GOSPEL OF SEED CORN IS
PREACHED FROM TRAIN
c. p. benjamin of Crown Point one of
the Lecturing STAG Which is Touring
the State.

c. B. Benjamin of Crown Point has
been appointed as a member of the
staff which is making a tour of the
state on what is known as the Seed
Corn Gospel Train" The train started
on it's tour yesterday and will go over
the different divisions of the Lake Erie
and Western railroad. The train is
sent out by the Purdue experiment sta
ton and the Indiana Corn Growers
association. The purpose of the en-
terprise is to give seed corn experts
an opportunity to deliver lectures to
the farmers of Indiana on how to Sc
lect and care for seed corn.
The experts who will talk to the
farmers of Indiana and distribute bull
letins containing valuable information
are Professors Wiancko, Christie and
Fisher of Purdue university, and D. F.
Maish of Frankfort, J. p Davis of
Sheridan, r. A. Coleman or Rushville,
and c. P. Benjamin of Crown Point.
Much as Lake county farmers would
be interested in the lectures that are
to be given from the train, it will not
be possible for them to hear them as
the train will not enter this county.
The special arrived at La Porte last
night, but no lectures were given until
| this morning.

commerce commission has ruled that
they are not bonafde employees of rail
roads and, under the new law, cannot

This decision of the commission was
rendered at conference in Washing

Railway officials are much depressed
BY the decision, as they declare it will
greatly retard the development of the
sparsely settled sections of the west
southwest and northwest.
1t has been the practice of railroads
particularly in the southwest and
northwest to give passes good for from
one month to year to promoters OF

the railroads want them. Each bic

year to do this work but free trans

CHICAGO LETTER.

Chicago, Nov. 14-Wheat-Nerv-
BUSINESS was the principal feature in
this market today although prices did
not have a wide range of fluctuations.
The bull operators had the better of
the argument at the close. North
western houses We're the largest
buyers all during the session and the
belief prevails that they are covering
short contracts. The cash product is
in better demand and at higher prices.
The market closed strong at the high
prices of the day.
CORN-Dull, but firm. Reports OF
new corn were light and induced quite
a little speculative buying. Cash corn
in the sample market was quoted one
half cent higher Export demand re-
ported better. The market closed q
shade higher than yesterday.
OATS-Steady with a light trade
fluctuations only a quarter of a cent
during the entire session. Trade en-
tirely professional Export demand i'm
proving. The market closed steady to

DON'T FORGET CALUMET.

A Chicago exchange says, The deep
waterway convention which is to be
held in ST Louis Thursday and Friday
for the purpose of formulating plans
to be presented to congress showing
the desires of the people Of the Missis-
sippi valley will be attended by dele
cation representing the Chicago Com
mercial association.
OF course the list includes the names
of many prominent Chicagoans and it
is not strange that it does not include
the name Of one representative Of the
Calumet region In Indiana although it
has a population of nearly $4,000 peo-
pie and three harbors and a river that
deserves the attention of congress.
The Chicago delegation will work
very hard for increased appropriations
for their stuffy little harbor and South
Chicago will doubtless be remembered
when the rivers and harbors appropria-
ton is made but Hammond, Whiting
East Chicago. Indiana Harbor and Gary
will have to walt.
Some time ago John B. Mailing OF
East Chicago made the suggestion that
there ought to be an organization OF
business men with representatives
from every city in Northern Lake coun-
ty who would meet. say. once a month
and discuss the questions that are 81
interest and vital concern to the people
of this end of the country as a whole.
The idea is a good one and If such
an organization existed today there
would be a committee on drainage APP
pointed to confer with the members OF
the Chicago drainage board in regard
TO securing the cooperation Of the state
of Indiana in furthering the project II
this state. When it came to securing
an appropriation for the dredging o.
the river or the buildings of one tn,
several harbors in this region another
delegation could approach Congressman
Crumpacker and as the Representative,
Of $4,000 Of his constituents he coult
doubtless be persuaded to take activ,
steps toward securing desired appro
priations.

for with adequate harbor facilities 10

region would be without PRECEDENT

NEW YORK LETTER.

New York Nov I4-Shorts in st.

day and it was of a more severe ma
ture than yesterday. From the opening
OF the market until the close. st. Paul
was the pronounced leader from the
opening price around 176 it scared
steadily until the tape showed 1S41
representing an advance of over ten
points in two days. The action of this
stock during the past few days shows
concIusively that some very influential
interests are accommodating this stock
for a purpose. Furthermore, there
evidently is a large short interest
rumors were to the effect that one OF
the prominent Western operators had
| oversold his stock
The entire market today was strong
broader and higher for every active
stock on the list.
IN anticipation of relief to the money
market by Secretary Shaw, stocks are
being bought in large blocks and in 2
measure discounting the forthcoming
monetary assistance.
Union Pacific, Southern Pacific, Cop

leaders. The two Hartman issues
scored advances of about two points
each; Reading two and one-half anc

EASY DUPEs.

A lawyer said of the late AL Adams
in New York:
Mr.. Adams was very honest and up
right with his friends. He treated his
friends far better than many a ven
Grated churchgoer 1 could name. And
If he frankly admitted that he dupeu
the public-why. if all who duped the
public were sent TO prison for it our
jails would have to be enlarged.
Like Barnum Mr.. Adams claimed
that the public liked 10 be fooled. AS
an example of the ease ii could be
fooled with he used to tell a story
about calendar vendor.
This vendor, one wintry day, enter
ed a cafe and said to a man who was
reading newspaper and drinking hot
lemonade:
Won't you buy a calendar sir? The
New Year is close at hand
No, I don't want a calendar the
man answered slipping his lemonade i'm
patiently.
But the vendor persuaded him to
buy one. and he ordered it to be de-
livered to his wife at a house on the
next square.
Going to this house the vendor SAID
to his wife:
Your husband. madam. sent me
from the cafe on Exc street with this
calendar. which he wishes you to buy
for his desk
The lady paid a quarter for the
twice-sold calendar and the reckless
vendor returned to the cafe where her
husband sat
While he was trying to make more
sales there the husband went home
heard of the trick that had been played
on his wife and him and ringing up his
butler said furiously:
Go down to the cafe at once and
bring up the calendar vendor you'll
find there.
The butler went to the cafe found
the vendor busy with customer and
delivered his message. But the ven
dor. handing out another calendar, said
oh, 1 know what you boss wants
He wants a calendar. Have you got g
quarter? 1t will save me the trip up.
Yes: here you are said the butler
and, taking the calendar with one hanC
and extending the quarter with the
other, he hurried back home"

Coach Luck of DePauw is working
hard to get his proteges in shape for
the battle with Wabash. which will
be fought at Charlottesville next Sat
urday. Exhaustive workouts are being
experienced by the men every after
noon on McKeen field, and the little
coach thinks that by Saturday his men
will be in better condition than at
any other time this season. They will
be in better shape than when they
faced Indiana. and the team is anxious
to hold the score much lower than the
one which Indiana piled up against
them. 1t is known that Wabash will
make an attempt to make the score
larger than the Indiana one, so that
the dope" might favor them for the
state championship.
This is what the Methodists viii
