forth the name of Dick Schaaf, of

Dick could probably have had that

that it owes a whole lot to Dick

Horses Free in Time to

Ben Blink, driving for Van Wnngan.

load OF hay on fire.
Ben, who was the former driver for
the American Express company in Ham

morning, driving placidly along little

of hay was afire He thinks that it was
set afire when some passing autoists
threw lighted match into it. How
ever, he did not see it nor did he know
of the burning hay until he was warned
by John Prohl. who came along from
the rear in record breaking time to
warn him.
He had barely time to unhitch his
horses to save them from injury. As

In today's paper we show cut made
from photograph taken of a sidewalk
along Holman street, which shows the
chunks of grease that have been car
ried from the street 10 the sidewalk
and deposited there. Mr. Property
Owner, how would you like for this
to be carried onto your rugs and car
pets? It will do it If you have 1t laid

Last winter when the paving of
Franklin street was on. Mr.. Huckins,
representing the Standard Roadways
company Of Chicago, came to Elkhart
and made a canvas among the Frank
lin street property owners and made
such poor showing that he left the
city without doing any harm.
Better go a little slow, wait a few
days and see what the balance of the
work on South Main street looks like
before making your choice of mater
ials
By the way. we have learned that
the street railway company has pro-
vided that the paving company may use
Pioneer filler" which is an oil product
to fill the spaces between the brick in
the car tracks, and that some of this
material can be seen alongside the gen
uine Trinidad asphalt, out of which the
top or wearing surface of Main street
is to be laid. 1t would be instructive
to go to the company's plant and talk
about these materials with the chemist
in charge, Mr.. J. T. Nourse, who re-
ceiyed his asphalt education at the gov
eminent laboratory at Washington. D.

ELKHART DOESN'T LIKE
HAMMONDS "MUSH" PAVEMENT

Everybody recognizes the ordinary
kind of grease whenever they see it.
but the kind proposed for greasing the
macadam streets which are being pro-
NOTED by Elkhart promoters Is not as
the ordinary kind Of grease.
The streets denominated asphalt ma
eadam streets are laid out of crushed
rock for foundation. on the top Of
which is laid from two to three inches
OF crushed rock mixed with a black
sticky, greasy substance, which is real
~ distilled from crude OIL and is some
times called asphalt.
This substance is the refuse left over
from crude oil after the naptha, lighter
oils and paraf1ne have been removed,
and is a waste material or by-product
of crude oil which the Standard Oil
company and other companies refining
crude oil are glad to get rid of at any
kind Of price. 1t does not have the
qualities Of an asphalt produced by
nature, such as Trinidad asphalt, which
is being used on the South Main street
job. 1t is not tough and durable like
a natural pitch lake asphalt. but is
sticky, greascy, livery and short, that
is, it is not tough and elastic like an
asphalt called a natural asphalt
Several companies are buying this by
product of the refneries and refining
it and putting it on the market under
different trade names. one Of which is
Sorco, another Pioneer. These two are
probably the best known in Elkhart

eral legislation was necessary. He

Mr.. Wing dwelt on the necessity
for active work Oil the part of the
states looking to the part of the erad-
ication of sheep scab. The spread of
the disease he declared, had been mar
rowed down to the point where in a

eradicated. On the subject of sheep

working havoc to the sheep said:
Two dippings at intervals of ten
days will cure the tick trouble alto
gether. One won't have ticks again
until he buys or borrows them"
The major portion of Mr.. Wings
speech was devoted to scientific dis
course on breeding in which the
speaker related his own experiences
in Utah and later in Ohio.
Speaking of the general outlook.
Mr.. Wing declared it was never more
hopeful than now, and that still more
prosperous times were in store for

Got Fifteen Years for Wrecking q

Pittsburg, Jan. 15-J. B. F. Rinehart.
former cashier and vice president of
the Farmers and Drovers' National
bank of Waynesburg. Pa, which insti-
tuition failed over two years ago for
$2,00S,0O0, was found guilty at noon
today of wrecking the bank and SEN
fenced to serve fifteen years in the
penitentiary by United States Judge
James S. Young. The jury found
Rinehart guilty of al eleven counts,
charging him with making false re-
ports to the comptroller of the cur
rency and upon all of the nineteen
counts charging him with making
false entries and with abstraction in
transactions connected with the Green
county political campaign of 1905.
Rinehart was not present when the
verdict was read but entered a few
minutes later. Judge Young then
caused a sensation among all con-
cerned by Immediately calling Rine-
hart before him and imposing sem
tence. Tear strickled down the
cheeks of the dazed banker and among
the largest audience ever seen in the
United States court here, there was a
deathlike silence.

JOE WING TALKS
SHEEP RAISING
Well Known Institute Lectur.
er Discusses Important
Questions

Pocatello, Idaho, Jan. 15.-Presi.
dent Fred w. Gooding of the National
Wool Growers association delivered
his annual address before the asso-
citation this morning. He said in
part:
"a reduction in the tariff schedules
on wool at this time would produce
the same result as the placing of wool
On the free list under the Wilson bill
1t would undoubtedly ruin one of the
most important industries of the Unit
ed States.
"One dollar and eighty cents" he
declared. "is the full cost of all the
wool necessary to manufacture such
suit as the people of the United
States are now paying $50 to $50 for.
If the wool in such a suit was given
free to the manufacturers, under
present conditions the price of an all
wool suit Of clothing would be affect
ed but little"
Mr.. Gooding disputed the statement
that sheep are detrimental to forest
growth and said they were benefit
in removing the underground which
spreads fires. He renounced the
forestry and reclamation bureaus as
academic and tyrannical.
After outlining the plan for great
central market under the control of
growers themselves to sell directly
to the manufacturers, President
Gooding spoke of the efforts made by
the buyers to defeat the project by
bidding up individual clips. He said:
There are about six or seven
firms in the city of Boston that today
control more than seventy-five per
cent Of all the wool of the United
States and they dictate the price to
the wool growers regardless of mar
ket conditions. They see in this
movement, an opposition. which If
once started will throttle their
profits and chance for the wool
growers to retain for themselves a
large portion of the rich harvests
which these commission men have
reaped for so long"
Wings Talk.
The address of President Gooding
was followed by that Of Joe Wing, the
celebrated authority on sheep and
sheep raising. Mr.. Wing said in
part:
Mr.. Wing prefaced his speech with
a word of compliment to the sheep
men and spoke felicitiously of the
kinship and fellowship by which the
interests of those who possess and
care for sheep are held in common
At the very outset Mr.. Wing an
nounced himself as opposed to high
er tariff on wool. his argument in
effect being that an increase Of duty
on the product at this time would
yield no material benefit to the grow
er, that the time is at hand when
American country life needs lower
ing of the tariffs: that millions of
people. poor, or of moderate means,
who should wear woolen garments,
cannot afford prices higher than those
already charged, and that European
markets are closing their doors
