ASSESSORS REPORT
SHOWS PROSPERITY
With Small Exceptions All of
236,748 Acres in County
Are Being Used.
WHEAT OF 1912 POOR
Horses Sold Last Year Were
Valued at More Than
$131,00O
WHEAT OF 1912 POOR

Farms in Wayne county, of more
than five acres number 1927, the total
acreage being 236,74S, according to
the 1912 report of County Assessor
Mathews submitted to the state Of
ficials. The report was completed
ship assessors in the county.
That a large per cent of Wayne
county farms are leased is shown by
the report, there being 56,183 acres
farmed by tenants. The orchard land
is included in 3,O39 acres, which Is
approximately the same as 1912. On
the various farms there are 448 wind
mills and 1877 silos. More than 81
452 acres of land are in timber though
the timber land Is decreasing each
year. A total of 3,519 acres is not
used and 64,1S7 acres are used for
pasture.
The poor wheat crop of 1912 is
shown in the report. In 1912 26,-
285 acres were planted in wheat in
this county and only yielded 272,809
bushels of wheat. This is approx
mately sixty per cent of a normal crop
according to the county agricultural
agent. The crop of wheat in Wayne
county this year is ten per cent bet
ter than the average crop.
Corn Crop Heavy.
AS much as 2,324,7 752 bushels of corn
were raised on 56,6444 acres of Wayne
county land in 1912. This report is as
good as usual though the crop this
year will exceed that of last year.
Wayne county's corn crop is one of
the finest in the state according to all
officials who have inspected this Sec
ton.
The oat crop last year was the larg-
est and finest it has been for years in
this section. The yield was large,
there being 635.120 bushels raised on
1895 acres. The crop this year is a
good one though the figures will not
total as high as the yield of 1912.
In the entire county only one acre

MAYOR GAYNOR LAID
TO HIS FINAL REST
One Million School Children
Recess During Services
at Trinity Church.

NEW YORK, Sept. 22-New York
today paid it's last tribute to the late
Mayor Gaynor, the funeral ceremony
which came to a close this afternoon
with interment in Greenwood ceme-
terry, having been the most impressive
ever accorded a man in the metrop-
oils.
After twenty-four hours of fog and
rainfall, the sun came through the
clouds at 1920 o'clock, just as eight
stalwart policemen and nremen were
carrying the flag draped casket from
the city hall to the hearse drawn by
sixteen coal black horses.
Tens of thousands of men and wo-
men lined Broadway and adjacent
streets between the city hall and Trim
ity church, where the main services
were conducted. Overflow services
were held in st. Paul's church. The
honorary pall-bearers included William
Howard Taft, former president of the
United States, Acting Mayor Adolph
Kline. Martin J. keigh. justice of the
supreme court of New York state, Her
man Ritter, a German newspaper own
er, and Jacob Shift, multi-millionaire
banker.
From the hour in which Mr.. Gaynor
was granted royal honors in Liverpool,
England. until the last rites today, sol
emn honors of unusual impressiveness
were paid his memory. Just as the
services began in Trinity church the
city ceased for one hour its manifold
activities as a tribute to the late Off
cial. An hours recess was given to
nearly 100000 school children in the
city.

HATCH DEED AT DANCE

With no evidence against them, ex.

mon obtained confession from Ed
ward Ryan and Frank Stout, sons OF
farmers living near Oklahoma, a small
suburb of Richmond, that they robbed
Mr.. and Mrs. Richard Loan, an aged
couple living in Preble county, of $500
on August Is.
Stout. whose twentieth birthday is
today, says he was forced to take part
In the burglary, under a threat of his
life II he refused. Both were turned
over to Sheriff Wertz, of Eaton, today
They had planned to join the army
after the robbery.
Ryan was the instigator of the rob-
berry, according to the police, having
known that the Loans had $500 in
their house, the result of years of saw.

had. He attempted to enlist Donald
Davis, who was sent to the reforma-
tory for entering and robbing the clo-

refused to take part in it, the police
said.

The matter was broached to Stout,
who refused to take part in it. Final
ly, after Ryan had threatened to kill
him II he did not assist him, Stout
agreed, and the plans were made at
public dance at Jackson park short
ly before the robbery was committed.
The two then went to Hamilton, and
on August Is. Ryan said the plan was
ready. The two then hired a horse
and carriage at an Eaton livery stable.
Stout says he took no part in the
robbery, and that he received no mon
ey. He says he was ordered by Ryan
to hold the horse and watch while
Ryan entered the home through a
window
Heavily masked, Ryan reused the
couple from sleep and demanded the
money. At the point of a revolver
the two crept to the trunk which held
their savings and showed Ryan where
the money was. He took it and told
them that he would return and shoot
them If they "squealed." He fired a
shot out of the window as he was
leaving.
Ryan Pockets Booty.
When Ryan came out and removed
his mask, Stout says, he cursed the
people and said that he had secured
only a dollar. Stout says he knew

That Turkey should have been
forced out of Europe sixty years ago,
and that the Crimean war and the
Strengthening of Turkeys power in
Europe were the results of a false
policy on the part of England and
France, resulting in the Balkan war
of today, was the statement made by
President Kelly, of Earlham College,
in an address on the Balkan war. de-
livered before the Mems brotherhood
at the First NJ. E. church yesterday
morning.
The Balkan war was a justifiable
war;" said President Kelly 1T was a
civilized war, waged not for the acqui-
sition of territory, nor the securing of
commercial privileges, but waged by
the Christian Balkans for their lives,
liberties and the privilege of worship
ing God. The Turk is wicked man,
he has waged war all his life for con-
quest, and conquest is out of date in
the twentieth century. The Turk is a
parasite, living off of the nation he
conquers. The Turk Is a murderer
and an assassin. He has gotten along
in the world by doing everything that
is despicable.
Europe Opposes Treaty
THE Balkan people could stand it
no longer, and when they arose. the
whole Christian world approved of the
war. But now the war is over, and
the peace treaty has been signed. But
the Literary Digest says that no Euro
pean newspapers approve OF the treaty
because the basis of settlement is such
that it will result in more bloodshed
and war The division made by the
treaty is purely geographical and has
been made without regard for the
prejudices, religions and races. Moth
ing has been settled and no results
have been obtained, so another war is
expected"
Several remarkable things have
been the result Of this war, however,
continued Prof. Kelly. One of the
most settled military theories was ex-
ploded The trained soldier who knew
nothing else but to fight, was whipped.
and was whipped by peaceful people.
AS one European paper said, the Bal
kans had been living in the stagnating
and enfeebling conditions Of peace.

NO MONEY NEEDED
FOR CROP MOVING

Local banks do not need any of the
money that is being distributed from
Washington TO assist in the moving of
the crops. The frst instaIlment of the
money for the west has been sent to

The need for money to move crops
is not being felt generally in Indiana,
and the distribution will be greater
