Cheap Text Books At Last In Indiana Schools
Indiana moves to break the school book ring with the abolition of ring texts and the awarding of a new contract to the Indiana School Book Co. Prices drop to about half the ring rate, with five readers and two geographies set for fall use. The change is hailed as a victory for taxpayers and public schools over a long monopoly, while critics warn of continued political battles.

Local Notes and Community Happenings
A man with two beer kegs remained in the school-house yard last Saturday night, entertaining the neighborhood with no arrests yet. A buckskin dressed man attracted local boys, a zip steam fan was added to Mann's saw-mill for hot weather, a gay party picnicked at Winkler's ferry, Hamilton band received new high-grade music, and bids exceeded twenty three thousand for a new poorhouse. The Fretageot building roof gets a fresh coat of paint. The fire engine is at Echard's shop this week. The river rose over the sand-bars again.
