FRe Stock Sold.

CT. Mattingly shipped two very
fine calves, bull and a heifer, to Me-
daryville Monday. They were sent by
express to III. V. Clark, a prominent
breeder who is willing to pay good
price for the very best stock.
The calves were double standard
polled Durhams which gives them
more than ordinary value for breed
ing purposes.
A question Of Importance arises
right here. 1t is this. Why dc Marsh
all county farmers allow the best stock
to go out of the county? Or why is it
that so much more attention is given
by most of our farmers to good hogs
than to good cattle?
There is certainly profit in raising
good cattle and cattle enrich farm
to a greater extent than any other
stock.
II farmers will take the trouble to
observe the sections of country where
land sells for 500 per acre, they will
find that farmers there keep the very
best cattle and raise and ship large
numbers every year.

MADE SO. 100000 AFTER SEVENTY
Capt. John Ford. Who Died at Creish.
ton. Pa, Accomplished Miracle.

Capt. John B. Ford, whose death
occurred last Thursday night at his
home in Creighton, Pa, a suburb of
Pittsbug. at the advanced age of
ninety-two years. made a fortune of
$40. 900. 900 after being left pennileSs
at the age of seyenty-two. He.was
for many years one Of the most ex-
tensive manufacturers in Indiana.
He was engaged in glass and iron
manufacturing, and was for years in
terested in the shipbuilding interests
which flourished here before the war.
1t was Capt. Ford who demonstrated
to the world the fact that plate glass
could be successfully manufactured in
America. He made in New Albany
in 1871, the first sheet of plate glass
ever manufactured in this country and
established there the first plae glass
factory ever erected on the American
continent.
Capt. Ford was most remarkable
man. He was born in Danville, KY,
in 1910 and came to Floyd county In
diana 10 1882. He remained there
just fifty years. His first venture as
manufacturer was small cutting
box factory in New Albany. Some
years later he established an extensive
iron manufacturing plant and later a
glass works plant which grew to be
one of the largest institutions OF the
kind in the world. Plate glass, win
dow glass and glass bottles were man.
ufactured in the same plant.
In 1882 Capt. Ford failed in bust
ness here. At the age OF seventy-Six
years he left New Albany without a
dollar. He went to Pittsburg where
he interested capitalists in the glass
manufacturing business. He continu-
ed in that business until three years
ago when he retired with fortune of
$40, 600. 900.
Capt. Ford was succeeded in the
glass manufacturing business in New
Albany by the late Washington G.

1t is somewhat remarkable that In
current discussion of the purchase of
Louisiana territory all the credit for
the transaction Is given to Thomas
Jefferson. 1t is true that as Presi-
dent he was prompt In embracing the
opportunity to purchase Louisiana
when 1t was presented, but be did not
originate and had never before fav-
ored the idea of acquiring 1t. His
plan went no further than securing by
negotiation the free navigation Of the
Mississippi river. Two American
statesmen publicly advocated the free
navigation of the Mississippi river
before Jefferson did. These were
James Madison and Alexander Hamil-
ton. The former proposed to secure
it by treaty and the latter by terri
torial expansion. When Jefferson be
gan to advocate the free navigation of
the river be was willing that its west
ern bank and its mouth should re-
main under foreign coEtrol. Hamil-
ton favored ownership Of the river and
the country beyond. In 1899, four
years before the purchase Of Louisi-
ana, Hamilton. said he had long re-
garded the acquisition of the terri
tory as essential to the permanency
Of the Union" He was the first
American expansionist anG the earli-
est advocate of a continental republic.
He blazed the way and Jefferson fol-
lowed. All honor to the man who
consummated the purchase of Louisi-
ana territory, but let us not forget
that his political rival recognized the
importance Of the acquisition years
before he did.-Indianapolis Journal.

The Brooklyn Eagle thinks that no
prominent supporter of Bryan should
be nominated for president by the
democratic party. This leads the
Washington Post to ask if it would be
possible to elect any democrat who
did not support Bryan. These two
views of the matter will require a
great deal of consideration by the
party if they are harmonized so as t6
