BOOflE COUNTY IS TO REMAIN "DRY" Saloonless County Decides by : Big Majority to Remain On Water Wagon. NOT A CHALLENGE MADE OWING TO THE FACT THAT FARMERS COULD NOT PLOW, A HEAVY VOTE WAS TURNED OUT WOMEN WORKERS, i Lebanon, Ind., ; June 2. Boone county, which has been "dry" for two years, yesterday voted by a majority of 2,446 not to allow the saloons to return. The sweeping victory is taken to mean that the farmers and business men of Boone county are pleased with the conditions that have prevailed since the saloons were ousted two years ago. The brewery Interests :". made a strong fight to carry the county, as they had circulated much literature among other "counties that ! recently voted, In which it was stated that the business men and farmers were dissatisfied with the conditions that resulted from' the county being "dry." , The majority is the third largest of any : county that has ' yet ' voted by the county 'option law and stands first in' proportion 'to population. - ..."Dry" Forces Expected 1,000. "The '"dry" forces were much surprised at the size of the majority. Their poll showed a majority of about 1,000. They had no hope of carrying Center township, in which Lebanon is located. Only two ' of the forty precincts in the county went "wet." These two were in Lebanon.' When the result was known the church bells and the court house bell of this city were rung. The streets were thronged with people - rejoicing over the outcome of the election. . " Big Vote is Polled Early. More than half of the county's total vote had been polled at S o'clock yesterday morning. When the polls were opened at 6 o'clock in the city at some precincts more than 100 men were in line waiting to vote. Both the "drys" and "wets" : were on the alert early. They ran a neck-and-neck race in Lebanon until noon, when the "wets", discouraged by the reports, from the outside townships, deserted the polls and announced that they conceded the county "dry" by 500. This did not cause the "drys" to cease their efforts at getting out their votes. A score of automobiles were in use in the county all day by the "drys." : . 1 By noon four-fifths of the entire vote of the county had been polled. The heavy rains of the last few days, and especially that of Monday night, was responsible for the big majority of the "drys. The rain put plowing out of the question and .with the fine clear day that rounded out yesterday morning practically every farmer voted before 8 o'clock.. In the rural districts the "wets" had no one at most of the precincts to look after the voters. The women in many precincts outside of Center were of great assistance n getting the vote out. This was especially true in Thorntown, Advance and Whitestown. They were ceaseless 'in their endeavors to get every "dry" voter to the polls. After getting a man to vote they pinned a badge on him. - ".v,,; y ,,.-..-... Lunch and coffee were served at Thorntown, Advance and Whitestown. These three places were strongholds for the saloons up to a few years ago and the women wanted to make sure of a "dry" victory. In Lebanon the women failed to take any interest in the election. Never before In the history of the county did an ; election pass off as quietly as that of yesterday. There was no trouble at the polls and not a challenge of a voter by either the "wots" or the "drys" was reported. Wasted Opportunities.

Plenty of It Has Been Done Right Here In Richmond. Cures that last are cures that tell. To thoroughly know the virtues of a medicine you must investigate ., the cures and see if they prove permanent. Doan's Kidney Pills stand this test, and plenty of proof exists right here in Richmond. People who testified years ago to relief from backache, kidney and urinary disorders, now declare that relief was .permanent and the cure perfect. How can any Richmond sufferer longer doubt the evidence? Miss Frances Hamilton, 27 N. Ninth street, Richmond, Ind., says: "I was annoyed sxeatly by pains through the small of my back and in my shoulders. When my sister advised me to try Doan's Kidney Pills, I procured a supply at A. G. Luken & Co's drug store and two boxes freed me from the trouble. I think highly of Doan's Kidney Pills and consider them worthy of recommendation." The above statement was given in July, 1906, and on December 12, 1908, Miss Hamilton added: "I have had no return of kidney complaint since Doan's Kidney Pills cured me. I am always glad to say a good word " in praise of this excellent kidney remedy.: ' For sale by all dealers. Price 50 1 cents.

Their Position In the Royal Household : of England. :':V Maids of honor are chosen by the queen herself from among the 'daugh ters of peers, who if not themselves connected with the royal household are personal friends of her majesty. A letter Is always sent to the parents of the young lady requesting that as a personal favor to the queen she may be permitted to attend at court. As the position is undeniable and the salary is 300 a year, the request is Invariably accepted, and then the newly chosen maid receives from the lord chamberlain the command for her first "wait." The first thing brought to the maid of honor is her badge, which is a min iature picture of the queen set in bril liants and suspended to a ribbon. Just before the dinner hour the maid .of honor in waiting has to stand in the corridor outside the queen's private apartments. She carries a bouquet, which on entering the dining room she lays at the right hand of the queen's plate.' ' The matd of honor sits at dinner next to the gentleman on the queen's right. This role is relaxed when royal guests are present After dinner, unless otherwise commanded,' the maid of honor retires to her own room, whence.: however, she Is frequently fetened to read. alng. play the piano or take a hand at cards.

The combination is a good bone builder and muscle former. .Should the family clock quit business and the hands go on a strike the trouble can usually be arbitrated by the application to the working parts -t a little kerosene with a broom splint 9r turkey feather. Depends a good deal on the man. One will take a hoe and make a living for himself and family from an acre or two. while another will be given a clear title to a fine quarter section farm and be busted in a dozen years. The other day a trapper living along the Mississippi dug a trench six feet Seep and forty feet long to capture Bve wolf cubs, from which he realized a bounty of $10. It is not likely that this fellow could have been induced to do a job of like magnitude on a city treet for love or money. Very little water will need to be given the newly set fruit or shade tree if the soil within a radius of three or four feet from the trunk is kept mellow, so that it will not pack and bake. There is abundant moisture in the earth for the needs of the tree, except tn very dry seasons, and this can be made available in the manner suggested. In these days, when batter is worth BO cents a pound, it behooves a fellow to provide a substitute which will answer the same purpose and not cost so mnch. Corn, consisting ss it does so largely of fat forming elements, is the substitute which will be available In most case, and it may be fed as meal, cracked or whole. In small quantities oilmeal is also an excellent substitute. Large tracts of the cntover pine lands of northern Wisconsin are being cleared for the growing of peas for large canning factories. The soil has been found to be adapted to the growing of this .legume, which does not rob but, rather," enriches it, while the somewhat cool weather during the growing season gives a line texture and quality to the product. The ugly burdock, which often mars the looks of back yard or alley, may be exterminated by cutting the root of the old plants below the crown with a spade and by heeing over the little chaps. Patches of -nettle, which belong to the root stalk family, should not only be kept from going to seed, but the entire root system should be dug from the soil, allowed to dry in the sun and burned. If there are mall patches of qnack grass in the garden they 'should! be handled in the same way, as any Joint of root left in the ground will start growing. The economic prostration of the inhabitants of the wheat growing sections of India is due in part to variable and uncertain rains, with ensuing drought and famine, and as largely to the very erode and primitive methods which are' still followed in the handling of the sou and harvesting of the crop. In the former operations the crudest kind of plows are used, which barely scratch the ground, the grain Is thrashed by the feet of oxen and separated from the chaff by hand winnowing in the wind. So low is the yield that In fst years there is not enough grain produced to tide the people over seasons of drought. The richest group of people in the world are said to be the 926 remaining members of the Osage Indian tribe, who live seventy-five miles north of McAlestefVrOkla. Each individual has a clear title to 660 acres of the richest farming land, which is valued at $100 per acre, without regard to the mineral wealth which it may contain, fat bank accounts and a pro rata share in the SS.000,000 fund which is held in trust by the government. It is said that, in addition to being fortunate in the property to which they have fallen heirs, they have been industrious and thrifty and that it is in quite a measure to this fact that their unusual prosperity is duei ' u-ft ' ' , --' An investigation into the cost of eggs shipped from the Mississippi valley farm to the consumer in New York shows those who take toll in handling and the amount exacted to be as follows: . Paid to the farmer.. Profit of the country store. Gross profit of the shipper... Frelsht to New Tork Gross profit to receiver Gross profit to jobber Loss from candling- ...... Gross profit or retaUer Cost to consumer S A glance at the items would seem to indicate that ; the retailer might well divide a bit . with the country storekeeper and the farmer and consumer be no worse off. A friend who has a pair of red squirrels making headquarters on his premises put a handful of peanuts on the porch the other day and retired to see what would happen. Soon one of them appeared and after a survey of the situation made off with the nuts one by one, burying each in a hole by itself, taking pains to pack the soil down firmly so as not to arouse the suspicion of the passerby. It was also noticed that the only nuts that were eaten on the spot were those of which the shell was cracked, and woo Id spoil quickly. The gray squirrel, found so often in native timber lots, follows a different plan from the one noted, . usually hiding the nuts which be garners In the fall In holes In stamps or depressions at the roots of trees, often half a boshel or more In a place. - Any factor " which tends to "discou age grain raising and encourages a diversified agriculture in its stead cam hardly be, viewed in any other light than a blesainsBean weevils win ctve verv Itttle bother if the crop is not planted before June 15.

whk-h it gives or swiping a norae ox weeds. The world's two-year-old butter record, the seven day period, is held by a Holstein heifer belonging to H. A. Meyer of Syracuse, X.T.. she having produced S4.4S pounds of butter la that time. The husband who weathers the house-cleaning period without losing his church standing and who Is fairly attentive to the summer garden when there are periodical baseball games in the neighborhood should be put down as a pretty decent sort of fellow. This is pre-eminently the day of specialization. In no field of activity does It fetch larger returns than In agriculture. The sgricultural colleges of the country running full blast cannot turn these specialists out fast enough to supply the demand, and that at remunerative salaries from the start. The mission which countless billions of earthworms perform in working soil over, mellowing and enriching It and in reducing raw natural fertilizers and decaying vegetable matter into a homogeneous and usable soil mass can scarcely be estimated. The use of them for the small boy's fish bait and as a food supply for bird life is a minor aspect of their value. The North Dakota experiment station has been making a series of tests with the gasoline traction engine in farm operations and finds that with It and a gang of plows attached two men can plow from twenty-five to thirty acres of prairie per day at an average cost of SO cents an acre. This is as much as would be done by twenty-five horses snd five ' men. Such an outfit would be too expensive for the average small farmer, but a half dosea neighbors could without difficulty join in the purchase of It. It is questionable if the court records of any other state furnish a parallel to Iowa's celebrated Jones county calf case, which was first docketed In 1S74 and continued on the calendar for twenty-one years. There were seven prosperous farmers who lived in the southern part of Jones county. Six of them accused the seventh of steeling four six-dollar calves and brought suit, which resulted in the defendant's acquittal. He then brought suit for damages for malicious prosecution, and at the end of twenty-one years he secur ed a verdict, but not before all the defendants were bankrupt and most of them dead. The case was tried by 144 jurymen and nineteen judges, while the court costs aggregated S3U.000. What the attorneys' fees were one can imagine. The case is said to have knocked land values within a radius of ten miles S10 per acre. Interfered with the schools and played smash with the churches snd all around has been worse than a pestilence. The work on many farms where stock is kept could be made Immensely easier and cleaner snd a sight more sanitary and comfortable for the stock which have to frequent the barnyard if some plan were carried out to do away with the mite of mud and ma nure to be found within a good jump of the stable door. This muss is in part due to an Improper handling of the manure, which should be put on a spreader at once and not allowed to accumulate. leech and lose its strength exposed In rain and shine. The mire Is also the result of the fact that an the rain on the slope of the roof toward the barnyard runs into the mire and aggravates things many fold. This phase of the trouble could be remedied by equipping this slope of roof with spouts. If the mudhole persists when this is done the laying of a cement or flagstone floor in those parts of the yard where the travel Is heaviest would do the business. If this plan Is too expensive, from ten to twenty-five loads of gravel, with a top dressing of coal ashes.' will make a satisfactory underpinning. The Nebraska experiment station has lately Issued bulletin No. 100, telling of crop production at the substation in North Platte, in western Nebraska, and the principles of cultivation which were followed in the experiments. The annual rainfall at this point for thirtyfour years past has averaged 18.8 inches, which places it well within the seml-arkl belt. On the experimental plots during the years 1907 and 1906 the yields for winter wheat ranged from 20.85 to 6G.9 bushels per sere, of spring wheat from 22.6 to 40.5, of oats from 24 to 82.3 snd of barley from 1C.20 to 67.7 bushels per acre. Spring c miner yielded from 25 to S2JR bushels and varieties of corn suited to the country from 25 to SO bushels per sere. The methods of handling the land were surface cultivation, clean summer tillage or summer fallow and subsurface packing. By means of summer tillage It found that fully' eight inches of water which the plants could use might be stored in the soil under average conditions. As a means of preparing the seed bed for winter wheat this method is bijrhly recommended.

Drury Lane has psssed through aaaj vicissitudes In the course of Its existence. The first, building was very unfavorably described by Papys. whs writes of the discomfort easjsad by rain that found its way through the roof snd drenched tho occupants of the pit snd also the bad acoustic qualities of the place. Fire put an end ts these inconveniences In 1672.
