HER IDEA VERY MUCH WRONG

Hired Girl Made Trouble by Sticking to the Precept, “Better Late Than Never.” Commander John G. Towers, who to In charge of the uavy’a transatlantic flight plans, said at a New York banquet : “The better late than never method doesn't go'ta aviation any better than it went in the Jones case “Jones was a drummer and his wife during one of his trips gave birth to a son afid seemed in a pfetty bad way in consequence, so a telegram to that effect was given to the yired girl for dispatch to Jones, but the girl put it in her apron pocket and forgdt all about it “Well, by luck, the next day Jones i came home. His wife was then much better. He saw his son and departed again well pleased. “A couple of weeks passed when the hired girl found the forgotten telegram In her pocket and in a panic sent it off to Jones, saying nothing to anybody about her reinissness. Arid that is how It came'about that .Times was horrified at dinner at his hotel that evening <o get a wire which said: “ ‘Another addition, a son ; yonr wife very ill; return at once.' “ ‘Another?’ poor Jones groaned. ‘lmpossible!' Then he added. ‘What a terrible thing! Her condition must Indeed be very grave.’. “He took the express and, got home the next morning in a state of frenzy. The hired girl confessed all. “ ‘I thought it was better to send the telegram late than never, Mr. Jones,’ she said.”

ASIA GREAT DANGER POINT

Is Today, and Has Been for All Time, the Home of Plague and Pestilence. Asia is the home of plague and many other pests. The facilities for travel have brought Asia and our Pacific coast together, while the possession of the Philippines has multiplied the occasions for intercourse with the far east. Thus, says the Journal of the American Medical Association, the diseases of Asia threaten the lives and health of the American population, and the situation has been aggravated by the conditions of war. With the unvarying persistence of bubonic plague in Asia, It seems timely to lay further stress on these points. The obstacles in the way of successfully grappling with the plague problem in Asia are almost insurmountable. The natives object to wholesale inoculation and rat destruction; hence the only effective mode of procedure is most difficult to carry out. Religious scruples against the slaughter of aulmlals, even vermin, are prevalent throughout India. Consequently it may be taken for granted that plague will continue to persist in Asia, and as It is extremely rife In the two great ports of that continent, Hong Kong and Bombay, it to not an impossibility that it will be conveyed thence to American ports on the Pacific coast. While there Is no doubt that our health authorities are awake td the danger, it Is well to know that the danger exists in Asia.

History Repeats Itself.

A charming little incident has taken place in Doctor Johnson’s house, Gough square. A party of soldiers visited the Mecca and they got a colored member of the party to read aloud from the famous dictionary. He did so In excellent style. An inquiry revealed the fact that he was a native of Jamaica. All lovers of Johnson will remember It was Francis Barber of Jamaica who was the doctor’s faithful servant, to whom he left a handsome bequest. And Barber once went to sea. The coincidence of a Jamaican sailor reading aloud the dictionary In the old house was certainly curious.—London Dally Chronicle. 5

"Golden Bell," Famous Irish Relic.

Curio collectors had an opportunity of obtaining a famous Irish relic at auction recently, at London, England. This is the “golden bell” which, according to tradition, descended from heaven and was used for obtaining information when all other means failed. On one occasion a pair of saddlebags with $1,700 was stolen, and a* all inquiries Were useless the priest stated he would swear all his flock oa the bell on Sunday. On the Saturday night a man came and said: “Father, there is no occasion for the golden bell—here is the money, every bit of It, all safe and sound.”

Literary Rocks.

Theodore Dreiser is a novelist eC repute, but his novels are apt to be very long—7oo or 800 pages in fact “There are sermons in stones,** Mr. Dreiser said at a Greenwich village tea, whereupon a young lady sculptor interrupted him: “•Yes. that is very true,’ she said, hut you ought to remember that the precious stones are all small, and that they require a lot of cutting.* **

THE NEIGHBORHOOD CORNER

A DEPARTMENT OF FARM WELFARE CONDUCTED BY COUNTY AGENT LEAMING. To Control "Take All”. _ Professor C. C. Woodbury, director of the State Experiment station has issued the following recommendations for the control of “Take All.” "Fields which are heavily or generally infected should be plowed up at once and to corn or soy beans.” “Where the disease is restricted to a few small spots in the field these should be cut over a week or ten days before harvest with a scythe and after the cut wheat is dry burn over the area if this can be done without danger to the standing grain. Otherwise the infested areas and the wheat for a rod or more surrounding should be left uncut at harvest and burned over as soon as possible afterward. . -Do not allow stock in the field until this is done.” “Since the straw from infected fields is a good carrier of the disease, such straw should not be spread or allowed to reach the manure heap.” | “The grain from infected fields should not be used for seed nor so disposed of that it may become mixed with other wheat for seed purposes.” “All fields having the disease should be put into grass, alfalfa or other legumen as soon as possible and left for about four years.” “Do not plant wheat, rye, barley or oats upon infected soil. Corn, alfalfa, clover, soy beans and pasture grass can probably be grown.” “It will aid greatly in combatting this disease if you will report any suspected occurance in your locality. We will endeavor to sepd men to localities where the disease is reported and any cooperation which may be able to furnish them will greatly aid in this work.” South Marion Community Program. The South Marion Farmers’ club will hold its regular May meeting at the Consolidated school building Thursday evening, May 29th. The program committee has arranged a fine program which will include, among other numbers, addresses by Mr. L. S. Roberston of Purdue, and Moses Leopold, president of the County Betterment association. This is the first meeting of the club this season and a special invitation is extended for all to attend. Milroy Country Club To Meet. The Milroy Country Club will hold its regular meeting in the Milroy church Saturday evening, May 31. Officers of the County 'Betterment association and a representative from Purdue university will be present and speak. The meeting is open to everydhe. Self Feeder Proves Profitable. “I find more farmers are using the combination of corn, tankage and pasture this season for feeding their hogs than ever before,” is the report of E. P. Lane, chairman of the County Livestock committee after making an investigation of the matter. “It takes lots of nerve to put this high priced corn into the hogs and anything that will cheapen the ration is bound to be sought by one hog grower, and so far nothing has been found to beat this combination for this locality where clover pastures are scarce.” ‘ Go After The Rate, May 27th. - At a cost of 25 cents per rat, a Newton township farmer is ridding his farm of these pests. * He pays his 12 year old son this sum for every rat destroyed, and the boy, with traps and rifle, has bagged over 60,rodents this season. . May 27th has been proclaimed “Rat Day” by Governor Goodrich, who urges all citizens to destroy all rats and mice, clean up their breeding places and make all buildings rat proof. - . . i Rat Day should be observed generally in this country. A day spent by each farmer in energetic war against rats will do much to rid the county of this nuisance. List of Registered Sires Compiled. The Breeders’ association has recently compiled a list of pure bred sires of the county which are for sale or exchange. This list includes ammals of practically every breed and was compiled for the purpose of making the purchase of good animals easier. Copies of the list can be secured from the secretary, Russel Van Hook, Rensselaer, or the county agent. More Pure Bred Hogs. George Foulks and son, of Milroy township, have purchased registered Spotted Poland China sows from Mrs. Jennie Corfrad to establish a herd of these hogs on their farm. While blooded livestock has been a little slow in getting a start in Milroy township, several herds Of the Spotted Poland Chinas have come m recently and more herds will follow. At’present there is not a township fn the county that does not have breeders of pure bred livestock.
