BUMPER CROPS
NOW EXPECTED
Reports to Wayne County Hor-
ticuIturaI Society Are
Favorable.
SOME FRUITS A FAILURE.
THIS is LARGELY DUE TO THE
COLD IN EARLY sPRING-SOCiE-
TY WILL PICNIC WITH CONNER
CIAL CLUB.

The crops and fruits of Wayne coun-
ty are at the present time in excellent
condition and this year promises to be
banner one from an agricultural
standpoint in this county.
This pleasing state of affairs was
announced yesterday afternoon at a
meeting held by the Wayne County
Horticultural society. 1t waE stated
that all crops, especially wheat, corn
and hay, were in prime condition and
that the harvest next fall would
bring thousands of dollars into the
pockets of the Wayne county farmers,
The fruit conditions are highly sat
isfactory. Every class of fruit. except
apples and cherries, will yield full
crop. Apples this year are a failure.
They suffered greatly from the cold
spell in the early spring and are rapid
ly dropping off the trees. There is
only about a half a crop Of cherries
but what cherries there are on the
trees, are in good condition. The loss
of half the cherry crop is also due to
the cold weather of the early spring.
At the afternoon session of the So
ciety an invitation from the Rich
mond Commercial club, inviting the
members of the society to attend a
picnic which will be given by the
Commercial club next month. was
read and accepted. The picnic will
be held at Glen Miller park.
Mrs. Matte King addressed the
members of the society and spoke in
terestingly of her recent visit to Italy
and of the audience she had with the
Pope.

DESIRE TO HAVE
NEW RATE MADE
Thought Fire Insurance In

The City Injustice.
COMMITTEE MAKES APPEAL
DESIRED THAT MANUFACTURE
CONCERNS AND BUSINESS MEN
FURNISH DATA ON WHICH AC-
TON CAN BE TAKEN.

In an Effort to have the manufacture
ing and mercantile establishments of
this city re-rated by the Indiana Fire
Insurance Inspection Bureau, the spe-
cial committee on fire insurance, re-
Gently appointed by President John f..
Mccarthy of the Commercial club, has
assist in this movement by supplying
the committee with data on the form
er insurance rates on their establish
ments, the rate they now have to pay
and the amount of insurance they car
ry.
By securing these figures the COM
mittee will be in position to work
with a thorough understanding on the
task that it has assumed. AS local
business men are vitality interested in
securing a reduction of fire insurance
rates in this city, it is expected that
they will respond to the appeal of the
Commercial club committee.
Letter Sent Out.
The committee has addressed letters
to the business men of the city. This
letter is in part as follows.
The City of Richmond has recently
been inspected by the Indiana Inspec-
ton Bureau, and it is the understand
ing of the committee that there have
been many increases in the rate on
manufacturing establishments. We
are informed that the new Dean SEIZED
ule only applies to mercantile risks and
therefore, of course, does not. apply to
manufacturing establishments. There
are also large increases reported in
mercantile houses.
In order that this committee may
possibly do some work with intelli-
gence, we would be glad, indeed, if you
would Immediately address E. M.
Haas, secretary of the Commercial
club. giving him the rate on your es-
Enlistment prior to the recent
change, and also give him the present
rate and also advise Mr.. Haas of the
amount of insurance you carry.
When this information is received
and tabulated. the committee hopes to
take some action that may possibly
cause this city to be re-rated. And
any information, detailed or otherwise
that you can give to this committee, in
reference to the insurance on your
plant or any other plant, or any COM
PARSONS, will be greatly appreciated.

FOR GOOD ROADS
Good Roads Congress Desires
To Send a Speaker to
This County.
COMMISSIONERS TO ACT.

The board of county commission
ers has been notified by a represen-
tative of the Good Roads congress,
that it would like to send a represen-
tative to this county for the purpose
of delivering a public address. The
commissioners are appealed 10 as the
proper authority to support such a
move owing to their familiarity with
the road conditions in the county. 1t
is probable the board will accept the
offer and make arrangements for the
meeting.
The Good Roads congress takes this
method of informing the general pub
lie of the country in regard to what
is to be gained by good roads through
out the country. Ii Is campaign OF
education. The many advantages of
good roads will be enumerated and
the speaker will endeavor to con-
vince his hearers that every township,
county and state will derive beneficial
results by keeping its public high
ways in condition. As the rule the
roads In Europe are far in advance of
those in America. 1t is claimed by
authorities on the subject that the
American system of road improve
ment is to blame for the poor roads.

not employed and repairs often work
to the disadvantage of the perpetuity

MEN REMAINED ON
MONITOR FLORIDA
Fact That Boat Was to Be
Torpedoed Did Not Worry
Them at All.
OFFICIALS SEE THE TEST.
IT WAS DECIDEDLY THE MOST
SPECTACULAR EVER WIT
MESSED IN NAVAL cIRcnEs OF
THIS COUNTRY.

Norfolk, Va, June 13.-Braving the
dangers of possible injury of a cold
plunge in the waters of Hampton
Roads, a score of naval officials re
manned on the monitor Florida when
that vessel was torpedoed off Sewall's
Point in Hampton Roads Saturday.
Sending an immense column of water
hurting % feet in the air war torpedo
carefully aimed by Lieutenant j. V.
Babcock, commanding the torpedo
boat Morris, exploded with terrific
force against the Florida's side.
The Florida, although her bulkheads
were not pierced, settled gradually in.
Shortly before noon she was towed
back to the Norfolk navy yards
where she will be placed in dry dock,
and 1t is expected will be pumped dry
Immediately. A careful examination
will then be made to determine the
exact extent of the damage.
The test was witnessed by Secretary
of War Taft, Secretary of the Navy
Metcalf and the postmaster general,
who came down on the presidents
yacht, the Mayflower. Immediately
after the explosion they went on board
the Florida to look around and see
what the extent of the damage was.
Secretary Metcalf was gratified with
the test SO far as he knew and declared
that no further power tests of a similar
nature would be made. Never was
such a spectacular sight witnessed in
YIo,, }N,, IL,
boats were gathered in a semi-circle
back of the torpedo boat Morris, which
marked the danger line. AS the prep
arations for the firing were completed
everyone literally raised himself on
the tiptoe of expectancy. With cool
heroism, the party on board the Flori-
da got under cover in the rear cabin
and awaited the result. There was a
moment of silence while the Florida
signalled that all was ready One
moment of suspense. then Chief Gun
ner's mate Chas. Balliwan pulled the
trigger. Leaving a trembling wake of
white that showed clearly its progress,
the torpedo went straight to the Flor
ida's hull. There was deep detona-
ton and a cloud of water and smoke
rose skyward. For a moment the
Florida was hidden: Pieces of her
hull and bits of the torpedo rained
down for several minutes, covering an
area of 1000 yards. The Florida set
tied slowly. The water was discolor-
ed and the air had an ammoniated
smell. In few seconds the test was
over and the official party scattered.

A TERRIFIC STORM
City EnveIoped in Worst Battle
Of Elements in Many
Months Saturday.
ELECTRICITY CUTS ANTICS.

Preceded by single flash of light
ming and tremendous clap OF thun-
der, terrific wind and rain storm
broke over the city at about o'clock
yesterday afternoon. The intensity of
the lightning discharge was felt
strongest in West Richmond Many
persons who were outdoors at the time
received slight shocks. Iron poles and
hitching posts spanked with red and
blue fire and all electric wires vibrat-
ed until they hummed No particular
damage was done, however.
The wind hurled great clouds of dust
about the streets of the city and for
few minutes the uptown districts re-
sembled western Nebraska during G.
dust storm. The rain descended in
torrents soon afterward and continued
intermittently until near o'clock.
The sky cleared and gave indications
of good weather. The government pre-
dictions weret for thunderstorms and
showers in Indiana today. Farmers
stated the rain will be beneficial to
farm products and fruits.

CONSIDER ACCESSIBILITY
OF REPEATING PLAY
Farce on Merchant Made De-
Cided Hit.

The Seniors CT the high school are
considering the ACCESSIBILITY of repeat
ing their class play, which scored a
success at the high school last We'd
nesday morning. The play was a farce
on the Merchant of Venice and made
quite a hit. If the play is repeated
it will be for the benefit of the other
high school students who did not get
TO attend at the first performance. The
members OF the cast have also been
asked by schools in several neighbor-
ing towns. TO repeat the play. 1t is
considered best by the class that the
play should not be given out of Rich
mond.
If possible. the seniors will give
their play next week for the benefit
OF their friends who failed TO see it.

According to an amendment OF
the postal regulation which went
into effect January 1, publishers
of magazines and newspapers
will be required TO secure re-
newals of their subscrlpuio
within certain specified periods.
Otherwise copies sent to sub
ScriberS who have not renewed
their subscriptions will be charg
ed 'or at the regular second class
transient rates of one cent for
each four ounces, to be paid by
stamps affixed. The right of a
subscriptions is not questioned
or denied, but his compliance
with the regulation will be con-
sidered in determining whether
the publication is entitled to
second class postal rates This
regulation affects publications
now being sent free in the coun-
ties where they are published
in just the same way as that
The periods allowed in which to
secure renewals vary with the
frequency with which the publ
cations are sent out. Daily news
papers are allowed three months,
tri-weeklies, six months, semi
WeeklleS, nine months, and
weeklies one year. The object
of the amendment is to eliminate
from the second-rate class all
publications which are sent out
primarily for advertising pur
poses. Many publications are
issued solely for advertising, and
their publisher sends out hun
dreds of copies, the subScrip-
tions for which they never at
tempt to collect, in order to be
able to show to their advertising
customers a large circulation list.
Publications which have a le-
gitimate subscription list and
are evidently not issued for ad-
vertising purposes, will be read
lily accepted at the second class
rate, provided their subscrip-
tions are kept up. The publish
ers have the right to fix the
prices of their papers and offer
such inducements as they may
see fit to enable them to secure
subscribers, but these methods
will be carefully considered in
regard to the legitimacy of the
subscription list and the primary
design of the publication.
