Sohool Finds Out That Period Of Time, or Longer, Must Be Paid, Renewed or Will Be Foreclosed.
TROUBLE IN STORE FOR THE BORROWERS New Ruling Will Be a Great Inconvenience to Men Who Have for Years Just Been Paying Interest. Indianapolis, Aug. 26. The county auditors from all- over the state have, been informed that they must call in very school fund loan that has run five years or longer, and that all of such loans must be either paid, renewed or foreclosed. It is feared that this will mean a great deal of trouble for borrowers who have been carrying their loans along for years by merely paying the interest. The County Auditors association is in session in this city, and this school fund loan matter is, one of the. most important propositions that has been considered at the meeting. The attorney general's office was appealed to finally and it gave an opinion to the effect that school fund loans cannot under the law run longer than five years. The law so states in emphatic language. Are Having Troubles. Counties are already having trouble to loan the school funds which are alloted them by the state, and when this restriction is added they will have a still harder time to place the money. The law requires each county to accept the school fund money alloted it by the state and the county is also required to pay the state six percent interest on all such money alloted to it. It makes no difference whether the county is able to loan this money out or not it must pay the state the six percent interest on the entire amount just the same. Some counties have succeeded in loaning all of Its allotment, but a majority of the counties have not, and therefore they are losers on the deal to the extent of the six percent interest which it has to pay on the funds which it is not able to loan. " '" " ,;" "' -. The demand for school fund loans has not been as brisk in the last few years as it was formerly, because of the rate of interest which has to be charged. It is well known that a borrower can easily get all the eastern and private money i wants at five percent, which is one percent less than what he has to pay for school fund loans, because people wilj not pay six percent for a loan when they ran' get it for five percent. Is Laying Idle. .The result has been that in many counties the school fund money has accumulated and has been lying idle in the county treasuries while the counties were required to keep right on paying interest to the state for it. It is pointed out that the only way to remedy this difficulty is to have the law changed so as to permit the county auditor tosloan the money at the current rate of interest, whatever that may be at the time the loan is made. In that way it is believed every dollar of the school fund money could be loaned and be made to earn interest for the county instead of being a dead weight in the county treasury. Many of the county auditors have allowed the school fund loans to run beyond the five year limit, because If they would call in the loans at the end of the five year term the borrowers would borrow money from some one else at a lower rate of interest and pay them off. So they have allowed the loans to run in order to keep the money employed. But now that , the attorney general has told them that this is illegal it will be up to the auditors at once to call in all overtime loans. Some of the auditors say that if they have to do this It will mean that many borrowers will not be able to raise the money to pay off their loans, .In such cases the mortgages will have to be foreclosed, and the property sold to pay the loans. They say they fear that many a man will lose his farm or his home in this way. Therefore, the question is one of extreme importance. CURED HAY FEVER AND SUMMER COLD A. S. Nusbaum. Batesville, Indiana, writes: "Last year I suffered for three months with a summer cold so distressing that it interfered with my business. I had many of the symptoms of hay fever and a doctor's prescription did not reach my case, and I took everal medicines which seemed only to aggravate It; Fortunately I insisted upon having Foley's Honey and Tar. It quickly cured me. My wife has since used Foley's Honey and Tar with the same success." A. G. Iaiken & Co. Rubies are more valuable than diamonds, and are practically indestructible, except by fire. While a flawless diamond of one karat may be worth roughly about $100, a perfect ruby of the same weight would be worth at least $200. With increase of sire the difference becomes much greater. A diamond of ten karats is worth, perhaps. $4,000, while a ruby of that weight would be worth any price u? to $70,000. which was the value placed on a unique stone exhibited at the Franco-British exposition in London, last year.

II BIG POTATO CHOP Outlook for Tubers Is Very Good at the Present Time. WET SEASON BENEFICIAL Reports from every section of the county and from every potato produc ing section of the country are to the effect that there will be an immens potato crop harvested this fall. The yield promises to be larger than ever before and the tubers are large and uf good quality. The wet season had much to do with making the crop what it is and a much larger acreage than ever was planted. Farmers and truckers are coming more and more each year to learn that potatoes are a profitable crop, in fact more profitable than most any crop grown here and are acting accordingly by planting larger crops and a better producing quality of potatoes. Because of the large crop it is expected that the price will be very reasonable or about no cents to 65 cents a bushel at digging time. Baseball Results NATIONAL LEAGUE.

A BIG SENSATION Well Near Salem Is Reported To Average Ninety Barrels Now. "WILDCATTING" RESULTS SURROUNDING TERRITORY IS BEING TAKEN UP WITH LEASES AND MANY ARE PREPARING TO DRILL SOON. Winchester, Ind., Aug. 26. What is considered the most sensational oil strike for the past several weeks is the well on the Smiley farm in Randolph county, just over the Jay-Randolph line and one mile south of Salem. The well, which sent out a continuous spray of the crude product from the time it was shot and still holding up at 90 barrels, is sufficiently large to encourage operations. The discovery of oil in that locality was the result of a 'wild cat" venture by a Ft. Recovery firm and it is now believed that surrounding territory will be developed into one of the largest fields in Indiana. Leasers are already actively engaged in taking up the unleased territory and everything available is being signed with a view of sinking other wells. The well on the Smiley farm is considered a most important one as the drilling of it is the first development of any attempt to find oil in that section of the state. If the pool which is believed to underlay the ground in the vicinity of the Smiley farm is located it is probable that operations will extend over the state line into Ohio as the Smiley No. 1 is located only a couple of miles west of the dividing line between the two states. Artificial ice making in the tropics comes high. Water of 60 degrees or 65 grees can easily and cheaply be thrown into icy ingots of cooling joy, but when it comes to cooling water of 75 or SO degrees the difficulty is strangely increased, even to doubling prices. Ice in Buenos Aires retails for $1,25 gold a hundred, yet Buenos Aires is a fairly liberal town, and would be a great consumer of a cheap and plentiful product. State of Ohio, City of Toledo.

Cries Guide Blind Man in Rescuing Drowning Boy
Atlantic City, N. J., Aug. .Although almost sightless because of a. recent injury that caused loss of one eye and almost total blindness in the other. John Robinson, a fisherman, leaped into the swift waters of the Thoroughfare and saved the life of 10-year-old Morris Hughes who had tumbled from a railroad bridge whil? fishing. Robinson made his way to the sinking boy by following the cries and was compelled to ask excited spectators on shore to guide him with their calls to get back to the bank with his burden. The boy has recovered. Hughes is the son of George Hughes a railroad engineer, and had slipped PROPOSE A FAT JOB Watson Mentioned for Place On the New Tariff Commission. IS ENDORSED BY CANNON A special correspondent of the Dry Goods Economist, the largest retail dry goods journal in the United States, writes in the last issue, published in New York, the following: "Although no official designations have as yet been made the name of James B. Reynolds, now assistant secrtary of the treasury in charge of the customs division, is unofficially mentioned as a prebable member of the new tariff board. It is known also that James B. Watson, former representative in congress from the Sixth district of Indiana is being urged for membership on the board and has the earnest support of Speaker Cannon in that connection. "Headquarters for the board will be provided in the treasury department, and it is possible that it may consist of five instead of three members, as the number is left discretionary with the president. PREBLE IS DRY TOO Eaton, O., Aug. 26. For a Preble county farmer to lose chickens is not an uncommon matter, but to lose them in the manner John Frank lost four is an unusual occurrence. While routing a weasel, which had already taken one chicken, Frank witnessed a large rat emerge from under a barn and seize the second.: Frank stood by and saw the third killed by an opposum and the fourth carried off by. a large chicken hawk, which swooped down Into the arena of activity. Frank says all this happened in less than a period of ten minute.

His calsl for help, however, were answered by the half blind Robinson, who bravely plunged overboard. The rescuer first touched the boy's hat. but changed his course in time t follow the gurgling cries of the lad and dived just in time to grab the youngster by the clothing.
