Editorial Tn ge1uity.

Indiana editors have fertile brains If they cannot overcome a difficulty in one way they will in another. In the sout2tTn part of the state recently, reports the Indianapolis News, the postmaster of a small town refused to forward the weekly edition of a news paper because f contained the names of persons who had won prizes at a drawing. in violation of the anti-lot- tery law. The editor of the paper had the entire edition carted back to his office, sharpened his shears, carefully clipped the obnoxious item cut of ovety copy of the paper, and sent the edition back to the post office In western Indiana the editor of a small eai'y newspaper displayed almost as much ingenuity. lie found. the other Gay, after the edition had been worked on, that the paper was dated Mon day.

Of course she could not make him hear and she rattled the knob and pounded and pulled to no purpose. She lived in the lower flat of an apartment house, and her room had long windows opening on a small balcony. She rushed out there, only to find that she could not see the front entrance, but she hailed a boy, pass ing

A BALCONY
 SCENE
WHEN Katherine came back to the
sy CAMILLA J. KNIGHT

WHEN Katherine came back 10 the WV dinner table after answering the telephone she looked so sober, es- pecially in contrast with her previous high spirits. that the family resolved itself into an interrogation point at once.
 Harry can't come for me" she said slowly
 "Is that all? Thought there must have been a death at the very least
 No, that's not all. He very kini- ly provides me with an escort, and that escort none other than MT. Ran. dolph Payson."
 Well, what's the matter with Mir. Payson? I thought he was all right?'
 That's just what's the matter-he' s so invariably and provokingly all right He's a perfect paragon of pro priety, and I shall be sure to do some thing to shock him. I've half mind not to go.'
 "Oh Katherine" interposed her mother, you must. Harry is depend ing on your solos"
 Yes, that's another thing. Some one has failed him at the last minute and he wants me to sing another. I hate these concerts for the benefit of some thing anyway; they're always in some stuffy hall, and there's never decent piano"
 Well, dear" said her mother, sooth- ingly, you must just do the best you can. l cant imagine why you feel so about 1t. Most girls would be delight. ed with Randolph Payson as an es- cort.''
 Most girls are scared blue of him just the same. It's enough to rifle anybody just to look at him, he's so absolutely faultless
 Katherine was ready at the appoint ed time, and was alone, the other members of the family, including the maids, having gone out. She was positively nervous about meeting MT Payson, and started violently when the bell proclaimed his arrival. She pick. ed up her gloves to go, but to heI

Decreased Rural Population.


 IL seems paradox. but is neyeTthe- less well established as true. that in certain Of the best farming regions of the United States great and abounding agricultural prosperity has resulted in decreased rural population. A no less suiking tha. surprising Illustration of this is given in a recent state cen sus report of Iowa, which is reported t9 show falling off of two per cent. in the population of that great and prosperous state since the general cen sus of 1900. Of course such a re- suit was not acceptable 10 Iowa's pride, ana it was not readily accepted. Slose inquiry, however, is reported not only to confirm the general correctness of the new count, but to show sufficient reason for it's disappointing result. The explanation offered Is that it is all due to the hamburger of the prosper ogs Iowa farmer Having money ahead, and we'll knowing that good farm land in the Mississippi valley is one of the safest and most profitable of in- Yestnents, he has been buying in the adjoining farms of his less forehanded neighbors to such an extent, the re- ports say, that vacant farmhouses dot every township in the state. Many of these vacant farmhouses may again be occupied by the sons and sons-in-law Of the purchaser; some of them will be abandoned and the newly acquired lands consolidated into larger farms And if Iowa follows the course of de- yelopment that has been going on for many years in the magnificent farming regions of central Illinois the consolidated farms will be leased in tracts of so to 320 acres, or more, to thrifty and prosperous tenant-farm- CTS. The process as it has gone in Illinois for number of years is that the wealthier land owner buys ou; the 40 and S0-acre farms of his neigh bors, tile-drains and otherwise i'm proves them. often renting the same lands or larger tracts to the vendors, who generally made more money as tenants than they had done as owpers. The tenant farmers of central Illinois put their capital into the best of farm implements and machinery and liv: stock Their prosperity is seen in their comfortable and well-furnished houses, the well-kept vehicles and horses with which their families drive to church and to country gatherings In central Illinois just now the tend ency is 10 larger farms, the tenant generally desiring to increase his area and the landlord regulating tn, quantity of land he will lease by tho proved capacity and success of eacl tenant. For it's best farm lands Icwi appears to be approaching the sam system

Pumping Gravel.

Pumping gravel like water through a large iron pipe may seem a strange and unique proceeding" says Popular Mechanics, but this is what is actually being done in certain districts in h. diana. Great difficulty has always been experienced in obtaining gravel from riyer-beds for use in road build ing, but the new method promises 10 put an end to this. 4 six-inch pump is used. driven by 15-horsenower en- zine, and three men are necessary for it's operation. A plant of this kind has a capacity of lifting over 100 yards of gravel 2 day"
