Sir Thomas J. Lipton’s Decision and How It Benefits You HE World War brought about an over-supply of tea. A yearago,packers of ordinary teas were forced to cut.priCES. Whether to reduce the price of Lipton’s Famous Yellow Label Tea and offer a quality to meet ordinary competition, or to maintain and improve, if possible, the quality, was the big problem put up to Sir Thomas J. Lipton, founder and head of the great Tea Plantations and Factories which bear his name. At that time, Lipton's Gold Label Brand of Orange Pekoe Tea—a blend of special selections of the finest flavored teas, re- tailed at a dollar a pound and more, and sold principally in the so-called ‘‘fancy. grocery” trade. Sir Thomas Lipton’s immediate decision was that if the higher-priced Gold Label ~ American home .office and eastern " packing plant of Thomas J. Lipton, Inc., Hoboken, e New Jersey Orange Pekoe Tea was any better quality than the famous Yellow Label Brand, then the Gold Label quality and standard should be at once adopted for the Yellow Label Brand. Furthermore, if a price reduction in the improved Yellow Label Brand were possible, it should be made. Last year the Gold Label Brand was:dis- continued. Today Lipton’s Yellow Label Brand takes its place as Lipton’s finest tea and is the most delicious and- satisfy-- : ing tea the world produces, and at' a’re= duced price. = If your grocer does not .sell Lipton's Yellow Label Tea, send us his name and we will mail you a free’ sample, ‘together with the name of a grocér who can supply you.

The old familiar “House for Rent” sign is hang- ing out and at Ben Ranard’s blacksmith shop the Hoosier villagers are whittling on goods boxes and speculating .on whether or not the earth is round, just as they did before the war. It will be a long time béfore they quit talking, about the great day when they held a celebration and dedicated to their little village of Whitehall a ten-foot wopden monument, set up on the maim road, bearing the proud insgription “Cen- ter- of Population, U. S. A., 1920.” But their first flush of excitement and pride suddenly changed to lament and disgust when Prof. W. Cogshall, Indiana uni- versity astronomer, came out to Owen county and after a few nights of “star gazin',” as the natives called it, deter- mined; from - astronomical caleulations that an old beech tree in a hillside briar patch on Russell Robinson’s farm two and one-half miles west of Whitehall and eleven miles west of Bloomington, seat of Indiana university and former center of population, was the new hub of the ni- tion. From that day to his the natives have had no interest in their sudden-leap into national limelight.

The firemen in uniform with colored torches followed -the- cr In the parade and added color to the march. The visitors were served refreshments| and were driven-to their home, having | gained the good wishes of ail prosent, as thewr contribution to the fireman's benefit was voluntary.

GENTER Pl]PUlATIUN OF UNITED STATF.S —_—— ¥ % jnational’ trade from north, co lived within 200 yards of the old beech tree, has moved out. He served notice that the center of populatipn-is no place for the rent profiteer by ‘moving two miles down the road, where ‘he gets a house, barn, garden and -pasture-‘free. There, within 200 yards of the center-of population, the five-room - bungalow he formérly occupied stands, .wanting' a renter at $5 pasture, heavily laden walnut trees in the front yard, a big persimmon patch down the road, pawpaws, squirrels within gun- shot,” fish in Little Raccoon creek .near by, only two miles from where a white lightnin’ still was raided recently by government agents, and with a church only a quarter of a mile away—house, barn and all for $5 a month, but not a | renter in sight. The. housing situation is | n‘nt 2 problem at the cen(er of popu)n- tion, Ben Ranard has been urged to open up a cold drink stand in connection: with his blacksmith shon, whicn is the nearest business establishment- to the population beech, He serves as a free information bureau for seekers after the center of population, and sympathetic, well minded travelers have pointed out to him. that his pop stand would be the business hub of the country, strategically located, for south,, east and west. But Ben insists that the 1920 census can bring no good to the. people of Owen county, Indiana, until, they take the center of population away from. that sarned” old beech tree and put it ack at Whitehall, where it would be condbnient, and where it ought to have been left in the first place. 10 CENT FARES BOOSTED TROLLEY C0.
