VISITS EASTERN PART OF STATE

Many Farmers Replanting There as Result of HainM. J. F? Ryan of Gillam has recently traded his old Pathfinder touring car for a fine Frtnklln, and last week with his family visited in Wabash, Huntington, Ft. Wayne and Payne, 0., returning home via the Lincoln highway through Goshen and South Bend. They were accompanied home by F. A. Coughian of Huntington, a nephew of Mrs. Ryan, who is in the U. S. Marine service and was home on a furlough. He has served 2>4 years in the Marines and has made twelve round trips across the "pond.” He has years yet to serve. Mr. Ryan says that they have had much harder rains over in about Wabash and’Ft. Wayne than here, and as a result the clay ground had baked so hard on the top after the corn was planted that it could not come through the crust, and many farmers were last week replanting.
