DEMONSTRATION AT ALTER FARM SUCCESS.

About 100 Farmers Attended Trimming and Spraying SchooHn Union Township. The demonstrations by Prof. W» D. Palmer, of Purdue Universfry* in the cultivatioh, trimming and spraying of orchards In Jasper county proved interesting, instructive and should have a lasting effect on the making of better orchards and better fruit The .last of the five demonstrations was conducted Wednesday at the John E. Alter farm in Union township, where upwards of a hundred farmers gathered to witness the work of the expert and to get what schooling they could for future use in caring for their orchards. Besides farmers from Union township, there were a number from Barkley and Marion and others. Dr. H. L. Brown and B. Forsythe, of Rensselaer, were present and a number from the college. All speak very highly of Mr. work. The attendance was the largest of the five meetings held in Jasper county. In all about three hundred attended the schools of instruction. There is a call for more meetings but there will be no more this year. It is quite probable that in the spring or some time next year other and perhaps . more meetings will be held. Orchard inspections, which are enforced in many states, doubtless save many trees and result in a much better quality of fruit. An inspection is being asked by a number and a Purdue expert may respond at some future time and take the matter up. The success of the meetings has inspired interest along auxiliary lines and the ladies are getting stirred up and there is talk of domestic science meetings with Purdue instructors yet this fall. The regular institute jpeetings of farmers are being' planned. Parr, Rensselaer and probably Remington jire to have meetings, which will be announced later and the president and county officers should have the support of all progressive farmers in these meetings.

COLLEGEVILLE.

The C. L. S. held their regular meeting Sunday morning, the principal feature of it being the installation of the newly elected officers. Mr. E. P. Honan was also present and delivered his first parliamentary law lecture. On Oct. 13, the college juniors played their first foot ball game of the season with the Rensselaer juniors and won from them by the score of 16 to 0. The game was fast and snappy, the teams being well matched both in wits and weight. It was particularly agreeable to. notice that the scrambling and quarreling so much indulged in formerly was absent. A. Cavanaugh put up the best game and to his efforts especially the victory of the college boys is Sue. These visitors were with us during the week: Mr. and Mrs. F. X, Kpeutzer, Peru; Mrs. M. J. Dermody, Mrs. J. C. Collins, Mrs. Basil Walker, Hammond; Mrs. Cunningham, Joliet; Mr. and Mrs. Maschek, Miss Marie Maschek, Earl Maschek, Mrs. Monahan, Miss M. C. McMahon, Chicago; Mrs. Murphy, Mrs, Carroll, Crawfordsville; Mrs. E. J. and Miss Florence Vesque, Terre Haute. Columbus Day is the first college free day of the year, and the students spent it mostly by rambling about the country. On the eve of the day the C. L. S, presented their first public entertainment. Otto Mueller, the newly elected president, delivered his inaugural speech on the subject of the “Catholic Societies.” Michael Petzold next recited the “Breaking of the Ice.” With his splendid though comic harangue on woman suffrage, Anthony Pax gave his hearers ample occasion for a hearty laugh. Thomas Harrington and Charles Bueche debated the question: That Intercollegiate Athletics should be abolished. The first speaker succeeded in convincing the judges that his views were the better ones. ‘The Dutchman’s 'Picnic,” a farce enacted by Eugene Omlar, Leo. Gnau and Aloys Cook was a well rendered, conclusion in the evening’s program. The musical numbers were in charge of the band, and they gave unmistakable evidence that they will be heard from before the last Sunday evening concert in June will have been played. The rendition of the performance was under the direction of Rev. I. J. Rapp.

AGED LADY FELL AT F. M. PARKER HOME.

Mrs. Mary Pritchard, of Franklin, J Planning Trip to West, Suffers Injuries From Fall. Mrs. Mary M. Pritchard, of Franklin, who with her daughter, Mrs. Ira Pickerel, of Indianapolis, has been visiting Mr. and Mrs. F. M. Parker and other relatives here, had a severe fall this Thursday morning that will, at least, keep her laid up for several days. Mrs. Pritchard and daughter were planning to leave at 10:12 this morning for Chicago and after a short visit there were going to lowa to visit other relatives. They were at the home Of F. M. Parker, in the north part of the city. Mrs. Pritchard was coming down stairs at about 7 o’clock and became dizzy and fell two-thirds of the way dawn, landing on the floor at the bottom of the steps. She is quite a large woman and the fall was a severe shock to her. One leg and one elbow were especially bruised but she apparently suffered no fractures. The shock, however, was a severe one and she will be laid up for some days,' thus causing a postponment, though not an abandonment of the lowa trip. She is the widow of David Pritchard, who died five years ago, and is a sister-in-law of Mrs. Parker.

LITTLE BOY SET FIRE TO THE BARN.

The farm is tenanted by Mr. Moore’s son, Vic, and his little son, 4 years of age, set it on fire. After he was certain that it was going to burn the little tad ran toward the house and told his father he did it, evidently thinking his father would be delighted at the big blaze. Mr. Moore, with the assistance of neighbors, saved the horses, buggies, farm tools, etc., but about a ton of hay and $45 worth of corn was burned.

Hannis Taylor, former United States minister to Spain, in an address delivered before the Knife and Fork club of South Rend, declared that thg tpljs for fhp maintenance of the Panama canal should be pQllected from the ships of foreign nations and not from the merchant marine of the United States. American ships, he contended, should have every possible assistance from the government, Charley Arnold, who left Jasper county a year ago and located at Flint, Mich., near which place he bought a farm, has been visiting hie brother, Eli Arnold, and family the past week. Accompanied by his family he drove his new Flanders auto through from Flint, stopping for about two weeks v with relatives at Wabash. The distance they came was about 340 miles and |bpy bad only one puncture en rputg. Phjsstgr Jkfub'ld and his pister both drive the par and all pa ma have to do is to enJoy the scenery en route. They left today on the return trip, being accompanied by Eli Arnold’s children, Horry, Fannie, Kathryn end Marie, in Eli’s car. They will go as far as Wabash, The proposition came up a week ago at the Woodman lodge to forfeit the lodge hall and rent less expensive quarters. Clerk Mustard notified all members of a meeting to be held Wednesday night of this week to discuss the matter. No action was taken, however, and the matter deferred until the meeting two. weeks later, Oct. 30th. The meetings lately have been poorly attended and there have been no new members to keep up the interest. The new basis of insurance rates is certain to destroy the great growth made previous years and to cause many tp drop membership after'the first of pext year when the rates become effective. Whllp thp new rates put the insurance on a business basis and is really a guarantee of stability, It is not expected to maintain the great membership nor to Inspire interest in the fraternal features of the order. Clerfl Mustard believes that it wopld be a good thing to hire an office for the clerk and to maintain the organisation on a business basis, which would bp more economical and accomplish the desired results- The hope has been expressed that a large number of the members will come out at the next meeting and express themselves about the matter under discussion.

INTELLIGENCE OF ANTS.

If Dr, Howard, the chief of the Bureau of Entomology of the Department of Agriculture were not well known over at least two continents as an eminently practical scientist whose intelligent and aggressive work has saved from bug ravages millions of dollars* worth of agricultural produce, his story of the intelligence of ants, as observed in the greenhouses of the Department were certainly consigned to the “nature faking” class. But knowing the Doctor’s hard-headed successes the possible imputation falls to the ground. As the story goes, one of the greenhouses of the Department is frequented in considerable numbers by a medium sized black ant/ attracted by the presence of mealy bugs and plant Hoe on the hot-house plants. As is well known ants are especially fond of the nectar secreted by those insects. Some years ago a colony of Liberian coffee trees were started in the greenhouse. At the bases of the leaves of these coffee ’trees can be found very small neotarsecretlng glands. The ants soon discovered this and sipped the nectar. Then the idea seemed to occur to some clever, ant that these nectar glands would be the best place in the world for the mealy bugs to live and grow fat and in consequence secrete a great deal more nectar than they would if left on other parts of the leaves. But the nectar glands on the coffee tree leaves were each too small to accommodate even one mealy bug. So the word was passed around and the ants gnawed the edges of the glands and enlarged them SO that each would support a goodsized mealy bug, which the-arfits then carried to it. The mealy bug throve exceedingly. The gland was enlarged still further and a whole family of mealy bugs was raised in the same hole. Thus a custom grew up and many such greatly enlarged glands were found in a few months, the ants reaping a plentiful supply of their beloved nectar. Here then, said Dr. Howard, was an ant apparently taking advantage of an opportunity which was new not only to the experience of the Individual but new to the experience of .the race, and if we adopt the most reasonable , of the definitions of instinct, there seems to have been displayed intelligence of a high order.—The Indiana Farmer.

HANGING AS A SPECTACLE.

We would not deny the gravity of death, it Is a quite serious matter even to those of us who, while conscious of, or at least admitting, no really sinful performances in thq past, would nevertheless, If pressed, gopfess to certain minor indiscretions which we would be only toq willing tQ join with the Lord In forgeting. Nevertheless, if form or ceremony or general interest be considered the criterion, dying Is one of the most popular things one can do. Nobody goes to see a man born, but the entire community turns out to see him buried. Indeed, It is well known that many people, perhaps a majority, derive actual enjoyment from beholding with their own eyes life flicker out of a person’s body. The almost universal satisfaction found, from time immemorial. In witnessing a hanging we can understand; the event is more spectacular gnd less expensive that a circus, possesses grisly human Interpet to a distinctive degree, is presumably grimly just and, in any case, is unpreventable. If the hanging is to take place anyway, why shouldn't we see it? That is the reasoning—' and It seems good enough if one cares for that variety of sport.—North American Review.

THE PROFESSOR’S LOT.

Only a short time ago a college teacher spoke seriously in public of the banker, the lawyer, and even of the burglar as being tn touch with jifp |n a truer sense than is the university professor, writes George MStratton in the Atlantic. And the professors’ frequent reference to the poor rewards and all the outward hardship of their work indicates some little envy of the goods of life which ccme to the merchant, the lawyer, and the physician. Yet there is no 10l of earth that offers greater rewards and greater opportunities. And when an individual has grievances, the blame is often placed primarily on the president of an institution since the form of organisation encourages the professors to place the responsibility. It would be more fitting if their constitution gave no pxcuse, but constantly invited each tppprceivethat with himself it posted whether he would succeed qr fall. The efforts of the Newark polios to supress the traffic in cocaine among schoolboys will excuse any temporary relaxation of vigilance at saloon side doors.
