GRAVES VIOLATED
BY STANDARD OIL
THE DEAD MUST MAKE WAY
FOR ITS LINES
Great Indignation at Whiting, Ind,
Over Determination of Company
to Annex the Village
Cemetery
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
WHITING, Ind, March S.-This city.
which is located just across the state
line from Chicago, is all torn up. John
d. Rockefeller has bought the village
cemetery as an annex to the Standard
Oil refinery. He needs the ground oc-
cupied by the dead for his pipe lines,
and the cemetery will soon be honey
combed with oil pipes. What is to be-
come of the bodies has not yet been
determined.
The cemetery is well improved and
there are many beautiful monuments.
These will have to be taken down and
removed. The people of Whiting are
indignant because the Standard Oil
company did not plan to build it's pipe
lines around the cemetery instead Of
despoiling it, In this way, the resi-
dents say, the company could have let
the dead rest In peace.
The Standard Oil company practical
ly owns Whiting, nearly every inhabit-
ant of the place being an employe.
Hence, when the superintendent decid-
ed that the cemetery was needed, none
dared raise a protesting voice for fear
of losing his position.

INDEPENDENCE. Kas., March s.
The Prairie Oil and Gas company, the
Kansas branch of the Standard Oil
company, today issued an order to the
effect that hereafter in Kansas oil test
ing below thirty degrees gravity will
not be bought by the company.
This is characterized as the hardest
blow yet struck by the Prairie COM
pany at the Kansas oil producers, as
it means that practically no oil will be
taken by this concern in Kansas out
side of the bottom Independence field,
the Tyro and Chautauqua counties.
This, it is expected, will not affect the
district where the state oil refinery is
to be located.

WITHDRAWING HIS ARMY
Grave Difficulties Under Which Gen
kuropatkin Now Is Laboring

BY Associated Press
ST. PETERSBURG, March 8, a. m
The battle of Mukden has resulted in
a Russian defeat. Field Marshal Oya-
ma has once more proved himself one
of the greatest masters of offensive
strategy since Napoleon, while General
Kuropatlxin is now engaged in en-
deavoring to defend his title as a mas
ter of successful retreats and bring
his army. with its immense train, safe
ly to Tie pass, where position was
long ago prepared with this contingent
cy in view. The problem before the
Russian commander in chief is much
more difficult than the one he met
successfully at Liao Yang, since now
he is threatened on both fianks, his
left wing being entangled in a noun
famous region far from the railroad.
From information in the possession
of the Associated Press it is known
that General Kuropatkin contemplated
retirement before the beginning of the
battle, and that he had hoped to ac-
complish 1t without serious combat.
The Japanese, however, forced him to
accept battle.
Race for Tie Pass
General Rennenkampff's force to the
eastward admittedly is in great danger
of being cut off, and a considerable
force of Japanese appears to be operat-
ing on the Russian right well toward
Tie pass. If the Japanese succeed In
reaching the railroad and interrupting
traffic, If only for few hours, 1t may
have the greatest consequences for
General Kuropatkin, who is now en-
gagged in literal race with the Japa-
nese to reach a naturally defensible
position forty miles northward. Thus
far he has stood off all attacks direct

100 BUSHELS PER ACRE.

We sometimes hear of 100 bushels
of corn being raised to the acre, but
such instances are rare. We are more
accustomed to hear OF forty bushels
which is the average amount on most
farms. Since 1t has been shown that 100
bushels or even more can be raised it
seems strange that we do not hear more
about such successful farming. Is it
hard to accomplish such record :?
Does it take too much time. labor and
capital to raise a large crop instead Of
a small one?
is not as likely to succeed as he who
plants only five acres. To, raise 100
bushels of corn to the acre instead Of
forty, requires a little more care and
labor, but 1t pays abundantly in the
end. Indeed. If we figure out the
amount of work done in blowing. har-
rowing, planting. cultivating and har-
vesting on ten acres and compare it
with the same work done on five acres,
we will find that it takes more than
twice as much work. while the result
in yield must be the same.
For the last two years 1 have raised
100 bushels of corn to an acre and will

ton. First. I choose the ~,ece of

In these modern days. when clubs

uniting for every purpose under the
sun. the most natural and logical thing
to happen. In fact the only thing that
could be expected to happen. Is the

one of the tiny seeds which nature has

they fall. The spirit of federation

wings OF thought and progress. and to
take root and grow wherever these
things find suitable and prepared soil
Federation is in the air. and those who
do not wish to breathe it or to be af-

spirit has passed on. But 1t will be
hard to shut it out. for 1t is as persist
ent as the sunlight. and. in its way, as
labor, there is the federation of
churches, and of school teachers. and
of all kinds of lodges.
And now we are hearing more and
more all the time about the federation
OF womens clubs. AT this time of the
year, when members of all organiZa
lions are preparing to gather in coun
Gil for fellowship and for the further

appears that hundreds OF women all
over our state are planning to gather
into monster mass meeting. and this
meeting together shall be without any
reference to church or creed. without
reference to politics or religion without
reference to charity or reform. The in
terests which draw the women together
in the federation of clubs are such as
have naturally grown out of the inter-
ests of the Individual literary clubs,
and hence are educational. literary and
