SHOWERS AVERT
MILK FAMINE
FARMER REJOICES w
THAT HE CAN PLANT
WINTER WHEAT
PASTURES ARE
GREEN ONCE
MORE.

Plymouth gained materially by
the heavy showers of Sunday
Eight and Monday morning. For
as one farmer said, had the
drought continued week longer
the city would have been up
against milk famine" Even as
the situation was the milk dealers
were unable to supply the greater
part of their customers with the
milk they ordered. In spite of
the fact that the thermometer fell
from SO to 81 degrees Sunday to
10 degrees late Monday night the
farmers in this vicinity are wear
ing a smile as broad as a barn.
Previous to the rain storm the
roads leading into Plymouth were
unbearable for the pedestrian as
we'll as the autoist and the cyclist.
At certain points the dust was 5
inches deep and this condition of
the roads made motor riding al
most impossible and unless the
auoist had a machine of extraor~
dinary horsepower he stood as
much chance in passing through
them as SNOWFALL has in a bake
oven.
Even during the past 24 hours
the pastures in the country have
taken on verdant color and the
grass has assumed its natural
hue. During the drought farmer
remarked that the ground was lit
orally a burning mass as far ais a
foot and that it was impossible for
even the widest weeds 10 with
stand that condition. Now that
the pastures are green again the
mich cows can start the daily
Guiding.
1t was impossible for the farm
er to plant his winter wheat, be-
cause Of the burning condition OF
his ground. Now that the land is
moist, the work will be done be-
fore the colder weather sets in.

that this would give a clew that
could be used as leverage to get
the poisoner.
Expressions heard about the
city seem to indicate that if the
poisoner is caught, red handed,
there will be little sympathy for
him. Some of the expressions
would sound brutal in print, but
some men are aroused to the ex-
tent OF making an assault on the
poiSoner if the opportunity oc-
CURED.
The mayor and council probab-
ly will be asked to take a hand in
the effort to find the poisoner.
1t seems that the poison has
been scattered throughout the en-
tire city. Many dogs and cats
have died from poison, on Sophia
East Washington, and Water
streets. A business man OF the
city who is deeply interested in
the hunt said Saturday that
suspicion had been fastened on a
certain individual and a clew had
been furnished. Certain it is if the
guilty one is caught an exhaustive
prosecution will follow.
An epidemic of dog poisoning
has also been started in Warsaw
and many valuable dogs have
died from the results. Steps are
also being taken in that city to
run down the offender.

WHAT BARNHART

Booklets Now Being Sent to Re-

gressional District.

Some things Henry Barnhart
Stands For" is the title OF a cam
paign folder now being sent out
for the purpose of aiding the
Democratic nominee for Con-
gress in the Thirteenth district.
One thing that Editor Barnhart
stood for four years ago, and
championed his cause most siren
uously, was William R. Hearst.
OF counse, that fact is not enum-
Grated in the booklet that is now
being sent broadcast over the
Thirteenth district, but it is true
and when the Republicans of this
district become aware of it, the
other things Mr.. Barnhart stands
for will not cut much figure
with them at least.

Clizbe and w. G. Hendricks, Pc
titioned for the injunction, claim
ing that the council was about to
abuse its discretion in granting
the electric light franchise to a
higher bidder. Everly and Clizbe
were the other bidders.
The judge held that although
court could not restrain the leg
islative acts of a council, yet in
his opinionthe granting of con-
tract was administrative, and
since the difference in bids ap-
peared to be SO large, ne would
grant the temporary injunction.

assault and battery upon the per-

guilty and were each assessed
fine of so cents, which with costs

them alone, cutting their hair, in
some instances tying them to
trees etc. Friday evening the
Freshies plotted a deep plot

Young Jordan was one of the VIC
Tins. A clean swath had been
cut through his pompadour from
forehead to the back of his neck
