The Signs of stile Times.

If we are not badly deceived in the
signs of the times, farmers that do not
heed the warnings of the Farmers
Union and plant more food crops now,
they will be running around next Fall
wanting everybody's advice about how
to buy $40. 90 a ton peavine hay and
S1.00 a bushel corn with 6 cents cotton!
Our big supply men, and mule men,
too, had better butt in this thing at
once along with the Farmers Union in
their efforts to induce farmers to plant
more food crops and less cotton, or the
game next winter will be nip and tuck
between these men and the buzzards as
to who will get the most revenue out
of this mule mortgage business.
A good deal is being said recently
about live stock associations in each of
the counties of the State, which will be
a good thing if our farmers will take
to them, and instead of Dragging about
selling peavine hay and other food
crops, they will raise and feed more
stock and take care of the manure, they
need not be bowling any longer about
the guano trust!
Our Farmers Unions should take to
this live stock idea like young ducks
take to water; it is the natural thing to
do and right along the straight road to
the permanent building up of the up-to-
date progressive idea of the independ-
ont farmer of tho South
All our Farmers Unions should be
each in itself a good live stock associa-
ton, and talk more about raising more
and better stock and talk less about
raising more cotton.

iiYoMEI KILLS CATARRH.
It's Healing BaIsams Kill All Catarrhal
Gefms-s-S0ld Under Guarantee.

There is no more common disease
than catarrh, and none that is more
dangerous. 1t weakens and debilitates
the whole system, if it is allowed to
run, leads to serious, and sometimes
fatal complications.
1t is a noteworthy fact that among
the many medicines and treatment for
%catarrh, there is only one which The
l4aurens Drug Co. sell under their
positive guarantee to refund the money
If 1T does not cure, -HyOmei Natures
remedy for the cure of catarrh.

Brcathed through the small pocket in
haler that with every Hyomei
outfit, its healing balsams penetrate to
the most remote cells of the throat,

TROT OR GALLOP?
A Problem For People With Even
Very Sharp Eyes.

Here is n problem for people with
sharp eyes: AS we all know, Il horse
when walking or trotting advances
only one leg of each pair at n time, but
when %galloping lifts both forefcct to-
gether and then both hind feet. Now,
The question is how other animals mani
g this matter. The birds, of course,
flap both wings together, but which
birds run and which hop? We human
beings "trot' when we walk and gal
loD" when we swim-that is, if we are
using the plain breast stroke. The dog,
however, "trots" for both. Now, do
the amphibious animals-the seals, OF
ters and the rcSt-swim like men or
like other -four footed creatures?
Then there are the fish. One would
rather expect that, as they move their
tails from side to side, they would flap
alternately with the fins, which are
their hands and feet. Who can tell
whether they do or not, and whether
all fish at all times follow one rule?
By the way, how does n frog use its
"hands?" The great anatomist, II. Ray
Lancaster, has pointed out that, while
the thousand legs" such as our COM
mon galleyworm, advance two feeC of
a pair together, the ccntipeds, which
are much like them, do exactly the OPP
posite, and the swimming worms also
alternate the stroke of each pair Of
paddles.
Few people can tell on which system
the caterpillar manages it's dozen OF so
legs or whether the adult insect walks,
trDtg nncpa nj. pn1Ipuc ON tic civ HnNu
does the spider use eight? Altogether,
this is n large field for observation, a
field, too, where any one may discover
new facts as yet %unrecorded, and thus
add to the store of knowledge.

Soluble GLASS.

Soluble glass, or water glass, as it
is sometimes called, is an artificial sill
cate of sodium on potassium or Il dou-
bic silicate of both Of these alkalis, and
thus in its essential ingredients the
same as ordinary glass. But ordinary
glass is to II slight extent soluble in
water, owing to the alkali which it
contains, and by varying the proper
ton of the alkaline constituents the
compound becomes readily soluble to
any desired degree. Attention was
first directed to it by Fuchs, IL German
chemist, about 1921. 1t has been used
TO some extent, and quite successfully,
in preventing the decay of stone walls
and cdiiiCcs under the action of the
weather. The surface Is covered with
a coating of Il suitable solution, and,
the water soon cvaporating, n thin,
transparent glaze is left over the stone,
cifcctually protecting it from the dis
intcgrating action of the atmosphere.
Several public buildings in various
parts of the world have been success
fully treated i'm this way.

Charles ShiveIey Has Receiv-
ed Much Encouragement to
Run for Governor.
HIS SUPPORT VOLUNTARY
FRIENDS FROM ALL OVER THE
STATE, 1T is SAID, ARE URGING
RICHMOND MAN TO TRY FOR
THE PLACE.

With two possible aspirants for the
gubernatorial nominations at the
hands of their respective parties,
Richmond is looming up on the polit-
ical horizon of Indiana, despite the
fact that more than two years must
elapse before the gathering of either
party in mass convention to select
their leaders on the State ticket for
1908. Charles E. Shiveley is being
spoken of as a possible candidate for
governor, when the Republican State
convention is held two years hence.
and it's has been known for several
weeks that the Rev. T. III. Kuhn
whose hot chase of Cong 1ssman
Watson in the recent election caused
SO much talk, is being urged by lead
ers in his party to make the try fol-
the nomination of governor.
1t is asserted that Mr. Shiveley's
friends are already at work planning
for his political future in connection
with the gubernatorial plum, and /. al
so is declared that some of the lead
ing Republicans in the State have
voluntarily offered their influence in
his behalf should he enter the con-
test. Once or twice previously, Mr..
Shiveley has been spoken of as a pos
sible candidate for governor and up to
within a few weeks prior to the last
Republican state convention, Mr..
Shiveley was regarded as a candidate
for attorney-general, which nomina
ton his friends declared he could
have received had he not declined to
enter the contest because of pressing
duties in connection with the office of
Supreme Chancellor of the Knights Of
Pythias 1t is said that Mr. Shiveley
now is seriously considering the mat
ter of yielding to the wishes of his
friends and entering the race for gov
ernor, but it is yet too early for pros
pective candidates to formally declare
themselves.

FEEL DOUBLY ENCOURAGED
SINCE RULING OF COURT
Anti Saloon Forces of Richmond May
Now 90 Ahead With Work Already
Accomplished in the Fifth Ward.

Now that the Indiana Supreme
Court has passed upon the validity of
the Moore temperance law, holding
that the blanket remonstrance may
legally be used to GUST saloons from
a certain city ward or township in
any county, the temperance forces
in Richmond and in other cities
where the blanket remonstrance has
been used with a greater or less de-
gree of success, feel doubly encour-
aged to proceed. There were some
misgivings following the action here
some months ago, when a Fifth ward
saloon was knocked out, because of
the belief that the Moore law might
at some time be knocked out by
Supreme Court decision. 1t was hint
ed at the time of the crusade in the
Fifth ward that the temperance for
ces had their eye on one and perhaps
two other wards in the city which
they hoped might be freed of saloons
and 1t is understood that some action
of this sort is likely to be taken up
shortly. The forces which lead in
this movement, however. make no an
nouncement of their purpose until
the remonstrances are in readiness
for circulation.

CONNECTION WITH |. c.
is NOW A POSSIBILITY.
1t is Said That Right of Way From
veyed for Electric Line This Week.

Richmond has special interest in
the proposed electric line between
Connersville and Milton for the rea-
son that if the line is built as now
seems fairly certain, it will give the
Richmond Street and Interurban line
direct connection with the Indianapo-
lis and Cincinnati electric line. Ever
since the Richmond Company built
into Milton the matter of an extension
to Connersville has been under con-
sideration and at one time just pre-
vious to the sale of the local property
to the syndicate that now controls the
several electric lines cennected with
the Indianapolis and Eastern and the
Dayton and Western systems, pre-
parations were to build TO Corners
vile.
Today, according to advices from
Connersville a civil engineer and a
corps of assistants will begin the sur
vey from Connersville to Milton, the
right-of-way VIII be purchased i'm.
mediately thereafter and early next
spring the actual construction will be-
gin. The distance is less than fifteen
miles. This line will form connec
ting link between two systems that
are operated independently of each
other.
