POLITICIANS WHO ARE BUND

Wrapped Up In Their Own Ideas, They Refuse to Recognize Any Change In the Times.

Report of the condition of the Com Exchange State Bank at New Richmond, in the State of Indiana, at the close of its business on February 4, 1913.

As the philosopher is apt to fail in the routine of political life, so the ordinary statesman is also apt to fail in extraordinary crises. When the face of the world is beginning to alter, and thunder is heard in the distance, he is still guided by his old maxims, and is the slave to his inveterate party prejudices, he cannot perceive the signs of the times; instead of looking forward he looks back; he learns nothing and forgets nothing; with “wise saws and modem instances” he would stem the rising tide of revolution. He lives more and more within the circle of his own party, os the world without him becomes stronger. This seems to be the reason why the old order of things makes so poor a figure when confronted with the new, why churches can never reform, why most political changes are made blindly and convulsively. The great crises in the history of nations have often been met by an ecclesiastical positiveness, and a more obstinate rcassertion of the principles which have lost their hold upon the nation. The fixed ideas of a reactionary statesman may be compared to madness; they grow upon him and he becomes possessed by them; no judgment of others is ever admitted by him to be weighed in the balance | against his own.—Benjamin Jowett in his introduction to Plato’s Republic.

Weeds in Your Woods.

Notice of Ditch Assessment.

A weed is commonly defined as a plant of some kind growing out of place. It is one that is growing at the expense of a useful crop. The cheat and cockle in a wheat field are weeds, because they occupy ground on which wheat might grow and they very much reduce the quality of the crop. The trees in a woodlot which in any way interfere with the growth of the more valuable trees are weeds and should be removed. To make the woodlot pay it is of prime importance that the weeds be kept out and every available space be occupied with straight and healthy trees of the greatest value. The woodlot is cultivated as truly as a corn crop, but in a different manner. The aim of the woodlot owner is to grow the best quality of the most valuable trees in the shortest time. To do this it is necessary to cut the dead, diseased and mature trees; to remove all trees that do not grow to a merchantable size, such as the dogwood, ironwood, waterbeech, redbud, haws and thorn trees, wild plum and crabapple; to cut trees of a low commercial value such as the buckeye, sassafras and coffeenut. Such trees as the beech and hard maple should be cut because they are of slow growth and produce such a dense shade that young trees can not grow under them. Two ash, or yellow poplar, can mature on the same space that is required for a beech and they grow twice as fast and are worth twice as much. In case there are patches in the wood lot where valuable trees are grow- „ ing too close together, the largest, straightest and most valuable

KEPT HIS COUNTENANCE WELL

Chauffeur of the Late General Booth Evidently a Man of Supreme Will Power.

Sale. CRAWFORDSVILLE. INDIAN/

Of the late General Booth’s entourage on his motor car tours one of the most interesting personalities ■was his stolid,” lean-faced chauffeur. During the roadside services which he started at Lands End, Cornwall, on his first motor trip through England the general would place his hands on the back of the driver’s seat, but as he wanned to his subject he clutched the shoulders of the chauffeur and used the flat surface of the man’s cap as other preachers use the pulpit ledge, tapping on it with his knuckles to drive home his points. The way the chauffeur kept his countenance during those moments of extraordinary publicity was a triumph of stoicism; with his two hands on the wheel, he stared steadily at the bonnet of his car, a monument of immobility, the only person within hearing of the sermon on whom the general’s burning words had no apparent effect.

Seed Testing for Indiana Farmers.

10 per cent, of total assessment due each month, beginning with January, 1913.

Indiana farmers are without a doubt losing thousands of dollars every year through using inferior seed. Seed seemingly high class is often found by the use of accurate tests to be in reality impure and lacking in vitality. This means a poor stand, weak plants, and enormous numbers of noxious weeds. One of the essential factors of profitable crop production is good seed. The quality of seed can be determined only by careful tests.

The State Department of Forestry is doing everything it can to encourage the improvement of the woodlot, and owners by writing can obtain literature, expert advice by mail or a personal visit free.

Provision has been made for the prompt and accurate testing of seeds without charge for Indiana farmers and seedsmen through the establishment by the United States Department of Agriculture in cooperation with the Agricultural Extension Department of Purdue University Agricultural Experiment Station, of a branch seed-testing laboratory with an .expert in charge. Two or three tablespoonfnls of clover or grass seed, or eight or ten of the larger seeds, are sufficient for a sample for testing The more representative the sample is of the bulk lot the more valuable will the test bo as an indication of the quality of the whole lot. To make a representative sample, seed should be obtained from the top, middle, and bottom of the bin or of each sack, if there are only a few sacks in the lot, or from every other sack, or every third, fourth, or fifth sack, according to the number of sacks. \\ here practicable, take a little seed from different parts of each sack. A metal seed trier is very convenient for this purpose. It is to be remembered that in the germination tests seeds are actually germinated, this process requiring from a week in the case of clover to nearly four weeks in the case of bluegrass. Purity tests require but an hour or sn to make.

DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURE*,

By local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portions of the ear. There is only one way to cure deafness, and that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachain Tube. When this tube gets inflamed yon have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed deafness is the result, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed candition of the mucous surfaces.

should be left. Some trees such as the ash, hickory, linn, oak and yellow poplar will send out shoots from a stump and it frequently happens that two or more sprouts will be found on one stump. In this case nil but the best one should be removed. The tops of the trees cut should be cut up fine and scattered over the ground so that they will rot quickly, or piled in small piles in open spaces of the woods and burned. In burning brush, great care should be taken so as not to injure the standing trees. The weed trees can be converted into wood or other products which may pay the cost of their removal. When the weed trees are taken out of the woods, more light is admitted and the nourishment that would be taken by the weed trees | goes to the other trees. It is also important that there be no open places in the woods where grass or herbaceous weeds may grow. Such spaces should be promptly planted with seed or seedlings of valuable trees. Unlike fiield crops, the woodlot is best cultivated during the winter months when the farmer can find time to do it. Since in a great measure the future timber supply

POINT OF RESEMBLANCE.

AFTER LONG YEARSI

“What one thing have that couple in common?”

“I don’t know, unless it is that she is dove-eyed and he is pigeon-toed.”

At Einsicdcln, in the canton of Schwytz—the Swiss Lourdes—a re-; markable marriage took place in the principal church. In 1870 a wealthy Swiss couple living in the neighborhood became engaged, but, on the breaking out of war between France and Germany, the fiance left Switzerland to serve under the French flag. The couple then drifted apart for the ensuing 42 years, and, strangely enough, each married three times during this period, the husband losing three wives by death and the wife three husbands.
