Purdue. Experts to Give Practical Instruction on Jesse
Stevens" Farm."
GENERAL INVITATION OUT
ANYONE INTERESTED IN HORTICULTURE 18 INVITED TO BE PRESENT LESSON GIVEN PRACTICAL ONE.
Preparations for a horticultural demonstration In the orchard of J. C. Stevens, three mllea north of Centervilla on October 22. by experts from Purdue university have been made. Every one who Is In the least Interested In horticulture Is Invited to attend this meeting. It will be an allday affair, the hours of demonstration being from 9 to 12 o'clock In the moraine and from 1 to 4 o'clock in
the afternoon. This will be one of the most important meelnits of its kind In Wayne county In several years as the demonstration will be practical In every way. The theories of making the orchard better will be expound d by experts of recognised ability. If the weather Is favorable there is no question but, that the attendance of fruit growers will be very' large. Among the things to be demonstrated in horticultural work Is spraying, pruning, grafting and many other important matters. The lecturers have found that practical demonstrations have been of much more value than lectures without any practical and stereoptlcon -views is not appreciated -by the fruit growers as much. Several thousand folders have been placed in the different small towns and in Richmond. The Wayne county horticultural society, pf which Mr. Stevens is president, is responsible for the Purdue faculty sending several of Its members to Centervllle. Mr. Stevens, in behalf of the society, urges all to attend, bringing their lunchea In order that they may remain during the entire day. .
supply -bills have steadily grown since until last session they exceeded a billion dollars. House leaders say that if all supply bills are again placed under the control of 'the appropriation
committee the pruning knife can be
used without Injury to any of the executive departments and a big saving
effected.
There is much talk that when the
make an effort to have all supply bills house meets in. December, Representative Tawney of Minnesota, chairman of the appropriation committee will
referred to his committee, and if he does make the light it is believed he will have the help of a number of prominent democrats. There seems to be no question that If .this reform can be Instituted President Taft's economy program can make a good showing.

dollars. One of the veteran employes of the house, speaking of the old systetm of handling the supply bills, said today that prior' to the 49th congress the appropriation committee of the house had Jurisdiction over all the appropriation bills, -save ; agriculture and rivers and harbors, and even these two bills were framed by that committee until the session of the 46th congress. ."In those days," aatd the house employe, "the expenses of the government' were 4a nothing compared to
what they are today; but there was the same degree of persistency for local appropriations, a4 the -.members stood by each other , then aa they do now. However, there was this check which has been since the 49th congress, when the house, after a bitter fight, took from, 'the appropriation , committee, the postoffice, naval, army, Indian, military and diplomatic appropriation bills, and ' distributed them among the committers having Jurisdiction of measures relating to the postofflces. Indians,- army, navy, etc. The effect of this was a noticeable increase In the government budgets over the preceding congress. The
The next regular meeting of the post will be held Saturday evening.
October 29. At that time the diamond
ring and gold watch will be disposed of and it is expected a large number of members will turn out to assist In
the event. The lunch committee Is
preparing a nice lunoh to satisfy those who are disappointed in the
ring and watch contest.
The Co ft O. railroad will put in
effect today a change in their passenger train schedules. ' No important changes are to go in effect at this
time as the new management will not attempt any new train service or radical changes until the track is put into tip top shape.. Already a large force of men Is at work on the track, every section of the road at the present time employing a great increased force of workers, doing grade and balast work.
When the road is placed In good con
ditlon some radical changes in the time and number of trains can be
looked for and the T.J. A. local rail
road chairman together with the state official of like office will endeavor to
have improved local train service to
and from Richmond on the south end
of the road out of this city.
It is urged upon every T. P. A. bav'
ing books of the ring and watch con
test to send or bring them in to see
rctary Hasty not later than Saturday, October 22. The committee wishes to
have everything in readiness by Oct
29.
Robert I. Todd, vice president of the
Terre Haute. Indianapolis & Eastern
Traction company, at the recent nat ional convention of the traction offl
cials In Atlantic City, announced him
self that in the future his companies
will Insist on courtlbus treatment of
the traveling public by their- employes
on their lnterurban cars. It is strange Indeed, that such an announcement is
called for. It Is a sad condition, but
nevertheless true; that the lnterurban
employes are woefully lacking in civ
llity and have much to learn along the
line of courteous treatment of passen
gers. True,' there are' many 'traction
employes who are . always kind, con
slderate and courteous but the re
verse conduct Is so much In evidence that the men must necessarily come under a class for condemnation. Some
traction roads are more inslstant upon civil treatment than others; In fact, a few roads have in their employ a class of men who are at all times considerate of the passengers and their welfare. These roads and the men lb charge of the carsare entitled to commendation. It la an every day ocenrrance to witness some surly conductor gruffly answer some lady or old man who might, purchance have asked a question. It is often the case that some conductor rudely replied to some question asked regarding train connections at the end of the line. Often a lady with children and bag
gage are forced to climb on the cars unassisted and off without any aid from the man who is supposed to be civil. The position taken by Mr. Todd is commendable and. the T. P. A. is ever ready to assist in any crusade of such character. Mr. Todd has become cognitant of the fact that the traction employes lack somewhat in civility and courtesy or he would not be announcing the new order that is to be. The T. P. A. trust Mr. Todd will be successful in his laudable undertaking but It will be aulte difficult to transform some of the trainmen Into real gentlemen. Chris Bailey. Marlon Shreeve and Elmer Lebo were in Indianapolis yes
terday where they went to consult
with the heads of their , respective
houses.
J. E. Osborn. secretary of Post B, In

week on business. He visited the club rooms and met several of the boys. .
The Indiana' division T. P. A. suf
fered another loss of a member by ac
cidental death last week. Robert S.
Stratton of Sullivan, Ind., was accidentally electrocuted in his home by
coming in contact with a live electric
wire. He was a member of Post G. Mrs. Stratton will receive $5,000 from the T P. A. Mr. Stratton's death
makes the third from such a cause
in the Indiana division.
A question of great weight Is up for
discussion in T. P. A. circles and
promises to cause some display of
feeling among members before it Is settled. Newt Jenkins and Newt
Worth have both raised the question as to whom shall be called "Big Newt-

"Shorty" Shreeves appears to be the
only member of Post C who is sore at

pointed him last. Thursday night.
"Shorty" had hurried around on his
trip the early part of the .wek and came into Richmond early Thursday
morning in order to be in time to get a good seat at the coliseum. .He hustl
ed down at 6 o'clock and stood until
the doors opened. Then In the scramble that followed he failed to get a seat but procured an elegant place to
stand close to the stage. There he stood until the last note was sounded and was so completely stiffened by the experience he was forced to call
a cab to get home. He swears by all
that Is good that he will now vote the democratic ticket.
King of Roumania Will Visit a Royal Brother, King George
(Special Cable from the International - - ,lfewa Service.) . . BY HERBERT TEMPLE. London. Oct 15. The King of Roumania, has Intimated, his desire to King George to pay a State visit to London during the course of next year, and there is every probability that he will be the guest of the nation In the early part of November, 1911. King
George proposes to adhere to the custom instituted by his late father, and invite his brother monarchs to visit him in turn each fall. ' Under ordinary circumstances, the first Royal visitor to these shores under these conditions would have been the Kaiser, but King George has acceded to the desire of King Charles of Roumania, and he is expected to spend about a week at Windsor Castle, paying the customary visit to London one day to lunch with
the Lord Mayor and the City Corpora
tion.
Queen Alexandra has made no plans
as yet for next spring, but in her household it is understood that she will leave in the early part of March
for a prolonged yachting cruise in the Mediterranean during which time she
will pay a visit to the King and Queen,
of the Hellenes at Athens. Her Ma
Jesty has decided, by the way, that she will not be present at any of the'eourt festivities in the early part of next year, and indeed, her next public appearance will probably be at the Coronation. Contrary to what was at first understood, she will not take any official part in the crowning of her Bon, but will be present merely as a spectator.

and scientific burglar. This, however,
I believe is .largely due to the fact that only a very few workmen could be employed to ensure secrecy as to the means adopted to effect the safety of the Crown Jewels. Not even the trusted wardens of the Tower have been allowed, as one of them put it. "within an ass's roar of the place." Meanwhile, the jewels are reposing safely in the vaults of the Bank of England.
Heretofore it has been the invaria
ble practice of the Army and Navy studiously to ignore the presence in this country of officers of German nationality, whose proceedings would have been sufficiently suspicious to have insured their immediate arrest if they had been in France or Russia. The extremely serious circumstances surrounding "L'Affaire Helm," as it has already been written of on the Continent, has, however, forced the War Offlco to make a move in another direction. The action of German re
servists as collectors of military in- saino terms
by the assertion of a weekly paper that
a member of the present Cabinet has
been engaged in the business of selling titles, and the people of England,
who have always claimed that this
kind of traffic was to be found on the
continent only are profoundly shocked. The paper writes: "Considerable surprise has been expressed in many quarters lately at certain selections that have been made for the bestowal of knighthoods and baronetcies, and one often hears
expressions of wonder at the manner in which these titles are obtained. A recent Instance which can be abso
lutely vouched for sheds an Interest ing sidelight on this matter.
An extremely well known member
of the cabinet approached a wealthy I mill owner just before the commons j rose and asked him if he thought he !
could provide tHe sum of $23,000 to
further the cause of free trade and more especially to lay before the country the government view of Mr. Lloyd George's land taxes. . The mill
owner in -question has been well known for some years past as an ardent supporter of liberal and radical
policies, and was not averse to con
tinuing his usual extremely handsome
subscriptions, but he rather demurred
at putting down such a substantial
sum at what was practically a moment's notice. When he hesitated the minister told him in so many words that if he would do 'as he was asked he should have a knighthood in the next list of honors due on the first day of next year or if he liked to increase it to $50,000 he could have a peerage. , - These facts it should be stated, are incontrovertible, but the minister resolutely declined for reasons that can be easily understood to put them into writing. The manufacturer, in other words, had to take them or leave them, and trust to the bare
word of the minister who obviously
thought that such a bribe would secure the much needed money which
after all would be a comparatively
small trifle to the mill owner. He had reckoned, however without the sturdy independence of the York-
shireman's character, and was considerably surprised when the latter told
him bluntly that he would never consent under any circumstances to buy a title, and that to Bhow his contempt for the methods employed to raise the money, 'he would not in future
subscribe a single farthing to the par
ty funds. At first the minister tried
to pooh- pooh the offer he had made,
and insinuated that if the manufacturer was not prepared 'to And the money there were plenty of others
who would be glad to do so on the
produced no result he proceeded to refer to several who have recently received titles, an to Instance what their services had been for which they were refarded. In each case these services had been of a pecuniary character.-' . . ? .. It has been known, of course, for several years past that the easiest
way in which to obtain a handle to
one's name is to support one or the other of the great political parties to
the tune of several thousand a year.
and the title comes along as a matter
of course. But never has this game
more systematically than is the case today.
