The company Is capital ized at $350,000. Its farm covers 300 acres, 284 of which are under cultivation. Walking with strides as long and firm as those of many persons half his age. Uncle Jack Higgins, Wabash county's oldest resident, returned to his home at Wabash recently from the Marion branch of the National Military Home at Marion, to observe his one hundred and second birthday anniversary. Although the Indiana State Reformatory at Jeffersonville is one of the state Institutions which is short of money and must be provided for by an additional appropriation by the special session of the general assembly, the Institution now, in fact, is actually paying Its way, probably for the first time in its history. In proceedings for contracts for highway improvements under the county unit road law, provision can be made for bids on the separate units. Instead of on the entire project, if It is desired, according to an opinion submitted by Ele Stansbury, attorney general, to II. K. Bishop, chief engineer of the state highway commission. After two amendments had been adopted, the house1 of the Indiana general assembly, sitting as a commltte? 0 fthe whole, approved an emergency appropriation bill providing approximately $800,000 for state institutions, state departments and state expenses. The measure was then passed under suspension of the rules by a vote of 87 to 0. Mayor ü. C. Brouse, at the meeting of the Kendallville city council, 'appointed Mrs. Capitola Michaelis to the position of city clerk to succeed her husband. O. E. Michaelis, who died two weeks ago. The city council unanimously approved the appointment. Two weeks ago the council refused to elect a woman as a member 01 the school board. Bills to abolish the public service commission were introduced in both the senate and the house. The senate bill. Introduced by Senator Alfred nogston of Marlon provides for the re-establishment of the old railroad

commission and the revival of the laws affecting that body, which were In the

statutes January 1, 1913. The house bill was Introduced by Representative

Itowbottoro of Evansville.

Indianapolis millers have not been buying any new crop wheat and have not contracted for any. They say the chief reason Is at present that the

price is too high, that exporters sold considerable wheat for Julj- shipment, that rains have delayed cutting, thrashing and marketing and that these buy

ers have to make prices high to gath

er up the scattered supplies ready for

market, so they can fill their contracts. . All grain dealers in Shelby county

have agreed on the payment to farmers of a premium for wheat which

tests No. 1 quality. The premium ranges from 3 to 5 cents a bushel.

Inability to obtain cars for the ship

ment of the grain is expected to re

sult In cautious buying by the dealers for a time. The elevator at Boggstown, Shelby county, has announced to the fanners that it will buy only 5,000 bushels, unless able to ship more, and will store grain up to 30,000 bushels for the farmers of the community.

St. Joseph county wheat will not be greatly damaged by red weevil or

wheat midge, according to the county agent. The experience gained last year has taught the farmers to fight the pest. When the fall plowing took place the furrows were made deep

enough to bury the insect In the pupa

stage. The practice of rotating the crops is also being follower! by the farmers. There is no fear of the Hessian fly this summer. As a result of

co-operative movement among farmers

in St. Joseph county, wool growers

have pooled their clip, amounting to 10.000 pounds, to be shipped from North Liberty to Chicago.

Thousands of dollars' worth of dam

age was done In Blackford county by

a hailstorm which covered an area two miles square, Including the county Infirmary fnrm southwest of Hartford City. Wheat, oats, rye corn and

other crops were destroyed, fruit trees

were broken down ami garden truck was cut to pieces.

Wabash county farmers will hold

the wool clip until higher prices can be obtained, ' according to announcement made- by the county agent. Farmers have about 8,000 pounds stored.

Contrary to genera! expectation, there- will be no- shortage In potatoes In St. Joseph county, according to the agricultural expert. The yield will be up to normal. Blackford county farmers have almost given up hope of being able to save the greater part of the wheat crop because of rains. Wheat cutting has not started In the county. Shelby county wheat being thrashed Is showing exceptionally well., On one farm near Lewis creek, the yield was 23 bushels to the acre. The grain tested CI to C3 pounds to the bushel. The board of review of Pulaski county has formed and placed on the tax duplicates $120.4G0 ha omitted property. Most of the sequestered taxables found consisted of intangibles, such as notes. '

Despite the fact that Knox county farmers say the present price of wheat Is too low, many are taking the wheat to the mills as fast as It Is being harvested. Vincennes millers are paying $2.00 a bushels for wheat that tests 00 pounds or heavier. Hobart is experiencing a building boom. New store buildings are going up, and more homes have been erected during the spring and summer thus far than has been the case during the last five years. The expansion of Industrial concerns is given as the reason for the improvements. Pavements are being laid also. Receipts in the division of fish and game under the department of conservation for the month of June were more than double those of June a year ago, a report of the division chief shows. The total receipts for the month were $4,3S7.S0, compared to $2.0S4.O0 In June, 1910. and $1.070.30 In June, 191S. Daily rains in northern Indiana during the last few days have made all the farmers in the region unusually optimistic over the crops. Following a poor start in the spring because of too much water,. the crops are not up to normal and the prediction is made by St. Joseph county farmers that the yield in corn, potatoes, alfalfa and hay will be large. Dr. D. R. Hogden. president of Hahnemann university, Chicago, has accept ed the presidency of Valparaiso university. Dr. Hogden will begin his labors at once and has adopted as the slogan of the Indiana institution "G.000 students within a year." The retiring president of the university, II. K. Brown, will fill the position of business manager of the institution. Power to order 100 per cent railroad cr service for mines supplying state Institutions with coal would be conferred on the state public service commission by a bill passed by the house of the Indiana general assembly. The vote was 7S to 15 after rules had been suspended by a vote of 75 to 18, permitting Immediate action. The measure" was sent to the senate. If the Vincennes section of the state Is not visited by a hailstorm or some other misfortune to the fruit, Knox county will offer to the market more than 50,000 bushels of reaches of the Hale and Elberta varieties, and almost as many bushels of apples. It Is believed. These figures cover only the commercial orchards of the larger size, and a number of smaller orchards have not been included. Co-operative buying and marketing Is planned by the Southern Indiana Leghorn association. The chairman of

the association said feed will be bought in cnrload lots to cut down the prices. The members of the association will ship eggs to Detroit and New York direct instead of selling them through local commission merchants. "They are paying 55 cents a dozen in Detroit and New York for eggs and we are getting but 3G cents a dozen here." the chairman added. Declaring that coal costing less than $2 loaded on cars at the mines is quoted to the state at $5.25 to $7.25 a ton, Governor Goodrich answered opponents of his state mine proposal who declare that "it. is a step toward state socialism. "I am not dealing with theories, but with a condition the governor says. He points to the wide range of manufacturing In state Institutions, the surplus product of which is sold In the general market. "I know just as well as I know that I live," he says, "that I can take an appropriation sufficient to purchase, operate or lease a mine and that I can mine that coal, place It on the car, oieratlng CO per cent of capacity, for less than $2 a ton. Following numerous complaints filed with Mayor James D. McDowell, the city council of Vincennes, which recently passed an ordinance compelling farmers to pay $25 a day to sell fruits and vegetables at retail In the city, has repealed the ordinance. The council took action after an attack against the measure, alleging that it was drafted by three members of the council who own and operate grocery stores. The Farmers' Federation also took action and threatened to open a public market in one of the downtown buildings and to sell produce to the consumer and refuse to sell to the grocers. It is understood that another ordinance will be drafted, with, the foodstuffs clause eliminated. Elmer. E. Stevson of Indianapolis was elected president of the Indiana State Bar association for the ensuing years at the twenty-fourth annual meeting of the association at the Indianapolis Country club. Commissioners of Montgomery county have refused to grant the petition signed by several thousand voters ot the coifnty asking for an appropriation of about $150,000 for the erection

of a memorial hospital In memory of

the soldiers, sailors and marines ot Montgomery connty who lost their lives In the war.
