trade a bricklayer, but by pro-
gressive methods has expanded
his operations to include kindred
work in concrete and cement. His
experience will be of value to the
city in it's rapid extension of
streets and sidewalks.
Assessors.
Reuben E. Adams is a candi-
date on the Republican ticket to
succeed himself as assessor for
the First Ward.
George NJ. Bates is a candidate
to succeed himself as assessor
for the Second Ward.
In these days of rapidly rising
values of real estate, causing in
creases in assessments, a prop
erty owner has full opportunity
to make the acquaintance of the
assessor in his ward. 1t becomes
necessary to have men Of judg-
ment and fairness for assessors
and whose opinion is respected.
Mr.. Adams in the First Ward
and Mr.. Bates in the Second
Ward enjoy the confidence of the
people. They are candidates for
reelection and will be well re
ceived.
Tax Collector.
Webster Price, the present tax
collector, is a candidate for re-
election on the Republican ticket.
Mr.. Price is well and favorably
known to all the people of the
city. His Office is one of the bus
lest in the land, but he manages
it with great care and attention
to detail and with general salts
faction.
City Clerk.
When one thinks. of the admin
~istration of the City of Pleasant
vile, one thinks at the same in
slant of Moe" Andrews, the city
clerk, SO closely is he identified
with it's affairs. While he is af-
fectionately called Moe" he
signs his name Nehemiah r.
Andrews" and he is a whole
team of horses for work. No one
would entertain any other name
than his for the Office of city
clerk and therefore he is the can
didate.
Justices Of the Peace.
The candidates for justice of
the peace from the First Ward
are William B. Stephens, William
Foster and Earl Mattinger.
The candidates for justices
the Second Ward are Will
liam D. Vanaman and William T.
Gilbert.

inning game, by the close score
lis. Andrews, Temple H. SIS
star pitcher, was driven to cover
in the second inning, after eight
runs and nine hits had been scor-
ed off of his delivery. Kerns, who
succeeded Andrews, pitched shut
out ball for five innings. Miller
also was hit hard and Roser re-
lieved him in the seventh. Thomp-
son and Little both played flashy
baseball at shortstop. Thomp-
sons triple to the corr board in
the first inning, with two runners
on the path, was the longest hit
of the game. Roser and Mum,
with three hits apiece, were the
leading sticksmiths. Haywood

stretch a single into a double and
pegging out another runner who
strayed too far off of first base
on a long fly ball hit to left field.
Temple H. S. played wide-awake
baseball and took advantage of

Councilman First Ward.
A councilman is to be chosen
from the First Ward. Edward T.
Stephenson is the present incum-
bent. His work in Office has been
of the highest grade. He has
entered into the administration
of city affairs with full energy
and his efforts have earned him
the Craftsmanship of important
committees, giving him the lead
ership on the floor. Mr.. Steph-
enson has not sought renomina-
ton, but as there are several i'm
portant contracts under way and
much city work with which he is

wise to urge him to again be a

few days ago with The Konjola
Man at Hooks drug store, Penn
sylvania and Market Sts., Indianapo-
lis, where crowds are calling daily
to find out about this celebrated new
medicine.
my case certainly was bad one,
and never thought three bottles of
any medicine would so completely
end all Of my suffering" continued
Mr.. Woodall.
II had rheumatism for seven
years, and 1t affected me mostly in
the knees and ankles. Pains would
shoot all through my legs, and they
ached all the time. Lots of times
would nearly fall over, and finally
the swelling got so bad I couldn't
lace my shoes and my limbs were
about twice the normal size. I just
had to creep to work, and our fore
man gave me a job where I didn't
have to stand up. But I kept get
ting worse, and finally gave up my
job. I was off six months and
couldn't get more than a block away
from home. I was in such torture I
couldn't walk for weeks at a time.
Besides the rheumatism I was suffer
ing also from kidney and bladder
trouble, and 1 had terrible bladder
irritation that added to my misery.
No one knows how 1 suffered those
mornings when I got up and went
to work.
1T would be hard for me to tell
you all the medical attention and
various remedies I tried, but yet,
continued to suffer and lost weight
and my whole system was shattered
I decided to try Konjola, and it's an
honest fact, just as 1 have said.
that three bottles Of this medicine
ended every ache and pain that I
had. All of the swelling, soreness
and misery is relieved so that I can
get around fine. And besides, the
kidney and bladder trouble Is i'm.
proved so I don't have to get UP
once during the night. and the
singing pains are gone. I get up
feeling good in the mornings, and
still feel good when evening comes.
You know that anyone who has
been relieved Of suffering like me
couldn't help but praise Konjola and
talk about it, for it is the only
medicine that helped me. and al
ways intend to recommend it."
The Konjola Man is at Hooks
drug store, Pennsylvania and Mar
ket Sts., Indianapolis, daily meet
ing the local public and introducing
and explaining the merits of this
remedy. Free samples given.

COOLIDGE TAKES
STAND AGAINST
COLLEGE R. 0. I. c.
Opposes Military Training
With Guns-Hearings on
Bill Concluded.
BIZ Times Special

BIZ Times Special
WASHINGTON, June 16.-Presi
dent Coolidges tacit opposition to
compulsory military training in
high schools and colleges has at
tracted renewed interest in a contro-
versy which has been argued pro
and con during the last few months,
growing from a revolt among some
college students against shoulder
ing arms and doing squads right
as part of their courses.
Coolidge took compulsory physical
training himself as a student OF
Amherst College, and believes in it.
But he does not believe that com
pulsory military training with fire
arms is either beneficial or neces-
sary, according to the view expressed
by his spokesman at the White
House Tuesday. He regards it as
conducive to a militaristic spirit,
whose growth he would deplore.
Hearings Held
Only a short while after the Presi-
dents position was stated, the House
hearings on bill to abolish COM
pulsory drill in schools and colleges,
and the acting chairman Of the COM
mittee, Representative James, Michi-
gan Republican, declared that the
measure was dead and embalmed'
already. He said he had found no
member of the committee who was
for 1t.
The hearing was devoted to four
hour grilling of John Nevin Sayre
of New York, who has led the fight
against compulsory training In
schools and colleges as chairman Of
the committee on militarism in edu-
cation.
Sayre Heckled
Among organizations which re-
Gently have taken a stand against
compulsory military training In
schools and colleges are the Federal
