Chamberlain's Face.

One of Sir Benjamin Stones more
frequent sitters has been Mr.. Cham
berlain, who, once speaking of his
own portrait, said: 1T has been re-
marked that l bear resemblance to
Pitt. l am afraid that my testimony
to this resemblance would have little
value. But if it could be alleged that
any likeness existed between that
great statesman. not bodily or men,
tally, but in his aspirations, N his de-
sire to be of use to his country, then
I should be proud indeed" Perhaps
the last photograph ever taken of Mr..
Chamberlain was that by Sir Ben
iamin at the notable fetes in Birming-
ham to celebrate the great statesman's
SEVENTEEN birthday. At the house OF
commons Mr. Chamberlain was ever
ready to help his colleague. and on
one occasion volunteered to go and
hunt up the reluctant Michael Davitt
and bring him to the spot for the pur'
pose.

Suggestion for Grating Trees.

Waxing is one of the most impor-
tant factors in successful grating.
The work must be done carefully,
that the scions be not disturbed, and
completely. that all air and moisture
shall be excluded. A very good wax
is made by melting together four
pounds of resin. two pounds of bees
wax and one pound of tallow. When
melted pour into a tub of cold water
to cool; then pull. the same as for
taffy, until it is of a clear golden col
or. Of course grating should be done
on warm, bright days; otherwise the
wax hardens so quickly it is difficult
to do the work we'll. Young trees may
be rets ed in single season; tree
eight 10 tSn years old in two years.

Citizens of Lebanon Are Asking

Even Kentucky, the birthplace

rion county Kentucky asking
that a local option election be
held within the limits of the city
on August IL, to- decide whether
or not Intoxicating liquors

NEARLY FINISHED.
State Has 1,017 Trustees and
Accounts Must be Examin-
ed Under State Law.

The field examiners of the
state accounting board have
about finished their task of max
ing examinations of the Offices OF
the township trustees OF the
state, brave already started ON
the examination of the counties
and cities. There are 1,O17
townships in Indiana and this
glves some idea of the extent of
the job. The examiners have
not only examined the accounts
of the present trustees but have
gone as far back as 1904 and
looked into the affairs of trus-
tees since that time.
The remarkable thing about
the reports the field examiners
have returned in is that in nearly
every instance where crooked
ness or discrepancies were found
they were in the accounts of the
former trustees. 1t has been a
rare case where shortages have
been found in the accounts Oh

The old saying OF "The devil

illustration ON these reform days.

Men have amassed fortunes by
crooked methods and retired to
private life respected and toadied
to-some have gone to their
graves in peace and left large
sums to their children. The
bribe-givers and takers the bank
ers violating the laws during the
recent years are no worse than
were their predecessors. They
simply are later in the business,
and have been caught in the
rising tide of public sentiment
They are the ''hindmost" in the

Increase Indiana's Wheat Yield


| How to make two bushels of
wheat grow where one grew be-

Indiana are considering. The
head OF millers' league of this

more soft winter wheat than
any other state in the union.
And yet the average yield for
ten years is more thaeV (SvZ1p
- bushels to the acre The
average crop in England for ten
years has been 81 bushels to the
acre. 1t is thus seen that Indi-
ana with great natural advan-
tages produces less than one-half
the average yield IN England.
This Difference is attributed to
imperfect methods of cultivation
in this country, and the Indiana
wheat growers are now propos-
ing to get more out OF the soil

area could thus be brought up to
an average of 30 bushels il

the country and would add more
than $4,000 900 annually TO the
profits of the farmers OF the
