While admitting on Wednesday az
ternoon that we have now had plenty
Of rain, Frank Jones, of Richmond.
stoutly maintains that whatever losses
may come to farmers who still have
corn to plant, that the benefits from
recent rains will largely overbalance
them. mo one can tell how much
good these rains have done, all over
Indiana" said he. 1T is simply won
derful, this change in wheat prospects,
and the growth of oats and clover, in
fact all the grasses" AT to corn, Mr..
Jones is also behind his schedule. He
has 80 acres prepared for corn and
not quite half Of it in, but says that
doesn't fret him any "The ground is
full Of water now and when planted
corn will make a quick start" is the
way he puts it.
Some Very Fine Wheat.
As to wheat Frank Jones claims that
Franklin township has a number. of
fields that promise as good crops as
have ever been grown in Wayne coun-
ty. Says he has 80 acres which can't
be beat anywhere, and that the clover
in 1t is as thick as hairs on dog"
Also says that dozens of farmers have
told him how greatly their wheat and
grass crops have improved within the
past few days, owing to the rains.
FIeeces Averaged ID Pounds.
Ben Foreman, who is farming the
old Jonas Gaar place, southeast of
town, reports shearing a bunch of
ewes, whose f1eeces averaged IA
pounds. Says he was lucky enough to
get in 55 acres Of corn between rains
and still has II acres to plant. He
sowed no wheat last fall but has 40
acres of thrifty looking oats. Mr..
Foreman Is feeding about 100 head of
hogs and has 40 head of young short
horn cattle which will be put on
pasture shortly.
Thinks Wool Pool o. x.
Gaar Eliason, of Centerville, says
he had Just gotten his corn planting
under way when Mondays rain broke
up the combination. He says that the
40 acres of wheat still standing has
shown great improvement in past ten
days, that timothy is looking fine, and
that, on the whole, the rain has been
of great benefit to oats and all
grasses, but that few sunny days are
row in order. Mr.. Eliason is on the
Wool Pool committee which meets at
the court house on Saturday night and
believes that the pool will be put
over.
Arthur Curme is also a member of
the Wool Pool committee and it is his
idea that the Wayne county wool pool
will be formed. If so, all the wool
will probably be brought to Richmond,
put into a warehouse and buyers mott
fed where it may be inspected, and on
what day it is to be sold.
Harry Gilbert's Views.
According to Harry Gilbert, who Is
in close touch with Wayne county
farmers, and who is considerable of a
farmer himself, these "too frequent
rains have gotten on the nerves Of

THEY STILL MARRY

are not good in New York, and so the question has to be referred to the cor poration counsel. MT. Scully's favorite story is of one very good looking bride, who brought five different divorce de- crees with her when she appeared with her sixth bridegroom.
 'She did not seem to he the least bit perturbed, says MT. Scully, and as she left the office she told me flip panty that she might see me again sometime.'
 The great majority of couples. how ever, are handed their licenses with out question in an atmosphere as hos pitable as the city can make it. As the prospective bride and groom enter the municipal building. they behold l large gilt arrow on the marble wall of the corridor, and beneath it in gilt letters, ITO the Marriage License Btu reau-One Flight" To get married lr is not even necessary to take an ele- vator. Broad marble stairs lead tO matrimony. On the second floor thev enter quiet, businesslike room, con- taining many tables and chairs and d series of widowed partitions, such as they have in banks. The two make out their application at one of the tables, and swear to it's truth before a clerk on the other side of one of the windows. There are attendants to an swer questions, and. since al least 50 per cent QI lIle HOuDleS are foreigners, interpreters for their benefit.
 Upon receiving the license, many of them slip quietly out and take the ele- vator to the third floor. Here they sit on a long bench in rather dreary room, waiting their turn to be married in the city's marriage chapel. Every imaginable type of human being ia found here-everybody from a success ful business man to a colored factory worker
 The marriage chapel itself is a little more pleasing. with a gayly decorated ceiling a red-carpeted platform in place of a pulpit, and several potted festive air. It is doubtful if the cou- pIes notice this mild grandeur. how ever. so frightened and self conscious are they, many of the brides weeping copiously throughout the ceremony, and all of the grooms appearing un- comfortable and depressed.
 Mir. Cruise, who does most of the marrying, is the same sort of a genial soul as Mir. Scully, and usually he is able to mitigate the terrible sobrietv of the occasion by a jest. Occasionally. he IS surprised to find a groom who also enters into the affair in a merry frame of mind.
 "Is this the first time?" asked MT. Cruise of one such the other day; to which the groom replied, The first time today, sir"
 In this marriage chapel. New York provides one of the cheapest weddings that can be had in this country, which may account for it's great and endur- ing popularity. The whole ceremony, including the license and everything costs only S3. This explains why so many people come to New York to be married. IL is the most economical way It may even explain why so many get married at all. So few peo- pie can resist a bargain.

 MT. Francis J. Heney was asked to undertake the work of prosecuting the grafters- tThis history is told by MT. George Kennan in McC1ure'S magazine of Sept, 1907) MT Heney thought it his duty to warn MT. Spreckles of the possible result of a fearless investiga- ton. If you carry this fight through to a finish" he said, without discrim- ination and without favor, you may ultimately find yourself up against men of wealth, power and high social position. Some of them may even be your personal associates and friends. They will naturally turn against you, and in defending themselves they will do you all the harm they can. You must be prepared for loss of friends, injury to your business, false state ments about your character and mo- tives, and worries and annoyances of all kinds You must even be ready to take the risk of assassination, because when men are threatened with the penitentiary and see no other way of escape they sometimes commit mur- der, or hire it done."
 Mir. SpreclSles replied that he was prepared to take the risk, and asked Mir. Heney what he would charge for giving up everything and devoting himself entirely to the prosecution. "If you,'' returned MT. Heney, ia man of wealth, a man who doesn't have to go into things of this kind, are willing to give it your time and your money, to sacrifice your comfort, and, if neces- sary, your business and your friends in order to put up a fight for honest government. I should be a poor sort of creature if were not wiilingcto make some sacrifices myself. I'll con- duct the prosecution without pay"

 Editor. Republican:
 Dear Sir: You are working hard to keep the Russian despotism in the American saddle. Some6ay, maybe. not so far away you will have to print your paper for the benefit and use Of the people. instead of for the few as it is now. You cannot always print lies and make IL stick. The ma iority are next to you now. The strikes we have had this year have been not so much for higher wages as to force the kept press to tell the people the truth The last few years there has been hardly a word of truth in the capitalist press This cannot go on forever. The condition ot our country is about the same as it was in Russia before the revolution, or in other words. Russian zarissum. It seems you ought to see that there is a head-on collision coming between the upper and lower classes unless some thing unforeseen happens to prevent il. In Russia before the revolution there was no democracy, no liberty. no free speech You know this is the truth and you dare not print It.
