All 0PP0RTIII1ITY IS (ELECTED

BY ISAAC L. TOTTEN. There Is a class of people who, are like the old man who searched diligently for his glasses, and then Anally locates them on his head where he has pushed them op out of the way from his eyes. They are always looking for opportunities, but cannot find them because they are too close at hand. In fact, they would not recognise an opportunity if they saw one; and, even

though they did recognise it, they i right thing. In fact, the owner had would be too Indifferent to appreciate another farm on which he had a tenIts value. jant whom he seldom visited, because While many who are deserving of f that tenant was Just as keenly alive better opportunities are vainly trying ; to the possibilities in scientific farmto find them, -others with the bets of ( ing as the owner himself was. opportunities are neglecting them. I The young man was a very affable An Instance comes to mind in which ' sort of a fellow, always pleasant, and a young . man had an exceptionally the neighborhood all liked him; If he good opportunity, but he was so non-! had been as much' of a worker as his chalant, and .did his work in such a j wife, of whom he made a beast of burperfunctory way that one of the best . den.

This young man had been living In a ; There was a good roomy tool shed small city where be had vainly tried to on the farm, but the young man did provide the comforts of life for him-, not seem to know Its purpose; he self, his wife, and the three children. would leave the tools wherever he hapAn opportunity came to him to rent pened to Anish using them- He did not a farm on the third basis, and he rent- seem to realise that the farm Implead It meets represented the expenditure of He moved to the farm during the ! considerable money, and that leaving last week In February; and; when them exposed to the damaging effects finally settled and ready to take up of the elements reduced their efflcl-

the farm work, he had only seven dol lars and forty cents with which to buy groceries and other necessities. That was not a very high financial standing for a man who must wait from Febru-

anr L. bnr,t ,t,mew ,or pay. day- he handled practically everything else was it? Fortunately, the landlord was about the place He giected the horsof the compassionate kind, and the e and they were reduced from Biek,

youns man uiu not nave 10 worry about funds. (He wasn't of the worrying kind anyway.) The owner of the farm furnished practically everything except groceries, clothing, household furniture and labor. There were six milch cows, and the tenant received half the proceeds from the butter and milk; there were fifty head of hogs, and the tenant received one-third of the increase; there were three brood mares, and the young man received a third Interest in the colts; there were twenty bead of heif ers, and one-third of the increase belonged to the tenant; there were fifty heps, half of which were owned by the young man; he received half the eggs and chickens. There was a wheat crop on the farm, but the young man did not get any of that; because it was put out before he came, however, he received pay for harvesting it. The young man put out about fifty acres of corn and, of course, received onethird of the crop. Doesn't that look like an opportuni ty.? Don't you believe that you would nurse such a chance as that if you J were in that young man's place. Of course you would ; but he didn't. The landlord, although a painfully particular man, was not the worst land J iora in tne wona: in race ne was iar i above the average. There was nothing in the line of necessary equipment that he did not provide, and all of It was new, The landlord was a well posted man very much progressive in his ideas and he wanted his farm run along scientific lines. That was where he and the young man came to the parting of the ways. The young man ridiculed the landlord's suggestions, and called them TESTIIIGJM GUN Results ' in a Neighborhood Calling the Police John Dudoc hates "bums." Bums annoy John's wife. John bought a revolver. Yesterday be appeared at the police station to tell why he had "shot up the neighborhood." The Dudocs are Slavs and live at the extreme southern end of South Second street. With them lives John Dungo. Hoboes annoy the family by calling and asking for something to eat and as both of the men" are away all day, Mrs. Dudoc was afraid, so her husband bought a revolver. He did not know much aboutHhe gun and he asked Dungo to test it out.Dungo did so, four times to be exact, and a police call followed less than two seconds later. It told of a "terrible shootin' scrape among them foreigners." The investigation disclosed the true state of affairs. Dudoc says he "only gets 17tt cents per day and can't give it to the d bums." He states be was a policeman for nine years in his native land. ENTERTAINED CLASS Mr. A. A. Mumbower entertained the members of his Sunday school class In the Second Presbyterian church last evening with the usual Tuesday evening lunch at the Y. M. C A., the affair being most enjoyable. ORCHESTRA TO PLAY The High School orchestra will play for the meeting in High School hall on Friday evening before which Mrs. Grace Julian Clarke will make an address on behalf of the Franchise League of Indiana. SCHOOLS INSPECTED Conditions in District Schools visited yesterday by County Superintendent Williams and Township Trustee Howarth were found to be ideal. The schools were in the best of sanitary condition. The schools Inspected were No. 9, 12, 13, 14 and 15. The officials will complete the Inspection ot the other schools Friday.

"book farming." He showed no Inclinations whatever toward following the owner's wishes.. The landlord was not bossy, yet he wanted things done along the most advanced lines. He had considerable money Invested, and naturally wanted his Investments to yield the largest possible returns. He frequented the farm more than he would have done had the young man showed any Inclination whatever toward doing the

ency and life and the landlord's prots. It was not only In the way that he cared for the implements that he hnivAif hla neelleenre? hut In the wav fat animals to walking hat racks; the hogs from the lack of sufficient water became extremely razorback, and he let them run at large to root up sod everywhere, even in the dooryard. Do you suppose if you had been the landlord you could have stood that kind of mismanagement until the end ot the season? We don't believe that you could; but that landlord did, and the young man had the nerve to ask for an extension of the lease. When the young roan asked for the extension of the lease, the owner did not jump onto him with both feet as you and the writer would, no doubt, have done; but he gave that young man some mighty sensible advice as good advice as a father could have given him. He did not rent the farm to the young man, however, but he did say that he wonld lease it to the young man's wife if the young man would let her superintend the farm work and if he would do as she directed. The young man became very indignant and displayed his temper. Now he is back in the city bewailing the fact that everything seems to be against him, and that he never was as lucky about tumbling onto opportunities as some khowb. When he left the farm in the fall he took with him a little over eight hundred dollars. This was what he had cleared over and above his expenses in spite of his gross mismanagement, and he had only seven dollars and forty cents when he came to the farm in February. Do you suppose that people in this young man's class would ever recognise an opportunity? SENTIMENT CHANGING West Main Street May Yet Be Paved. The fight over the paving of West Main street from First to Fifth streets is not over yet, according to predictions made by city officials. It was stated this morning that a petition was being circulated among the property owners on that street, asking for a brick street, and that several who had fought the Improvement when it was up for consideration some time ago, have changed, and are in favor of brick paving. The councilmen will probably favor brick improvement for the street if it is brought up to them for. consideration again, as one councilman, who last time cast the deciding vote against the bricking of the street has announced he would change his vote if he voted again. Coffee ft Re&e'tion Is, like the fever after a wound the omst serious part of the trouble.

HIT WATER FOR CHICAGO SEWERS To Be Taken From v Lake Michigan Canada Opposes the Move. - Ntlonal News Association) WASHINGTON. D. O, March 27. The Dominion of Canada, as represented by delegates from the Provincial Governments of Ontario and Quebec and the commercial, manufacturing and marine organisations of many of the chief cities, appeared In battle array before Secretary of War Stimson today to oppose the plan to increase the flow of water through the Chicago Drainage Canal. The official and commercial delegations were reinforced by eminent Canadian counsel. At the outset of the hearing it became apparent that Canada intends to make a vigorous fight for what she considers her rights. The trouble is all over an application of the Drainage Commission of the district ot Chicago

for an increase In the amount of water that they shall be allowed to take from Lake Michigan for drainage purposes. At present the amount is 4,000 oubic feet per second. They want this increased to 10,000 cubic feet and the reason alleged is for the purpose of increasing the drainage system. In behalf of the proposal it Is argued that the project affects no less than 2,500,000 people Included In the drainage district and that it is absolutely necessary to their health and safety to increase the drainage flow, at least until some other satisfactory means is found for disposing of the sewage. The Canadian objections, which are shared by Michigan and other States bordering on the-Great Lakes, are based on the belief that the lowering of the lake levels would seriously affect the shipping Interests and sanitation of many cities. The treaty between the United States and Canada permits' tfce water of the lakes to be used for drainage systems, but it is alleged that although the application is being made under this guise, Chicago's real purpose is to get enough water for power development HOLD CONFERENCE (National News Association) BALTIMORE, Md., March 27. The annual session of the Baltimore Conference of the Methodist Episcopal church convened in the First M. E. church In this city today, with Bishop Earl Cranston of Washington, D. C, presiding. This afternoon the Woman's Home Mission Society held its anniversary meeting, which wat followed by the conference sermon delivered by Dr. S. Parks Cadman of Brooklyn. The proceedings will continue until next Tuesday. POPE IS IMPROVED (National News Association) ROME, March 27. After a good night's rest. Pope Pius, who has been ill with influenza, felt so much improved today that he celebrated mass. The Vatican physicians are much encouraged because there are no signs of a recurrence of gout. The pontiff has been warned, however, not to exert himself in any way for fear that complications will follow. INCREASE CAPITAL (National News Association) NEW YORK, March -27. At a special meeting called for tomorrow the stockholders of the American Agricultural Chemical Company will vote upon a proposal to Increase the concern's capital' stock by $18,000,000 preferred and $20,000,000 capital stock. Only $6,000,000 of the preferred stock. It is understood, will be issued at present. The proceeds will be applied to working capital.

FIGHT TO RETAIN Mil OFFICES Representatives Hold Conference on Trade Relations that May Affect U.S. (National Niws Association) VANCOUVER, B. C, March 27. The electors throughout British Columbia will tomorrow express their political preferences, and on their verdict depends the fate of the ConservativeOovernment, which, under the leadership of Premier McBride, has been in office since November, 1900. The campaign has been notably lacking in spirit, owing to the prevailing belief that the Liberal opposition has absolutely no chance of victory. Railway extensions and a policy of exclusion of Orientals, which Premier McBride recently declared himself to favor, form the chief planks of the platform on which he expects to be returned to power. The single tax theory figures prominently In the Liberal platform. Among Its planks are those declaring for the abolition of the poll tax, exemption of improvement on all lands paying taxes to the government, raising of exemption of incomes to $2,000, woman's franchise, workmen's industrial Insurance and complete prohibition of Orientals. The Socialists, who ( have been steadily increasing their strength in many parts of the Province, hope to return several of their representatives to the legislature. In Vancouver, where the Socialists polled sixteen hundred votes in the last election, they have placed a complete ticket In the field.

PRESIDENT ASKS A TARIFF REDUCTION Bases Recommendation on the Declaration of His Platform.

(National News Association) WASHINGTON. March 27. A reduction of the tariff on cotton Manufacturers is asked for by President Taft in a message sent to Congress yesterday along with the report of the tariff board on schedule "I." "I base this recommendation," said the president, "on the declaration of the platform on which I was elected, that a reasonable protective tariff should be adjusted to the difference In the cost of production 'at home and abroad." The president has attempted to eliminate the technicalities which would naturally accompany such a report and shows that while the cost of weaving in many instances is higher in this country than abroad, the ultimate con sumer makes It up by paying high prices for the finished product.
