DEE HIVES EASILY STOLEN IN FEBRUARY Washington. I). C, Feb. 9. February Is one of the few months in which It Is safe to steal a bee hive. This fact was Impressed upon William H. Weiser, a Twining City farmer, who came to police headquarters today to report that during the chill of Saturday night bis place had been robbed of one bee hive. The hive was Inhabited when the thieves arrived, but they carefully took away the twenty pounds of honey it contained, throwing the proprietors into a nearby creek and dumping the hive bottom up in Farmer Veiser"s dooryard.

Democrats and Liberals Have Family Row Which May Split Family and Leave Child Orphan.

HIGH LICENSE THE CAUSE OF TROUBLE There Is Good Possibility of the Legislature Adjourning Without Passing a Regulation Act. PASSED THE SENATE (Palladium Special) Indianapolis. Feb. 9. The Senate witnessed a .union of forces of the brewery interests and the Anti-Saloon league tais morning to defeat Proctor's high license regulative bill. The coalition was not enough and the bill passed the senate, 27 to 21, Commons voted for it. It makes the license fee of $700 in cities. (Palladium Special) Indianapolis, Feb. 9. Tho Anti-sa-ioon leaguers are happy. There's a reason. The Democrats and liberal forces are in a family row over t'ae Proctor regulative and restrictive bill in the senate that gives every promise of breaking up the family and leaving the child to the mercies of the cruel world. The break is serious because it came without heat or impulse, and furthermore because it has reached the stage where tact, reason and con ciliation have fled and those entertain ing different opinions upon' the liquor question are saying if they cannot have their respective ways with tho bill they would prefer none, even though it meairs going before the peo ple of the state and fighting out state-wide prohibition campaign. Opponents of the high license in the senate admit they may not be able to defeat the ?700 and $300 license bow 4 -4be bill in the- senate, - but that in the conclusion they will have their way. Their line of reasoning is like this. The house will probably raise the license to $1,000, judging from a poll taken of that body. May Be No Liquor Laws. Then the amended . bill will come back to the senate during the last days of the session, and the opponents of high license figure there is enough opposition to a $1,000 license in the senate to throw the whole bill into a muddle and result in its dying a quiet death and the legislature adjourning without passing any regulative measure. Then the people of the state would arise and with one accord and call the legislature anything and everything but blessed, which is where the anti-saloon league figures it would set in the game with a stack of blues bet on state-wide prohibition. The seriousness of the situation may be rea.ized when it is known the liberal element believes it can win in a fight of this kind, and furthermore it freely says it would rather stake everything upon a state-wide prohibition fight than to stand for a $700 and $.00 license or a license any higher than that. Peace Agreement Torn Asunder. It all started in the senate Wednesday afternoon when &n attempt- was ! made by Senator Stotsenberg, with full sympathy of many of his Democratic brethren, to undo all that was done in the senate last week in regard to the fixing of the license fees at $700 i and $300. That which was considered I settled suddenly became unsettled, I dissatisfaction appeared where all tad j been contentment and when the senlate adjourned in the midst of the dej bate enough ultimatums had been delivered to place m doubt the chance3 ,of getting a restrictive and regulative measure through this legislature. I The Proctor bill came up in the seriate for the third reading and passage ! Wednesday at Z p. m., as a special orjder and it was thought with a few fjn;ish;ng touches and a Httle polish it would skim through. One important ! change was made that of revoking a licc-rte for only two year3 instead of making revocation permanent, and a minor one regarding the jurisdiction of cities in territory, where the fivemile district overlapped. Then came the storm. Senator Ste'sonterg introduced an amendment which rejected the license fees of $700 and $500 accepted in the senate iast week by leaving it up to tlie city councils to ixn the license fees, and unless councils took action ithe fees to be as they are now. ! Immediately Senator Proctor introjduced as a substitute this amendment one which provided for a flat $1,000 j license fee. Stotsenberg Starts Fight. The fight was on. The Stotsenberg amendment which sought to undo all that bad been accomplished last week found support from Senators Royse and Beal. of Vigo county, Kistler, of LogansporU Fleming, of Ft. Wayne. Darre and Carleton, of EvansvIIle. and others who made no public expression of their opinion, but who represent (Continued on Page Six.)

THINKS TRADE PACT SHOULD HAVE TRIAL If Not Successful, He Says, It Can Be Repealed at Any Time He Pays Tribute to Canada. (American Xews Service) Washington, Feb. 9. In a notable speech in the senate today Senator Beveridge put himself on record ia favor of the Canadian Reciprocity. Standing alone among all the Republican progressive senators but on no new. solid soil for he has long advocated reciprocal trade relations with Canada, the Indiana senator placed above certain local considerations of his own state. The saiije appeals from farmer's organizations, granges, patrons of husbandry aud other producers that have come to other senators from states bordering oa Canada or the great lakes have been addressed to the senator from Indiana. His progressive collegues from Wisconsin, Minnesota, and Idaho have yielded to them but lie has stood fast for the broadening of commerce. The sena-j tor finds himself in strange political company. He is in the attitude today of defending one of President Taft's most important progressive policies. His speech was givent he closest attention by his collegues, whose interest has focused on the reciprocity pact with Canada. "Shall the United States and Canada begin a policy of mutual trade concessions and commercial friendllness" inquired the senator in opening his remarks, J!'or sbail-ws make a permanent policy or trade obstruction and commercial hostility between these countries" Can eB Repealed. The senator declared these were the vital question involved. The senator pointed out that if the experiment of reciprocal trade relations with Cana- ; da proved a failure, it could be easily be dispensed with. "For, while ' this is a reciprocal arrangement, it ; takes the form of a statute, which cau j be repealed at any time, instead of a treaty, whihe cannot," he said. The senator enumerated the peculiar reasons that made reciprocal trade with Canad desirable. 'She is as intimately associated with the United States as one of our own states; nearer to us geographically than Florida is to Oregon -or as California is to Maine." said Senator Beveridge. "The people of Canada are mainly of our own blood. They speak the same language, have identical institutions, laws springing from the same spirit and inspiration, the same policy, and the attitude of the United States and Canada toward the rest of the world are similar. Their industrial methods are alike, their Standards of living the same and their wages not widely different." The senator declared that if there had never been any trade barricade erected between the two countries the people of the United States would not now permit it to be done. In conclusion he said. "It springs from mutual necessities of millions of human beings. Let no small and temporary motives of local and unwise selfisbness prevent the beginning of this noble policy." BRUMLEY OBJECTED BEING CALLED LIAR By calling him a liar, J. R. Garner, a carpenter, i alleged to have insuited J. R.

EARL STEVENS WON WHITE CORN PRIZE

"Com King" Gore Spoke at Coliseum Last Evening and a Number of Farmers Heard Address. ;-- Joseph Helms, prominent agriculturist residing near Centerville, produced the bushel of yellow corn that won first prize in the corn exhibit held in connection with the Farmers' Short Course and Corn School. The bushel of white corn entered by Earl Stevens, living near Centerville, was graded first In its class. Although the prizes for the best single ear and . group of ten ears were withdrawn on account of lack of entries, a scoring of the few single ears entered result- . ed in first place being given to the entry of Edward Deitmeyer. The first prizes awarded to Helms and Stevens consisted : of two twohorse cultivators. The other prizes awarded are as follows: Second prize yellow corn, . flve-tooth ? cultivator, Frank Kuhlman, east of tho city; second prize, white corn, one-horse cultivator, Daniel .Medearis, Center township; first prize, mixed corn, onehorse Hoosier drill, Gaar Eliason, Centerville; third prize, yellow com, lawn mower, Oliver Myers, east of Richmond; third prize, white corn, lawn mower, Edward Dcltemeyer, north of Richmond; . prize for whito corn, 250 pounds of fertilizer, C. M. ' Hill, near Richmond. Committee Disappointed. But for the fact that all prizes awarded were donated by merchants and manufacturing concerns' of Richmond, the exhibit would have proved a costly failure. ' Only ten entries were made in the bushel class and so few in the single ear and group of ten. class that tho ; committeemen, felt compelled to withdraw the money prizes, ranging from $1 to $5 which had been offered. It was hoped by the officials of the school to secure more than one hundred entries from farmers in this vicinity, and they feci sorely disappointed over the outcome. All of the entries were auctioned off at the Leeds building where the ex hibit was held at noon today. A Jo- -tal of $29.05 was netted in this manner. It will be used to defray tho general expense of the course. . The largest price paid was $10 bid by Rudolph G. Leeds for the prize winning bushel of Joseph Helms. D. H. Kuth paid $6 for the two bushels of yellow corn winning second and third prizes. The rest of the corn averaged about $1.25 per bushel. , , Address by Clore. L. B. Clore of Johnson' county, Indiana, champion corn grower of tho world, delivered a lecture at the Coliseum last evening in the Farmers Short Course on the methods of corn production practiced by him. As Mr. Clore, who is also a representative from Johnson county to the state leg-' islature, has raised so many prizewinning ears that he bas been barred from competing in the national contests oa the ground that no other producer is given a chance, the farmers of this vicinity followed him closely in his outline of the methods which enabled him to grow the standard ears and the large amount of bushels per acre. Keen interest was manifested at all times in the authoritative statements of Mr. Clore and from the comments at the close of the lecture it was clearly evident that the farmers, felt repaid by thi3 one event for their entire expense at the short course. Drainage according to Mr, Clore is one of the roo3t important features in com production. He declared that only the best results are obtained when the field is properly and thoroughly drained. Mr. Clore said that the system in use on bis farm had cost about $22.50 per acre, but that results had fully justified the outlay. The subject of fertilizers was given particular attention , by the speaker. Practically everything depends, he said upon securing the right kind of fertilizer for the right soil. He advocated a plan whereby, various plots of land should be treated with various kinds of fertilizers for the purpose of (Continued on Page Six.)
