walked along the bank carrying pole

Tossing the hook end Of the pole into
the stream. he turned it SO that the

gently drew the pole back and forth.

u. B. Annual Conference.

The United Brethren" a paper
published at South Bend by Rev.
kesSinger says:
The Annual Conference will
convene in Bourbon Sept. 8 at 8
a. m. The congregation at that
place are already beginning to
make preparations to entertain
the crowds that will attend. The
Art building at the fair grounds
has been secured for a dining
hall, and will doubtless prove
large enough to accommodate
everybody. We saw Mr.. Van
Curen, the champion cook of the
state, in Plymouth recently, and
he is assisting Pastor Luke and
people in planning for the great
event. 1t is hoped that every lay
delegate and all his friends will
participate in the feast of spiritu-
al and other good things. The
good people of Bourbon welcome
you, and Burt Harris will pre-
sent you with the keys of the city
when you arrive.

DIR. HURTY ON
SUN STROKE
HEAT STROKE AND SUN
STROKE DIFFER, STATES
HEALTH OFFICER
ONE MILD. OTHER
is ANG-
EROUS.

Upon the timely subjects of
sun and heat-stroke, DR.. ]. N.
Hurry, state health officer, says
there is decided difference be-
tween sun and heat strokes.
Sun-stroke may cause instan-
taneous death. Usually, in this
latitude sun-stroke comes on
with pain in the head, dizziness,
feeling of oppression, and
sometimes nausea and vomiting.
Insensibility follows which may
be transient or may deepen into
profound coma. The fever is in
tense, the skin hot and dry, the
temperature ranging from 107 to
112 degrees. There is a complete
relaxation of the muscles, the
breathing is labored and deep.
When all or most of the above
symptoms exist, death may occur
within twenty-four or thirty-six
hours.i Favorable indications
are the return of consciousness
and a fall of the fever.
Heat-stroke is very much mild
er than sun-stroke and has some
different symptoms. Uncon-
sciousness never occurs, the tenn
perature generally becomes SUBJ
normal, or in instances may rise
a little, skin is moist, pale and
cool, the breathing is rapid but
easy, the pulse is small and soft
and there is prostration and the
vital forces fall into a temporary
collapse.
Treatment: In heat-stroke
stimulants should be given, and
if the temperature is below nor
NAL the hot bath should be given.
1t is generally wise to wrap
heat-stroke patient in blankets.
A few drops of aqua ammonia in
cool water is the best stimular.,

MARSHALL WILL
BE in PLYMOUTH
SCHEDULED TO SPEAK AT
MOUNT VERNON ON =.
THURSDAY-KERN
OR JAMES COULD
NOT BE SUB
STITUTED

Thomas R. Marshall, Demo-
cratic candidate for governor,
will be in Plymouth and address
the Democratic congressional
convention Thursday. He was
scheduled to speak at Mount
Vernon, along with the Republi-
can candidate, James Watson, at
the dedication of the Soldiers
and Sailors monument, at that
city. tomorrow. The engagement
to be present at Plymouth was
made long before, but when the
officers in charge of the dedica-
ton at Mt. Vernon, invited both
OF the gubernatorial candidates
TO be present, the Democratic
state central committee thought
it advisable to have their candi-
date present. Accordingly, in
quiry was made of District Chair
man, S. n. Stevens, if John w.
Kern. vice presidential nominee,
or Congressman Ollie James OF
Kentucky, would be acceptable
in substitute for Marshall. Mr..
Stevens wired back that the con-
vention would be honored to have
either gentleman present. Later
it was found, however, that
James is in Denver, and Kern is
engaged in a legal case at Gary.
Hence the Marshall date at Mt.
Vernon was cancelled and the
Columbia City man will be in
Plymouth.
There promises to be an enor-
nous crowd of boomers in town
Thursday. a half dozen brass
bands from every county in the
district will be here.
The mass of delegates seem to
be uninstructed and the race is
probably between Henry A
Barnhart of Rochester, and Will
liam A. McInerny of South Bend,
with the favor toward the form
err.

CANDIDATES
ARE COMPARED
BOSTON PAPER SAYS THAT
TAFT is PREFERABLE
TO BRYAN AS SHER-
MAN is SUPER
TOR TO
KERN.

The nomination of the Hon.
John w. Kern of Indiana as
Democratic vice presidential cam
didate is proof, if any proof is
needed, that everything comes to
him who goes after it persistent
ly, says the Boston Transcript.
Mr.. Kern has been prominently
mentioned for the second place
on the Democratic ticket in ad-
vance of more than one of the ma
tional conventions of his party.
He was recommended by some
lndianians in 1904 as a fit and
proper man to be the running
mate for Judge Parker, and he
undoubtedly would have been a
stronger man before the voters
than the octogenarian Davis.
His selection at this time un-
doubtedly reflects the Bryan be-
lief that Indiana is good fighting
ground for the Democracy, and
that Mr.. Kern will aid the ticket.
The basic assumption of this be-
lief is that Mr.. Kern's personal
strength in association with state
pride, will help overcome the OPP
position of the conservative ele-
ment of the state Democracy,
heretofore when not acting with
the Republicans either co-operat-
ing with the gold Democrats or
abstaining altogether from polit>
ical activity. Mr.. Kern's record
in his own state does not justify
the conclusion. If Mr.. Kern had
shown in the past a marked de-
gree OF personal popularity the
Bryan calculations would be
more to the point, but when ma
jorities against a man are cumu-
lative it is difficult to see how it
is possible for him to have a hold
on the individual good will of his
fellow citizens.
In comparison of the qualihca.
tons OF the vice presidential cam
-didates OF the two parties, Mr..
Kern suffers heavily. He has had
no congressional experience and
no association with the greater
public affairs of the Nation. Mr..
Sherman, on the other hand, has
served 20 years in congress, has
acquired great familiarity with
legislation, has participated in
the inner councils of the Repub-
leans, and is eminently qualified
for the duties of the place for
which he has been selected. Mr..
Sherman, therefore, comes nearer
meeting the popular demand that
the vice presidential candidate
shall be man capable in an en-
Urgency OF performing the duties
OF the president, a presidential
understudy equipped with wide
knowledge of administration, and
capable also OF exhibiting origin
ality in directing the affairs in
trusted to the executive. As Mr..
Taft lis vastly preferable to Mr..
Bryan, SO is Mr.. Sherman super
Tor to Mr.. Kern.

Notice to Farmers.

In every rural commune in
France boards are put up bearing
the following instructions: "This
board is placed under the protec-
ton of the common sense and
honesty of the public. Hedge
hogs live upon mice, snails and
observation-disclosures injurious
to agriculture. Don't kill a hedge
hog. Toads help agriculture ;
Each one destroys 20 to 80 in
sects hourly. Don't kill toads.
Moles Destroy wire-worms larvae
and insects injurious to the farm
ers. No trace of vegetable is ever
found in his stomach; does more
good than harm. Don't kill moles.
Zach department of France loses
yearly many millions of francs
by the injury done by insects.
Birds are the only enemies cap
able of battling with them Wig
orously; they are great helps to
the farms. Children, don't take
birds nests"

Stolen Horse Recovered.

Last Saturday evening a horse
and buggy were stolen from a
hitch rack in Michigan City,
driven to Plymouth and sold to
William Detwiler liveryman
here, for eighty dollars on Mon
day.
The buggy was rubber-tired
and almost new, the animal a
black mare three years old. We'd
nesday Mr.. Detwiler learned
that City Marshal Jacoby had
been notified of the theft of a
horse and buggy in Ohio and he
sent for the marshal, fearing that
the mare he had purchased
mighl be stolen.
The marshal decided that the
animal Mr.. Detwiler had was not
the Ohio mare, but on Thursday
he received a card from Michi-
gan City offering a reward of
$4,000 for a stolen horse and
buggy which proved to be the
horse and rig in Mr.. Detwiler's
possession.
The owner and the chief of po-
lice came from Michigan City
Thursday morning and took the
stolen property home. Mr.. Det-
wiler thinks he ought to be en-
titled to the reward, but it seems
that the sheriff and marshal
think they are entitled to the re-
ward and the liveryman will lose
something over eighty dollars by
buying a horse and buggy cheap
from stranger.

although whiskey can be used.
In sunstroke reduce the tenn
perature as soon as possible by
giving cold water to drink and by
sponging with cold or iced water.
In extreme cases pack the patient
in an ice bath. If no ice is at hand
sponge or sprinkle with as cold
water as can be had, and fan Wig
orously. OF course, all of this
must be done in the house or in
the shade.
Only physicians should give
medicine like stryclnia, digitalis,
ETC., to stimulate the heart, and,
therefore, in case of sun-stroke
always send for a physician.

THE PRODUCER
AND CONSUMER
STATISTICS SHOW THAT
AVERAGE RATE OF
WAGES is INCREAS-
ING-HOURS BE-
col MING
SHORTER

The average wages per hour in
1907 were 81 per cent. higher
than in 1906, the regular hours
OF labor per week were GA per
cent lower than in 1906, and the
number OF employees in the estab-
iShments investigated was l per
cent greater than in 1906.
These are some of the facts of
interest in statement just issu>
ed by the Bureau of Labor as
the result of an investigation of
the principal wage working oc-
equations in 4,169 establishments
representing the principal manu-
featuring and mechanical indus
tries of the country. The article
is entitled Rates of Wages and
Retail Prices of Food, 1890 to
1907"
Investigations covering the
sales of LOLA dealers in sixty,
eight localities show that the re-
tail prices OF thirty principal ar
ticles of food, weighed according
to consumption in representative
working mems families, were 40
per cent. higher in 1907 than in
1906. AS the advance in retail
prices from 1906 to 1907 was
greater than the advance in
wages per hour, the purchase
power of an hours wages, as
measured by food, was slightly
less in 1907 than in 1906, the de-
crease being LIZ of l per cent.
The average hourly wages in
1907 were higher than in any
other year of the eighteen-year
period from 1890 to 1907, and
more than 20 per cent higher
than the average in any year
from 1890 to 1900. AS compared
in each case with the average for
the ten-year period, 1890 to 1899,
the average hourly wages in 1907
were 2S.S per cent higher, the
number of employees 44.4 per cent
greater and the average hours of
labor per week 5 per cent lower.
The average price of food in
1907 was higher than in any 9TH
er year of the eighteen-year per-
iod. The increase in the average
hourly wages in 1907 over 1906
was quite general, occurring in
forty of the forty-one industries
investigated. The greatest in
crease was in the manufacture
Of cotton goods, where the aver
age wages per hour in 1907 was
1873 per cent. higher than in 1906.
In the manufacture of paper and
wood pulp the increase was 10.1
Der cent: in eight other indus
tries the increase was per cent,
and in thirty industries less than
) per cent.
OF the thirty articles of food,
twenty-nine were higher in price
in 1907 than in 1906. The articles
which showed the greatest adj
vance in price were: Flour, SO
per cent; butter, s per cent;
evaporated apples, rs per cent;
milk, 7.3 per cent; corn meal, 6.8
per cent; cheese, 81 per cent. and
potatoes, "a per cent. The only
article which showed decrease
was tea, the decrease being O.2
