NAVE MAKES ASSIGNMENT

Birthday Surprise.

These Cool

Sunday, October 11, being Mrs. Orlando Hayes’ birthday, her sisters planned a surprise dinner which was carried out in a complete surprise at her home near Attica. They went with baskets filled with good things to eat, which was spread on the dining table at the noon hour and all present did justice. After dinner a good visit was had and all left wishing her many more as pleasant birthdays. Those present were Mr. and Mrs. W. W. Bennett, Mr. and Mrs. Ed Bennett of Liberty, Mr. and Mrs. Gr. F. Bennett of Wesley, Miss Sue Kerr of LaFayette, Mr. and Mrs. John Kerr of Attica, Mr. and Mrs. J. D. Thomas, Mr. and Mrs. Mills Bratton, Maurice and Opal of Wingate, and Mr. and Mrs. H. B. Tribby and son Byron, of New Richmond.

Were on Their Way Thursday To Attend The Jahr Markt. One Badly Hurt.

Largest Farmer in Fountain Co. Turns Over Property To Trustee.

Prof. Geo. I. Christie of Purdae will discuss the necessity for and the importance of better corn and better condition of corn for marketing under the U. S. grades, and other kindred subjects of especial interest to producers and handlers of grain. These meetings will be free, and farmers, grain dealers and consumers of corn are not only invited but are urged to attend this short corn school at one or more of these meetings.

Two auto loads of people from Wingate in the automobiles of Charles Tiffany and Will Hiett were on their way to attend the Jahr Markt at LoFayette last Thursday afternoon, when one auto load suffered a near to fatal accident in New Richmond. When rounding the street corner at the home of Will H. Long in the north part of town, the Tiffany car skidded in some loose gravel, became unmanageable, and before the power could be shut off the machine butted into one of the shade trees in front of the Long home with a terrific crash. Riding with Mr. Tiffany were his wife, Mr. and Mrs. James Vancleave and daughter. Mr. Tiffany suffered quite serious injury and was rendered unconscious, being cut about his head and body from flying glass from the broken windshield. Because of the steering wheel Mr. Tiffany was not thrown out of the car, the others all being thrown out and except for minor bruises and cuts escaped injury.

Frank A. Nave, the largest land owner and most extensive farmer in Fountain county, on Wednesday of last week made an assignment of all his lands and property to his creditors. The action came as a surprise to his friends and all regret exceedingly that such action was necessary. A complete inventory has not yet been made, but it is known that the liabilities exceed $400,000, and Mr. Nave estimates that his assets will amount to $500,000, so that there may still be a balance left for him after the indebtedness is paid. The creditors are mostly financial institutions, the largest being an eastern life insurance company that has a claim of $115,000. Banks in Attica, Covington and LaFayette are also represented, but in much smaller sums. The mortgaged in* debtedness amounts to $165,000, the remainder is unaecured. The assets include Fairview farm, two miles south of Attica, with 1,700 acres of fine land all in one body, and the Nave ranch in Jasper county, consisting of 15,000 acres. In addition to this Mr. Nave has a few thousand dollars of personal property and his crops of this season.

State Entomologist Warns Farmers to Be Ready to Combat The New Pest.

Rather Than Husbands Says This Statistician—What Figures Show.

State Entomologist Baldwin has ifsued a bulletin warning farmers against the presence of the army-worm moths, which threaten to be a source of much loss in Indiana next year. They have been reported in three widely separated localities in the state. The army-worm is a relative of the cut-worm and belong to the family of night-flying moths, the worm bein% simply the larva or caterpillar which later developes into the moth. While in its caterpillar stage the army-worm sometimes occurs in great numbers and travels from one place to another, like an army, practically stripping vegetation in its path including grain, grasses and shrubs. Although these marches usually occur at night they often happen during cloudy days,and the amount of damage that one of these “armies” can do in a few hours is very considerable. Thq state entomologist advises that where they appear in any quantities the farmer can alleviate matters a great deal by deep fall plowing and by burning the grasses and weeds along fences and ditches where the worms hibernate through the winter. When one of the “armi»s” appears, its march can be stopped by a dusty trench such as is advised to stop the travels of the chinch bug. Fortunately they do not remain long in any one locality as there are tiny parasites which feed upon them and developeso rapidly that they eventually annihilate the pest,

A few years ago when a girl left school she immediately began to hunt a husband. Getting married was her only outlook, and the best chance she had of getting a home. It’s different now. When a Chicago girl leaves school these days she immediately hunts a job. Then, when she has demonstrated her ability to support herself—and perhaps, contribute largely toward the upkeep of divers brothers and sisters —she leisurely looks over the male of the species and select one to suit her fancy. All of this is indicated by the new school according to W. L. Bodine, superintendent of compulsory education. His figures show there are 759,778 males engaged in occupations in the city, compared with 555,515 in 1909, while 236,811 females hold positions now, against 140,867 in 1909. The men gained only 36 per cent, while the women gained 58 per

Kind hands carried the senseless injured man into the Long home, physicians were called, Dr. Allhands of Wingate, his own physician being summoned also. The accident occured shortly be1 o’clock and it was almost two hours before the injured man had regained consciousness. Later in the afternoon, accompanied by the other members of his party and Dr. Allhands he was taken in an automobile to his home in Wingate. Mr. Tiffany was very seriously injured, his physician fearing dire results from the cut on his head, and it was several days before the family and friends found much encouagement in his condition. On Tuesday he was reported some better, and the doctor offered more encouragement in his changed condition.

William S. Baugh, of LaFayette, was named by Judge Schoonover as trustee for the creditors and he has taken charge. For several years Mr. Nave has been the largest farmer in the county and is widely known among progressive farmers and stockmen throughout the country. Since the death of Sampson Reed, of Covington, he has been the largest individual tax payer in the county.

Bridge at Covington Burned Sunday.

One of the landmarks of pioneer days, and the last of its kind along the Wabash river between LaFayette and Terre Haute, passed into history Sunday, when the old wooden bridge that spanned the historic stream at Covington was destroyed by fire. The old structure had stood the floods for seventy years and was one of the most substantial bridges in Indiana. It was built when the town of Covington was platted and was for years the only means the people of Fountain county had to cross the Wabash. IiJthe early days the emigrants going] to western states went to Covington so that they could drive their teams across the bridge iu place of fording the river. It was originally owned by the Covington Bridge company, and was a toll bridge. Several years ago it was taken over by the commissioners of Fountain county and was since used as a free bridge. The fire was caused by defective electric wiring.

Statistics show that marriages are not increasing with the same percentage of gains as the population.” Some of the occupations in which women and girls of Chicago are engaged, and the number employed, are as follows: Stenographers, 21,669; dressmakers, 15,099; domestics, 84,078; physicians, 629; janitresses, 725; book-keepers, 9,977; merchants, 3,875; telephone operators, 4,777; milliners, 5,461; teachers, 8,578.

Contract Rights.

There’s almost no limit to the styles, the fabrics, the colors, and the sizes.

The teachers of Montgomery county are to be congratulated on their stand in asking for legislation in favor of the sacredness of a contract. It is no more of a moral wrong for a teacher or a trustee to “jump” the contract to perform a service, or to pay a stipulated sum, than it is for a railway employe to quit his job in the middle of his “run” or a clerk to quit his employer without notice, but the public have learned to expect somethihg better than being a “contract jumper” from those who bear such trusted relations to the younger generations. An enacted law on the subject may be superfluous, but it should bring the teacher and the official to a higher regard for the moral rights of those who make contracts in good faith.—Crawfordsville Review.

It isn’t always safe to ridicule and poke fun at the humble and long suffering members of the country newspaper fraternity. In Riley county, Kansas, a young lady made caustic comments because the local editor wore a patch on the caboose of his trousers. Another gossip told the editor of the slander and he promptly prodeeded to “get even” with the smart young lady. He sued her father for $18. owed for back subscription; got the money and is now wearing a new pair of trousers and patent leather shoes.
