From nearly every county in Indiana ' and especially those in the centra! i and northern portions, come reports ■ of great benefits. The precipitation was not enough to do serious damage in those parts of the state where earlier crops were in process of harvest- ' ing, while in the acres of corn and the ! root crops, such as potatoes, turnips and similar vegetables, conditions i were such as to render any rainfall, ! however slight, beneficial. In south-1 ern Indiana the wheat is now generally in the shock and should the heavy I rains continue the moisture might I prove destructive and cause the quality of the grain to deteriorate. Hut i elsewhere wheat is still in the field and as long as it is so present rains can only do good. It is said that the wheat yield will average twenty bushels an acre, and that the aggregate j harvest will be in the neighborhood 1 of 35,000,000 bushels. But it is with the corn that Indiana is most concerned. The floods early j this year, while doing some damage to ; wheat and oats in the lowlands, caused much of this inundated territory to ’ be replanted to corn. Consequently I the state has an enormous acreage. The crop has been doing well, but the continued drought—'broken on Saturday—was beginning to have its effect. Corn in the high places was becoming slightly sere, while even in some of the lowlands the ground was hardening. With the soaking rains just experienced it is believed that the crop will be largely in excess of 200,000,000. The planting of hay also will benefit from the change in weather. The second crop of clover will receive a growing impetus, and the small fruits, such as blackberries and raspberries, |

will be of a much better quality—and in much greater abundance —than would have been the case had the drought continued. In the northern tier of counties the strawberry situation is improved because of the rain. But the farmer is not the only one to benefit. The city folk who fret and fugs because of the hot weather, and who, after a few days’ rain, fret and fuss for opposite reasons, should remember that whatever makes work better on the farm ought to make marketing better in the city. Such rains as we have just experienced, should make farm products more abunI dant and especially in the case of corn and small fruits, ought to make them appreciably cheaper to the small consumer.—lndianapolis News. Did it ever occur to you that you i , had a work to do here, and that you i could really do it if you got busy, You can, but it takes effort. We need a hospital and we need a boys’ gymnasium and we need play grounds for the children and we need factories to employ the men, and we need so much that it seems you ought to be able to pick out something and make it your hobby. That’s the only way to make it go. Meredith Nicholson, gifted Indiana author, has declined the appointment as minister to Portugal, because his wife objected to making her home there.

IN THE WORLD OF SPORT Mordecai Brown Will Be Heard From, Says Tinker. t ' •\ - • 'y* 1 ; ' i i ' • * . v - ...... I Photo by American Press Association. Manager Joe Tinker of the Cincinnati Reds says that Mordecai Brown, the veteran pitcher of the Reds, is not all in. as some critics think. “He is far from it," says Joseph. "When the real hot weather comes around the old three fingered wonder will be right there with the goods,” adds the Reds’ leader. In several games in which he has taken part the veteran has given flashes of his old time form. Last winter when he was released by the Chicago Cubs it was thought his twirling days were over. Brown claims that a bad knee hampered him from pitching good ball last year. Four years ago Brown was considered the best pitcher in the National league. His stunts in the box materially aided the Cubs in capturing a few pennants and two world’s championships. Princeton Wants Amateur Coach. As a result of the publication of the annual report of the advisory committee of the Princeton University Rowing association it became known recently that it is the determination of those in charge of the rowing situation that the sport shall be maintained on a strictly amateur basis as regards the coaching of the crews. No paid coaches or trainers are to be employed, and the Tiger eights are to be in charge of those who are interested purely for the sake of the sport The committee report says, “Many alumni feel that through the employment of professional coaches and trainers to the extent that is now the custom some of our college sports are but a shade removed from professionalism, and for tills reason it is the determination of this committee and also of Dr. J. Duncan Speath of the university faculty, who is director of rowing and head coach of the varsity, that this sport shall be kept on a strictly amateur basis and expenses kept down to a minimum."

Amherst Disfavors Summer Baseball. After three years of intermittent discussion, during which no definite stand on the matter’was taken, the athletic board of Amherst college voted that summer baseball be prohibited. The student body in a recent chapel vote shawl'd strong sentiment in favor of allowing men to play ball for money during the summer vacation, but the majority of the faculty were against such action. In the official vote of the board which decided the matter the student representatives were for summer baseball, the faculty against it and the alumni evenly split. No method of suppression has been agreed upon yet, but a committee will be soon set to work devising regulations. Previous to the three years of Indecision Amherst had a rule against summer baseball. Bridwell Tells a Secret on McGraw. Al Bridwell, former shortstop of the Giants, has let out the secret of John J. .McGraw's success as a manager. lie said: “McGraw’s scheme of breaking up the hit and run play is one of the principal features of his success. lie does i not allow his shortstop or second base- ■ man to dash over to the bag until after i the batter hits. In this way. if the j hatter does not connect, the infielders : are still in position to get the ball, j That is the way he often breaks up the play.” Baseball League For Cuba. Victor Munoz, the Havana baseball 1 writer, is behind a movement to form i a Cuban baseball league composed of three teams in Havana and others in Matanzas, Cienfuegos and Santiago. He says that the game has not advanced far enough yet for the idea to ne popular, but that in a few years’ time he will have such a league play rm the island every winter. ■— 11 Wall* to Box Carpantiar.

JINKS WROTE IT One of the Comedies Shown at Crystal Tonight was « Written by France. THE “MOVIE” ACTOR! Is Called “The College | Chaperon”—“Mary” Reel Also Shown. Will Parent, of the Crystal theater, announces a good program for tins evening at the Crystal theater, that will make patrons of moving pictures sit up and take notice. Another "Mary'’ reel will be given this evening. The subject is "A Will and a Way.” This is one of the stories, “What Happened to Mary," that are running in the Ladies’ World, and are read with avidity by all. The second is a comedy. This will be of particular interest to Decatur people because it was written by “Jinks” France, the Decatur boy. It is a laughable play, as its subject, "A College Chaperon,” designates. This ■ will no doubt prove attractive to all,! not only because it is a good play, but because “Jinks” wrote it. doingsln society WEEK’S SOCIAL CALENDAR. Tuesday. W. C. T. U—Mrs. D. G. M. Trout.
