PROF. HICKS, WEATHER PROGNOSTICATOR, SAYS COMING MONTH WILL BRING US

SEVERAL STORMS.

AUTUMN EQUINOX PERIOD

Due in September—Warm and Humid Condition—Big Storm Middle of Month—Also Storm at Beginning of Month—It is Prof. Hicks'

Regular Dope.

Prophet Hicks has the following choicy weather menu fixed up for Sep.^piber: '^ular storm period is central oi. Jb 3d, covering the 1st to the 6th. The earth's autumnal equinox and the mercury period are both in force at this time. It will be natural to expect decided fall of the barometer, with all other attendant changes to active storm conditions during this period. Very warm and humid conditions, with south winds and low barometer, will admonish of equatorial storms. The 3d, 4th and 5th, will be the crisis of the period. Watch storm developments on and touching these dates, especially in southern extremes. The mercury period will prolong and intensify the tendency to threatening weather following this period.

A reactionary storm period is central on the 8th, 9th and 10th. Moon is full on the 8th, the central day of the mercury period, and on the celestial equator on the 9th. The annual magnetic and electric •crisis also falls within this period, •extending forward to about the 15th. On and about the 11th of September maximum "earth currents" disturbing telegraph lines, seismic shakes, very naturally reaeh a crisis over the globe generally.

Look for fierce equatorial storms on and near the 9th and 10th, followed by change to much cooler weather and frosts to the northward. Seismic period, 6th to 11th, central on the 8th and 9th.

A regular storm period unites with mercury period and the autumnal equinox, from the 12th to the 16tli. This period will bring return of falling barometer, change to warmer, cloudiness, rain and thunder, but we do not figure that general and abundant rain will fall at this time. In all probabilities equatorial or West India storms will affect the Gulf Coast regions, bringing dangerous winds and heavy rains to those sections and up the Atlantic Coast but counter storms from the northwest and through the interior states will result in cooler weather, but far less precipitation. Dangerous gales, with possible tornadoes are among the possibilities during this and other September periods.

A reactionary storm period falls at the center of the earth's autumnal equinox—from the 19th to the 22d. Theatening storms, wjth more or less violence, will be perfectly natural at this time, or at any time in this part of the month. New moon on the 22d will prolong low barometer, high temperature and stormy conditions generally, a day or two longer than normal at this time. Chances for good general rains grow better as we approach the close of September. Change to much cooler about the 22d to the' 25th, first in the west, progressing east and south. A marked seismic 'period covers the 19th to 25th, being central on the 22d.

A regular storm period covers the last week in September, the crisis of the period falling on the 26th, 27th and 28th. Autumnal storms will be general at this time and cool nights with frost in many states, may be expected as we pass into October. For thirty years we have persistently striven to correct the error that the equinoctial storms are to be expected only on March and on September 21st and 22d. For three weeks or more before and after these central dates, the equinoctial storms are liable to come, beginning in August and often in October.

Common Colds Must Be Taken Seriously. For unless cured they sap the vitality and lower the vital resistance to more serious infection. Protect your children and yourself by the prompt use of Foley's Honey and Tar Compound and note its quick and decisive results. For coughs, colds, croup, whooping cough, bronchitis and affections of the throat, chest and lungs, it is an ever ready and valuable remedy. M. C. Quigley. .. f,

MONEY ON 1HE

Fred Wiese's Ten Acres of Potatoes Will Net $750—20 Acres of Tobacco—Corn 50 Bu. to Acre.

Fred A. Wiese, of Warren township, is one of the successful farmers in this county who is not complaining of high-priced land for farming, or worrying about profits on the farm, says the Marion County Mail. He says he would not hesitate to buy good farm land at $200 per acre, and make money farming. He is now digging a ten-acre field of potatoes which are averaging 75 bushels to the acre, and he is getting $1.25 to $1.50 per bushel for them. The crop was well cultivated and the ground well fertilized. He planted the late potatoes between the rows of his early potatoes raising two crops a year from the same ground. He tried a new seed called' the Irish Jubilee, but the Rural New Yorker is doing the best. His late potato crop had no rain of any amount on it from the time the seed was planted.

He harvested 920 bushels of fine wheat from 35 acres, an average of 30 bushels to the acre. The ground was first covered with tobacco stalks, then manure and 400 pounds of fertilizer to the acre. The extra labor and fertilizer paid well.

His 20-acre tobacco field is doing well and he expects a good yield. His tobacco crops for the last four years have done fine except last year. He had a good yield last year but the price has been so low he has not yet sold the crop. Previous to last year his half of the crop has netted him $50 to $75 per acre on 20 to 40 acres.

His corn crop promises to yield 50 bushels to the acre. He drilled 300 pounds of fertilizer to the acre into the ground instead of in the corn row. The corn was well cultivated, as Mr. Wiese believes in thorough cultivation.

LOST FIRST GAME:

Two Games of Ball Labor Day Witnessed By Large Crowd—Grays Wron Second, Score 5 to 3.

The two ball games Monday, Labor Day, between the Gray Bros, team of this city and .the Gold Medal team of Indianapolis, were witnessed by large and enthusiastic crowds. The first game was lost to the visiting team by a score of 6 to 5. In the last game the score went the other way, standing 5 to 3 in favor of the local team at the close of the game. In the first game the Bray Brothers' battery was Pappon and Murphy, and in the second, New and White.

Not a Word of Scandal

marred the call of a neighbor on Mrs. W. P. Spangh of Manville, Wyo. who said: "She told me Dr. King's New Life Pills had cured her of obstinate kidney trouble, and made her feel like a new woman." Easy, but sure remedy for stomach, liver and kidney troubles. Only 25c at M. C. Quigley's.

Heard in a Michigan City butcher shop: "Here, boy, hustle, up break the bones in Mrs. Anthony's chops, put Mrs. Gleason's ribs in the basket, and, by the way, there is Mrs. Wright's liver that she left on the counter yesterday and take Mrs. Larkins' feet out of the pickle and deliver them, at once." "All right," said the boy, "just as soon as I saw Mrs. Jarrett's leg off."

Mrs. Asa Boring spent Monday with her mother, Mrs. Mary Boyd, on R. R. 5.

DR. OLIVER D. FITCH DIES AT THE HOI

For Odd Fellows at GreensburgWidely Known Astronomer and Teacher.

Dr. Oliver F. Fitch died Friday at the Odd Fellows' Home at Greens burg, where he went with his wife a few years ago. The body was taken to the home of C. M. Rock at Morristown and the funeral will occur Sunday at 2 p. m. at the Christian church.

Mr. Fitch was born in New York in 1818. He taught school at Brookville and also at Morristown academy for twenty-four consecutive years and later in the new graded schools. He was an astronomer and scientist and owned a large telescope. He was a prominent Odd Fellow and Mason. His wife died at the Home a year ago. Many of Mr. Fritch's old school pupils live in Greenfield and a reunion of his pupils has been held annually for about twenty years.

MRS. JOSEPH MACY DIES.

Death Comes to Aged Woman After Brief Illness.

Mrs. Samantha Macy, widow of the late Joseph Macy died Friday morning at 9:30 o'clock at the home of her son, D. C. Macy, three miles southwest of Arlington. Mrs. Macy was 72 years old. She suffered a stroke of paralysis about a month ago and since then has been in a serious condition.

She is survived by four children, D. C. Macy, B. Macy, Frank Macy and Lanto Macy, all of Rush county. The funeral services will be held Sunday morning at 10:30 o'clock in the Union Chapel M. E. church. Interment will take place in the church cemetery. Oak S. Morrison is the undertaker in charge.

Few people realize how much the little attentions of every day life mean to their associates in the home, the church, or the business place. It is generally a lack of consideration which makes one for get the tiny pleasantries but lack of consideration is really one form of selfishness, and selfishness is not considered a desirable quality. Re member that the little things in life, either good or bad, count for more with those we love than we ever know, and we should be watch ful of our actions and our words.

As usually treated, a sprained ankle will disable a man for three or four weeks, but by applying Chamberlain's Liniment freely as soon as the injury is received, and observing the directions with each bottle, a cure can be effected in from two to four days. For sale by all dealers.

IIIG WARE FROM THE YARDS

Expect To Ship 1,000 Gross Per Day of Glass Fruit Jars From Ball Bros. Plant Want Hands.

Fred E. Jewett, superintendent of the big fruit jar plant of Ball Bros., has been in Greenfield for a week arranging to ship out the big stock of fruit jars at the west end factory. They want to get clear of the stock while the fruit season is on. He said he would like to ship 1,000 gross per day until all were shipped. He wants all the hands he can get.

HUNTERS' LICENSES

County Clerk Has Received the First Supply of Season.

County Clerk Moses Wood has received 200 blank hunting licenses from George W. Miles, commissioner of fisheries and game. The State commissioner has sent out approximately 47,000 blank licenses to the county clerks of the state. A total list of the licenses printed this year shows that more than 60,000 are ready for distribution. Yigo, Allen, Vanderburg and Lake counties receive the largest number of licenses with the exception of Marion county. Those counties receive 1,500 each.

TORKEY CASE GOES UP

Case of State Against Four Indianapolis Parties Sent to Grand Jury.

After the State's evidence wras ubmitted in the case against Earl Kinnian, Gus Borovilos, Ella Richards and Mary B. Schott, of Indianapolis, charged with larceny, the squire, D. C. Gimason, referred the case to the grand jury. The parties named above were charged by Robert E. Leonard with stealing two turkeys from his place southwest of the city. The trial was heard in the farmers' room Tuesday afternoon.

WILL NOT PROSEGOTE

State Game Commission Will Take No Action—City May Prosecute.

Scores of petitions have been received at the office of the State Game and Fish Commissioner for permission to kill blackbirds. No permission has been given, but the Commissioner will not prosecute for killing them where they become pests, as they are at this season.

Blackbirds do not come in the list of birds which the state game law exempts from protection, and are protected as fully as the robin or the redbird. The former administration permitted the birds to be killed in villages or suburbs where they became a nuisance and did not attempt to enter prosecutions.

Jacob Sottong, chief deputy commissioner for the south half of the state, said it would be useless to bring proceedings to prosecute persons killing blackbirds where they made themselves a pest, as he did not believer, he said, any court would fine a man for killing the birds when they became a nuisance. It is only in the late summer and early fall, when the birds are going south, that they become pests.

Before killing the birds in Greenfield it would be necessary to get permission of the city authorities, as there is an ordinance against the firing of a gun in the city.

The Automobile Balked. Mrs. James E. Sample, of this city, entertained her cousin, Miss Jessie Fussel, of Geneva, Neb., on Thursday, and after dinner, accompanied by Vera, the little daughter of Mrs. Sajnple, they went out to the country intending to visit their grandfather's old homestead, but when about seven miles out of town the automobile became tired or stubborn and absolutely refused to finish the trip, so all that remained for them to do was to wrait for help to come from the garage to get them back home. While waiting for help Miss Fussel kodaked the disappointed bunch as well as the auto, and no doubt Mrs. Sample will appreciate the picture when Miss Fussel sends it to her, as it will remind her of her first experience with a stubborn automobile.

Miss Fussel left on the first auto traction car for Pendleton Friday morning, and goes from there to her home in Geneva to take up her school work next Monday morning.

Willett Family Reunion. The Willett family held their eleventh reunion at Dewey's Park in Greenfield Thursday. Ninety-one members and ten visitors were present. At 12 o'clock they sat down to a well-filled table and all partook freely after the Rev. Taylor had asked God's blessing on the assembled company. After dinner, when each member had rested from their labor at the table, the president called them to order. The old officers were re-elected and a vice president, Will Willett, was added.

the last meeting, which was approved. Then followed, first a race of young boys, Floyd Wright, the winner second a foot race for the girls, with Delia Lamb., the winner Earl Willett won the sack race for men and Hubert Foster for boys. Opal Jessup won the ladies' footrace and Nellie Shelby the water melon contest. Celia Porter sang a song and India Wright gave an interesting reading. The family then adjourned, having decided to meet at Dewey's Park again next year on the last Thursday in August.

Greenfield Young Lady Has Work Copyrighted—Used Many Places.

Miss Selma Stephens, who has had charge of the sewing department of the city schools since it wras started, has prepared a threeyears' course of sewing lessons for the Industrial Educational Company of Indianapolis. The lessons are published with illustrations, in book form and have been copyrighted by Miss Stephens, who will receive a royalty. The course has been adopted by a number of school boards.

Miss Stephens will have charge of this department in the Greenfield schools the coming term and will use the same plan of lessons, although she cannot use the published outlines, another outline having been adopted here before it was known that she was getting out this work.
