A BENEFICIAL RAIN
Farmers Report That the
DoWnpour Friday Came
In Handy.
WATER WAS BADLY NEEDED

Farmers report that the rain of Fri
day will do great deal Of good. The
fields had been dried out by the frosts
and long drought. SO that water was
needed. The rain was not overly
abundant, but it was sufficient to be
effective. The grass was in need of
heavy rain. 1t is quite probable that
pasturage will be short this spring.
Last fall there was long dry sea-
son and fire burned over so many pas
lures, damaging the roots of the grass.
that it is probable at least two years
will be required for complete recovery.
No place was the rain more appreci-
ated than in the city. The dust was
SO great that whenever a vehicle passed
great clouds of it filled the air. The
poor housewives could not keep their
porches clean, try as hard as they
could. Neither could they keep the
dust off their pianos and parlor fur
niture. The wind blew the fine par
ticles of dirt about in every direction
and the eyes and nostrils of the pedes-
trians suffered as consequence

This news comes to the retail flor.
ist from growers. who have fewer
lily plants to put on the market this
year than ever before. One grower
who produced 10000 plants last year
has given up their culture entirely,
and others have cut short the supply
The scarcity of lilies is due to the
fact that the market was overstocked
last Easter, and growers lost money
on their speculation.
Other Spring Flowers.
But, to compensate for the scarcity
there will be an abundance Of other
spring flowers. Sweet peas have new.

NO SANCTION IS PROMISED

The first session of the April term
of the Wayne circuit court will be held
tomorrow. The court will look over
the docket and probably call a number
of the civil cases. The civil and pro.
bate cases are so numerous that al
least two mornings will be devoted to
reading them. The court is desirous
of getting as many cases fixed for trial
early in the term as is possible. A
number of cases was left over from the
January term and these will be given
precedence over those that have been
on the docket longer.

Nothing in the least bit sensational
is promised for the new term. There
is no criminal case of any vast import.
ance. The celebrated Gay. and Jones
blind tiger" cases will be on the doc
ct and the prosecutor has declared
they will be called for trial. That re
mains to be seen. DIR. Jones. OF
Whitewater, has been tried twice for
his alleged offense and each time the
jury was unable to agree. Gay has
passed through the fire once and the
jury did the same way as in the other
case. Ray X. Shiveley is assisting the
prosecutor in the collection of new evi.
dence in the Gay case. When last the
case was set for trial number OF
young men of the city who are sup.
posed to be acquainted with the con.
duct of affairs about the city's chief
hostelry were subpoenaed as witnesses.
They now are wondering IL when the
case ia set for trial again, they will be
visited by the sheriff with a summons.
They are not counting on such visit
with any degree Of pleasure.
The other criminal cases on the
docket are of very minor importance.
Some of the civil cases that are dock
eted are not at all likely to be called
for trial. A number of reasons will
be given SO that continuances will be
made possible.

THE WOMAN OF TODAY.

Thoughtless people so right along
saying and writing things about wo.
men just rs they did a couple Of
generations ago. The same old
Jokes come around and are dressed
mp bit and reprinted, with the
Imaginary folbles and foollshness
and weaknesses Of women as the
feature, with never q thought Of the
changes time has wrought; never
realization Of the fact that the wo.
men of today are far different from
the women OF past generations
that the place accorded women In the
affairs Of the world is altogether diff.
ferent from that that she occupied In
days Of old. The experience Of Mrs.
Scott Durand, Of Chicago, Is hap
PLY Illustrative. She conceived the
notion Of establishing q model dairy.
Possibly she may not have had any
very comprehensive Idea, Of the
kind OF q game she was going
against, and followed theory rather
than practical ideas. She soon
found herself "in the hole" to the
extent Of twenty thousand dollars.
Right there Is where the jokesmith
would sec his opportunity. and fool
ish people who have never learned
anything about the difference be-
tween the now and the long ago as
regards women, would have had her
sit down and cry over the matter
and then lei The whole thing 80 10

typical woman Of today d!i rot do.
