Mrs. Martha Ridenour, president of
the Allen County w. c. T. u, and a
member of the board of trustees, was

the board because the Allen county
workers allowed Senator Stephen
Fleming, Fort Wayne brewer, to ad-
dress them July the Fourth. Senator
Fleming spoke to the women on the
new Proctor liquor law. Mrs Upland,
state president, denied that Mrs. Rid
enour was censured, and asserted that
no movement of that kind ever was in

had no Jurisdiction over local union,
excepting when national constitutional

lated.

GOSHEN TEACHER
IS APPOINTED
Governor Marshall Names C. H.
Baldwin
Will Succeed 3. w. Douglass, Whose
Commission Expired Several Weeks
Apo-chanse Is to Become e.
fective November 1.

Indianapolis.-C. H. Baldwin, q
teacher in the Goshen high school.
has been appointed by Governor Mar
shall as state entomologist to succeed
B. w. Douglass. whose commission ex-
pired several weeks ago. Mr.. Bald
wins appointment is to be effective
November 1.
In appointing Mr.. Baldwin the gov
ernor adhered to a determination ex-
pressed some time ago to appoint
college man to the place. Mr.. Baldwin
is a graduate of Bucknell university,
Of Lewisburg. Pa. and much of the
time since his graduation has been
spent in teaching science in high
schools. He is said to have observed
closely the operations of the depart
ment under Mr.. Douglass.
The matter of changes to be made
in the operation of the department
under Mr.. Baldwin will be taken up
later Some time ago the governor
expressed the belief that the state de-
partment and Purdue university
should be brought into closer touch,
with a view of eliminating, as much
as possible. any duplication Of work.
The governor believes that much OF
the field work and the laboratory
work in the nature Of experiments
should be done by the university au-
thorities and that the Office at the
state house should give its attention
chiefly to the inspection Of nursery
stock to guard against insects, and
should join the university authorities
in talks to farmers and orchard grow
ers concerning the propagation and
care of orchards.
The appointment of Mr.. Baldwin is
the first change made in the head of
the department since it was organ
lied
Mr. Douglass expects to see the
governor to arrange for later date
for turning over the office, in order
that he may complete the annual re-
port, which has just been begun. The
governor said reasonable length of
time would be given Mr.. Douglass for
this work. Mr.. Baldwin, on receiving
notice of his appointment, began to
gain an understanding of orchard con-
ditions and to call on newspaper pub
fishers with view to opening cam
paign of education along entomology
cal lines through the newspapers.

cess by c. c. Dean, secretary OF the
state board of forestry.

Payton's lip curled. "Then you will
not return to New York;

'aThen / will carry you home myself

Mr.. Grayman reflected. "What harm

null. 1t will simply give me another
chance. Once at liberty III not be
fool enough to put myself in his power

The easy self assurance of this
speech and Payton's cool assumption
that he was the injured party quite
dumfounded Mr.. Grayman. He saw
the game we'll enough, but he did not
see a way to meet it. He felt a desire
to throttle the fellow. where Is my

piled, "she Is where no police In the

Payton purposely did not finish the

straight into the ~billionaire's eyes. Ii

his contempt, circled around without

from the Chameleon and one of the
