PROMOTE WHEAT.
Purdue Experiment Station Will
Begin Experiment Along
New Line.

The Purdue experiment. sta
ton which has done so much to
encourage more intelligent corn
culture and beef raising and
dairying will shortly devote spe-
cial attention to increased wheat
production on Indiana farms.
Prof. c.. l.. Christie, who ad-
dressed the Grain Dealers Asso-
citation at a recent meeting, ex-
pressed his belief that the wheat
production in Indiana can be
greatly increased. The average
Yield of wheat in Indiana for the
last FIVE years has been 13.4 bu-
Shells an acre. In Great Britain
the average is thirty-four bushels
an acre, and in Germany twenty
seven bushels an acre.
By proper fertilization and
rotation of crops and improved
methods of cultivation, the Pur-
due experiment station has
found 1T easy to increase the
average Indiana yield more than
ten bushels to the acre. For
the last twenty years there has
been an average yeild on the
Purdue farm OF twenty-eight
bushels an acre, and the natural
conditions there are no better
than they are in the other wheat
growing sections CT the state.
Prof. Christie expresses the
belief that it will be easy enough
to increase the average yield IN
Indiana five bushels on the acre.
About 100000 acres are given
to the wheat growing industry
| in Indiana each year and Prot
Christie points out that an IN
crease in the yield of one bushel
an acre would mean a total in.
crease in the income from the
source of $2,500,000.
The wheat growing industry
is receiving attention in NUM-
Der of states. Nearly all OF the
states where this grain is pro
duced have an unusually low
yield. Only Nebraska beats
Indiana.

That Wonderful Eclipse

only at new moon, and all OF
them know that an eclipse OF the

total eclipse cannot last longer
than three minutes IN this iati-

ecljpses the sun cannot slide
backwards and forwards m the

TEAM WAS SLOW FOR
PLYMOUTH
Ring Old Cry That Visitors
Loaded up Heavily Before
Going Into Game.

The following version of the
game Sunday is from the La
Porte Herald:
About 200 Plymouth citizens
came to Laporte Monday grab
bed the base ball game by the
score of 3 to l, quenched their
thirst with something other than
water and returned last evening
shortly after 6 o'clock as happy
as could be.
Not being able to get game
with Laporte for several years,
they came down here loaded and
it was a case OF do or die. We'll
they did it all right and it was
done by playing better base bali
both ON the offensive and defen-
sive.
Jap" Guhl was on the mound
for Laporte and he seemed to be
away off color, being found for
nine hits, but if his support had
not been leaky in spots he might
have crswled through with his
scalp after all. His team mates
behind him were credited with
five errors which generally came
when they were not wanted.
While Laporte was playing
this ragged game of ball, the
Clippers were going along 'real

yanked himself out of the game

GIVES REASON.
Bremen Newspaper Says Ply
mouth Wished to Build
Costly Boulevard.

The following from the Bre-
men Enquirer gives the opinion
OF an outsider on the failure OF
the road election here:
Tuesday Center township vot-
ed on the road proposed to be
built from Plymouth to the
south lime OF the township,
reaching within two miles OF
Argos. 1t was defeated by a
vote OF 329 for and IA against
the proposition, and a "wayfar-
ing man, even though a fool
can see why.
1t was proposed to expend
about $500 per mile for a road
leading from nowhere to no
where, while it is a matter OF
common knowledge that very
good country roads-ndt so good
as this one was proposed to be,
but yet very good country roads
ten feet wide-are built for
around $4,000 per mile, material
being shipped in,. The attempt
to build a Roman charrot road
at such cost, almost solely for
the benefit OF Plymouth at the
expense of all the people OF Cen
ter township, constitutes the
most SERIOUS encouragement to
good roads sentiment that could
have been conceived.
Every precinct in the town
ship returned a stiff majority
against the road except the
thsrd-In Plymouth. In the
seventh precinct, at Inwood ON
ly six votes were cast for the
road and 158 against it.
This election cannot fairly be
considered am expression OF the
neoole OF Center township
against good roads. 1t was
merely a righteously indignant
protest of people proposed to be
taxed without adequate benehi
to build a costly boulevard fol
Plymouth and the result Should
not be surprising.

LIQUOR QUESTION
: CAMPAIGN ISSUE
CONGRESSIONAL CANDI-
DATES TO FACE QUIZ
FROM LEADERS.
Anti-Saloon League Wants to
Know Position of Men Who
Seek Legislature.

indianapolis, June 1s.-The
Anti Saloon league in Indiana IS
going TO sound out in congress
sional candidates on both tickets
this year on the temperance
question. The main point on
which the candidates will be
quizzed is whether they are for
or against a bill to prevent the
shipment tof liquor from one
state into dry territory in an
other state. This is a question
that would come before congress
rather than before the legislat-
ureS of various states because it
is a matter involving interstate
commerce with whrch the states
have nothing to- do. A bin is
now pending before the house to
prevent such shipments, but
it has never been brought out
for a vote. The anti-saloon peo-
pie have blamed Speaker Cannon
for this situation.
THIS, of course, will be a part
of the work of the national or
ganization of the Anti-Saloon
league, but the league organfza-
tion of each state will be asked
10 help push it along. AS the
law now stands there is no way
to prevent shipments OF hquoi
from offe state into dry territory
in another state, although some
of the prohibition states have
laws under which liquor may bt
seized by the local authorities
the minute it arrives within the
states borders. Much liquor Is
shipped in this way under false
labels.
There IS no telling at thi:
time what the various congress.
sional candidates will say in ans

pected that some of them viii

Mutilated Stamp Not Redeemed

If a man had some nrutilated
postage stamps, some nlutiiated
paper money and some mutilat-
ed coins and endeavored to save
something ont of the general
wreckage he would be inclined
to the opinion that Uncle Sam
| is a triflle inconsistent.
| In the first place he would find
that his mutilated stamps were
not redee1nable at postofices.
If his coins were badly worn ne
would find also that they were
not redeemable, though he may
dispose OF them ats bullion. 1t
the COINS were only bent or even
twisted. however. he could have
them redeemed if they had be-
come injured in a fire without
having lost any of their weight
His paper money he would flnd,
could be redeemed, even though
IT had reached stage where the
ordinary man could not well dis
tinguish Just what It was. There
seems to be no explanation avail
able. as to- why Uncle Sam be
Ihaves in this mann er. 1T IS
suggested that if he redeemed
postage stamps IT would be
necessary to have separate de-
partment in Washington devoted
to this work. OF course, a large
warm. moist man is apt to be-
come a triAe incensed when he
discovers that quantity OF his
postage stamps have become
gumnled together and in an at.
fectionate conglomeration and
that though he paid spot cash TOR
those stamps he has no recourse.
However, if he had invested his
money in the regulation stamped
envelopes, and these envelopes
were mutilated by wrong ad-
dresses or in some such manner,
he could have the envelopes re-
deemaa .e for a certain per cent
not for cash. The regulation IN
regard to not redeeming postage
stamps is an old one and bears
with it the provision that no 1nu-
tilated stamps may be used IN
transporting mail matter. Inc
latter provision, however was not
very carefully enforced up to
within a short time ago, when
orders were sent out by the
postofice department that IT
should be rigidly enforced. and
that a stamp must not be used
even though only a very small
portion OF it was missing. So
rigid was the order, in fact, that
if there are. several stamps on a
letter and one stamp overlaps an
other 1T destroys the carrying
power OF the stamp thus partly
covered. OF course, part OF the
stamp so covered might have a
small portion of it missing. But
lust wl1v all this is as it is seems
unexplained.

SHOCKING REPORT
ON CHILD LABOR
INVESTIGATION DISCLOSE
VIOLATIONS OF LAW IN
MANY PLACES.
Commissioner Who Has Worked
in Accordance With Reso-
luton Makes Exposure

Washington, June 1.-THE
report OF the commissioner of
labor, who has been investigat-
ing conditions OF child labor in
the United States pursuant to a
resolution introduced by Senator
Beveridge was transmitted to
congress today. The investiga-
ton has cost more than $780,
600 and has engaged a large
force steadily for three years.
The report submitted is, the
first installment and is so volum-
inous that it had to be hauled
down to congress in wagon.
1t deals with child labor in the
cotton textile industries and re-
veals conditions which are GER
tain to- shock the American peo-
pie. Senator Beverage will use
it as a text for an elaborate
speech which he will make in the
senate soon, probably on next
Saturday.
The report, which goes into
the subject with infinite detail
shows that children are employ
ed without regard to the dictate;
of humanity and in violation Cd
the statutes of the various
states where the industries are
located. The investigation now
covers four states of New Eng

He said it was eczema and from that

and hands were a solid sore. There
was no end to the suffering for him.
We had to tie his little hands to
