ALL GAINER3 FROM INTERURBAN
fe An article in the Courier last even
••u 'ing
quoted Arthur W. Brady,
president
V^1 of the Indiana Traction company, with
the statement that an average of five
million people a year had been hauled
into Indianapolis and out of Indianap
olis en route to towns and cities sur
rounding, by the interurban roads.
"Question any high class merchant or
other business man as to the reason,
be said in speaking of the wonderful
growth and improvement in Indianap
•oliB, "and be will say that it is prin
cipally due to the interurban lines."
"Residents of out counties," Mr.
f'i'Brady went on to say, "who formerly
'-came to Indianapolis but once or
twice a year are now to be seen week

But this trade was not drawn to In
dianapolis at the expense of the small
er towns touched by the interurban.
'President Brady was not guessing
about
this
matter. He was guided by
his experience in operating lines that
went through scores of small towns
and cities when he declared that
'•"these results follow with no detri
ment, but, on the contrary, actual ben
efit to other cities and towns of the
.state. The country merchant cannot be

take some travel away bring other
travel in. The increased means of in
tercommunication helps all concern

The' interurbans now extend into
& flftv-two of the ninety-two counties of
I Indiana and interurban building is
still being pushed in that state. The
kfitties, the towns and the country com-
either through increased business, in
creased shipping facilities or increas
ed property values.
ENTHUSIASM!
Mr. Sheldon during his talk at the
Commercial Association banquet re
cently made a statement that every
one is a salesman—that we all have
something to sell.
In the final analysis of business or
.profession, that is true. We all sell
something, service, goods, ability, ad
Jvice, manual labor, are all bought and
sold.
S, If that is the way the matter is to
be put, then the next thing to con
sider is, how are we performing the
job?
Are you, yourself, selling to the best
1"t advantage what you are dealing in?
"f' If you have something to sell, then
you must get enthusiastic about it and
sell it, and you ought to try and sell
'it better than anyone else is selling it
and to do that you have got to get at
It in an enthusiastic manner.
Do it!
Do it right!
Do it right, right now!

WANTS AMERICAN MERCHANT
MEN.
Lewis Nixon, the well known Amer
ican shipbuilder, is one of the leaders
in the movement to educate the coun
try to the need of a merchant marine.
At a banquet in New York recently
Mr. Nixon held it to be the nation's
folly that an ocean-going service is not
built up. He said:
"Our great country fronts on the
ocean, and our navy must be kept up
and made worthy of the country. It
was Samuel J. Tilden who made the
upbuilding of the navy the object of
two great parties, regardless of poli
tics. When he wrote his famous let
ter to Samuel J. Randall urging him
to work for the navy, we could not
make even a decent forging or a pro
peller crank. Today we are second
to no country in the world. We can
make everything, the finest ships, the
finest guns, and turn out the finest
men to handle them. In the beginning
Europe scoffed And said that we
couldn't build ships, and if we did,
they wouldn't stand up. Now that we
have a great navy, let us give all the
money that is needed for it.' We pay
$300,000,000 a year to foreign ships for
carrying our merchandise, products
and passengers. It does not seem pos
sible that we have so little patriotism
that we do not build up a merchant
marine to develop our commerce and
support our navy. We need the sup
port of men who prefer their country
and its prosperity to the prosperity of
Europe. We need statesmen who
All 'garbage, manure, cesspools,
open drains and other unsanitary con
ditions existing about the house or
barn will produce an incredible num
ber of flies as in decaying matter of
all kinds the fly breeds. The first
measure to be carrried out therefore,
is to remove all kinds of garbage and
manure and to close all open drains
which may lead from cesspools or out
closets. The next measure of protec
tion is to screen the house and to dili
gently exclude-from the kitchen the
dining room and living apartments
these little pests. We have become so
accustomed to the fly that while we
look upon it as an unmitigated nui
sance. yet tolerate its familiarity and
for this reason many a tragic story
has been written full of the most
heart-breaking sorrow.
Flies are great germ carriers. Their
feet are so constructed that they are
little cups. This enables them to walk
on ceilings. These vacuumed feet be
come splendid agents in the transmis
sion of germs of typhoid fever and tu
berculosis. Recent investigations made
by the Merchants' association of New
York reveal the fly as being responsi
ble for a vast amount of contagious
sickness.
It is urged that the people shall
with one accord protect themselves
against germs of disease which may
readily be carried into the home by
the fly. The food supply should be
thoroughly protected against flies a
rigid rule should be established in ev
ery home which should be enforced in
every instance, and no fly should be
permitted to crawl over the food
which is to be set on the table for
human consumption. Milk should be
especially particularly cared for. It
should not only be protected from the
fly, but from dirt as well. Many a lit
tle babe will be killed this year in
Iowa by carelessness. Flies will carry
germs of various diseases to the nip
ples on the bottles of artificially fed
infants, and bacteria will be introduc
ed into the child's body. Milk from
diseased cows suffering with tubercu
losis, milk which has been produced
under unsanitary conditions in the
barn or yard, will be given to these
infants whose lives will be terminated
by various disorders, commonly called
summer complaint, occasionally tuber
culosis of the bowels.
Two important things are here con
sidered. One is to so far as possible
prevent the breeding of flies by re
moving garbage and waste and pour
ing kerosene oil on stagnant pools.
The other is to protect the food supply
against insects of all kinds, particular
ly the fly, and see to it that little
children are given wholesome food,
free from disease germs or dirt.
The
house fly has been tolerated
for years as a necessary evil, but if the
campaign of extermination is carried
on as vigorously by the housekeepers
as it haB been by the health bureaus,
the winged pest would soon cease to

lieve in America and the men who
stand for America. Let all of us,
patriots and Americans, resolve our
selves into an Old Guard and build up
a merchant marine as we have our
navy."
The Courier is absolutely in favor of
the adoption of some .legitimate busi
ness plan that will place in this coun
try the ownership and management of
ocean steamships. However, one of
the greatest difficulties in the way of
granting a subsidy, is the fear thr.t
such subsidy will get in control of in
terests in this country that are amply
able to build and operate a line o£
ships, without help or aid from any
source but their own treasuries. That
is one of the main obstacles now in
the way of building a United States
merchant marine.
MORE ABOUT FLIES.
Even at the risk of being accused
of harping too much on the house fly
peril, the Courier publishes the fol
lowing suggestions for summer, sent
out by the department of tuberculosis
of the state board of control:
In the combat against tuberculosis
it is necessary to take into account
every factor which may in any way,
directly or indirectly, spread the dis
ease. As summer draws near It will
bring as usual its swarms of flies and
other insect life, and there is no
greater nuisance than the house flies
which infest the homes of our people.
However, if proper sanitation was ob
served about the premises which peo
ple call their homes, the common
house fly would be much less preva
lent than it is.

be such a dangerous factor as a dis
ease bearer.
Judging from the press reports rela
tive to tornadoes in Texas and Okla
homa, it seems easier to draw people
to those state with promises of cheap
lands than it is to hold them after
they arrive. They ought to throw in an
anchor with every farm so that when
the wind picks up the tenant he can
cast anchor and take his farm with
him.

motive. What on earth could any band

Washington, D. C., June 12.—Last
bulletin gave forecasts of disturbance
to cross continent 13 to 17, warm
wave 12 to 16, cool wave 15 to 19.
This was expected to bring unusually
high temperatures and dangerous
storms. Better watch for threatening
conditions June 16, 17, 18. Very few
places will be disturbed by these
severe storms but all can afford to be
on the outlook in order that the few
may be prepared. The hot wave will
take a southern route, crossing the
Mississippi about 15, while the cool
wave will cover northern states and
Canada, crossing meridian 90 about
June 19.
Next disturbance will reach Pacific
coast about 18, cross Pacific slope by
close of 19, great central valleys 20 to
22, eastern states 23. Warm wave
will cross Paciflc slope about 18, great
central valleys 20, eastern states 22.
Cool wave will cross Paciflc slope
about 21, great central valleys 23,
eastern states 25.
During this storm period temper
atures will average about normal, un
usually cool preceding the storm cen
ter, not very warm accompanying it,
nor very cool following 'it. Pacific
coast will get very severe weather not
far from June 18. Temperatures will
average above normal June 21 to
July 1 inclusive, and this will be good
corn weather where there is sufficient
moisture.
Indications are that heavy rains will
fall, 14 to 21, in the cotton states near
and east of the lower Mississippi
river and drouth will prevail else
where. Not a good corn month bet
ter for northwestern spring wheat.

DOG WHICH HELPED HIS FRIEND.
London Telegraph—Thomas Jones,
who owns a big ranch on San Juan
island, lost a collie dog last, fall for
nearly a: month and for several days
searched the woods about his place
zealously for the animal without suc
cess. One day he tossed a bone to an
other collie. Instead of gnawing it he
picked it up and started for the woods.
He kept turning his head, apparently
to see if he was followed and Jones
concluded to follow him. The dog
trotted along for about a mile and
stopped at the edge of an abandoned
well. He dropped the bone over the
edge of the well. Jones got a ladder,
climbed down, and found the dog that
had been lost. There was pnly about
two inches of water in the well, but
the animal would have starved to
death had it not been for the other.
The lost dog was in good condition,
and as it had been missing twenty
four days the other animal must have
kept it supplied with food for nearly
a month.
HOW EAST INDIANS GAMBLE.
London Tit-Bits—Most of us are
familiar with the old joke which as
serts that the best way to find the
winner of a horse race is to cut out a
list of the runners, get a. pin, shut
one's eyes, stab at the names, and put
your money on the horse whose name
is first pricked.
The native of India has an equally
amusing method. He wagers his
money according to the colors worn by
the jockeys and takes no heed of the
merits of the horses or he will back
a horse ridden by his favorite jockey,
not matter whether the animal is a
rank outsider or not.
His ideas of gambling, in fact are
distinctly novel. Some of the more
wealthy Indians form rings and back
every horse in the race, thus gaining
the satisfaction of getting a winner
every time. It is really only of late
years that the native of India has be
come a habitual gambler on the turf,
and nowadays the bulk of the betting
at "the various racing centers in India
is done by natives. Indeed, the author
ities are becoming somewhat con
cerned about the growth of the betting
which takes place among Indian na
tives, it being asserted that as many
as thirty lacks of rupees (about $1,500,
000) 1b lost and won in the course of a
season.
The ignorant masses have not a
great deal of actual money to wager,
but so bndly bitten are many of thonfi
with the craze for betting at race
meetings that they will frequently
wager what little property they pos
sess on a horse, and if they lose they
simply replace their
Iosb
by stealing
a neighbor's goods. The consequence
is that when the racing season comes
around the police are kept busy deal
ing with cases of petit larceny and
other crimes involving loss of prop
erty.
WALES A RIVAL OF KENTUCKY.

that he found at this or that Welsh
inn, but the whisky of that country
probably did not tempt him, or there
was none worth his while. Mr. Lloyd
George is not the only champion of
this Welsh brand, for another extolled
it thus: "Welsh whisky is the most
wonderful whisky that ever drove the
slcelton from the feast or painted land
scapes in the brain of man. It is the
mingled souls of peat and barley,
washed white with the waters of
Treweryn. In it you will find the
sunshine and shadow that chased eacn
other over the billowy fields, the
breath of June, the carol of the lark,
the dew of night, the wealth of sum
mer, and autumn's rich content, all
golden with imprisoned light."

BETTER CROP
THIN 1H1908
WESTERN GRAIN DEALERS' AS
SOCIATION SHOWS CORN AND
OATS FINE.
Ninety-two "per cent of the corn
planting was completed June 1.
General stand and growing con
dition compared with last year,
based at 100 per cent, is as fol
lows: Oats, 95 per cent corn,
103 per cent.
The general stand and growing con
dition of Iowa's corn ijpr the present
season averages from 1 to 5 per cent
better than it did a year ago. This is
the estimate placed upon it by George
A. Wells, secretary of the Western
Grain Dealers' association in a state
ment he sent out today to all Iowa
farmers. "And it will continue to lead
last year's crop if we do not have too
heavy rains from now on," he says.
"The weather of the past week has
done some damage, as practically all
of the corn was out of the groupd by
June 1, and it has become wee.dy and
water soaked, thus retarding it about
ten days."
He says that the corn in the north
ern and southern parts of the state is
in the best condition, ranging 4 per
cent better than it was during the fore
part of June of last season. The crop
through the central section has not
suffered to any great extern, up to the
present time, and averages just about
the same as former years.
"The oat crop does not compare as
well with former years," says Mr.
Wells, "from general stand and grow
ing condition." He estimates that Its
decrease has been about 7 per cent.
Regarding the condition of the corn
and oat crops in the various districts
throughout the state the following
figures are given:
Western district, northern section—
General stand and growing condition
Compared with last year, based at 100,
is as follows: Oats, 96 per cent corn

is as follows: Oats, 94 per cent corn
