CllldpS there are few teachers
and children in the schools of In
diana who know that it is virtual
ly a violation of the law for the
little tots IN the primary grades
to put their. fingers in their
mouths, to wipe their noses on
their sleeves or to wet their pen
ellis with their lips. Such, how
ever, are the rules of the State
Board of Health, and the SUI
prcmc Court has held that the
rules OF the board, when within
the purview of the statutes, have
all the force of law.
The State Board of Health and
State Superintendent Fassett A.
Cotton are insisting to school Of
ficials and teachers that the rules
of the board shall be observed.
The state board has adopted Two
sets of rules, one of which gov
ems the school teachers, school
officials and the custodians OF
school buildings. The other a.
plies TO school children. The iat-
ter set, as published in a bulletin
being sent out by Superintendent
Cotton, is as follows:
Every child and adult can be
helpful in fighting consumption.
School children can help by COM
plying with the following rules:

Although Plymouth nas sever
al Democratic lawyers who are
the professional peers of any law
yers in this end of the State, and
many others who are the pro-
fessional equals of the present
judge, it will be significant in
the highest degree should they al
with one accord refuse to walk
into the political bear trap SO
clumsily set forsthem by Nets
ker and his dark lantern acces-
series.
Metsker and his pals by their
acts say to the people OF this
judicial district: The Demo
cratic party Gas represented by

it says that it is opposed to con
tinuing one man in Office ,fQr-
ever. The Democratic party is
only opposed to continuing one
man in Office forever when he is
a Republican in politics"
The Tribune admits that this
is not its political fight, and il
might as we'll be said now as at
any time that The Tribune ex-
poets to help elect a Republican
Judge in November. But it will
endeavor to do this by decent po-
litical methods, and not by sland-
ering its best citizens.
But the Tribune is a Marshall
county newspaper and as such
we'll acquainted with the business
and professional men of this city
1t is proud of this little city
proud of the honest men and
women of Marshall county
proud OF the high average intelli-
gence OF its people; proud of the
members of the Marshall county
Bar which ranks among the fore
most OF the State, and it will not
remain silent when a gang OF po-
litical manipulators assail, even
indirectly, the professional stand
ing and integrity of its lawyers,
be they Democrat or Republican,
for low down political purposes.
The Tribune will not stand
idly by and see a despieable sheet
ike the Plymouth Democrat, aid
ed and assisted by men of the
same class, proclaim, in effect, to
the world that there are no COM
petent lawyers in this county for
the office of circuit Judge.
To such men as Clay w. Nets
ker the sight of an independent,
fearless and honest man, is like
a red rag in the face of an in
f1riated bull.
The man or lawyer who does
not bow down to this journalistic
gutter snipe, is in his opinion, not
fitted for the bench.
1t will be interesting to watch
the movements of the Rip Van
Wrinkle Democrats when they
wake up and learn what Metsker

ic committee have done to them.

FERTILIZING THE
LAND-FARMERS

That the assisting of the crops,
whether in the garden or the field.
by fertilizing, has become OF the
utmost Importance to the grower
is evidenced by the efforts to edu-
cate them in that line.j Railroad
managers and university profes-
sors are giving their money and
time toward the development OF
the fertilizing project. Mr.. Chas.
S. Bash, of Fit Wayne, one OF the
best authorities on the subject in
the state, and who has delivered
more lectures on the subject than
any man in the state, perhaps,
said Monday that the matter of
fertilizing the ground was becom-
ing of great moment to the farm
.er. Mr.. Bash said:
The Importance of fertilizers
in the growing of all garden and
field crops is becoming SO appar-
ent as to no longer cause com
mcnt. In many portions of Our
state-in fact, the growing of any
crop without the use of fertilizers
is no longer thought of.
Railroad managers are now
furnishing special trains to carry
speakers all over their lines to ex-
plain the advantages of fertilizer,
and the results which can be OBJ
tanned by its use. These railroad
managers realize as keenly and as
quickly as the farmer what in
rreased crops and a maintenance
OF the fertility of the soil means
10 them. and it is not surprising
hat large sums are being spent in
missionary work along this line.
Weeks and months of time are
Being spent by our farmers and
gardeners in hauling manure from
the cities to their places in the
country for their farms and gard
ms. Hundreds of tons of sawdust
md other waste material are haul
I'll out which is not worth a cent
ton, but on the contrary many
acres OF producing land is soured
~ the excessive amount of saw
lust which is in the manure. Such
lands will never produce until
treated with lime, or until the
sawdust has become thoroughly
rotted. Besides the sawdust the
weed seeds in the manure are also
a pest which every farmer is try
ing to eradicate.
Every farmer and gardener
should Immediately write to Prof.
Arthur Goss. state chemist of In
diana at Purdue university, and
lsk for bulletin No. 10, which was
issued in November, 1907; also
the circular on saving and rein
forcing the manure The infor-
nation in these circulars will
prove of inestimable value to
very farmer and gardener. These
reports show the advantages of
fertilizers in connection with barn
yard manure. The loss of manure
due to leechng, and also the fact
hat fifty years of continuous use
of fertilizers in large quantities,
from 1852 to 1902, at Rothamsted.
England, had not only not injured
the land in question. but had &C
tually increased the average an
nual yield from thirteen to thirty
seven bushels per acre.
at will also be noted that the
Weld on the fertilized plats the
last year mentioned was forty
FIVE bushels per acre, while the
yield on the unfertilized plats
was the same year but 13 bushels.
