Made Known by Application Foreign Representative Carpentier & Company, 122 Michigan Avenue, Chicago. _ _ i Roy Haynes, national prohibition ] officer, will resign in time to enter I the Ohio primaries as a candidate for governor, and if he wins, promises to ' make Ohio dryer than Indiana, if 1 possible. It will probably mean a 1 real scrap for over In that state there 1 is a sharp division of opinion on the 1

Jiqnor question unless things have changes* since those hand-to-Sand struggles of a few years ago. Lew Ellingham is one of the few men in imliauu whom we feel can successfully bring together every worker for democratic success ami we hope he is called to that Job and answers with his old “pep." If the issues are properly presented and backed up by the right kind of an organization, the voters will respond next year and the state needs just that kind of a remedy. Lew is the boy who can put it over and its time for action. The Constiutionul Ehn, under whose spreading branches more than a liund red years ago a band of patriots wrote the constitution of Indiana is dead. It is located at Corydonj Indiana, and for many years has been one of the historic points of greatest interest. A few green leaves appeared this spring hut now have died off and‘the tree has been officially pronounced dead. The trunk will be saved to mark the place and will be encased in u glass house, while the limbs and branches will be saved for souvinirs under direction of the state entomologfst. We arc not scolding or trying ti take a bit of pleasure from any bo; or girl, but just because we believe "safety first” may »3Ve serious injury U) some of you. we are calling attention to the fait that you can't be too careful handling firecrackers 1 and other explosives, popular at this particular season of the year, its so o.isy to get careless and to lose H ti tiger or hand or eve or mar your looks some way, its easy to cause a tire with terrible loss and it doesn't i take carelessness to make a real patriotic Fourth. I’lease remember to he careful and then go ahead and have just the very best time you can. ' i Chicago is recognized hh the tough- 1 u.t pity in the world, has an average ( of a murder a day, has more "‘bright 1 lights" than Parts and a government ' unto herself. Now the city council hy a unanimous vote has ordered the at- 1 torney to submit detailed information as to how to proceed to cet-ede from the state and form a state of Chicago. It 1h probably right that the city is often tampered because of legislative action for the rest of the state which does not fit their demands add by the same reasoning, it Is quite likely that the rest of Illinois is often inconvenienced by demands from the great metropolis ti will be intfcrSsilug procedure to watch at any rate und it successful, may be followed by other cities of great size who feel they , should hive the full power to operate their own government.

It has been suggested that the cost be guaranteed by twenty-five or fifty persons and then paid by the school children of the county. In connection with this movement, it would be line if each school in the county would plant an acre of native trees, each plot containing as nearly as possible one or more of the sixty-six varieties of trees and shrubs native to this county. Such an effort might be the beginning of u plan w hich would gain in momentum and used over the entire country.

, The glorious Fourth is at band again and we will all at least in spirit join In celebrating the 149th anniversary of the forming of this republic. Its a 1 great occasion and while we may think that our young folk are not taught 1 the same brand of patriotism of forty years ago, that's perhaps because we don't pay enough attention to what is being taught in our schools, but prefer to just sit around and find fault. The truth is that the youngsters of today are just as patriotic and know just as much about the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution. George Washington and Tlimuas Jefferson as we did and most of them know more. We hope some where in Decatur and in many places over the county the old Declaration which meant so much down the years of time since 1776, will be read Saturday and that every citizen will pledge his best efforts to a continuation of this greatest land beneath the sun*. as a free democracy, a home for the brave. {Big Features Os ) RADIO Programs Today { WEDNESDAY'S RADIO FEATURES WEAK.

farmer, who discovered, while cutting his weath this week, that the stalks were covered with a sort of a sticky substance which ciung to the clothes, legs of horses, and even the binder canvas so that it moved with difficulty, I lias been diagnosed at the Botany department. of the Purdue Agricultural Experiment Station as a condition ' which is resulting from the late freeze of several weeks ago, and that the sticky substance is sugar, not the kind one uses in coffee, ot' course, but neverthless a type of plant sugar. Sugar on Indiana wheat stalks is something new for Uoosier farmers to con tend with, and the explanation is that this condition prevails only where th6 wheat heads have been killed by the freeze. The tests which disetosed the sugar on the wheat were made at Purdue immediately after the arrival of samples. According to the botanists, the appearance of the sugar is due to the freeze in May, which killed or severely injured the floral parts of the wheat head. The remainder of the plant was unharmbd and continued growth. it is the function of the leaves of wheat to make food which is then turned into sugar and transported to the growing head. But this year the heads having been killed, would not till even though nourishment was supplied. The sugar could not get to its proper place and has simply piled up in the stem, sometimes so abundantly as to actually ooze out of th? surface in the form of sticky substance. This condition can often be discovered by the deep reddish purple of the stalks, and usually when the heads nave not filled, although there are some exceptions to the latter. In some cases, ms in Rush county,

the wheat has partially filled and early I this season the prospects for wheat I were tine.

OBITUARY I oral Ralph Okejey, con cC Mr. »<|<i 1 Mrs. Janies E Okel.r *>» ln Wiltshire. Ohio, March , parted this life June 26. 1925. ;<) vears- 3 months and 7 days, about fifteen years of age he «“* 1 with his parents to Adams county ; an d spent most of the remainder of I his life In and near Decatur, i February 24. 1920 he was united in marriage to Miss Ooldie Burkhead. which union remained unbroken till the day of his death. His wife stay; ed patiently by his side during all of bin sickness and suffering and tenderly ministered, as did his parents and other members of the fanulL All that tender hands and medical aid could do was done to relieve his sufferings and prolong his life, but to no avail, and he passed peacefully and quietly away to his reward Friday morning June 26, about tenthirty. . Beside his father and mother and wife, he is survived by two brothers. Fred of Fort Wayne and Herbert of Decatur; two sisters: Mrs Anna Smith of Decatur; Mrs. Florence Rahbitt, Decatur; also numerous other relatives and friends. He answered the call of the country from Ohio and served with Company A. 146th Machine Gun Batallion during the World War He saw active service in France and took part in a number of major engagements, being gassed at the battle of Chateau Thierry. He was detained in a government hospital in France for seven months and at the close of the war was sent back home with an honorable dismissal from the service. The gas attack doubtless was responsible for his early death. Early in lire he gave his heart to God and Joined the United Brethren church. He was a faithful attendant, 'ami liberal supporter of the interests of the kingdom. In conversation withl his pastor and others he expressed his desire to depart and be at test. J The day before lie went away he j asked some visiting sisters of the church to read for him out of the Book of God and named the twelfth i chapter of Romans as one of his favorites. In biddings his friends and loved j ones good bye lie expressed the hope that he might' meet them in the better world. Thus this soldier of many a hard fought battle has exchanged his armour for a crown of fadeless glory. One by one the people of God are falling in the ranks of the church militant to Join the ranks of tint church triumphant. To his memory sweet, peace, to his body cairn reiiose, to his soul, blessed immortality. s—s—$ —WANT ADS EARN —s—s—s 1
