new WHEAT SELLING
AT S1.O4 IN RANDOLPH;
CHINCH BUGS SLUMP

WINCHESTER, Ind, July 11.-New
wheat is selling at S104 and rye at
81 cents here The quality of the

will be from Is to Is bushels per acre.
Oats are being cut and this week
will find about all in the shock and
part of them threshed. The acreage
of oats is normal while that of wheat
and rye is about one-fourth less than

Chinch Bugs Slump.
Following a tour of inspection of the
county made by County Agent Roscoe
Fields, Hal Driver of Aurora, Morris
Shireling Franklin and V. V. Bowman,
Winchester, vocational teachers, the
announcement was made by Fields
that the loss to Randolph county so
far from the chinch bugs would reach
from three to four hundred thousand
dollars.
The inspection showed that the pest
was on the decrease, due it was
thought to the presence of blowflies
and lady bugs. 1t was noticeable that
where the flies and lady bugs were
prevalent, the chinch bugs were disap-
pearing. The men also discovered
| that many Of the bugs went into the
ground and died, being covered by 4
fungus whitish growth. They found
one eight acre field of corn totally
destroyed and a small field of oats
ruined The inspection showed that
| rs per cent of the farms were infested
and the pest is reported from all town
! ships in the county.

LARGE AUDIENCE GREETS
CHRISTIAN EVANGELIST

A splendid audience greeted the
minister and musicians last night at
the Christian church on East Gadsden
street. The song service began prompt
ly at 7:45 and after a brief period of
congregational and chorus singing and
"a brief prayer, a beautiful solo was
sung by Mr.. Pollock, entitled IF
Were a Voice
Then the pastor spoke very effec-
lively on the theme, Saved for Serv-
ice" using as his text the verse found
in Proverbs 1870, THE fruit of the
righteous is the tree of life, and he
that is wise winneth souls"
In introducing his subject, the min
lister spoke of the beautiful Queen Els
Their, whose story the Bible gives us
in the book which bears the same
name, as a notable example of a per-
son who was saved to serve.
Soulwinning means soul-health for
the winner, said the speaker. How
great a value is placed upon a human
souI People have paid tremendous
prices in physical exertion to secure
gold and diamonds but these are as
nothing compared to a soul. What
great blessings come to the one who
gives himself in sacrifice to save an
other!
Then the blessing to the soul that is
saved is inestimable. What great joy
must have been Naaman's when,
through the words of little girl, he
was led to the place of healing Then
how greatly the soul saved from sin
grows in the esteem of his fellow men.
But perhaps one of the greatest pos
sible joys of the Christian life comes
to the Christian from the realization
of the fact that as he engages in soul
winning he is having a very real fell
lewship with Christ, his Master, in
service.
These evangelistic services have been
most interesting to those who have
been in attendance, and a most cor
dial invitation is extended to all to
be present at every service.

Ay, tear her tattered ensign down!
Long has II waved on high,
And many an eye has danced to see
That banner in the sky;
Beneath il rung the battle shout,
And burst the cannoRs roar
The meteor OF the ocean air
Shall sweep the clouds no more.
Her deck onceSred with. hero's blood,
Where knelt the vanquished foe,
When winds were hurrying DER the
flood
And waves were white below,
No more shall feel the victor's tread,
or know the conquered knee
The harpies of the shore shall pluck
The eagle OF the sea!
OH better that her shattered hulk
should sink beneath the wave;
Her thunders shook the mighty deep.
And there should be her grave.
Nail to the mast her holy flag,
Set every threadbare sail,
And give her to the god of storms,
The lightning and the gale!
