IT S TO BE A HARD ONE These untimely frosty mornings indicate that the agricultural seer down in New Jersey is not without wisdom in his prophecies of a cold fall, and what he terms “a riproaring winter,” by which he means "intensely cold.” He reports that the corn this season grew long “whiskers,” and in this respect the New Jersey seer notices that the corn patterns after the wise farmer, who “raises” a good crop of hirsute appendages as the frost approaches. Then, too, the sunflower blossomed early. Because o' this he predicts a blizzard of the 18S8 kind

about the middle of November. Then the apple crop was short; a poor crop, such as noticeable this fall, showing that the trees are storing up their sap and energy against a long winter and a "hard spell of weather.” Yet more, the cabbage head is no mean indicator. This year, on this New Jersey farm, it is growing thick, tough leaves so that they may have warm covering for the cold weather which is coming. There are weather prophets in Indiana—acres of them —who tell by the bark on a tree, the migration of birds in early fall, the industry of the squirrel, etc., what to expect, but it seem as if none of them has yet based predictions on the growth of the corn “whisker,” the early bloom of the sunflower, or the thick leaves of the cabbage. They should get busy. It should not be left for a

New Jersey seer to warn us against arctic conditions when there is such a wealth of atmospheric talent in the Hoosier state — Indianapolis News. President Taft has made a lot of trouble for the Republicans of Indiana. He has put it up to them whether they shall be loyal to him or to Senator Beveridge. Indeed, he goes even further than that, for by declaring that the Republican senators who voted against the new tariff bill took themselves out of the party, he puts the Republicans of Indiana in a position where, if they endorse Beveridges course, they take themselves out of the party. And if they fail to endorse Beveridge they leave him entirely without a political home. ANNOUNCEMENTS FOR MAYOR.

IT SHOWS PROSPERITY Reports of the State Banks Shows an Increase in Resources. Indianapolis, Sept, 28. —Reports from 263 state banks received by L. A. Wiles, state bank examiner under the auditor of state, and tabulated yesterday show a condition of prosperity, according to Wiles. The total resources and liabilities, loans, deposits, and reserve, all show substantial increases over the showing made June 23. the date of the last call. Os course crop returns account for a great deal of the increase, but it cannot account for all, according to Wiles, who states that the only conclusion to be drawn is that business activity has increased and the people are in a hopeful frame of mind regarding the future. “It Is the best showing that has been made in my experience,” said Wiles. The statement for the 263 banks, which does not include private banks, shows total resources and liabilities of $69,266,000. This is an increase over the last call of $3,200,000. An increase in loans of $1,300,000 is shown. The cash increase over the last call is $2,100,000. Deposits have increased $3,280,000. The deposits Sept 1, were $54,263,000; loans $50,000,000 and available cash $16,630,000. The cash reserve is 30 per cent of capitalization, which is an increase in the reserve of 1% per cent over the last call. The remarkable part of the showing is that while deposits and loans have increased, the reserve has also increased. Uusually increased loans disturb the reserve, lowering it to an appreciable extent.
