THE “DUMPS” SEASON

During the next sixty days 25,000,5 000 bushels a little" more or a little less of Indiana wheat will be dumped on the market. If past experiences hold good this wheat will sell from the farms at the dumping price, which at this time is probably from $1.25 to $1.30 a bushel. And if past experiences hold true again, after a whilq the price will begin to move up, but only after 80 per cent of the whea} roughly speaking has left the hands of the farmers and gone into the hands of those who can hold it and profit by the rising market. The result will bg that the farmers, who grow the graing and sell it from the machine, again will take below the cost of production while theb uyers, protected by organiy zation and the ample supply ‘of ci'editzl that is available to organizations, will take all the profit out of the farmer’s. labor. The farmers will lose and faca another year of stress on top of . thea last: the business of the community will lose because of the further-des, truction of the farmers’ buying pows er; the banks will lose because of ins, ability to collect on accounts. | There is a little time left in which to stop all the dumping that will gq on in Indiana this year, just as it

has gone on in Indiana year after year, Thé dumping can be stopped but i can be stopped only by the farmen himself. If every wheat grower in Indiana would write to the offices of the Indiana Wheat Growers Association ask for a pooling contract, sigh it and hurry it back the dumping would be stopped over night. The tem-| porary over supply would be taken otfi the market, and the farmers them-| selves would hold their wheat, throu?hg their own association, until the season of glut had passed. The result would be a natural lifting of wheat price levels: the natural demand for Indiana’s fine soft wheat would be angmented ; the growers would get the, money that now goes into the pockets of the speculator and there would be rejoicing and no more “dumps” among the wheat farmers of the Hoosier statq You don’t believe it? only the farmers themselves can prove it. o

Hurt in Auto Accldent. . Two girls are in a serious condition in the Dr. Hostetler hospital at LaGrange from injuries received when, the automobile in which they werg riding turned over ox;.the state road) east of- that citv.

WHEN. FLIES PLAY POSSUM %xplapflng Why. the campllgn for : . 5 - G for . Thelr Extermination Should Be- . It is not only in the summer that the enemy of the fly should be busy, according to a bulletin issued by the cominittee on polution and sewerage of the Merchants’ Association of New York, but in the winter as well. . “Kill the winter flies,” is the burden of the committee’s appeal, and it declares that now is the time to begin pext: summer’s campaign, says the New York Evening Post. . “Most of last season’s flies, having Agmpleted their life cycle, are dead,” the ‘bulletin reads, “but those hatched have left their eggs in a favorable for incubation in the early pring, and these eggs will survive the Winter unless disposed of. They will :ntch out during the winter in an even' temperature. : . “These winter fiies will become the rogenitors of next summer’s count--3{0,88, billions. At the first approach of _oold ‘weather the flies seek warmth .and protection in houses and stables, From cellar to garret they hide in ‘\__m‘)oks and corners. Ketp them out. -Af any succeed in getting in, kill them. _ ;

" “Don’t trust the cold to kill them. Don’t assume that they are dead when wou ‘find them lying on floors or window sills in unused rooms. They are *playing possum’ and will revive when the temperature rises. : : ' “Clean up the house and give special attention to every out-of-the-way place where flies may lurk. Make sure there is nothing left which may harbor their eggs. One fly that survives the winter will become the parent of hundreds of millions next summer.”

Little Doubt That This Conflict Will . Be Productive of the Usuai ‘ Crop of ' Fakes.

" The experience of a New York} jeweler who was taken in by a brace 'pt swindlers operating as war refugees pnd a block of tin masquerading as platinum is no doubt but the first of ;el‘o'ng line of dupes.

[CONCRETE AND SEA W ORI 'Mg&flg m s . One of the largest construction coms panies in this country 1s making ex+ foties o Syt P Y n of sea water and upot lconcrete. Aecording- wmc’fi jspectus, the company made 24 cok jumns, each 16 feet long and 16 incheq {square, reinforced with jron bars neax chelr corners and in January; 1909, 'lmmersed them in t:: water: at .the 'Bos_tonr navy yard. At high tide the iwater almost entirely covers them, bug' ‘at low tide they are comipleétely’ ex: ,DOSed. Thus in cold weather the_ col \umns are alternately thawed and ?n-ozen. as the tide rises and falls. The 'columins are madeé with:various quall, ities of concrete—mixed dry, plastic, ‘and very wet—and also with different iqualltles of cement. Experts are studys /ing meflects of the addition of was jterp ng materials; clay and othep: isubstances are added from time tq }%flmefand the effect is observed. Many! years must elapse before it will be -possible to tell with certainty which kind of concrete is most permanent. “When last examined many of the coly umns were virtually unaffected; bu§ iothers were badly eroded. The col fnmns that contain the largest propor jtion of cement mixed wet have so fas ishown the least wear. Of two columng made with one part of cement to onq of sand and two of stone, the ong mixed dry was badly eroded over ity entire length, whereas the other, which ‘was mixed very wet, was only slightly pitted. The experiments, it {8 expected, will throw much light upon a prob {lem that has long perplexed construcs flon engineers.—Youth’s Companion. "

BROUGHT TO SINGLE SHEET

‘War’s Effect on European Newspa . pers Is Manifest in the Size of : the lssues. :

: No one can have failed to observql how greatly the size of his daily paper (has dwindled, how, in fact, everything (which entails the consumption of paPer exhibits a strict ecoonmy. This is ;,owing to the shortage of paper due to {the war, and it is quite possible that fif the war lasts for any considerable itime practically all English daily pa‘pers will consist of a single sheet. Al« ready this step has been necessitated in France. : ' ~ Some 15,000 tons of news and white paper in reel made from wood pulp “are consumed each week:in this couns try. Already the consumption has risen 25 per cent owing to the abnormal demand for war news—it would certainly have been greater were it not for the curtailment in size. Most iof the paper used in England—about 11,600 tons—is manufactured in this country, but about 2,600 tons comes each week from the continent and 900 tons from Newfoundland, ‘ The former source has already coms Dletely dried up, the immediate regult being to send up the price of paper which before the outbreak of \the war was about one penny & pound ito 1%~ pence. And it will probably ‘rise much higher.—English Exchange.

Helpfulness Sometimes Resented.

_ Bir Johnston Forbes-Robertson’s “Passing of the Third" Floor Back” made a deep amd lasting impression on Kansas City. It stimulates-a fing desire to be more charitable and kinds ly. “We remember,” writes Franklin P. Adams of New York, “the morning after seeing ‘The Passing of the Third Floor Back,” we felt more than usually unworthy, .and spiritual-reform was ‘working into.our calloused heart. A young woman, carrying an achingly heavy suitcase was walking up the subway stairs. ‘Let me help you,' we sald. ‘Don’t touch that!’ she cried, as ione about to bite. ‘lf you don’t stop annoying me, 11l have you arrested.! So, fearing the headline, ‘Bard Gets Jail Term for Mashing,’ we ran away, like the coward we' were."—Kansas City Star., =~ Vi

Birds Fly From Battle.

One of the war correspondents has noted the complete absence of :birds from the battlefields -of ' northern France and the consequent profusion of spiders and other cognate crawllni ithings: Birds always desert scenes o heavy gunfire; and; what is more, they often do not return for many years. All birds left the theater of war in South Africa, and it is-only now—l 4 years later—that they are returning. ‘Meanwhile South Africa haq suffered from.a vexatious plague.of ground insects—"tecks,” as. they.call them over there. It is mot supposed that the /African birds left the country, but that they merély retired to some re‘mote and peaceful part of the veldt.
