Has Building Con-
tract at Logansport.
N. 0. Thomas has closed a deal
by which he has the contract for
the erecting of a brick building
for the Bank of Logansport.
The work will be done right
away. The order for the mater-
ial has already been placed and
as soon as it arrives and the
weather permits, Mr. Thomas definitely decided, it is practical-
will begin the execution of the
work. The new building will be
up-to-date in every respect.

interest being available each
year. The lands that have not
been sold, are leased to the cattle
barons of the west; the proceeds
from these leases are available

this available fund, but believe
were it economically managed,
it would maintain the State Uni-

‘ ‘Teachers of our rural schools
labor six hours each day in the
school room, while the college
professor has three periods of
one hour, each day. Our rural
teachers have from 40 to 80 pu-
pils, while the college professor
has a class of less than half this
number. Our last legislature ap-
of this to be available for the
years 1914 and 1915, and the bal-
ance 1915 and 1916. There be-
ing more than one million pupils
within the scholastic age in the
state, this sum would have given
to each pupil about 45 cents each
year; but, before this became a
law, the legislature arranged it
so that only a certain class of
schools could get the benefit of
this appropriation. To .ascertain

To the Voters of Beat No. 2.
As I was born and reared in
this part of Shelby county, and
naturally feel an interest in the
welfare of the county as a whole,

feeling that I have the qualifica-

serve them in such a way that
they will not regret my selection,
and having had a number of
solicitations to run for this im-
portant office, I hereby offer my-
self as a candidate for commis-
sioner of Beat No. 2, subject to
the action of the Democratic pri-
mary. Allen Sample.

make it to your advantage.
