RAISING

MORE POPULAR Farmers of Indiana Turning Their Attention From Wheat Cultivation. WAYNE IN EIGHTH PLACE. ONE OF THE FEW COUNTIES IN THE STATE WHICH HAVE A LARGE ACREAGE OF WHEAT THIS YEAR. Indianapolis, July 14 The farmers of Indiana, according o statistics on the acreage of wheat in the state this year compiled by the state bureau of statistics turned their attention from raising wheat to that of raising corn and other grain for stock. Last fall a heavy acreage was sown In wheat, but it was not nearly so heavy as that sown in the fall of 19W for the year 1907. The bureau'3 figures for 1008 show a total of 2,0"I,015 acres of Hoosier soil sown in wheat as against 2,391.478 in 1907. However reports indicate that the wheat this year is thrashing out in good quantity and quality, and it is not unlikely that the deficit in acreage will be overcome by the quantity and quality of the crop. The total wheat crop in Indiana in 1907 was 34,874.720 bushels. The average yield per acre was 14.58 bushels. Posey county as in 1907 leads in acreage this year, having had 00,820 acres of her soil under wheat cultivation. Gibson county is second with an acreage of 59,028. Shelby county Is third with an acreage of 52,089, and Rush county is fourth with an acreage of 53,007. Other counties range as lolows: Harrison, 41,127 acres; Johnson, 38,749 acres; Knox, 48,707 acres; and Wayne, 32,783. A comparison with the acreage of the highest counties in 1907 shows that the wheat will be produced in al most the same belt tnis year that it was last year. The highest counties in point of acreage last year were Posey, 08,630 acres; Shelby, 02,089 Gibson, 58,710; Rush. 5H,"49: Knox, 61,047; Bartholomew, 50.842; Spencer, 47,949; Harrison, 44.398; Dubois, 40,219; and Madison, 39,707.

GOOD PROSPECTS FOR GREAT EVENT

Reports to Committee on Centerville Home Coming Encouraging. OLD RESIDENTS TO SPEAK. PROGRAM WILL BE OF UNUSUAL INTEREST AND ALL CITIZENS ARE WORKING HAND IN HAND TO COMPLETE PRELIMINARIES. At a meeting of the Centerville homecoming committee held last evening the reports were excellent and indications aro that the event will be one of the biggest ever held in that town. Wilfred Jessup, prosecuting attorney has been secured by the program committee to write a history of Centerville which is to be read during the celebration. The homecoming will be held August 15 and 10. in connection with the Old Settlers reunion. The exercises will be held at the park, providing the weather will permit, and if inclement, the program will be given in the town hall. There will be many other speakers on the program for the two days besides Mr. Jessup, Mr. Isaac H. Julian, now of Texas, formerly of Centerville, and who was a very influential citizen, will be one of the speakers. Prof. A. C. Shortridge, the founder of the Shortridgo high school of Indianapolis will also be there to address the large throng of people expected. The committee on accommodations is meeting with difficulty in finding places for the visitors to stay while in ,the town. The places for borjrding are few In Centerville. The committee will have to do some systematic work if enough rooms are found to accommodate the former residents. The Centervillians are sparing nothing in making thi3 one of the greatest events of the year. The people there are doing their utmost to make the celebration rank as high as the one held at Eaton on July 4. A REVELATION. It is a revelation to people, the severe cases of lung trouble that have been cured by Foley's Honey and Tar. It not only stops the cough but heals and strengthens the lungs. L. M. Ruggles, Reasnor, Iowa, writes: "The doctors said I had consumption, and I got no better until I took Foley's Honey and Tar. It stopped the hemmorrhages and pain in my lungs and they are now as sound as a bullet" A. G. Luken & Co. The Ice of Greenland. The largest mass of ice In the world is probably the one which fills up nearly the whole of the Interior of Greenland, where it has accumulated since before the dawn of history. It Is believed to now form a block about 600,000 square miles in area and averaging a mile and a half In thickness. According to these statistics, the lump of ice is larger In volume than the whole body of water In the Mediterranean, and there is enough of It to cover the whole of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland with a layer about seven miles thick. If it were cut into two convenient slabs and built up equally upon the entire surface of "gallant little Wales" it would form a pile more 'than 120 miles high. There is ice enough in Greenland to bury the entire area of the United States a quarter of a mile deep. London Globe. A Dowry on Approval. A curious custom prevails among Roumanian peasants. When a Roumanian girl is of a marriageable age, all her trousseau, which has been carefully woven, spun-and embroidered by her mother and herself, is placed in a painted wooden box. When a young man thinks of. asking to be allowed to pay his attentions to the girl he is at liberty at first to open the box, which Is always placed conveniently at hand. and examine the trousseau. If the suitor is satisfied with the quantity and quality of the dowry he makes a formal application for the girl's handbut if, on the contrary, the trousseau does not please him, be is quite at liberty to retire Man and Hie Talet. "I never saw a man 6o entirely, de pendent on his valet." "Quite helpless without him, eh? "Quite helpless. Mabel told me that when he came to propose he brought his valet with him." "What was that for?" "Why, when he reached the propei place his valet spread a hemstitched handkerchief on the floor for him to kneel upon." Cleveland Plain Dealer. Diplomatically Pat. "I am afraid you are absolutely gov erned by your wife." "No." answered Mr. Meekton, who had been reading the foreign news, "I'm not absolutely governed by her, but I must admit that I am very much within her sphere of Influence." Washington Star.

PRIEST WILDLY PURSUES THIEF Captures Man Alleged to Have Robbed Poor Box. Philadelphia, Pa., July 14. After a thrilling chase through church aisles, over chancel and through anterooms, participated in by a wideawake and athletio priest and an alleged robber of the church poor box, whose novel methods the former had fathomed, Frank Marreno, 20 years old, who gave his address as Brooklyn, was locked up by the Germantown police. The man was captured by Rev. Father Maher, of St. Vincent's Catholic church, who from the pulDit had seen him try to rob the poor box. Up one aisle and down the other ran pursued and pursuer for half an hour until the priest finally captured the thief. TAMMANY SOCIETY. The O rig-in of the Orn-nnlsatlen In. the Time of Jefferson. Tammany was the heir of the spirit of the 8on of Liberty of the Revolutionary war. It was kin In some of its purposes at least to those who were then beginning the revolution in France. It was enthusiastic In its support and approval of that revolution. Indeed a misty legend has been handed down from generation to generation in the hall that the suggestion came from Jefferson himself, who, called from France to Washington's cabinet, was pained to see that aristocracy, English in its Impulse and fostered by the Society of the Cincinnati, was rooting itBelf so early in our national life. To crush that impulse, at least to fetter It, Jefferson gave the hint, and Tammany, with its tomahawk, stood facing the Cincinnati and its sword. William Mooney, an upholsterer, but, like many of the mechanics of that day, keenly interested in politics, suggested that there be brought together in an association those who dreaded the aristocracy and who suspected that the purpose of Hamilton was to fore the government into something like a limited monarchy. Mooney found a good many mechanics and merchants who thought as he did, and so a common purpose, the grouping impulse rather than any cunning planning of one man for personal advancement, brought some of the ablest political and personal foes of Hamilton and Jay together, and with some mystery of onths and ritual, the pipe of peace, the feathered headdress, even the painted face and leathern costume, with wampum for its ornament, these men were bound in one association as the Tammany society, or Columbian order. Foley's Orlno Laxative, the new laxative, stimulates, but does not irritate. It is the best laxative. Guaranteed or your money back. A. G. Luken & Co.
