FAIR CAME TO A CLOSE AFTER A GREAT WEEK (Continued from page one) main at Bellmont Park for tonight, but the management decided since ; the fair was over, the crowd which ■ would be attracted to the park this 1 evening would be too small to make 1 the proposition pay. A crowd about the same size as the Tuesday and Wednesday attendance . was on the ground Friday afternoon and several thousand people attended the night fair last night. The races yesterday afternoon wore very good and the free acts and fieworks last night were greatly enjoyed. The orderly and precise manner in which the gigantic fair moved each dry and night, speaks well for the . management of the fair, the city and • community. Very few arrests were , made and accidents were few and of minor importance. Two men from out of the city were arrested on ’ charros intoxication but - both were released without being lined. One Ford autoniboile, belonging to Ray Christen, was stolen on 1 Wednesday night. MONROE NEWS. . Mr. Wilbur D. Kirby of Cleveland . Ohio, is the guest of J. A. Hendricks • and family this week.

Bluffton College Glee Club to Give Concert at Berne on Sunday The Bluffton College men's glee club which is just returning from a successful trip to the Pacific coast, will appear at the Berne Mennonite church Sunday evening when the i boys will render a sacred concert. Judging from the enthusiastic reports ■ heard everywhere of the club’s fine i work, Berne people have a right to ' expect a great concert. The appearance ot the club there is of special interest to Berne people as the club is under the direction of Prof. G. A. Lehman, a former Berne boy. Besides Mr. Lehman there will be five Berne boys with the club, they being Edward Liechty, Sam Fluecki- . ger, Howard Michaud, Harold Reusser and Leslie Sprunger.

COAL MINING STARTED TODAY Test in State Operation of Mines Under Martial Law Came Today

Brazil, Ind., Aug. 6. —(Special to Dully Democrat) —The test in state operation of coal mines under martial law came today. A handful ot Imported laborers started digging in two strip mines near here while eight hundred national guardsmen stood by to prevent interference by striking miners. "it can't be done,"’ summarized the attitude of the strikers as they watched the steam shovels and the machinery being overhauled. “The shovels are mired in the mud and th machinery is in bad dcondition. It will take several days to overhaul it.” "It will be done," declared repre-

sentatives of the state coal emergency committee on tile ground here to rush l the product to fuel impoverished can-1 ning factories, state institutions, util ities and private industries. “Three hundred tons will go out today?” Six empty cars were on a railroad sidetrack at strip mines numbers 5 and 9 of tlie Rowland Power Collieries Co., which Gov. McCray seized in ] his effort to relieve industry of the coal shortage which is slowing its, wheels. Johh Martin of the coal committee itaff will route the cars when loaded - to canning factories which are unable to handle perishable crops because of lack of fuel. Three hundred more guardsmen • were reported enroute from Camp Knox for duty along the forty mile front which Major General Tyndall is covering. The men are patrolling the properties of the Rowland Power Co., in four counties, to prevent possible retaliatory action against idle mines. As the word passed among the strikers that more soldiers were coming into the territory, their resentment became stronger. A hundred men at- . tended a mass meeting at Seeleyville last night, but there has been no dis order since Thursday night when I outposts were fired upon. Sniping in the darkness of this quiet and peaceful countryside harressed , the soldiers and worried them into keeping a tatoo of shots until dawn. 1 Maor General Tyndall said. He sta-

. UUUI XU X. 41X. * u * » J - - j j tinned a lookout on top of a mine last I night to spot the .flashes from sen tries’ rifles to that he might put a 'stop to the firing. If a miner or a guardsman is shot 'and killed, reprisals are feared. Elmer Sherwood, representative iin the state legislature, sent a tele- ' gram to Governor McCray requesting [him to keep the troops away from Linton except when their presence, 1 was necessary in line of duty, fie I said the strikers and citizens of the town had banded together to prevent violence.

A truck carrying a machine gun and a detachment of soldiers, followed by an automobile with officers stopped in the city late yesteray and brought a storm of protest. Popular Disease Is Killing Sweet Corn Crop in Two Counties Lafayette, Aug. 4.—Sweet corn in Vigo and Jackson counties is wilting and dying, Purdue University mon : have found. The plants are stunted and the leaves rolled and yellow. Dur [ ing the dry weather it appeared as if the plants were suffering from the [lack of water but after the rains durI ing the latter part of June the leaves failed to recover. This condition is due to a disease known as Stewart's sweet corn wilt [and is produced by bacteria growing in the sap tubes, according to C. T. Gregory of the (botany extension staff. It the stems of such plants [are split the sap tubes especially at the bottom of the stems will appear yellow. If the stem is cut a yellow liquid will ooze out of the sap tubes. The disease is seed borne and is

more commonly In southern grown seed because the disease does not occur to any extent in the north. The varieties that are most suscptible to the disease are early varileties Mke Golden Bantam. There is nothing that can be done to help the diseased plants. They may be pulled out and replanted with the late varieties without danger of the disease reappearing.

Y. M. C. A. Exhibit at Fair Was One of the Interesting Features Ono of the interesting features of ' the Northern Indiana Fair this week ! was the Young Men’s Christian As ( sociation exhibit tent, lectures, and moving pictures. Mr. J. E, Macy, of Indianapolis, had charge of the ex- ' - hibit and moving pictures. He gave I '] lectures while the pictures were be- I ing shown. i One of the items most emphasized : at the exhibit was the new Corres- : pondence School which the associa- : tion is conducting. Already there are 150,000 students in the school. Another thing shown in the exhibit was the fine physical training and charac- , ! ter developement which the associa- , tion aids the young men to obtain. Edison Tells of The Phonograph; Callers Wait While He Hustles West Orange, N. J., Aug 2 —Forty- ' five years ago on August 12, Thomas A. Edison drew on a piece of paper his first rough sketch of a clumsy music box equipped with a metal horn. The ancestor of the dictaphone t cylinder and an organ grinder crank, designed to furnish music power as t long as the operator turned it. ! The drawing with its scribbled inj struction to a workman “Kruesi. make i this” represented the actual birth of the phonograph, which today repre-

| sentatives of the Edison plants from all over the United States are gathering to celebrate. While the germ of the idea actually came to Edison on July 18. it was several weeks later before he put if. on paper. Followed years of indigo blue and cerise tinted horns and selfannouncing records that scratched on every third note, but the machine’s development finally reached the rosewood library table, bell-throated, flat disk stage it is now better known by. “I don’t think the radio will ever replace the phonograph,” said Edison in commenting upon his invention. “It mutilates the music. It knows this for I worked on the radio atter the war, using the apparatus we had on the submarines. A low voice or a baritone carries fairly well on the radio, but it is not perfect. Talking is better because of the even pitch.” In accord with his custom, producing instead of prophesying, Edison had nothing to predict as to future developments of the phonograph. He believes he has it close to perfection. At present he is striving for a perfect.

, reproduction of the Ninth Symphony I of Beethoven, played by 75 instruments. f “I can’t say when I will bo able to do this,” he explained. “But all things come to him who hustles while he waits.” The original model of the phonograph is now in South Kensington ' Museum, London. Edison has given | it away, as he has done with many j ■ of his first models. “I suppose I am not interested in them, because it took so much time and trouble to . make them right that I lose the sentiment in them,” he added. “It’s what [ is ahead that interests me—not the past." With stretches of inviting garden and a cool house sprawling beneath

1 the trees of Llewelyn Park, but a few blocks from his factory, Edison remains staunchly at his desk in the hottest weather, “He’s never home —always at the office.” The maid who answers the ’ door bell at his home remarked. “You'll have to wait to see him,” | explained a perspiring secretary in [ the receiving riom of the labiratory. “And he's got six people waiting to talk to him ahead of you.” Thus Edison amplifies his maxim i and hustles while his callers wait, j Ottawa, Ontario. —The total Canadian trade during the month of May was $136,580,094, in comparison with $129,236,032 in May, 1921.

Strike in Chicago Fails to Halt the Pageant of Progress , Chicago, 111., Aug. s—(Special to " Daily Democrat) —Chicago's second annual Pageant of Progress Exposition continued at full blast teday despite the streqt car and elevated tie-u|> | which became effective at o’clock Tuesday morning. Undeterred by whatever inconveniences they encountered thousands of visitors arrived early in the day at , the Municipal Pier and every hour , brought additional thousands in automobile trucks, motor busses, antiquated horse-drawn vehicles and trailers drawn by tractors; all bearini prominently displayed the invitation "Ride Free of Charge to the Pageant of Progress.” Under a plan completed more than three weeks ago by Dr. John Dill Robertson, president of the pageant, more than 10,000 owners of pleasure cars have agreed to display ‘Ride Free’ signs on their cars and 5,000 owners of trucks have equipped their vein- (

cles with benches and chairs to i transport the crowds to the pier. In addition every exhibitor of the 600 manuflicturing. industrial and com . mercial concerns has pressed into' service automobiles bearing the pla I card “Ride Free to Our Exhibit at th -i Municipal Pier.” Every motor bus and sight-seeing] company in this city has been granted ‘ permits for the use of Ohio street to I the pier, including tite north side line, of the Chicago Motor Bus company. Special permits ave been issued to the latter by which a line connecting the pier and the regular Michigan Avenue line of the company has been put in operation. Rather than a deterrent, the strike of elevated and street car employes seemed to act as an added novelty and attraction at the pier. Compared with the first three days of the exposition the line of pageanteers at the box office today (Tuesday) exceeded the expectations of pageant officials for even normal conditions. WORK IN CONSERVING INDIANA'S UNDERGROUND WATER BEGAN TODAY Indianapolis, Aug. 3—Work on conserving and improving Indiana's underground water began today, according to offii ials of the state department of conservation. The first part of the work will be a survey conducted by M. J. Stinchfield I drainage engineer of the department.

I It will include an investigation of [draining lowlands and its effect upon | the underground water table in the ’ i Kankakee district once widely known ’[as an immense swamp land. '[ A series of one hundred fifty tests i wells will be sunk, Richard Liebe, diIrector of the department said.' They II will be drilled at seven mile intervals across the state from South Bend to . the Illinois state line. Records of the condition of water in . these wells will be made for from three [ to five years or until such a time drainage of swamp lands means to i Indiana. The work will be done at the request 1 of the U.
