WEATHER GREAT FOR CORN CROP Prospects Good For Bumper Crop In Adams County This Year With a few showers In between ami the murcury standing around the ninety mark, Adams County ami this] j part of tlie country Is enjoying great corn weather and to use the old ex I pression “you can almost hear it pop. ’ The torn fields In this county never [ looker better and the yield will bo good, It is predicted. A person cannot see over tho top of; the corn now ami If the yield per , I acre is as good accordingly, the farm-i era of this county will harvest a bum- ' per crop. Even within the city limits of Decatur, some excellent corn is be ' Ing grown. On the lots recently purchased by the Everett and Hite company at the corner of Seventh and Adams Streets, where for years the Vail* sawmills stood and Where lumber and sawdust was left to rot. fertilizing the soil until it is as rich as possibly can be made, Henry Schultz, vetertln drayman, has a patch of corn that would take the prize at any fair. The’ stalks are high and loaded with Ibig ears. Home grown roasting oars are also on the market and are selling at twenty-five to thirty cents per dozen. Wells and Jay counties also report prospects for a big corn crop and a clipping from one of the Portland, papers says: ! Last year during the big Shrine < ■ meeting at San Fran' isco the lowa . Shrine Patrol had a catchy chorus j | which everybody sang, hummed or ' vvhisteled, which chanted the praise of “lowa. lowa that’s where the tall, R -orn grows!” Jay county corn grower.B rmight be singing the same song this

Unless the front follows too soon in the wake of the KatyDid predictions, Jay County will see the greatest corn crop ever harvested j tills year. o NICKLE PLATE CARS DERAILED — Small Wreck Occurred Near Dull, Ohio.

Since the reorganization t> of the state fire marshal’s departI ment under Newman T. Miller, in ] May 1921, investigations have been ; made of every fire of suspicious orig in and a greatly increased number of law violators have been brought in s I to the courts. Figures just compiled ; | for the first six months of 1923 show s. that 197 cases were investigated by the arson division, twenty-six contes- . | s;ons were obtained, nineteen persons were convict,ed, and thirty-nine cases are pending in the courts. In 1922 there were 293 cases Inc vestigated in Indiana, and since the -1 reorganization of the department j there has been an increase of more c than 350 percent in investigations, p i Under the present fire marshal’s sysc tern detailed investigations are made i> in every case and a relentless battle e is constantly waged for arson sup--5 pression. “Fire-bugs” and torch maniacs are often trailed into adjoining states and brought back to face trial, and in every case the fire " marshal’s inspectors stick to their tasks until the guilty are brfought up tor prosecution or every clue is exhausted. c . * That this method gets results is shown by a tabulation of arson convictions in the United States in 1922, c gathered by a national fire insurance bureau, which showed that out of 151 c convictions in the entire country last year Indiana had 40, or almost a c, third of the national total.
