GREENFIELD REPUBLICAN

PUBLISHED EVERY THURSDAY.

tetered at the post office, Greenfield, Ind., as •eoood class matter.

NEWTON R. SPENCER, Editor and Proprietor.

The dry weather threatens to produce conditions favorable to fires. It becomes necessary, therefore, for everybody to exercise extra caution to prevent fire. Already fires are breaking out along railroads. Some meadows and w7heat fields have been damaged in the county.

Danger in Fire Works.

It may be useless to caution celebrators against the danger of fire works. Many persons who today are alive and sound will be otherwise before another sun rises. Notwithstanding the efforts in favor of a sane Fourth, many persons will pay an expensive price for celebrating. There is not as much sympathy expressed for a person injured in celebrating, as there is for persons injured in necessary work. Though people should be careful and not expose themselves to injury in celebrating, they should by no means expose other persons to injury from their celebrating.

Officers, while permitting the use of fire works in a sane way, should keep a close line on all that is being done in that way, and should promptly suppress any effort to disturb or injure other persons not engaged in celebrating. Rude boys, who think it is smart to frighten ladies and small children with giant fire crackers, should be run in on the first offense.

Some boys being permitted to shoot crackers assume that they are turned loose to disturb the peace, assault persons promiscuously, and destroy property. This is the class of celebrators that the officers may well keep an eye on.

A Temperance Man.

A gentleman took the pledge, but somehow his abstinance from the moderate quantity of wine he was accustomed to drink did not agree with him. His doctor was sent for, and he recommended a slight alcoholic stimulant. The advice was received with horror. "How can I," .said the sick man, "violate my vow? And I've forbidden my servants the beer they love so well, and I'm going to preside at a blue ribbon next week." "All I can say," said the doctor, "is that a stimulant is necessary for your health. You had better get a bottle of whisky and hide it away, and when your shaving water comes up just mix up a tumbler of whisky and water."

The doctor departed, and meeting the patient's servant a week afterward, asked him how his master was getting on. "Oh, very well as to bodily health," was the reply, "but, between you and me, sir, I think he has gone wrong in his head. He has taken to shaving himself about nine times a day."

Court Reporter Charles -Walker and wife left today for Blue River township, where they will visit Mrs. Walker's parents, Mr. and Mrs. C. E. Gray. They will be away from their home in this city most of the time until court convenes in September.

Misses Edith and Jennie Liter, of Pierceton, Ind., on their way home from Kansas City, stopped off and visited Mr. and Mrs. Robert Murphy. Mrs. Murphy is their aunt.

Miss Lucile Braddock, of Chicago, who has been the guest of J. L. Smith and family for several days, is now visiting relatives near Willow Branch.

W. S. King and family, Alva Wood and family and O. B. Crider and family were picnicking and fishing on Blue River Tuesday.

Benton L. Barrett, of the Barrett Elevator Company, says that all the new wheat he has purchased so far grades as No. 2.

Charles Smith and wife attended the races at Wilkinson and also the celebration at Knightstown on the Fourth.

Mrs. John Wiggins and children, of Indianapolis, are spending a few days here with her mother, Mrs. Mary A. Andrick.

Mr. and Mrs. Horace Wilson were at Fortville Tuesday the guests of the latter's father, Patrick Tobin.

John Tyner, east of the city, reports some loss to his buildings from the storm Tuesday.

Mrs. Jane Thomas has returned from an extended visit at Elwood with her children.

Luman Banks was at Charlottesville Tuesday looking over his work on the new High School building.

She was married to William Teeney in 1867, and to this union were born two children, Frank and Ella, who preceded her in death some years ago.

She was again married, September 2, 1893, to James W. McCann, who still survives her. They lived together seventeen years of married life. She belonged to a family of eight children, four boys and four girls. All are dead except one brother, Martin Willis, of Lagro, Wabash county, Ind., who- lives to mourn the loss of a devoted and loving sister.

She joined the Radical U. B. church here under the pastorate of Rev. John Jackson was thoroughly converted, lived a noble life of devotion to her God, to her church, and to the community in which she lived. She was a true benediction to those around her. None knew her but to love her.

She always had a smile and a good word of praise for all was an ideal wife in her home, and a guiding star to her now bereft husband, and during her five years of severe affliction, she never was heard to murmur.

SAME AS MONEYi

We take on deposit Checks, Drafts, Certificates of Deposit, Express Orders, etc., either foreign or on home institutions. We have a system of collection whereby we can use the above the same as money. We solicit your business.

She leaves a husband, one brother, two step-grandchildren, Ethel and Leo Eakes, and many relatives, friends and neighbors to mourn for her.

Capital State Bank

Loving hands, which were never weary, ministered to her through the weary years she suffered, and all was done by loved ones, physician and others to keep her with us, but alas, God took her to himself, where no disease ever enters. She goes from us today, but in our memories she will live forever. Now we say farewell until we meet in Heaven.

She waited patiently for the summons and rejoiced when she saw the hour approaching for her departure. She loved her home, and her companions, but God the most. She has joined the Church Triumphant, which is far better.

"Tis hard to break the tender cord Where love has bound the heart 'Tis hard, so hard to say the words,

We must forever part."

Soils of Certain Color Have Distinctive Qualities for Production of Various Vegetable Growths

Is the color of a soil an index to its agricultural value? Why is one soil black and another red or yellow? These are some of the questions which are taken up in a recent bulletin by the bureau of soils of the department of agriculture.

The difference in color of soils was one of the first facts about them to impress the agriculturist and naturally he made a study of the subject, and came to conclusions some of which were right and some of which were not. Geologists, too, have paid a good deal of attention to these various colors, but more in regard to their bearing on the origin and formation of the soils than to their agricultural significance.

The bulletin states that theoretically the color is of importance as a guide to the origin and processes involved in the formation of the soil and as an indication of the relative age of any particular soil and that it is of practical importance because it determines to a greater or less extent the absorption of the sun's energy, and is often a guide to the drainage conditions, to the crop adaptations and to the cultural methods best suited to the soil.

It is said that no soil colors are pure colors, but are simply shades and tints. Soils ordinarily called red get their color from oxide of iron, which itself is never a pure red, but varies from brown to yellowish and when in the soil is still further changed by other substances. Colors range all the way from the white of beach sands to the black mucks of swamps. The various colors are due to the contents of white minerals, organic matter and iron oxide.

Light colored soils that is, white or grayish, are not worth much, as a rule, for general field crops,, but are often valuable for special purposes. In moist climates such soils are poor in organic matter, and in arid regions may contain a high content of alkali or gypsum.

Black soils are universally looked upon with favor. They usually contain a high percentage of organic matter and are well supplied with lime. The black color is thought to be due' to the formation of humus by the action of the lime on the decaying animal and vegetable matter.

Red soils are highly esteemed in the cotton growing sections of the south, where they are considered the richest. Some authorities take a red color to be an indication that the land is well drained. This they base on the fact that standing water would dissolve out the oxide of iron which coats the soil particles.

The only real agricultural value color has in itself is in its ability to radiate heat or absorb it. Colors also may have something to do with regulating the light tensity which influences bacterial and chemical reactions. Dark soils have been found to maintain a slgihtly higher temperature than light soils under the same conditions.

Mr. and Mrs. George Slifer and daughter, Norma, and Miss Delight Heim were guests of friends and relatives at Knightstown Tuesday.

Good Outside Demand But Prices Fell 5 to 10 Cents—Steers Ten Cents Lower.

Receipts, 10,500 hogs, 2,200 cattle and 1,300 sheep against 9,024 hogs, 1,703 cattle and 810 sheep a week ago and 3,964 hogs, 1,122 cattle and 420 sheep a year ago.

Many morfe hogs arrived than are usual following the Fourth of July holiday, and with similar reports from other markets, prices went lower. Some sales to shippers were 5 cents under Monday, but prices were irregularly 5 to 10 cents lower. Ordnary light hogs sold as low as $6.65, prime heavy as high as $6.85 and most of the supply at $6.75 to $6.80.

There was a big run of cattle following the holiday, especially of steers. Cows and heifers of all kind were steady. There was not much trade in stockers and feeders, and

prices were steady. Bulls were steady to 50c lower, according to quality and weight, with the heavy calves most neglected.

There was a big increase in the marketing of sheep and lambs, and fully as many as necessary. There was a slow outlet for the supply, especially those below top kinds, and there was a loss of. 25c. Most of the good spring lambs sold for $6.00 to $6.25, but there were odd sales as high as $6.50 to $6.75, and culls sold as low as '$3.00. A few yearlings brought $4.50 and ewes sold for $1.50 to $3.25.
