SUITS TO TEST DRY
Law ARE POSTPONED

EVANSVILLE, Ind, Feb. 27.-After
a tWo-bour session in superior court
today the prohibition law test case of
the F. w. Cook Brewing company
against Lane ID. Osborn, Vanderburs
county prosecutor, was continued until
Monday when arguments on the point
in controversy will be heard. Three
witnesses were called including Mich
ael Dausman, president of the Cook
brewing company: Charles Hartmetz,
of the Evansville brewery, and Prose
cutor Osborn.
Mr. Dausman testified that more
than a million dollars are invested in
his plant and that his machinery now
valued at more than 100000 will de-
preciate in value to less than $4,000 If
the dry law is put into effect. Mr..
Hartmetz testified along similar lines
for his concern. Prosecutor Osborn
was asked if he would enforce the
law in case it was held valid. He re-
piled in the affirmative.
Only the case of the Cook brewery
against Osborne was heard here today
the others being held in allegiance until
decision is reached in this one par
ticular contention.

THE obligation of every man, wo.
man and child out OF uniform to help
feed himself will be greater in 1918
than in 1917. Therefore the home gar
dening and canning activities Of last
year must be repeated"
This is the message OF the United
States Department Of Agriculture to
every family. Those who cannot pro-
duce, can conserve and save food
There must be no backsliding among
experienced gardeners; they must re-
peat their contribution of food. Alb
sence of novelty must not deter those
who tried gardening for the first time
in 1917 from capitalizing their increas-
ed knowledge and skill. Those with
experience must help thousands of be-
ginners to make every seed count-to
get satisfactory returns from their
work with hoe, rake and watering can.
There must be no stacking off. Gar
dening is everybody's business, but in
1918 everyone must attend to that
business.
And now word of caution. Don't
plant more than you can cultivate;
don't try to raise more than you can
use. And water Systematically all
spring and summer A few square
yards we'll titled will yield more than
a half acre allowed 20 run to weeds.
The Department advises strongly
against effort by amateur gardeners to
produce truck crops for sale. Such
enterprises commonly prove unwise,
burdensome to all concerned, and not
infrequently financially improbable.
Much precious seed and fertilizer
to say nothing Of time and labor
were wasted last year in such under
takings. The Governments home
gardening specialists believe that best
results will be attained if each family
attempts to raise only enough vege.
tables to supply its cwn table and to
afford the surplus which its members
can dry, can, or store for later home
consumption.

MEMORIAL CHAPEL
TOWER COLLAPSES

OXFORD, O.. Feb. 27.-The tower of
the Kumler Memorial chapel, OF the
Western College for Women, collapsed
this afternoon, taking part OF the
roof and walls OF the main building
with it. A number of workmen saw
the crash coming and escaped injury.
The tower was 26 feet square at the
base and about 80 feet high. Faulty
architectural planning is given as the
cause.
The chapel was being erected at a
cost of $4,000 by Mrs. Anna Kumler
Wight, of Montclair, n. j., and Mrs.
Ella Kumler McKelvey, of Pittsburgh,
Pa, in memory of their parents and
grandfather. Work was being rushed
to complete the building for dedica-
ton on commencement day, June II.
