FOES OF DAYLIGHT SAVING ARE DEFEATED.

Washington, July 14.—Repeal of the daylight saving law became a dead issue for the present, at least, by the failure of the house today to pass the agricultural appropriation bill over President Wilson’s veto. 'The vote was 247 to 135, proponents of repeal mustering tiwentythree votes less than the required two-thirds majority. The agricultural bill will 'be passed with the repeal rider eliminated and it was said no effort would be made to pass the repeal measure as a separte bill, as it undoubtedly would be vetoed by the president.. Under the now defeated rider the law would have been repealed on October 26.

USE OF NARCOTICS IS INCREASING IN COUNTRY.

Nation-wide use of narcotic drugs for other than 'legitimate medical purposes steadily increases despite vigorous efforts in the last four years in ithe enforcement of the federal law, was discovered. by the treasury’s special investigating committee which submitted a final report recently. The number of drug addicts in the United States was estimated to be in excess of 1,000,000. The committee found that imports of opium into the United States have slightly increased.

INVESTIGATIONS OF WORK SCHOOL CONDITIONS START

Following the announcement the columns of the Republican of the conditions existing at the Julia A. Work home for orphans at Plymouth, Ind., as found and ported by Sheriff Woodworth and Charles M. Sands, county commissioners in the various counties of the state are starting investigations to acquaint themselves with the conditions of the school with the idea of withdrawing from the school the children sent from their counties. The sensational charges of the Jasper county officials, of a character almost indescribable for oheir horribleness, has arouse many counties to action and it is probable that within a short time there will be an investigation by the state, and if conditions at the home are not found to be all that they should be, the officials of the home will doubtless find themselves in an extremely embarrassing condition when called upon to explain. 'Lake county commissioners will meet in the near future to investigate the exposure as made by the local authorities and statements made by J. M. Ward, of Hammond, who recently removed his grandson from the institution with the remark that “guardians of children there ought to be warned of the treatment given the unfortunate boys.”

FARMERS’ ARGUMENTS AGAINST DAYLIGHT SAVING.

Thie following fifteen arguments against the daylight saving law are offered by farmers: . Farmers wlaste time instead of saving. Lose one hour in morning on account of dew. Hired help wants to quit at 6 o’clock. Forced to carry new and old time. Teams and men must work in the hottest part of the day. •Can’t change habits of farm animals—come up at usual time. Entertainments scheduled on new time are too early for farmer’s family. School children have to start one hour earlier. Stores and shops in country towns dose too early for farmer. Small town merchant must work extra hour. Must start one hour earlier to catch trains. s Cows must be milked one hour earlier z where milk is shipped. Chickens won’t go to roost until usuad time. Increases conveniences and efficiency of city folks at the farmer’s expense.

BIG REDUCTION SHOWN IN COAL PRODUCTION.

The Indiana Bituminous Coal Operators’ association announces that during the first six months of the present year the amount of coal mined in Indiana has been less by more than five million tons than the •tonnage of the first six months of 1918. The production during the first six months of this year was a little less than nine million tons.

At present prices there are grounds for complaint in every cof-fee-cup.—Philadelphia Ledger. ( ; y y Mrs. Isasc Leopold returned Monday from a visit at Frankfort and Indianapolis.

TWO MORE FARMS CHANGED HANDS MONDAY.

The sale of two more fine Jasper county farms were recorded Monday, swelling the already long list of farm lands which have changed hands within the past two or three weeks. The farms sold Monday were those of Barney Kohloff and Emerson Matheny. The deals' were closed by Harry Swartzell. * Mr. Kohloff disposed of his hundred acre farm two and one-half miles northwest of town to Frank Alters and Edgar D. Nesbitt, who paid $225 per acre for the same. The . Matheny farm of eighty acres went to Eugene Lang, of this city, and brought SIB,BOO, or $235 per acre. It is located two and onehalf miles northeast of town. Four other farms in the vicinity of the Matheny farm have been sold this spring. Possession in both cases will be given March 1. The Owen farm, formerly the Mike Kuboske farm, was again sold today, the purchaser being W- Selby, of near Mt. Ayr. This farm was sold at an advance over the price received by Mr. Owen.

MOST ALL YANKEES HOME BY AUGUST 15.

New York, July 14.—A1l American troops except 20,000 in the service of supplies and 8,000 in the army of occupation will be home by August 15, according to Maj. Gen. David Shanks, comtmander of the port of embarkation. General Shanks made the above statement this afternoon in a conference with newspaper men. He had called them to has office to make a statement about the transportation of officers in the steerage of transports. He said: “There are 32,000 officers and welfare workers awaiting transportation at Brest now. If first-class accommodations were provided for all some would have to wait three months more in France. It would cost the government over a million dollars extra in salaries alone."

MANY FARMERS ARE NOW CUTTING OATS.

Wheat cutting and threshing has been temporarily discontinued by many farmers and they are now {busy cutting oats. The weather has not been favorable for a heavy [crop of oats and it is possible that [the yield will be very light. I While unfavorable for oate, the wether has ‘been ideal for corn and rtfliat crop is very (promising indeed. The intense heat and continued drouth threatened to damage the com, but the rains of the last few days, with continued prospect for more, have been very beneficial. Much of the wheat and rye still in the fields is in a very bad condition should the rains become excessive. The wind a few days ago laid many of the shocks flat and with the press of work the farmers have not been able to reshoek these grains.

FARMS STILL CONTINUE TO CHANGE HANDS.

Farms are changing hands almost daily and it is almost impossible to secure all the deals for publication.* The William C. Faylor farm of 159 acres on the Jackson highway in Union township has been sold to Gust Johnson, of Newton township. Mr. Johnson will not move on the farm, but will put his nephew, Thorston Otterburg, in charge. Mr. Faylor will probably buy property in Rensselaer and move here. Mrs. Dan Coleman has disposed of her 40 acre farm near Julian to Jack Ulyat for SB,OOO. . Fred Linback, who recently sold his farm to Dr. A. G. Catt, has purchased the Jake Rapp 240 acre farm east of Rensselaer at $135 per acre. It is considered a great bargain at the price, k ' , - A Mr. Morrison, of Pontiac, 111., has bought the Erhardt Wuerthner 87 acres near Surrey at $2lO an acre. Mr. Miller, west of Surrey, has sold his 160 acres, with good imI .provements, to Rowles & Parker for SBS per acre. | The Matheny farm, north of town, has been sold for $235 per acre. It contains 80 acres. [ Frank Alter and E. D. Nesbitt have bought the Barney Kolhoff 100 I acre, farm north of town for $225 'per acre.

COALS FROM FREIGHT TRAIN CAUSE OF PENNSY WRECK.

I Goodland, Ind., July 14.—The i early Pennsylvania eastbound passenger train was wrecked and its coaches burned at 7 o’clock Monr day morning when the front end of the smoking car went through 'the bridge near Perkins’ Switch and | caught fire and set fire to the baggage car in front and to the passenger car back of it. The injured were: John W: M. Newpher, engineer, of Logansport, limbs severely scalded; A. J. Cayborn, fireman, of Logansport, face badly cut and neck injured; R. M. Mikels, expressman, of Effner, left •hip broken; John Custer, baggageman, of Logansport, left arm broken ; John Walllace, mail clerk, of Ridgeway, 111., jnght wrist broken, left elboiw cut aW bruised and head cut. Miss Helen O’Neal, of-Kentland, who was the only passenger in the passenger coach received a cut under the right eye and a bruised right shoulder. Mr. Dean, of Sheldon, who was riding in the smoker, was mot injured. The train had left Kentland on time and had not stopped at Perkins’ Switch, a half mite west of the wreck, and as the train neared this bridge there is a downgrade and the engineer did not see the danger until almost upon it. He put on all brakes and did everything possible to stop the train, which was traveling about forty-five miles per hour when the accident happened. Bridge Burned. The small trestle was set afire by a hot coal from the fire pan of an extra westbound freight that passed about 9 o’clock Sunday night and returned Monday morning about 3 o’clock. The fire was noticed by farmers about half a mile away during the night, but it was thought to be a bunch of burning ties. The engine was derailed at the bridge and went about one ear length before toppling over into the ditch on the south side of the track. The baggage car remained on the roadbed, but the front of the smoker went through the bridge and the front end.caught fire from the burning trestle which soon spread to the other coaches and in a short time they were a mass of flames. It happened in a bad place, ’halfway between section roads and help could not arrive in time to do any good. The rear coach was uncoupled and had there been enough men present to have pushed the car back up the small! incline the rear coach might have been saved. All of the mail and express were burned. The westbound train detoured via C. & E. I. to Morocco and C. I. & S. to Kentland and then to Effner. The wrecking crew came out from Logansport and by evening the wreck was cleared from the track.
