NEW SUITS FOR
THE MILITIA
APPLICATION FOR $500 OIL
LIVE-BROWN SERVICE
UNIFORMS MADE
GUARDS JUST
LIKE REGU-
LARS.

The same style and color of
uniforms as those worn by the
soldiers of the Regular Army are
to be furnished the Indiana Ma,
tional Guard. Brig. Gen. Oran
Perry, adjutant general of Indi-
ana, Tuesday forwarded to the
War Department at Washington
d. c., a requisition for $500 of
the olive-brown service uniforms,
which, under the new military
law ARE to be furnished to all the
National Guard soldiers of the
country. The law appropriates
$2,000,000 for clothing and equip
ment for the National Guard. In
dianas share of this amounts to
$4,000 The blue and khaki uni
forms at present worn by the In
diana soldiers will be retained
with the blue overcoats.
Next year the olive-gray over
coats worn by the soldiers of the
Regular Army will be issued to
the guardsmen. The Indiana
troops already have been equip,
ped with the new and improved
Springfield rifles used by the reg
ulars. The new uniforms may ar
rive in time for the September
maneuvers.
Gen. Perry said that arrange
ments are being made to send the
artillery battalion of the Indiana
National Guard, consisting OF
Battery A, indianapolis; Battery
B, Fit. Wayne, and Battery c,
Rockville, to Michigan City ear
ly August for target practice, in
stead OF sending it to Fl. Benja-
min Harrison for joint maneu-
vers in September. The State
has not been able to get sufficient
funds to send the artillery to
both places. For the Michigan
City trip the Government will
pay the transportation and sub
sistence expense and will allow
the enlisted men 81 a day for
their service. The officers will
receive higher pay according to
their rank.
| Gen. Perry and Maj. Gen. w.
]. Mckee deem the target prac-
tice to be more beneficial to the
artillerymen than the joint man
euvers. The troops, however,wi
have an opportunity to maneuvei
ait Michigan City. The exact date
upon which the troops will go to
Michigan City has not been de-
termined.

PLYMOUTH BESTS
WARSAW 4 TO 3
IN CLOSE AND EXCITING
GAME CHER o K E ES
DEFEAT ELKS--PLY-
MOUTH NOW HAS
A WINNING
TEAM.

In one of the best games seen
this season on the local diamond
the Plymouth base ball team de-
feated the Warsaw Elks' team
Tuesday afternoon by score OF
4 to 3. The Warsaw team ar
rived in the city at 1 80 and be-
fore they could get to the ball
grounds terrific storm came up.
However, the Warsaw team was
willing to play on the wet dia-
mond and the game was called
few minutes after 3 O'Clock.
Both teams were in excellent
shape and few errors were cred
tied to either of the teams. Smith
and Born the battery for Plym-
outh, did fine work. Smith strik-
ing out six men, Sunny for
Warsaw pitched an excellent
game and several times when the
bases were filled he threw himself
out, not allowing a score.
Some of the principle features
of the game were a two-base hit,
by Harris and Shaffer,of the Ply
mouth team, and fine long catch
in the right field by Evans of the
Warsaw team.
Another noticeable feature OF
the game was the gentlemanly
character of the visiting team
and no decision of Umpire Thom-
as was questioned by them. They
returned to Warsaw last evening
highly elated with the treatment
they had received, and have ask
ed the Plymouth team to come
to Warsaw and play return
game July 9th.
The lineup of the teams was
as follows.
Plymouth-Betz, lib; Ulrich SIS
Harris, 3b; Martindale, 2b

The Plymouth team has added
several new recruits to its staff
and is now prepared to meet the
strongest amateur teams in this
section. Betz of Milford and
Smith of Culver, two of the new
additions, made an excellent
showing in Tuesdays game, and
Manager Ormond has done well
in adding them to the staff for the
rest of the season. Thursday
afternoon the Plymouth team will
pay their respects to the Bourbon
team on the local diamond.

Herkomer stuck to him like limpet,
fed with him, walked and talked with
him, watched him conduct his orches-

last, when every attempt to secure a

early one morning, painted with fren-

in restless sleep, rose early again and
painted furiously, till on the second
evening he sat down exhausted-but

amazement. "Ah!" he cried. "Won-

UNIT RULE FOR TREE GROWTH.
One Inch in Four Years Is the Swiftes
Known.

An inch in four years is the swiftest
growth known in the race of the trees.
Farmers and fruit growers are said to
in knowing how long it takes for a tree
to grow an inch, but some carriage MAX
ers have found out.
They asked about forty Of the coun-
try's prominent vehicle and wheel manu-
facturers drawing their stock from ter
ritory where hickory, white oak, ash and
tulip trees grow to select and express
to them short cross sections of these
woods from the odds and ends about
for the average width of growth, and
the size of each block was to be about
1 inch lengthwise, inch across and
u of an inch thick.
They examined these blocks carefully
and marked on each block a 1-inch
space across the average size of growths
Of the annular rings. They then counted
the number Of rings within the inch
space on each block and registered the
total in ink thereon. Then they counted
these totals on all the samples OF each
of the several kinds of timber submitted
and in the usual way thus ascertained
the average number of years required for
each kind of tree to grown 1 inch. An
inch growth on one side represented, OF
course, 2 inches growth to the tree. !.
They submitted the count, process and
result to unquestionable scientific au-
thority. Their general conclusions was
that it takes from four to five years for
a tree to increase 1 inch in diameter.
Hickory trees varied from 4.S7 years to
5.S3, according to their location east or
west of the Alleghanies. Oak required
4.6S years for the inch, ash 4.91 and
poplar four years.-Chicago Tribune.

sUPPoSEs SUN Is CoLoRED.
Astronomer Tells How 1t Would
Change the Aspects of Nature.

Astronomer Tells How 1t Would
Change the Aspects of Nature.
A German astronomer has recently
published some interesting observations
on the theoretical effects Of a change
in the color Of the sun. 1t is amusing
to consider the possibilities if the sun
were green, blue or red instead Of what
1t is. If it were blue there would be
only two colors in the world-blue and
black. If it were red then everything
would be red or black. If it were well
low everything would be yellow or
black. Everyone knows that the light
Of the sun consists Of six colors, and
the reason things are different hues is
that some swallow up five Of the colors
and reflect only one. Thus primroses
are yellow because they absorb all but
the yellow, roses red because they alb
sorb all but the red, violets purple be-
cause they absorb everything but red
and blue, mixture of which two col
ors forms purple.
In the event of the sun being red
roses, blood, red ink and all other
things that are now red would reflect
it. So also would snow, the lily and
all things that are now white, but these
