An eight-year-old lad apparently with only one ambition, the acquiring of watches, was turned over to John Corrigan, police lieutenant assigned to the Juvenile court./ when the youngster was arrested for stealing valuable watches from a jewelry
store, f" -
Corrigan handled , the case in a rather unusnaJ way. but he is confident the proper result will follow and the tow-headed kiddie will not wander from the straight path in the future. „ He took the boy out and bought
him a watch.
When the lad first was brought into the Juvenile court. It was explained that he had taken a watch in a Jewelry store while the proprietor was not watching him. Investigation showed this was not his first watch theft. He had taken eight watches, aad had assumed jurisdiction over some clocks he had found in the rear of a second-hand store. — “That's not a bad boy." said Corrigan. after he had talked to the youngster for an hour. “He simply has a mania for watches. • Then the big lieutenant added, wit!

When Soil Is Ready to Work
[National Garden Bureau! Get busy as soon as the *6il is in condition to be worked. This is the most common advice to gardeners, but it has a kickback. When Is the soil in condition to be worked? Not Juet because the frost is out of the ground. It is a temptation to swing the fork or spade, but wait. Try only one spade or fprkful. If it turns over all in one piece, and a blow from the digging tool merely cleaves it at the point of contact, don’t dig any more. It is too wet. Don’t start digging until the soil is sufficiently dried out to break up easily. Nothing Is gained by too much speed. If It. is so wet that you leave a track, wait a bit. Your plants ought to be waiting in boxes, to be transplanted, at least a good part of them, or in a hotbed or cold frame. Wherever your foot sinks in. the soil is packed, and gives the makings of
a lump or clod.
If spaded or forked over while too
wet. you are hound to have a lot of lumps that will be troublesome, and you can not give tbe soil the proper tilth for seed sowing or for young
seedlings to be transplanted. The ground is in condition to be
worked when It will break up readily.
Don’t start before that time. HIGHER COURTS’ RECORD.

TONER SPEAKS AT WABASH Make* Flea tor Americanism aad OatUacs Platform. [Special to The Indianapolis News] WABASH. Ind.. March 27.—Edward C. Toner, of AnjJerson, Republican candidate for the nomination f for Governor, spoke before a large audience here last night, outlining his platform and announcing his views on questions of the day. He devoted much of his speech to a discussion of the absentee ownership of farms and the primary law. In regard to the primary law Mr. Toner said an effort had been made to repeal it several years ago and It waa only through his efforts that the law was’ saved. If the law Is killed both parties will return to the old "handpicked" candidates, he added. “The time has come when we must help the small farmer to become a landowner, instead of tenant and worker only," continued Mr. Toner, who also recommended that th* state board of agriculture co-oper-ate with Purdue University and the United States department of agriculture Involving the farmers' problems insteu# of conducting only ths state fair. X Discussing law /and order, Mr. Toner said: “I believe that a state executive ought to use, if necessary, the full power of the state to preserve the sanctity of our laws and institutions. I would go still farther than that and insist on the suppression of all wrongdoing, not merely some wrong-
doing."
Mr. Toner made a plea for Americanism. recommended the passage of a “blue wky" law. urged higher pay for school teachers, and recommended that a memorial be erected by the state in honor of the Indiana soldiers who lost their lives in the world war. He spoke briefly on the tax law. Mr. Toner was introduced at the
meeting by Fred Landis;
