NO WARNING SIGN WHERE BRIDGE WAS OUT

Dr. L M. Washburn and Miss Bajtoo, a Nurse, Almost Went to Watery Grave in Ditch. 1 ‘ ° Someone’s carelessness in not putting a sign of warning thatja bridge was out, almost caused an accident that might have resulted in a double tragedy Sunday night. Dr. L M. Washburn, accompanied by Miss Bartoo, a jiurse from Remington, were going to the home of a patient in Barkliey township at about 8 o’clock at night. Going down a grade toward the Gifford ditch on .the road east of Wesley Hinkle’s farm, the 'doctor was driving his car at about 25 miles an hour. There was nothing to warn him that the bridge across the Gifford ditch was out and he did not know it until he was almost into the ditch. He turned the car to the right, took it through a small ditch at the side of the road and through a barbed wire fence, and out into the field. Neither the doctor nor the nurse were injured in the least and the only damage to the car was several small cuts on the front outer tires, but it was a mighty close call and had they, gone over the bank either one or both of them would surely have been drowned. The bridge had been removed to permit the Hack dredge, which is digging the Jungles ditch, to pass through. It should be some one’s business to see that the proper warning signs are put up and some one should be held responsible for neglect like that of Sunday night. Today opetied up like a real spring day. There was a little rain during the night and,the sun was out bri&ht and warm this morning, its light shimmering across the wet streets and sidewalks. It is certainly remarkable weather and is proving a great thing for those who have to work out of doors. It is not good weather for brisk business, •however, and merchants are all hoping for a spell of real winter before long. ,

You can tie to Lee’s new line of Dependon hose, men’s, women’s and children’s. ' We are the only merchant that has shipped in apples In ear lots, and are able to give you bitter fruit and save you from 25 to 50 cents a barrel on same.

|f yon want to make a present of eojne thing that yonr friend will appreciate, yon will find it at Clarke’s.

ALFALFA DIRECT FROM BERMUDA HILL

Winfred Pullin Sends a Year-Old Sample to Republican—Ray Adams Thera '■ —.. W. H. Pullin, the foremost Hoosier farmer in the Alabama black belt, has sept us an alfalfa plant, one year old, and it now hangs in the of The Republican offfiee. The plant is a sample of what ■ can be done on “Bermuda Hill,” Where Air. Pullin is located. The roots are long and of great size and strength, indicating a very firm growth. The top is bushy and as Mr. PuHin suggests, shows that it is reatfy for a vigorous growth. ypfifred shows his progress by His printed stationary, a thing that every farmer should use. It gives the name of the farm, Berihuda Hill, the bank reference* and tells the character of the soil and some of the natural advantages^the country. It also shows analysis of Bermuda grass and blue grass in respect to fats, protein, carbohydrates and crude fiber. A knowledge of these things in farming is a distinct advantage. The letter was written on T>pc. 12, and states that Ray Adams, who had recently gone there, bought two new teams of horses sth e day before and that Sam Sparling has bought a carload of fine mules. The Hoosiers are going to do things in; that country iA the next few years and they are convinced that there is a splendid chance for their labors being richly rewarded.

BOARD OF ACCOUNTS MAKES ITS REPORT

Claims That Nearly 12,000,000 is Owing to Municipalities, Counties and State. Indianapolis, Dee, 16.— “ Illegally retained moneys” and “county school funds in chaotic conditions,” quotations from the first exhaustive report of the operation of the state board of accounts, made publie Saturday, were provoking terms of which the report contained no sequel Actions instituted by the at-torney-general on reports of the accounting board, however, , were made public from time to time as the different actions were brought against the involved' public officials. Nearly seven thousand offices, including boards, commissions, county and city offices, justices peace, township and school officials, are under the supervision of the accounting board, whieh has operated since 1910. “There has been no general official revision of the Indiana statutes for more than thirty years,” said the board, “and the apparently conflicting provisions of many enactments relating to public business have not only tjeen exceedingly troublesome to officers, but have added greatly yto the responsibilities of this department and have increased the difficulties of its field examiners.” Nearly $2,000,000 is owing to municipalities, counties and the state from former and present office holders, according to the report, exactly No names of officials onplaces)are given. Theboard secured the-return of $448,515.87, but in so doing spent $237,416.48. Defending the big percentage of cost in recovering the public’s money, the report declared: “The benefits accruing from the administration of the accounting law are not to be measured by the amount of recoveries in dollars and cents, but by -Its general repressive effect, Its aid and assistance at all times to officers in the performance of their official duties and in the ultimate bringing about of uniform systems of accounting as applied to all offices, insuring accuracy, efficiency and strict compliance will all legal requirements.” A sugar beet promoter is trying to interest the farmers near "Valparaiso. He proposes the building of a sugar beet factory if the farmers will grow enough beets, stating that a factory disburses about $750,000 per year, $500,000 of whieh goes to the farmer. It is going to be uphill work, however, to get our small grain farmers to give up a sure thing for the uncertainty of sugar beets. The Delphi Herald has been purchased by P. M. Smith, who has run newspapers at Otterbein, Brookston and Chalmers. He is a conscientious man and a hard worker and should be able to greatly improve The Herald. • Christmas Sale of Slippers for men, women and children at Geo. E. Collins' Shoe Store. W. J.
