HARRY HUDSON, OF THIS CITY, FILES CLAIM AGAINST ESTATE OF LATE JARED

P. BINFORD, WHO REARED HIM.

Some interesting family history is contained in a claim filed this afternoon by Harry M. Hudson, of Greenfield, in the Circuit Court against the estae of the late Jared P. Binford, says the Rushville Daily Republican. The claim is for $7,000 and is against Mrs. Ella M. Mcllvaine, administratrix of the estate. Mr. Binford- died about two months ago and left his estate to Mrs. McIlvaine. His wife preceded him to the grave by a few weeks.

Hudson is a resident of Greenfield and the claim is for services covering a period of years from 1885 to 1914. The complaint slates that he went to the Binford home, an orphan, when seven years old and began working as a farm hand. He states that he plowed in the field with the rest of the men and that Mr. Binford even cut off the handles of the plow to acommodate the small stature of the claimant.

Hudson, according to the complaint, stayed at the Binford home

TELLS OF DATE GROWING.

A. C. Randall, who returned a few days ago from California, where he spent six months with his brother, William H. Randall, in the Coachella valley, tells of some interesting things that are peculiar to that particular part of the country. While some grain, grass and vegetables grow by irrigation, dates are the main crop. Mr. Randall went there to build a house for his brother, who went there in 1904 from Kansas, where he went to from here in 1885. The houses there are built of Mexican adobe, mud, and plastered inside and out, wTilh a projecting roof. There is very seldom any rain there and when there is, the projecting roofs protect the mud buildings. Grapes are grown in large numbers there,

Wren's Nest in Man's Pocket. The familiarity of the wren family of birds when protected by man is well illustrated at the home of William Bowlin, on the farm of Elihu Mills, northeast of this city. When the warm days of spring came Mr. Bowlin discarded his corduroy coat and hung it on the porch by the side of the towel rack and basin where the farm hands are wont to perform their ablutions, and the family pass almost every few minutes. In the pockets of the coat Mr. Bowlin left a pair of gloves, which distended the opening, and here a wren has builded a nest and is hatching a brood without apparent fear and is content as a bird could be.—Cambridge City Tribune.

CHOLERA REP0R1ED:

Considerable Cholera Reported In Martindale Community, Near Willow Branch.

Hog cholera is reported again in Hancock county and is causing considerable loss. Quite a good deal of it is said to exist about Willow Branch, especially in the Martindale community.

The farmers there are endeavoring to exterminate the disease by vaccinating the hogs. Dr. C. P. Wilson was there Monday and Tuesday using the serum. Farmers have tried many cures and preventatives for hog cholera, but generally they prove disappaintments. The use of hog cholera serum as a preventive and cure, in the first stages of the disease has been successfully demonstrated in a number of cases, in many States, it is said, and is recommended as the only satisfactory method of dealing with the disease. This treatment has not come into general use in this county however, but is being used more than previously.

WW AGAINST

CORES

Government Has Not Approved Any Treatment Except the Protective Serum.

Evidence of what appears to be a well organized campaign to delude farmers throughout the country into buying an alleged cure for hog cholera, under the impression that this has been investigated and approved by the United States Government, has reached the Department of Agriculture at Washington, says a dispatch from that city. Articles praising this medicine, Benetol by name, are being sent out widespread to newspapers. These articles are so worded that it appears as if the Department of Agriculture had received reports from the State of Minnesota showing that the medicine had proved most beneficial. As a matter of fact, the one report received by the Department was unofficial and unsolicited statement sent presumably from the promoters themselves. The Department attaches no importance whatsoever to this statement. It has no reason to believe in the efficiency of any proprietary cure for hog cholera and does not recommend any. Under certain conditions it urges farmers to protect their stock with anti-hog-cholera serum, but that is all.

In connection with this attempt it may be said that the medicine, which is now put. forward as good for hogs, was advertised some time ago as a means of killing tuberculosis, typhoid germs, according to an article published in the Journal of the American Medical Association. At that time it was asserted that the Army was interested in it. As a matter of fact, the Army was no more interested then than the Department of Agriculture is now.

In view of the evidence that the attempt to create this false impression is persistent and widspread, all hog owners are warned to communicate with the United States authorities before accepting as true any statement that the Government recommends any treatment other than the serum already mentioned.

The Priscilla Embroidery Club, of Charlottesville, met Wednesday afternoon with Mrs.-,Claude R. Walker, of near Cleveland. The guests present were Mrs. Emery Lacey and daughter, Blanche, of near Wilkinson Mrs. Charles Walker, of Greenfield Mrs, Linza Walker, Mrs. Charles Hatfield and Martha Williams.

A crowd came out from town in the evening. Ice cream was made and served.—Knightstown Banner.

Met An Old Comrade.

The White River (South Dakota) Mellette County News, of June 11, contains the following item that will be read with interest by Greenfield people: "Two old comrades met the other ^lay after 52 years' separation. David Fenney, of Wood, while journeying along the road near Westover, stopped in at Almon keifer's store and through the G. A. R. button found they were comrades belonging to the 5th Indiana cavalry."

Mr. Keifer was a veteran printer of Greenfield until a few years ago, •when he went 'to South Dal$ota and took a claim and later on started a store. He was here a few months ago on a visit.
