As an excuse for not furnishing congressmen wira the usual quantilj of .ced for distribution among their constituents, the secretary of agriculture says prices of seeds are too high and expense too great. Heretofore each congressman received 12 000 packages but the number has been reduced to 2,000.

ORGANIZE A MENS

CLUB MALE MEMBERS OF EPISCOPAL CHURCH FORM ORGANIZATION. Herbert Hess Elected President, Delivers Interesting Talk Banquet was Served. The Men's Club of the Episcopal church, held their second banquet Thursday ntgüt at the Plymouth Inn at 7:30 o'clock with a large number present. After a fine supper, the rector, Rev. W. S. Howard, who acted as toast master, gave a talk on the benefits of such a club, and then introduced Mr. S. E. Boys, whose toast was A 'Man's Ideals. G. H. Thayer also spoke to the toast, HowCan We Help Our Rector in His Work? Both addresses were most interesting and entertaining. The election of officers then followed, resulting in the election of Herbert Hess as present. Dr. C. F. HoltzcnJorff as vice president, Guy Baker, for secretary, and John Collins as treasurer: The new president made 1 very telling address upon the purposes and work of the club, after which the permanent constitution and bylaws were adopted. The club will hold nine meetings during the year Committees on membership, church progres-s, civic improvement, ind entertainment were also appointed The objects of the club will be to stimulate sociability kmon men and 'jo aid morally anxl financially, the attainment of a clean, upright boyhood ind educated, and responsible christian manhood, and a highly developzi citizenship. Upon taking tne chair, the newly -tected president iMr. Herber Hess, aij in part: "Organization is one of the preliminaries of achieve me run. :he perpettlity, success and usefulness f this organization will depend upon he high purposes and ideals that are common to all of us and will imel us to lalxw zealously, actively md aggressively for their successful consummation." That "this organization ought to' be the result of a healthy discontent, a discortent that will ac:u?te tis to seek and work for those things .that will make for a '-indlier world, a more generous vrld. a more tolerant world and a nore Godly world There are two ' inds of discontented men, the disTontented man who is for ever living n-er the trials, tribulations and misfortunes of yesterday, and the disvnicnted man who is ever working to clear up the atmosphere so that not only himself but every other fel'ow may occasionally get a glimpse :f the silver lining that bounds all -f life's dark clouds. Then there is -he contented man and ne is the fellow we will likely have the most to ) with. He is .the man whose motto s: 'Let good enough alone. He's a tandpatter. He i-s contented to mere'y know that his neighbor lives, not knowing if there is any cheer in his heart, or any happiness at his fireside; he is contented to go down the street and take, notice of the man whom he considers a little lower iDwn in the social scale, working at 1 dollar a day job, not knowing A:ether his children are tending a day school or Sunday school, or whether they are working far beyond heir years and strength to keep body and soul together, he is contented that unsanitary conditions exist in ne part of the city providing the smells do not invade his domicile, he "s contented to let graft run riot in :ivil affairs provided his purse is not touched, he is contented to pass a tittle girl whose tender feet know the sting of the cold and cruel pavement providing his are clad in warm, strong shoe leather, that her soul shivering under a patched, threadbare, undersized galrment, while his is tucked away under a big warm overcoat, not knowing but that some day her oul may be basking in the sunshine of God's paradise, while his may be roasting fin .the fires of hell, He is confented to know that other men's boys are gambling, frequenting saloons and forming associations that inevitably lead .to destruction of character and! life, not knowing but that some day one of these boys may take it into bis head to make his girl a life companion. He is contented with anything and everything providing he "is left alone and not "bothered and permitted .to go the even tenor of his way, living wit'.wn the narrow limits circumscribed by his selfishrfess and elf interests." Mr. Hess closed by sayin-g "we cannot all of us live in the ime light, nor do things, nor say things that will be flashed around the world or commented upon in the newspapers, but we all can be potential integral parts of society at large contributing our share of strength and aid and bearing our proportionate share of life's burdens to the end that society may reflect out higher ideals, our noblest endeavors and a christian spirit that will make for "peace on earth and ( May, Bar Absinthe. There is a strong probability that the further importation of absinthe into the United States will be prohibited. A recommendbtion to that end was made by Dr. Harvey W. Wiley, chief of the Bureau of Chemistry, and the action of the Secretary is awaited with interest. Dr. Wiley recently conducted 'some investigations In reference to the extent to which absinthe is used in this country, and has discovered that on account of the taste and effect of the drug" the habit is rapidly acquired and is a difficult one to give up. Pay High Rates. It is now conceded that Souih Bend and Mishawaka manufacturers have been compelled to pay high coal shipment rates. The state railroad commission investigation brought out this fact.

EDITOR'S NAME ON FRONT. Texas Man Thinks the Public Should Know Who is Responsible for Newspaper Articles. With a view of letting the public kircnv whalt influence Operates upon it üliroug! the press, Representative Cooper, of Texas, Wednesday introduced a bill to exclude newspapers and magazines .from the mails unless the names of the owner and edit'oi or officers, directors and stockholder foe printed on its front pages. "There is no agency in the government 90 powerful as newspapers to affect the politics and policies of the Government and the morals of the people," explained Representative Cooper in discussing the Ibill. "This being true, the people linve a right to know who their tteaohers are and what i influences may operate upon them. If the people know the owners of the paper and the influences and motives that may prompt the editorials and writings therein, they would be better able to give proper value and weight to the published article. Different Conclusion. Some of the counties that intended to hold local option elections at an early date have come to adifferent conclusion. The anti-saloon forces rca.ized that it would be a difficult matter to get the farmer votes out to an election in midwinter when the weaher is cold, the snow deep or the roads in bad condition. Without the rural vote it is contended that they could not win against the city and town forces. PARTY IS SOLID AGAINST REPEAL REPUBLICANS HOPE TO GET FOURTEEN VOTES FROM THE DEMOCRATS. Views of Lurnan K. Babcock, of Logansport.- a Staunch Friend of County Option Law. Democratic members of the lower oranch of the next legislature who are opposed to the repeal of the county option law have been told, it is said, that the Republicans of the house will present practically a solid front against the repeal of the law. It was' this word from the Republicans, it is understood, which led eight of the recalcitrants to get togethe at the Denison hotel early this weekyto plan a campaign to keep the law on the books. The word which comes from the Republican camp is that not more than three or four of the Republican representatives iwill vote to repeal the la.v. In fact, it is said, the Republicans are almost willing to pledge that if the Democrats can muster fourteen votes in the house the county option law will remain intact, so far as that branch of the legislature is concernel. Thus far the Republican representatives have not counted noses on the county option proposition, but according to Representative L. K. Babcock, secretary to Gov. . Hanly, th;s is one of the questions which will come up at the meeting of Republicans of the House, whicn will be held at the state 'house next Wednesday, December 23. Basil of Estimate. Mr. Babcock already has discussed county option -witCii a number of the representatives, and he declares that he has not found one who will vote for the repeal of the law. In addition to Mr. Babcocks personal investigation' other kepublican friends of the measure have made diligent inquiry, and the belief is expressed that there will not be more than four, if that many, who win vote to kill f.ie law. In r.rriving at conclusions in regard to those who have not been approached personally on the subject the Republicans have taken into consideration t.ie communities in which the various Republican legislators live, the general disposition of die meri themselves and the attitude held by their predecessors in the legislature toward the county option bill. During the special session of the legislature four Repuolicans of the house Schreeder, Geiss, Condo and Keller voted against the bill. Of these four, only Schreeder, will be a member of Ihe next house. It is taken -for granted that Schreeder will vote for the repeal of the law. Thirty-six Favorable Votes. It is not believed thr.t more than f'.".iree others will favor the repeal. Republican friends of the law estimate that they will have tliiry-six votes that will remain firm for the option law. Therefore, if they can get fourteen Democratic votes, county option is safe unless it shall be molested by the senate. There is only one thing it is believed, which would cause many of the Republicans to leave the county option banner, and that would be the conclusion that the vote in Indiana in the last election should be taken as a repudiation of the statute. All of those wfto have been approached personally on the subject have not expressed the belief that the liquor question had much, if anything to do with the defeat of the Republicans in the last election, and it is taken for granted that other legislators will look at it in the same way. Saved $3,000. Retail merchants of Toledo, O., estimate that they saved not less than $.1.000 in the last six months by their refusal to advertise in programs and other doulbtful schemes presented to them by various churches and other organizations. A resolution against such adverri-sim? was adopted by the Retail Merchants of the Chamber of Commerce From Merchants' Manufactur'ng Journal.

THREE AGREE ON SEA BATTLES UNITED STATES, GREAT BRITAIN & JAPAN SUBMIT SAME PROPOSITIONS.

Code of Laws for International Prize Courts Under Consideration in London. The views of the ten powers the delegates from Which are assembled at London to decide upon a code of laws for the international prize court provided for at tthe last Hague conference make a bulky volume. Some of the powers like Japan, have submitted their proposals in the briefest formsi while orners. notably Great Britain support their views with arguments and references to decisions which British naval courts have given in historical naval cases. The United States too has gone Into detail on the subjects which -she thinks should receive consideration while Germany has submitted a dralft code of laws. The United States Great Britain and Japan are agreed on the majority of points. The American views include the following suggestions: A neutral ship found within the limits of a beligerent power may be seized destroyed or used for warlike purposes but the proprietors must be idemnified. In cases where the enemy has not observed the usages of war and the delinquent can not be captured there may be recourse to reprisals but always in accordance with the dictates of humanity. Reprisals Should Not Be Severe. The reprisals should not exceed in severity the offense committed and should not be repeated after reparation has been made for the injury complained of. All ships in the publhc service of the enemy are subject to capture except thoe employed in purely charitable or scientific work voyage or discovery and as hospital süiips. All private vessels belonging to the enemy except bona-fide coastal fishing boats are subject to capture unless exempt under treaty. In case of military or other necessity private ships of the enemy can be destroyed or retained for service are subject to capture and destruction. Warships of the United States of America can seek asylum during war in a neutral port subject to the limitations prescri-bed by the port authorities. Snch ships must conform to the regulations of the port authorities regarding length of stay and interval to be observed before going to ea in pursuit of any enemy or after departure of enemy's ships. A neutral ship carrying an enemy's lispatches is subject to seizure when acting as courier in the service of the enemy. Provision as to Mail Steamers. Mail steamers under a neutral flag carrying said dispatches whether as part of general mail or separately for convenient reasons and without special convention or remuneration are not subject to seizure and should not be detained unless there is a wellgrounded cause to suspect a violation of the laws of war. In the section relating to the excmptiona from eapture of (hospital i-'hips it is suggested that such ships should give succor and assistance to the wounded sick and shipwrecked of the beligerents without distinction of nationality. Belligerents should have the right to control the movements and isit hospital ships. They couM refuse their ibelp order them away in any direction wished; put a commissioner on board and even detain the ships. Merchants ships yachts or neutral vessels carrying or picking up belUgerent wounded sick or shipwrecked should not be captured on account of sucfhi acts but should still be subject to capture for any violations of neutrality they may haw committed. Merchant slhips under escort pf var ships of their own nationality should be exempt from the right of search on proper assurances being given by the commander of the convoy. The American views also contain proposals as to contraband and the methods of blockading which- are amilar to those put forward by Great Britain in a more extensive manner. Monument for General. G. A. R. veterans and others are preparing to ask the legislature for an appropriation amounting to something like $30,000 with which to build a inoniument to Gen. P. A. Hackleman, the only general from Indir.na killed in battle during the civil war. Various regiments, in reunion, have adopted resolutions urging upon the legislature the passage of an appropriation for the erection of the proposed monument. At the last session of the general assembly efforts to get an appropriation failed. State G. A. R. officials were interested in the movement at htat time. Interested in Pennsy Order. Railroad officials and manufacturers are deeply interested in the specifications for the 133,500-ton rail oricr placed Wednesday by the Pennsylvania Railroad company. While no mention is made of the cost of the rails, it U generally understood that some concessions in prices have been made by the manufacturers, in that a better grade of rail is to be turned out at the old rate of $28 a ton. The specifications call for some minor changes in the chemical composition and the rails are to be subjected to severe tests.

TEACHER MAY USE ROD

Kentucky Attorney General Finds There is a Legal Right for Punishment The controversy relating to the legal right of the school-teacher of the common schools of Kentucky to whip a disorderly pupil was ended Sunday when Attorney General James Breathiet handed down, an opinion to State Superintendent of Public Instruction Crabbe in whida it is held the teacher is given the authority to whip if it is necessary to maintain discipline. A recent opinion of Judge William Carroll of Newcastle, that the teacher had no right to whip, has partly disorganized the common schools and almost made it necessary to close some off them. Powerful Locomotives to be Built. The Pennsylvania railroad has begun the construction of fifteen locomotives of the most powerful type which has been designed for use on its lines. The are to be built at AItoona Pa. The weight pf each engine will be about 241,000 pounds and the tenders will carry 7,000 gallons of water and thirteen and one-half tons of coal. Road Enters City Politics. The Chicago4 Lake Shore & South Bend railroad, "The South Store Line," has entered (the political field in South Bend and has succeded in having an ordinance proposing to-re-f t ict the city iito ten wards instead of seven, thereby providing for ten councilmen and five councilmen-at-large. AGGIE SCHOOL IN EVERY COUNTY WOULD KEEP THE FARMERS POSTED ON CONDITIONS AND MARKET PRICES. Speaker at Farmer's State Congress Advocates Action by the Legislature. The Indiana farmers may ask the approaching Indiana legislature to originate the latest wrinkle in American country life. Addressing the farmers' sate congress of Indiana at its annual meeting President Joshua Strange of Marion sounded the warning. So that it might not be regarded lightly or as merely a mental flash in the pan, he had.it in his carefully prepared and official annual äddress. In it he declared: There should be a school for agricultural and mechanlical training in every county in the state. It should be connected with a county experimental farm. On it should be buildings suitable for agricultural and horticultural exhibits of thexperimental work. It should also include a convention hall for institutes and like public gatherings. It should be equipped with an agricultural library, and in it should be established a farmers' bureau of information. Amplifying this, Strange Tecited the blessings that would flow from he establishment of such institutions Every house in most agricultural dis tricts now -has its telephone, and all 6f these, he pointed out, would be connected with the bureau. If a farmer had a carload of hogs for sale he could telephone in the information and it would be posted up to the bureaw blackboard something like this: "Jim Jones has 100 hogs that will be ready for the market the 15th of next month. Call him by telephone No. 23, or address R. R. 13." Likewise :ould other things be offered for sale and exchange and from the bureau, in close connection with the agricultural library, could be had at any time expert information as to whether beans should be planted in the pale or the full of the moon. In tTTne, farmers' wives mfight rely on this as a ready aid to latest styles. ' Such a bureau, however, would be incidental to the greater purpose to be served the special education of men and women who are to produce the foodstuffs of the country. It might also, he suggested, be connected with President Roosevelt's plans to extend the educational work of the department of agriculture to the farmers. It would he said, certainly add to the effectiveness of such work as farmeis institutse. President Strange's idea i that th? legislature give to the counties the right to levy an assessment for the creation of such schools experimental farms and farmers centers. The matter was referred to a special committee which is to consider the matter and probably outline a bijl. This is Going Some. Chesterton Tribune.

Eat What - r You want of the food you need Kodol mil digest it

You need a sufficient amount of good wholesome food and more than this you need to fully digest it. Else you can't gain strength, nor can you strengthen your stomach if it is weak. You must eat in order to live and maintain strength. You must not diet, because the body requires that you eat a sufficient amount of food regularly. But this food must be digest!, and it must be digested thoroughly. When the stomach can't do it, you must take something that will help the stomaclu The proper way to do is to eat what you want, and let Kodol dlf gest the food. Nothing else can do this. When the stomach is weak It needs help; you must help it by giving It rest, and Kodol will do that. TAFT KEEPS LATIN POLICY.
