MORTGAGES IN THE
COUNTY ARE SHOWN Record for 1909 as Compared with Preceding Year Is Reported. COUNTY IS NOT ERRATIC ONE OF THE FEW BAILIWICKS IN THE STATE WHICH SHOWED NO INDICATION OF TOO MUCH SPECULATION. Although mortgages taken out on any kind of property in Wayne county usually are short lived, nevertheless in this county a greater amount of money was borrowed during 1909 than in 1908, by residents giving mortgages on all kinds of property. There were fewer mortgages on Wayne county farms in 1909 however, than in 1908 and the decrease almost offsets the Increase shown In the corporations. According to the yearly statistical records compiled by State Statistician Peeta of Indianapolis there were SOI mortgages filed with County Recorder .Will Robblna for the year 1909. The total amount thus loaned, according to the records, was $614,278. During the preceedlng fiscal year the number of mortgage obligations filed was 475, calling for a total amount of $425,420. The foregolnx figures apply to Richmond and other corporations In the county. Mortgages on farm properties showaid a decrease both In numbers and In the total amount borrowed. During 1909 mortgages on farms decreased from 309. the number during the preceeding fiscal year, to 282. The total amount raised . dropped from $509,105 to $419,068. The county is one of the few bailiwicks In the state which preserved nearly an even tenor and from these statistics no evidence of rratlo or over-imaginative investment and speculation Is indicated. EARLHAM IS HOW OHE OF THE BEST : IUDIANA SCHOOLS (Continued From Page One.) to ; the Institution! ' An appended repeat to hat of the treasurer, showed some startling figures. Of the $14.. 995 subscribed at the last Indiana Yearly Meeting, toward Earlham's indebtedness, 88 percent was subscribed by five members of the board of trustees, and faculty. "The other 18 percent was subscribed by people not connected with the college In an official way. The report also showed that the committee appointed by the Richmond Commercial club to raise funds for paying the Earlham debt, bad raised $3,000.' After the address by Dr. Kelly, Lester . Haworth who was recently appointed by the college as the field representative and who will have charge of the raising of the money to pay off the Indebtedness, said that he was la the work to help the college help Indiana Yearly Meeting and to help Indiana Yearly Meeting help the college. Products of Earlham. Professor Edwin Morrison of Earlnam presented some .Interesting statistics which ho secured after a study of the alumni bulletins. It showed that Earlham alumni now rill 10 full professorships In leading universities. that there were sixty college profes sors among 'the alumni, sixty-eight ministers, sixteen editor and publish ers and that one In every twelve mem bers of the alumni were missionaries, Charles V. Coffiu,' whose father was one of the founders of Earlham col- ' lege, said that ' ho remembered the time in 1831 when his father and other Friends talked about the founding of Earlham at the Iudlana Yearly Meeting. He said that he had confidence In the success of Earlham and hoped that the endowments could be Increased. M. M. White. - the "greatest living benefactor of Earlham. spoke to the Yearly Meeting In his interesting mannor. He said that he had thoroughly examined the securities of Earlham and found that the endowment fund Was m-all Invait Ma mmlA k 1 1. Earlham was going forward and not backward and that because of the Ileal debt the Yearly Meet Ins should not be discouraged. Wanted to Contribute. Mr. White said that he remembered the first money he ever contributed to Earlham. It was when he was a young man and had Just $37.50. He K&v every cent of that to the college. Mr. White said that he was sorry that a collection was not to be taken for Earlham and that he had come there prepared to contribute toward the indebtedness, lie said to the Meeting that "if you give money reluctantly yon are doubly poor. You lose both the money and satisfaction of giving. At the conclusion of his remarks Timothy Nicholson asked all thoae present that had attended Earlham stand up. About one-third of the audience arose. M. M. White and Edward Young were those present from the class of l$4T.t Reports of Academies.

Weather Reports to the Rural
Residents of BL 8IDNEY ESPEY. , Washington, Sept. 24. 'To the average urban resident the dally weather forecasts mean very little except to those who are susceptible to colds and generally read the forecasts to determine whether or. not it will be necessary to wear rubbers or take their umbrellas with them. But to the rural residents these forecasts mean much, and as a matter of fact are really intended for them. ' Of course, it is a common saying almost everywhere, that the weather bureau is always wrong, and if it predicts sunshine you can-count on it raining or snowing, but as a matter of fact these criticisms are more for jest than anything else, and if the truth t were known the socalled wise-acres of the rural districts follow the forecasts with implicit confidence. These wise-ones have too often profited from the special storm warnings issued by the weather bureau by taking time by the forelock and saving crops or stock which would otherwise have been ruined, not to place credence in the weather bureau bulletins and forecasts. Although the weather bureau has various functions to perform, from measuring rainfall and humidity to recording earthquakes . thousands of miles away, by far its most important work is the issuance of the daily forecasts of the weather for every state In the union, as well as special warnings . of storm or hurricane, of frost, sudden cold waves, heavy snows and floods whenever circumstances war rant them. " The main office of the weather bureau is located in Washington, less than one mile from the white house. The operations of the bureau are based entirely on observations of the weather taken at the same moment of time at about 200 observatories throughout the United States, and telegraphed dally to the central office in Washington and to many Important cities throughout the country. These observations, comprising barometric pressure, temperature, precipitations, winds and clouds are entered upon outline charts of the United States by means of suitable symbols, forming the "daily weather map" from which the forecasts are made. These are the maps we see of the city hanging about offices, hotels and other public places and which we pay little attention to. What is considered to be the most important and which receives the widest ' distribution is what is known as the morning forecast ' It can not be given to the public before 10 o'clock in the morning, since It is based on the 8 a. m., observation, and in view of the fact that it requires AT

about two hours for transmission and on the preparation of the charts. The morning forecast covers the period ending at 8 p. m., of the following day. Next in importance are the special warnings, which are constantly being heralded throughout the country telling of the approach of some unexpected change in the weather, which if it caught the farmer or stock raiser unawares, would provo most costly. These warnings are. : usually issued from twenty-four to thirty-six hours in advance,- though flood warnings for important cities near the lower courses of the larger waters are sometimes issued a week' or more In advance. Every possible means is taken to distribute the forecasts as promptly and as widely as possible. . They are first telegraphed to about 2,300 principal distributing points, from where they are further disseminated by telegraph, telephone, and mail. In the case of mail the bureau has at its command, post cards, rural free delivery slips, weather maps and daily newspapers. Principally for the purpose , of receiving weather warnings at the earliest possible moment many agriculturists have installed telephones in their homes. Last year there were more than 2,000 telephone companies co-operating with , the weather bureau in the distribution of the weather forecasts. The special warnings of the bureau have played a prominent part in building up. the orange groves in Flor ida, and in the planting of other crops In that far southern territory. In Florida and various other states the railways make 'a very effective distri bution of cold 'wave warnings by sounding four long blasts from the en gine. This whistle signal thus gives prompt warning to the farmers sever al miles distant ., from the railroad that a cold wave is on Its way. Often steamers on rivers display cold wave flags with great advantage to farmers living near the streams. Among the other important information heralded by the weather bureau is the Cotton Region Bulletin which Richmond Feed Store 11 & 13 N. 9th Ffccae2M$ CONKEY'O' J. A. WALLS

gives the temperature and precipitation in the cotton belt during the growing season. A similar ; bulletin la issued for the corn and wheat' belts which covers immense grain interests In the northwest. It Is ; rare for the bureau to "go wrong" bo to speak, in its forecasts and the farmers unlike' the majority of city residents place great confidence in the word of this great and active bureau. The weather warnings are particularly beneficial to the. fruit .growers.
In regard to the method employed to protect the. fruit .one of the. experts of the weather bureau says: Beginning with the fall of the year fruit is spread upon trays for sun drying and curing. In September in nearly all of the .valleys of California, large quantities of grapes are spread upon trays and exposed to the sun. If these, should be rained upon they would becqme dirty and sticky, and instead of becoming high grade raisins they might prove only 'fit for wine vats. They would most likely lose two thirds of their original vahie. When the weather . bureau forecasts showers, laborers go at once into the vineyards' and stack the trays ' one above another.

This is the oldest and most honorable greeting which a ship c-au'xlve. It Kinks before the booming of guns, however many. This mi lute has always beeu demanded by English speaking seamen, and its exaction has burned the hearts and the powder of generations of naval commanders. For n foreign ship, whether merchant or innrtltil, to enter an English (Hirt without veiling topsails or dipping its national flag was to court the chance of war. although the profoundest peace existed. Without warning or argument the shore defenses or a man-of-war would send a round of shot across the hows or between the masts of the Insolent intruder, and if the offending Hag came not down instantly the foreigner was brought to her senses by being raked through and through. Such was the reception accorded by Sir John Hawkins in the sixteenth ceutury to the Spanish admiral who in time of peace sailed into Portsmouth sound without veiling bis topsails or lowering bis flag. Salutes are essential matters of naval etiquette and are exchanged under an elaborate code arranged between the powers. The number of guns to be fired under all conceivable circumstances ia minutely stipulated. New York Press, THE OLD OAKEN BUCKET.

In the extreme western states the forecasts of cold rains or snow are valuable to woolgrowerai l enabling them to protect their sheep at lambing time and when shearing: is underway." V :;.'': ; The storm warnings, which are more generally for the benefit of the marine interests, are sometimes beneficial to the farmers dwelling near the coasts. ' In the cotton belt the announcement of the approach of a West India hurricane, which is almost al-vaj-s accominied by a driving rain and high winds, is beneficial when there is much open cotton in the fields. Frequently the planters have employed all their hands to pick the
! cotton before the storm arrived aaved it from being blown out of the bolls and soiled by the rain and mud., ' The flood warnings are said to have reached a wonderful degree, of accuracy. The warnings are usually issued so far in advance of the arrival of the crest of the Hood that agricultural and other interests derive immense benefit' from them. lag it Is ii l.v ... i h tfrl-x on of a refrtgrr.it i-i-,-Jul , hjh-u the doi-t and take it out.
