DAY OF THANKS

Observance in Plymouth Homes, Churches and Institutions. Sumptuous feasts were spread in nearly every Plymouth home Thanksgiving day and many joyous family reunions were held, absentees coming from every direction to participate in the bounties of the season. In this city of plenty no home was so . poor as to suffer deprivation on this great day of good cheer and charity sought in vain for worthy objects of its benefaction. At the jail, where Newton May and William Campbell are serving sentences and are the only prisoners, they were allowed to partake of the turkey dinner prepared for the sheriff's family and were made as happy as their enforced confinement would permit. Mr. and Mrs. Kruyer, of the county infirmary, were guests of Casimire Wickey in town for the day, but the 45 inmates cf the infirmary were jict left without ample provision for a big dinner. Turkey and cranberries, pies, pickles and jam, with all the usual fixings and dainties, weighted the tables and the public wards enjoyed the generous cheer. The orphan children at Brightside had long been looking forward to Thanksgiving with joyous anticipation and they were not disappointed. A holiday was given in all departments and after a bountiful feast of chicken and cranberry sauce, vegetables and pumpkin pie the hordes of youngsters were turned loose to enjoy the glorious day at games in the open air. Exercises appropriate to the occasion were held Wednesday afternoon. There are 176 children in Mrs. Work's charge at this time. The city churches united in a union service at the U. B. church and a large congregation was in attendance. Special music and a suitable program had been prepared. Rev. J. E. Hartman, pastor of the Reformed church, delivered a thoughtful patriotic sermon full of encouraging truth and hopeful Christian sentiment. Father Venn officiated at St. Michael's church and the children at St. Michael's academy were amply provided for, both in soul and body. At the Reformed church in the evening a union prayer service was held in preparation for the revival work beginning Sunday. Union Gospel Meetings. The Union gospel meetings were begun Sunday afternoon, the first of the series being held in the Presbyterian church. After the opening of the services by prayer and singing and a few introductory words, Rev. II. Ostrom delivered the sermon in which he emphasized the following points: Necessity of revivals. Revivals in thp religious life in harmony with the laws of growth and progress. Importance of bible study. Existence of religious enthusiasm. Essentiality of prayer. At the close of the sermon a Union People's meeting was held. In the evening seven hundred people assembled at the Methodist church, where the second of the series of meetings was held. Mr. Ostrom again talked to the people, basing his wcrds upon the first eighteen verses of the first chapter in St. John. Solos were sung at both services by Mr. Hillis, who is the director of the chorus choir. Passenger Becomes Insane. Last Friday evening shortly after the Pennsylvania limited left Chicago one of the passengers, Wm. J. McGuire, a business man of New York, suddenly became violently insane and manifested a disposition to break windows and Injure the furniture of the coach.

NOVELTY NEWS

Piano Factory Lost But Others Already . in Sight. The Thompson-Eastman piano factory will not come to this city to occupy the old Novelty plant and all negotiations to that end are off. They explain the situation by saying that the people of Plymouth were slow in raising the fund necessary to buy the plant and that other arrangements were made. It seems, however, that the concern dissolved after the proposal to come here was made, some of the members being engaged in .other. business. Mr. Eastman has located in 3s ew Mexico, where he went immediately after the expiration of the time fixed for the agreement to be accepted by our people and when the necessary amount was not yet secured. The situation remains highly encouraging despite the disappointment in this matter, and it may be confidently stated that within sixty days the vacant factory will be provided with a tenant. The subscribers to the fund for the piano factory are willing, probably without exception, to leave it avertable in the hands of the Business Men's association to be used at a proper time in their judgment. ; A representative of the Estey & Camp piano company has visited this city, inspected the plant and the matter is now under advisement with his company. This institution, which is one of the best known manufacturers of musical instruments in the country, finds it necessary to enlarge its capacity and if it can be secured for this city it will be much better than the one that has been dropped. The agent who was here was delighted with what he saw and said that everything was favorable. In the meantime a member of the Sandoval manufacturing company, now making agricultural implements at Sandoval, 111., was here this week and after a thorough investigation of the plant and the advantages of the city he took a short time option on the property and deposited a cash forfeit with the trustee. This opticn has but a few days to run and if the company does not luy the property the money put up will be forfeited at the end of that time; or they may make an additional deposit and extend the time. This is a well established company and is known to many people here, its product having been long in the market. Reunion of Stone River Survivors. Deak Old Comrades: It is cer tainly fitting that after thirty nine years have passed, we should meet in reunion. On the 38th anniversary, on short notice, a limited number of us met in reunion for the first time. At this meeting It was unanimously voted to organize permanently with the view of holding annual meetings at such places as might be decided on from time Hi lime. 3iartinsvine was chosen as the place of meeting, December 31, 1901, this date being the 39th anniversary. Firmly believing that the young soldier of 1862 would be glad of the opportunity to clasp hands with the now old ex-soldier, an earnest and cordial invitation is extended to all the survivors ot said battle to meet with us at our next reunion, and we hope each one will take a lively in terest in our organization. A program will be arranged that will oocupy a part of our time, and the balance of our time will be given up to the com rades present for a general good time. "We atk each and every survivor to send his name and address to Wm. II. Dryden, Sec'y, Martinsville, Indiana. "General William S.

ROMANCES OF AGRICULTURE

Chicago later Ocean. Any one still under the delusion that farming is an occupation giving little opportunity for mental effort should read Secretary Wilson's latest report. There he will find the outlines of scores of real romances of achievement, with the world for their scene and the most patient and acute minds as their actors. A few years ago a frost, such as living men had not known, swept away the orange groves of Florida. To many this was a calamity without. remedy. They could see nothing to do but to replace the blasted trees and hope that such a frost would not soon occur again. tut the scientific experts said: Let us find or make an orange tree that will resist frost." Over in Japan they found the treebut its fruit was of little value. So they set to work to combine this Japanese tree with the Florida sweet orange. They have produced the hardiest orange tree known, and are confident that in a few years they will have a fruit both resistant to frost and" of good quality. Rice has been grown in Louisiana for a hundred years, but the yield seemed to be diminishing and the industry was dwindling: About three years ago the Agricultural Department suggested the substitution of the Japanese rice plant for that formerly grown. The experiment was so suc cessful that the production this year exceeded that of 1899 by 73,000,000 pounds" and imports of rice have fallen from 154,000,000 to 73,000,000 pounds. About $20,000,000 new capital has been invested in the gulf coast rice industry. . Coffee has long been the small Porto Eican farmer's chief money crop.' Though little known in this country, Porto Rican coffee is in steady demand at high prices in Europe. Soon after Porto Rico became American our ex perts began studying coffee culture. They speedily found that the PorJ:o Ricans wereiading their coffee plants too much that the shade was not ne cessary in itself and that its chief value was in the effect on the soil of the roots of the leguminous trees which supplied it. Betcer meth oas nave oeen suggested which are expected to double or treble Porto Rico's coffee crop. The cold and dry winters of the Northern great plains states have fre quently killed the grass and so curtail ed pasturage that heavy loss of live stock resulted. In Russia the Agri cultural Department has found a grass and in Turkestan an alfalfa which stand cold and drought better than any previously known here. The former has proved perfectlv hardy clear up in North Dakota and assures the farmers there both pasturage and hay. 2oi long ago an insect Known as the "San Jose scale" was found to be numerous and destructive in the Cali fornia orchards. Several European countries took alarm and adopted incisures which threatened greatly to curtail our foreign fruit trade. Rea soning from such past experience as that of the rabbit and the thistle in Australia, it was seen that the reason this scale was so destructive was that it had reached a country where its na tural enemies did not exist to keep it in check. Thei( a world-wide search for this insect's home and natural enemy be gan. Both were found in North China. There thfc scale infested all sorts of fruit trees, but did no exten sive damage because a beetle kept its numbers within bounds. So this beetle has been brought across the Pacific and set to work upon its nat ural prey, and California fruit growers are feeling much more cheerful than they felt a few years ago. Such are a few of the achievements of scientific intelligence applied to the farming industry. They justify, although on other grounds than his, Cato's saying that agriculture was the pursuit most wbrthy of the good clti zen. For they prove that In farming operations there is scope for the most painstaking research and the most acute thought , of which the human mind is capable. They show that those who talk of farming as a dull and unintellectual occupation are sim ply ignorant of what modern agriculture means and is.

IOOK yourself squarely in the face and see

if you are not half ashamed to be without Ivory Soap in your house. Worse than this, your wife is without it. It is bad enough

for a man, though a man often doesn't care how his comfort is mis-spelled. But a woman misses all these little helps to housekeeping. And Ivory Soap is one; its great potency makes it actually cheaper than yellow soap for general work. It floats.

WHO THINKS.

draw trade. The real cause is not exactly known, but the theory is that the rural mail routes -which are being operated generally all over the farming sections, is one of the causes. This keeps the farmers at home six days out of a week, when before the rural mail went into effect they came to town every day "after the mail." As a general thing they do not come to town now unless they have to, as the carrier does a greet deal of purchasing for them. Excursions to Chicago via Pennsylvania Lines.
