It would be very pleasing to some politicians if a law could be enacted by which they could not be prosecuted for political frauds.

We do not believe that a statewide primary would be a political reform, but if the Demorcratic legislature does not pass such a law, it will not keep its platform pledge to the people.

If Republicans are parties to the Terre Haute election frauds, let them have the full effect of the law. "Let no guilty man escape" is good advice. We are sorry if Republicans are mixed up in the fraud, not sorry that they were caught. If they are guilty they should suffer the legal penalty. It is wholesome that men, no matter what their politics, be convicted and punished for political frauds.

The people are ready for a national election. They are anxious for a chance to vote for protection and prosperity. If they could -vote today. President Wilson would be greatly shocked, because he thinks his administration is a success. He says he has confidence in the people, but if they had a chance to vote today, they would repudiate tariff for revenue by an overwhelming majority.

Let us watch that economy move in the Indiana legislature.

Seed Corn and Cultivation. The importance of good seed corn can not be over-estimated. It is a good time now to test the seed. It should be done systematically so that after the test, the corn grower can know that his seed is good. If a man gets a 90 per cent stand of corn he seems to think it is good enough, but ten per cent is a big loss. It would mean 10 bushels on a hundred 100 bushels on a thousand. Ten per cent interest would not be endured for a moment by persons who borrow money, neither should a loss of ten per cent in a stand of corn be satisfactory. This loss in the very start of a corn crop can be largely overcome by testing the seed carefully. Then another matter of great importance is the preparation of the seed bed. It is found that persons in Central Indiana who raise the best corn are breaking their ground deep. One successful contestant in the great corn show broke his ground eleven iv inches deep. All broke their-ground deeper than the average farmer does. Let the farmers prepare for a bumper corn crop this year by breaking the ground deep, selecting the seed carefully, preparing the si ground and cultivating the crop with unusual care. The price next winter will justify the care.

is not out 'til they sing." Some things look all right for economy, but others do not. We can tell better what the cost has been when the legislature has adjourned. We would like to see a record made for true economy, but if money saved at the beginning of the legislature is spent in the closing sessions, then there is no real economy. Watch the state senate majority. They represent the Democratic machine. The best of authority on the machine influence is that declared by a Democratic senator.

Stock in Fine Shape For Sale. James Souder and son's sale, which occurs at Jersey Dell Stock Farm next Monday, February 22, 1915, northeast of this city, will be one of the big sales of the season. It is the seventh stock sale that Mr. Souder has made. He has been in the Jersey cattle, draft horse and Duroc hog business for many years, and always has his stuff in good shape for sale. He has had some of the best cattle, horses and hogs that have ever been in this county. In buying stock he always buys the best, and most of the stock sold at his sales is stock that he has raised himself. The stock that he has for sale next Monday is looking fine, and he pronounces it the best that he has ever offered at a public sale. 18d-l-w (Advertisement.)

Description of San Jose Scale. A tiny patch of gray scale on trees or fruit. When a scale is overturned by the point of the knife blade, this tiny scale about the size of a pin head, is found to cover a substance looking like dried blood. This tiny insect lives on the sap of the tree, or on the juice of the fruit. Since it gets its food by thus sucking its living from beneath the surface, it requires a caustic spray material to burn or to smother the pest. Lime-sulphur spray properly used is such a control measure. Use one gallon of lime-sulphur to 9 or 10 gallons of wrater. Measure it: don't guess at it.

This solution put on with a good spray pump, large enough to throw at least 200 gallons per hour, will be sullicient if the operator will keep the' pump constantly working, so that a good pressure can be maintained.

The dormant spray will also control peach leaf curl if diluted at the rate of 1 to 8. There are two comImon causes of failure. (1 The spraying is not done early enough,

and (2) it is not done thoroughly. When the buds begin to break it is too late to spray for leaf curl. The spraying must be done so thoroughly as to cover the branches on all sides. Samuel H. Moore.

Randall Court,

Long Beach, Cal., Feb. 10, 1915 Dear Reporter: Enclosed find a clipping from the Long Beach (Cal.) Press, which will no doubt be of interest to many of your readers who knew both Mr. Freeman Crawford and his daughter, Lulu, when they lived in Greenfield. The former passed away some years ago, and the latter is still an enthusiastic resident of Long Beach. When it became known that she contemplated a change of name, social circles took on a fresh impetus and for some six weeks society folk of the beach and Los Angeles were kept on the alert with innumerable teas, luncheons, dinners and "showers." Many useful and beautiful gifts followed, which serve not only to enhance the beauty of the already beautiful home, but also as an expression of the affection and admiration of many friends. Mr. Runge is a very estimable citizen of Long Beach, a retired business man and a gentleman of genial, happy temperament, making frienrs wherever he goes. At the close of the marriage ceremony Mr. and Mrs. WTilson and their charming daughter, Bessie, served an 11 o'clock breakfast to the briday party and a small circle of intimate friends On the return of Mr. and Mrs. Runge from the bridal trip, Mr. and Mrs. Wilson again entertained the same campany at an elegant 6 o'clock dinner.

Mrs. Mary McGaughey Handy, of Harrodsburg, Kentucky, is spending the winter at the Beach. Mrs. Handy was formerly Miss Mollie McGaughey, of Morristown, and an old friend of the Tyner boys. Mrs. Handy is a woman of charming personality and a valuable acquisition to Long Beach society. We are arranging to take in the San Diego exposition together next week.

California has been passing through her rainy season, which is about over, but the rains are of the soft, spring like variety, so we do not mind them, but there have been many terrible storms at sen, which have almost ruined the ocean fronts of all the beach towns from San Francisco to San Diego, the heavy swells wrecking without mercy bulkheads and buildings. The beach here is crowded every day with sight-seers who come to view the devastation of storm and tide and hunt for mementoes, blister pearls and other trasures of the deep.

We are looking for many of you good Hancock county people in Southern California this year, and do not forget that Long Beach has the best climate both winter and summer and is quite the best beach town on the Southern California coast, and Randall Court is decidedly the most attractive place to live in Long Beach, so come right to the Beach and right to the "court" and be happy.

Sincerely yours, PEARLE E. TYNER.
