In the making of a schedule for Indiana farmers’ institutes this year Cloverdale was left out and W. K. Gill, president of the Cloverdale institute, is now in communication with Prof. Latta, of Purdue University, trying to make a date for the local meeting. It has been an oversight Mr. Gill believes, that •Cloverdale was not given a date when the schedule was made to have the Cloverale institute held a day after the Roachdale meeting. The Roachdale Ladies’ Economics Club and all other Roachdale people who are interested in institutes met in the library at that town last Saturday to assist in making their program. The date for their institute has not yet been announced. Mr. Gill attended the institute at Greencastle Wednesday and tried to arrange for Mrs. Charles W. Sewell, who was a prominent speaker, to appear here.—

SAFETY AT SEA.

Facts That Justify the Sailor Who liaid: “Cod Help the Poor Folks Ashore.” Last year a thousand ships or more were lost; the year before the sea took nearly the same toll. To the tourist his assurance of safety lies in the fact that it is the sailing v. sel. with its dependence on the fickle wind, that largely makes up the tremendous loss. Freighting steamers, voyaging on unfamiliar rousts, nearly complete the disaster roll; but to the great liners, with their familiar routes, well known lanes of travel, their guarded and well lighted tiarbors. and all their appliances for safety, the manifold dangers of the ocean are only the remote possibilities that give a touch of adventure to their passage from land to land. According to a writer In the Century, the probabilities of disaster are trifling. Every morning brings us some story of death or accident on land, while the great passenger ships come and go la monotonous regularity, bringing no reports more stirring than those of high seas that have kept them from making new records. With the present madness for speed and its attendant recklessness, our streets demand constant alertness If you would cross them with safety. Speed at sea has come through larger and more stoutly constructed ships So the familiar old story of the sallorman at sea In a storm who. serene in his consciousness of ample sea room, piously ejaculated: “God help the poor folks ashore to-night!” is not wholly fantastic. FRIEflD VS. ACQUAINTANCE. Consider Judiciously What Friendship Means to You. It Is a great thing to be able to know the diffepmie between friends and acquaintances. Those who help you develop the better side of your life, who would have you love your family and be honorable in all your relations with your fellow men are the only friends worth having. Avoid the man who would have you do wrong, because he will betray you when it serves his purpose. Consider judiciously what the friendship means to you, of those whom you have been calling friends, determine definitely whether or not they can be depended upon under all circumstances. Remember you will have no trouble in finding plenty of men and women who will do favors for you if you are in a position to grant special privileges, hut this class of “so-called friends’ will fall away when they find they cannot use you, or when your position in life has so changed that you cannot do something for them. Look sharp in picking your friends and acquaintances; see to It that the fundamentals of loyalty, honesty and integrity are deeply grounded in the character of those In whom you place your faith.—Common

EAGLES OF SHETLAND. Sn Annoying That Gulls Were Encouraged to Fight Them. In Eoula, one of the Shetland Islands, the natives make a business of rearing skau gulls in order to rid the trland of eagles that congregate there and commit many depredations The magnificent red sandstone cliffs that kirt the northwestern coast became a favorite haunt of the eagles, and In this Inaccessible spot they increased o rapidly that t'.i> y became a terror to the farmers and fishermen who dwell on this isolated spot. The skau • nils are also strong and fierce and the Inveterate foes of the eagle. In battle the gulls are nearly always victorious, and so the Inhabitants of t’oula hit upon the novel plan of feed ng and caring for the skau gulls, vhich, though formidable to their 'eatherod enemies, are very peaceful ml docile when brought in contact < ith man. SPREAD OF DRUG HABIT. A New York Law That Is Burdensome to Hospitals. The Bovlan law in New York requlres that anybody with drugs In 'iis possession shall be arrested and •akeii before a police magistrate. If he Is found to be a drug victim he must he sent to one of the city's hospitals for treatment. Inasmuch as there have been nearly 1 non such patients since July 1, Including many users of drugs who have voluntarily gone before th • magistrates and begged for a chance to be cured. It Is ibvloualy unjust to regular hospital patients to crowd these Institutionp with “dope fiends." The Hoylau law has already dig eloped n disquieting number of drug cases, which lays upon the city a new and grave responsibility. The hospitals should not bear the whole burden.

•> LEGISLATIVE GOSSIP. * By Lew Ellingham. •> •:• •> v •:• •> •> •> •> <• •> •;• •:• •;• •:• <• •> •> •;• o ♦ INDIANAPOLIS, Ind„ Feb. 6.— Here is a story of Democratic official efficiency, that was never told before. One of the very important departments in the State House, and one about which the general public has but scant knowledge, is the office of the Reporter of the Supreme and Appellate Courts. All lawyers are, of course familiar with the general purpose which that office serves, and yet many of that profession do not realize the magnitude of the work connected with the publication of the court reports. Generally speaking, it is the duty of the Reporter’s Office to receive the opinions of the Supreme and Appellate Courts which are handed down in typewritten manuscript, and see to their printing and publication in the sheep-hound volumes commonly seen in any of the more pretentious law offices of the state. ilowevef, this general statement involves a vast amount of detail work, such as the verification of all authorities cited by the court and the insertion of parallel citations, the preparation of the syllabi or headnotes to each case reported, the table of cases reported, the table of cases and text-books cited, the index, the leading and correction of the printer’s proof, and many other things that only those familiar with the processes of hook publication can appreciate. Now that the reader has some idea of the nature of the reportr’s duties, it will perhaps he interesting to know something of the work accomplished by the present Incumbent >f that office, from the standpoint of its efficiency and value to the public. On January 13, 1913, when the present reporter took office, viie manuscript for Vol. 176 of the Supreme Court Reports, and a portion of- that of the 49 Appellate, had been prepared for the printer. This means that the office of was behind the courts. The uiished volume 176 was delivered on June 27, 1913, and the last opinion reported in it was handed down November 1, 1911, and Hie last opinion in the 48 Appellate, which was delivered on February 5, 1913, was handed down November 24, 1911. During the year 1912, there had been completed and delivered two volumns of Supreme and one of Appellate Court reports. From January 13, 1913, to tne present, Mr. Zoereher has to his credit ten volumes—four Supreme and six Appellate—actually delivered, one volume ready for the bindery and that will be lelivered in a few days, and one volume now almost wholly in type. This ■omparison in a way shows the vatue of the public service being rendered ny the present reporter of the suireme and appellate courts. It is a .’alue great not only to lawyers, but o everybody. The pubF may know 'hut it is getting full value for every •ent that the Reporter’s office is cost ing. In this connection it is important to note that the wont credited to ♦he present reporter has been accom■dished at a saving of several hunIred dollars through the reduction of the number of employes in the office luring a portion of the time. The foregoing statement shows the .’olume of the work accomplished during the la.-t two years. Now as to the irogress that has been made in reducing the distance between the work of hat office and that of the courts. The last case in volume 5, r ) of the Appellate Reports, which is now practically ■li in type, was decided in April, 1914 vhile Vol. 181 of the Supreme Court, which is to he delivered in a few days, •ompletes the cases decided hy that •ourt to and including May 22, 1914. All this gain has been accomplished notwithstanding the courts have inrease.' the volume of their work. As ■llustrative of this incrcr.se, it is pointed out that during 1914 the Suoreme Court disposed of 385 cases as ■gainst a total of 266 disposed of hy the same court in 1910. Aside from the great volume of work accomplished hy this office, the mhlic is to be congratulated that Indiana now has the best system of state reports published, both from the ttandpoint of workmanship and utility. All cases now reported, in addition to exhaustive and reliable syllabi, are thoroughly annotated, thus opening to the lawyer the avenue to all thi" American and Englisn law upon -•very point in the case. This is a feature that should appeal to every lawyer. With the presen: nigh standard of the reports and the rapidity with which they are being published, the lawyer who prides himself on citing cases that may he absolutely relied upon will most assuredly equip himself with the official state reports. Mr. Zoereher during his incumbency has certainly merited, and for that matter he has the commendation and praises of the wide-awake lawyer of every political affiliation. Such is the history of democratic efficiency under the official and guiding hand of Hon. F’hillip Zoereher, Reporter of the Supreme and Appellate Courts of Indiana. We take our hat off to you.
