Lincoln's birthday is being observed today and many thousand tributes are being paid to the memory of that grea‘ American. When he lived he carried the burdens of his great position as few men have, and how gratifying it would have been if he could have heard some of the nice things which are being said today. He had no idea that he would be so loved by the gen eratlons to follow but he was honest and worthy and did his part without expecting praise. Cordell Hull, national chairman of the democratic party, will open the campaign in this state Thursday night when he speaks to the Indiana Democratic Editorial association and their friends.

1 made regarding the nomination for 1 United States senator. The editorial meeting this week is one of the most important In years and will be largeI ly attended, more than five hundred tickets having been reserved for the occasion. » ■ i i .■ .■L-maa In front of St. Mark's church in New York City is u bread line which day in and day out .averages fifteen hundred men. Isn’t it queer you don't hear anything about it, for there are others as large in that city and hundreds of similar lines in other cities? You remember the soup houses In Cleveland’s time, surely, and how it was given the lead in all the big newspapers, but about this one you hear only an occasional complaint from some one who has been up against it. This is a normalcy bread line and the men responsible for it ure in control of the machinery of this government, and they also control the big press. That's why it is hpshed up, for there is an election coming soon. While the senatorial fights in Ohio, Indiana, Wisconsin and other states will be of much interest to the Hard ing administration this year, the one which will attract the most attention is that of North Dakota, where McCumber is a candidate for re-election and will be opposed by the independ ents and democrats. He is the head of the finance committee of the sen ate, most important place in that body, having succeeded the late Penrose. Should he be defeated it is likely his successor will be Bob Ijifollette, who sits with the republicans, but for many years has consistently voted against them. The leaders would pre fer most anything to happen, rather tiffin that.

We have no idea of the argument which the members of tiie state tax board put up to convince the average •itizen. farmer or merchant that his property should be assessed at the same figures as three years ago. but ’f they can put it over and make us believe it we will admit they have some persuasive powers. Os course the lower the valuation, the higher the tax rate, but also the less bonding limit and the less money to be paid to Hie state. These two together make a big difference in dollars and cents and all the efforts to disprove it seem futile. It will be interesting at least to hear what they have to say on the subject. They will find a mighty pro test against it, not only in Adams •minty but all over the state. TREAT SEED OATS AGAIN THIS YEAF

Oats should be treated for smut ( every two or three years. The smut ] will be spread by the wind and by the ' hreshing machine. A few fields o badly smutted oats are a source oi ' langer. Last year many fields were round having as much as ten to thirty- ’ five per cent of smut. Oats that have not been treated for two or three years should certainly bo treated this ( year. In February when the farm ( work is lightest, is a good time to . treat the oats. After treatment the ;oed can be sacked but if sacks having contained oats are used they should be dipped in formaldehyde to kill any smut that may be on them. The treatment recommended by Purdue university is as follows: I’ile the oats in the usual way on a clean floor, tarpaulin or in a wagon box. Make up a solution of one pint of ft) per cent formaldehyde in four or five gallons of water. As the oats are being shoveled over apply this formaldehyde solution slowly with a sprinkling pot. The last of the solution should be put on just before the last, of the oats arc shoveled over. If every two shovelsful of oats are given one sprinkling the solution will last throughout the pile. The size of the shovel make a difference in the rate of applying the solution. These statements are based on a large scoop shovel. If les than forty or fifty bushels uro treated then the following amounts of formaldehyde should be used: 25 Io 35 bushels, % pint. 20 to 25 bushels, % pint. 15 to 20 bushels, % pint. 10 to 15 bulsbels, Ys pint. Tim water should also be reduced in proportion: 25 to 35 pushcis, use 3 to 3»4 gallons of water. 20 to 25 bushels, use 2 to 2*/i gallons of water. 15 to 20 bushels, use to l r ;'i gallons of water.

10 to 15 bushels, use 1 to 1% gallons of water. After the treatment the pile should he covered with a canvas burlap sack of a blanket for at least five hours. Covering for a longer time would do no harm. While the grain is covered the water applied will be entirely absorbed by the seed with no appreciable swelling. If the grain Is to be sacked immediately after the treatment and left in the sacks for a week or more, the pile of grain should first be uncovered and spread out for at least twenty hours to allow the gas to escape. If, however, the grain is to be sacked and sown right away, then there is no need of allowing the gas to escape.

The following remarks have been furnished by the dairy department of Purdue University showing other results which have been obtained in other localities from “Milk Cam paigns" similar to that which will be carried out in Adams county. These results show that much can be expected from a campaign of this kind if only from the standpoint of better public health. Lebanan (city) Last year there were 263 under nourished children, this year only 160. Elkhart county (1) In the schools [ of Elkhart county where the children j drank no milk at all as learned by survey, 60 per cent are now drinking milk in Cleveland township. This 60 per cent is bringing the milk to school. 50 percent of them are drinking two glasses per day. (2) In Goshen for a period of three months as a result of feeding milk in the schools those children receiving the milk showed a gain on their weight i chart from one-half to four and one | half pounds. In the open air school in Goshen where they feed milk and also a hot lunch and pay attention to care of the health of the children, the gain is from one pound to eight pounds in a period of three months. These children are those showing signs of tuberculosis or other diseases of the same order. In Elkhart the health chart shows a gain from one-fourth to three and one-half pounds for a period of two months. In each case there is the gradual gain and not the phenomenal kind. (3) One company in Goshen reports a 9 percent (120 quarts) increase, in the sales of dairy products, another company reports a 10 percent increase (160 quarts.) (4) As a result of some discussion which was held in two of the leading clubs, Rotary and Chamber of Commerce, in Goshen steps were taken toward furnishing a puro milk supply for that city which lead to the passing of an ordinance compelling that all milk furnished to the city must come from tuberculin tested cows or must be pasterrized. Huntington County—(l) One company reported 15 percent increase in the sales of products. Another reported 12 percent increase in the sales of products. (2) The State Bacteriologist, Mr. F. G. Wilson, who is located at Indianapolis has been In Huntington three weeks. He takes samples of milk, makes bacterioligical counts and attempts to help the producers and distributors find tho source of contamination and thereby correct this impure milk by destroying the sources of the bacterial growth. (3) Five dairymen pf Huntington who have tuberculin tested cows have organized themselves into 1 a body called the Huntington Association of Federal Tested Dairies. ’ This is for the purpose of co-operative advertising for their milk and thus 5 enabling the. people to see the value of supplying the city with pure, clean • milk. This is one step in the right direction. (4) Milk is being deliver-

; ed to two factories In Huntington daily. The Huntington Shoe factory is taking milk three times a day. Shelbyville, Addison Township—(l) The Floyd Drug store of Shelbyville reports that their sales of dairy products were doubled during the week of the campaign. The milk distributor who furnished milk to the schools of Shelbyville reports that the first week of the campaign he hud an increase in sales of eight quarts per day; during the second week the increase in sales was 16 quarts per day. (2) Professor Holton. tho city superintendent of schools in Shelbyville gave an examination to the school children in Hamilton school. After tho test he asked each boy and girl to write on the corner of the paper whether he drank milk or coffee. Those who drank milk as a food made an average grade of 90 percent while that of the coffee drinkers was only 68 percent. This is an interesting little bit of information and Professor Holton reports that tho mental appearance of the children was very much the same as would be indicated by their grades.

The Tramp’s Orchard D= By MALCOLM BROWN. con right, iMI, W«lin N«w«p»p«r Union. "The phenomena of conversion, said the evangelist to the psychologist, "may be, as you say, the culmination of a series of obscure mental impressions, but the condition itself is the result of a moment. Something which was not in the sinner’s heart enters there and drives out something that was there. "I knew a man —never mind who or what he was. He was uneducated, the sort of average American countrynum who is the staple human product of tills nation. At the age of thirty ha was a tramp, plodding along a country road In Carolina. "It was early spring and the orchards were aglow with peach blossoms. As he passed outside a long line of blossom-bearing trees he saw a girl standing on the other side of the fence, her arms full of spraying boughs. She was about sixteen. “He learned something of her circumstances. Her parents had been compelled to mortgage their farm; they were heavily in debt; they feared the loss of their home. And she —her dearest wish to obtain an eduration could not be fulfilled. If her father were rich, she said, it might be, “The ragged man could see that this was the type of girl whom education would bring the highest success. He 'earned her name and that of the post office, thanked her for a drink of water that she gave him, and, as he heard her mother's harsh call from the house, went on his way. "He jumped a freight train and made his W’ay by stages westward. He obtained a menial position and every penny that he could hoard he put away in a bank. When he had a hundred dollars he sent it anonymously to the girl. ‘For your education,’ he wrote on the envelope. Then he began saving again. "Gradually the memory of this girl took possession of Ills life. As the months changed into years he pictured her, first completing her course in high school, then going to college. Seven years later he was a man of moderate means, and he had spent $2,000 on the peach-blossom girl. "What W’as she to become? No stenographer or clerical assistant in any business, of that he was resolved. Why, she should go to Paris, of course, and achieve triumphs there. He set aside his whole accumulation of money —s7,ooo —and sent it to her. "And at last the day came when he turned his dreams into actual plans. He would return and humbly ask her to be his wife. "I was not until he actually descended from the train at the obscure little Georgia village that the futility of his dreams suddenly dawned upon him. He had heard nothing from her during ten years. It might be that his money had never reached her.

“When he heard the harsh voice of the mother at the door, he told me of afterward,’’ continued the evangelist, “he was conscious of an absurd desire to ran away, just as when he had passed by the house, a tramp, ten years before. But the woman, seeing that he was dressed like a man of means, Invited him in to rest, and she gossiped readily about her clrcum- i stances and was loud in complaint of her husband. He had acquired a good deal of money, she told my friend, and had squandered it all in speculation. Ten years before he had been on the verge of bankruptcy, and though things had brightened he was still in the same position. She wished that they could sell out and move into a city—but it was hard to find purchasers for peach orchard land in that section of the state. “ ‘There’s one trouble I’ve got,’ she grumbled, ‘and that’s Bessie. She declares she won’t go to a city. She hates city life and says if I go she’s going to hire out somewhere. Jim refuses to give her an education. She wanted to go to high school and Jim hadn’t the money.’ "At that moment the farmer stamped into the room casting a suspicions look at the visitor. The woman t»troduced him. ‘This gentleman talks of buying the farm,’ she announced. “The farmer’s visage cleared. Maybe you’d like to come and talk it over outside,’ he said, and my friend followed him. “And then, coming through the trees my friend saw the peach-blos-som girl, and the old sense of peace came back to him. Except for a certain maturity of face and figure she was the same as when she was sixteen.” "Well," said the psychologist, “I can guess the rest. They were married and settled down on the farm and spent a life of idyllic happiness.” “That’s obvious,” answered the evangelist. “But now that you have the story, you must endure the moral. Suppose that the money had reached her—would it have benefited either of them so much as that which actually occurred? He had come back, an Ignorant man, not, daring to ask what he had so long dreamed, and he found an ignorant country girl of his own station in life in place of a line, vain lady. And the years of toll and discipline had not gone for nothing. So you see, conversion is a matter of the soul, and whatever results it brings about, one may be sure that ft can have only good to follow it.” He hesitated a moment. "If ever you gentlemen are passing down my way,” ha said, “you must come and visit my pCuvh oicimrii.*
