SPENI LIFE IN BANKING AND GRAIN HI SIN ESS AND NOT IN TILLING SOIL, KENTLAND NEIGHBORS SHOW —EXPRESS WONDER AT HIS AG Kid III K AL UIVEKTISEMEM

KENTLAND, Ind. Oct.4.— An anomolous note is struck in the Indiana Gubernatiorial campaign within the borders of Newton county where Warren T. McCray, the He. publican nominee is best known by virtue of his long residence. McCray, and his managers and the Republican state committee have asidiously cultivated the ide a that he is a farmer, a “dirt farmer”. In fact the nominee himself has capitalized his agricultural talents almost to the that he might possess. Here, however, where he is person ally known to almost every man, woman and child, his chief fame lies, not in the fact that he owns a big stock farm, but in the general knowledge that he has ammassed a huge fortune through connection with a brokerage firm that deals in grain futures on the Chicago Board of trade. McCray is not a farmer nor has he lived on a farm sinceh is early youth. He is a banker, a grain dealer and a stock broker. According to his friends in Kent, land he "never followed a plough in his life" a nd they express great surprise that there is a prevalent notion in Indiana that he is a “ farmer candidate”. ou had better refer to him a s the “Board of Trade candidate,” these People say," for that is his real pro. fession ” Mr. McCray has lived in Kentland since earjv in his youth and before he was nineteen years old conducted a grocery store there He early became identified with the grain business and the rich productiveness of this country enabled him to prosper Became Bank President Following the death of his father he took the presidency of the Discount and Deposit bank of Kentland and has maintained offices in the bank building for years. At one time he controlled several elevators in this county, although it is said he has disposed of his grain interests within the last year or so, wth the exception of his connection with the Board of Trade Mr. McCray owns 891 acres of land and has an expert manager in charge of the tarni and the pedigreed cattle raised there. The farm is several miles from Kentland The assessment sheet in' the county auditor’s office shows that Mr McI rays residence connections with the farm are very remote. He listed at the farm, which is jn Grant township six beds and bedding and twelve rocking and other chairs valuing them all at $4.1.00. At his residen. ce in Kentland. however, he paid taxes on household furniture valued at $800 Bill'ard Table is Listed Among the interesting articles liste,j °n his personal sheet in Kentland. Mr McCray gave In a billiard table valued at $70. He also listed 1300 worth of diamonds and jewelry and gave $1,840 ns the amount of cash he had on hand the first of March, 1910. He gave in for assessment two and one halt automobiles valued at $900. A notation in handwriting j n connect ion with the automobiles reads: of Buiek to sister ” The total of his personal assessment i n Kentland is $4,320 In this connection it is interesting t> note that the total assessment of personal property on his farm is given as $120,325 the amount of in. suranre carried there is $150,000

CITIES OF U. S FAST PASSING RURAL FIGURES

WASHINGTON, Sept. 30—Cities are increasing in population seven and a half times as fast as the i ua! districts, the Census Bureau disc! -s- . d tonight in a compilation of figures covering approximately 85 percent of the new census The figures indicated fbat the coni on. led census would show the majority of the population to be city dwellers For the last ten years rural growth was but one third as great as it was in the previous decade, but the ciiies almost maintained their rate of grow th, getting five new inhabitants from jlOB) to 1920 for each six added during the preceding years. All popu. lation centers even the small county hamlets and towns, showed a greater proportionate increase than the purely rural districts. The greatest iir ct cases, however, were by cities of 70,000 or more inhabitants. While the bureau attempts no explanation of the reasons for the in. creasing migration to the cities, each year during the last decade, presumably higher wages, a shorter working day and home conveniences attracted the rural population, especially during the war when wages in big industrial centers went up rapidly

AMATEUR PILOT, BEGGED FOR THRILLS BY PASSENGER. CUTS LOOSE WITH FATAL RESULTS NEAR ORLAND, INDIANA — BOY’S DREAM SHATTERED— FATHER HAD MORTGAGED FARM TO BUY SHIP AND PROVIDE AIR TRAINING

LAGRANGE, Ind., Oct. 3.—DeVon Bartholemew, 21 years old, of Waterloo, Ind., and Cecil Keis, 20 of Orland were killed instantly at Orland, near here this afternoon when an airplane owned by Bartolemew crumpled under the strain of a long dive and crash 2(1 3,500 feet to earth. In the wreck, age was shattered a high school boy’s dream of flying fame, toward the realization of which his father had mortgaged his farm to provide the $5.00 for his aerial training and the biplane which dashed Bartholemew and his young passenger to death The tragedy is supposed to have re suited from Bartholemew’s wavering in an old resolution never to attempt stunts with a passenger Witnesses declare^ that Keis had appealed to the fiver for some thrills before they left the ground, hut Bartholemew at that time did not consent At an altitude of nearly a mile, the plane began an almost perpendicular dive. Apparently under control the ship dropped swiftly for about L000 feet. Then the wings folded seemingly when the pilot attempted to flatten out too abrupt. The broken ship drop ped like a plummet 3,500 feet to a open field. The shatered bodies of the fliers were found in their seats in the wreckage A baseball crowd witnessed the tragedy.

MAN TRIED TWICE ON CHARGE OF MURDER, THE JURY FAILING TO AGREE IN EACH TRIAL, HAD BEEN IN JAIL SINCE JANUARY 8—CASE I’ROBABLY NEVER WILL BE TRIED AGAIN

Following the disagreement of the jury in the case of the .State of Indiana against Lewis D. (Dike) Lemay of Clay county charged with the mur der of William Lawson, a neighbor on January 8, 1920. Judge Hughes this morning fixed Lemay’s bond at $1,000 Douglas Mullinix of Clay county a former Putnam county farmer, went on the bond and lAunay was released from custody Lemay has been continuously in jail since January 8, the day of the killing. Following the shooting of Lawson, Lemay went to Brazil and gave himself up. The jury in the last trial stood 8 for acquittal and 4 for conviction It is probable that the ca^e will never be tried again. That the State “ever will be able to convict Lemay is the general opinion and many believe that a third trial would doubtless result in acquittal, as new evidence dev. eloped in the last trial, which evidence could be developed strongly for the defense, could be used in another trial. Attorney Craig of Brazil and Mrs. Lemay were here this morning and Lemay returne,) to his Clay county home with his wife as soon os he had visited the jail and secured his personal belongings.

WHEN LIFE SHALL CEASE. A French Scientist Puts It Two Million Year* Heroe. Scientists tell us th»* lifs on the earth began about 2,00(1.000 years itRo. It lias generally been accepted that life will last M>.000.000 years. Ninety-five million years is a fairly long time. None of us who are alive tod; y nwed worry about what will U.l • p’are $5,000,000 years hence. Even the most altruistic can scarcely be inspired by love for an inconceivably remote posterity. Rut the French ssvanla are altogether disturbing. Her* comes one, M. Verronet, who says that the earth will permanently freeze within the next 2,000,000 years and that life will vanish. This is bringing the tragedy nearer home. We would gladly accept the older reckoning. Yerronet places mnrvkind of today about midway between the beginning and the end. He computes that in the future life w ill exist as long as It has already existed. He specifies only one forty-eightth as long a life as those who have studied In the past There is only one consolation to be derived from the Yerronet reckoning. As far as the infleunce of today is concerned. 2.000.000 years Is as good as 95 000,000. In either event those who are comfortably laboring today cannot expect lo te lovingly remembered when the cataclysm of lee makes the earth a barren wilderness.
