The weights and measures law in this state is now in, force and to avoid trouble all dealers should have their .scales adjusted and measures tested, as a violation of the law subjects the dealer to heavy penalties.

There is a movement on foot among the Gleaner Order of Indiana to purshace the entire output of binder twine of the Michigan City prison. The Gleaners are all farmers, none others being admitted to membership. Should the Indiana members conclude to take the twine output of the prison, they would be but following in the footsteps of their brethren in Michigan who have contracted for all the twine which the Jackson prison will make this yeai* The Republican has it from reliable authority that there is no foundation for the report that the Monon is to be double tracked from Monon to Chicago. It is a recognized fact in railroading that double tracks are not needed dntil a road has at least 40 trains per day each way. As the Monon does not have forty trains a day altogether, it can be seen that it may be some time before this improvement may be made. . „ The reorganized Gordon Stock Co., which plays at the opera house Saturday night, were at Lowell last Saturday night. The Lowell Souvenir has the following to say of the play and company: “The production; of -Thelma as produeed by the stock company at Taylor's theatre Saturday night was a good one. To properly stage this play, special scenery and stage settings were required and was well provided 'for. It was like old time to see Mr. Frederick Gordon and Miss Watts before the foot-lights again. They were well received and heartily applauded, to which both responded by bowing graciously. Mr. Gordon has if anything an even better company than he had last season and standard- of the performances are anything like the first, the public certainly has some treats in store in the line of amusements.

ROCK IN OUR RIVER IS 94 PER CENT PURE LIME.

B. Forsythe Has Report of Purdue Chemist Who Recommends It as Excellent Fertiliser. B. Forsythe recently sent to Purdue University samples of the river limestone rock for analysis and the chemist reports that the sample has a neutralizing power equal to 94 per cent pure limestone and on soil which is acid and in need of lime it would be an excellent quality if properly ground. This means that it would be just the fertilizer needed in very much of this country. Mr. Forsythe’s study of soil fertilizers for the past two years by means of correspondence with the surrounding state experiment stations has caused him to reach the conclusion that the only fertilizer the farmer can afford to buy is fine ground rock iphosphate and limestone, as they are soil builders and only need to be used once in five or six' years. The limestone can be furnished here at less tihan 50 cents a ton. Rock phosphate delivered from the southern states at $7.60 to $8.50 per ton. For further information address a postal card to any of the following experiment stations and ask for literature on how to fertilize the soil. Write to the Illinois Agricultural Experiment Station, Urbana, 111., Purdue University, Lafayette, Ind.; or Agricultural Station, Wooster, Ohio. The Urbana people tell the farmers not to use commercial fertilizers, as ; they only stimulate the soil and will burn up your soil in no time, also , that the farmers of Illinois spent over $200,000 last yekr for rock phosphate Land to produce the same amount of grain with commercial fertilizers ‘ would have cost ten times as much or $2,000,000. Illinois experiment station circular of 1911 proved that for a cost of $1 i per acre for rock phosphate they Increased eorn crops 20 to 29 bushels 1 per acre. Illinois worn out soil that produced only 25 bwahels of corn per acre by !- rotating crops and plowing under heavy crops of clover increased corn to 54 bushels per acre. The same land treated with $1 worth of rock phosphate and plowing under heavy crop of elover increased the cfop to 83 bushels per acre, a gain of 28 bushels per acre. It is reported that George Ade, who i farms on a scientific basis, has used about 300 tons of rock phosphate and about 300 ton of rock phosphate and ! Mr. Forsythe will have a thirty-ton | car here about March Ist for experi- ’ mental use on his big farm northr west of Rensselaer.

Files Suit Against Doctors For $20,000 For Malpractice.

John Middlecamp, a ’ former resident of near Kniman, but now of Gary, has brought suit for $20,606 damages against Dr. H. J.

He says that in January, 1910, he was the victim of an accident by which he broke his Teg a few inches above the knee, and dislocated his shoulder.

The case was filed by McCracken & Freer, Lake county attorneys. Dr. Washburn, whose attention was called to an account in a Hammond paper of the filing of the suit, said he had no imeasiness as to the outcome. He says that it was Dr. Law’s case and that he was merely called on to assist him in the operation and intimates that Middlecamp has no grounds for damages.

A MAN DISCOVERED IN AN UNCONSCIOUS CONDITION.

Falls From Wagon In Convulsions and Companions Drive On and Leave Him. This afternoon at about half past one o’clock Alf Donnelly discovered a man lying in the highway near his residence north of town. He was in t convulsions and was taken to Mr. Donnelly’s residence. A letter was found on his person postmarked Wabash, addressed to August Hubert, and this is supposed to be the name of the man. He was apparently 22 or 23 years of age. Drs. English and Kresler were called and found the man in convulsions. Later he was able to talk and was brought to town and placed in jail temporarily. He said that he was with a party of movers and fell off the wagon where he was found. He was intoxicated, the doctors think, which accounted for the condition he was in. The party was moving from Francesvllle to Peoria, 111., and his companions drove on when Huber fell from the wagon. Ho claimed to have had a check for $lO on his person before he became unconscious and thinks his companions might have taken it from him while unconscious. The other men passed x through,here a- short time before Huber was discovered, going south, and Sheriff Hoover started after find out what he could learn. He had not returned at the time of going to press.

Eulogy by Senator Brown Keynote to Taft Campaign.

An Indianapolis dispatch, dated January 25th, says; Achievements of President Taft’s administration were defended Thursday evening by Senator Norris Brown, of Nebraska, at the annual banquet of the Republican-edi-tors of Indiana. The speech was regarded as a key - note of the administration efforts in launching a country-wide campaign. Republican party leaders from all over the state attended the banquet. Senator Brown reviewed what had been accomplished and laid the great est stress on the Payne-Aldrich tariff law, railroad regulation, direct election of United States senators, income tax amendment, enforcement of .the anti-trust law, and the peace treaties. “The Payne law has closed nolaetory,” Senator Brown said; "it has

It should be Improved, a schedule at a time, and this wilF be done If the president and the republican party have their way. “If the press of the United States would tell the whole truth about President Taft,” said the senator in conclusion, “there would not be enough democratic votes in the electoral college to make a quorum.”
