A friend of ours raised a most ex-

by laying the seed potatoes on the top
of the ground and covering them with
straw to a depth of foot or more.
When ripe the ground was almost COW

per cent better than were raised by

Work of the Past Four
Years.
PRESIDENT JOHN NJ. BLOSS

indianapolis, Ind, December 21.-
The most interesting discussion that
has arisen during the meeting of the
Township Trustees of the State, who
held their closing session in the Su-
preme Court room at the State
House yesterday. was on the speech
OF former President John NJ. Bloss,
OF Delaware county, ON the subject,
"Our Work of the Past Four Yers. -
our most important duty,' he
said, sis to get the best teachers OBJ
ta1nable for your schools. I want TO
say to you that there are not to be
found In Indiana people who are
capable of teaching properly the
boys and girls of this State. The
ideal teacher, who is able to lift up
the boys and girls rather than drag
them down is rare. 1t has been said
teachers are not paid enough.
Many teachers are getting infinitely
more than they are worth. The peo-
pie are willing and ready to pay for
a good thing, but it is the incompl-
tents that pull down the standard.
[ assert without fear of contradic-
ton that there are not enough edu-
Gated people in this State VIE are
competent to teach.''
The trustees wound up their bust
ness yesterday afternoon with the
annual election of officers of their
association in the Supreme Court
room at the State House. The Off
GERS elected were:

MANY IMPROVEMENTS,

1t is commended, says a Philadelphia
authority, that with the opening Of
the Panama canal much freight will
be sent South 10 be loaded on vessels
on the west coast of Florida. 1t is
also believed by railroad officials that,
instead of all the transports for points
in the Pacific leaving San Francisco,
a number will leave from the coast Of
Florida, as the cost of transporting the
stores for these vessels, as we'll as
the troops. will be much cheaper if
loaded there than if they were car
ried across the continent.
With this belief, officials of the Sea-
board Air Line are planning for an
extension from Sarasota. in Florida,
to Bolo Grande, on Charlotte harbor.
The distance is about forty miles. This
harbor has splendid facilities. as the
water is deep enough to accommodate
the largest ships. 1t is also sheltered,
and, 1t is said, will make a splendid
place for transports to fit out for a
long cruise. The Seaboard is also 10

Besides this improvement, the Sea-
board is having a survey made for

c., to Peach Orchard. where connec-
ton will be made with the Chesapeake
and Ohio. The latter is now building
a line from Ashland to Peach Or
chard.
The road has two objects in view
in the construction of this line. 1t
will afford direct connection with the
Chesapeake and Ohio, with an outlet
to points in the West. and will give

CAUCUS SECRETS
WERE BETRAYED
MAY BE AN INVESTIGATION.
ALDERMAN DIVERS GOLDEN RULE
CAUSE OF THE TROUBLE.

Although no Members of Council
Not Deny That Another IrOncIad
Agreement, as to Caucus Secrets,
Was Madeleine Alderman Took
City Official Into His Confidence
and Declared He Is Going to Have
an investigation.
What alderman has so far forgot
ten himself as to betray the secrets of
a caucus?"
Because it was published in the
Morning News yesterday that AL
derman Frank M. Oliver had quoted
the Golden Rule to his brother alder
men, while they were in secret session,
one or two aldermen protested.
Aldermen Oliver lodged no COM
plant, so far as known. And those
aldermen who did protest wanted it
understood that it was not because the
public had been informed that they
had been told, do unto others as you
would that others should do unto you"
but because others had talked while
they represented the proverbial clam.
Wants an investigation.
But the protests that were registered
does not end the matter. AT least one
member of Council will insist upon an
answer to the question who is
guilty" He took a city official into
his confidence during the day, and de-
clared that it was an outrage, and that
at the very next gathering of the al
dermen he intended to insist upon an
investigation, with a view to determin-
ing just how it became known that
Alderman Oliver had recited the Gold
en- Rule.
Il think it's pretty hard when we
all agree to keep mum to pick up the
paper the next morning and read it
all" said one alderman who evidently
had entered a compact of some sort,
and intended to abide by it. Il don't
see why one man should be allowed to
talk, and another should be made to
keep his mouth shut. If there is going
to be any public discussion of these
matters that come up at the meetings
of the Committee of the Whole, why
want to have my say along with the
rest"
Some Recent Compact Made.
While more than one alderman was
unusually interested in the fact that
something that had happened in eau
Gus had leaked out" no one could
be found who would admit that there
had been a recent ruling on the sub
ject of disclosing the secrets of eau
cuses. Evasive answers were given to
questions, but none of the aldermen
seen would state that there had not
been some very recent heart to heart
talks.
1t is believed that a kick was reg
istered by some alderman that eau
Gus information was being made pub
lie, and that a new compact was en-
tered into. Not every member of
Council feels that the business trans
acted by the aldermen behind closed
doors should be kept entirely secret,
although one alderman has said that
the city government should be run
like a private firm, but it is under
stood that all agreed to refrain from
talking. But Alderman divers Col
den Rule has started the agitation
afresh and it is promised that there
will be interesting happenings when
the Committee of the Whole has it's
next elaboration.
