The mid-summer meeting of the Indiana Editorial association will be held at Turkey Run Friday, July 30. The population of Fulton county, Ind., (Rochester county seat) hasbeen officially announced at 16,478, a decrease of 401, or 2.4 per cent, since 1910. In order to correct any mistaken impression which may have -arisen in this state concerning the so-called “Farmer-Labor” third party, officers of Indiana Federation of Farmers associations and state organization workers are calling attention to the fact that the association has no connection whatever with such movement. The result of an internal fight in the'coal miners’ union, it is said, has capped a strike in practically all the coal mipes in Illinois and

tied up half the mines in Indiana. Frank Farrington, head of the Illinois miners’ union, wants to succeed John I. Lewis as head of the national miners’ union, and is Ing to popularize himself with the miners. , A new kind of thief is said to have been apprehended at Reynolds/ White county. Hugo Kraud is the alleged culprit, and he is chargee with stealing gasoline from the Corn Belt garage. Friday - night it is charged he was caught in the act of filling a car with the fuel.
