WILL CELEBRATE
Riley's birtfr^ay, 'Friday, October
7th will be extensively celebrated
throughout Indiana. Special programs will be given in practically
all of the public schools of the state
At Indianapolis four special celebra
tions will be held during the day, in
eluding a tree planting on the ground
to be used by the James Whitcomt
Riley Hospital for Children at eleven o'clock Friday morning, at which
Governor McCray has been asked to
speak and plant the first tree.
The celebration of Riley's birthday
has grown extensively each year
since his death. It_is of special significance this year because of a state
wide campaign to be begun on Riley's
birthday tp raise funds for the James
Whitcomb Riley Hospital for Children. This campaign will be conducted largely in the public schools, and
It has been officially endorsed by the
State Board of Education. The campaign will ' be tVconducted in the

brought to a close w'.th final contributions for the Hospital building.
* The Children's Hospital will be
built under authority of a law passed at the last session of the Indiana
Legislature, and will be free to all
children of Indiana who need hospital
attention. It is said that 10,000 children in Indiana need hospital attention, and the Riley Memorial Association has undertaken to build a free
Hospital for Children as a most fitt-
in gmemorial for the Hoosier poet.
Oil   Company   and   Merchant   Prince,/
Predict Pienty of Work for Country Within a Short Time
-BOB
New York, September 28.—The
speedy return of prosperity with
plenty of work for .all was. predicted
today by two notable,figures in industrial and mercantile circles, Charles
E. Bedford, president of the Vacuum
Oil Company, and John Wanamaker,
merchant of New York and Philadelphia.
"Business revival week," said Mr.
Wanamaker, "I think will be expanded into a business revival of years
and years. I have more faith in
America today and more expectation
for the future than at any time in
my sixty years as a merchant.
"There will be plenty of work for
all if we show our faith, not by relaxing our efforts, holding' back in
fear, putting on blue glasses and
keeping our money in our pockets,
but by making needed improvements,
starting to build and rebuild, buying
and selling—putting to work our energies, our brains, our money, everything we have—to the good of the
country.
Thirty-five members of the Woman's Bible Class, .of the Friends

was one of the most enjoyable% features of the day. The afternoon was
spent in needle work, informal social
pleasures and attending to the business affairs of the class.
All went home that evening with
one regret, that so.-many f our members were absent and missed such a
delightful day.

Real Estate Sales Good in September
A number of farm sales have been
made during the past month in the
county by the different agencies, as
reported by, Fred Jessup, he having
the lead in sales, so far. He states;
that he is going to try and keep ahead
of the other fellows, and has now
equipped an office over the Strattan
garage, in Carmel, so he can get
down to business.
Two sales were reported made by
him in the past few days; one of 44
acres at $253.00 for *Mrs. William
Lindley, of Sheridan, and 80 acres at
$192.50 for O. O. Day, of Carmel.
Fred thinks the larger farms will begin to turn from now on until March
first next and says he is getting a
number of inquiries for fsarms of 40
acres and up to 160 acres. And the
season ahead looks good for him.
For sometime we have been noting the indications of Carmel's progress toward prosperity and also quoting the thoughts of others as to -future growth
dfcrs   and  inquiries   becoming   more
numerous.
Farmers are marketing their crops
as they are harvested, and there is a
decidedly better feeling in the rural
districts in comparison with the fall
of 1920.
At the present time the feeling is
general that the market improvement
in business is substantial and sound
in every respect, the review says,
and that the period of depression
gradually drawing into the background will remain there for a long
time.
However, the presentment that further readjustments are necessary still
continues to show up in .spots. It 'Is
"to the effect that business, still hampered by price inequalities and wage
scales which have not yet been completely adjusted, can/ not continue the
present pace and that the winter
months will bring a slight reaction.
The report says that the iron and
steel industry shows improvement
with a further gradual improvement
indicated, the August output of pig
iron showing the first monthly gain
in ten months.
RALLY WEEK
Last week was denoted by, the M.
E. church as Rally Week for the
church. Much interest was manifested throughout the week.
The Sunday school had an attendance of 164.
During the evening a religious play
was given, "The Coming of Truth,"
Many characters were taken by the
church members well and their interpretation was interesting. The cast
was large. The roll of Truth was
played by Miss May Daubenspeck in
a very pleasing manner. A large audience was present and the play made
a lasting impression on many. We
are glad to chronicle a successful
week.
Card of Thanks
We desire to thank our neighbors
and friends, who in any way assisted
us  during  the  illness  and  death  of
our dear wife and mother.

Mr. Beveridge comes as a guest of
the Legion members and it is
through his friendship to this organization, that"" we are able to bring a
man of so high a caliber, and .so
greatly in demand, to Carmel. The
music of tbat evening will be patriotic in nature and is to be furnished
by the Carmel high school orchestra.
Owing to the fact that every number this season is of tbe highest standard, the expenses of this courco far
exceed any heretofore given and the
management have placed ths price
of season tickets to all, at two dollars. Reserved seats for the full season fifty Cents extra.
Carmel musical patrons have
grown so critical that none but the
best is appreciated by them. Like
everything else, the best comes high,
but is far the cheapest and more patronized in the long run.
Next week's issue of the Standard
will contain a picture and description of each number, the plan of ticket sale and comments of the course.
