The Plow a Man Can Pull One of first questions many farmers ask when they go to buy a plow Will it take the ground. It is an important matter with them. They are entitled to know. The J. I. Case New Foot Lift Sulky has a penetration arm connecting the rear end of the main frame to the rear end of the beam. This arm is fitted with jam nuts. Lengthening this arm by means of the nuts gives more penetration to the plow, shortening it, gives Jess. After proper penetration has been secured, the depth of furrow is regulated by the front furrow wheel level and it will always take the ground. CALL AND SEE THE PLOW SCHAUB-DOWLING CO.

PASSES SENATE Fleming Bill for Qualification of Voters Passes the Senate 30 to 14. COM. CHAIRMAN SARE Says Maston Bill Will be Reported Out Six Days After Adjournment. Indianapolis, Imk, Mar. -’ (Sjeeial to Daily Democrat) —The senate today passed 30 to 14 a bill introdu' • ed by Senator Fleming providing for the qualifications of voters in the state. Tlte bill provides that foreigners to be qualified voters must have taken out their complete naturalization itapers. The law now is that lite only requirement is that he take out first papers. The bill applies only to officers not named in the constitution. The bill provides that only male citizens be allowed to vote and that voters must have lived in the state a year. The republicans passed a solid vote against the bill. Senator Robinson professed to see in the repeal clause a menace for the women suffrage measure. Fleming denied that his bill, if passed, would make invalid the partial suffrage measure if the latter becomes a law. Senator Kinder opposed the bill. It is believed the bill would disfranchise many voters in Lake county.

Indianapolis, Ind., Mar. 2—(Special to Daily Democrat)—Representative Sare of Bloomington was asked today when his committee woujd report out the Maston suffrage measure. “One week from Sunday,” he replied, and his firm jaw relaxed into the broad Sare smile. One week from Sunday will be six weeks after the legislature adjourns. Indianapolis, Ind., Mear. 2—(Special to Daily Democrat) —The Crau bill permitting newspapers to exchange advertising for railroad transportation was recommended for postponement again today. Indianapolis, Ind., Mear. 2—(Special to Daily Democrat) —When seen separately today both Representative Jones and Senator Ballou declared that enough votes were left in the senate to pass the Jones state-wide direct primary bill. The Jones bill, which has passed the house, is tin? democratic platform measure favored by Senator Kern. Indianapolis, Ind., March 2—(Special to Daily Democrat) —Speaker Bedwell said today he would not yet hand down the Rule suffrage bill, which is ready for third reading. Bedwell said he knew of no one desiring to vote on the bill. This was taken as confirmation that the suffrage forces will trust all to the Maston bill, which has passed the senate. o HAVE RESUMED BOMBARDMENT. London, Mar. 2—(Special to Daily Democrat) —Resuming their attack on the Turkish forts inside the Dardanelles, the Anglo-French fleet has partially dismantled Fort Chanak on the Asiatic side and has damaged the fortress of Kilid Bahr on the European side. Other reports stated that the success of the bombardment is becoming known in Constantinople. Several demonstrations in favor of Turkey, de daring immediate peace are said to have been broken up by the police.

MAKE ANOTHER ATTEMPT. Washington, 1). C„ Mar. 2—(Special to Daily Democrat) —A final attempt was made i i the house today to pass the administration ship purchase bill. It bumped into the rocks of a republican filibuster. House democratic leaders said the bill would be forced through before adjournment tonight. o SEATS ARE REARRANGED. The big union tabernacle will accommodate fully 275 more attendants this evening than heretofore. Ten men were busy yesterday resetting the seats, moving them nearer together that more new ones could be installed. This allows for the seating of many more. It is said that more seants may be added later. • o— CLEANING LIBRAR WALLS.

Mhy, none other than the self-same Plato whom his adversary had quotedl so glibly to the contrary. Obviously th t philosophic one, like many of our courts, either overlooked, or found good reason for overruling, a former decision: or else he was an equitable soul and wished to satisfy both parties! Anyway, however, it seems that the lower court w as reversed, and the poor tenant, of course, had to endure his unwelcome cotenant, or pay the full term s rent and vacate.

FEATS OF CARRIER PIGEONS Since the Franco-Prussian War Their Value Has Been Recognized by All Governments. The famous performance of carrier pigeons during the siege of Paris in the Franco-Prussian war, when they carried upwards of 40,000 messages, was the result of an inspiration rather than of forethought. Private citizens who chanced to have pigeons offered them to the government. Their performance was such a splendid success that France has ever since maintained large flocks in charge of the engineer corps. The birds are carefully trained as soon as they are able to fly and are then drilled daily for the rest of their useful lives. They are taught to fly and to alight on signal. The first thing Bismarck did after the treaty of peace was signed was to establish pigeonlofts in Berlin and elsewhere throughout the empire. Every other nation in Europe followed his example, and today every government has thousands of pigeons, all ready to carry messages in time of war. Signaling With Smoke. A simple and most ingenious method of signaling from an aeroplane has just been invented by a young French engineer named Means. It is a system of optical telegraph, the dots and dashes of the Morse code being written in the air by short and long puffs of smoke. The apparatus for discharging these puffs, as built by Breguet, consists of a black receptacle for smoke, situated below the aviator’s seat and projecting downward. It is closed at its lower end by a valve that can be opened and shut with a small lever. According to the length or brevity of the opening the puff of smoke is a dash or a dot. The smoke trails horizontally behind the aeroplane and remains a long time in the air if this is still; even in a high wind it remains long enough to be read with a field-glass at a distance of several miles.

Agreed With Him. Bertha Mann, is a southern girl, but she is not blind to the little shortcomings of that section. It was while she was touring during the days antedating her “arrival” as a sterling dramatic actress, that she stopped at one of the hotels for which the southern town is less celebrated than distinguished. She dallied with the food while the boniface detailed the hardships of his life in a small town. "Do you feed your own family the same food that you feed to the guests? she inquired. “Jest the same, jest the same,” he replied. h I agree that you d 0 have a hard life, was her mournful reply. Concrete Roads. Concrete road construction has increased from 364,000 square yards laid in 1909 to 19.200.000 square yards which it is estimated has been laid dunng the season of 1914. This would be sufficient, were it put down in a single trench, to form a roadway f our yards wide and 2,700 miles long.Scientific American.
