Semans. The devotional topi'*, . “Overwhelming Popularity," in which references were read by the Misses Florence Myers, Lillian Rice, ( Estella Chronister, Marie Butler and ( Mr. Alpheus Roop, proved instrur- , live and interesting and excited considerable speculation. ( A vceal solo by Miss Carver, the blind soloist, evoked much praise and many encores. “The Development of ( Man Through Five Institutions,” a , subject of much importance, and worth, was discussed by Messrs. Don Burk, Virgil Krick, Earl Reichart. Milton Miller and Miss Etta Mallo- - nee. A piano solo by Miss Ireta Butler was interesting and pleasing. Miss Faye Smith evoked great praise in her reading which followed the piano solo. C. L. Walters handled bis subject, "Common Dangers of Great Achievements" in an able manner and managed to bring out points which furnish much food for thought. Following the address music by the orchestra and a song closed the meeting. Attorneys L. C. DeVoss and D. E. Smith for the city of Decatur, defendant, and Attorneys A. P. Beatty and C. J. Lutz, for Mrs. Rebekah Eady, plaintiff, were in Fort Wayne this morning, where they argued the motion for a new trial in the Allen cirsuit court, where the case was venued from the Adams circuit court. Judge O’Rourke overruled the motion, and rendered judgment on the verdict of the jury, returned several months ago, which gave the plaintiff a judgment of 84,750 against the city of Decatur. The case will be appealed to the superior court. The case grew out of the death of the plaintiffs husband, Jacob Eady, who was electrocuted , while in the employ of the Decat’tr 1 electric light plant. i WORLD-WIDE PRAYER i In Appreciation of Free-Schools Os- 1 sered Tomorrow. • In accordance with the movement I , inaugurated by the National Reform > Association, many Decatur church! people will take part tomorrow in the ‘ world-wide prayer offering and edocaj tion services in appreciation of the 1 great free-school system of the world. > Many ministers have prepared ser-. mons relating to education and the ) care of the young, and these will be ) delivered on this day as well as the ) offering of prayer.

I “Another man In the case." a story ■ old and yet new. is responsible for the ' breaking up of the home of Harvey i Brod beck, a highly respected man of I jiobo, who came to this city Friday 1 and at noon appeared at the Erie | depot with Deputy Kelly and took pos 1 session of the four children just as the mother, Mrs Iva Brodbeck, was pre paring to leave with them for the state of Washington, where, it is sup- , pos»-d. according to the husband, and others. Interested in the case, she would be joined by “the other man.” . The children range in age from | twelve to four years, and are: XarifI fa. 12; Rufard. 9; Geraldine. 6, and Gerald. 4. all bright-looking, fine children. The family has resided in Bobo for some time, and since June 12th one Frank Thompson, worker on the Erie double track, has boarded with them The affection between Thompson and Mrs Brodbeck grew Mr. Brodbeck did not like the state of affairs and had Thompson arrested one day this week, he drawing a fine of 810 and costs for trespass The breach widened at thia time, and Thursday Mrs. Brodbeck declared she would leave today for the west and take the chil-1 dren with her, Brodbeck circumvent ing this intention as stated before. When the husband appeared at the depot at noon he demanded the children, and Mrs Brodbck opened the trunks and took out their clothing. and turned It over to him, together I with the little ones About 2: .0 o'clock Mr. Brodbeck drove home with them. Mr. Brodbeck is said to be a highly esteemed man. of fine family, and in an interview this morning seemed deeply affected over the action of his wife. Thompson was at Wren, Ohio, on Thursday, but it is said intends to leave the employ of the railroad as soon as he can get the money due him for services It is said he told Mrs. Brodbeck that he expected to join her in about two weeks. Six natives of Croatia, Austria, who have come to work in the Adams beet fields, working in French township, want to become American citizens and vote.

HOME ORCHARD EXHIBITS. ■ At a recent meeting of the Indiana 1 Apple Show Commission it was decided to offer premiums for the best exhibits made from bor fide home archards. There are numerous home orchards in Indiana and some means should be taken in preserving them. E. R. Smith, president of the Apple Show Commission, says: “Too many of our modern apple shows cater largely to the large commercial grower. It is true that the future »f the ©

y apple, as a money crop, depends on e the commercial grower, still, the y farmer should plan to raise at least f enough fruit for home consumption y The farm orchard should be small. e The varieties should be such that '' their range of ripening will extend 1 over the entire season. Above all it should be cared for. The fruit for e the family should be perfect as that " for, as that for the market. It is to ! encourage the general care of the ’ farm orchards that the Apple Show Commission has appropriated 8150.00 I to be used for suitable premiums for fruit from real home orchards The I I prizes are: First. 175.06; second, ?! $50.00, and third. 825.00. We want j every home orchardlst in Indiana to r be represented at the 1912 show The ”, style of exhibit is optional with the grower. The only restriction is that the fruit shall have been grown in 1 i an orchard of less than 100 trees lo- : cated in Indiana, for this show It an 1 Indiana show.” ’ o 1 “A PAIR OF COUNTRY KIDS.” In these strenuous days of frenzied finance and constant bustle it is a I pleasure to go to the theater and see a first-class up-to-date play, a company of real actors that can act, sing and dance, all surrounded with art from the scenic artist, to take us back to the country and the real old : fashioned folks of the farms and vil- ■ lages. To see all this without buffoonery, noisy farce and vulgar, cheap specialties is surely an inducement for any one of us to go and spend an evening where we can for the time forget our every struggle. Such a treat is in store for our theatgoers in the appearance of “A P"'r> of Country Kids” at the Bosse op-j era house Tuesday, October lOt'i. Manager Bosse, from all reports re-| ceived of this attraction, can guarau-. tee all promises will be filled to the letter. C. Jay Smith, the manager,! is keeping faith with the public from i all reports, and to all lovers of the ( rural drama, this is an opportunity see the best and one that is entire'" 1 different from all others. WILL BE FINE — The Program of Epworth League at Methodist Church Sunday. The program to be rendered Sunday evening by the Epworth league promises to be the best ever rendered, and the numbers arranged for the oc-j casion will be most pleasing. Although the program itself la one of the best ever prepared the features of the evening will be the singing of the blind soloist Miss Carver. The people of Decatur are well acquainted with this lady of high musical talent and those who have heard her on previous occasions will surely attend at this time Another special number of the evening is the reading of Miss Faye Smith and combined with the other numbers the program Is the best ever. o A large, well-filled barn, the prop- j erty of Fred Koenig, who resides' about a half mile south of the southern corporation line of this city, was totally destroyed by fire Friday afternoon about 3 o'clock, a large quantity of grain and implements also being included In the loss. The barn was forty by ninety feet in size and contained the season's crop of hay, a large quantity of straw, and over a hundred bushels of rye, besides farming implements and stock. Th r origin of the fire is thought to lie overheating, as the straw was wet when placed in the barn and the excessive heat of the past few days may have caused spontaneous combustion. The first notice of the fire was when the men who were threshing at the Henry Barkley farm just across two fields saw the flames, and they immediately clossd down the machine 1 and ran for the fire. By the time of , their arrival the contents of the barn | were a blazing mass and all that they accomplished was the getting oift of all the stock. The wind from the southwest fanned the sparks over . the house which stood close by, and the men gave their efforts to saving that property. The Johnson home just across the road was also in dan- ! ger and several men were necessary to protect it. I A call was sent to the city fire de • partment to come out and help save! i the houses and with the consent of > the board of safety Captain Dellinger 1 made the run. Near the Ben Eiting > home about a quarter of a mile from the scene of the fire the engine stopped and it was necessary to pull the machine to the fire with another automobile. The refusal of the pump to i work and the consequent failure of • a water circulation was the cause of - the engine stoppage. Later in the afternoon the machine - was pulled into town by Henry Hesss ler in his automobile. i. The barn destroyed was just built e this summer at a cost of approxiJ’ mately two thousand dollars and r probably contained another thousand dollars’ worth of implements and e grain. The property was insured for

a 82.500 In the Continental company, r and Mr. Koenig's loss will be about t 81.000 I. At the time of the fire no one was at home except a fiveyear-old daught ter and a baby, but soon after the I barn was fired Mrs Koenig arrived t' from the farm south, where they forr merly lived and was prostrated with t excitement Mr. Koenig did not lea-n j, of his loss until late in the evening > as he was hauling bolts and did not ■! arrive until then. i Had it not been for the quick arrival of the men from Barkleys, » the house would have probably been , destroyed also, as the strong wind I was blowing live sparks over the en- > 1 tire building. t . i i ■— —- ’Q Su-.vimded b) near and dear ones. Mrs. Mary Forbing. wife of Peter Forbing. a highly esteemed lady of this city, passed o”‘ of this life at fifteen minutes past four o’clock Fri day evening, following an illness of more than six years. Paralysis was the direct cause of death, and from the early dawn of her sickness her condition was such that she was , scarcely able to leave the house. Stroke followed stroke, affecting her entire body, but always leaving her to a certain extent, to be followed by another, which gradually broke down > her health completely. Early in Feb--ruary, or seven months ago, a stroke' affecting her speech mostly, came on' and from that time on she was forced} to take to her bed, growing gradual-* ly worse until death relieved all. j During her lingering illness she en- * dured her sufferings without a murmur and patient at all times to th’' , last. Although helpless nearly all the time her condition was rendered ( much more so on last Saturday when | a serious change came on and from v hich time she was unconscious, and ‘ I even those of her own household were beyond recognition On Med- ( ' nesday signs of death became more , Imminent, and from then cn the hou" ' was expected at all t’mes. She rai-, > lied from sinking spelh slightly on . «*verh! nc,ssiotiS. but at nccr. T.i! ‘ Jeath was expected, and the cud ex io j peacefully and quietly at the hour I mentioned. Her long sickness had ; rendered her frail body to almost nothing, and her strength gradually ebbed away until conquered by the death angel. Mrs Forbing was the daughter of John Tonnelier, born and reared in ( ! Union township. All, with the , tion of several years spent in Kenton, Ohio, her entire lif» of sixty-four

An Easy Way to Stop a Serious Waste CAN you imagine the average housewife of the corn belt refusing to collect eggs because they were not worth as much as the hens? Yet in this same corn belt many corn growers waste every year almost as large a part of the corn crop as eggs are of the poultry business. The feeding value of corn stover, cut at the tight time and properly cured, is about one-third of the total crop. If you have been letting this good fodder go to waste you should know that there is an ea»y way to save it. That way is to use an I H C Corn Binder Deering, McCormick, Milwaukee, or Osborne The difficulty has been to harvest the corn at the right time, and quickly enough to retain all the good feeding value of the stalks and leaves. You can't always get extra help to harvest it quickly with corn knives. With an I H C corn binder you can harvest forty acres in seven days from the time the ears begin to glaze. Then, when the whole crop is run through an IHC hosker and shredder — either Deering, McCormick, or Plano — you have secured as nearly all of your corn crop as could be harvested. Your corn is husked clean and you have besides a large quantity of nutritious roughage for the winter feeding of your stock.
