BIG CREAM DAY
SATURDAY
Back to the Dairy Shown i'm
Cream Receipts

The dairy Gov is coming back
rapidly in this locality, Our city
cream dealers claims to have paid
out over 1855 on last Saturday, for
the one days receipts. The unsatis.
factory results of small grain farm
ing during the past two years may
be a blessing in disguise, if it turns
this locality again towards dairying,
stockraising. feed farming, etc,
which was checked a few years ago
by the craze to break up more wheat
land.
Pioneer farmers are now strongly
advocating this method, which ex-
perience taught them years ago. In
fact, 1t is but the experience of all
localities repeated. Go to Wisconsin
Iowa, Minnesota. Nebraska-any
older state, and the pioneers will
tell you they nearly or altogether
went broke raising wheat. Even
North Dakote, the famed hard
wheat country is going into dairy
ing and mixed farming.
An exclusive wheat country is
a sort of temporary, shanty
community, While a thoroughly
diversified agricultural country
is well developed, with all the
higher and better ideals of rural
civilzation-good homes, plenty
of buildings on the farm, and
good ones, fenced farms, school
houses. churches and thriving mar
ket towns and cities.

KILLED IN FIELD
WHILE SEEDING
Linden Ludlam Meets Death By
Accident

Linden Ludlam. a young man
about &c years old. was found dead
in a field on the T. P. Sutphen farm,
sec. l5 York twp, yesterday. He
was seeding, with one rather un-
ruly horse in his team. The marks
on his BODY were evidently a horses
kick over his heart. When found
by MI Calkins who was driving by.
word was telephoned to town tor
County Coroner Wallis, who soon
made the trip by auto. An examin-
alton disclosed that his neck was
broken, and that he must have died
almost instantly.
No n saw the accident, but as
there were ne foot prints near
where the body was found. it is
supposed that he was kicked off the
seeder. The imprint of bis head
and shoulders in the soft ground
also corroborated this view. The
team a away, and injured two or
three of the horses.
Linden Ludlam was a bright in
dustrious Young man, well liked by
all who knew him. AS far as men,
Dry goes, he leaves a young wife,
nee Carrie Kelley. two sisters, Ella
Ludlam, of Estelline, So. Oak. and
Mrs Louis Remington, of Ohio twp,
and a brother, Lester Ludlam. His
father was known by settlers some
% years ago, but as he was a wan
derer, even his children do not know
whether he il alive or not. Linden's
mothers people were the Richards,
early settlers of Ohio twp. They
now live in Virginia.

Baked IN LOVE
PRINCESS IS DEAD
BEAUTIFUL WOMAN SENDS BUI-
lat Rushing THOUGH
lIER BRAIN.
MARRIAGE WAS OPPOSED
Grand Duke Trowncd on Her En-
gagcmcnt To Man Below
Her in Rank

llEIDELBURG, Germany, Sept. 1s.
Princess Sophia, of -Weimer-
Eiscnach, % years old, beautiful
young woman. unusually popular and
much courtcd by the officers with
whom she often rode behind the
hounds at the Baden court house
hunts, committed suicide early today.
Her body with a bullet wound in
the temple, was found in her room in
the palace of her father, Prince
william.
she was engaged to Hans Bleich-
roedrr, the eldest son of the senior
member Of one Of the most powerful
banking houses In Germany. When
the engagement was announced pre-
maturcy some months ago. It was
learned that the reignng grand duke,
Prince William Ernest stenuously
prohibited the union unless the prin-
cess rcnounced all her titles and Dig
nities This she refused TO do.
Princess Sophia and her parents
were much beloved in Heidelburg for
the interest they had taken I'm the
poor and the general public welfare,
although the father was by no means
wealthy and was living on an appan-
age from the reigning grand duke. AS
head of the family, the grand duke
objected to the union of the princess
with a man who occupied an infer
iOr station in life. Her father il Is
said. was inclined to accede to his
daughters wishes, but was unable to
take an Independent stand owing to
his financial relations with the grand
duke.
No statement of any kind relative
to the tragedy has ben given out and
official confirmation of the suicide
could not be obtained today at Prince
Williams palace But the towns
people have accepted the suicide ver-
sion and the pathetic feature of the
affair has caused deep sorrow.
