PREE COAL FOR THE POOR

Practical Chanty of a Plymouth Concern in South Bend. The following has been received by Chief of Police Kline, says the South Bend Times, and fully explains itself, while it "shows that the firm sending it has a heart in the right place: Chief of Police Kline, City: Dear Sir: Follow ing the suggestion of a South Bend evening paper (The Times) of December 17, we beg to atate that we have 20,000 pounds (ten tons) of first-class Indiana soft coal t'-iat is subject to your immediate disposal for the needy and destitute of South Bend. We also wish to state that on Christmas day (on which day cur yard will be closed to general business) we will furnish free the cartage on same; prior .to that date, the coal will be subject to your order at our yards, opposite Yandalia depot. Very respectfully yours, Linken iielt Coal Co. Midwinter Picnic The Whist club gave its first invitational entertainment Friday night in the novel form of a midwinter picnic. Hill's cafe was arranged iu sylvan stvie, with real hammocks and imitation grass, the costumes were, so far as the weather would permit, such as would be seen at an at fresco party in summer, and the refreshments were served from baskets, nothing being lacking but the bugs and ants. In the whist games prizes 'were won as folkws first prize for ladies, set of books, by Miss Ilattie Lauer, second prize, stamp and sealing wax set. by Miss Ruth Thomson; first for gentlemen, tobacco jar, by Arthur Underwood,second, shoe-blacking set, by Will Ashton.

The new crossing will be located 500 feet east of the old, which is now closed by the changed grade. During the winter the entrance to the grounds will be at the south-east corner, where the highway crosses the railroad. .What no Fellow Can Find Out The Bachelor who writes the Reflections for the New York Press very wisely remarks "What a woman can't understand is how a man will stay up every night for six weeks running all over town trying to make votes lor a candidate he doesn't know, but get hopping mad if he has to run across the street to get some paregoric for his own baby."

THE NEED OF MORE TREES

State Forestry Secretary Points Out Rapid Consumption of Forests. Secretarv W. II. Freeman, of the Indiana state board of forestry, has issued a bulletin dealing with the forestry conditions of the state. The best interests of all, he says, demand prompt action in a rational use and preservation of the present supply of timber. Eighty-five years ago there were 18,000,000 acres of good timber land in the state, but now there are not more than 1,500,000 acres, most of which is second growth stuff. The last statistics show an annual consumption of about 500,000 acres of timber. Mr. Freeman says it is a perfectly safe estimate that half the aggregate manufacture of the state is a wood-finished product, and that a large per cent, of the other manufacturers use timber in large amounts in sundry ways. This is sapping the state's resources of both virgin and second growth timber. The conclusion Mr. Fr eman draws is that the plea of necessity fcr an extensive forestry movement is sustained by the industrial conditions of the state. In view of the quality and quantity of timber which now remains and the rapid removal of timber everywhere, Mr. Freeman observes that farmers and railroad companies will soon be confronted with a shortage of mater ial for fence posts and ties. ''The successful farmer," he de clares, "will meet these demands in elligently by producing on his farm such of this as he can. and w ill find by calculation that a large profit may easily be made in doinir it. "Every farmer can set aside a part his land to cultivate in hardy catalpa, chestnut, Kentucky coffee tree, black locust and Russian mulberry and wait ei?ht or ten years for his returns if such returns will pay him a larger average annual income for every year at less labor and uncertainty by cultivating crops annually. These species grow quickly and will be suitable for posts after twelve or fifteen years' growth. They require only two years cultivation at little expense " Mr. Freeman has also developed a plan for the propagation of forests on cheap lands that is embod ied in the bulletin, copies of which will be distributed throughout the state. Interesting to Farmers. The possibilities of the tiollev road in country districts have hardly begun to be realized. Heretofore they have been "confined to the carrying of passengers. But they are also to be of still greater service to the rural districts by carrying freight, express and mail matter. " They can not only do this quickly and cheaply, but can take produce direct from the farms along their routes and deliver goods thereto. Some illuminating records of actual experience along this line are given on earlier pages of Orange Judd Farmer this week. The trclley should have another application, as a source of electric power for the homesteads along its route, and even at considerable distance therefrom. With the increased cheapening of electric motors, it is going to pay farmers to install mo tors, to be fed from the wire that taps the trolley cable, these motors to op erate the machinery in barn or house. Electric lighting of the homestead will also be feasible, and in many cases economical. There is no question about all this being realized more rap idly than the average farmer even imagines. The world is making mighty strides and these things which seemed so chimerical a few months ago are now realities. Moreover, the use of distant waterfalls as a source of electric energy to be transmitted over long distances either by wire or by the wireless system, will still further cheapen this form of energy and bring it within the means of prcgressive and thrifty rural residents. Orange Judd Farmer. How the Story That Chinamen Eat Rats Was First Started. "No, Chinese don't eat rats," said Moy Kee, the Chinese restaurateur in Indianapolis, in answer to a question by a reporter. "I'll tell you how that started. In China there is a small squirrel, tli 2 flesh of which is delicious, but which looks like a rat before it is skinned. Our people prize the squirrel very highly,, and use the skin for pen cases and other purposes. It looks ex actly like the skin of a rat such as is found here, but the flesh tastes like young chicken better than the Amer ican squirrel even, for it js not as coarse. Foreigners seeinsr the China man skinning a squirrel imagine it is a rat and say: 'What, is that a rat?' The Chinaman doesn't know what 'rat' means, but he answers 'Yes.' Do you eat it?' the foreigner asks, and the Chinaman says 'Yes' again, That is how it happens that we have the reputatiou of eating rats."

TRIED TO BUY A SENATOR

The Unsuppressatle Ray Makes a Most Astounding Offer. George M. Ray, the infamous Shclbvville democrat who is serving time in state's prison for bribery and cor ruption, has committed the astounding act of writing to Senator Beveridge a letter offering $2,000, cash down, for a pard' ji.'. or parole and suggesting that Governor Durbin could be "fixed" for $1,000, leaving the senator the bal ance for negotiating the deal. Of course lieveridge resented the insult and published the letter very promptly. This is by no means the first time the Shelbyville editor has offered money for his freedom and even during the trial of his case he made wild and foolish propositions for immunity from prosecution. The fellow is a monomaniac on the subject of bribery and believes that every man has his price. He had county printing contracts at extortionate prices for so long that he came to believe in the integrity of no public official . He has no moral concept ion of honesty and is audacious beyond belief, as his letter to Senator Beveridge shows. In times past, in the pursuit of his manv crooked schemes, he must have succeeded in his attempts to buy men in pretty high station else he would never have tried this latest dodge. GROWTH OF INDUSTRIES census lames anow now Indiana is t r a - Stepping to the Front. The statistics of manufactures in Indiana as given in the present census shows the following increases from 1890 to 1900: Number of establishments, 46 per cent; capital invested, "8 per cent; wage earners employed, 41 per cent; wages paid, 57 per cent; cost of materials used, 65 per cent; value of products, 66 per cent; miscellaneous operating expenses 100 percent; The industrial growth of the six leading cities in Indiana, as indicated by the percentage of increase in the number of establishments and amount of capital invested since 1890, is as follows; .rJvansville establishments, 40; capital, 12. Ft. Wayne establishments, 69; capital 31. Indianapolis establishments, 61; capital, 142. New Albany establishments, 30; capital, 44. south Bend establish ments, 4o; capital, Gl. Terre Haute establishments, 17; capital 80. The showing is a most excellent one as compared with other states and testifies that Indiana is essentially an industrial as well as an agricultural state. Something New. A new graphophone for $25, which uses both large and small cylinders, is the latest development in the talking machine field. This new instrument has been provided to supply a demand which has manifested itself ever since the large cylinder appeared. Its pos sessor, while having onlv one instru ment, costing considerably less than any previous machine capable of using the large cylinder, may now enjoy a large variety of selections at the nominal cost ot small records, and is also enabled to avail himself of the great volume and superior reproduction of the Grand record, whenever desired, at no additional cost other than that of the records themselves. Besides its other advantages this instrument is provided with an entirely new feature which has never before appeared on any graphophone. This is a dial speed indicator which, by the position of a pointer, enables the operator to tell at a glance, the speed at which the ma chine is running and to adjust the speed by merely moving the pointer. The Columbia Phonograph Co., No. 88 Wabash avenue, Chicago, headquarters forgraphophoncsand talking macbing supplies of every kind, will send you catalogues on application. Ilt3 A New Remedy.

COFfRIGHT (T TIM rHOCTf LABOR INTERESTS Senator Pleased with Results Obtained and Explains His Hopes. Washington, D. C. Dec, 21 Senator Hanna, who visited the White House yesterday, is confident that great benefits will be derived from the conference which took place in New York with a view to bringing about a better understanding between capital and labor. In discussing this matter as he left the White House today he said: ."I consider the conference the greatest step ever taken for the speedy settlement of disputes arising between labor and capital was an evolution which was naturally preceded by the organ ization of labor, and both organizations have come to stay. The concentration of the interests of the two sides, which are friendly, not hostile, into the hands of a comparatively few individuals will make for the best interests of both. "Too much, of course, must not be expectsd at first. The agreement reached by-the representatives of labor and capital at the conference was simply a platform, and the good that is to result from it must be worked up in the future.

idea that we are to revolutionize everything relating to the conditian of labor and capital, or that the joint committee is to undertake arbitration by compulsion. In fact, we are opposed to compulsory arbitration. We believe we can accomplish more by getting into closer touch aud contact with labor. "The first step will be to establish a relationship between the two interests, and this will serve as a foundation to work on. While we do not expect that there will be no strikes, they will be minimized as a result of the conciliation and arbitration policy." Saved His Life.

Omeda Oil

The correct treatment of sore muscles or tendons is very simple. First take a good warm bath before going to bed, and then wipe yourself dry. This opens up the pores. Then rub Omega Oil into the pores, keeping up a brisk rubbing for several minutes. If you have time when you get up in the morning, rub in some more of the Oil. This cures sore muscles caused by hard work or by severe exercise of any kind. Omega Oil is the favorite rub-down of nearly all prominent athletes in America. It keeps the muscles

fine shape.
