Approximately S3,650--
Five After Job.

Contractors bids for the construc-
ton of the Nineteenth ST. pipe sewer
were opened simultaneously Tuesday
morning by the South Bend and Mish-
awaka boards of works. The sewer
is to be constructed jointly by the
two cities and will cost approximate
~ $3.50. Five bids were received and
turned over TO the two city engineers
Moore OF South Bend and Cole Of
Mishawaka-who will tabulate them
and prepare them for letting by the
two boards. A joint meeting is plen-
ned but no date has been set.

the Bowman Creek sewer. Written
IeInonstrances from the Eckman es-
tate and its heirs. the John ID. j.
Farneman estate and the estate of the
Birdsell Mfg Co, were filed. The

1905.
Engineer Hartman represented the
Oliver hotel company in a discussio on
Of the heating contract between the
company and the city for steam
heat to be suppneu from the furnaces
OF the Indiana and Michigan Electric
Co. A suitable remuneration for the
city was argued, and according TO
Pres't Z. NJ Morris, three per cent Of
the total cost to the hotel every year
should be turned by them into the
city treasury.
The proposed contract which was
presented for consideration several
weeks ago, will undergo certain
changes to be agreed upon by the city
and by the hotel company and will
then become valid.

DEADLOCK At YPRES
REMAINS UNBROKEN
British and Germans Are Still
Struggling for Mastery in
West Flanders.

LONDON. Feb. 23.-The deadlock
in the Ypres region of West Flanders,
where the British and Germans are
struggling for mastery, remains un-
broken. This is shown by the install
ment OF Field Marshal Sir John
French's bi-weekly report. which was
issued throUAh the press bureau to-
day. Although both sides are fight
ing desperately for possession OF
trenches, neither has been able TO
secure a decisive victory.
Field Marshal French's report says
in part:
There have been several attacks
and counter attacks near Xpres The
enemy destroyed a British trench and
the British captured a German trench.
The German attack along the La
Bassee canal has been repulsed Else
where there were artillery duels.
at o'clock Sunday the enemy ex-
ploded an elaborate series OF mines
which destroyed one OF our trenches.
A new line. prepared a short distance
in the rear was Immediately occupied.
Attempts OF ,he enemy 10 make fur
ther progress were completely frus-
trated.
Near Gwenchy (France) our in
fantrv. after a successful bonn bard
ment captured and blew up an en-
emys trench. An attempted attack
by the Germans along the LaBassee
canas was easily repulsed by our ar
tllery.
south OF the Lys there has been
an increase in the volume of artillery
and rifle fire wherein our troops have
shown themselves master OF the foe.
Thick weather has impeded the work
of our air men.

DAMAGED BY
NEW BOMBARDNEN7
German Artillery ASSaiIS City
from Two SideS-CathedraI
Is Struck.

PARIS. Feb. 23.-Heavy damage
was done to Rheims by the German
bonn bardment Of the city on Sunday
and Monday. The Germans bonn
barded from two sides, the east and
north, and the cathedral was struck
number Of times. Many buildings
were set on Gre. The Germans used
their biggest guns and il is believed
that a dozen persons were killed and
wounded by exploding shells. The
cannOnade was opened by the bat
teries stationed near Bourgoyne and
soon the artillery massed near Moron
viliers joined in.
During the darkness flames sprang
up from burning buildings lighting
up the sky for many miles. This fur
nished an excellent target for the
German gunners, who made the most
of it. On Monday the sky was over
cast by a thick pail OF black smoke,
which rolled upward from the con-
hagration. After brief lull the
German guns were again in action and
at dawn shells began exploding in the
streets all over the ruined city. The
French batteries stationed behind
Rheims replied TO the German fire
and all day an artillery duel ragged
across the city.
The French trenches along the
NeSle, southeast OF RnelfnS, were diSO
shelled by the Germans.
Both the British and Germans are
claiming success east of Ypres in
West Flanders. On the North sea
coast the French and British artillery
has achieved a distinct advantage
over the German guns. Along the
Meuse the French and Germans are
fighting for the possession of new
high ground in order to push forward
their artillery supports.
Along the valley of the Fecht river
between the pass of Bonhomme and
COlmar, I'm the VOsges, the French
have been compelled to give some
ground, but the lighting there con-
tinues without decisive result.
During the bOmbardment of Calais
yesterday by a Zeppelin a number of
bombs fell near the chief Belgian mil
itary hospital.

ELKHART MAN KILLS
WIFE AND HIMSELF
0eSpOndent Because of Lack of
Work Elmer Rohrer Precipi-
tateS Double Tragedy.
special to The News Times.

ELKHART, Feb. 23.-Shot through
the breast by her husband, Elmer
Rohrer Mrs. Mae Rohrer. 25 years
old, died three hours after she was
found lying in the street in front Of
her home by a milkman at s o'clock
Tuesday morning. Rohrer was found
dying in the home with a bullet hole
revolver in his hand.
The double tragedy was the result,
it is thought by neighbOrs and rela-
tives, of dependency. Rohrer is 80
years old and had been out OF work
for several months. He was at one
time a trustee of OsOlO township and
had later been employed as a book
keeper by a prominent firm of the
city. Mrs. Rohrer was 25 years old
and was well known in the younger
social circles Of the city.
Mrs. Rohrer was found in the street
in front of her home by the milkman,
who carried her into the house and
laid her on a bed. She was not yet
dead, and the milkman first notified
the police and then called a physi-
clan. However she died as she was
being lifted into the police ambulance.
Rohrer died at almost the same time.
The time of the shooting was not
determined by the coroner. According
10 the milkman Mrs. ROhrer when he
found her did not appear to be seriou-
ly injured He thought at first that
she had been run down by an auto
mobile. II was not until she had been
taken into the house and the physi-
clan had arrived that il was discov-
cred that she had been shot
Marital difficulties are not blamed
had been married about FIVE years
and were known to be congenial and
happy. No other reason than that of
despondency on account Of unem-
ployment has been noted by relatives
and friends.

kOAlIANG

Since a mature crop of seed is de-
sired the planting should not be de-
layed much after June 1st. For purely
forage purposes it may be used as a
catch crop or following the removal
of an early grain crop AMI planted as
late as the middle of July. With a
reasonable amount of moisture, there
would still be time to grow a fair
yield of forage.
Kaoliang "a be planted either with
a grain drill or orn planter. 1t may
be either in drills or hills. If drilled,
the rows should be far enough apart to
permit of cultivation and the stalks
should average four or five to the yard.
This requires about four pounds of seed
per acre if the drill rows are three
and one-half feet apart. If planted in
hills, three or four stalks per hull is a
perfect stand. All modern corr plant
ers are, or may be equipped with spe-
cial sorghum plates for either drilling
or checking. The holes for kaoliang
should be about the diameter of a ten
penny nail. If a wheat drill is to be
used, the tubes may be plugged or the
holes blocked so as to put the drill
rows the desired distance apart. None
o. the drills are calculated for kaoliang,
so that it will be necessary to test the
drill and adjust it before starting to
seed. Care must be taken not to plant
too deep, as the seed is small and will
not come through the soil if so plant
ed. One to two inches is a satisfac-
tory depth.-From Experiment Station

SW EET CLOVER

c. II. B., of Hughes county, writes as
follows: Have white blossom sweet
clover and would like TO save seed
crop. Because of rank growth | would
like to cut the hay crop, but what we
cut last year., about the middle of
June, never came on again. Can you
give me information in regard to this
and caring for seed?"
Reply to DR.. A. n. Hume, Agrono-
mist; white sweet clover is a bien-
NAL, thus it natures seed the second
year., not the first. Even where the
crop makes considerable growth in the
first year for hay, it is not expected to
make a cutting for seed. We are send
ing you a copy of bulletin No. ISL. On
page IA you will find a table indicating
yields from Acre 740". Note that in
the year marked in the table 1912 there
were two cuttings, first and second
from this acre which had been seeded
the previous fall in corn, however, it
made 10 seed crop the first year after
seeding. In the second year after seed
ing, however, it produced SO bushels
of unhulled seed per acre.
Mote, however, from the same table
that Acre no" was put into spring
at the time of seeding the wheat.
This clover made a seasons growth
the same season it was seeded, and
bore a seed crop the following season.
that was the result of the
fact that it was seeded sufi GENTLY ear

Your letter does not mention the
age of your present white sweet. clover
If it was seeded early fall spring, that

summer. If it was seeded late last fall,
It will not bear a seed crop this sum-
mer. If it was seeded the present
spring, of course, it will not bear seed
