the north quarter of the state, Sec
ton in which about one half of the
Indiana creamerles are located, and
and IN which several new ones have
been started within year or two. A
great deal of milk is produced in the
western part for the Chicago Market.

road, making it easy of access from all
directions, and local trains run at con-
venient hours.
a good program is in process OF pre-
paration which will include prominent
speakers from this and other states.
Prizes will be offered for creamery
and for dairy butter as we'll as for
cheese.
The merit of the essays received
last year prompts the repetition CT the
following offer.
To the person residing in Indiana,
presenting the best essay, as result
of his or her own work, on the cost Of
producing milk, butter fat or butter,
a prize of $1,000 will be awarded; and
to the writer of the second best $500.
Essays should be written on one
side of the paper only.
The writer's name should accom-
pany the essay on separate piece Of
paper.
Essays should IL IN the hands of the
secretary before the opening Of the
first session of the convention.
Suggestion: AS COW must be
maintained year, whether she is pro-
ducing or not, it is suggested that
where it is possible to know of the
years production either by home re-
cords or the creamery where the milk
may be delivered, and to make an ac-
curate estimate 10y weight if possible)
of feed and pasture consumed. it is the
most desirable basis for figures. The
shorter the period the more accurate
the figure may be because Of the prac-
ticability of getting actual weights for
a short time for the whole evidence
the essay bears that the writer knows
accurately whereof he writes, rather
than guessing at what was or might
be done by his herd will have much
weight in making the award.
Applications for entry blanks may
be addressed to the secretary, H. j..

Effect Of Public Opinion.

The conviction of Jett in part Of

which have been points of light to be
seen by the whole country.
Kentucky people had come to regard
the numerous murders in Breathitt
county, thirty-seven in the last two
years, with indifference or hopeless
ness, until the murder of prominent
men aroused and concentrated the at
tention of the nation upon them and
their disgrace. 1t was public opinion
that aroused and stimulated the Ken
tuckians and gave solid backing to the
element which has restored the Dig
nifty of law. 1t has been public opin-
ion which has stirred up and enllght-
lyncherS have been convicted, or
sheriffs have put the law before their
lives.
This public opinion has the ac-
quaintance Of every citizen in the land
with the minutest details of each
tragedy. The press has shown this
and repeated each incident to the
communities that suffered crime. 1t
public opinion, and now it carries to
all the satisfaction aud hopefulness
that there has been positive advance
all along the line in the dignity and
power of the law.-IndianapoliS Star.

How the springboks Travel.

The springboks of South Africa mi
crate in vast herds, moving in a com
pact body and carrying everything be-
fore them. If a flock of sheep be in
the line of march, as sometimes hap
pens, it is surrounded enveloped and
becomes, willingly or unwillingly, part
of the springbok army. An African
hunter tells the strange story of seeing
a lion In the midst of the antelopes,
forced to Join the march. 1t is sup
posed that the lion had sprung too far
for his prey, that those upon whom he
alighted recoiled sufficiently TO allow
him to reach the ground, and then the
pressure from both TANKS and the rear
prevented him from escaping from his
strange captivity.
If the springbok travels in such
armies, how can those in the middle
and in the rear find food? In this wise:
Those in the front ranks, after they
have eaten greedily of the pasture,
gradually fall out of the ranks TO rest
and chew the cud, while the hungry
ones in the rear come up, and so the
columns are all the while changing.

CH|CAGo'ss BIG FETE.
Centennial Celebrating the Per-
manent Settlement of the City.
LARGE SUMS FOR DISPLAYS.
Week of Sept. 20 to Oct. l to be De-
voted to Great Spectacles.

Chicago's Centennial Jubilee, to be
given this fall, is beginning to attract
attention throughout the Western
States. From September 20 to October
l, the city will be the scene of series
OF municipal fetes such as have been
equaied only in the days of the Roma ans.
Two OF the most popular features on
the program viii be the military parade
for President Roosevelt, and a vivid
reproduction of the burning of Chicago.
The parade will include United States
troops from the forts of the West, the
state militia, crack regiments from
different parts of the country, and other
uniformed organizations.
In the mimic confiagration, five hun
dred tons of Roman fire will be ignited
simultaneously on the tops of the taller
buildings within the area burned by the
great fire of 1871. The skyscrapers will
be especial vantage grounds for the
display, and from the DeKoven street
home of the famous Mrs OLeary,
where the great fire started, there will
be big flight of bombs.
In one of the parks there will be a
reproduction of Fort Dearborn, built in
1903. This was the first white man s
building in the city, and it is to com
memorate its construction that the
Jubilee is held Four hundred Indians,
descendants of the tribes that once
lived in Chicago, will hold camp about
the fort and will make daily attack on
it. The structure also will be the scene
of reunion of the scattered pioneers
of the city.
An industrial parade at night, brill
iantly Illuminated and containing many
handsome floats, will be another spec
tacle. There also will be superb fire.
works, automobile races, swimming
races and water polo contests in which
the participants will be the famous
athletes of the country, yachting races
in which the crack boats of the lakes
will fight for valuable cups, and many
other openair events to which all
Chicago and the surrounding country
will be hidden.
The Chicago & North Western R'y,
the pioneer line west and northwest,
reaches Chicago from all points west.

rhe Fragrant Heliotrope.

You may give a heliotrope, and not a
very large plant, as much water as you
give a geranium and think you are Civ
ing all that is required. Your plant will
fail to make a vigorous and healthy
growth because it is not moist enough
at the roots. Examine 1t. and you will
find that the tiny roots have extracted
the moisture almost wholly. If not
given more water at once, some of the
young and delicate roots are injured,
and the plant takes on diseased con-
dition, from which it often never re-
covers. Do not get the idea that the
soil in which heliotropes are grown
ought to be kept wet Not at all. But
because ii requires more moisture than
many plants. because ii extracts more
rapidly from the soil, water should be
given oftener TO keep the soil in the
proper condition.

The Passing OF Wall street.

1ne ReSS1ug or Wall Street.
1t may be too much to say. that the
time has come when Wall street has
lost its power to bring panic upon
this country should Wall street deem it
Tor its own interest to do so. 1t is a
matter of doubt whether Wall street
did not suffer more or less from the last
panic, and Notwithstanding the threat
made by Chauncy Depew during the
1896 campaign, that Wall street could
bring business disaster upon the whole
nation within twenty-four hours if it so
desired, it may be doubted whether
Wall street could make more money
that way than it can make by blood
sucking when the blood of the nation is
healthy, and plentiful from prosperity.
Be that as it may we think the lesson
taught by the two Wall street panics
that have come and gone within year
without perceptibly disturbing the
balance of the country is that 1.-THE
street" is losing its power for evil over
the business of the country at large.
As the varied resources of the country
are developed, and other powerful
money centers are being formed in sew
eral large cities throughout the country
having legitimate business enterprises
to promote, New York City may carry
on its great industry of stock gambling
turning its millionaires into multi-mill-
ionaires and beggars, while the rest of
the country goes on its way rejoicing.
Perhaps we have not yet reached that
happy condition. but the events of the
last few weeks indicate that we are
well on our way toward it.
In the meantime it would be a wise
policy to avoid investing money in
those things in which Wall street gam
bles. There is no safety in railroad
stocks, copper stocks, or any of the
Wall street capital 1t is like putting
your head into the lions mouth to risk
your money in them. If the rest of the
country leaves these things entirely to
Wall street to play shuttle cock with,
the interests of ''the street" aud of the
balance of the country will be health
fully separated from each other, and it
will make not the slightest difference
to any of us whether Keene feels IAN
noyed' at losing million and q half,
or has passing moment of pleasure
because he has won few millions.
The press dispatches have spoken in
terms of commentator of the behavior
of the New York banks toward 'the
street" during its recent troubles. If
the truth has been told about the banks
and if they will continue the same
policy in the future, of letting ''the
street" take care of itself when it gets
into trouble, it will be well for the New
York banks, and for the banks of the
rest of the country which are under
stood to have large sums on deposit in
the New York banks. Wall street
would be deprived of the greater part
of its evil influence upon the business
of the country if the National govern
ment and the banks of New York would
let it shift for itself The government
and the banks have heretofore been
afraid to do this, having got possessed
in some way of the idea that panic in
Wall street means panic throughout
the country Possibly that may have
been true twenty or ten years ago.
But, happily, it seems not to be true
now
