She was found about 10 o'clock and had possibly been dead several hours.

Mr. and Mrs. Frank Tingle and son, Paul, of Connersville, were guests of Mr. and Mrs. B. F. Griffin Tuesday evening, going from this city to Richmond to attend the funeral of a relative. The ladles of the Social Union, of the Methodist church, find that after meeting all obligations, they have cleared three hundred and sixty-eight dollars, the proceeds from the Christmas bazaar. The annual Farmers' Institute was held Wednesday in the Hurst opera house. The sessions throughout the day were unusually well attended. Rev. J. E. Coffin offered the Invocation. Charles Davis, of Rickville, presented the subject, "Poultry Raising on the Farm," treating it along the lines of pure bred stock, the cost, and care, the poultry house and its equipment, and the feed and feeding. Cyrus Whiteley discussed the subject In a very practical manner, speaking of the brooder, Its advantages and disadvantages, and judgment to be exercised In the care of young chickens. He also argued that a woman should have been assigned the duty given him. since she has the true. Instinct of motherhood, therefore the proper one to know of and care for the little chicks. J. G. Prigg, of DaleviUe. spoke on "Wheat Improvement," presenting it from the standpoint of inmprovement of the soli, which naturally causes improvement of grain. He discussed the chemical and physical condition of the soil, emphasising the Importance of drainage, and the use of commercial fertiliser. He illustrates his lecture by the use of charts, showing the comparative amount of grains raised In different countries. A general discussion followed. The afternoon session opened with music, piano and drum, by Edwin Calloway and Clifford M arson. Mr. Prigg discussed the subject, "Breeding and Feeding of Hogs," showing the relative Importance of live stock on the farm and the common oatUa-feed, and precaution to be taken against disease. Clayton Daugherty led the discussion bringing out many good points in regard to the subject, and speaking especially of the corn house, and Its structure Mr. Davis then addressed the Institute -on "The Kducation of Boys and Iris for Rural Life." He stated that this ie not a new subject, inasmuch, that It began in this country, when the Pilgrim " Fathers, embarked to 'America, in order to gain greater freedom in both religious and educational ! lines, showing that thia had been ac-

compllshed, as is demonstrated by the fact that the United States stands among the foremost countries of the world in point of education. That this education begins in the home and citing the advantages of the common school urging that it be made practical, rather than theoretical, and pointing to the importance of the country church, as representing a high ideal. B. F. Wissler, of this city, led in the discussion, emphasizing the fact, that if America Is to be recognized as the "Land of The Free" it must educate its children in such a manner that they may become worthy successors of the generation. Mrs. Charles Sites, of New Castle, has been tbe guest of her mother, Mrs. Susie Guyton. Rev. J. E. Coffin transacted busi

ness in Milton, Thursday. Mr. and Mrs. F. L. Scudder, observ ed the fifth anniversary of their marriage by entertaining - a few friends Tuesday evening. A threecourse dinner was served, at which Mr. and Mrs. Laurence Ogborn, Mr. and Mrs. Edwin Calloway, and Mr. and Mrs. George Butler were guests. Gatty Sellars, the renowned English organist, will give a second recital in the Methodist church Friday evening, the twenty-sixth, instead of the twenty-fifth, as preslously announced. Mrs. Charles Wheeler was hostess Thursday afternoon for the Young Married Ladles' Card club. There were players at three tables. After the game, a substantial lunch, consisting of roast beef, salad, pickles, sandwiches, coffee, mince pie, cake, and mints was served. Rev. and Mrs. J. E. Coffin entertained the officers and teachers of the Methodist Sunday school with their wives and husbands, at the parsonage Wednesday evening. The time was spent socially. Light refreshments were served during the evening. ECONOMY, IND. ECONOMY, lnd., Jan. 20. Is spring close at hand? From the large number of robins that were seen Monday by several West River parties over in Dalton township, one would infer that an early spring may be looked for. The earliest we ever noted the robins arrival was February 14, 1908. There was an early spring then. January 15, 1912, more than 100 were seen. Tuesday night after lodge several of Ora Edwarde" friends gave him a surprise that was immensely enjoyed Those present were Mrs. Alice Fralzer, Mr. and Mrs. J. O. Edwards, Mr. and Mrs. Joe Cain, Mrs. Clorenna Oler, Mies Edith Lamb, Miss Mary Edwards, Herman Lamb and Charley Edwards. Ice cream and cake were the refreshments served. The M. E. protracted meeting, that began last Sunday is well attended, with a growing interest daily. Prof. V. H. Alexander, of Hartford City, will commence conducting the singing on Thursday evening, January 18, and will be here an indefinite time. Mr. and Mrs. Frank Underhill and children, of Greensforg were visiting Hiatt's Wednesday. Charles A. Mendenhall does not believe in burning up daylight by telling what is going to be done the next day, but gets on a hustle and sells things. ,Ora Cates, of near Williamsburg, was here Wednesday. Lee Anderson of Williamsburg, spent Tuesday here. Prosecutor, Charles Ladd, of Richmond, was here Tuesday looking up a case. Rev. Oliver Fraser's sermons have been published in book form and will soon be on the market for sale. Miss Edith Lamb worked in central office Wednesday morning. Wash For the Hair. The washing of the hair is especially Important now that the hair is worn flat, and hair not property washed might just as well not be washed at all. Parisian beauty doctors are using a hair washing paste the foundation of which Is powdered soap. You cover the powder with boiling water, add some borax and orris root with a little sachet powder of your favorite scent, and you are ready to begin. When it i all of bubble you take it off tbe fire and stir In some whole oatmeal. When It cools it Is ready for use. If a very high perfume is desired some oil of rose geranium is added. You will then have a jelly, not very clear because of the oatmeal and orris, but smelling delightful. After tbe paste is thoroughly worked In tbe rinsing must begin. Many persons do not understand how difficult it is to rinse the hair properly. The trouble Is that the individual hairs are coated with soap, and the water must be hot and used with force to get the sonp out. That la the theory and secret of i Too Mueh Appreciation. A biography of Huxley dwells on the annoyance which be suffered from bores. But the plague had its funny Ida. Huxley once wrote to a friend: "I had a letter from a fellow yesterday morning who must be a lunatic, to the effect that he had been reading my essays, thought I was the man to spend a month with and was coming down by the 6 o'clock train attended by his seven children and his mother In-lawr Defunct, Arithmetically.

MSSNBttKt IMPROVED ROADS IN AMERICA Seme Startling Facts Given Regarding Unimproved Thoroughfares in the United States. There are in the United States a little more than two million one hundred and fifty thousand miles of roads. Of this mileage only one hundred and seventy-six thousand, four hundred and twenty-nine miles are improved, or eight and two-tenths per cent of the total, according to statistics gathered by the government office of public roads. The improved roads are those surfaced with gravel, stone, or with some special material. The most striking feature of these statistics is the enormous extent of unimproved roads in the United States. An expenditure of something like $3,000,000,000 would be required to convert th common earth roads King Road Drag. of the country Into even good gravel roads. That this is desirable few will gainsay, and that it is becoming necessary under modern conditions and the relations now existing between producer and consumer is also quite generally admitted. The increased cost of hauling over unimproved roads is an immense tax upon the farmer and those who purchase his products, and is a restriction on the crops which can be raised and moved in certain localities. The Interstate Commerce commission finds that two hundred and sixty five million tons of agricultural, forest and miscellaneous products of the land are hauled to depots for shipment in the course of a year. Figured on a basis of the average haul at the lowest average rate over unimproved roads, 23 cents per ton per mile, the cost would be four-hundred-thirty-two millions, four hundred thousand dollars. If the hauling could be reduced to one-half the present average or 11 He a ton, the resultant saving would exceed $200,000,000 a year. That such a saving is reasonable Is Indicated by the experiences in other countries and In localities where improved roads are found. The cost of hauling on such Improved roads is placed at from 8 to 10 cents per ton. The introduction of wise and equitable road laws and good business management . would, it is estimated, save forty million dollars more in the administration of the country's roads or leave it for some other use. ARTICHOKE FOR THE TABLE Vegetable Can Be Grown in Almost Any Garden and Makes Most Delicious Change In the Dishes. The artichoke, which can be grown in almost any garden, makes a delicious change In the vegetable dishes for the table. The plant is perennial, but declines rapidly, and should be reset every three years. It Is propagated from seed, and the suckers are set out, producing edible heads ttie second year. The heads are from three to four inches in diArtichoke. ameter, and are ready to cut ton the table just before they open. For pickling, the heads are. often taken when about half grown. Tha leaves are sometimes blanched and eaten, and these form the salad plants which are seen on the market. Corn Crop In Limelight. The failure of the hay crop during the past two seasons has brought the corn crop into the limelight and ita good qualities have been praised until there Is very little to be added. Fix Up the Harnasa. Now is a good time to look over the work harness that have been in use all summer and make note of the repairs needed before beginning another season NOTICE OF APPOINTMENT.

Scrap Book Had Him Treed. He bad never fished before, and hit rod was new and shining with resplendent varnish. Faultlessly attired, lis was whipping a trout stream when by some odd chance he got a bite. A writer in Forest and Stream who happened to come along tells what occurred. The fisherman had booked a one pounder from the way the line strained. He was not playing the fish at all. With rod held straight ahead be was slowly and steadily reeling him iu. How he managed to hold the usn was a mystery to me. Presently the fish was directly below the end of BZ KEPT OX HEEL1XO. the rod. Did he stop? No; he kept on reeling tbe fish In, and just as I reached the water's edge the fish's head touched the tip. The man even tried to pull him through the ring. Just then he saw me standing on shore waving my arms. He turned to me with a bewildered look and said, "What shall I do now';" "The only thing you can do now," I said, "is to climb up the pole after him." Pluok and Luck. One constant element of luck ! genuine, solid old Teutonic pluck. Stick to your aim. The mongrel's hold will slip. But only , crowbars loose tha bulldog's grip. Small though he looks, the jaw that never yields Drags down the bellowing monarch of the fields. O. W. Holmes. A Lover of Liberty. A jovial German saloon keeper who rarely gets excited was roused out of his usual genial mood not long ago by a chap with a deformed sense of humor. The German had one of those big old fashioned fly traps in his place. It was about a foot high and about half tbe diameter at the bottom. The flies get in someflow, and then they can't find their way out. A fel- ! low went into the saloon one of the hot days, and the big fly trap was full. "I'll give you half a dollar for them flies," aays be, and the German's face lit Up as he accepted It and shoved "THEY were FIXES." MY over the trap. The .man looked at it awhile, then loosened the bottom and let the flies out. "Vat's der matter mit you?" yelled the exasperated and now excited German. "Nothing," replied the man as he hurriedly reached the door. "They were my flies, and I could do what I wanted with them." Detroit Free Fress. Perpetual Snow Line.

It has usually been thought that tha noise of thunder is caused by the closing up of tbe vacuum created by tbe passage of the lightning, tha air rushing in from all sides with a clap. Bat tbe Intensity of the noise is rather disproportionate, and it is now supposed" thunder is due to the Intense heating of gases, especially tbe gas of water vapor along the line of electric discharge and tbe consequent conversion -of suspended moisture into steam at enormous pressure. In this way the crackle with which a peal of thunder sometimes begins might be regarded as the sound of steam explosion on a small scale caused by discbarges before tbe main flash. The rumble would be the over-, lapping steam explosions, and the final clap, which sounds loudest, would be the steam explosion nearest to tha auditor. In tbe case of rumbling thunder the lightning is passing from cloud to cloud. When the flash passes from tbe earth to the clouds the clsp is loudest at tbe beginning. Trowbridge gave substance to these suppositions by causing electric flashes to pass from point to point through terminals clothed in soaked cotton wool, and bo succeeded in magnifying the crack of the" electric spark to a terrifying es tent Exchange.
