PECULIAR CROPS.
Snakes. Skunks. Ginssens and Pleas
ant Farms in Clark County, Ind.

Clark county probably raises the
most varied crops of any section in
the State of Indiana and has sever
al peculiar Industries, one of which
is skunk farm near Marysville,
where the animals are raised for the
pelts. Not far from this highly
scented place is dog farm IN
Washington township, where var
ious breeds are reared and sold. In
Charleston township is another dog
farm, where nothing but coon dogs
are looked after, the proprietor of
the industry getting higher prices
for them. Near Nabb is the head
quarters of side show, where
snakes are bred for sale. There is q
farm not far from Jacksonville,
where turtles are raised In large
numbers.
In Bethlehem township a number
of farmers devote a good part of
their land to the culture of the sun
flower, which is grown for its seed,
and the crop this season is expected
to reach 100 tons and bring in rev.
enue of $1,000. In the same locality
butter bean raising is paying IN
dustry, and hundreds of gallons are
now being shipped to Louisville and
Cincinnati.
A ginseng farm on Camp creek,
Washington township, is attracting
considerable attention. Next year
the first crop of roots Will be gath
cred. On the knobs in the vicinity
at ST. Joseph's Hill, is probably the
largest grape vineyard in Indiana,
nearly the entire crop being used in
making wine. Near Henryville is
one of the few forest reservations in
the country, and In this Monaghan
pheasants are being raised in large
numbers. Almost in the town of
Bethlehem is a pecan orchard, one
of the very few in the State of In
diana. Formerly Clark county fur
nIshed one-half of the orchard grass
grown in this country, but the
ground. so the farmers say, has be-

longer so large. The seed is all

What One Boy Thinks Of Editors.

In a certain little country school
house near jacksonville, literary
exercises are held every Friday
afternoon during the term. One
day recently a twelve-year old
boy read the following essay on
newspapers and Editors:"
Newspapers are sheets of pa
per on which stuff to read is print
ed. The men look over the pa
per to see if their names is in it,
and the wimmen use it to put on
shelves and SIGH. | don't know
how newspapers came into the
world / don't think God does.
The bible says nothing about ed
itors, and | never heard of one
being in heaven. | guess the ed
itors is the missing link them fell
lers talk about. The first editor
] ever heard of was the Teller who
wrote up the flood. He has been
here ever since. Some editors be-
long to church and some of them
try to raise whiskers. All of
them raise hell in their neighbor-
hood and all of them are liars; at
least all | know, and / only know
one. Editors never die. At least
| never saw a dead one. Some
times the paper dies, and the peo-
pie feel glad, but some one starts
it up again. Editors never went
to school, because editors never
got licked. Our paper is mighty
poor one, but we take it so that
ma can use it on pantry shelves.
Our editor don't amount to- much,
but pa says he had a poor chance
when he was a boy. Pa hasn't
paid his subscription In five years,
and don't intend to.o

A NEW phase of japanese char
acter is exhibited as a result of
the peace conference at Ports
mouth. The rank and file of the
Japanese people, if reports are to
be credited, heartily disapprove
of the terms of settlement agreed
on with Russia This would in
dictate that the masses In that
country are far better fighters
than diplomats, And yet we can
not believe that this outburst of
feeling, which has possibly cast a
shadow momentarily npon the
hitherto commendable character
of that people, will result in any
serious consequences. As the
world sees it, the japanese have
achieved a victory at Portsmouth
of far deeper significance than
their brilliant exploits on the
battlefield, and exhibited traits
of character and virtues which
seem to be wholly wanting in the
Russians. He who, after conquer
ing his foe in many battles, is
able to conquer himself and his
ambition and pride in the inter-
est of peace and humanity, is a
victor indeed worthy of the name.
To voluntarily lift the laurel
wreath from ones own brow in
the presence of a foiied but flaunt-
ing foe, and with a modest dig
nifty place it upon the statue of
peace, is the brayest act of all.
True, the short-sighted rabble on
the stage may jeer momentarily,
but the real actors in the play
YES, and the Hero of the play
have been called before the cur
tain many, many times and heard
the deafenlng plaudits of world
wide audience.

served long period in the schools

vocation at the end OF that service.
And the job, or profession, calls for
not only years of preparation, but
tact, patience, the highest order OF
intelligence aud shat something that
has not been named, but is the abil-
lty to get along in the face of count
less worry and obstacles
Now, how about the pay?
A coachman-an average, compe-
tent coachman, who can drive and
W no knows something About
! horses-ls better paid than the
average school teacher, for In the
whole United States the average
pay of women teachers is under 40 a
month.
1t Is pointed out that In certain
locality of North Carolina man
who trains puppies for quail-hunt-
ing draws a better salary than any
school teacher in the community.
In the State of Indiana $4,000
teachers receive less than $500 per
year each, and there are other
States in which the showing would
be worse.
Are the people of the United
States in earnest about their desire
Tor thorough education? And IL they
are, cannot they realize that while
some-perhaps many thousands of
good teaehers--will work for pit
lance bscanse they must, the high
est talent will get out OF the bust
ness when opportunity offers, and
that there is and will continue to be
scarcity of the best teachers be-
cause of the scant salaries paid and
offered?
Modern education will not progress
as it should, or produce the results
desired, until there is more justice
displayed in dealing with those who
do the work and bear the BURDENS

THE YOUNG MN
SHOULD WlORl

SHOULD YORK.
The following clipped from an
exchange is we'll worthy of re-
production:
There are young men in every
community who have no occu-
patton because they have not
been able to find an opening in
the particular line that suits
their inclinations.> They have
gone along for years waiting for
such an opening to occur, and
have finally become dissatisfied
with life. They have made a
mistake and those who have en-
couraged them in such a course
are likewise to blame. Perhaps
it is some ambitious parent who
has thus unthoughtedly injured
his offspring. We use the word
injured advisely, for no greater
injury can come to young man
than to contract habits of thrift
lessness in his early youth. If he
has been reared to believe that
something good would come to
him because he happened to be
the offspring of such family,
he has been previously wronged.
In this practical age only merit
succeeds, and each individual
must establish for himself that
character in the business world
which in to sustain his future.
False pride has deferred many
from the first step in what might
have proved a successful career.
Any honest employment is pre-
ferable to life of idleness. The
young man who remains without
work for any considerable time
gets the reputation Of "a ne'r do
well, and business men do not

PRICE OF LEMONS SOARING

Lemonade drinkers will soon find

riety strength. Lemons today are

Local dealers a week ago bought
lemons for $3.50 box so that the in
crease is just a doubling of the price.
The fruit went up $I25 in a single
night. the largest single bound record
ed. The push-up in price is attributed
to the weather. Continued cool wealth
er for awhile cut OFF nearly all demand
for lemons-a dealer could barely dis
pose of a box of fruit in a fortnight. As
there was no demand the wholesalers
neglected TO keep up the good work OF
repacking their lemons from time TO
time, sorting out specimens that show
ed the slightest sign Of decay. Inc
result was many spoiled lemons.

Twenty-Four More True Bills Return
ed by Milwaukee Graft Grand
Jury.

Milwaukee. Wis. July 22.-Twenty-
four indictments. involving II persons,
were returned by the grand jury when
it made its third report last evening.
The Offenses charged are perjury. eX-
tortion. bribery and threats. and. with
the exception of six. the names on the
list are new To the graft inquiry. The
list of the indicted follows:
Thomas \. Clancy. chief of the fire
department.
William e. Hanrahan, secretary of
the fire department.
William Coerper. captain of the fire
department.
Herman w Buemming, county archi-
tect.

William O'Keefe, county supervisor.
Fred and Frank Schultz. newspaper
reporters.
Herman Haasch. ox-county supervi-
sOr.
A. V. KlepSh, county committee clerk.
Much surprise was occasioned by the
indictments against the officials of the
fire department. They grow out of the
raising of two funds by the firemen
last winter TO fight the pending legisla-
ton relating TO their pensions and
raises in salary. II appears that the
lieutenants and captains subscribed the
funds, while the jury did not find that
the money had been unlawfully used.

Silver bass has returned 10 the Rock

twenty years these fish have been
found only occasionally and have never
been caught in large numbers. In the
olden days they swarmed the stream.
No reason is assigned for their de-
parture. because they were not fished
out, and no one knows why they have
returned. The fish commission has not
been stocking the river with this kind
of fish, so far as can be learned The
only explanation is that they have come
down from the Wisconsin lakes Ev-
cry day at the Rockton dam about
forty fish are caught, practically all of
them being silver bass.
