A Fierce Night Alarm Is the hoarse, startling cough of a child, suddenly attacked by croup. Often it aroused Lewis Chamblin, of Manchester, 0., (R. R. No. 2) for their four children were greatly subject to croup. “Sometimes in severe attacks,” he wrote, “we were afraid they would die, hut since we proved what a certain remedy Dr. King’s New Discovery is, we have no fear. We rely on it for croup and for coughs, colds or any throat or lung trouble.” So may you. Asthma, Hay Fever, LaGrippe, Whooping Cough, Hemorrhages fly before it. 50c and SI.OO. Trial bottle free.

MT. AYR. The Free Masons at Morocco have bought a corner lot in the business part of the city* on which they will erect a fine building. “Pat” Miller has sold his stock of restaurant goods to Geo. Lynch, the deal giving Geo. the entire run of the restaurant business in Mt. Ayr.

Farmers in this vicinity, as a rule, report plenty of rough feed, due largely to the absence of deep snows and excessive cold weather the past winter.

A Chicago paper is authority for the statement that a diplodocus 175 feet long hag been discovered in Utah. Gee that’s the longest diplodocus we ever heard of.

It is all settled now; we are to have an early spring sure. Sandhill cranes have appeared, and according to some of our local weather prophets, this is one of the early spring signs that never fail. X The Mt. Ayr Pilot reports a wreeli on the coal road through that burg. Possibly the engineer ignored orders and was trying to cover the ten miles between Mt. Ayr and Fair Oaks in a shade less than twentyfour hours.

The farmer who, last spring, tried the new-fangled scheme of sowing oats in with the idea that the spring freezes and thaws would cover the seed is making arrangements to do his seeding in the good old way this season. It would appear that writing is not such a poor job after all. For instance, there is our own George Ade. George now, owns 2,000 acres of Newton county’s deep rich soil, and a\|l at a cost of a few stub pens and’ a bottle or so of Seth Thomas ink. f . ' A 1

, Joseph Wright, one of Newton county's old pioneers, is dead at the age of about‘B4 years. Mr. Wright owned a good farm in this township, but had been a resident of Morbcco for the last several years. He was ;.. > wv . ,

an old soldier and a prominent Odd Fellow. - - iCC-,4-,'■/

As usual, we have a few farmers who are anxious to begin sowing oats. You just naturally can’t convince a certain class of men that spring—actual spring—doesn’t begin in northern Indiana before the first of April, and occasionally not before the first of June. ‘

That usually sensible and sedate bird, the barnyard hen, is acting mighty funny, according to the testimony of numerous housewives in this vicinity. Hens, it is said, are showing a general inclination to set, not a few starting in as early as the middle of February. As a result, there is a material decrease in the egg harvest, compared to this time last year.

Newton may yet be heard from as a maple syrup producing county. At the present time a number of sugar camps are in sucessful operation along the Iroquois river, George Herriman owning the largest perhaps, where something like 500 trees have been tapped. The flow of sap is reported as being the heaviest in years and the quality of the syrup exceptionally fine.

We drove intp Mt. Ayr last Saturday to ask the advice of “Daddy” Robertson, the Pilot editor, about applying for the position of cowcatcher on one of the tra/ns on our new electric railway, but “Daddy” informs us that there are already applicants for the job far in excess of the number of cows, and advised us to keep right on raising yellow dent--—at least, for a,nother year.

Land just over the Illinois line—no better than Indiana land—is sellig, it is said, for as much as $235 a acre, with buyers anxious to get it even at that price. Say, young man, if you expect ever to own a slice of this terrestial ball you’ll want to be getting a move on yourself pretty tolerably abrupt. What? Lon Bell, of Morocco, recently killed the largest wolf ever seen in this section of the country The animal jumped out of a brushpile and was smashing the world’s running record, when Bell pumped k bullet into its head, just back of its ears, causing it to perform the cartwheel act most beautifully. A Colfax township farmer told the writer recently that the proposed electric railway through this section of the country would never be built, giving as a reason that there were too many, “hinderin’ cawses,” and at times we are haunted by the fear that this farmer told the truth. These “hinderin’ cawses” not infrequently interfere seriously with our best laid plans. The writer once attended a religious meeting in the Ozark country, and at the conclusion of the sermon those who were seeking salvation were asked to come forward to the mourner’s bench. Among those who responded was a young, long-legged mountaineer, so constructed that a line drawn from his head to his heels would have cut him into at least four distinct and separate sections. His hair was the color of rye straw; he was in his shirt sleeves and he wore one blue jeans “gallus.” For almost an hour, and in a loud, far-reaching voice, this young man begged to be delivered from his burden of guilt, but without any apparent result. At the close of the meeting he cornered the minister and asked for a probable reason for his failure to receive the pardoning grace like any other white man. “Rest assured, brother,” replied the preacher, “there is some hindering cause, and you should examine your heart carefully with a view of discovering what this hindering cause is.” “Hinderin’ caws!” returned the young man in a voice vibrant with emotion. “Hindering” caws! Hain’t you all bin tellin’ me es I’d give myse’f up I’d power, and no blame questshuns ast, hu? And hain’t I give myse’f up? Hain’t I went for’ard fer fo’teen nights—fo’teen konsecertive nights?—and, now, here you cum mouthin’ ’round ’bout a hinderin’ caws. Blame you, I’ve a noshun to tan your hide now and yere—go to the dickens with your old fetch take meetin’,” and with that the young man turned abruptly and left the meeting house.

A Special Medicine for Kidney Ailments ney and bladder ailments and fronf Foley’s Kidney Remedy a quick relief and permanent benefit from kidney and bladder ailments and frim annoying urinary irregularities due to advancing years. Isaac N. Reagan, Farmer, Mo., says: “Foley’s Kidney Remedy effected a complete cure in my dase and I want others to know it.”—A. F. Long.

FOLEY’S KIDNEY PILLS Just the right medicine for backache, rheumatism, Bright’s disease and all urinary irregularities. Prof. Chas. W. Stewart, leader of the Citizen's band, Logan sport, Ind., says: “I suffered with kidney trouble for several years and neither doctoring nor medicine gave me relief but I constantly grew worse. My back pained me and I felt weak and tired. My kidney action was irregular ana painful and I was troubled with dizziness. A friend advised Foley Kidney Pills and I started taking them. I kept right up with the treatment and my symptoms rapidly left. I gained strength, my appetite picked up, the weakened muscles and tissues of kidney and bladder built up and their action became normal and regular. I can truthfully say that Foley Kidney Pills entirely cured me in a remarkably short time/’ —A. F. Long.

WORLD’S BEST EAR OF CORN.

Illinois Man Wins the Premium at National Corn Show Held at Columbus, Ohio.

The W. K. Kellogg National Com Trophy

R. A, James of Charleston ,111., has the pround distinction of having giown the best ear of corn in all the 3,125,713,600 busheis of last year’s bumper crop. At the National Cora Show just held at Columbus, Ohio, this gentleman was awarded the W. K. Kellogg National Corn Trophy, donated in 1909 by W. K. Kellogg, president of the Kellogg Toasted Corn Flake Co., of Battle Creek, Mich. Thousands of ears of corn from all parts of the country and of all varieties w r ere entered in the competition. The selection of the grand champion on Sweepstakes and the award of the Kellogg trophy were made on general points of superiority. The ear of grow-n by Mr. James is of Reid’s Yellow Dent variety. It is 10 inches lopg, 7% inches in circumference, and has 20 tows of kernels, 6 to the inch in the row, average % of an inch in depth, and 5-16 of an inch width. It is indeed a very correct type of yellow dent corn.' Mr. James, the winner, is a vigorous farmer about 40 years of age and of pleasing personality, a man w'ho has given careful study to corn culture, and who has achieved his success as a grand champion winner only by years of bard work and painstaking seeder-selection and careful breeding from season to season. Illinois growers are especially elated over the result for the reason that this is the first time in four years that the honors have been wrested from the state of Indiana, Last year’s champion ear, the drst winner of the Kellogg trophy was I grown by Mr. Fred C. Paiin, of New-

town, Ind, It was also of Reid’s Yellow Dent variety, crossed with Alexander Gold Standard. Last year’s winner is the most perfectly formed ear of the two, though it requirefs l ‘'ir careful judge to distinguish the points of superiority. The trophy awarded to Mr. James was made by Tiffany, of New York, for Mr. W. K. Kellogg, at a cost of SI,OOO. It is made of Sterling silver, bronze and enamels, and is a truly artistic creation. It stands 30 inches in height. Mr. Kellogg’s interest in corn growing can be understod when it is stated that the Kellogg Toasted Corn Flake Co., of which he is president, has an output requiring 10,000 bushels of corn a day, raw product, for its manufacture. A peculiar feature is that while the Kellogg product is made exclusively from selected white corn, the Kellogg trophy has been won each time by a yellow corn exhibit. The trophy is offered for annual compettion until won twice by the same grower.

World’s Best Ear of Corn for 1910

The National Corn Show at which the award was made, was an event of tremendous magnitude. At one of the sessions President Taft wa§ present and delivered an address.
