In Dallas the city editor of a neWAspaper said to me: "Huey couldn't carry 10 per cent of the neople of Texas. Roosevelt is still strong as mustard. When Huey was talking some of invading tnis state a group of men came into the office and wanted to Know what would happen if they rotten- egged Huey. That tells their sen timent% N
 From a wise and disinterested observer of the south got this general summary: Long can carry at least sour southern states. He can defeat Joe Robinson It he goes after him. He has even the opposition in New Orleans crushed He probably will not run in 1886. He will try to capture as many state delegations as possible and make lot of noise at the democratic convention, but he'll not actually launch his third party next year. He'll wait until 1940, and then if he gets in we'll get real taste of a fascist dic- tatorship."
 Then this same student of men and government went on:
 .'Throughout the South there is steadily increasing breakdown ip county governments. So few tax es have been collected that county officials no longer get their sal- aries. They have turned to the
 money bags of the great relief agencies to give them jobs. power and dollars. In Arkansas alone there Is shortage of more than $500, 900 in county funds which are really embezzlements.
 Relief here in the south has been filled with politics and graft. In one mountain district in Tennessee the woman head of the county re- lief was found $14,000 short in her accounts. A man was put in her place, but the coal company which dominated the district brought so
 much pressure to bear that they
 had the woman brought back. The first thing she did was to announce that If there was coal strike no striking miner would get drop of relief. At least she was grateful.

 I mentioned Roosevelt. He shook his head. "He ain't near as popular here as he was six months ago. Say, we got some
 men here who been on relief fer two years. They ain't done a lick of work and they'd laugh in yer face if you offered them a jjob.
 Why, small farmers here can't get their crops in cause they can't get men to help 'em."

TWO CARS DAMAGED
 SLIGHTLY BY FIRE

Damage of little consequence was caused in two fires in automobiles yesterday and last night. Isadore Gutowitz of 31 Adams street was burning off paint from his car with a blow torch when the machine caught fire. Fire apparatus re- sponded and extinguished the blaze. A truck owned by John Cronan of 60 Beecher avenue caught fire in a garage at 6S Alma street, where 1t is kept, and the seat and rear part of the cab were burned. The blaze started beneath the drivers seat. Apparatus from the East Main street company responded to the telephone alarm.

 Mrs. Mabel c. Benedict of 5 Sands street, widow of John Benedict, who was the son of Charles Benedict, forme CT mayor of Waterbury (1S59- 1S6O), visited Settlers Village yesterday afternoon and was delighted to find picture of her father-in-law gracing the wall of the Lean-to house.
 Representatives of three more states s'registered" at the settlement today bringing the total number of states repre- scntcd thus far to 23. They were from Kansas, South Dakota and Indiana. Visitors have also arrived from the District of Columbia and from five foreign countries-Japan, Scotland, Canada, England and Cuba. Eleven of the orig inal thirteen states have been represented. They are: Con. necticut, Georgia, Maryland, Massachusetts, New York, New Jersey, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, South Caro- lima, Virginia and Rhode Island. Delaware and New Hampshire are the only two states of the original thirteen uheard from.
 Work on the French cot tage will be completed late to- day in plenty of time for the dedication Sunday afternoon. Armand Blanchard, Settlers Village incorporator and chair man of the French committee, will supervise the installation of furnishings and decorations which will start arriving to- morrow morning. Visitors are assured of a splendid exhibit in the French cottage. The cottage itself is exceedingly attractive.
 Rev. Peter Dzubay. incor- pOrator representing the Rus. sian.Americans, viewed the work on the Russian cottage yesterday afternoon and seem-, ed perfectly satisfied with the progress made thus far. The Russian cottage is constructed entirely of logs. No date has as yet been set for the dedica. tiOn of this particular exhibit.
 Carpenters began placing the rafters for the roof of the German house today. The architecture of this cottage is sure to invite interest. The pitch of the roof is extreme and very much unlike that of present day roofs here. The German cottage will be dedi- cated Aug. 18th. The event will be celebrated with an all- day picnic.
 Attendance at the local ex- position is steadily increasing. Settlers Village is actually becoming a mecca for tourists.

Bathroom Tissue Being
Used,

Few Indianapolis residents realize
that an indianapolis manufacturer is
one of the largest sources of bath
room tissue for use at Army posts,
flying fields, arsenals, forts, bar
racks and hospitals maintained by
the United States Army.
Yet scarcely a week goes by that

do not ship their product on an
Army order to some remote part of
the country, the shipments for this
purpose being made to all parts of
the United States, except west OF
the Rockies.
The Federal Government, and
especially the Army, are careful
buyers, following stringent quality
specifications set by the Bureau of
Standards.
The fact that they are willing to
purchase the product of the White
River Paper Mills for use in the
hospitals and rehabilitation work of
the Army is taken by the makers of
Sealskin tissue to be an Endorsement
of the product.
Sealskin bathroom tissue is on sale
at retail stores throughout the

BURFORD FIRM
PREPARES FOR
BUSINESS CAIN
Offset Department Added by
Long Established Print
ing Company.

The William B. Burford Printing
Company, 40 S. Meridian-st, en-
joyed unusual success during 1894
and its officials predict decided
increase in the printing business for
the coming year and are prepared
to meet it.
For many years the Burford COM
pany has operated in Indianapolis,
having one Of the largest and most
complete plants in the state. 1t has
kept abreast of the printing indus
try and offers the most modern
methods.
In the past year the Burford
company has made several improve
ments, one of them being the in
stallation of new Offset equipment,
so that it now has a most efficient
Offset plant in addition to the al
ready we'll equipped printing plant.
Another new department is the
art and planning department. This
department makes it possible for
clients to obtain a service carrying
their direct mail advertising from
the inception through to the mail
bag. Thus the entire responsibility
is placed under one roof.
There is no service in the print
ing line which the Burford company
does not offer. The work ranges
from the smallest job and form
work to private editions, including
a number of regular publications.

trived with all the skill and inge-
nuity that modern building science
can command, President Roosevelt
new Offices may well serve as a
pattern of thrift and clevereness to
property owners who are modern
izing their holdings.
According to Lorenzo S. Wins
low, architect, no effort was spared
to make the offices approach per-
lection as closely as possible. Thirty
times the architectural drawings
were made. The President, who
has a very fine appreciation of ar
chitecture and much knowledge of
it, worked with Mr.. Winslow, and
even made sketches of his idea of
the proposed Office layout.
1t was imperative that the floor
space be more than doubled, yet it
was equally important that the gen.
eral style of architecture remain
unaltered. The solution of the
problem was, first, to add a pent-
house on the roof, set back from the
west and north sides in such FASH
ion that it did not apparently add
to the height of the structure.
A second source of additional
space turned out to be a strip of
land on the east side of the office
building. For forty feet the build
ing was extended, with architecture
in keeping with the original struc-
ture. Still other office space was
obtained by additional excavation in
the basement. This Subf1oor ex-
tends under the sod of the south
gardens. but the west windows look

and center windows open on to the
fountain court.
In this clever and adroit fashion,
Mr.. Winslow increased the flooring
space of the executive offices from
1900 square feet to 10000.
The new offices combine impress
sive simplicity and charm with the
last word in modern efficiency
The completed renovation is a
skilled and dexterous blending of
the old and the new.
The offices are aforementioned,
ire-proofed and -proofed
They have floors that minimize the
vibration of the buildings ma
chinery, ultra modern lighting fix
lures that give the right number
of foot candles of illumination and
walls and woodwork painted in a
soft grey-green tint that rests the
eyes and yet makes the most of all
artificial and natural light.
