Official Report on the Condition
of Crops August I, 1908.

The wheat harvest this year
was unusually early, the average
date, June 20, being two weeks
in advance of the harvest of one
year ago. A large amount of
threshing has at this date been
completed, and reports from same
vary considerably over the state.
The average wheat prospect for
the state as a whole, as deduced
from the returns of the official
correspondents of the Depart
ment of Agriculture, is estimated
at 82% compared with an aver
age, AZ less than the estimate of
July /. Compared with the cor
responding month of 1907 the
prospect is 2% in advance of that
estimate. Heavy rainfalls oc-
Cured in some sections Of the
state during the past month
while wheat was standing out in
shock, causing some damage, and
there is also considerable COM
plant of injury by joint worm.
Sufficient threshing will soon be
completed to determine with ap-
proximate correctness the actual
product of this years harvest.
Oats show a further decline in
prospect since the last report, be-
ing now estimated at 65% COM
pared with an average. The
seeding generally was late and
the effect of the long continued
drouth during the month of June

Portland, Ind, Aug. 8. /

WeaCner is DeauClIul mere at
this time, but not enough of rain
yet. Corn is not as good as in
former years here. June and
July was very dry in this county,
yet there are some good fields of
corn.
Mrs. DR.. Brown is out west
taking her vacation and on a
visit to her sisters in Missouri
and Illinois.
Since my last several things
have come to pass = sickness, in
sanity cases and weddings, also
the grim reaper has taken a few.
Old Vincent Gigandet, formerly
of near Versailles, is very near
death and his son William, a very
good citizen, grieving over the
sickness of his father lost his
mind and became violent last
week and had to have a guard
until he could be taken to some
retreat. He was taken to the
Fletcher sanitarium near Indian
apolis for nervous treatment, the
main cause of his dementia.
Last Saturday a week ago a
young lady of our city, with both
legs gone to the upper third of
the thighs, eloped to Covington,
KY, and was there married. She
even has no corks to walk on and
when her dear hubby wants her
he has to go after her and carry
her in his arms. She has an in
valid chair which she has been
using for several years. Well,
the man is safe, she can't kick
him.
Mrs. Kershner, jnce she was
removed to PCftla q, has better
care and she seems to improve.
She is quite cheerful now and
not so lonesome, but she will
never regain health or speak a
word while living.
Last Thursday night at II
o'clock, six saloons went out of
business here. On one of the
dry shops now is this trite no.
tice: "This old saloon has now
gone dry, but you will be a little
drug store by and by" Several
more will quit as soon as their
licenses expire and by the first
of the year all will go except one,
which will run until next year in
March. Some fellow asked a.
bout the empty rooms left by the
saloon exit. said the old beer
guzzlers would start banks with
their savings. If those rooms
remain unoccupied who suffers,
but the one who owns them, and
any man who will rent room
for a saloon is not the man u to
feel sad for.

What's the Matter with
Injunction?
nv no
BY LEO.

BY LEO.
There is nothing the matter
with it; injunction is all right
when rightly used. But like
many another good thing, it may
be wrongly applied. Judges are
fallible men, like the rest of us,
and may at times ere in the ad-
ministration of law. Perhaps
Injunction once in a while is i'm
properly or excessively used.
Nevertheless, it is a wise feature
of court power that it can enjoin
and prevent a threatened injury
to property or life.
This power is vested in courts
of justice and equity for the good
of the whole community, not for
the benefit of the court itself.
The court could get along well
enough without the power to is
sue writs of injunction, letting
every threat against life and
property be carried out, and then
furnishing the guilty perpetrators
after the event; but in that case,
what havoc would befall society.
A man may lock the stable door
after the horse is stolen, but how
much better to do it before the
thief gets in his work. Is not an
ounce of prevention better than
a pound of cure? If courts could
prevent all outbreaks of violence
what a beautiful world this would
be! Fortunately, they can stop
much violence and breaking
by enjoining threateners, max
ing them liable to punishment
for contempt of court if they re-
fuse to obey.
The following illustrations may
serve to make matters palmer:
Two farmers own adjoining
farms and they have a contro-
versy about a division line. Far
mer A is sure the line is not pro-
perly placed, and Farmer B thinks
otherwise. Farmer A insists on
moving the fence, and is about
getting at it, but B goes to the
Judge asking for an injunction to
restrain his neighbor until the
court can hear and decide. The
order is issued and things remain
in status quo until after a hear
ing. In such cases nO harm is
done to either party and much
benefit may come to both.
An injunction may prevent an
irreparable injury. For instance,
a little more than year ago our
school board concluded to trim
the trees on the old school lot on
Fourth street. The committee
on grounds wentto work and had
several trees trimmed. At this
stage some citizens took alarm
that the beautiful shade trees
were being ruined, and the court
issued an injunction against any
further trimming. The tree trim
ming stopped. Now suppose the
trees were being destroyed as
some believed, was it right to al
low the destruction to go on!
Obviously not, for how could we
repair the injury? It takes time
to grow a beautiful grove. Bear
in mind we do not say that the
trimming was at all injurious to
the trees; but suppose it was,
then the restraining order of the
court was just the thing.
Take another illustration. Here
is a factory employing one hun
dred hands. They become dis
satisfied with something and :
strike is ordered. The proprie
tors attempt to employ othel

DeceiyerS,

There is an old fellow who lives in
"dry" New England town who has
a very poor opinion of New York, to
which metropolis he recently made a
visit. It may be remarked in passing
that the old gentleman is one of the

for some time upon a sugar barrel at
the grocery and then suddenly burst
out:
"Them fellers down to New York

teeth out fore you know it!''

say you got buncoed at your age?'

THE PESTIFEROUS RAT.
Man at Last Begins to Recognize
Most Dangerous Enemy.

Unless an international Pied Piper
Of Hamlin can be found to lead all
the rats into the sea, the entire hu-
man race may become their victim.
The high authority of a noted
French scientist, DIR. R. Calmette of
Paris, backs this assertion.
The increasing number Of rats, the
marvellous hardihood with which
they survive long Journeys, their
pernicious and perilous tendency to
carry disease are all given as reasons
for the universal warfare now plan
ned on rodents.
1t will not be with the dulcet
strains Of a piper that the rodents
will be lured to their doom as on an
other occasion noted in history.
Science is practical, and believes that
poison properly administered is a
good deal more efficacious than music
to piper out a pest.
The offering Of bounties on rat
tails, the adoption Of methods to
keep them from travelling from point
to point on ships and railroad cars:
and the employment Of professional
rat killers all over the world, are
: some Of the methods by which ihe
pests will be wiped out.
! 1t is now becoming nothing m-
! common for cities to inaueurate rat
j killing campaigns as means Of put
! ting an end to plaques.
j The case Of Port Of Spain is an ex'
cellent instance. Plague broke out
and extended in spite of efforts ts
check it. Then experts fell on the
idea that rats were carrying the in.

Senator Johnstone Amused.

Mr.. Alan Johnstone, nominee to
the State senate from Newberry coun-
ty, was in the city yesterday for a
few hours on business and received
the congratulations Of his many
friends on his recent victory. Mr..
Jchrlstone related with much amuse-
ment the combina tion on senatorship
and governor which several endeavor-
ed to work against him.
Editorials from the State on the
situation were copied and every effort
was made to arouse prejudice against
him. It failed, however, and Mr..
Johnstone believes that but for the
rains which prevented a full vote
from being turned out Ansel would
have carried the county easily.-The
Columbia State.
We had hoped that since the elec-
ton is over and the result declared
and no one protesting that the mat
ter would end. There is no doubt that
it was a great victory which Mr.. John
stone achieved and he has right to
be proud of it but he ought to state
the facts when he talks about it. No
editorials from the Columbia State
were ever copied unless Mr.. John
stone copied them on the typewriter
And but for the effort Of Mr.. John
stone and his friends to make it ap-
pear that there was a combination in
the governors and senate races as
against him the result would very
probably have been different. There
was no combination. All that Mr..
Aull had to say was said on the
stump in Mr.. Johnstone's presence.
Mr.. Aull has not complained, and is
not complaining, but after the elec-
ton is over he does not like to see a
misstatement of the facts.

gar and orange plantations are fall
ing a victim to the rapacity of the
rat.
One island is instanced that was
once completely covered with rich
grass, which kept in good condition
all the year around three thousand
cattle. Although the island is half a
mile from the mainland the day came
when the rats picked it out as a
suitable place for pitching their tents.
By swimming they reached the is
land and took possession That was
fifteen years ago. Today there is
not a blade of grass left on the is
land. A pair Of rabbits could not
find nourishment on what was once
an ideal stretch Of grazing land.
The whole island has been so abso-
lutely honeycombed by tie rats that
today it cannot be reclaimed by cul-
tivation. There it lays in the ocean,
useless, an eyesore, sample Of what
mans foe. the rat, can achieve in
the way Of destruction.
The rat will eat anything. On one
Of the Channel islands it was known
that an army Of rats had their
home. Curiosity was aroused as to
what they lived on, for the island
had been stripped clear. cf even a
blade of grass.
A scientist made an examination
and dug out the holes of number
Of rats. To his amazement he found
in them crabs-live crabs! They
had not come Of their own will, for
each "rustacean had legs cut off.
Investigation showed that the willy
rats were in the habit Of doing their
grabbing at low tide. To make sure
that the crab would do no harm, he
was swiftly deprived Of his claws.
Then dragged to the hole Of the rat,
the crab was food supply to be
drawn on whenever needed.
The damage that rats do to the
cargoes Of ships and in warehouses
has been estimated at tens Of millions
of dollars. Rat insurance has become
a necessity Of business since that
rodent got hold in this country.
Rats scratching matches and
starting them into flame, rats NOV
ing around greasy waste rags and
causing spontaneous combustion is
the explanation Of many a myster-
ious fire.
There is hardly anything that a
rat will not eat from meat and poul-
try to bark Of young trees.
Ducks, chickens and other small
fowl fall a victim to the rat, being
killed by grip on the throat by the
sharp teeth OF the ugly rodent. At
tacks on children and old persons
are often reported, the rat seeming
to know by instinct where it can
most safely make an attack.
Cities all over the world have
learned the terrible lesson Of how
rats can carry plaques, and when it
is considered that within two years
a single ordinary pair Of rats will
multiply to 1886 rats, it will be seen
how many of these disease carriers
are constantly being loosed on the
world.
The situation has indeed resolved
itself into a matter Of destroying the
rat or being destroyed by him.
