GOVERNMENT OPENS WAR ON CORN BORER

The enormous value? of corn, the premier corn crop of the nation, has made, it necessary for the government to take all possible precaution to prevent further infestation from the European “corn borer” which is supposed to have entered the country in shipments of broom corn and has obtained a limited foothold in the eastern part of the country. Large sums are being spent in an effort to control it and a ruling soon is expected from the Federal Horticultural board- as to whether a quarantine shall be imposed against all foreign countries to prevent further entrance of stalks and ears of Indian corn, broom corn or other plants that may bring the borers. It would not apply to shelled corn or to threshed seeds of the other plants. « Majorie* Loughridge went to Lafayette this forenoon.

IT LOOKS LIKE TWO OHIO MEN

Chicago, Jape 14.—Republican leaders today began to plan then' presidential campaign on the assumption that William G. AcAdoo would be nominated by the democrats at their p national convention inSan Francisco June 23. Prominent democrats; .here enroute to the coast declared , the situation in their party had not srystalized sufficiently to permit even a guess as to the probable nominee. Attitude of republicans in 'picking the nominee for the democrats illustrated in the speech of Charles S. Wheeler, San Francisco attorney, who nominated Senator Hiram- Johnspn last week. He bitterly attacked the democratic administration ahd asked if the Republican party by refusing to nominate a “surerwinner” wished to. continue the “Wilson, dynasty” by placing .“the crown pnnce” m the white house. L • , _ .McAdoo, who has refused t« peropen campaign in his behalf, arrived here last night from; active participation in the councils of his party, is expecting to spend the period of the democratic convention in New Ybrk City. Republicans have even-gone so far as to, assume that James M. Cox, of Ohio,, would be the democratic choice for vice president. » Cox, however/ is McAdoos most formidable rival for the presidential nomination. He has more instructed delegates and is known to have the backing of powerful party leaders. ' Other names.! prominently mentioned in connection with the democratic nomination were Vice President Marshall, Attorney General A. Mitchell Palmer,' Governor Edwards of New Jersey,'Secretary of Agriculture E. T. Meredith, Senator Gilbert M. Hitchcock, of Neb., Homer S. Cummings and Secretary of War Newton D. Baker. Mr. and Mrt?

BRYAN'S COMMENT OF REPUBLICAN NOMINEE

Perhaps the reader will find interesting conclusions concerning the republican national convention. He says: “The candidates are men of ability and will prove acceptable to a large majority of the party. Senator Harding, while entirely pleasing to big business, cannot be attacked as successfully as Governor Lowden might have been. The campaign expense scandal did not involve him to anything like the extent that it did General Wood and Governor Lowden. He will make a stronger candidate than either the governor of Illinois or the soldier aspirant. “As a campaign orator Senator Harding will be a great asset to his party. He, brings to the party the best equipment in this respect of any candidate in recent years. He has a fine presence, a genial manner and a wife who will grace the white house if her husband reaches that goal. » , / “Governor Coolidge will strengthen the ticket in the east. Onio, while considered so western by those' on the Atlantic coast that they could not think of going to Kansas or Wisconsin for the second man. Governor Coolidge' became famous in the policemen's strike, and has added to his popularity in the west by vetoing a bill authorizing beverages containing a higher alcoholic content than the federal law permits. The governor's veto message was published only a few days before the supreme court decision, which wquld nave invalidated the law had it been Signed. “The platform and the nominees of the republican convention are a challenge to the democrats to do their best. They present a .clearcut issue. If the democrats accept it as boldly as the republicans have .presented it, the people will be able to vote with intelligence and choose their policies as they choose their president."' /.■> *

WABASH COUNTY FARMERS DISCOVER VEINS OF OIL

Farmers near. Wabash, Ind., are in the throes of fn oil boom, equal tn any which ever struck the Southern oil producing states. Oil was first discovered in paying pools a month ago at the Jap Wilson farm and since then ten wells have been drilled. Today these wells are producing 2,000 barrels a day. Officials of. the Standard Oil Company will go there some time this week to contract for the entire supply, which wiH be piped to the pumping station in the northern part of the county,; and then on to the company’s refineries in New Jersey. A Pennsylvania Oil company has contracted to drill thirty wells on tiie J. C. Henry farm at the edge of the Wabash-Grant county line, and paid 156,000 for the lease on the land last week. > Work on the first of the thirty wells to expected to be started Monday afternoon.

REMINGTON DRIER THAN USUAL THESE DAYS

The town has been “bone dry” a good deal of the time this week, and on short rations the rest of the time, owing to repairs 'being made one the large welt The smaller wells are being used but do not furnish sufficient water to allow of any waste, and a sufficient amount must be kept in the tank for fire protection. The casing of the large well needed replacing and in removing the same a large section of it was lost in the well, as was also the cylinder and Tower valve. After two days* fishing, and with the aid ofMr. Rogers, of Wolcott, and his “fish rods’ .the lost portions were recovered. An Indianapolis expert declared it would be absolutely impossible to remove these portions, but expert, though he may have been, there are others who know their business even better, perhaps, and the tenacity of our people made the seemingly impossible task a possible one. - - No new casing of the right size could be secured in Chicago or Lafayette, and iFred Parker was sent to Indianapolis for it, arriving homo on Wednesday afternoon. The now casing will likely be placed in the Well today. In .the meantime, people are requested to go light on the water, using as little as possible, in order to keep up the supply. J A new well will be drilled, we understand, in the near future, which will relieve the situation somewhat.—Remington Pres.
