NEW FORAGE SEED GIVEN TO FARMERS

Department of Agriculture Plant* Free Dtetributibn —Reports of Teets to Be Required. Washington, D. C., Dec. 17.—The department of agriculture is offering an opportunity to Indiana farmers to obtain sVeds for new and rare forage crops. A letter which has been sent to every member of the Indiana congressional delegation says: In connection with the distribution of new and rare seeds the department respectfully solicits your co-opera-tion in its efforts to place the seed included in this distribution in. the hands of farmers who will be sufficiently interested to give it careful attention and who will report to the department the results obtained with their tests. In arranging for this distribution the most promising new and rare forage crops have been given first consideration. Since these newer crops are not equally well adapted to all sections of the country there is necessarily some difference in the number of packages of seed available for the various districts. We have available to place with farmers in your district 500 onepound packages of Sudan grass seed, 100 four-pound packages of Montana grown alfalfa seed and 200 fivepound packages of an improved variety of field peas. Each package contains a sufficient quantity of seed for a satisfactory field test.

SAGE TEA PUTS LIFE AND COLOR IN HAIR

Don’t Stay Gray! It Darkens So Naturally That Nobody Can Tell. You can turn gray, faded hair beautifully dark and lustrous almost over night if you’ll get a 50 cent bottle of “Wyeth’s Sage and Sulphur Compound” at any drug store. Millions of bottles of this old, famous Sage Tea Recipe are sold annually, says a well-known druggist here, because it darkens*tfie hair so naturally and evenly that no one can tell it has been applied. Those whose hair is turning gray, becoming faded, dry, scraggly and thin have a surprise awaiting them, because after one or two applications the gray hair vanishes and your locks become luxuriantly dark and beautiful—all dandruff goes, scalp itching and falling hair stops. Thio is the age of youth. Grayhaired, unattractive folks aren’t wanted around, so get busy with Wyeth’s Sage and Sulphur tonight and you’ll be delighted with your dark, handsome hair and your youthful appearance within a few days.

Obituary of Mrs. Addrean Casto.

Miss Addrean Hilton, daughter of Dennis and Malida Hilton, was born in Gillam township, April 25, 1851, and departed life at her home in Rensselaer, Ind., Dec. 11, 1915, at the age of 64 years, 7 months and 16 days, after a lingering illness of a complication of diseases. She united with the Methodist church in Gillam • township when a young girl 18 years of age- She was, on Jan. 2, 1875, united in marriage to Jerome Casto. To this union 7 children were born. At the time of her death she left to mourn their loss 5 children, 14 grandchildren and one sister,. Mrs. Henry Summers, of Florida. The children are, Dennis, of Rensselaer; Mrs. Owen Williams, of- Brook, and Martha, Charles A. and General B. H., of Rensselaer, the latter three with whom she was making her home when the death angel came. In the year 1900 her husband died, leaving the widow with four children, Wm. Harvey being the oldest at home, who remained at home, trying to comfort her in keeping a home and keeping the children together. This he did without a murmer until bn Aug. 5, 1914, he became in such poor health* that he had to he taken from home and on Aug. 26,1915, was laid to rest beside his father and infant sister. Harvey some six years ago, thinking he might not always be able to take care of his mother, joined the Modern Woodmen of America, leaving at the time of his death $2,000 to her, with which she could have had a home and been comfortable her remaining days, but was called to a higher home where there will be no sorrow or pain to a house not built with hands. Mrs. Casto was a loving mother, a kind friend and a good neighbor. Her death is a . sad blow to the loved ones who are left. Her departure will leave a vacant place which will be very hard to fill. The cheerful voice is silent, tne helping hand is at rest forever.

Titanic Claims To Be Paid By Steamship Owners.

The White Star line, owners of the Titanic, have agreed to pay >664,000 if this sum will satisfy all claimants for damages in the great ship disaster. Of this sum practically >500,000 would be distributed among American claimants, >50,000 to British claimants, and the remaining >114,000 for interest and expenses in connection with the numerous suite. The total claims amounted to 2,500,000, but 44 of the 60 attorneys representing claims, have signified their intention of accepting the proffer of the company. This would give each claimant about 20 per cent of the amount they had begun suit for.
