CORN CROP is MAKING
SATISFACTORY PROGRESS
Recent Rains Have Been a Benefit and
The Only Danger Now Lies in
An Early Frost.

Cincinnati, O., Aug. 23-Price Cur
rent says of the grain situation:
The reports concerning crop condi-
tons for the week reflect but little of
unfavorableness in weather conditions.
There has been more rain than was
desired in some localities, which has
continued to retard thrashing opera
tons and is likely to cause some de-
terioration in quality of grain in stack
and shock. The rains, however, were
good for the growing crop, which APP
pears to be making excellent progress
for the most part. The lateness of the
planting has to some extent been ov-
ercome, but a prolonged period this
fall without frost is the feature to be
desired.
There is apparently nothing new to
offer as to the winter wheat crop. 1t
is seemingly turning out up to expecta-
lions. The hay crop was more sat
isfactory than expected earlier.

SNYDER CENTENNIAL
OCCURS At LIBERTY
Thursday Was an important
Day in the History of
Union County.
LARGE CROWD ATTENDED.
THERE WAS MARKED DiSAP-
POINTMENT OVER THE FAIL.
URE or JOAQUIN MILLER, POET,
TO APPEAR.

Liberty, Ind, Aug. 23.-The adver-
tised Snyder Centennial to which a
large majority of the citizens of Union
county have looked forward for
months was held Thursday, the meet
ing being held at the Union county
fair grounds with a crowd of twenty
five hundred people in attendance,
seventy per cent of whom were. relat-
ed by marriage or direct descent from
the four families of pioneers who set
tied in this county one hundred years
ago-the Snyders, Elys, Wits and
Boones. Michael Snyder, of Indiana
polls. the president of the association
has been in Liberty for the past two
weeks and with the Loyal and enthus-
iastic support of host of relatives,
has given his personal attention to
making the meeting a success. For
several days past the members from Il
distance have been arriving on every
train and have been taken to the
homes of friends, but the real crowd
came to town Thursday morning when
every road led to Liberty, and very
few were the Union county farms
which failed to have a representative
at the meeting.
The gathering was to celebrate the
centennial of the settlement in this
county of the Snyder family, Michael
Snyder, the first having settled in
Indiana territory in 1907 near what is
now the prosperous city of Liberty.
This family was closely related to the
Elys, Wits and Boones through inter-
marriage and the four families were
among the first to emigrate to this part
of the country. From them have de-
scended the Crisis, Becks, Pigmans,
Stevens, Immels and numerous others,
all of whom are prominent in the So
cial and business affairs of this coun-
ty. A large number of the pioneer
members of the four original families
served in the Revolutionary war and
the war of 1912.
The morning session opened at
1920, music being furnished by the
Oxford Citizens band. President NJ.
H. Snyder made the opening remarks
and the address of welcome was made
by Geo. w. Pigman. one of the lead
ing attorneys of this section. After
dinner, of which every one brought
his own, making the fair ground look
like one great picnic party, the after
noon session began at o'clock. The
audience was disappointed at the non
appearance of Joaquin Miller. THE
Poet of the Sierras," whose home
coming was one of the main features
of the gathering, but his advanced
age and the great distance from Ore
gon rendered his attendance impos-
sible. w. l.. Taylor of Indianapolis,
also failed to arrive and his place was
taken by Hon. Francis T. Roots Of

1t is the intention of the members to

been effected and will be maintained
with this end in view and the splendid
success of Thursdays meeting has
encouraged those having the event in
charge to anticipate even greater re-
suits at the next annual meeting.

COST OF STOPPING.

According to the calculation Of an
expert the cost of stopping a train
varies from forty-five cents for train
of ten ordinary passenger cars, to
s161 for an express train of heavy
drawingroom cars, four times the
weight of the other. These figures
were for a single set of conditions.
Where there is an upgrade the ex-
pense is more than on a level and
much more than on down-grade.

The Flag.
(By VIM. J. Dawson.)

What means the flag suspended high
The Stars and Stripes to glad the eye?
The summer winds its folds caress,
A breathed prayer our faith confess
1t memory brings of distant days
Meath wintry skies, or summers blaze
Mid shrek of shell, and lannon's roar,
When patriot hands that flag upbore.
II waves today inviting all
The young, the brave. 10 list the call,
To muster in, that flag defend,
To glorys path their footsteps trend;
And over land, and over sea,
Proud bear the banner of the free,
The promise of peoples right,
The symbol of a Nations might
oh star-gemmed flag, baptized in blood.
To save, secure, our Nationhood,
The generations yet unborn
Shall bless the sun of Freedoms morn
When patriot hands uplifted thee;
OH May Gods benediction be
Thine, till GabrieIs trumpet call
To judgment summon mankind all.

James Thomos and James Solues, who

No less a parsonage was chef for

According to the guests who had the
privilege of enjoying the viands that
he prepared, he did honor to the hosts
who entertained and to the Greek
school of cooking as we'll as to himself
1T was truly a unique affair" said
Thomas Knots, president of the town
board, who was one of the guests.
Many of the dishes were Greek to
me, still they were such as to even
tickle the palate of the most discerning
epicure.
The event, which was very elabor-
ate and which was evidently prepared
with no regard for expense. was all the
more remarkable, having been created

Mrs Klopf and the sergeant had a

were as much surprised as the other
guests when the dinner was served
The two hosts did not. however, stop
with an elaborate feast. They had

FALLS OF WATER WAGON.
Shorty Ryan Takes a "LittIe Taste" and

Him From Himself.

Gary, Nov. 23.-(SpeciaD Shorty"
Ryan, who was arrested yesterday on
the charge of drunkenness by the Gary
police, has found his best friend among
the latter and today instead of begin
ming his winter term in the county jail
like he did last year, is staying close
to the police station where he is per
mitted to serve his eleven days and
stay away from temptation. Ryan
just fell off the wagon yesterday after
having been the driver for four months,
and since his resolution had been so
firm during all this time the local pO-
lice believe that after he has served
his sentence he will again take his seat
on the wagon and drive peacefully
along.
Last year he spent the greater part
of the winter in the county Jail, owing
to sentences that he received for being
drunk He was fined five times in sue
cession and only paid the first. For
the other four offenses he received the
limit in each case, and having learned
by experience that the only way fol
him to stay out of the county Jail was
by keeping sober, he 'swore of" unit
yesterday. when he thought that he
would like to get a little taste.

MAY COMPEL SPRAYING
Attorney General so DEGREES
in Cases of Wormy
Fruit Trees

Indianapolis, Ind Nov. 29.-Special.
The state entomologist may compel a
land owner to spray the trees on his
ground. Attorney General Bingham
has so decreed.
In an opinion handed down today the
attorney general says that the re-cn-
actment of nursery legislation by the
last general assembly did not repeal
the old law, which empowered the en-
tomologist to compel land owners to
spray their trees. The opinion was re-
quested by the entomologist, who found
a widespread belief that the new nurs-
cry laws, which say nothing about tree
spraying, repealed the old law, which
made spraying compulsory.
Backed by the attorney generals
opinion, State Entomologist Douglass
will now go forth and compel certain
people who have trees in worm eaten
condition to get busy with their hose
and nozzles

1t is rumored that Heintz. the half
back. has quit the team because of an
argument with Coach Beacon. The
trouble occurred Thursday night and
Heinz has not showed up in uniform
since that time. The story of the ar
fair as related by one OF them, shows
that the coach sprung new play which
Heintz did not take TO very readily.
He refused to work the play and the
coach Immediately told him that If he
wouldn't attempt it he would get
somebody that would. The half back
thereupon left the field Although the
boys feel that they have lost a good
player they would rather have a sec
ond rater than player who will not
subordinate himself to the coach.
All the rest Of the men are working
with desperation and seem determined
TO land the honors. Every night there
has been a squad of about eighteen
men out in suits and the boys feel that
they are in splendid trim TO put up the
