NEWTON R. SPENCER, Editor and Proprietor.

The talk that temperance is not a political issue makes us exceedingly tired. We would readily agree that it should not be a political issue, but so long as laws are made by legislative bodies, and that will be for all time, and so long as meipbers of legislative bodies are selected by political parties, there will be politics connected with temperance questions and temperance reform. Under existing conditions, that is the only way that temperance reforms can be enacted into law. All temperance laws have been political, and in most cases they have been partisan. In some states one party advocates them, and in other states another party supports them. "The temperance cause will never down" until it is settled right. The liquor and saloon interests would like to have the temperance people of all parties educated to the belief that it is not a political question,^ and that it should not be permitted to come up in such a way as to interfere with their party regularity that it is a question to be settled outside of politics. If they could get the temperance people to accept that belief they would feel perfectly secure for all time. They know that it would then never be settled. The evil of the liquor traffic is so great that it has to be removed, and it will ultimately be removed, even if the removal wrecks both the political parties. Every change in the question, even the defeats, only stimulate the temperance people to greater demands and efforts."

Didn't Pan Out.

A New York firm devised a little scheme that was to make it rich. It put an umbrella stand in most of the prominent drug stores. The patron paid a dollar^ and received an umbrella, which, when he had finished using it, he returned to any other stand and received in return a check, which he carried in his pocket till he needed another umbrella, and then he stepped into the nearest stand and received one by depositing his check. The checks were dated with the year and were good til the expiration of the year, when they could be renewed by payment of another dollar. The scheme was popular and the dollars came tumbling in, and all went well till just before the expiration of the year ninety per cent, of the people took out an umbrella, never returned it and failed to renew the check, and the concern went up in smoke. They hadn't figured quite far enough ahead, and they also forgot that the command, "Thou shalt not steal," has no reference to umbrellas.

Hired farm hands say they have never seen a season when the farmers got as many hours' work out of their hired men as they are getting this season. There has been no wet spell since spring, and the farmers who hired their hands by the month, "wet or dry," are laughing in their sleeves for there has been no day for loafing on his time or doing odd jobs about the barn in order that the hands may get their time in.

One farmer says raising mules, like raising chickens, figures out well on paper, but the business is hazardous. The get in colts is not as great as in horses, and there are other dangerous reefs where wreck is always possible. The mare mule sells for more money than the horse mule, because the horse mule is more vicious, particularly with the other stock.

JKannard Firm issolves Partnership. Ricketts & Ulrich, who have been partners in the lumber, coal and cement business in Kennard for a few years, -will, by mutual agreement, dissolve partnership August 1st, after which Mr. Ricketts will have complete control of the lumber and cement trade, and Mr. Ulrich will look after the coal business. ....

Not to be outdone by neighboring cities which have the distinctive "honor of harboring a "woman in black," Anderson comes to the front with a mysterious personage that is dressed as a female, whom it is claimed, is nine feet tall and who chases pedestrians. The police are of the opinion that the mysterious spersonage is some mischievous boy on stilts.

MAY LOSE AN EYE

Ralph Binford, Son of E. S. Binford, Victim of Serious Accident— Is Now At the Hospital.

Ralph Binford, son of Elmer J. Binford, was the victim of a serious accident at Knightstown Saturday afternoon that will probably result in the loss of the sight of his left eye. He was visiting his grandmother, Mrs. J. O. Binford, and with some other boys was playing Indian with bows and arrows. One of the arrows struck him in the left eye, penetrating the ball.

His relatives here were communicated with and the sufferer taken at once to Dr. Morrison, the eye specialist at Indianapolis. He was taken to the Deaconess Hospital and Dr. Morrison operated on the eye, the sight of which will probably be lost and a slight scar left.

The boy's father, E. J. Binford, was away on business and a telegram was sent to him at Vincennes. He had left there and the telegram was forwarded to Cleveland, where he received it and started at once for Indianapolis, arriving at the hospital about 1 o'clock Sunday Morning.

INDIANA TAKES LEAD AS All ONION STATE

Will Ship 1,250,000 Bushels This Season of Fine Onions of Quality Regarded as the Best.

Warsaw, Ind.—According to figures furnished Charles M. Weiner, of Ft. Wayne, secretary of the National Onion Association, which is holding its second annual meeting at Lake Wawasee, Indiana will ship 1,250,00 bushels of onions this season. This is the largest crop produced by the state, and a yield of a proportion that it will place Indiana at the head of the list of onion producing states. It is said that 2,350 acres of Northern Indiana is planted in onions.

RACING IN WAYNE

Herds Devastated By Ravages of Disease Which Has Made a Premature Appearance.

Hog Cholera has broken out with deadly effect and is ravaging the pens of farmers living south and southwest of the city, says the Richmond Palladium. Some farmers have lost seventy head of fine young shoats, others between twenty and fifty head, the losses ranging from $50 to $600. Dairy Inspector Flook, who has been working hard in the past year to prevent the spread of cholera by demanding that the farmers strictly observe the laws regarding live stock, said this morning that the epidemic is a most serious one.

Last winter hog raisers all over the county suffered greatly from attacks of cholera on their herds, but during the winter it nearly died out*. It usually makes an appearance in the fall about the time the farmers begin feeding new corn to hogs, but its premature appearance this year is the cause of much alarm.

SAVING IDE STRAW FOR WINTER FEED

Farmers Are Having Straw Baled and Stored Away—Hay is Very Scarce and Higli.

More Straw is being baled this year than ever before, according to report, and it is due largely to the scarcity and high price of hay. The 1 balers are in demand everywhere, and they all have a great deal of work ahead.

The oats are being threshed and the farmers are anxious to save all this straw for winter feed, and are having it baled and stored away in their barns and sheds. The hay crop was unusually short and consequently the price is so high that it is almost out of reach. The oats straw makes a good rough winter feed, and wheat straw is also being baled for use as feed, if needed. The straw is being taken care of in good shape, as there has been but little rain on it.

One can always cut into a watermelon without fear that it is adulterated, but still there may be disappointment.

SUIT FOR SUPPORT

Plaintiff, Helen IScw, Asks For Judgment Against Fred New For $5,000, Alleging Abandonment.

A complaint has been filed in the Circuit Court by Helen New against Frederick W. New for support of plaintiff and infant child, and in attachment, demanding judgment for $5,000. The complaint sets out that they were married at Anderson, March 31, 1909, and the fruits of said marriage is a daughter, Mary Elva, born September 15, 1910.

On March 1, 1911, the plaintiff alleges, the defendant deserted her and their infant child, without support or maintenance, and has not lived with or supported them since, but has wholly deserted them. The plaintiff further alleges that the whereabouts of the defendant are to her unknown, that he has purposely and intentionally concealed his place of abode and that it remains unknown to herself, his relatives and friends. She says that she further believes that he is not a resident of the Slate of Indiana.

That on the 27th day of August 1909, the defendant became the owner of fifty shares of the stock of the New Milling Company. That the face value of each of said shares of stock is $50, and aggregate $5,000 and is of the probable value of $5,000.

That the defendant was the owner of said stock on the first day of March, 1911, when he abandoned and deserted the plaintiff and his child, and is still the owner of said stock.

The plaintiff further avers that she has no money or property of her own sufficient for the support of herself and child. That $100 per month is necessary for her support and the maintenance of her infant child.

The plaintiff asks a judgment and order for the payment of $5,000 to her and asks that a receiver be appointed to take charge of said certificate of stock and that he be ordered to reduce the said stock to cash by sale thereof and that the proceeds derived from such sale be ordered applied in payment and satisfaction of the judgment rendered herein.

HAS UNITED 168 COUPLES FOR BETTER OR WORSE —LAST COUPLE JOINED HANDS

THURSDAY EVENING.

SQUIRE THIRTY ONE YEARS

Has Married Couples and Then Their Children—Whole Families Engage Him—Married One Woman Three Times—Performs W6rk Quickly.

Squire Joseph Garrett, who recently came here from Brown township, may justly claim to be Hancock's "Marrying Squire," as he has united 168 couples, for better or for worse, without doubt a larger number than any other person in the county has married.

Squire Garrett's last wedding was Thursday afternoon, when he was called upon to unite Charles Thornburg and Miss Diamond G. Scott, at his office. This couple rounded out a total of 168.

Mr. Garrett was elected a justice of the peace in Brown township, thirty-one years ago, and has filled that office ever since, with the exception of a few months, when he first moved to this city.

At his country home he was located at a point near where Hancock, Henry and Madison counties join, and his services were sought by couples from each of the three counties. They went to his home or sent for him to go to their home, and it was all the same to him. He performs the solemn ceremony quickly, but in an impressive manner that is very popular with those who seek his aid in the interests of Dan Cupid. The popularity of his manner of tying the knot is very thoroughly demonstrated by the number who have called upon him. In fact Squire Garrett married a number of couples when he first wore the ermine as a justice, and in later years was called upon to marry the children of these couples. He tied the nuptial knot for entire families and has married the same person the second time in several instances and in one instance he has married the same woman three times. He is quite unassuming, notwithstanding his popularity with cupid's victims and never makes any charges, always leaving the matter of pay entirely with the groom, and in most cases they have been very generous.

Mr. Garrett expects to help out an even two hundred couples before he discards the ermine and at the rate he has been going, it is very probable that he will not be disappointed in this desire.
