COURT SAYS

TIMES BUREAU,
AT STATE CAPITAL.

Indianapolis, April The Anti Saloon
League won a big victory Friday when
the supreme court decided that Koko
mo was a dry city. Not only does the
decision make Kokomo dry for at least
two years. but 1t will make Marion dry
also, and force all of the saloons in
the two cities to close up.
There never was such night in In
diana between the wet and dry forces
as took place at Kokomo. and this de-
cision by the supreme court is the last
act in the drama There is no appeal
from the decision. because the supreme
court is the states highest tribunal. 50
the decision must stand
Kokomo is in Howard county. which
is in the ninth district. Howard coun-
ty was one of the strongest dry coun-
ties In the state under the county op-
ton law. In fact at that time there
was not a saloon in the Ninth district,
every one having been put out of bust
ness by the county option law. But
when the county option law was re-
pealed and the city and township OPP
ton law was enacted in Its place, II
resulted in saloons being opened in
several places in the Ninth district.

commissioners of Howard county for

The election was held, and the cleo

various precincts, and on the face OF
these returns the city voted dry by a
majority of twenty-eight votes. But
when the board of election commits
sioners canvassed the vote the board
made a change in the totals from the
Fourth ward on account of some
errors in writing down the figures
Thsse changes changed the result and
made the result wet victory by forty
four votes. As soon as this was done
and Kokomo was known to have voted

plication with the board of county
commissioners for saloon license.

bill had already been overloaded. and
while the committee appreciated the
importance of the Indiana Harbor i'm
provement, it had a policy by which 1t
would not consider any project recon-
mended by the engineer after the first

securing action by congress at this

laurels to Lester Ottenheimer, the clev-

as Lawrence Smith.
Letter Ottenheimer won three first
markings in tho East Chicago high

notch mark in the semi finals at Ham
mond, and the East Chicago people fee
that he is justly entitled to recognition
on that account. especially as this is
the first time in East Chicago's history

Farm Advice and Suggestion
SHARE. FARMING AS IT IS
PRACTtcED IN AUSTRALIA.
Both Farmer and Tenant Find II Prof
table to Grow Good Crops and
Conserve Fertility Of tho Soil.

Share farming on the plan whereby
owner and tenant divide equally all
that Is produced from land Is the com
monest arrangement In America Aus.
trallan owners, however, find 1t better
to follow plan whereby the tenant
gets an increasing proportion Of all the
yield above a certain amount That
puts a premium on careful farming
Here Is the agreement that applies
to one great estate of $4,000 acres,
which is divided into. thirty one farms.
The land has been converted from use
less wilderness, and upon It the ten
ants have prospered.
The landowner provides land ready
for the plow, seed wheat up to a bush
ell an acre, half the bags, Irvine and
fertilizer
The tenant provides machinery, la
Dor and the rest Of the seed, bags, etc.
Owner and farmer divide the crop
equally up 10 twenty bushels an acre.
The next five bushels an acre are given
entirely to the tenant as bonus for a
good crop, and from twenty-five bush
els upward the yield is divided equal
ly again.
Thus from thirty bushels an acre the
owner would get twelve and half
and the tenant seventeen and half,
the latter's share being made up Of
ten out Of the first twenty plus Ave
as a bonus, plus two and half In
the last Ave.
On another large Australian estate
that is owned by company the ten
ant gets everything he can raise above
eighteen bushels to the acre.
Australian landlords also make a
point of following their tenants meth
DDS closely. The man who works the
land often comes from England or
Scotland and needs lessons.-Country

The tragic death Of the Baptist had

weapon when one is dropped by rap

Stout was one of n younger set Of
men in his suburb who were together
q great deal and constantly joking one
another. He talked to them about his
nocturnal trips home, his fear Of foot
pads and what he hoped to accomplish
in case Of attack. One night when he
was passing a dimly lighted place be
tween the street car line and his house
he was seized from behind by both
arms, hand was thrust in his pocket
and $500 in bills taken, together with
his revolver, so that when the robbers
ran away he had no weapon with
which to pursue them.
On reaching his house he found sew
eral of his friends. whom he excitedly
told of his adventure and his loss.
They sympathized with him deeply,
and while doing so two others of the
set, Mark IIamlin and Ben Turner,
walked ill., Stout was somewhat sur
priscd to find callers so late at night
it was II o'clock-but. after all. there
was nothing remarkable in their visit
After listening to his account of the
robbery and asking many questions,
Mark Hamlin handed him the pocket
book of which he had been robbed and
confessed himself the robber.
Then there was general jollifica-
ton Stout brought out turntables and
cigars, and all agreed that very anus

GETTING IN THE "SPUDS."
With Late Varieties Il Is Well 10 Wslt
Until Tubers Are Full Grown.

For late varieties Of potatoes to be
stored 1t is important to wait until the
tubers are full grown and the leaves
have died. After this stage Of devel-
spment the tubcrs separate freely from
the stems and do not have to be jerked
off. The skins are also firm and will
not rub off easily. If the vines have been
seriously injured by blight the tubers
should not be dug until ten days or two
weeks after the vines have died, be-
.cause}they are more likely to keep well
in storage than if dug at once.
If an early frost comes and II the
growing season has been late II may
be necessary 10 dig before the potatoes
are fully matured In such cases there
is usually a greater shrinkage in weight
than usually occurs with fully matured
tubers. For this reason any reason
able offer to purchase the potatoes d.
rect from the field should he accepted.
Potatoes for storage must be dug
when dry, picked up at once and kept
cool. If possible they should he hauled
TO cool place as soon as dug and al
lowed 10 get cooler during the night
before being placed In torage.-Amer-

others told him to own up like man

offer at denial, but being met with
the cry of "Shamer' pushed the but
ton and ordered in champagne. For
an hour there was a merry party-all
except Hamlin, who never opened his
mouth, bearing the chaff Of his friends
without irritation. At the end of the
feast he said:

Poison In cotton.eed Meal.

The cottonseed meal II fed in large
quantities is poisonous has been dem
onstrated by several experiment sta
lions. The Louisiana experiment sta
ton has recently completed an expert
ment on this subject which lasted over
two years. It's conclusions are that
II can be used with perfect safety in
smaller quantities. If more than four
pounds per day Is fed to cows or two
pounds per day to horses and smaller
quantities to hogs for long periods II
has a poisonous effect on the animal
