ANY ONE WITH BRAINS

enough to have a headache, can figure out why the Franklin car makes the best conveyance and the most impressive piece of furniture he can keep. If brains were the only credential, our job would be soft, but over three thousand iron dough boys must “come along.” When you see a man, or his family in a Franklin you know he IS somebody in particular. You know he knows how to make money and how to spend it. Men used to big business, like H. R. Kurrie, president of our railroad, know what they are getting for every dollar expended. When a man with Mr. Kurrie’s experience says there is no car comparable to the fSranklin, and backs it up by buying one, doesn’t that mean something? I’ll say, you’ll say it does. THOMPSON & KIRK.

ALL HARMONY AT CONVENTION

WOOD, 18; JOHNSON, 8, IS PROBABLE DELEGATE VOTE IN INDIANA. Indianapolis, May 12.—Twentysix delegates to the national convention were elected tonight at the thirteen district meetings of the Republican state convention. It was believed when the balloting began that Senator Johnson would get 8 and Gen. Wood 18. The four delegates at large, in accordance with the plurality given Wood in the primary, will go to him. Harmony was the theme of the speeches delivered at the opening session today. .... That the party leaders in Indiana had reached an agreement, and the forces of United States Senator James E. Watson had buried the hatchet, became apparent early in .the day when it was announced that E. M. Wasmuth had been unanimously re-elected state chairman. It was also proclaimed later in the convention, when i t was announced that Indiana s the delegates at large, would abide by the vote of the people and support Gen. Wood, he having receded a plurality in the recent presidential preference primary for the presidency. w* Indosement by both Senator Watson, temporary chairman, and Senator Harry S. New, permanent chairman, of the administration of Governor Jas. S. Goodrich, was another step in the “harmony’ movement, and a further stride in the get-together plan came near the close of the session when former Senator Albert J.. Beveridge was called upon to address the delegates. Several of the districts contained woman delegates and many women were seated in the galleries and on the stage. This new element in politics was represented on the program by Mrs. John Glover South of Frankfort, Ky., chairman of the Women’s National Republican executive committee. Senator New, speaking as permanent chairman, charged that when “President Wilson turns the government over to his Republican successor in March' of next year he will hand to him a legacy of public debt of $30,000,000,000 or more. He said it cost as much to pay the interest on this total as it.did to run the government before the war.

JASPER COUNTY AGRICULTURE NEWS

Community Club Meeting. The community club meeting and banquet held in Tefft last Friday evening was a decided success. Mr. Martin Hohner was re-elected chairman. The county agent attended the commencement exercises at De Motte that evening and was not able to be with them as was desired. Mr. Hohner reports that they had an excellent time and the crowd was the largest that they ever had. They will hold one or two special meetings this sunftner. The programs for these meetings will be made out later on. Alfalfa Stands. The alfalfa that was sown this spring with oats is growing nicely. County Agent Mawhorter has visited several young alfalfa fields over the county and find that the stands are good. In all cases the ground was well prepared and limed. With a good season there is no reason why the alfalfa will not mature into a large crop. Alfalfa is rather a new crop here in Jasper county and it will take time and experience to learn how to grow it successfully. The main drawback here is that it is easily smothered out and when once that is overcome Alfalfa will have a permanent place in agriculture in Jasper county. Poultry Association Mooting. The poultry association will hold a meeting in the county agent’s office Thursday evening. They are a wide awake association and are going to back up the poultry club this year in the effort of making it excel last year’s club. Many of the members are poultry specialists and fanciers and are making good. Their flocks are well bred up and show that there has been a great deal of care and attention taken with them. Roaring Chickens With Hens. Sitting hens should be confined to slightly darkened nests at hatching time and not disturbed unless they step on or pick -their chickens when hatching, in which case the chickens should be removed as soon as dry, in a basket lined with flannel or some other warm material, and kept near a fire until all the eggs are hatched; or the eggs may be removed and placed under a quieter hen whose eggs are hatching at the same time. Feeding Young Chickens. Young chickens Should be fed from three to five times daily, deJ tending upon one’s experience in eeding, says the United States Department of Agriculture. Undoubtedly chickens can be grown faster by feeding five times daily than by feeding three times daily, but it should be borne in mind that more harm can be done to the young chickens by overfeeding than by underfeeding, and at no time should they be fed more than barely to satisfy their appetites and to keep them exercising, except at the evening meal, when they should be given all they will eat. Great care must be exercised not to overfeed young chicks that are confined, as leg weakness is apt to result. Clean Up Stable Fly. Have you ever tried to sleep on a hot summer night when just one mosquito had crept through the window screen? Imagine your state of mind if that single mosquito were multiplied by 100 and you had your hands tied! That sensation, according to the Bureau of Entomology, United State Department of Agriculture, is something comparable with what a horse, mule, or cow endures when the stable fly is present in great numbers. The stable fly greatly resembles the ordinary house fly but for the lance with which he is armed. It is known that he carries disease from infected animals to healthy ones, and there is some ground for belief that the insect aids the spread of spinal meningitis among human beings. _ , .. . The eggs of the fly are laid in loose, warm straw heaps and piles of stable refuse. A plague of flies always starts from these sources, and the control of the pest is best managed by scattering the straw early in the spring before the beginning of warm weather and plowing it under, or by burning it when the former method can not be applied. , • Stable refuse should be scattered at regular intervals of one week ot’less throughout the season, starting with early spring. In this way the first generation of the pest is desroyed and a plague averted. A recent publication of the department, Farmer’s Bulletin 1097, gives in detail the life history of the stable fly, methods for its control, and some facts concerning the amount of damage done by the insect.
