Buns Must Battle
But there are strings on the board
of safety's apparent kindness to the
city's overnight wayfarers.
They must take a bath before they
will be permitted to partake of this
hospitality.
Hotel De Gink, located over the
city automobile repair shop, is clean,
and the police department intends
to keep it that way.
Not only that, but before the
nightly quota of buns may gain &C.
cess to the big dormitory each must
show a ticket as evidence that he
has had the required bath and that
he has been down to Ray Birds Res.
cue Mission for the good of his soul
Therefore the renovation and the
new policy of the management of
Hotel De Gink may introduce some
influence for good in the lives of the
wanderers who partake Of it's shelter.
At least they will be clean, and that's
something.
Under the old state of affairs the
municipal shelter house was place
that even police reporters hesitated
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1926-11-19

About the only thing the place lacks
is hot running water.
Between twenty and sixty buns
take advantage of the municipal
shelter house each night during the
winter. The number is governed
principally by the weather.
At least that was the average last
winter, but the figures may be
changed somewhat this year because
Of the bathing ard religious service
restrictions that the city has i'm
posed.
Anyway, Hotel De Gink is a pal
ace now, and it's going to be kept
that way.
The Splace won't be opened for
business until Monday night, but
then the buns will have full sway.
They cannot enter the place before
9 p. m. and they must leave it by s
a. m. Everything's free, so it's the
old story of first come first served.
Now it's up to the buns to make
the place a success.

Tunes Played on
Steamboat Whistle

BU Times Special
EVANSVILLE, Ind, Nov. "
Some folk just have natural bent
for music, riverman say, and Gene
Lunn, pilot on the Steamer Evans
vile, is one Of theW.
It's Gene pulling the whistle cord
that sends shrill notes of "My Old
Kentucky Home" and other old-time
melodies reverberating over the city
every Sunday night.
Gene has a wildcat whistle on the
Evansville. The high soprano and
low bass notes are produced by pull
ing the whistle cord easy or hard as
the melody demands.
The boat makes a trip up GreeR
River every week. When folk away
back in their cabin homes hear the
wildcat-like cries echoing over their
hills Gene says they rise up in bed
and listen with more real enjoy
ment than any highbrow gets out of
an opera.
"Those folk up there know what
real music is" Gene explains.

to enter on inspection trips or for
anything else.
But now-ah! All that is changed.
Not Even Dusty
The big room literally glistens with
it's white-washed walls and ceilings.
The floor is spotlessly clean. Not
even the most meticulous housewife
would be able to find cause for COM
plant. Honest. folks, the window
stills aren't even dusty.
And Leo Berner, head Of the mu-
nicipal service department, under
whose supervision the change has
been brought about, says that the
place is going to be- kept in that
condition.
1t will, because the buns won't be
permitted to leave in the morning
after their nights flop until the big
room is thoroughly cleaned to the
satisfaction of a police officer, who
will inspect the place when the
dodgers are turned out at a. m.
The gray painted steel cots with
extremely resilient springs. are rang
ed around the room in orderly fash
ion. Each cot will accommodate two
men. In addition, several ham,
mocks are swung.
There is no bedding, but unless
you've slept on a bare floor you can't
imagine the comfort that can be
gained from nice spring coils of
wire that sag agreeably. Therefore,
the buns will think they've landed
in a regular place.
Over at the west end Of the room,
separated from the rest Of the flop
quarters by heavy wire netting, is a
huge stove. The knights fire this
themselves.
Eight Hours Sleep
In a corner is a lavatory that glis-
tens white for the first time in years.

Hunters Care Little
for Gnu's Ferocity

The gnu, with the head Of horse,
the long, narrow face, the body Of a
horse, an antelope's legs, an upstand-
ing name and a flowing tail that
reaches to the ground. is indeed a fan
tastic creature, writes Lillian Gish,
F. z. S.
His terrible voice, his pOse-every-
thing about him suggests tierceness.
But though savage in captivity he is
extremely nervous, with a great regard
for his own safety.
A herd of these gnus on the veldt is
an alarming sight. Prancing and
wheeling, and tossing their heads, they
approach a strange object in single file,
forming themselves into a solid square
as they come near.
In this position they will stand for
hours, glaring at a tent set up on the
plains, as though ready to tear it to
pieces.
But this is a game of bluff. Let the
owner Of the tent show himself with a
gun, and though they may gambOl wild
ly around him, uttering loud snOrts, it
will be in overwhelming circles.
The first shot sends them flying, and
so great is their speed that they van

Interest IN Movement to Aid All
the Farmers Who Will Apply
Another year of expansion for the
Eastern States Farmers Exchange /
was reviewed at the annual meeting
at Springfield, Mass, February %.
Farmers from all of the New England
States, Delaware, Pennsylvania and
Maryland attended the all day session
and the banquet in the evening. More
than 300 farmers and their wives
were on hand. John D. Reynolds of
the MiddletOwn-Smyrna District, was
reelected a director of the associa-
tion. Announcement was made Of the
declaration by the directors Of a pa
tronage dividend of p of 70, the
first in the 8 years of the Exchanges
existence. The bylaws require that
twO-thirds of the reserve accumulated
each year after a surplus of 100000
is established be distributed to the
patrons. Out of the $70,765 accumu-
lated in 1925, $24,418 went to COM
plete the 100000 reserve fund, and
twO-thirds of the balance, or S30,898,
will go back to the members during
the course of the next few weeks in
the form Of patronage dividends.
The following have been elected as
directors from the State of Delaware
and Maryland to serve for 1926: r.
H. Wilson, Dover; H. S. Miliken,
Porter; Asa Reynolds, Georgetown;
John D. Reynolds, Middletown; E. l..
Fooks, Preston, Md.
John D. link, general manager,
showed that the exchange had served
more than 10000 members during
1925, living in eight states and taking
delivery at 657 different shipping sta
tions-598 carload stations, and the
balance stations to which less than
carload fertilizer and feed orders
were sent last spring. The total bus
mess done in 1925 amounted to S5,-
979,965, compared with S5,526,554 in

cost of 2.883t.
By its purchase of the milling prop
erty in Buffalo, N. Y, in April, 1925,
the Eastern States Farmers Ex-
change came into direct control of its
buying and mixing activities. This
farmer control of a mill with the an
nual capacity of over 100000 tons has
attracted the attention of farmer
groups in Maryland and Pennsylvania
Representatives of these groups have

New Dover Opera House. Dover

Tuesday and Wednesday-A radical
change of thought, and a remarkable
shift of ''the point of view" was Gre
ated three years ago by Claiming
Pollock, the author of ''The Fool"
At the very start he made clergymen
his champions and much of the amaz-
ing success of the play was due to ap-
peals from many pulpits. Thirty
years ago the church and the stage
were further apart than the poles.
Ministers deemed it their duty to re
fer to theatres as the Devils play
house" Pollock changed that, and
William Fox is now changing it fur
ther. When he and Mr.. Pollock pre-
pared to make "The Fool" universal
by transferring it to the screen,
clergymen sent letters to the produc-
er, and secretaries of clubs associated
with five exclusive churches wrote to
say that it would be a pleasure to CO.
operate. That they meant it is mani
tested in the completed picture, fol
in the elaborate church scene where
Gilchrist denounces the rich, nearly
two hundred wealthy men and women
volunteers from two of New York;
great churches are to be seen in the
pictured congregation of more thar
500 persons. One minister urged his
followers to recommend the play t.
their friends. He must have realized
how seemingly inconsistent it seemed
to some, for he smilingly said: 81 rea
lie what some of you are thinking
my answer is, that the church vel
comes an ally that is willing to fgh
for right, even though in the guis
of what was at one time regarded a
hostile force.
