shrewd farmer of Clark county,
Indiana, heard that sunffower
seed was a crop on which money
could be made. AT that time even
an inferior article paid six to seven
cents a pound, and he could raise
from Goo to 100 pounds an acre.
John said nothing and planted sun
flowers. His neighbors laughed
and told him he ought to 90 to
Kansas, but he kept on planting,
and from poor renter he became
a comfortably situated man and
has since retired. Then the neigh
bors stopped laughing and also
planted sunhowers, and to-day the
townships of Bethlehem, Owen and
Washington have at least I, 1000
acres under cultivation. But Nc
Donald got the cream of the
market, for now sunhower seed is
worth only from two and a half to
four cents pound, according to
quality. Still it pays better than
wheat or corn. This commercial

country happened In Michigan one
night last week, when an engineer
misread mis- train orders and instead
of taking a siding ran his train the
Continental Limited on the Wab-
ash road into an emigrant train
loaded With Italians. The collision
vas terrible, MASKING up both
gsins, which Immediately took FIRE
and the helpless people both the
dead and the wounded we're burned

get to them. About one hundred
lives we're lost, as near as can be
ssceftsined, as &, ls hard to tell
