A PRACTICAL DITCHER.
Sunnyside Parties Have Machine
Which Does the Work.

II NJ Lichty of Sunnyside was at
the fair last week representing the
Gilpatrick Ditching company. He
found many interested listeners ow-
ing to the fact that the company In
which he is interested has patented
dredging machine that is simple
and practical and especially adapted
for work in the soils of the Yakima
valley.
The large dredger Is capable Of
making a ditch six to seventeen feet
wide and three to nine feet deep. It
moves forty cubic yards of dirt per
hour and will work In mud, gravel
or hardpan. Three men and boy
do the work. with a gasoline engine
for power.
The company has one machine In
active service in the Sunnyside dis
triet and has done some marvellous
work with It. Government engineers
have pronounced the dredger the
most practical they have seen for a
country like this The company is
looking forward to securing con-
tracts for drainage work in the Mox

Earache ana rs cure.

Il am afraid have greatly interfered
with my own practice" said a celebrat-
ed aurlst, 'by giving the following adj
vice to many of my friends: At the first
symptoms of earache let the patient lie
on the bed with the painful ear upper
most. Fold a thick towel and tuck it
around the neck; then with teaspoon
I'll the ear with warm water. Continue
doing this for fifteen or twenty min
utes. The water will fill the ear orifice
and flow over on the towel. Afterward
turn over the head, let the water run out
and plug the ear with warm glycerin
and cotton. This may be done every
hour until relief is obtained. 1t is an
almost invariable cure and has saved
many cases Of acute inflammation. The
water should be quite warm, but not
too hot"

What Shall I Do About It?

The police are continually being
called upon to settle some petty neigh
borhood quarrel and an example of
the manner in which the police are re-
lied upon to straighten out these
tangles occurred this morning.
A woman on Indiana avenue called
up on the phone this morning and in
formed Desk Sergeant See that some
one had cut the clothesline upon which
her wash was drying, causing the
whole thing to fall to the ground She
wanted an officer to go out on the
case at once, but See informed her that
she would have to go before a justice
of peace and swear out a warrant
against the alleged offender before the
police could do anything.
We'll what are you going to do
about it?" asked the woman.
Five minutes had not elapsed when
another woman called up and said that
one of her boarders had jumped his
board bill.
What are you going to do about it?"
asked the woman and Charley See had
to make the same old explanation.

was established for the May option

appearance of renewed crop damage

green bugs is said to be very serious,
prices rallied sharply. showing a gain
from the low prices of a cent a bushel.
Liverpool markets were again lower.
Cash demand disappointing at all of the

closed with a strong undertone at
practically the highest prices of the
session.
CORN-A broader market than that
of yesterday. The May option which is
the ruling speculative one at present
had range of almost a cent a bushel
for the day. The bull crowd seem to
have the May option we'll in hand and
support it on every dip. Shorts in
this future seem to show some anxiety

NEW YORK LETTER.

New York, March 21.-The decision
by the directors of the Erie company
to abandon the idea of issuing short
time notes to secure capital to better
the equipment, was construed as
bearish factor. This announcement
was instrumental in causing a break
in all OF the Erie shares. The COM
mon stock was exceptionally weak and
recorded a new low record on the pres
ent depressing movement. Later,
however, the market for these shares
regained part of the decline. 1t was
argued that this decision was very op-

ton of the money market at present
The general stock market ruled

Union Pacific and Reading was larger
than any OF the other active nigh

advance of four points from the early

both closing at the highest prices of
the session. The Hill shares, both

Uses For So1n-

Wash hairbrushes in strong tepid
soda water, then rinse we'll in clear
cold water and place in the air out of
sunlight to dry.
Add a speck of soda when cooking
beans or any vegetable which seems
tough, and the cooking process is quick
ened.
A little soda will counteract the acid
ity of sour fruits as they are cooking,
and less sugar will be required to
sweeten them.
For cleaning paint before repainting
use two ounces Of soda to one quart Of
cold water. Afterward rinse of with
clear cold water.
In using soda with cream of tartar
allow one level teaspoonful Of soda
to two rounding teaspoonfuls OF cream
of tartar for each quart of flour,
Soda should be pulverlzed and care
fully measured whenever it is used in
cooking, as it is powerful alkali,
which must be used with discretion
and accuracy.
Add a little soda when stewing q
fowl to make the flesh more tender.

Extra Session

The Lafayette Journal declares that
1T is not among the optimists that be-
lieve Governor Hanly has given up his
extra session scheme. The Journal
maintains that Hanly still cherishes
the hope of securing enough votes to
put through some of his pet measures
and that he will issue a call for an
extra session the moment he thinks he
sees a hope of winning. Governor
Hanly may be erratic and pulled up,
but it is difficult to believe that he
would go to the extreme of conveying
an extra session OF the Legislature. He
struggled with this temptation last
week, and the disagreeable truths
which he ELECTED from the press of
the state will no doubt be sufficient to
hold him for a while."-Fort Wayne

a humane society to wear or carry
a badge and practically to compel
the action Of a constable or police
officer for the relief of any animal
that is being cruelty treated and
imposes a penalty for the refusal
of an officer to perform his duty
in this regard. This new Iegisla-
ton should give an Impulse to the
organization throughout the state
of local branches of the American
society for the Prevention of
Cruelty to Animals. The subject
] commends itself to all right-minded
people, and yet, while almost
everybody approves of it in prin-
ciple, comparatively few are help

ought to be a branch of the parent
society in every considerable town
in Indiana with a membership and
fund sufficient to enforce the law"

WITH THE EDITORS.
Cruelty to Animals.

Tho last session of the Legislature
passed a very important law, which
concerns cruelty TO animals. The
statute is made broader. 1t reads:
It shall be the duty of all sher-
ifs. deputy sheriffs. constables,
policemen and public officers to
arrest and prosecute all persons
of whose violation of the provi-
sions of this act they may have
knowledge or be credibly inform
ed, or to which their attention is
called by any officer or member
of any organized humane society
of the state, who shall at the
time exhibit to them an official
badge of such society, or other
evidence of his official standing
or membership therein; and for
evidence of his official standing
each neglect or refusal to per-
form such duty, the officers so Of
Tending shall be deemed guilty of
a misdemeanor, and. upon con-
viction shall be fined in any sum
not exceeding s25.

thorizes any officer or member of

MAY DO SOME GOOD.

While it is unfortunate that after
the vicissitudes through which the
Orndorf bill found it's way to becom-
ing law, the measure has been to a
large extent invalidated by the omis-
sion of so important a clause as that
which should name penalty for it's
violation, it is a question whether the
measure has altogether lost its force
for good by reason of the oversight.
The bill is that which was aimed at
high school fraternities of a secret
character especially, which have been
hampering the school authorities
throughout the state in their work.
While Hammond's schools have escaped
the menace of these foolish organiza-
tions Hammond is nevertheless inter
ested in the merits of the law and dis
appointed that it's aims should be
thwarted to any extent either inten-
tionally or accidentally.
There is no disputing the fact that
the law as it stands cannot be enforc-
ed in the strict sense of the word.
However, it's requirement which pro-
vides for the expulsion of children who
persist in affiliating with the objection
able fraternities, will doubtless be the
means of breaking up great number
of the organizations Principals and
school superintendent will take ad-
vantage of this requirement, even while
recognizing the fact that once ex-
PEELED, the law is inadequate to fur
ther punish the offender. If such a
course is adoted the baneful societies
will soon become so obnoxious to par
ents that they will be quite likely to
take a firm stand and refuse to allow
their children to be members.

The decline in gilt-edged bonds has
not forced a severe loss in some direc-
tions, but those considerations are not
regarded as vital menace to the near
future of the market which may be in
fuenced by a return of confidence bas-
ed on the fact that a certain degree Of
federal control is now practically ad-
mitted to be acceptable to railway in
terests as a defense against state legis-
lation. which would be uneaqual in ap-
plication to interstate business. Most
things point to a better market today.
