PEOPLE SICK BUDIH6 PAST WEEK

THE GRIPPE HAS BEEN GETTING IN

ITS WORK IN THIS CITY AND COUNTY, ATTACKING THE

YOUNG AND OLD ALIKE.

There has been an unusual amount of of sickness reported in Greenfield and Hancok county during- the past week or two. A great deal of the sickness is not of a serious nature, but is very disagreeable nevertheless and makes the' victims feel very badly while it lasts. In most cases the trouble can be described with the one word, grippe, a complaint which can cause more disagreeable feelings than most any other in a given time, arid it will come nearer affecting the entire body at the same time. It is not peculiar to any special season, but is usually much more prevalent during the winter. The doctors of the city have been kept busy recently fighting this malady along with other sickness, going almost day and night. v'-v 1

FIVE INDIANA CHAMPIONS WHO

RAISED OVER 106 BUSHELS PER

ACRE GIVEN WASHINGTON TRIP AS REWARD.

Washington, D. C\, January 22.—That the Indiana boy corn raisers are hustlers is proven by the records of the five champions in the corn club work of that stale, conducted co-operatively by the United States Department of Agriculture and Purdue University. These young men have just arrived in Washington on a sight-seeing trip, under the charge of their state leader, their expenses being paid by certain local organizations which desired to see the boys rewarded for their excellence in this manner. The boys expect to remain several days in the city.

Each boy during the past year raised more than 106 bushels of corn on his oneacre plot and the cost per bushel ranged from about 9 to 18 cents in the special cases. The exact yields and costs per bushel are as follows:

Wayland Zieseness, Lake county, yield per acre, 108.75 bushels cost 9.76 cents. Arthur Trout, Delaware county, yield per acre, 106.12 bushels cost, 11.50 cents.

Roy McAhren, Rush, yield per acre, 110.36 bushels: cost, 18.70 cents. Roy Friedersdorf, Bartholomew, yield per acre, 128.83 bushels cost, 12.60 cents.

Fred Thomas, Posey, yield per acre, 116.53 bushels cost, 8.!t2 cents. The fine records made by these boys, however, do not tell the whole story, for these are merely the very best. There were many other good records which deserve commendation. The state leader says that one of the club members who

particularly attracted his attention be-

cause of his work was not able to qualify as one of the five champions.

AGED FRIENDS MINISTER DIES.

Danville, Indiana, January 22.—The Rev. David 1-Iadley, 71 years old, for mSny years prominently identified with the Friends church in Indiana and a member of the board of trustees of Earlham College, died suddenly here today of heart disease.
