CRAWFORDSVILLE, Ind, Feb. 2.-
Dressed grotesquely. hands bound and
chained together, paraded up and down the
principal streets of the city and before the
homes of a half dozen Charlottesville girls
prominent in college society, will probably
be the fate of twelve members of the sopho-
more class who, in chains tonight, are the
prisoners of the class of 1907.
During the progress of this strange pa
rade the fellow-cl8ssmen of the unfor-
tunates will be in hiding, each fearing that
he will be the one to swell the number to
Thirteen.
To be brought before the discipline COM
mittee of the faculty, closely questioned by
the members and President Kane and dis
missed with the word that his terms credits
have been taken away will be the fate of
every freshman found to be implicated in
the Imprisonment of their opposing class
men. Such is the threat of DR.. Kane, and
he has never been known to fail to carry
out threat
Against this move of the president and
the faculty is an ironbound agreement be-
tween the members of the freshmen class.
1t provides that if even one credit is
taken from any of them. or If any member
is suspended, the entire class will leave the
institution in a body.
The other classmen say that parental OBJ
lection will make it impossible for over
half the class to fulfill the agreement.
Tonight in the rooms of President Zim-
norman, of the freshmen, on College street,
twelve sophomores are prisoners. Stripped
of their outer clothing and given a blanket,
each man is held prisoner by chains and
ropes.
At least thirty freshmen stand guard
around the house, ready to repulse an
attempt on the part of the sophomores TO
release their unfortunate leaders.
The captives have been brought in all
day, some having been surprised on the
streets, others having been forcibly carried
from their rooms. All have been ring
leaders in class difficulties heretofore.
There need be no fear of attack by the
sophOmOreS, for every not a captive
is making his best efforts to keep out OF
sight. All admit that they have suffered an
ignominiouS defeat.
From fear that some retalia tory measures
Will be taken not one member of the fresh
man class is alone tonight. All are awake
and those not at the rooms of Zimmerman
are in parties scouting the city in search
of more victims.
President Kane had demanded the imme-
date release OF the sOphOmoreS, but his
demand had been utterly disregarded The
freshmen say that when Miller was cap
tured several days ago. the compact was
violated.
A consultation with members of the fac
ulty resulted in President Kane issuing
his ultimatum. Steps will probably be
taken this morning to prevent the parade
The ringleaders of the sOphomOreS who
are in custody are Heintz, Rubbish, Kline
Shirley, Willis, Sullivan and King.

Breaking Implements and Farm
Machiuery,

The Cinbe OF b%reakaRes of imple-
ments and fairy! machinery is out OF
all proportion 10 what II ought to be.
1t would probably be quite correct to
say that more than three-fourths of
these breakages ure the outcome of
carelessness. OF course there are some
Instances In. which it could not be pos
sible 20 avoid breaking implements, but
by a proper care 1t can generally be
avoided.
These breakings are the outcome of
the lack of application of the mind to
the work that is now being done. The
individual allows himself to work in a
sort of n mechanical way, and in con-
sequence OF this the necessary care Is
not observed that would tend to pre-
vent such results. In other words,
mere force Of physical exertion. 1t
would not be incorrect to say that mat
ter works while the mind Is asleep, or
while 1t is wandering away In other
fields. Good workmen, no matter how
simple the work which they perform.
are careful to keep their mind upon
their work. IL the individual is hand
ling a shovel, his mind goes along
with every shovelful of earth lifted.
II he Is using a hoe his mind goes
with every movement of the hoe; as
3 result the work can be done to the
best advantage. If the implements In
use are properly used.
The difference between a work hand
who keeps his mind thus up0p his
work, and one who does not Is very
great. The former is sure to do work
In a good n proper manner, while
the latter is just as sure to do 1t in
efficiently. So many look upon it as a
sort of slavery to have the min thus
trained. 1t is not, however. When
the mind is thus trained it works quite
naturally as the result of this train
ing.
The question as to who should stand
the cost of breakages is a perplexing
one. 1t seems a little hare sometimes
to make the workman bear the en-
tire cost, and yet when the b.eakages
certainly not unjust that he should
do so. The perpleNing question, how
ever, comes in a great many instances.
rs to whether these b~reakages are a re-
suit Of carelessness? Or more general
ly speaking. how can this be deter
mined by parties who are willing to do
what is fair? If the implement was
good, and properly made. and was be-
ing used in doing work for which II
was intended, the breaking of the i'm
plement under such circumstances
farelcssness. This much is clear, that
1t would not be fair to expect the own
tr to make good every implement brok-
en- through careiessness. without regard
10 the value of the implement, or the
Inconvenience which in most instances
arises therefrom in arresting the pro-
gress of the work that is being done.

RAISING SQUADS FOR MARKET
Demand Has Given Rise to Quite ar

important Industry.
Outdoors: Up to a very few years ago
pigeon raising was considered a boys
sport only, but their interesting ways, the
fascination OF breeding them for the show
pen and the demand for squads by hotels
and restaurants prompted a few men to
take them up as a recreation or a bust
ness. and the success of these few caused
others to Join them until now 1t has be-
come quite a large industry. We will
first take up the breeding Of pigeons for
SQUAD selling.
There Is only one variety OF pigeon
used for this purpose-the common varie-
ty. They are worth nothing for the show
pen. but are very prolific. each pair rear
Ing eight or nine pairs of squads a year.
1t takes squads but one month to ma
ture, that is, they are full grown and
ready for market one month from hatch
Ing. The old birds have made their sec
ong nest ana laid their eggs before the
last young ones are grown. 1t takes the
Eggs eighteen days to hatch, SO that about
every month and q half there Is a pair of
squads ready for market from each pair.
The principal food for pigeons Is wheat.
though a little cracked corn with this is
good for them.
Cleanliness and system mean success
with squads. and though much is said to
the contrary they require consid cradle
care in order to get the very best results,
They do we'll in nearly any climate,
though a place where the winters are
short and not severe is the best. The
southern states and California are the
best suited for this industry, and they
contain many farms which make a spe.
cialty Of SQUAD raising. One farm in Cal.
ifornia has nearly 2o0,0 900 old birds.
