Two threats against the winter wheat crop of 1928 must be reckoned wi:h this year as in years gone past. These are the Hessian fly and winterkilling. Os these two dangers, winterkilling ig probably the more serious in this county, but both stand as possible causes of loss to wheat growers. The fly, of course. Is best con,rolled by delayed seeding until the “flyfree" date, which in this section is usually about September 25. This leaves/ only a short growing season for the wheat to make heavy root development and top growth, and, unless the winter be unusually favorable, losses in stand are likely to occur. These lossan may be as low as 10 to 15 per cent or they may make it necessary to plow up the field and put in other crops. This cos s much in seed, labor and power. The part that fertilizer plays in meeting these two dangerous threats is important. By having a ready supply of available plant foods, thewheat see<H ng finds itself in the most favorable condition for rapid growth of leaves and development of a heavy, spreading system. A heavy root system and good top growth enable (he wheat field to catch and hold more snow, reduce the rapid changes from freezing to thawing and resist “heaving" of the roots. 1 It Is still too early to know just how dangerous the fly will be this 1 year. Indications are that it will be greater in many places, as summer surveys by entomologists in some sections show an infestation of 21 per i cent of the straws, compared to 9 per cent last summer. o When some people do you favors ' i they never let you forget it. : Lots of people make a specialty of , potmug ice water on enthusiasm Qet the Habit—Trade at Home, It Pays

Mr. Fledderjohann was associated with John Koenig of Celina in the enterpt ise and just little more titan 20 years ago the first cars were operated over the line. About ten years ago the line was ' sold at receiver's sale to Henry C.

FILES SUIT TO OBTAIN OFFICE (COXTIXUKD FROM PAGE O5E> The plantiff also alleges that the defendant. Nathan Nelson, refused to turn the office over to her. The plaintiff prays that said defendant be ousted from said oflce and that the possession thereof be given to her along with all the books and papers thereto belonging and the emoluments of said office be turned over to her. The plaintiff alleges that said defendant. has since August Ist. usurped said office and ever since said day lias wrongfully held the same and has since said day wrongfully kept the said Ella Peoples out of the possession of the same. Mr. Nelson stated that he would fight the ouster proceedings, on the grounds that his successor is not duly qualified to hold said office and that he has letters from Blanche Merry, state attendance officer, to hold the office. The case was docketed for September the Bth and will be heard by Judge Jesse C. Sutton, of the Adams Circuit court. Mr. Nelson has served his second year as county attendance officer. At the annual meeting of the county board of education last May, Mrs. Peoples was chosen county attendance officer, the new term beginning August 1, 192., but Mr. Nelson refused to give up the office when he and Clifton E. Striker, county superintendent of schools were advised that Mrs. Peoples did not pass the required examination and was not entitled to hold the office. f HEDDA HOYT TELLS | j ....about.. J FASHIONS for WOMEN | * By Hedda Hoyt (United Press Fashion Editor) New York, Aug. 29—(UP)— Velvet and velvet combined with contrasting fabrics will play important roles in fall millinery. Plain, embossed and printed velvets will perhaps be most important although the hdinwiijg combinations are also frequently shown: velvet and velours, velvet and satin velvet and felt, velvet and velvet and brocade and velvet and gold leather. It is thought that plain velours and felts will prevail for morning wear while velvets and combinations of velvet and other fabrics will rule for afternoon occasions. Perhaps it is due to the velvet vogue, that turbans of draped type are returning to fashion One sees many turbans among the French millinery as well as among American models. In selecting a dress trimmed with tiers, select one which has diagonal tiers rather than horizontal tiers as the former types are newer. The slightly raised waistiind is suggested in many of the advanced fall gowns, oftimes the raising O s the waist being suggested at the front only. A horizontal drape or tuck may lie all that is necessary to suggest the raising of the waist. Black lace used as a lingerie item for trimming or instead of fabric is emphasized in fall collections. Entire-step-ins of black scalloped-edged laces with the scallops forming the borders are shown for dressywear. When black lace is used for trimming it is generally combined with pale pin k georgette or ne; an dthls combjn ation is repeated often. Brown fs to be one of the outstanding fall fabric shades. Almost all of the darker browns will be used as well as woodbrown tones and reddish browns. Shoes, hosiery and handbags of brown will be important due to the vogue for costume harmony. Carnelian and jade jewelry will replace the popular pinkish rosequartz as fall advances. Both real and Imitation stones of carnelian and jade are being made into chokers, bracelets, rings and earrings.
