T
jsaac G. Dougan in His Inaugural Address Before Society Advocates Better Ideas And Conditions.
yVORLD HAS NO USE FOR THE NEGLIGENT FARMER. Man Who Neglects Has Not Caught the Quickening Spirit of the Times and Cares Nothing for Home. One of the most eloquent addresses ever given before the members of the "Wayne County Horticultural society was that of the new president, Isaac (i. Dougan. as his inaugural. In it lie advocated a higher piano of thought and activity for the fanner and .said the old fangled idea that progress in farm ideas was detrimental, had vanished among the majority of those rebiding within the county borders. Home life of the highest type was advocated. In part he said: "At the outset of my remarks, permit me to thank jou collectively and Individually for the honor yon have conferred npon me by re-electing im: president, and also for tile very cordial support you have given me during the past year. "The older ones present can well reJnember when it used to be sneeringly said, "he is only a book farmer." but since then, the quickened agricultural thought of the country is beginning to keep step with the progress of science, mid to realize that an intelligent comprehension of how to farm, is essen1ial 1o success. Beginning to comprehend the great fact that scientific farming has not only the pledge of success in it, but the sure pledge of enlarged profits and expanded ideas. "Wayne county has of late years very much improved in her methods of iigjiculture, yet we have by t taeans 1 cached the possibilities of lun- productive capacity. The market gardeners of our great cities are object lessons which show what our land is capable of producing if properly prepared and fertilized. The little family gardens frequently astonish us by tin; n mount of food products they yield for liome use. "Notwithstanding these improved methods adopted by many of our farmers we have not as a whole even in this old county of Wayne, yet drifted Hway from the loose and slovenlv methods of more primitive farming. Indiana, cultivated as in the lands of densely populated countries could produce food for millions of people behidts her own population. Tons of bay could be raised along her highways. .Fruit trees could then yield their abundance and touches of art scattered along remind us that "A thing of beauty is a joy forever." "The time, is coming and is even uow 4it our doors when labor, the source of wealth, will be dignified according in it worth, and science and art will together develop and beautify rural Jiomes and their surroundings, all over cur country. What, makes the difference in the homes of out country '! "Why do we see on one side of our county roads a tumbled down home, fences la zigzag lines, weeds crowding lip to the doorways, panes of glass missing iu the windows, and the spaces where they should be. filled with old rags, or discarded hatsV The burn, if there be one, all tattered and torn by the elements until it seems colder vithin than without. The old family horse standing with droopiug head and melancholy air. near bis neglected Ptnll. with an almost human pleading look in his eyes for better feed and better care? Why this air of desolation? Why this blot upon civilization light here in this richest and besi county' The owner has not caught the Quickening spirit of the times. He trends too much of his time in idleness. He stays too much in town. He lingers about saloons and wastes precious hours and days in reviewing himFelf. He is destined to become one of the submerged tenth. His biography is written in plain characters upon bis Jiome and its surroundings. He is one who is always complaining that, government does not do enough for the Individual. He is the chronic frrumbler of the neighborhood and claims that society Is all upon a wrong luisls. "Across the same road and not far distant stands a beautiful home with all modern Improvements. In summer, roses bloom and flower bells swing In the warm air. diffusing sweet Incense. Its owner has developed an individualism. He is a worker and a thinker. Few idle hours for him. His liorse, spirited and well groomed, teems to enjoy life. o uis (enttr table are hooks., magazines and newspapers. In the management of his farm he is up-to-date. n. ;s a worker M well as a thinker. All thinkers are workers. "Oh the evil that is wrought ly the want of thought:" Kvery farmer, every farmer's wiv. son and laughter, should aspire o the development of a well poised Individuality.
"Wo must all. if wc would keep pace witlf the progress of our time, emulate our calling by making ourselves intelligent and thorough-going in the development of our home and of ourselves as its representatives. '"The farmer who has caught the spirit of the times realizes that farming is something more than mere drudgery. Schools, colleges and special institutions of learning may turn out lawyers and preachers and doctors in a few brief years. The science of. agriculture demands a preparation and intelligence equal to that of any other calling. 'Give us this day our daily bread," is a prayer which comes up from our cities, and it rings across the continents. Especially with peculiar and pathetic force when the fires of furnaces are banked and the machinery of factories stand still. To supply the ever growing demand is the mission of improved methods of agriculture and we should all realize it and act upon it and bring to our calling such knowledge of what various crops feed upon as completely as what to feed our hogs and cattle to fatten them. A knowledge of botany, of chemistry, of grasses and bees and fruits, of the pests which destroy them should all be familiar to us to manage them. "Iet the old world roll on. we will continue while wo live to try and conform more and more to the inexorable laws of nature. We cannot break them or repeal them or annul them. They can break us, and will, if we do not. recoguize their binding force. Out in the fields amid the rustling torn and whispering wheat, out in the pure air and undimnied sunshine, drinking in the ozone, feeling our kindred to the soil upon which we tread, with the birds that sing, the animals which look' to us. their guardians, for food and shelter, for kindness, which they never fail to appreciate, let. us do our best to bring back the lost Eden, which will convert, the world when we shall have developed the good and eradicated the : had which exists in material and spir itual nature. "Allow me to repeat substantial! v what I have said to you in my former addresses, that the most precious crop which old Wavne countv produces is her boys and girls.

Probation Officer Speaks of
Tutwaller Home in Severest Denunciating Terms to Juvenile Court. PATHETIC SCENE WHEN FATHER WAS ARRAIGNED. Admitted Many Accusations Made and Wept Tears When Court Said Children Were to Go to Institute. "A hell on earth." is the way Prohibition Officer Mrs. Elizabeth Candler describes the home of Frank Tutwaller in a report submitted to Judge Fox yesterday in the juvenile court. Mr:-.. Candler investigated the condition of the Tutwaller homo at the court's orders to see if it. was a fit place for Tut waller's two young children, Ethel and Harry, to live. After the report of the probation oTicer had been read, Prosecutor Jessup said that he had ordered the police to take the two children to headquarters and keep them there until a fit place for them had been found. liesides speaking thus of the homo which is a miserable shack in the extreme south end of the city, Mrs. Candler in her report labels Tutwaller as a thief, the atmosphere of the home degrading and immoral, the squalor being indescribable. Tutwaller is in the county jail serving time on a sentence for petit larceny He was brought before Jcdge Fox yesterday afternoon by Sheriff ! Meredith. The prosecutor severely arraigned the man, telling the court that he was incompetent to care for his children and that he lived with a woman who was not his wife. Tutwaller turned livid under the denunciation and then burst into tears. "Part of what the prosecutor said is true, but part is not," said the man. "When tny wife died 1 hired the woman that lives at my home to take care of the children. I have done my best to support them but now I cannot do it." When the court ordered that t hetwo little ones be taken to White's Institute, Tutwaller sobbed bitterly. i an l i .see i neni neiore you un;e them away?" asked Tutwaller. "Cer tainlv von can. Heforo thev arr sent u white's Institute, Mrs. Candler will take them to the county jail." said the prosecutor. Judge r ox explained to iutw;uier inai ir.e institute was not a penal one and that there the children would be well taken care of and educated. OWEN BUSH TO PLAY WITH BROWNS . !

FIRST, HE DID, THEN, HE DIDN'T, CLAIMS GROCER Hunt Says That on First Interview, City Attorney Study Said the Meat Ordinance Would Not Hold Water. CLAIMED HE BUT RECENT LY CHANGED OPINION. Hunt Still Claims Meat Ordinance Is Illegal and Has Not Withdrawn His Offer to Test The Case in Court. C. 13. Hunt, the Main street groceryman, insists ty.at City Attorney Study has had no interview with him in regards to the legality of the meat inspection ordinance, which Mr. Hunt still contends is unconstitutional. "A few days ago I went to Mr. Study's office in company with a farmer who sells uninspected meat iu this city." said Mr. Hunt yesterday. "We asked Mr. Study at that time if it would be a violation of the city meat inspection ordinance If this farmer continued to sell uninspected meat in Richmond. The city attorney informed us that it would be no violation of the ordinance. Now I understand that he states the selling of uninspected meat in Richmond is a violation of the ordinance and insists that the ordinance is constitutional. "I take the stand that the laws of the state permit the sale of un Inspect - ed meat .and. that for this reason, the) citv of Richmond has no right to pass an ordinance which is not in accord itl. tbe state laws. In other words I .,.. f.ir,ar. i,9v nm h right to sell their uninspected meat products iu Richmond as they have in Cambridge City or other town.s in this county." Mr. Hunt stated that City Health Officer. Dr. C. S. Hond. Is aware of the fact that the meat inspection ordinance is illegal. Tho grocery man says that after he had publisned an advertise. ment to the effect that the ordinance was unconstitutional and that he would pay tbe costs of any farmer ar - rested for violation of the ordinance.
