A petition is being circulated in Boone township, Porter county, in which the town of Hebrou is located, askipg that a special election be called to vote a one per , cent subsidy for the proposed La-fayette-Chioago electric railroad. Owing to the small number of bidders present the Barrett farm northeast of town that was advertised to be sold at public sale last Saturday, was not offered. lso doubt the uncertainty of future farm values was responsible for * the few people in attendance.

The family will be installed in a home here in the very near future, Mr. Leopold having been here this for the purpose of securing a house., The many friends of Mr. and Mrs. Leopold Will welcome them back to Wolcott. D. M. WorlancCw«if jelled to St. Paul, Kans., Saturday afternoon by the death of his mother, Mrs. Emelina Worland, whose death must have been quite sudden, as only a few days before receiving the dispatch announcing her death the family had received a letter from her in Whioh she stated that she was feeling' quite well exoept for a slight trouble which she thought was asthma. Deceased was about 66 years of age. 4

The G. E. Murray Co. bad put on a great money saving sale. . A new high class serial of absorbing interest will appear soon in The Demoorat. Watch for the opening chapters. The wiping out of the saloons at Eentland is said to be the first time that town has been without a licensed saloon since the town was organized, in 1860, or fiftyseven years ago. W. C.

Eleven deaths from injuries received in football had occurred this season up to last Saturday, according to published reports from different parts of the oountry. The list is no doubt incomplete, for it is not likely that near all the fatalities directly traoeable to this “sport” reach the metropolitan papers. The fatalities as published for the past four years, with the 1907 season a few Weeks yet to run, shows that in 1904 there were 16 fatal accidents in the game; 1905, 21; 1906, 17. Considering the comparatively few young men who engage in this deadly pastime and the few weeks composing the season, we do not believe there is any hazardous undertaking that shows such an enormous loss of life. Then think of the hundreds of broken limbs and arms and tbe great number that are permanently crippled.

Little Harold Nowels was brought home from Chicago last Friday and is now being treated with massage and electric batteries for his paralysis at the home of A. Leopold. He is thought to be somewhat better than when taken to Chicago and can move his limbs better. He is said to be getting along nicely and it is thought will completely recover. It is reported that there are two more cases of infantile paralysis here, one in town and one in the country, but not as severe ones as the Nowels boy: ~~~Th.ie disease, by the way, is practically^new to medical science and has thus far baffled their skill to a great extent. It has shown an alarming inoreasein New York City in he past year, almost twenty fold, and doctors are puzzled regarding its cause and treatment. We understand it is not a disease that results in fatalities but it frequently leaves its victims crippled. It is peculiar to small children and generally affects the legs and arms, sometimes both.

PURDUE UNIVERSITY DAIRY SCHOOL.

The Short Course in Dairying and Creamery Buttermaking at Purdue University, Lafayette, Ind., will start January 20, ’OB. The course will extend over eight weeks and will oovet instruction in Farm Dairying, Creamery Buttermaking, the Manufacture of Ice Cream, Cheese and Condensed Milk. This work is intended to acquaint the student with the knowledge of produoing, economically, milk that is clean and Banitary, of making butter in accordance with up-to-date methods of oreamery and farm buttermaking, of manufacturing cheese and ice cream, of the manipulation of the Babcock test to obtain reliable results, of testing butter for moisture, and of managing the oreamery in a way satisfactory to both the faotory and the patron. About one-third of eaoh day is devoted to olassroom work and leotnres, while the remainder of the time is spent in the dairy and oreamery laboratories and in the test room. The student is surrounded as nearly as possible with those conditions which will confront him in Indiana. . The University does not guarantee to famish positions to those who have taken this coarse. However, the demand, for firet-olass men who have training by far exceeds the supply, a «faot which enables ns to assist most, if. not all bright, earnest students in pouring satisfactory positions.

TETER BUYS A CHAMPION.

J. A. Teter recently purchased a Junior Yearling Duroo Jersey boar, of H. 8. Allen, Russell, lowa, that for royal blood lines oannot be duplicated in the herd books of America. He was sired by Crimson Wonder Again, ohampion boar at lowa state fair 1906; he by Crimson Wonder I Am, Champion boar at lowa Btate fair 1905; be by Crimson Wonder, the great prize winner at Nebraska state fair, 1904. His dam, Nell A, was Champion sow at lowa state fair 1905. So far as breeding goes, this is all that could be desired, and Mr. Teter tells us he is individually as good as his breeding, being exceedingly heavy boned and standing firm on the very best of feet and legs. The fact that he onst Mr. Teter more than any red hog that ever came to Remington, is evidence of bis faith in him, and good judges have pronounced him one of the best red hogs in America. This will be a strong addition to Mr. Teter’s herd, which was already one of the largest producers of prize winners in the country. — Remington Press.
