Now the election is over and the
good work done, the Indianapolis
Journal takes occasion to compliment
the republican country press. 1t says:
sin this world it is often the case
that those who render a cause the
most effective and unceasing assist
ance rarely receive anv notice. much
less any applause. The republican
press of Indiana belongs to that body
of the un~appreciated and the unmen-
toned. The republican newspaper is
always on the battle line, and usually
has the fight well in hand when the
orators come into the field. This was
certainly the case in 1896, when Is to
1 suddsr.y became so prominent.
The resotiscan press had turned the
tide before the campaign was well
along. The newspaper reaches thou
sands every day or week In the year,
where the orator speaks to hundreds
a few times in q campaign.

There seems to have arisen . de-
mand for shorter campaigns. The Co

vigorous campaign is preferable to a
long, hard pull. Eight weeks OF stren-
uous politics are sufficient" and the
South Bend Times comments:
"Nouldn'e four weeks Of active CAM
pAigning be enough! Eight weeks Is

FURNITURE s. UNDERTAKING.
The Great Advancement Made In
These Lines.

= America is the largest furniture
center in the world, and in 10 direct
ion have the vast changes that skill
and taste Of an elevated industrial art
been more strongly exemplified by a
combination Of the beautiful. dura-
BILE and useful than in the finish
ed productions OF furniture manu-
facturedin this country, which find a
market in foreign lands as well as our
own. The trade in America is repre-
Sented with y capital OF $3.50, 600, 900
yearly invested by manufacturers and
dealers.
Moruuary goods have also beer won
derfully improved, and instead OF the
uncouth coffin OF primitive times we
have now the beautiful caSket, with
it's artistic decorations. The great
science of arterial embalming, which
is now practiced. whereby a body can
be kept for weeks, even, is, in a meas
ure, a revival of one of the lost arts,
and demonstrates forcibly the great
advancement made in that direction.
These thoughts occurred to che writer
while visiting the furniture and
undertaking establishment OF
c. R. LEONARD,
corner Of Michigan and Laporte
streets, Familiarity known as the old
hardware corner. Mr.. Leonard estab-
lished his business here Is years ago,
and his store is we'll known to the peo-
pie of this county. In Undertaking
he has kept apace with the times with
successive ideas, and is a graduate

The greatest difficulty this firm ex-

can use. During the busy season
about $4,000 pounds of butter are
manufactured per week at the three
creameries, and now 1900 pounds
are manufactured per week. This
firm wants milk in the winter as well
as in the simmer, and farmers should
give more attention to this fact.
They should see to it that their farms
are well stocked with good COWS,
cared for in the best manner, which
will insure them the best results, as
every farmer knows it pays TO raise
stock, for it not only gives a profit in
one way but is also necessary to

Grammar and Spelling.

An exchange laments the fact that
so many people are deficient in SPELL
ing, and charges it partly to the
schools. Poor spelling and poor gram
maj show lack of training, not lack
of training. not lack of education. The
schools aim to train and to educate,
and their defects IL making good
spoilers and users Of good English are
radical and deserving of condemnation
because they fail In the first element
of educational effort. The mind and
memory must be trained first, and
both bad spelling and the S Of un-
grammatical language are chiefly due
to defective memory, lack of idea Of
form and in the foundations of educa-
ton. To the extent that poor spoilers
and habitual users of bad English
come from the schools, are schools to
be censured, for it argues failure in
elemental training.-Elkhart Review.

Plymouth creamery from Jan. 1 to
Nov l, 1902, in round figures l 1908, 296
pounds of milk, for which they paid
$40, 959, 10. AS there is no special
effort made in dairying on the
part Of our farmers, these figures
are exceedingly large, and should
prove c~onclusively that by giving the
cows the care and attention they
should receive, dairying could be made
a very profitable part Of the farmers
work. for these figures could be in
creased three-fold il the farmers Of
this section would become more inter-
ested, and give this part Of farming
the attention it deserves.
The advantage of creamery butter
to consumers as another item worthy
of note. This firm aims successfully
to take a product that formerly sold
at a low price and make it into a pro-
duct of superior quality that will sell
at a higher price. The price of ordi-
nary country butter is Is cents per
pound, while creamery butter sells at
from "a to % cents per pound-s to 9
cents more. The increased value of
that butter is the result of improved
methods derived from understanding
how to take care of the milk.
A superior grade of cottage cheese
is also made from buttermilk at this
creamery, and finds a ready sale in
Chicago.
Thirty-five men are employed by
the SchloSser Bros. in their creamery
business, and beside their plant here
they have general Offices in Chicago.
This enterprise gives support to many
families, and brings money into this
county, which directly benefits it.
