Among the things the Indianapolis boosters are trying to do in their trips over Indiana, is that of securing better shipping facilities. They have succeeded in a number of the towns already visited and this might be to the advantage of the Decatur merchants. Boost the boosters. Senator Kern is in Indiana this week and is kept busy with law matters, closing up a few old cases, and is looking after affairs pertaining to his office. Early next month he goes to Chicago where the committee will hear further evidence in the Lorimer case. Mr. Kern is making good, but no one ever doubted but that he would for an instant. The first flying machine which ever struck Decatur is scheduled to arrive here next Monday, when Aviator Rodgers, enroute from New’ York to SanFrancisco, for the 150,000 purse offered by Heart's New York American, will arrive, following the Chicago & Erie railroad. It will be a memorable occasion in Decatur and in a quarter century from now, when flying machines are as common as autos are now, the day will no doubt be frequently referred to. Governor Marshall will take a hand in the Gary situation, and it is apparently most proper that he should do so. Mr. Dean, the man who worked out the details, seems very certain that he is right, shows the proof and no one doubts it much, judging from previous stories that have come from the “steal" city. If the clean-up which follows is complete, and a watchful eye is kept in the future, the town of wonderful growth will not be such a bad place in which to live.

Will Get One Connecting With the , City of Richmond. Though Portland will not get thej Fort Wayne &> Springfield traction line it is in line for another. A Richmond special dispatch says that the Eastern 1 Indiana Traction company, incorporatI ed Tuesday for $50,000 to construct a [ traction line from Richmond to Portland and eventually south to Cincin I nati. has elected its officers as follows: Sharon E. Jones, president: Adam H. Bartel, vice president and Charles j W. Jordan, secretary and treasurer. ■ It is believed by the officers and i stockholders that the project can be financed and that the line will be built from Richmond to this city next year. With the Fort Wayne & Spring1 field extended to Portland from Decatur yet this fall, and the Western Ohio extended from Celina, Ohio, to this city early next year, Portland people will have direct interurban connection with Fort Wayne, Indianapolis, Cleveland. Richmond, and a little later with Cincinnati. —Portland Sun. PURDUE HOLDS MEETING FOR FRUIT GROWERS. During the past season the horticultural department of the Purdue Experiment station has had charge of a portion of the orchard belonging to the i Indiana State School for the Feebleminded Youth, Fort Wayne, Ind. This orchard has been used as a demonstra tion orchard and has been given the most up-to-date treatment. It has not been handled as a “modeT' orchard, but has only been given such treatment as any farmer can afford. This I season the orchard has produced very - satisfactory return as a very nominal expense. In order to better acquaint t the farmers of this community with the work done in this orchard, Purdue i has decided to hold an open-air dem--3 onstration right in the orchard am. - there explain the results of this sea- ; son’s spraying, pruning and cultivation. This meeting will be held October 2th, and every farmer who owns an orchard should plan to be in at- ' tendance. For further information 1 write the Horticulture Department. ; Purdue University Experiment Station, Lafayette, Indiana. o LOST PURSE AND FIFTY DOLLARS Captain James Kirk -dall, formerly > of Monroe, but who has been making f his home at Bowerstown, Ohio, for ■ sometime, came in Thursday for a visit with old friends.
