IT IS SOMEBODY'S BUSINESS. Judge Dearth, speaking from the bench while sentencing the editor of the Post-Democrat for contempt, declared, “it is ??png of your business if the court, prosecutor, sheriff and jury belong to the ku klux klan—none , of your business or anybody else’s business.’' s This statement probably sounded fine and most like' j rjy expressed the sentiment of the crowd that had assembled in the court room on the morning of March 14 .To gloat over what they evidently thought was the humiliation of a newspaper man who had insisted on telling a few casual truths. In looking over the courtroom we observed that the majority of those present were klansmen and klanswo- ; men,.

Every klansman takes that oath. It is a matter of congressional record. Do you agree with Judge Dearth, that it is none of your business? The ku klux klan is a lawless, felonious, hypocritical gang of night riding, murderous outlaws. Do you think it is right to select your public officials from this traitorous organization ? A REAL ADVERTISING MEDIUM. Advertisers who are looking for results can reach a wide field of buying prospect^ by using the columns of the Post-Democrat. We have now made arrangements whereby the Post-Democrat will be ready for distribution Thursday which will enable us to reach all the towns and cities adjacent to Muncie by Friday morning. The Post-Democrat is in big demand in Muncie territory and a circulation campaign is now on which will swell the subscription and street and agency sales to ten thousand within six weeks. A number of new agencies are being established in Muncie and a large force of carrier boys are being employed who will sell the paper on the streets of Muncie and other towns and cities on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays. Business men who are seeking an advertising medium which circulates among a class of real buyers should use the Post-Democrat advertising columns.

BRiOE CURED OF HOMESICKNESS Made State nent Which Made Her Husband Once Again a War-Mad Killer.

PAYS PRICE OF FOLLY

Los Angeles, Cal.—Homesickness is at the center of the tragic case of Yvonne Wilmot, Belgian war bride of this city. It overwhelmed her love for her husband, provoked affection for a bachelor neighbor, drove her to the verge of suicide, 'and then -shattered a triangle of happiness with a pistol shot. The aftermath will come with the trial of Scott Wilmot, her husband, charged with shooting Paul Peters, the bachelor interloper. Yvonne, when only sixteen years old, became a bride of Wilmot:, who Was suffering from shell shock in a Belgian hospital. That' jyas five yearS ago. Wilmot and his bride came to America and began living in a small ] fcoiise in this city. Wilmot, between | freqft&rt periods of Illness, worked as

That was a mean trick Bryan played on the Presbyterian preachers when he got his resolution through requesting them all to sign the pledge. The way some of them are kicking now about it and refusing to sign the pledge is an indication that Bryan knew something about them that they had not been telling the world. Poor Bryan. He is to be forever doomed as one whose bets are always to be coppered. People generally believed the Bible and swallowed the story of Adam and Eve and Jonah and the whale until Bryan happened to make the luckless statement that it was all true, and from that time on about nine-tenths of our theological giants, going on the theory probably that if Bryan said it it couldn’t be so, insist that their great grandpaps were apes. The board of safety threatened (or was it a promise?) to resign if the power of appointing a building inspector was not taken away from the mayor and given to them. They will have a chance to make good after Monday night. Here's your hat, old things, what’s your hurry? But shucks! They won’t quit. You couldn’t hire ’em to. Nothing but the boots will dislodge the triumvirate. Let us hope that Mayor Quick feels like he has a kick coming.

The idea of asking a preacher to sign the pledge! But then, most likely, Bryan’s theory was that you never can tell.

disease bcCfirs in Europe, Canada, and. in the following states in this country: Alabama, California, Connecticut, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Louisiana, Michigan, Minnesota, New York, North Dakota, Ohio, South Carolina, Virginia, and Wisconsin. To avoid loss, affected fruits should be disposed of quickly, as various organisms of decay are likely to enter through the wounds. If packed dry; and kept cool, the development of bacterial spot may be retarded. Good] ventilation during transit is important.; Plan to Reduce Loss. Seed disinfection combined with crop rotation is the most satisfactory! method of reducing loss. Spraying! alone is not recommended for the control of this disease, but 4-4-50 hor- 1 deaux thoroughly applied is an effective check. Seed treatment consists; of Immersing the seed in a 1 to 1,000, mercuric-chloride solution, which may be made from the standard .tablets sold by druggists. The solution must be made in a glass, earthenware, or wooden receptacle. Great care should be exercised, as it is very poisonous when taken internally. Plants grownfrom treated seed on soil new to the; crop are likely to be free from the disease unless infection occurs from diseased fields nearby.

BUY HIGHEST QUALITY SEED

Mixtures Offered at Bargain Price* Sure Indication of Weeds and Other Trash. Cheap seed is cheap because it is foul with weed seeds and trash and of low germination, says the seed an alyst at the New York agricultural experiment station at Geneva, who advocates the purchase of only the high-| est quality seed obtainable as the best crop insurance. The supply of clean, vigorous seed is never so large but that it commands a good price, and the very fact that farm crop seeds, vegetable seeds, or lawn grass mixtures are offered at bargain prices Is a sure Indication that the seed lacks quality, declares this authority.

Washington.—Billy Boyd, age eight, was graduated from civies and golden curls to olive drab and a man’s haircut.
