NEWS from the COUNTY

JACKSON TOWNSHIP, NEWTON CO. It would be a poor rain that wouldn’t do some good just now. Mrs. Jane Makeever and daughter Nellie entertained visitors from Chicago this week.. Corn is looking well at this writing. A little more moisture would help the crop, however. Melon growers generally report a discouraging outlook for melons. Too much dry weather and too many insects. . “Harding will not resign his present office," says a head-line. Mr. Hughes probably has dropped him a word of advice. • This - should be a -good year for northern Newton county farmers. The weather for the last two months has been quite favorable for that locality. The - work of harvesting wheat and rye is in progress. The yield of wheat likely will be betTer than was expected earlier in the season. Rye is about up to the average. .

That keynote speech, delivered by Hank Lodge before the Republican national convention, revives the old saying about the folly of knowing so many thilngs that are not true. Charles Campbell, who operated a sawmill here two or three years ago, and who, with his family, moved to South Dakota, has returned to In-i diana and is now living in Shelby. If Bryan looks as he probably feels just now, the proverbial death’s head at the feast would no doubt bob up as the very embodiment of fun and amusemeut by comparison. A little Fair Oaks girl has been carrying the mail during Honest Abe’s sickness, ’ and the way and manner in which she makes that tin Elizabeth smite the highway is sure a wonder. The huckleberry crop—quite promising in the spring—failed to materialize. There will be no huckleberries in this locality this season. One more good rain would .make blackberries quite plentiful. The usual number of minor accidents,, attending cherry picking, are reported. These accidents are too numerous for individual mention and run all the way from a strained ligament to a fractured knee-cap. Walter Blankenbaker, who recently built the largest barn in Jackson township, is now constructing a fine new house of the bungalow persuasion. Walter wants to get things in good shape under a Democratic administration, while times are good. The harvest promises to be good

THE TWICE-A-WZEK DEMOCRAT

this year, as a rule, but. It present indications may be relied upon, the laborers will be few. In spite of about every -Inducement held out to term hands to stay on the farm, the stampede for jobs in the cities goes merrily on. Just now it looks like a good apple and peach year, but what another month or two will develop in fruit no one can predict with any degree of certainty. For the last two or three years apples have fallen from ' the trees before they were matured, and generally It is unwise to count heavily on peaches. Not so many years ago this locality raised lots of potatoes, but the soil seems to have lost to a large extent whatever element it possessed favorable to the growth of the tspud, and in , recent years farmers, as a rule, have bought their winter’s supply of potatoes. The outlook for a potato crop this season is not at all encouraging.

Daniel Schanlaub feels It incumbent upon him to put the eternal kibosh on the sugar trust, and to that end he is iinstalling a sorghum factory with all the latest in the way of Improvements. Daniel proposes to do everything himself in connection with this new Industry, except, of course, the actual work, for which Uncle Jake Stutsman, the famous molasses maker, has been hired. - Jay Makeever heard a ruction in his cornfield the other night and got up under the impression that old “Fred” had insinuated herself through the strands of the wire fence and negotiated the field of Yellow Dent. When he discovered that the disturbance was due simply to the rapid expansion of the joints of the cornstalks, in a mad effort to grow a foot before sun-up, he returned to his couch and soon was dreaming in. a loud,, open-faced manner that Indiana had rolled up a Democratic majority of 2,000,000,1 000. At times we are almost persuaded that the American boy bears a charmed life. The other day w<s saw a runaway in which a longIdgged bay team and the young son of Oscar Holley figured largely. The boy was plowing corn and in makiing the turn at the end of the row the horses took fright, overturned the cultivator, and for about three seconds team, cultivator, dust and boy were so mixed that an eye witness couldn’t have Xold where one began and the other quit to have saved his life. But that boy rose phoenix-like from the wreck, as sound as a dollar, and hurled a series of remarks after the fastfleeing horses, indicating thatl they were of canine origin and several other things. No, it is almost impossible to seriously hurt a boy. The other day 'we overheard a bunch of young men discussing the Bible, and after a loud and somewhat profane argument, seasoned liberally with cigarette smoke, it was unanimously agreed that the good old Book was a mass of errors from kiver to kiver. As these men grow older tßey will probably learn from sad experience that the Bible, among many other triAhs, contains one as durable as the everlasting hills. The heavy hand of time will force this truth upon them until they come to know that it is the bottom ground of human life. It is this: “Whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.” We may speak sneeringly -of the Bible and pretend to regard it as being a “back number,” but it contains facts —many of them —that the scoffer just naturally can’t get away from. Mr. and Mrs. Kenneth Deardurff of Morocco, took dinnpr at the home of Sidney Schanlaub last Sunday, and in the afternoon Mr. Deardurff visited the Rensselaer hospital with a view to getting a line on a tooth that was giving' him some trouble. Along about the standing high jump period of Deardurff’s youth: he essayed to scale the garden fence one morning, with the result that a bent wire on a telephone pole caught him in the jaw and held him dangling in mid-air, like a fish on a hook. To add insult to injury, the house dog, evidently laboring under the delusion that the whole performance was gotten up for his special benefit, leaped much above the earth, tore out the seat of Deardurff’s pants and otherwise conducted himself in a manner that was decidedly sportive. Injuries resulting to that tooth at the time have never been quite overcome.-

’That the Fourth of July., as an American festival day, is passing can no longer be successfully denied. We still meet—a few of us—on that day, and in a bored, sneering manner, witness an. automobiile parade and flying machine' stunt perhaps, but the real, screaming oldtime Fourth, with its sweat and dust,-with its enthusiasm and wilted paper collars, has as the young and innocent correspondent would write it, “disappeared from mortal view. The fife and drum, the blood stirring firecracker, the coach robbery on main street, the perspiring but enthusiastic country boy, the young farmer wiith his new buggy and best girl, the old farm wagon, containing dad, mother and the children, and incldently * a large hamper filled with pies, cookies, snow-white bread, huckleberry jell and fried chiicken, for the noon lunch, have utterly passed from the scene of action. Today the story of G. Washington, chasing the English over the rockbound coast of the raging Atlantic, on a cornbread and service-berry diet, stirs the blood of the modern Fourth of July gathering about as fnuch seemingly, as would the report of a local uprising In Siberia.

FAIR OAKS Ralph Yeoman of Hanna is visiting his uncle, Abe Bringle, this week. Abe Bringle and wife visited their son Arvel and wife at Remington the middle of the week. Ernest Zea and mother of Rensselaer visited at Will Warne’s a couple of days this week. Quite a few of the population of

FOUR CORNERS Wheatfield had a large crowd Monday and a nice social time was enjoyed by all. William Lawrence and wife of Medaryville visited over Suriday with O. M. Turner and family. Corn is making rapid growth and the farmers are making an effort between showers to “lay it by." A number of relatives and friends from the south part of the state are visiting with the Jeffers family this week. Dillman, the C. & E. I. agent at Wheatfield, has returned from an extended trip * with his family through different parts of the state. Dr. Solt of San Pierre Informs us that we were mistaken as to his political condition. He knows to a certainty just where he is headed for. May good, luck go with him. It would be advisable for one to look up the definition of “friendship and see if they measure up to the standard. This iff a word often misused. The wish of Republicans was not granted. They were in hopes that the Democrats at Frisco would dig up a bone of contention and add a new ray to their glimmering chance of success. O. M. Turner and wife drove to Medaryville Tuesday. Caught In the heavy rain of Tuesday evening they were compelled to remain all night and were obliged to detour to reach home Wednesday morning. Albert Davis and family of Flor* Ida, who have been away from Jasper county for about 23 years, are back on a visit. He sees great improvements in this part of Jasper

The ball game was won by the home team by a score of 8 to 3. One feature of the game that was lacking was that they forgot to cuss the umpire—Pat Maloney was too square to cause a dispute.
