Dr, Wiley has received many letters froni his native state, Indiana, among them being one from Senator Kern who commends his stand and offers any aid that he can \turnish. Wiley’s enemies are-accused of playing for delay, and it is assert- - ed by his partizans that if the case comes up at the present time no harm would result to him. but it is feared that if the trial is delayed until the present wave of public sentiment is over his enemies might be successful in ousting him.

One of the biggest -companies recently paid $20,000 for a $lOO,OOO loan to partially make up for lack of capital to carry out.its agreements.

The victory is . Mr. Taft’s, but he owes 1t to the Democrats very largely, as he generously -admits in’ the statement that he yesterday gave out to the public. He was, ~beaten in Fbth houses by his own party. Yet it is, of courée, t.i'ue, that the " Democrats in the senate could not have put through the bill without re- - publican help. Twenty-one Republicans voted for it And twenty-four . against it, The-affirmative vote was: cast by thirty-two Democrats, eighteen regular Republicans and three insurgents. Against the biil were three Democrats, ten insurgents and fourteen regular Republicans. The ‘Democrats votedagainst amendnie_ntiafter amendment iy which they firm1y believed, but they did it because they fealized that the immediate business in hand was the adoption of the reciprocity bill. ~ -~ ~ Nowe areto see whether the insurgent.

The Democrats have offered bills, and they will offer others designed to cure whatever de- . fects there may be in the reciprocity agreement. The house wool bill and the house free list bill ought to pass. But the insurgerts are . disposed to kill them bothin favor of bills of their own —bills which it will be very hard for any Democrat to vote for. It seers to.us that it is unfair to ex_pect all the concessions to come from the Democrazs.

A DITETY( By Sir Philip-Sidney .

DEATH OE JUDG@ BIGGS . One of Warsaw’s Most Hdikn,ored Citizens ' ' Passes Away ; - Warsaw, Ind., July 20,—Judge Hiram S. Biggs, who had been an invalid for almost nine years, passed away Thursday morhing at.his home on East Center street. He was born in Prairie township, Koscinsko county in 1835. In 1865 he was admitted to the bar'and was elected to represent the county in the Indiana legislature in 1870. When Warsaw was incorporated as a city, in 1875, Judge Biggs was elected the first mayorand was again re-elected in 1877. He served a term of Bix years as judge of the Kosciusko circuit court and was prominent politically and socially. During his long illness he received the most devoted care from his wife and children. Qne son, Arthur Biggs, is an attorney, aud lives at Ligonier, Donald Biggs, the younger son. is a resident of Detroit. and the only daughter, Mrs. Fred Tucker. resides in'this ¢ity. - At the heydey of his.career, Judge Biggs was one of Warsaw’s 'most prominent and successful attorneys. Only. a few months ' following his election a 8 Judge for a second term thathe was taken ill which entireyincapacitated him'sjnce. Judge Biggs bad a kind and bensvolent heart and was'steadfast in his friendship. Since his ill health - fofced his withdrawal from the legal fraternity none has missed h im more than the lawyers themselves, for he was ever ready to giwe counsel upon hard legal Iysoposisiolls.~ : Judge Biggs ~was always a staunch Republican, and in every office to which he was eleoted -he performed its duties devolving upon him with credit to himself and to his party. He was public spirited to a remarkable degree and never missed an opportunity to -advangce theinterests of the city. —The Korg Wayne Journal Gazette. o

Concerning Public Health. The state poard. of -health is conducting & campaign to make effectiye the pure focd and sanitary laws, Tijase laws make all health #fficers deputy-food iftspectors of| the state board of heafth, (if _their salaries were a 8 long a 8 their titles we. might fairly hope fer greater good.) This provision is ‘expected to b‘}li‘ld'up in the state a corps of skilled men who are sworn to enforce. the ?bod laws, and places in local hands the regulation of local markets. Like many other laws that cumber our statutes this one provides beautifully . for some salaried officials who may reside at the cmpital or make trips about the state at public expense to descant loudly about progressive ideas: while the local man really does the work. assumes the responsibility and itakes all the cussing and bitter enmity of nhis neighbors for the sake of the public good.. e T Several inspectors are kept in the field constantly but as each has more than twenty counties vo visit it obviously- is impossible for them to compel thorough compliance with the laws throughout their territory. This is the local man’s duty. A-state inspector is available whenever needexl to train an assistant, solve a specidl problem or to take up inspection work. But the state board specifically says that such an inspector must be comnsidered only as an assistant to the local officer and not held personally responsible for law enforcementin their jurisdiction,

The state board wants the local man to become expert in the enforcement of safiitary and food laws and will supply him /witl_) all the instruction elips, blanks, inspectioq' cards, etc, which he may have occasion to use. - Moreover the selection of some competent layman to carry out the work of a deputy is urged, and the board.will give him sufficient training to make him proficient in his duties. This training will ‘'be given either at his home or at Indianapolis. The would-be deputy is not informed as to whether this training will be given gratis or whether he will be expected to pay current rates for professional instruction, In order'that the results of local work may be known the board very properly asks for monthly reports to the head office,-showing the number of inspections made, the conditions found, notices served and prosecutiogslngtigated. Appropriate blanks will be furnished for this purpose. The whole plan is good and we are old-fashioned enough' to admit that the loeal part of the arrangement is in harmony with time-honored doctrine. but ‘we wonder sometimes if it would affect the efficiency of some of these machines if the salary and the honor gearing were interchanged.

THE END OF TUBERCULOSIS Civic Less Through School. " Sickness. e By DR. LEONARD P. AYRES. Figures™from Germany, England, -Sweden and seven American cities indicate that in -the average city school system the children who are in need of such treatment as that afforded by the open air schools constitute from 3 to 5 per cent of, the entire school membership. This means that Albany, for example, should have open air schools in sufficient numbers to care for .300 children, while—New York city needs acconymodations for 20,000. When such “figures as these are mentioned the objection of expgnse looms high at once, but it must not be forgotten when we are. considering expense that a thousand children of school age die each year of tuberculosis. in New York city. On the average they have eaeh had about six yvears of schooling, for %vhich the city has paid about 's2so. This means a quatter of a million dollars loss each year in the great city in money expended on educating children who die of tuberculosis before growing up. A quarter’ of. a million dollirs a vear spent in ogen air ‘schools designed to prevent this frightful waste: would go far toward meeting the entire expense.

4 Rubber Mills Close. The clbs,ing of the Mishawaka Woolen Manufacturing Company’s mills by which & large number of employess are thrown out of work gives rise to afcondition but little understood lz a community whose business enterprises rest almost entirely upon farming interests. We scarcé~ ly can conceive of what would happen in Noble county if 2,000 people were to be thrown out of employment on-any one day. If we. would stop to think more frequently of the economic conditions In our great manufacturing centers we might lesson the harshness of some of our criticisms of labor disturbances, and might also feel that, the establishing of great manufacturing enterprises is not always an unmixed blessing. Unsatisfactory conditions in the rubbgr business are given as the reason *for, laying off for an indefinite period 2,300 hands at Woongocket, R. I. and 2,000 operatives at Bristol, in the same state. o c 3 .

These people and their families make a good-sized army whieh in some way must be fed and cared for. They are none the less worthy of consideration because they constitute whak fairly might be called an industrial army and do not wear a specified uniform. Organized society owes it to itself to devise an industrial system which will elimiinate the necesity of these sudden and unwilling additions to the ranks -6f the unemployed. - :

Stock Judging Gontests at Fairs. That the fair associations of the state of Indiana realize®the importance of maintaining their fair upen an educational bagis is borne out by the fact that over 50 per cent of the fairs to which :n opportunity to install at their own expense a two day ecurse in live stock judging, conélading the second day with a contest for boys 'between the ages of 15 and 20 years, accepted the offer. Premiums amounting to as high as $4O are offered in some of these contests, in many cases the firast premium being ‘a free trip to the state fair at Indianapolis, or atrip to the short course for farming at Purdue School of Agriculture, Liafayette, Ind, - = .

A Purdue man will attend each fair for two days, Thefirst day and a half will be devoted to giving instruction in live stock judging; the second day will conclude with the judging chntest.in which contestants will be required to judge, place, and write reasons for placing a class each of horses, beef cattle. lard hogs, and mutton sheep or dairy cattle. The classes 'of instruction are open to everv one in attendance at the fair, and the contest to anfr boy of proper age who has never. been regularly enrolled as a student in any agricultural school or college.

- THE INDIANA APPLE Save your Apples for the Show at Ind® B v anapolis o I'ne Indiana apple has started on itsmarch 'to the front. The state has every ad vantage of goil, elimate, markets and transpor tation facilities to make it the grea apple producing state of the middle west. - This is not the opinion merely of a few enthusiasts, but is admitted by all horticultural authorities. It is proved by the experience for years past of sucdcessful Indiana apple growers, and is the sober conviction of all whose familiarity ‘with the horticultural resources of the state, make their judgment of any value. . ’ YL eEE The great majorify of Indiana fruit growers .are wide awake and up-te date. Insects and diseases are being controlled in ladiana ‘orchards, by means of modern scientific patpliarnces, with jnat as much success a 8 they are being controlled anywhere. People everywhere are beginning to realize the financial opportunities offered by modern fruit growing. F.ast year one Indiana grower made a little over $1.200 per acre on a block of Grimes. He estimates about three quarters of this as net profit. Profits of from $lOO to $4OO per acre are not 'at. all unusual among th> better apple growers of the state, : o The quality of Indiana apples is second to none and, in the opinion of unprejudiced experts, is far superior to the quality of apples from scme sections of the west and northwest. This is proved by the premiums for quality which ludiana apples have won at the National and luternational shows ‘during the past twenty-five years, ' " The realizhtion of the possibilities in the growing of good fruit “here at home’ is ‘already beginning to spread. Desirable orctiard lands are being looked for, 'large '‘commercial orchards are being set and development companies are being formed to bring to the attention of the country at large, the unsurpassed product of our orchards. : 5 | With this alert iuterest in frait growing manifest in all parts of- the country, the time is peculiarl«y‘ifi.p: propriate for the holding of this first big Indiana show. It is time for fruit growers to become better ac‘quainted. It 'is time to 'take account of stock and to learn just.what is beingdone so that we may improye more rapidly. It is time ‘to show our friends and competitors just how much progress has already been made. s

The undeveloped orchard lands of Indiana constitute one of the most impormnt natural resources of the state. Many communities are already producing exeellent fruit and many more have; ideal natural advantages for fruit'growing which are unrealized. The Indiana Apple Show to be held next fall offers the best possible opportunity for en-teljprisi-ng communities t 6 exhibit their fruit growing resources and 8o improve the yalue of their own land and attract capital to develop their dormant possibilities. . : ' The fact should net be lost sight of that the forthcoming show 18 not ‘merely a display of fruit, (although it will doubtless be the best display of fruit ever seen in‘lndi%na) but it is . a state show, backed by the state authorities and standing for the development of Indiana fruit _growing in all'its phases. The purpose of this show is to help every fruit grower to help himself. The more good fruit grown in a locallty, the better it ‘is for eachfruit grower. While it is desired to bring out a large exhibit of fruit to beuefit the state as & whole, yet the several thousaud dollars which will be offered in° cash -preminms will make it imposgible for anyone ‘growing good drrit this season to afford to stay away. KEspecial attention will ‘be given to the small orchardists. A large number of premiums will be offered (in cash) for small displays. Another class is provided for commercial growers who will wish to enter large quantities of fruit. -

. For saving and packing th§ following instructions should be observed. Pick fruit by -hand: _Handle each apple.as if it wers an eég. Get itinto cold storage with the least possible delay. Pick when mature: and well colored or a 8 soon as the stem breaks off easily, ~Discard all defective apples, No scabby or wormy fruit will be allowed to compete for a premium, The stem should not be pulled out. Wrap each apple_seperately and pack in barrels or boxes. each kind by itself. Save enough fruit so that, when arranging it for exhibition, you will have some to select from. For a bushel box save about & bushel and' a half of " fruit, For a tray save forty to fifty apples.

It may be desirable to pack some late varieties in the orchard. Ifthis is done, be sure to use every possible care to get a good pack. For box and tray packing see that the fruit you save is carefully graded and all of the same size and color. Itis impossible to make a flrst-class pack with various sized fruit. = This is an Indiana show, Only Indiana grown fruit can compete. There will be no entry fee required for exhibits. Exhibitors. will be required to buy an exhibitors tickot at $1.50, which ticket will be good for free admittanee to each session of the show. & _ ,

Items from Lake Wawasee . “ A convention of the young people’s alliance of the Kvangelical Association is to be held at Oakwood Park early in August. This bédy convenes once every four years-and this meeting promises to be one of great interest. . Delegates and speakers from all'parts of the United States and Canada will be present. . The rough condition-of the lake is yiven as the reason for small attendance at .the special meeting of the Wawasee Protective Association.* A proposal will be made to_reduce the annual fee from ten dollars to-five dollars. An effort will be made to have some inter-urban extend its line to the lake. Some traction line officials have summer homes at the lake and it would seem that they might be willing to consider the matter if they felt that the owners of cottages and patrons of the lake were interested in such a project. Something must be wrong with the Lake Wawasee Publici%y Department when South Bend peeple make the mistake of thinking that Lake Wawasee and Winona Lake are one and the same. Just this mistake was made last week.' Sixty members were presente at the meeting of the Onion Growers Association at the Inn last Tuesday. Seventeen new members were taken in. Noone but members were allowed to be present at the meetings, and the particulars of discussions held are not supposgd to be published. -If ‘an onion trust. was formed there. is no doubt that -it will prove a strong one. A fish dinner was served by the Inn management and is said to have been a feast long to be remembered.

Four Goshen boys, Donald Stiver, Ed Smiley, Rollin Kelly and Harry Woodford thought they would do something original to spend their vacation so they conceived the idea of canoeing to Lake Wawasee.

PROFESSOR KING of the Wisconsin Experiment Station, recent- . ly said:--“In general farming there can be no question but that it is much better to follow the practice of giving frequent light dressings of manure to land, rather than to apply large amounts at long intervals.” ' 7To secure thie best résults, manure must be spread evenly, covering the. field like a carpet and not thrown around in big bunches. To spread perfectly by hand is out of "the question on account of the time and labor involved, hence a machine is necessary; but thus far few machines have béen - made that can lay the manure in even an approximately smooth layer. For years manufacturers have been trying to devise a Deater that would spread evenly and wide—with the result that the machines have wide bulky" affairs, on account of being equipped with straight Beaters. | THIS HAS BEEN ENTIRELY OVERCOME WITII 3; - THE CIRCULAR BEATER AS APPLIED TO THE .
