Lure Of the Heroic.

Why is baseball the game of the
summer instead of croquet. and foot
ball the game OF the autumn instead
Of tiddledewinks? 1t is the element OF
conflict. Of struggle. that gives to the
diamond and the gridiron their empire
over the Imagination The whole man
goes into baseball. whereas croquet
cannot contain the entire personality
of any except a very weak dilution OF
masculinity. The normal man likes a
game that tries the players thew and
sinew. eye and brain. heart and cour-
age.
The fact of the matter Is that moth
ing is more attractive to men than
difficulty. hardship. danger. The call
Of the heroic is irresistible. A case in
point is that of man who left one
position for another a few months
ago. He turned his back on friends
and a sure success to grapple with
difficulties OF a most unusual kind
His employers offered him everything
they could give him to induce him to
remain. But one thing they could not
duplicate-the opportunity for strus-
gle such as tries mems souls That
was more to him than the material
reward.-St. Louis Republic.

When County Commissioners
Meet Monday They Will
Have Two Hard PROPOSE
tons to Make Rulings On.
WASHINGTON TWP. is
INTERESTED IN BOTH
Shall Last InstaIIment Be Paid
On a Road and Will Milton
Be Dry or Wet for the Next
Two Years?

At the Monday meeting of the
county commissioners two important
questions will be considered Bot,
deal with conditions in Washington
township, the most important being
the reaching of decision in allowing
the last installment of the contract
price for the construction of the three
mile gravel road in that township,
and the second question will be to de.
eide whether or not to grant license
to William Null. to sell liquor in Mil
ton.
Just after the completion Of the
gravel road in Washington township,
the law, under which terms it was
constructed, was declared to be I'M
constitutional by the Indiana supreme
court. The road had not been accept
tractor Burke was not made.
Since then the reports Of the sur
veyors representing the county have
been made and they recommend the
acceptance Of the road by the county
commissioners. One of the commits
sioners stated that inasmuch as no re-
monstrance had been filed against the
acceptance Of the road, they would
undoubtedly follow the surveyors
recommendations.
Will Make His Claim.
In event this is done contractor
Burke will make claim for his last
installment, which amounts to approx
imately $4,000. c. e. Wiley. presi-
dent of the board. stated this morn
ing that it was probable this allow
ance would be authorized by the CON-
missioners. He understands that since
the original decision of the supreme
court, there have been decisions
whereby the contractors could collec.
the contract prices for finished work.
II the commissioners allow the
claim, this will place the matter up to
the county auditor. He will follow
the advice of the county attorney as
to whether he should grant, a vouch-
er for the claim.
The question of granting a liquor
license to William Null will be vigor-
ously fought by the ''drys," who have
267 signatures to blanket remon-
STRANGE petition. This is a good siz-
ed majority over the required mum
Der and it is probable that Null will be
ruled against by the commissioners.
Milton and Washington township
will be free from the legalized saloon
for two years providing the commits
sioners favor the "drys."

How to Detect Sweet Glover.

The detection OF sweet clover in al
ialfa seed. is very important to the
man buying seed: doubtless many arc
not aware that it is comparatively
easy to detect it. ii one is familiar
with few very characteristic points.
To examine seed successfully one
needs a small lens. magnifying five
to ten times. to determine the form
of the seeds.
Alfalfa seeds are produced in spiral
pods. Normally the seeds are bean,
or kidney" shaped. and the scar OF
attachment is usually near the center
the alfalfa pods causes irregularly
shaped sheds. so little dependence
can be placed on the shape of the
seeds of alfalfa: but the seeds OF
sweet clover are very regular in form
as the seeds are produced sinGly i'll
little pods. The scar of attachment
on the sweet clover seed is near one
end and the seed is nearly oval in
form. and quite regular. never in
shape like alfalfa seed.
BY spreading sample OF seed
thinly on sheet OF paper, any seeds
suspected Of being sweet clover can
be scoaratcd with the aid of the
lens: and then. by chewing them fine,
their taste will determine their iden-
tity without doubt Alfalfa seed
has distinct bcany flavor. while
sweet clover will taste like the sweet
clover plants smells. strongly vernal.
The form OF the seed. and the taste.
are the characteristic points to de-
tcrminc the identity Of the seed:
and with little practice. especially i
one can compare the two. there will
be no mistake in determination.
