Lyman's new Brunswick record
is called After Say I'm Sorry

mighty hot dance things which
makes a man forget the time of day.
To some people this number,
when sung, may have a dash of
scarlet in it. l rather took to this
tune and even the lyrics when |
first heard this number. Lyman
has a mighty warm arrangement of
this number.

sellers in Indianapolis just now.
Anyway, Indianapolis will get a

All animal and vegetable or

In scientific language mildew is
any ascomycetus parasitic fungus

they are not as imposing and
large as their names. They are
just the simplest Lying cells.

A RAILROAD
PROBLEM

Protests against the proposed
abandonment OF the line of the
Central Indiana Railroad. the Mid
land, between Muncie and Wave
land Junction, will be heard Mon
day by the public service com
mission at the request Of the
interstate commerce commission,
For fifty years the Midland,
which strays uncertainty over the
Hoosier landscape. has been oper-
ated at n loss. 1t has skunk de-
jectedly from receivership to re-
ownership. The present owners,
the Big Four and PENNSYLVANIA,
unable to make 1t pay operating
expenses, want to tear up the
tracks and quit.
But sixteen thriving Indiana
towns and villages would be de-
prived of shipping facilities If the
line is abandoned. Grain eleva-
tors, brick plants and other indus
tries would be left high and dry.
Doubtless the shippers protests
should have weight with the in
terstate commerce commission, but
why should the owners of an I'M
profitable railroad be compelled to
keep on losing money? Yet even
the money-losing branch line rail-
road can't die without permission
of the commission.
So here is n nice, knOtty little
railroad problem. To abandon or
not to abandon. Perhaps the
Jovian intellects at Washington
can solve it to the satisfaction of
both sides. But If you are an
ordinary citizen and want to keep
from growing old try operating an
Improbable branch line railroad
in these highly regulated days.

ENDLESS CHAIN
SELLING SCHEMES

Sale of gasoline or oil coupons
under an endless chain selling
scheme" is within the control Of
the State Securities Commission,
holds Attorney General Gilliom.
So another glittering plan to sepa-
rate Hoosiers from their money
strikes a snag.
The free gas and oil coupon
plan which has appeared in In
diana Is simple.
The concern promoting it offers
to give an individual a coupon
book good for 80 worth of gas and
oil for payment of 81 in cash.
All the purchaser has to do is to
sell three of the dollar certificates
to three other persons, each OF
whom must sell three certificates
to three friends. Then the orig
inal 81 investor gets his 50 book
free.
Very simple and easy. Who
hasn't three friends to whom they
can sell coupons?
But it's not so easy. The con-
Germ promoting the scheme isn't
giving anything away.
If none of coupon purchasers fen
by the wayside, starting with a
single customer. at the fifteenth
link Of the endless chain coupon
purchaser would have paid $21,-
523,329 to the company and would
be entitled to gas and oil to the
value of $7,174,449. There would
be over 100000 purchasers OF
coupons. And Indina only has a
population of 3,000,00
If you want free gas and oil
don't seek 1t by trying to beat a
geometrical progression game. You
might better shoot craps or drill
your own oil well. Occasionally
Lady Luck permits you to win at
those games.
