PURELY PERSONAL
SHOP REDUCTION.
On account of the war in Europe
all American ports report no ship-
ping and on that account traffic
with the railroads is at a standstill.
Several roads have announced re-
ductions in all forces and The Index
understands the order will toe in ef-
fect on the Denver Road next week.
The reduction will be only for a
short tint© as prospects are bright
for early resumption of shipping
from American ports. Childress
county farmers need laborers now
to work in the fields and many of
the local shop force will perhaps ac-
cept farm work.
Misses Itubolu of Okland Call.,
were visitors in Childress Tues-
day. These young ladles' parents
resided here many years ago and
will be remembered by the oldest
citizens. They left Childress six-
teen years ago. Their father died
about six years ago in California.
They were on a recreation trip and
were being chaperoned by their oldest
sister, Emma, who is now married
and living at Oakland.
THE OLDEST VETERAN.
Dr. Nola Murphy will be in Chil-
dress, Aug. 17-18, in tlie Albert build-
ing. The Hardeman County Fair
making it inconsistent to fill her
regular date. Now is the time to
have your children's eyes examined
before school. ltcol.
Col. Wm. Buster of this city, was
the oldest veteran in attendance at
the reunion. Col. Buster will soon
be 93 years of age, and Thursday
morning he said: "1 am feeling forty
years younger this morning." Col.
Buster met the trains with the lo-
cal camp and in the march fcoui the
depot to the Jewllan hotel was com-
manding officer. He gave all com-
mands in a clear and distinct voice
and it was really surprising to see
a man his age be so active. Col.
Buster says he feels that he is
good for a number of years and The
Index trusts that his prophecy will
come true.
Glenn A. Smith was called to Ania-
rillo last week by the death of his
sister. Miss Smith was fourteen .years
old and her sickness was only of a
few days duration. The remains
were conveyed to Abilene for inter-
ment. The Index extends condol-
ence to the breaved family.
Herman Alexander has a piece of
ground in condition for the sowing
of wheat. He broke the land as
soon as he cut his wheat, and since
has run the harrow over the ground
five times. He will sow the seed
about the twentieth of this month.
Give that next order of joh work
| to The Index.
