The kernel is soft and is shriveled and while the market on wheat is about 90 cents they are not able to pay more than 70 cents a bushel for much of the local product. Fortunately there is but small acreage if this poor quality is to maintain.

Bass Lake, Winamac and Francesville. They found the roads in pretty fair condition and had no trouble at all, not even a puncture.

The annual Fountain Park assembly will begin next Sunday, August tOth, and last until August 25th. There is a splendid outlook for a good attendance there as far as the ground is concerned. Every cottage will be occupied and several more could be rented. More rooms in the hotel are engaged than ever before, and many tents have been erected, besides the rooms for light housekeeping in the Pioneer Hotel and Restaurant. The program is one of the very best in the history of the park. Probably two of the biggest days will be the Gov. Glenn Day and the Old Settlers’ Day, when S. M. Ralston, of Lebanon, democratic nominee for governor, will be there. Next Sunday will be Sunday School Day and a big crowd -is expected as a fine program has been prepared.
