FELL FROM SWING

SIRS. LEE BAKER AND TWO LITTLE SONS IN DANGEROUS ACCIDENT AND ALL

ARE INJURED

Mrs. Lee Baker and two sons, -^Arthur, age 5, and Howard, age 3, of Blue River Township, fell from the merry-go-round on South State street Saturday afternoon and all were painfully injured, but it is thought none dangerously.

Thought Son Was Falling The mother had taken her little sons on the swing and was standing between them as they were seated on. the ponies. When the swing was in motion she thought the smaller of the children was falling and in trying to save him she lost her balance, all three falling from the swing while it was in rapid motion.

Caused Much Excitement Excitement ran. high, as it w*as thought they w^re all dangerously hurt, if not killed. One of the proprietors of the swing ran to the home of Dr. J. L. Allen, on South street, and Dr. Heller was also summoned. The physicians made a hurried examination and had Lynam & Company's ambulance summoned and the injured people were taken to the home of J. I. Butler on Walnut street.

Injuries Not Dangerous At the Butler home an examination disclosed the fact that Mrs. Baker was the most seriously in jured, having a gash about three inches long cut on the back of her head, and being bruised. The older boy had a knee slightly hurt and the younger boy wras bruised considerably. J\Tone are thought to be dangerously hurt, however.

Husfiand was Summoned Lee Baker, husband and father* of the injured, had just returned to his home with a load of coal, when he was summoned to return. Mrs. Baker's mother, Mrs. Tarbet, of Carthage, was also summoned, and other relatives came during the day Sunday and were pleased to learn that the patients were recovering. They will remain at the Butler home a few days' however. Mrs. Baker is a granddaughter, and the injured boys are great grandsons of John Hardin Scott, of Douglas street.

FILLING OF SILOS IS PARTICULAR WORK

Corn Should Be in Proper Condition and Ensilage Must Be Handled Right.

The filling of silos, which is comparatively new work in this locality, seems to be very particular work to get the best results. One man who has done this w:ork says corn is ready to be cut for ensilage when the grain is in the dent and glazed, but can still be broken with the thumb nail. At this stage, under normal conditions, the two or three lower blades will be turning brown, and the shuck will be turning yellow at the end. He says

The Family Cough Medicine In every home, there should be a bottle of Dr. King's New Discovery, ready for immediate use when any member of the family contracts a cold or a cough. Prompt use will stop the spread of sickness. S. A. Stid, of Mason, Mich., writes: "My whole family depends upon Dr. King's New Discovery as the best cough and cold medicine in the world. Two 50c bottles cured me of pneumonia."

is used, one man is sufficient. They'

should keep the silage higher at the walls than in the center, and continually tramp the silage next to the walls. The tramping is especially to keep out the air. When possible allow the machine to stand twro or three days and refill' to make use of all the capacity. Finish filling the silo running in a load of grass or weeds. This will rot and seal the top and prevent having to throw -out the same amount of spoiled silage.

The silage should feel wet after it is cut in the silo. If the corn is very mature when cut, and is consequently too dry, add water. A small stream may be run into the blower from a barrel or tank. It is especially important that the silage be well tramped. The blower should be run a few minutes every morning in order to clear the atmosphere before anyone enters the silo.

Mail Carrier's Motorcycle Skidded in Dodging a Dog

John Hagans, mail carrier on Route 7, had a hard fall Monday morning at the Main and State street crossing, when he tried to dodge a dog with his motorcycle. The brick street was slippery' and the short quick turn caused his motorcycle to skid and go down. John held on to it and turned the power off, but the machine slid several feet, breaking a pedal off. John was not hurt, but he performed some interesting acrobatic stunts in saving himself.

Greenfield Boy is Making in Musical World—Picture in New York Clipper.

Earl K. Smith, son of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Smith, of this city, a young composer, is making quite a name and reputation in his chosen profession at Chicago, where he went from here several years ago.

In the September 27th issue of the New York Clipper, the most widely circulated theatrical magazine in the United States, appears a fine double column picture of Mr. Smith, accompanied by the following notice and also the song, "My Indiana Rose," the w^ords of which were composed by Billy Johnson, and the music by Mr. Smith: "Earl K. Smith has been -identified with Tell Taylor, the Chicago music publisher, as professional manager, for the past seven years. Prior to joining the Tell Taylor forces in Chicago, Mr. Smith was identified with the B. C. Whitney productions, 'Piff, Paff Pouff' and 'The Isle of Spice,' for four years, doing light comedy work. "Earl K. Smith is a creative genius, and among other compositions from his pen, 'You're Like the Y'oung Apple Blossom is to the Old Apple Tree," a ballad, enjoys a considerable vogue. 'Over the Billowy' Sea' a bass song, one of Smith's compositions, is a favorite with all quartettes. The Trevette Four, the Tuxedo Four and the Sailor Comedy Four are among the quartettes featuring this song. "Mr. Smith enjoys an enviable reputation with quartette singers, as a teacher of harmony. He is 25 years of age, and was born at

Greenfield, Ind., the home of James Whitcomb Riley. His first offering was 'Til the End of Time,' a highclass ballad on the style of Ernie Ball's ballads, and still going very big: "Earl has in preparation a 'Paul Dresser' ballad, entitled 'My Indiana Rose,' which is to be projected by Tell Taylor. "Earl K. Smith is very popular with professionals. In his official position with Tell Taylor, he has an opportunity of coming in personal contact with representative artists and he never overlooks an opportunity to help them whenever occasion offers."
