COMP PROM|SE AGREED
ON DESPITE COURT
Long Squabble Over No. 9
School Land Is at Last
Settled.
FIGHT LONG DRAWN OUT.
MRS. MARMoN, OWNER OF LAND
DESIRED BY TOWNSHIPS, RE-
FUSED TO SELL, DELAYING
MATTERS.

Even after the court had disputed
ers in the No. school house squab-
BILE and held that it was not altogether
proper, the affixed valuation of the
land was adopted in the compromise
of the measure agreed upon yesterday
afternoon. The township will pay
ST. $50 for the land and will also OBJ
tain possession of the buildings. Yes
terday was the last day the law al
lowed for the settlement of the mat
ter, unless new proceedings were insti-
tuted 1t is due to this fact more than
any other that different action was
not taken by the court.
The ruling is believed to have set
tied the dispute that originated last
spring, when first it became known
that a new school house was to be
built. The township trustees wanted
to locate the new building directly
east and across the road from the pres
ent structure on the Charles road The
| trustee wished to purchase an acre of
land from Mrs. Marmon for the loca-
tion. She did not wish to sell and
every expedient has been resorted to
since to settle the matter. Mrs. Mar
mon was offered $1,000 for the single
acre but refused. She did not want
the building located there and offered
national road in exchange for the old
| grounds. The trustee and county
superintendent did not wish to place a
school house adjacent to the national
road because of danger to the children
from traction cars.
Mrs Marmon desired several othe,
considerations, If she parted with the
acre desired, among them being the
privilege of maintaining and repairing
a pipe line that crosses the lant
There was also a stipulation in regard
to gate. Finally the trustee peti
toned the court for the appointment
of appraisers. Melville Price, Waite
S. Ratliff and Theodore Martin wer,
named. They suggested the paymen
of S1.150 for the land and permittin,
Mrs. Marmon to retain the buildings
Because Of the fact that the apprais
ers had interviewed the interested par
ties and prepared their report as
compromise nature ano not as
straight appraisement the TOWNSHIP
trustee objected.
The matter was argued out in cour
, yesterday and the court held the ar
praisers had gone beyond their dutie
and held for demanding a new re
port OF appraisement. The Anal solu
tion was agreed upon as compromis
t and to expedite matters. II is now a
most certainty the school house ca
: not be erected in time for the begir
/ ming of the regular school term mex

Beginning the first of next month a
change. will be made in the mail serv-
Ice on the Grand Rapids and Indiana
railroad that will bring about an i'm
provement. A great increase in the
business of the road has resulted from
the exodus to the north of the summer
resorters and also because of the
removal of the stamped envelope con-
tract from the Hartford, Conn, firm
to one at Dayton, Ohio. Great ouanti-
ties of supplies are now sent north
from Dayton and are carried by this
road. Instead of having their quar-
ters restricted to combination mial
express and baggage car the postal
clerks will befurnished with an entire
car. A number of clerks will receive
promotion in order to provide for the
Increased accommodations. Those to
be benefited are: J. w. Smith, NJ. H
Bradley, S. H. Bond and David
Brooks.

IN GIRL s MURDER
Suspicion Fastens Itself Up
on Him.

New York, July 25.-Brooklyn Off
cials who are investigating the killing
of pretty Barbara Rieg, in the Shelter
house of Irving Square park, declared
today that if they did not succeed in
fastening the murder on David Shell
lard the policeman in custody they
would shift the charge against him
to manslaughter.
This is the technical offense for aid
ing and abetting a suicide. Upon con-
viction Shellard could be sentenced to
twenty years and detectives on the
case say he has already told enough
to convict himself.

Urges All State Chairmen Not
To Delay Matters, But Be-
ain to Work Immediately
For Cause.
CHAIRMAN TEACHES
POINTS IN POLITICS.
HITCHCOCK, HOWEVER, GOT A
FEW SUGGESTIONS HIMSELF
DURING CONFERENCE WHICH
WAS HELD IN CHICAGO.

Chicago, July 25.-While w. j.
Bryan was picking out campaign
manager today at the Annex hotel
Frank H. Hitchcock, manager OF the
Taft side of the argument, had the
state chairmen of eight states coralled
In another part of the same building
the political map. Hitchcocks con-
ference was for the middle west
states, with the exception of Arthur
/. Vorys of Ohio national committee
men, state chairmen and state secre-
taries were invited, but only two nat
ional committeeman appeared-E. E.
Hart of Iowa and A. r. Burnham Of
Kentucky.
What the Taft manager tried to i'm
press upon his lieutenants was the i'm
portance of an early organization. He
found two states in a fair condition
Illinois and Indiana, but the others
were shown to be in need of his
guiding hand. The gentlemen who
are considered real leaders in their
own states, were put through a course
of training that showed that they
were in the novice class, from the
national chairman's point of view.
They were given to understand in a
pleasant and perfectly polite, but none
the less firm way that they were ex-
pected to go home and start in on
some real work right away if they
accomplished anything.
Hitchcock interviewed his lieuten-
ants in a bunch at first 1t was when
he had them all together that he laid
down the general law of political Or
ganization as he understands it.
Must Organize.
The state leaders were told they
are not to wait until September nol
until it is known what faction wins
out at the primaries or state conven
tions, but to begin their organizing
"Organize now and do it thoroughly,
was the Hitchcock dictum. Have ev
cry precinct canvassed and poll books
ready by the time headquarters are
opened If possible. Get the club;
working and all that sort of thing
but most of all. to do it now.
The national chairman got one OF
two new ideas on organization him
self. One that espe cially pleased hin
came from Nebraska. 1t was propos
ed by Chairman Hayward of the
state committee and is to be accepted
genrally. espe cially outside the bis
cities. The system is the card indie,
applied to politics, and the claim fo
1t is that 1t will make politics al
much a science and as certain as an,
business can be. The scheme is t,
give every voter in a township O
county, card in the general indie,
showing his residence, his politics, hi
business his nationality and his re
ligion possibly If the voter change
any of his affiliations 1t can be note
on the card and the general informa

WILLIAM \. TAFT
PROVES A HERO
Rescues Tiny Tot From Be-
meath Wheels of Engine
In Cincinnati.
OWN LIFE ENDANGERED.
WHEN MATTER WAS MENTIONED
TO CANDIDATE, LATER, HE
SAID THAT HE HAD DONE MOTH
ING MORE THAN HIS DUTY.

Cincinnati, July 25.-William H.
Taft, the republican nominee for pres
ident saved life the first thing upon
his arrival in Cincinnati today, and
he risked his own life doing so. But
for his quick eye and ready response
a two-year-old flaxen haired tot
would have been ground to death be-
meath the wheels of an engine.
Taft had just climbed down from a
Big Four train at the Grand Central
long train shed arm in arm with his
editor brother when he snatched the
tot from in front of B. Il o. engine
on an adjoining track.
A woman and her baby were hur-
riedly. climbing aboard a Pullman car
attached to another train as Taft got
abreast of the vestibule. The little
one turned to see the big candidate
and the mother was looking in that
direction too, and so was the Pullman
porter at the steps. The tot lost her
balance and rolled to the cement floor
of the train shed and upon the tracks
in front of the B. & o. train that was
just pulling out. Taft saw it, leapcd
| upon the track and grabbed the child.
| He held her close to him for a second
and as the tiny mouth puckered at
| finding herself in strange arms he
| handed her over to the astonished
mother. He said nothing, but as the
mother clasped the little one to her
breast and hurried into the train for
New York, there was a look of thank
| fulness in her eyes which could not be
expressed in words. Her name was
not learned.
| Taft Is Modest.
Taft made no reference too the in
cident, but when it was brought to his
mind at the Taft home afterwards
he waved his interrogation with a
smile. ''It was. nothing more than a
mans duty toward 4 helpless fellow
being and l would rather you would
not say anything about it." he said
In so far as I can comprehend. there
was no particular call for bravery anc
do not think my life was in very
great danger"

Union and Fayette counties in this
state and Preble county, Ohio, to at
tend the meeting. These invitations

the public roads bureau, agricultural
department, to attend this meeting
and to address the road officials on
the subject, How to Build and Main.
tain Good Roads" Mr.. Eldridge is
regarded as an authority on the sub
ject and his address will be of the ut.
most importance. 1t is quite probable
that there will be a large representa-.
tion of officials from all the counties
asked to be represented at this meet
ing. There are about eighty road Of
ficials in Wayne county. The other
counties, which are smaller than this
county, have between thirty and such
officers.
Works for Good Roads.
The United States government is
now engaged in an active campaign
for good roads. To stimulate this
movement Uncle Sam has threatened
to withdraw rural mail service where
the roads on the various routes are ii
bad condition. Through this policy
the government has awakened the rur
al public to the necessity of having
good roads and a campaign to edu
cate the public how to build anc
maintain such roads is being waged
The government hopes to have th'
roads of this country within the mex
| few years compare favorably with thu
splendid public roads of Europe.
Postmaster Spekenhier anticipate
that there will be over one hundred

Demand For Milk Created.

A large portion of the impurities
which find their way into milk are
brought to it at milking time. If the
cows are not cleaned or brushed Just
before milking, more or less loose
hair and dirt fails into the milk pail.
This can be entirely prevented by
brushing and then washing and dry
ing the cows udder just before milk
ing. In dairies where sanitary milk
that does not sour for several days is
produced, the cows udder is always
washed and dried Immediately before
she is milked; the mixer then washes
his hands, puts on white suit and
milks into a covered milk pail pro-
vided with only a small opening in
the cover to milk into.
Careful work of this kind protects
the milk from many impurities and
1t increases the consumers desire
for more milk when he knows that
such precautions are taken against
impurities getting into the milk.
Many people undoubtedly would want
milk to drink if they felt a greater
confidence in the purity of the milk
than they now have. Their knowl-
edge in a general way of the barn
conditions where many cows are
milked is not apt to increase their
desire for milk.-Weekly Witness.

II You Are Lost in the Woods.

Let the man who is lost in the
woods be very careful not to overex-
ert himself. His chief dangers lie
in panic and oXer-exertion, and,
though he may be in a great hurry
to find shelter, l must warn him to go
slowly. Two miles an hour, on an
average, through the snow in the
woods, is all that a man in his con-
dition will be able to stand without
overfatigue and its attendant dan
gers, overheating and perspiration,
By exercising caution, may may live
through a week of what he IS under
going. To make this article brief,
however, we shall suppose that he re-
gains the road by the afternoon of
the first day. He doesn't yet know,
of course, Just where he is. He
should examine the tracks of the per-
son who last passed that way. 1t
being afternoon, he must follow in
the direction taken by the last pass
ing vehicle or team, as shelter will be
nearest in that direction. Had 1t
been morning he would have taken the
opposite direction, as whoever made
the tracks must have come from the
place where he obtained shelter the
previous night.-Outing Magazine.

Sheen That Paid Well.

Some time ago an old sheep grower
of Illinois, said in an address on
sheep: my sheep have gained from
start of feeding to finish, eight to ten
pounds of mutton per bushel of corn,
while the gain Of my cattle runs from
seven to eight pounds. And my hogs
eat corn while my sheep eat grass,
and only little corn to start lambs
and finish them. And | find from my
shipping bills for twenty-five years
that the average price received for
my stock in Chicago during that per-
iod has been $4.93 per 100 pounds
for sheep, $4.S6 for steers and S4.S5
for hogs. And all were good animals.
These figures convince me that the
sheep are, In general, the most profit
able stock on the farm, especially on
thin and high lands. But keep none
but the best Of whatever breed you
have. They will pay when poor ones
lose. Sheep are easy to handle and
easy to retain in an inclosure that
would not hold other stock, and are
the best weed destroyers on the farm
Taking all things into consideration,
the sheep has much to commend it to
the farmer. Weekly Witness.

ing a precarious business. Some
would-be turkey raisers make the
mistake of selling the old turkey
hens. These should be kept, for the
older they are, the more sense they
have. Old turkey hens may be kept
for ten years.
If healthy birds can be obtained
the owner may reasonably expect fair
returns for the time and money ex-
pended, but many of the birds are un-
healthy, and If they or their eggs
are bought the little turkeys are
weak and diseased from birth. Some
times the flock is all right till half
grown, when one by one they droop
and die, and this is more discouraging
than to have them die when young,
as it is no small task to raise the deli
cate fowls. A few years ago we had
seven fine little turkeys that appar-
entity were perfectly healthy when
shut in one night. They were nearly
a month old and we thought them out
of danger, but in the morning every
one was dead. The coop stood on a
clean plot of grass and they were
not killed by any animal, so we never
knew why they died.
Eight or ten years ago turkeys
could be bought for rine and ten
cents pound in the market here,
and poultry wagons came in loaded
with them at Thanksgiving and
Christmas time from all directions.
The turkeys that then brought from
one dollar and half to two dollars
are now worth from three to five and
Very scarce at that. In looking over
advertisements for turkey eggs in
poultry journals the prices run from
thirty to fifty cents for single egg,
and this may be one reason why so
few are raised.-Margaret Whitney.

Pointers or Hens.

From the time the chick is hatched,
correct feeding has much to do with
its development. A chick that is
stunted is more or less impaired in
vitality. Anything that has to do
with improper management of the
intended layers affects the number
of eggs they will be able to produce.
l think a hen can lay from 400 to
600 eggs at profit, but her greatest
profit is returned from the time she
begins to lay until twelve months
have elapsed. The first years laying
is invariably the best.
Leghorns and Minorcas can be kept
until they are two and one-half years
old with profit. Quite number of
poultry raisers have told me that they
thought hens would return almost as
much the second year as the first,
even If they did not lay quite so
many eggs. They eat far less in their
second year, being matured. A pull
let is always more voracious than a
hen. 1 do not think that they re-
turn as much profit in the second
year; however, always keep my hens
until they are two years old.
Chicks intended for layers must be
well nourished from birth and never
allowed to stop growing until they
mature. A March or April hatched
pullet of the Leghorn breed will COM
mence to lay in October if she comes
from precocious flock. If she has
been hatched in June or July, do not
expect any eggs until January. In
cold climates this means no eggs,
practically, until spring. A pullet
that has not commenced to lay before
cold weather is usually hard to coax.
Early matches and continued good
care is the secret of early layers and
hearty fowls.-Commercial Poultry.

earthquakes as Warnings.

The belief that earthquakes are
signs or warnings owes its origin In
part to prophecies in the Bible,
where, for example, we read that
"there shall be famines and pesti-
lences and earthquakes" as portend-
ing future calamities. Earthquakes
have led to the abolition of oppres
sive taxation, the abolition of mas
querades, the closing of theaters and
even to the alteration of fashion. A
New England paper in 1927 tells us
that considerable town in this
providence has been awakened by the
awful providence in the earthquake
that the women have generally laid
aside their hooped petticoats." Ma
