the court met in the woods near Rich.

"A traverse jury was impanneled,
and took their seats upon log,
says David Hoover's record. THE in

forth that the boy, with force and
arms did feloniously take, steal, and
carry away, the knife
Jeremiah Cox, afterwards a men,
Der of the constitutional convention,
and one of the subsequent proprie-
tors of Richmond, was on tie jury.
He thought the boy guilty, but he
thought the indictment was rather
too bold for so small an offense."
No record was kept of the outcome
of this case.
The first grand jury was impan-
neled on the 18th of March, Ill, and
consisted Of twenty persons. The re-
searches of John B. Stitt. published
in the Palladium in 1852, furnish
posterity with the names Of this jury.
They were Jesse Davenport, David

Madam, not to evade your ques-

moss is to a man in my condition?
A year ago a manufacturer engaged
boy For months there was nothing
noticeable about the boy except that
he never took his eyes off the work he
was doing. A few weeks ago the
manufacturer looked up to see the
boy standing beside his desk.
What do you want?" he asked.
Want me pay raised"
What are you getting?"
Ten shillings a week."

Fifteen shillings"
"You think so, do you?"
yes, sir; an I've been thinkin' so

The boy got the raise.

Big Men and the Victory Loan

The big men of Indiana have lined up unani-
mously for the Victory Liberty Loan.
Leaders of business, prominent educators and
others well known in public life of the Hoosier
state are giving their unqualified support to the
loan. Interviews with them disclose patriotic
ardor in striking contrast to the claims of apathy
and pessimism that were current few weeks
ago. 1t is realized by these men that the sue
cessful flotaton of the loan by popular subscrip-
ton is not only patriotic duty but national
necessity, and they are lending their influence to
make the drive an overwhelming success.
The argument that the banks should take
care of the loan is disposed of by DIR. G.. l.. Mack
intosh, president of Wabash College, follows ::
1T is of the utmost Importance that every Amerl-
can with soul in his body shall cooperate in
floating the Victory Liberty Loan. We cannot
expect the banks alone to undertake this matter.
If they are compelled to do so, many manufac-
turing and other business interests would be at
a standstill for the lack of money which the banks
would be unable to furnish. This would be pleas
ing to the |. W. w. and other sinister groups.

w. L. Bryan, president of Indiana University
sums up the situation as follows: The best Vic

man reaching for his pocketbook and saying,
Sure Well Finish the Job. We have made &

not finished the job. And the job must be finish

The Call for Harvest Hands

1t may seem as if it is far call to harvest
time, but spring weeks quickly merge into the
harvest season, and often before we are aware is
heard the cry for harvest hands to garner the
crop And so it may not be amiss to call atten-
ton to the need of farm workers for ripening
fields of 1919.
Wayne county probably will harvest the ban
ner wheat crop of its history. Estimates made
in December 1913 showed that "a per cent of the
farmers who reported had planted 38,615 acres
of wheat, and the per cent who failed to res
pond to the missionaries had planted enough
wheat to swell the county acreage to between
Al, 1000 and $4,000 acres. This is phenomenal for
Wayne. Farmers say the condition of wheat
today predicts bumper crop.
An abundance of wheat predicates the neces
sity of men to harvest it. The rehabilitation
of the army has sent back hundreds of Wayne
county farmer boys, but even this number may
not suffice to garner the crop in the short time
allotted for this purpose.
Kansas will need about 1000 harvest hands.
E. E. Frizelle, large wheat grower of Kansas,
who has charge of the work of mobilizing labor
ers for the harvest says there is no guess work
about his estimate. The state of Kansas has
begun to mobilize it's workers on the theory that
every available man that can be spared from
other lines of industry will be called on.
Indiana does not grow the amount of wheat
Kansas does, but that does not mitigate the i'm
pcrtance of taking time by the forelock in pre-
paration for the harvest. The wheat grown in
Wayne county will not wait for the mobilization
once the harvest time arrives. Now is the time
to get ready.

Settling Up
BY l.. A. KANDLEY


Old Bill Simpkins says, says he,
If I was settling up this thing,
I'd train my guns upon the Hun
And fill EN- full of deadly sting;
I'd get the boys in line complete,
And then I'd lay the papers down,
Id point my finger at the place,
An say nov sign, you dirty hound
He had no mercy on the folks
Who fell within his power,
And not a bit I'd give to him,
Nor wait single hour;
And Old Bill Simpins said, said he,
I'd give him just a minute
To sign the pact, or give him hell.
And then I'd shove him in it.
The boys have done their duty well,
The war is safely won,
But we have got to stand in line
Until the "moping's" done;
And now we've got to go and sell
More bonds to foot the bill,
And just want to say to you,
By gosh, that's what we will.

BEHIND THE LINES OVER HERE
 Being The Revelations of U. s. Secret Service Man

(COntinucu)
 The case against Dr. Muck does not depend entirely on letters already published in the Herald which he wrote to a young Back Bay woman. She was not his only correspondents; she was not the only young woman who was victimized. Her part in the case is ended. She was very young and was deeply imposed upon. No blame rests on her, and their reia- tions were not what might be argued from the letters which Dr. Muck wrote. There are other correspond ents of Dr. Muck whose letters are event more interesting.
 In letter to & Boston woman, written from New York on March 12, 1918, he scathingly referred to two Boston bankers who were largely re- sponsibe for the organization of the Symphony orchestra.
 ~ have long since lost all faith in these men, said pr. Muck in his let ter.
 1t was apparent then that he ap- preclated that he was getting near to the end of his rope, for he said in his letter:
 ''In Position of Guilty One"
 "Under the present circumstances | would not have been able to conduct another season, anyway. But that he merely compelled mo to mako the an them sacrifice while he explained to me on his word of honor that he would immediately disband the or chestra if I refused, and he explained to me on the same word of honor that he would at my departure at tho end of the season aisband the orch2s- tra: and that ho is now setting heav- on and earth in motion to find q Trenchman or q Belgian as my suc- cessor, and now the story goes calm ly on only that my scalp shall hang upon the belt of MT. ------- and his Boston friends That is the whole point. for. of course, it places mo in the position of a guilty one
 During this time much energy was expended by Dr. Muck's sponsors 10 show that he was 8 Swiss citizen. He did have SwiS citizenship papers, but had only resided in thas country for Il few months and his claim to Swiss citizenship was based on the fact that his father q German, in order to own land in Switzerland. was obliged to become u Swiss citizen.
 The evidence in the possession 0. the United States government further shows clearly that pr. Muck Wls a German clGiIen ana ono e. tllc tLbiCSI Germans m this country; Furthermore, it. Is clear that for years he had been on extremely close terms with the imperial German family.
 His deep interest in tho German cause is indicated in various letters written to Boston people. These eS- tracts, from letters written in, 1915 Q and 1916, show thnt even then he was busily engaged in German propagan- da; for instance, the following eX- tract:

Even now the perfidious, shrieking g-to-heaven treason of Italy. My Germany is like noble stag which only cowardly hyenas and jackals attack at once, but, God knows, it has sharp antlers.

 A month before the United States declared war on Germany, in a letter written to a Boston woman, he said:
 T am already thinking that I can hardly keep up any longer this t1or- rible life in a country full of fanati- cal enemies, far from my country which is struggling for it's existence.

 Bemoans Plight of FatherIand.
 Again during tho month Of Febru- ary, when the German activities were cropping up in every section of the country, he said in a letter to a young woman, written from New York:
 '"The train arrived promptly on time and from 9:30 to t2:30 I had q miserable painful conference with gentlemen who Wednesday morning leave for Germany. Fatherland, Fath- crland, if I could only help you" If more evidence were necessary to prove the deep sympathy which pr. Muck had for Germany and his hatred of America, there arc ]a num- Der of letters of similar character to prove this in the archives of tho gov crnm ent.
 Chum and Crony of Bcrnstorfl.
 It was on April i, 1917, that Dr. Muck was. called into the office of the United States district attorney in Bos- ton, and he was asked to what corps 1 he belonged at Heidelberg, where he was chum and crony of Bernstorff, and he answered, "rhe Schwaben Corps

In the Kitchen Of her own nome Soi3- ter Mary cooks daily for family or four adults. She brought to her kitch- en an understanding of the chemistry of cooking, gained from study of do- mestic science in a state university. Consequently the advice she offers is a happy com bination of theory and practice Every recipe she gives is her own, first tried out and served at her family table.
 There's no room in a woman $ house that reflects her personality quite so clearly as does her kitchen. It's her secret chamber, perhaps her chamber of secrets. In it are spent at least half of the working hours of the day.
 For this reason the health and happiness of every housekeeper de- bends on the location and equipment of this room which is her workshop and laboratory.
 The ventilation of the kitchen means as much to the whole house as it does to the kitchen alone. Windows placed so that a cross draught can DC made, one window opened at the top and the other at the bottom will keep the air reasonably fresh and free from the cooking odors When even the 'upSta1rS' Ot the house aQVertlSCS the food being cooked for dinner, it's a pretty good sign that something is wrong with the kitchen supply of fresh air.

 There is more reason for choosing a certain fruit at breakfast than 'tWould seem. To serve an acid fruit with d cereal and cream is great mistake. The com bination may cause ferm enta tion in the stomach which will mean indigestion. Grape fruit is the most acid of fruits and should be served only in com bination with fried foods.
