Monticello Hazers Had Pistols—Mild Punishment.

Monticello Journal. Some members of the freshman class, chaperoned by Mr. and Mrs. Jesse L. Fauber, had a week end party at Edgetown, breaking up yesterday. The occasion was marred by an attempted hazing of one or two of the freshman boys by some of the boys of the older classes. The appearance, of an irate father on the scene speedily ended the hazing proposition, but not before the parent had given one or two of the would-be hazers a elpver dose of his fist or hand. One boy was brought over to town and by skillful questioning soon gave up the whole story. A whole grist of. revolvers and pistols was found and the parents of the boys were notified of the situation. The youthful carriers of the guns were let off with a lecture and a warning that a repetition of the offense meant a lodgo ment In jail.

WHAT IS WRONG WITH THE FARM ORCHARD?

Purdue Expert to Answer Question At Meeting in Local Orchard, ' Saturday, October 18th. Farm/orehards are seldom a paying investment. Acre after acre of good Indiana farm land is being wasted and worn by unproductive home orchards. Fruit trees are planted on every farm but fruit is harvested from very few of them. When a crop is secured the fruit is almost worthless, due to the ravages of the numerous pests which prey upon the trees.’ This condition of aflairs has long existed and the farmer has blamed the soil and the climate for his failure. He need never have left his own door step to locate his trouble. His fruit trees were planted—that was all. They received no further care nor attention and a crop was expected. A corn belt farmer would never think of planting a corn crop and allowing it to grow unattended until harvest time and then gather in a bumper yield. Neither can he secure a satisfactory yield of fruit from uncared for trees. Prof. C. G. Woodbury, chief in horticulture, of Purdue experiment station, says: “We have great faith in the future of the Indiana orchard. During the past few seasons the horticultural department has been directing the operations in several home orchards in different parts of the state. These orchards have netted their owners over SIOO per acre in the season of 1912. They were neglected when taken by Purdue. They

are now paying 10 per cent interest on valuations of from S9OO to SI,OOO per acre. We do not do the work, our representative merely tells the owner how to proceed. In order that more farmers might receive this help a series of outdoor demonstration meetings has been inaugurated. Several' leading fruit growers of this community have requested that Purdue hold a meeting in this neighborhood explaining how to make the orchard pay. Such a meeting has been granted. It will be an all day affair and will be held in the orchard of S. 8. Shedd.,ln the morning various orchard problems, such as orchard cultivation, cover-crops, fertilization and pruning will be discussed. The demonstrator will have with him a kit of pruning tools and he will actually prune one or two trees so that those present may become familiar with a properly pruned tree. In the afternoon spraying problems will be taken up. The reasons for spraying will be given and the proper times for applying the mixture will be mentioned. Several of the most important spraying materials will be made on a practical scale and will be applied to the trees. Good and I>oor spray pumps will be shown and advice given to possible purchasers. This is to be a thoroughly practical out-door school of orchard management and will be conducted by an expert. We desire to assist every farmer in Indiana in the care of his orchard and hope that every person in this county who is interested in fruit growing will attend this meeting.” Plan to take advantage of this splendid opportunity to receive actual first hand Information on pruning and spraying. Take your lunch and arrange to stay all day for you cannot afford to miss either session. The morning session will begin promptly at 9:30 and the afternoon session at 1 o’clock. The meeting will be held Saturday, Oct. 18th, in the orchard of S. S. Shedd, Rensselaer, Indiana.

Rev. John-Cavanaugh, president of Notre Dame university, has accepted an invitation to address a meeting of the Northern Indiana Teachers’ association on Indiana Day. April 3, 1914. Charles W. Fair* banks, former vice-president of the United States, will also spCak at thia meeting.

SHORT FURROWS.

(By Abe Martin). We kin fortify ourselves agin a burglar er recover from a cheap plumber; we kin flee t’ th’ mountain an’ avoid th’ flood that sweeps th’ lowlands er we kin muff a Wagner recital, but ther is positively no escape from a gossip. Hattie Moon t’ th’ pustoffice again jist as-fast as her skirt’ll let her. It’s th’ fifth time since ten o’clock. Is it any wonder decent people talk about her?” said Mrs. Tipton Bud t’ Mrs. Tilford Moots this mornin’. Th’ two women had stopped f exchange reports-on Art Simmons an’ his new wife, an’ discuss th’ possibility o’ an early divorce.

Now th’ truth is Hattie Moon is takin’ stenography by mail with th’ intention her widowed mother, biit as she is purty an’ stylish th’ chances are she’ll have t’ git out o’ town. Gittin’ talked about is one o’ th’ penalties fer bein’ purty, while bein’ above suspicion is about th’ only compensation fer bein’ homely. Ever-buddy that hears a little dash o’ gossip remounts it an’ burnishes it up an’ sends it on its way. If you try t’ head' it off you only stir it up. Nearly evefbuddy is more er less Inclined t* gossip, but not alius maliciously. T*h’ fact that Ike Brown is a model husband an’ pays his debts don’t interest no one. Th’ fact that his wife is a splendid woman has no news value. But if you intimate that Ike Brown is on his last legs er that his wife has been visitin’ her mother unusually long, you’ll have a crowd around you in a minute. Jist whisper that a certain woman looks unhappy an’ th’ card clubs’ll have her separated from her husband in a week.

An’ gossipln halnt confined t’ women an’ little towns. Wherever tiler's people tiler's gossip. Clubs are clearin’ houses fer gossip. Some clubs are organized fer historical research: some are organized to better social conditions, while others are organized fer sdcial pleasure. Yet I doubt if anybuddy ever attended any kind of a club meetin’ without annexin a little information o’ a sensational nature. Nobuddy’s affairs ever demanded so much o’ ther time that they couldn’t give a little attention t’ th’ affairs o’ others. It’s wonderful how much capacity some folks have—how easily they kin watch ever* detail o’ ther own business an’ yours too. A long nosed model housekeeper kin take her sewin’ an’ pull her rock chair up t’ a side window an’ see more through a pair o’ ninetyeight cent lace curtains than a Scotland Yard detective could find out In a year.
