THE ADVANTAGE OF PLANTING Home-Grown Nursery Stock Why not plant home-grown trees on your place Nursery stock, which Is grown in Indiana, is always more acclimated to soil and climate than stock which has been shipped from a distance. Patronise home trade and leave your good money right in your own state. It is certainly foolishness

to buy nursery stock from other states, when you have a reliable nursery in Indiana. Do not be tempted to pay exorbitant' prices for nursery stock and be robbed of your good money. All our trees will be replaced free of charge. If interested in planting fruit or shade trees, small fruits, ornamental stock or strawberries, kindly drop me a postal card and I will call on you. ERNEST DOEPKE 752 Davis Street, FORT WAYNE. INDIANA. Representative of the Indianapolis Bridgeport Nurseries. Ask Smith, Yager & Falk about our trees. If you want trees, give your name and address to Smith, Y'ager & Falk. J ■ ■

] HISTORY OF HIS LIFE 3 GARRULOUS OLD FARMER LIBER AL WITH INFORMATION. | Comes Pretty Near Holding the Rec " ord as an Artist In Unsuirtained Conversation— Something of Vocabulary Wonder. ‘ The backwoods class of natives ot tho northern New England states * which lie along the Canadian border < are often depicted in stories as being < of the silent type.” said a Washing t ton man who is recently back from a t motor tour in the sparsely settled dis tricts of New Hampshire, according to the Washington Star. “Well, lots of them are, but whet they are the opposite class they comt c pretty near holding the palm for pure c unadulterated garrulity. One examc pie of what might be called ‘sustained conversation’ was, to us, such a gem of its kind that 1 can remember a good part of it. We had just had a ‘ blowout on a roadside and in a few minutes an old farmer approached ut from his dooryard. Shifting his pipe to the side of his mouth he addressed us thus, while we listened spellbound: “ 'Was that your tiah jest blowed out? Sounded jest like a pistil!’ Then scrutinizing our D. C. license: ! “'Be you from the city?’ “‘Yes,' we answered, ‘from Wash ington. Ever been there?* “ ‘Wai, I was in Washington once 50 years ago, during the war.’ “ ‘Oh, and were you at the big re union at Gettysburg last year?’ “ ‘No, I didn't go daown. If I'd ber In the battil I'd hu’ gone. Two ot three fellers from Groveton went, and some from Milan and some from othei taowns. I had the fortune to serve under Gineral Banks in the Mississip pi valley. Then we come up the Shen andoah and whipped up the hull valley araound Ha'pers Ferry. Say, that'e I funny taown, hain’t It? Haouses al) runnin' up the side of the hill and graveya'd on the top. We camped all winter the other side the river at Poolesville. It was cold as the dev-vl) that winter. We took the gravestuns and made chimneys aouten ’em. The officers were mad as the dev-vil and made us put 'em back at the end ol the winter. 1 " ‘Gentlemen and ladies, speakin' ol ■ taowns, when I come over here from Beth-el, Maine, they wa’n’t but ten haouses in the hull taownship, and naow they's 10.000. We used to live | . to Milan Corners, ten miles away, but our haouse burnt up. It so happened \ that my wife and son had jest come, from a visit to Beth-el, Maine. We I was all to meetin’, it bein’ Sunday evening, and meetin' wa’n’t over till! > nine. We see a blaze up aour way < and the folks all struck up the wrong ■

side of the river, so only two or three ever got there. My wife was lame at the time and my boy was sick, so they couldn’t do nothin’. We done what we could. We saved the sewin' ma chine and the pa’lor organ, and some o’ them things the women care for but the chamber sets, they cost $25 apiece, and they was all burnt. The good folks o’ the taown took up a collection and got us S2OO, and we sold the fa’m for S7OO more; that made S9OO. Then we come over here and spent the winter at Center Station, where my wife's cousin keeps a jewelry store. Then it so happened that the people ownin’ this fa’m died, and that we wanted to buy. Likeliest spot in the hull valley, haln’t it? Great Godfrey, he's got that tiah done already! That feller suttinly knows his business!’ ”

; t Princes in Russian Ranks. The native princes of the tribes of the Caucasus, many of whom are Mussulmans, came forward at the beginning of the war offering horses, men and money. A magnificent body of native horse has now taken the field Many Russian regiments are composed entirely of men of princely birth. Wealthy landowners, each of whom subscribed tens of thousands to the war fund, are contented to serve the emperor as plain troopers. The response of the Russian Polish aristocracy has assumed remarkable forms. One of the crack guard regi ments has formed two whole com panies entirely composed of men of noble birth, among them being 30 Polish noblemen, headed by Prince Zamoyski, who, discarding his high court rank, has donned the blouse of a pri vate in his majesty’s footguards. Quail Feather and X-Ray. An ordinary mountain quail feather

held before the eyes serves the same purpose as a powerful X-ray machine, according to Dr. Barton J. Powell of Stockton, Cal., who has sent a bunch of the feathers to the California State university for experimental purposes. Doctor Powell says that while hunting in the Sierra Nevada an old Indian i called the fact to his attention. TakInga feather from a quail the Indian , held it before the physician’s eyes and put his hand up to the Jight. The bones of the hand were plainly visible ' through the flesh. The Indian said feathers had been ' used from time immemorial by his ' tribesmen as an aid in setting broken bones. Gran'pa’s Observation. "Yer gran’pa sez thet he alluz thought them fluffy girls didn’t hev much brains an’ now he knows it. Sez he, ‘look how far they kin stick them big tango hair pins inter their heads an it don't seem tew hurt them a mite.’ ”

FREE LUNCH MUST GO Indianapolis. Jan. 20, —(Special t< Daily Democrat)—Because the saloon free lunch is ‘disgusting revolting ' and unsightly" to Representative Ed win C. Davis of Lake county, he in | troduced a bill today to prohibit it IHe said his bill was introduced for 1 sanitary seasons rather than moral 1 reasons. “I have seen men set with their ' hands, and have seen them place thr common fork in their mouthes ‘-pfor returning it to the pan", he said. Dav ; is has been in ccnsulation with Dr J ■ N. Hurty of the state beard of hearh i several times. When representative Davis was told

of a custom in the German neighbor J hoods of Evansville, where the free: lunch is served on a clean plate by a, cleanly Jhausfrau. and where every | man gets his own spoon, be ia-d - never had heard of such a eastern and might amend his bill to- Vander burg conditions as wet! as taoee m Lake county. o FOR SALE —Good i». redded i I fodder, bailed er , ail southeast of town.—W Baker It; R.
