The Love
Flower" which is being heralded ev-
erywhere as a creation of exquisite
beauty, haunting charm and spirited
drama. United Artists Corporation
recently announced its release and
the first showing of this newest
Griffith production in this commun-
ity will be at the Strand theater on
Sunday.
Words of the most superlative de-
gree and descriptions of the most
laudatory nature have not been found
to express in adequate terms this
wonderful picture play of love and
adventure such as only a Griffith, a
master, may reveal in all its beauty,
strength and excitement.
Its theme, primarily, is of unusual
interest, interviewer with side lights
of intricate complications that add
materially to its action, it's heart in
terest, its suspense and its ultimate
justification, for it is an unusually
dramatic story of the wonderful love
of daughter for her heart-broken
father, who being bounded to the
very end of the world, dares to plan
the undoing of the man who is de-
srous of bringing ultimate disgrace
upon the very light of her heart and
soul and unhappiness to her every
thought.
Not one woman in ten thousand
would do what this daughter dared
to do to save her father Not one
person of her sex in many times that
would have chung to the
heart strings Of her parents, through
their many trials and tribulations,
with every atom of strength of her
frail body, as did this girl Of nature,
this child of all that was good and
true and wholesome. Yet this girl,
without the knowledge Of her father,
plotted to give away all that was
near and dear to her, even to the ex-
tent of her own life to save for him
a few more happy days on earth.
