WEATHER GREAT FOR CORN CROP m t 'Prospects Good For Bumper Crop In Adams County This Year With a few ahowers In between and the murcury standing around the ninety mark. Adams County and this I part of the country is enjoying great ; corn weather and to use the old exj pression "you can almost hear it pop." The corn fields in this county never looker better and the yield will be good, it Is predicted. A person cannot see over the top 01 | the corn now and if the yield perj i acre is as good accordingly, the farm- ' ers of this county will harvest a bum-: ’ per crop. EVen within the city limits i of Decatur, some excellent corn is being grown. On the lots recently purchased by the Everett and Hite company at the corner of Seventh and 1 Adams Streets, where for years *he I 1 Vail sawmills stood and where lumber and sawdust was left to rot, fertilizing the soil until it is as rich as pos- 1 sibly can bo made, Henry Schultz. 1 veteran drayman, has a patch of corn that would take the prize at any fair. ( The stalks are high and loaded with big 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 1 | prospects for a big corn crop and a 1 I clipping from one of the Portland ‘ 'papers says: Last year during the big Shrine * • 1 ! meeting at San Francisco the lowa < I Shrine Patrol had a catchy chorus | which everybody sang, hummed or whisteled, which chanted the praise lof “lowa, towa that's where the tall i < orn grows!" Jav countv corn growers * ■ might be singing the same song this

year for of a truth taller corn has seldom or never been been at this season of the year. Unless the frost fol- ■ lows too soon In the wake of the KatyDid predictions. Jay County will see the greatest corn crop ever harvested this year. , — o NICKLE PLATE CARS DERAILED Small Wreck Occurred Near Dull, Ohio, Yesterday; Damage Was Small Freight train number 44 on the Nickle Plate Railroad, Clover Leaf division was delayed several hours i yesterday ' when three of the heavy car spread a rail at Dull, Ohio, near Sihumut. eleven miles east of Decatur.

Indianapolis, Aug. 2—Examination of the records of the arson division ’| of the State Fire Marshal’s office ’ shows arson is a dangerous practice .' in Indiana. Since the reorganization .of the state fire marshal’s departI ment under Newman T. Miller, in I 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- , to the courts. Figures just compiled | for the first six months of 1923 show ' that 197 cases were investigated by the arson division, twenty-six confesl s:ons were obtained, nineteen persons were convict,ed, and thirty-nine cases are pending in the courts. In 1922 there were 293 cases in- , vestigated in Indiana, and since the j reorganization of the department > there has been an increase of more than 350 percent in investigations. I j Under the present fire marshal’s sys- , tern detailed investigations are made » in every case and a relentless battle j ' is constantly waged for arson sup--1 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 I tor prosecution or every clue is exhausted. | That this method gets results is shown by a tabulation of arson con- ' victions in the United States in 1922, , gathered by a national fire insurance I bureau, which showed that out of 151 • convictions in the entire country last | year Indiana had 40, or almost a 3 1 third of the national total.
