Fowler is Giving Rev. Postill a Big Send Off.

Rev. and Mrs. C. W.Postill are being shown a number of honors prior to their leaving Fowler for Attica. The M. E. church gave a reception in their honor Tuesday evening and Rev. Postill was made the guest of honor at the banquet following the installation Of the officers of the Uniform Ranks Knights of Pythias. Rev. Postill is an enthusiastic member of the uniformed rank of that order v gnd is the chaplain of the regiment to which both the Fowled and Attica companies belong and his removal to the latter city will permit him to retain his rank. Of another function the Fowler Republican-Leader says: “The Epworth League surprised Rev. Postill Saturday evening by calling in a body when not expected. At the close of the evening’s fun, Jay Smith, president of the league, presented Mr. Postill, in behalf of the league, with a beautiful watch fob, upon which was engraved the Epworth League emblem, as a parting gift of the league. All ieft wishing Mr. and Mrs. Postill the best of good luck in their new home.”

State Board of Accounts Has Hearing By Legislature.

A resolution was introduce by Representative Wells of Scott and Jennings counties requiring Chief Dehority of the state board of accountants to furnish some information as to what it costs to run his department and what it is accomplishing. The resolution was passed and the report was promised for 11 o’clock Wednesday. When, at that hour, it had not arrived Representative Wells raised some “suds,” and said it seemed funny that a department created to regulate all the offices in that state should not be ready to render an accounting of its own proceedings upon call. Representative Wells sent for Chief Dehorlty and informed him that he had been running his office like a czar and that his report must be forthcoming or there would be some real trouble.

The report was filed later in the day and showed that $50,926.11 had been recovered since the board began business a year ago. It also showed that it had paid out to field examiners $145,652.30. Thus it has cost three times as much to operate the department as it has recovered. The average number of field examiners during the year was 52. These draw a total of $1,040 per day, which would indicate that the expense for the examiners alone would exceed $300,000 per year. The report explains that all errors on the part of trustees and others have been charged against the officers, even though the money could not be recovered. The report showed that there had been recovered from jounty officials $5,873.91, while the cost of examining the books of county officers had been $49,145 as salaries and $431.28 in railroad fares. From trustees there was recovered $30,389.85 and the expense for examiners was $68,130.70, with $1,106.66 added for railroad fares. The municipal examinations came nearer breaking even. From towns and cities there was recovered $14,573.59 and the cost of recovering this was $16,081.42 for examiners and $326.90 for railroad fares. The sum of $129.76 was recovered from school official's and the cost of examinations was $3,727.95 and $109.69 for railroad fare.

The report says that to recover any more of the poney charged against officials litigation must be resorted to. The effect of the report will certainly result In the changing of the law to materially reduce the operating expenses. Another effect will he to prove that theft are a lot of officials in the state of Indiana who are not dishonest -and it will show that it takes about three times as much by the present method to recover from a corrupt official as the official had stolen. The law is in disfavor about all over the state as seems conclusive from the vote on the Wells’ resolution demanding an immediate report, which was 74 to 15 in favor of the report and that in view of the effort of the democratic floor leader to pacify Representative Wells by assuring him that the report would soon be supplied.

Our Country, a farm magazine, believes that silos will be the means of revolutionizing farming and stock raising, especially in the corn belt. By placing the corn in silos each acre will be made to bring four times its present value, when fed to cattle. The country is waking up to the possibilities of silos. Instead <jf whole fields of corn stalks going to waste, thousands and millions of acres of them, this great quantity of feed will be ■utilized and, placed on the market as fat steers and sheep or fed to mules. Forty per cent of the corn crop of the United States is wasted every year. Some day it will all be saved, and the silo is the solution, F. Thompson, Rensselaer, Ind., sells the Indiana.

Otto Anderson Wishes He Was Back on a Jasper County Farm.

In renewing his subscription to The Semi-Weekly Republican, Otto Anderson, who moved last spring to Hansboro, N. Dak., writes as follows: “I thought I would write to let you know how I am getting along. We are all right, .but wish we were back on the W. V, Porter farm again, as I have lost S7OO since I left his place. It is better to give half rent on a place where the crop is sure, than one-fourth where there isn't more than 2 out of 3 crops. “It is cold and stormy here and has been 40 .below zero, but is some warmer now. The snow is about 12 inches deep and drifted. I do not think this is the place for a poor man as everything is as high again as it was in Rensselaer, except postage stamps and they are the same. “I would like to buy a. place of 80 acres that is fair for dairying, i would like to trade my horses and implements on it, and save shipping them back. The implements are all new. I will be back in October, to Jive.: I hope this will find you all well.”
