Ii. v.lu. Of . Clover Crop.

In our travels In Virginia we often
pass along q highway where corn is
grown on either side of the road. Very
frequently good held Of corn that
will make from 10 to is barrels per
acre 10 to be seen on the one side.
while perhaps the other side would
not make ave: and upon inquiry We
almost invariably hnd that the farmer
has crimson clover or some other
crop turned down in the spring. The
contrast is greater this season than
In other years for the reason that the
weather here has been very dry and
the field where the clover had been
turned in ntthst9od the drouth much
better II the land has plenty Of hu.
mus in 1t good corn can be raised
when we have little rain. II these dry
seasons are to continue farmers Will
appreciate more and more the I'm
portance Of keeping up the organic

Obituary of DR.. Brooke.

DIR. Jerred E. Brooke passed to his
long time home Friday morning
March 81, 1911, at nine O'Clock. He
had been i'll for several months, but
his death was more due to his ad-
vaneed age than to any disease. He
was in his ninety first year.
DR.. Brooke was born in Lawrence
vile, Chester county, Pennsylvania,
August 9, 1920, where his father was
manufacturer of guns for the Gov
ernment. He came to Indiana as a
young man and first clerked in a
store at Mishawaka. Later he studied
medicine at indianapolis and gradu-
ated from the Indiana Central Medi-
cal College in 1851. He came to Plym-
outh in 1854 and practiced medicine
here for many years. During the
Civil War he served as surgeon in
the army for three and one half
years.
DIR. Brooke was very quiet man,
but during his long practice in Plym-
outh he did much good, serving the
poor very frequently without price.
He was at one time considered the
best read physician in town and had
the largest practice, but retired from
the active practice about thirty years
ago. He was a member Of no church
in Plymouth but was in faith a Uni
versalist. On September 80, 1847, be
married Mary r Williams of LaPorte
and they have lived to enjoyed a
welded life nearly sixty-four years.
He leaves, besides his wife, who is
nearly eighty-foury six children: Mrs
Estella Helm, who has made her home
for some years with her parents on
Jefferson street, in Plymouth and five
sons, Howard M. Of Casey, ILL.,, Cliffe
M. of Kansas City, Mo-, Ed. s. Of
Salt Lake City, Utah, Chester v. Of
Peru, Ind, and Harry R. of Oklahoma
The funeral was held at the home
on Sunday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock

Much Miscalculation

There was much miscalculation as
to the outcome though the wet forces
came closer to the result than the
drys. The vets were much astonish-
ed and disappointed at the result in
the First and the drys were much
disappointed and astonished at the
results in the Second and the Third.
They expected to carry the Third by
20 or so and get some majority in
the Second, while the vets looked
confidently for a majority of go to
100 in the First.
The vets had much the better or
-ganization had more money. There is
no doubt that some voters were
bought and of course the drys took
no hand in anything like that. The
wet organization brought home every
available voter from distance while
the drys paid little or no attention to
that important feature of the fight.
While the interest was strong as
the heavy vote showed, it was noted
there was an absence. of any bitter
feeling on the other side. It was said
that the people are getting so ac-
customed to elections that they take
ii as the ordinary course of business
and act accordingly.

MR. SUNDAY ATTACKS BOOZE
Evangelist In Address at Warsaw
Monday night Produces Strong
Argument Against Saloon.

"Billy" Sunday tackled the saloon
proposition at Warsaw Monday even
ing and produced scme strong argu-
nOnts that may be of interested to
;hose of Plymouth who are to cote
on this question March 81.
Mr.. Sunday stated that statistics
show that rs per cent of the idiots,
80 percent of the paupers, 81 per-
cent of the crimes and 80 per cent
of the adult criminals are the result
of the saloons. "Whiskey," said
"Billy" is worse than war or pestil-
ence. The latter rob men of their
bodies, while whiskey robs them of
their minds and souls as we'll as their
bodies.'
He said: ''It is argued, that farm
ers wont come to trade in "dry"
town if there is "wet" town near
by. If this is the truth, why is it
that at the option elections from rs
to 90 per cent of the farmers vote
"dry"? And if it is true, why is it
that the brewery legislature has
changed the option law so that the
farmer is excluded from voting in th.
city elections. If the people of War
saw are to have the right to decide
whether or not this city shall be wet
or dry, why not let people of War
saw pay for the cost of prosecuting
and caring for all the criminals that
are caused by the open saloons.
