A Cartoon By H.C. Milroy That is Full of Meaning.

H. C. Milroy, of Delphi, is an artist of ability and a cartoon is published in The Carroll County CitizenTimes that he drew following, the tragedy that cost the life of Nightwatch ScalTbn. It is headed A promlef and a Solution,” and the picture shows the cities of Logansport, Lafayette and Delphi. Delphi is located in the center, of the picture, represented by a lustrous sun.* On each side is a circle, one representing Lafayette, the other Logansport. Inside each circle is a line of whiskey barrels. The towns are linked together by two serpents with their heads spitting venom. Out of a barrel on each side is a hideous skeleton. Each has a pistol in each hand. ’Die Lafayette skeleton is shown killing a man, presumably the Delphi nightwatch. The Logansport skeleton is taking the life of a defenseless woman who lies in a bed. Above Delphi, which has been a dry town for several years, which is shown as the radiant rising sun, are the words, “National Prohibition.” Commercial reasons caused businessmen in Lafayette and Logansport to support the wet side of option elections and crimes of the most revolting nature have -resulted and their inspiration traced to the poisonous cup. Delphi unfortunately has a class of people who visit the adjacent cities to procure whiskey and other intoxicants and moer unfortunately still it is visited by drunken men and boys who have been raised in the shadow of the breweries and the licensed saloons. Mr. Milroy’s cartoon has a cheerful and hopeful appearance and we hope reverently that the horoscope the rising sun suggests may be brought about that the thinking people will be so horrified by these whis-key-prompted crimes that they will stand firmly against liquor at every turn. .

EGG “DON'TS” GUARD AGAINST PENALTIES

State Food Commissioner Issues Bulletin Warning Farmers to Carry On Industry Within Law. The interesting bulletin recently issued by the state food and drug commissioner is one in which all persons should be interested, especially those who are interested in the poultry industry. The Indiana law forbids the sale or offering for sale of eggs unfit for human food. Section 2, chapter 104, acts 1907, says: “If it consists in any proportion of a filthy, diseased, decomposed, putrid or rotten animal or vegetable substance, etc.” The penalties provided are: First offense, fine of $lO to S3O. Second offense, $25 to SIOO. Third offense, SIOO and thirty to ninety days’ imprisonment. To avoid the penalties of this pure food law, all dealers have been required to candle all eggs since May 1, 1915, and to throw out all spots, blood rings and rots. The bulletin makes the following, suggestions to the farmers: Sell eggs on the loss-off basis. Provide plenty of clean, dry nests for your hens. Gather the eggs daily in cool weather and twice a day in hot or rainy weather. Do not wash eggs. Use the dirty and small eggs at home. Don’t sell incubator eggs. They are bad. Market your eggs daily if possible. If not, every other day. Don’t sell eggs which were found in stolen nests. Keep the eggs out of the sun when taking them to town. Don’t keep eggs. near oil, onions, etc., as they readily absorb odors. Kill or sell all roosters as soon as the'hatching season is over.

W. C. Babcock Found Little Hessian Fly Indication.

Reports from some parts of the state that the Hessian fly was causing much damage to the wheat caused W. C. Babcock, of the firm of Babcock & Hopkins, to make an investigation Friday and he is convinced that there is little cause for worry here. He went to the Daugherty farm, which is occupied by William Garland, and where there was considerable evidence of the fly last fall. He cut down some fifty stalks and opened each at the joint where the little worm that develops into the fly is deposited. He found the worms in only two stalks. Two worms were in one stalk and one in the other. These little worms get busy as soon as they hatch and they finally get a hole gnawed through the stem and it dries and beraks off at that point and there is no wheat on that stem. They do not do much damage as flies after they leave the stalk, just buzz about and get ready for the fall work of depositing tehir eggs on the new sown wheat. In southern Indiana there was a report of considerable damage..

John was soon entering enthusiastically into the spirit of the evening and dancing was indulged in until 1 o’clock in order to be certain that John safely spent the first hour of his majority. There were about sixty present, mostly young people, and they had a fine time. The success of the event was credited to John’s sister, Miss Evelyn, who planned it throughout, employed the music and made all arrangements before even her parents were taken into the secret.
