Ia these days of sky tears, graft scandals and unrest of one kind and another, it is pleasing to rub elbows with that cheerful apo6tle of optimism, Colonel Timothy Englehardt of South Gary, who not only makes hay while the sun shines, but makes it when it rains. If we could have more philosophers of the Englehardt type in this world it would be a far more happy and a prosperous one, "We are all here together," says the king of South Gary, "let us all 'get together and stay together one for another each for the other. "Why we have the greatest county in the country," continued Mr. Englehardt, "if we would only cut out politics and get together." It is interesting to note that Mr. Englehardt is making a principality 'out of his domain. He has changed its map. He is domg" things' all the time, letting other fellows do the worrying, the fighting and the fussing Since he went to South Gary he has made a city out of it and its growth has been nothing short of amazing. And what or.e man can do, others can do, even if we can't all become Timothy Englehardts.
CIVILAZATION'S DEBT TO ITALY. For five hundred years or more the necessity for preserving the balance of power in Europe has resulted in a toleration by the civilized nations of the world of Turkish barbarism. The "sick man of the east" has been fighting sickness and while so doing has been guilty of the cold-blooded murder of Christians and of other unspeaekable atro.cilies that stamp the Ottoman empire as one of the most uncivilized nations of Asia.
One of the few times that the United States has meddled in eastern affairs it sent its fleets to Tripoli and put a stop to the raids of Barbary priate3 and received thanks of the world for its service. , But European nations have never followed the precedent established by the United States in this instance. No matter how many Armenians were slaughtered, no matter how heavy Turkish authority rested upon its subject natiens, the powers stood aside and tolerated it all for fear that it would precipitate an international conflict. The action of Italy is an exception. It is now doing what the other nations of Europe shrank from attempting. The fleets of Victor Emmanuel are being hurled against Tripoli and it is hoped that before the war is ended that Turkish influence in Asia will be a thing of the past and that Turkeye as an international bogey man will become a joke. It is safe to say that in the work that has been undertaken the sympathy of the entire civilized world will be with Italy and If the blood red flog of Turkey could be wiped off the face of the earth no one would be sorry.

the proceedings are as worthy of being watched as they are of being

A subscriber to this paper writes to inquire the cause, of the present war between the Moslems and the Italians. As we understand it, the trouble between Turkey and Italy, which culminated in a declaration of
war at Rome, dates back to 1878, when with the making of the treaty con
cluding the Russo-Turkish war, the powers are understood to have agreed
to permit Italy a "pacific penetration of Tripoli." Turkey claims that this
right has been respected ever since. Italy has colonized Tripoli until her interests in that African province are very great. She has asserted, however, that her subjects have been mistreated by the Ottoman authorities
and constantly discriminate against.

Continued storms today, in which more

Thousands of acres of late planted
corn is still too great to be gathered
and much of this will be lost. The
West Fork of White River, near Peters
burg continues to rise much faster than the East Fork, and the heavy damage is contemplated along West Fork. Bridges have been washed out In different parts of the county. Patoka River Is rising two inches an hour and threatens to overflow thousands of acres of corn. HIGH POWER KII.I.S AGENT. Luther Fry, of Newcastle, 35 years.

Although still alive athis father's home near Midland, physicians this afternoon say his injuries wi!l probably prove fatal. It Is now believed by the authorities that the men who did the cutting were the Fropp brothers, miners, who work in the Is
land Valley mines at Jasonville. It Is said that the Fropps were known to
have boarded the train at Jasonville
and to have lumped from the coach
while the train was some distance from Vicksburg. All attempts to locate
these men have been futile. Taylor
and Pros Edmonson, who were badly
cut during the fight on the car, will recover.
SENIORS GIVEN COI.D BATH. The senior and junior Classes of the Agricultural college at Winona Lake, engaged in a tug of war across a fifty feet wide canal Wednedsay, and the Seniors were dragged through nearly ice cold water to the opposite side. A two-hundred-feet rope wastretched across the canal for the pulling contest. Nineteen men were chosen from the senior class and twenty from the Juniors with an aggregate weight on each side of 2,830 pounds. The opposing side were placed on either
side of the canal, the first man being fifteen feet from the water. At the signal the boys took hold of the rope
and the tug was on. It lasted twenty
minutes. None setiied to be the worse

The Conservation Congress
(Fourth Article.) I One of the most Interesting addresses at the Conservation Congress dealt with the city-ward exodus and It was agreed that the very root and kernel of the modern farm problem- Is how. to retain on the farm all the boys and girls who are-lorn there who are fit to be farmers or farmer's wives. How can this be done only by making the farmers life and farm life worth living. All over the country there Is the beginning of a great social and industrial awakening. The farmer is beginning to "magnify his office," to cut loose from partisan bias, to do his own thinking and act for himself. He is paying better salaries to his school teachers, and insisting that the teaching have some relation to the life of the farm. He is buying his own automobiles, and paying casn for them. He is beginning to realise that farm life is essentially different form the life of the town. The man
who steps high because accustomed to walking over clods and has the far away look of one who studies the clouds. Is a different type of man altogether from the "man who glides along the pavement and to whom the weather is a matter of little or no immediate concern. The man who glances over the headlines of his dally' paper while he sips his coffee is a different character from the man who reads and studies the editorial of his weekly paper. The
farmer's wife is now organising5 her own elubs and giving her town sisters lessons In club work. The movement to organize life clubs is spreading. The boys and girls are organizing for games. The country church is beginning to realise its mission, and in several states country preachers are taking short courses ' in agricultural colleges In order that -they may teach morals and religion to farmers In ternn of their daily life. Alongside of this movement, back toward. If not always to the farm, the counter movement from the farm to the town, which has been going on for fifty years, continues with increasing and accelerated force. Farmers all over the older West move In great numbers or re-tire to the country towns: and notwithstanding all this constant Influx of population from the farms, these towns, as the late census reveals, have barely held their own and often have lost population, the natural increase of the towns themselves pouring Into the larger towns and cities. In which the majority livo with less comfort than the farmers who remain on their farm.
