Board Of Works Wants Hips
kind Forced to Garry Out
Improvement Contract.
DOUBTFUL AS TO MISTAKE
OF $1,000 IN FIGURING, WHICH Is
EXCUSE OFFERED ~ THE CON-
TRACTOR TO GET OUT OF HIS
CONTRACT.

Even to . damage suit the board Of
works. may force Philip Hipskind and
Son, contractors of Wabash. Ind, to
construct the sewer near the Elliott
Reid fence factory. on which the COM
pany was the only bidder. Hipskind
claims that he made q mistake sof ST.
900 on the bid and wants 1t rejected.
At board meeting Hipskind pre-
sented his plea for Q rejection Of the
bid and the board took it under ad-
visement. Yesterday City Engineer
Charles said:
"Hipskind found that there was no
other bidder and he either lost his
nerve or thought he could get q high
er price for his work. A miss of 81 900
was certainly poor work and I don't
believe he made it,
AS Hipskind's bid was only two
cents under the engineers estimate
the board thinks that he should be
held to it. A bond of 500 was filed
by the contractors. which will be for
feited In ten days II he fails to file
the regular bond Of $500. to guaran-
tee the work. The matter will be left
until then and 1t 10 believed Hipskind
will change his decision and decide
to do the work. The original bid was
$3.43 and the $1,000 difference on the
job would make 1t $4.43. for which he
agrees to do the work.
The final assessment roll on the i'm.
provement Of South Seventh street.
from e to H street was approved by
the board after 1t had hung fire for
nearly year because much Of the
construction was faulty and there was
considerable protesting from property
owners on their assessments.
Permission was granted the knights
Of st. John to use the streets Sunday
for . military parade. John Hefner,

before the board.

Corn Remains King Of Crops;
Big Increase Over Last Year

The corn crop Of the United States
for 1910 will exceed 2,750. 200. 900 BUSH
els: will not be far from 250, 00O, 900
bushels larger than that of 1909 and
will yield the farmer 1,400, 100000.
From reports from every state in
the union there does not seem to be
any probability of the crop reaching
the three billion bushel aggregate
which has been 20 much talked about.
The 1rst estimate Of the crop made
from the July condition report issued
by the governments department Of
agriculture was for yield Of 1897
70S.000 bushels from q planted area of
114.0S3, 900 acres, as reported by tho
Washington bureau.
At that time the crop had almost re-
covered from the retarding influences
OF the early spring. and was at it's
most promising state.
The Three Billion Promise.
Then there came from Washington
the semi-oficial announcement that
tho corn crop might exceed 5000, 0O0,-
900 bushels. this. Of course. condition
ed on . continuance throughout the
season of tho exceedingly favorable
conditions then prevailing.
Presuming that there had been
planted the area claimed by the gov.
ernment's crop reporting board, and
that all Of 1t were to be harvested:
and presuming also that the govern
ment's estimate for the 1909 crop of
2,772. 376, 900 was correct, there was
ample warrant for the optimistic
claim Of 5000. 000. 900 bushels for 1910.
But the crop encountered a pro-
tracted drought in some parts of the
country during July and August, so
that the condition percentage dropped
from So on July to 7S September /,
almost one and half points below
the ten year average.
Federal Figures Too HIah.
There was . recovery OF condition
during September. but the deteriora-
ton Of the summer could not be recov-
cred and put 5000, 200. 900 bushel
crop out Of the question.
Then the governments cron area

ment.

PRACTICE.
EarIham Squad Turns Out and
Good Work by the Can
didates Was Done.
COACH EXPLAINED WORK

After blowing through the wet
campus last evening the Earlham col.
lege football squad returned to the
dormatory conscious that they would
have to put in hard practice this even
ing in preparation for the game with
Antioch on Reid field tomorrow.
The football schedule opens at the
local college with this game and one
OF the most successful seasons Of the
Earlham squad 10 expected to result.
With the old men working hard for
their positions and new men fighting
for recognition. tho scrimmage the
showed the grit and nettle Of the men.
They are all determined to play hard
even though the rain has robbed them
Of some practice.
Last evening Coach Thistlethwaite
took the men through the ten forma-
lions to be used In the game Saturday.
Reid field is under water in many
places and 1t would have been impos-
sible for the squad to hold scrimmage
there. besides spelling the field for
the game tomorrow.
Wednesday evening the squad list.
ened to the chalk talk of the Earlham
coach and went through the formation
on the blackboard. This method is q
good one to use on q rainy evening
but the long rain the last few days
kept the team inside too much.
The fight for positions has been
very strong this year and 1t IL ex-
pected to show itself more in the
game tomorrow when . number of
men are expected to be given . try
out. unless the contest with Antioch
proves too strong. In that case some
Of the same men win be continued af.
ter palying the first half together.
Antioch has had the benefit oomore
practice than Earlham and opened
her schedule last Saturday. Last
year Earlham won fro mthe Ohio col
lege after . hard battle. BY the score
Of Is to and this year the Buckeye
men are determined to win.
l. Jones who played some last year
at center for Earlham will probably
open the game for the Quakers. He
has been showing some good form in
this position in the practice games
this week. c. Jones Of Chicago win
probably be ut end and Lewis ut quar-.
ter. Tho other positions have not
been settled by the coach.
