A BILL OF CHARACTER Our Washington correspondent calls attention to a marked change in public sentiment, as noted in the capital, toward Mr. Bryan. People r.o longer fear him —that is, people that used to regard the possibility of his election as a menace to the stability of our institutions, are no longer troubled at the prospect. They can think of him now as an occupant of the white house without a shiver of apprehension. This change of sentiment is not confined to Washington. It is manifest all over the country. Any number of people, republicans as well as democrats and independents, that have no greater confidence than they ever had in Mr. Bryan's views or statesmanship, have lost their old notion that dire consequences would befall the republic if he should be elected For one thing, the senate would remain in the hands of the republicans. For another, Mr. Bryan is an older man with larger experience of life; and with the responsibility of office upon him he would doubtless be less radical, both in action and speech, than his utterances as a party leader and prophet would justify one in expecting.—lndianapolis News.

Father John Noll, of Hartford City, addressed over two hundred people at the Knights of Columbus hall the members and their families with invited friends, Wednesday evening. His talk was on lopsided people. It was not lengthy, but short and to the point. This number of the program was well received and it pleased each one present, for he stated many truths which were not only true, but good. Also, several musical selections were rendered, and at 10:30 the young people enjoyed several waltzes and twosteps. Music was furnished by John Wemhoff during the “im promptu” dance.

A deal was closed last night whereby M. J. Welker became the sole proprietor of the restaurant that has been conducted by Charles E. Sullivan for nearly eight months. Mr. Sulivan has enjoyed a liberal patronage since being in business and his successor will no doubt receive same at the hands of his many friends. Mr. Welker who is a man possessed of excellent business qualifications and is well known in this vicinity. He will undoubtedly merit his share of the patronage in response to his ever courteous and gentlemanly characteristics. He took immediate possession. Mr. Sullivan, the retiring proprietor expects to move upon a farm in the vicinity of Berne, where he will make his future home. ■ A meeting of the various managers of the newly proposed Indiana-Ohio league which will leave Richmond out in the cold, is scheduled to be held at Bluffton tomorrow. Mr. Holthouse who is endeavoring to interest local capital, may attend this meeting, if he succeeds in securing some one to accept a part of the franchise with him. In case he does he will vote with the new promoters of the new league, which will do away with Jessup and Kling.

THE SECOND DAY (Continued from page 1.) ship of the American Farmer.” He entertains the suggestion that all are afforded opportunities and all are morally obligated to society. Our horizon should not be confined to the corn field. Citizenship means a great deal. We must assume responsibilities aside from those circumscribed by the home circle. Citizenship in ancient Rome was confined to the nobility. The same is true of Russia today. But in this great republic all are entitled to the privileges of citizenship. Mr. Lockridge contends that the much unappreciated farmer is the prime factor in American citizenship. To him is attributable much of our material prosperity. The com, wheat and potatoes raised in the United States in 1906 would cover the entire area of Adams county to a depth of five inches. The implication that the farmer contributed to the sustenance of the hobo was apprecated by all. We should be self-poised inspired lives are most effective.

abreast of the times. Today with a rubber-tired buggy and a Maud S. mare the young farmer can cover the distance to the home of bis sweetheart with marvelous celerity. Senator Tyndall ably presented some elements of ‘ Success in Life.” Farmers said he are boro, not made. Parents are largely responsible for the welfare of the child. The school teacher moulds character to some extent, however. What constitutes success? Surely not mere material prosperity. Wealth vanishes. Character endures forever. Determination and steadiness of purpose will achieve success. Hon. David E. Smith dwelt effectively upon “The Farmer of Today." All men pay tribute to the god of agriculture. Washington. Lincoln, Clay. Webster. Burns. Whittier and hosts of others sprang from the soil. The Pilgrim fathers wrested a reluctant subsistence from the New England soil. Progress is the watchword of the modem farmer. Some farmers have but one chair, one table and seven children. No such strides, however, have been made in any other lines. Farming is now a science. The merchant, the politician bow down to

him. He is indeed an uncrowned king. The session terminated at 8:30, The fourth session of the farmers’ institute opened this morning by prayer by Rev. Meads, With the court room well filled with people who are interested in the progress of the most important event of the year for the farmer. Mr. O. A. Lockridge then indulg 'd in an hour s talk on “Growing One Hundred Bushels of Corn to the Acre," in which he illustrated many points that will be of ultimate benefit to the farmer in the growing of com. He states that it is essential to cultivate the surface of the ground after the corn is up and only to remove the soil for an inch deep as the roots of the corn may be molested and hence cut off the nourishment the plant must have for the best result. Mr. Lockridge delivered a very interesting talk and the many questions which were propounded after the talk proper, were answered very satisfactorily by him. Much enthusiasm was manifest among all who were in attendance and every speaker was well received and congratulated upon their talks and the farmers feel that they are benefited to a great extent from same.

then favored the audience with a well received talk on poultry on the farm She went into detail about the chances of improvement in raising poultry and many thoughts were presented that will be of use to her hearers. She was followed by Ira Waggoner, who gave a talk on the same subject, emphasizing how profitable the raising of poultry can be made by good care. Mr. Waggoner was followed by J. M Camley, of Logansport, who talked of “Fruits of the Farm” in an able manner. Adjournment was then taken until 1 p. m. ■ o ——- Special Announcement Regarding the National Pure Food and Drug Law.
