IDLE TALK.
CValdA Miner. )

With all the talk about war babies and polygamy emanating from Eng fish statesmen. you would think civ ilization had skipped several cogs. and we had again become barbarians. These are but the phantasmagoria or a surcharged brain. as no matter how the war goes, a nation as civilized as England could not lay aside her rnor- als and her virtue as an old cloak. The nation that conceived the Fundamental laws of the civilized world. could no'
 itself become opponents Of It's own teachings In a day nor year. When ! the war Is over we may look for some economic disturbances for year or so. but in five or ten years time the nation will again take It's place among the leaders of civilization. The de- struction Of the home would be a
 greater loss to England than the loss of her trade and colonies. We believe that In R few months after the war
 John Bull will become his staid. sober
 self again, and that he will be willing to leave the question of re-colonizing that right little. thgt little ale to Dame Nature and the women.

reconstruction following the strife,

Mayor Thompson is in Office This
announcement came from the city

Pressure from the Second and

supposed to have made up the

for Chicago.
The film which seeks to justify the

which followed the civil war in the
south and brings home the failure of
the dead presidents plan of return
ing the southern negroes to Africa
has caused riots in other cities when

AUTOS TO FARMERS
Best Field For Sale is Amonu
The Men Who Cultivate
the Land.

The farmers are the men most in
terested In the new things i'm automo
bile design. That means that the
automobile men are looking toward
the men who till the soil as pros.
pectlve buyers for their goods. hence
tie officers of the Indianapolis Trade
Association, in arranging their open
ing week, March 8-13, are preparing
exhibits, entertainment and reception
which will interest the Indiana farm
er.
Most of the automobiles which are
sold through Indianapolis as a dis
trlbuting point go to the farmer or
the resident of the small town.
The farmer is Americas greatest
purchasing power Consequently his
financial status is the best criterion
on which to ba'e an estimate of the
country's prosperity.
As James J. Hill says, the largest
single industry in the United States
Is the tllling of the soil. The people
engaged in agriculture number 70
100000. In manufacturing manu-
featuring arts, including mechanics.
wood workers, blacksmiths and 9TH
ers, there are employed 10000 900
people. Trade, merchandising and
commercial pursuits give employ
ment to 100000. TRANSFORMATION
lines make a livelihood for $500. 900.
In other words, agriculturalists in
this country constitute more than
one-third of all the people engaged in
any occupation.
The purchasing power of the farm
er Is perpetual. He always has some
thing he can sell at any time. The
people in the cities need what the
farmer grows. He provides the nee
eSsaries of life. He is never out of
work. He has ready money TODAY
The real power of any nation de-
ponds, not upon the size of its army
or navy, nor the cash in its banks.
but upon the number and quality of
Its food producers. With one-third
of the food producers of the world on
the field of battle and another third
unable to market It's produce. the re-
maining third, mostly American. has
become the worlds provisioner and
is becoming highly prosperous in q
time of depression for the rest of the |
world.
Our farmers have gathered crops /
OF unprecedented abundance and are
them at the highest prices
received for many years. Whatever
Else the survivors of the var -av
lack they must have food. The
farmer has been helped-not hurt
by the war.

had indianapolis a downtown place
10 hold a centralized show. a central.
ized exhibition might be held this
year, as that sort of display has
many supporters among the Indiana
polis dealers. However, without such
accommodation the dealers believe
the best exhibition of automobiles
can be made in their salesrooms.
The Indianapolis Auto Trade Asso-
citation has not changed much from
year ago. There are some new
dealers and some who are gone. The
population along automobile row
changes just enough to be interest
ing. Two new directors serve on the
association board, w. B. Peterson and
A. II. Smith.
The dates were selected with the
nope OF having ideal weather-weather
which will permit of persons from
throughout the state getting into
indianapolis, for it is from the farms
and the smaller cities that the major
ity of buyers will come.
The advertising of the show has
been placed in the hands of Joe Kelly
who has done similar work for past
auto shows. Some high-class, enter
talnment is to be provided visitors
and probaly there will be some stunt
on the closing night which will be
worth while.
A decoration committe has been
named which will decide on n general
scheme of decoration. Some deal |
ers favor uniformity of decoration.
Others are for allowing each dealer
to work out scheme of his own. The
business houses of indianapolis will
decorate their stores and windows in
manner appropriate to the auto
show work.
The show will consist of all sorts
of cars, electric and gasoline. com
merclal and pleasure. The sales
rooms are concentrated so we'll that
visitor may view all the cars shown
IN short time. The accessory men
are more scattered and there may be
n plan worked out to allow accessory
men to have space in some of the
dealers rooms.

There are some who believe tina;
the making of multiple cylinder en-.
gines in numbers greater than skies
is the coming thing. There will be
several eight cylinders at the India

RAISE BROOM CORN.

Jackson, Mis-, June 9.-Planters in
this section of the state are turning
their attention, to considerable ex-
tent of late, to the growing of broom
corn, realizing that this product can
be successfully cultivated and mar
keted.
One of the first men to agree to
plant broom corn is Col. r. L. Saun-
ders, who says he will put five acres
in this product as an experiment. A
market for broom corn was recently
created by the removal here from
Kentucky of broom factory, secured
through the efforts of the Young
Mems Business Club of Jackson
Backing up their offer to the factory
to see the planters and induce them
to plant broom corn, committee o.
the club is interviewing the planters.
When Col Saunders considered the
proposition he decided to make the
experiment, and has been assured Of
a ready market.
The broom corn to be planted by
Col. Saunders viii Ec secured from
the broom factory, as it is said to be
important that a certain quality be
used.
One of the owners Of the broom
works, discussing this new field for
farmers, said;
you plant broom corn exactly like
you do sorghum, if anything a little
bit thicker. and you realize between
500 and $50 per acre, the price, OF
course, being determined by the quail
ity CT the product. In Kentucky they
average about 1880 pounds to the
acre and Mississippi soil should pro
duce equally as good results"
