NEW TRAIN ON MONON

Traffic Ties to be Severed With C., H. & D. on Daylight Trains. The fact that the Chicago, Indianapolis and Louisville Railroad, which is better known as the Monon, will sever traffic ties August 27 on daylight trains so far as the Cincinnati, Hamilton and Dayton Railroad is concerned, became known in Cincinnati yesterday. The Monon will put on a new train, to be known as the “Hoosier Special,”, between Indianapolis and Chicago, and will not make connection? with C. 11. & D. trains 30 and 33 after the final Sunday of this month. Cars for the new train are now being built in the plant of the Barney & Smith Car Company, Dayton, Ohio, and railroad men who have inspected them declare they are the latest and most up-to-date equipment that will be seen in the middle west. The two roads have been discussing the matter for about two months, and up to yesterday managed to keep thp fact a secret. When C„ H. & D. officials learned that the news had leaked out and that it.had been confirmed by the Monon they admitted that the break was due to come. The C., H. & D. made every effort to maintain the traffic ties, but the Monon decided that it would sever them on the date mentioned.

The Monon seems determined to start a war with the Big Four on Chicago business out of Indianapolis, but why the step will be taken has not been revealed. The “Hoosier Special” will leave Indianapoljs a few minutes before Big Four Train Nca 21, which leaves Cincinnati daily at 12:20 p. m. arrives in Indianapolis at 2:25 p. m. This will be done with the expectation of getting business that now goes to the Big Four, but railroad men who have - kept figures on the traffic out of Indianapolis declare that there will not be enough traffic to justify the running of the train, this_heing due primarily to the fact" that the Chicago business originating in Indianapolis will not be heavy enough to pay operating costs of the train. The C., H. & D. has been a good feeder for the Monon on Chicago business, as travel out of here over that road to the Windy City has always been heavy. It has not been determined by

trre C.. H. D. how it will handle Chicago business, but as it is controlled by the Baltimore and Ohio connection will be made with that road at Deshle'r, Ohio, a junction point of the two lines.

The C., •*!.- & D. has a train Out of Cincinnati at 1 p. m., which arrives at Deshler at 5 :34 p. m., and the B. and O. could run a train over its tracks from Deshler to make connections for the run to Chicago. It is ejected that the Big Four will get into the game by having train No. 21 leave Cincinnati at noon, instead of 12:20

p. m., which would necessitate a change of time in the “Hoosier Special,” which the Big Four would again meet. Contant changes in time would baffle the traveling- public, and other roads will get the benefit of the “war.” Cincinnati railroad men yesterday declared that the act of the Monon is beyond comprehension, as it will not get any lasting benefit from the new train, and it is predicted that within three months it will beg the C., H. & D. to renew the traffic ties. What the C., H. & D. will then do is a matter of conjecture.

Beyond admitting that the break was due for August 27, C.. H. & D. officials declined to discuss it, stating that there was a possibility of averting the trouble, and that they had hopes of seeing the Monon reconsider the matter. At the present time, however, there seems very little prospect of it. The present plans of the Monon do not contemplate any change in night service with the C., H. & D.—Cincinnati Enquirer.

LETTER FROM WHITELY CO.

, Columbia City, Ind., Aug 7. Mr. F. E. Babcock, Dear Eidtor:—l occaslonly see letters in The Democrat worn former Jasper county people, telling of their respective sections of country, so I thought I would send you one from our (Whitely) county. Everybody seems to be well satisheld bere; we have nothing to complain of. Our crops are- all very good. Wheat is making from fifteen to thirty-five bushels per acre and sells at 81 cents; oats from forty to seventy bushels and the price is 36 cents; hay from a ton to a ton and a half and worth sl4. Corn looks good, but needs '.rain: Fruit of all kinds is plentiful. Apples are of the finest quality they have- been for many years, being practically free from worms which so often spoil the fruit not sprayed. Eggs are 17 cents and cream 22 cents taken right at the door by the man who gathers them through the country. People are plowing for wheat now, the ground is dry' hut they turn it over anyway. It is a little cloddy but they roll it and ggt it in shape. Yours truly, W. B. YE6MAX.

FROM NORTH DAKOTA.

Thos. Callaghan Tells of Crop Conditions About Minot, Dear Editor ana Jasper Friends: Seeing many letters ftfpm various states and " especially from North Dakota printed in our good old paper, The Jasper County Democrat, remembering my success last year, I decided to try again and write to my friends through this paper. Last year I spoke of our hopes for a booming crop this year. Well, that hope is not fulfilled, although the greater per cent of the North Dakota farmers will have a fair if not a large yield. We are today enjoying a crop helper in the form of good old soaker which reminds us of one of Jasper county’s steady rains. It will make a g6od yield for all of the later crops and we still may have a boomer crop in such things as oats, flax, millet, potatoes and all truck.

We are glad to report that the former Jasperites, now North Dakota citizens, around here are enjoying good health and in the main, fair prospects.

We were pleased to find this year that we can go berrying even in North Dakota. We would be glad to go berrying with any Jasper friend who would present himself with a pail and desire to go. Great quantities of June berries, chokecherries and wild plums grow along the Mouse river about five’ miles distant, and also out on our prairies. We could take you buffalo berry picking earlier—in the spring. Well, not to tire the friends who are reading this, I will close, hoping that already I have not taken too great a space. So just saying this, that we hope our Jasper friends are enjoying good health, as we are. and sending best wishes to each and all, we are Yours sincerely,

SLOGAN OF STATE FAIR

EDUCATIONAL WORK CARRIED ON FOR TWO GENERATIONS . I ' ______ '. V ' i » “Back to The Farm’' to Be Especially Emphasized at Big Exposition Week of Sept. 4.

With “back to the farm’’ as its slogan this year, the Indiana State Fair will, during the week of September 4, get closer to the agricultural interests of the State than it has ever been before. The Indiana Fair has for nearly sixty years been a powerful educative force among the farming and live stock element and, while never departing from this leadership In promoting the farming welfare, it has sought to quicken the interest of its visitors by offering rich programs of attractions. But for the coming Fair the exposition will concentrate practically its entire energy in spreading before its friends a magnificent display of all that is best within the State that the farming element may see in a great bird’s-eye view what the agricultural and live stock resources of the State amount to. It Is not proposed to measure these resources in dollars and cents, but by exhibiting the best horses, cattle, sheep, swine, poultry, orchard and field products, show what the State ifc producing in quality. From other States, too, as in other years, will come specimens of live stock which will offer means of comparison with these products from Indiana.

The “hack to the farm’’ movement does not mean that the Indiana Fair is going to tie the men and women who visit it to sober programs requiring brain-fagging effort to get the educational values, but each day’s affairs will be spiced with clean and wholesome entertainment. Less emphasis will be placed on the lighter forms of entertainment, however, but the band concerts, live stock parades, the Parker midway shows will afford abundant diversions for the pleasure seeker.

In the night shows, and in the day exhibitions of live stock and other regular departments the displays will keep pace with the high degree of excellency which now marks country life in Indiana. The horse show will be of such quality that vaudeville features will not be necessary to enhance its value. The farmer who is interested in shorthorn cattle will find these animals in such quality and abundance that if be desires he may spend two or three days at the Fair studying the good points of animals that are brought before his eye.

'The farm woman who is especially interested in poultry will find the Fair offers an endless amount of information along this line, or if she is particularly interested in her home dairy she may spend the entire week at the Fair, if she so desires, and give the time to a study of dairy methods.. The State Fair, in fact, proposes to become a higher school of information along all lines which will enable the farming people to improve their crops, herds and flocks and in this improvement bring greater wealth to themselves.

A short course September school, when work at the farm may for the time be put by,—a school for the farmer, his wife, sons and daughters, an inexpensive and effective college course in agriculture and industry—this is the Indiana State Fair. Setting off one superb herd against another, one breed of poultry matched against another, field products from one portion of the State seeking greater favor than the products from another section, giving the visiting farmer opportunity to make comparisons, all will tend toward giving the visitors schooling of the valuable and pleasant sort. Of course, it is the ambition of the exhibitors to win prize ribbons, may be to dispose of 3ome blooded stock to a farmer that is ambitious to improve his home herds, that brings the highest quality of exhibits to the Fair, but this competition is lost sight of by the visitor who would make of the Fair an educational force and turn it to his personal account. It is this line of educational work that the Indiana Fair has been doing among the farmers for two generations, and the exposition may to very large degree be credited with having brought about better homes, better farming, larger and finer herds, more industry through the use of better farm machinery, increased happiness, more money in bank—in fact, a new era of better living at the farm homes of the Hoosier land.

State Fair Open at Night.

The Indiana State Fair, at Indianapolis the week of Sept. 4, will be open at night in a number of departments and it will be the first year in the history of the exposition that the night displays have been undertaken on such extensive scale. The coliseum with its horse show's, and the big brick barn for horses adjoining it, have for some years been gay with light and coloring after night, and in one or two years the Fine Arts hall has been open for about two hours in the evening. But during the coming Fair, the coliseum show and the brick barn will not only be lighted and open to visitors, but the Fine Arts, Agricultural, Horticultural and Poultry buildings, all of them arrayed with their wealth of Indiana farm and home products, will be brilliantly illuminated and open to all visitors without extra charge.
