GRAND JURY PROBE HAS NOWSTARTED Dayton Murder Will Be Investigated as Well as Other Cases.
CHAS. SCHUTTE HELD
Alleged to Have 'Criminally Assaulted Mrs. Clark, an Old Woman.
The Hensley and Clark cases were taken before the January term of the grand jury today. Mrs. Henry Dayton was not called upon to tell her elory as to tho disappearance of her husband September 5, 1910, and whose body was found buried In quick lime beneath her home on North I street, December 17, 1912. It is probable that the Dayton case will be taken up by the grand jury as soon as the case of Georgianna Doyle-Hensley is disposed of. Anna B. Clark and several witnesses were before the grand jury to testify in connection with the serious charges against Charles Schutte, now confined in the county jail pending the grand jury's probe. A charge of criminal assault may be placed against Schutte. Miss Clark is sixty-five years of age and is feeble minded, it is said. She has worked as a domestic in several homes in this city. Schutte is alleged to have taken advantage of the woman's infirmity and assaulted her. Heavy Docket. Because of the heavy docket which Is now before the circuit court Judge Fox announced that the January term grand jury would have to complete its Investigations by the first of next week. The session will probe the cases of Georgianna Doyle-Hensley, the child wife of Benjamin Hensley, the Dayton murder case, will make inquiry into cases of persons imprisoned at the county jail not indicted, of all persons under bail in the county not ludicted, into any wilful and corrupt misconduct in office of public officials, of any discription in the county, and Into any charge against them for ex
tortion, into the condition and management of the jails and institutions of the county, into any violation of criminal laws of the state generally, which the court has jurisdiction over. Judge Fox In his charge asked the grand jury not to probe minor cases which may be settled by filing affidavits. "Since the adjournment of the last grand jury," the charge reads, "conditions have developed indicating that an atrocious murder has been committed within th jurisdiction of this court. "In order that the evidentiary circumstances may be investigated, you, as the regular grand jury for this, the January Term of the Wayne Circuit Court, have been convened, impanelled and sworn, and being so, the law makes it my duty as the judge of said Court to instruct you as to your duties in the premises."

Report Shows Genn Cleaned Streets Cheaper. Statistics compiled by Street Commissioner D. C. Genn show that $97,505.56 has been the total expense including the street commissioner's salary, for the city street department for the first three years of the Republican administration. The expenses of the department for the corresponding three years of the former- administration, with Edward Dye and Fred Krone as street commissioner was $111,773.30 This leaves a difference of $14,268.84 in favor of the present administration. The expenses for the year of 1912

from the expenses in 1911.

BY I. L. TOTTEN. An instance that has been brought to my attention leads me to sound a word of warning to the man vtho has never had any farm experience and who knows nothing about the business of "farming. To this man I would say, do not engage in farming until you have learned something about it. The old theory that any one can succeed as a farmer is not a fact today. K. C. Livermore, of Cornell University, says: "The old idea was that anybody could succeed as a farmer. This was simply an admission that so little was known about the business of farming that all were on the same footing. But today it is safe to say that no profession involves so many problems as
does farming, unless it be that of i housekeeping. There is no doubt but
IUUI LUC O vvOul Ul LCl 1AA v7 k Ul lUWaj 1 O the equal of the successful lawyer, banker or manufacturer in ability, intelligence and resourcefulness." Much of the "back to the land" literature is misleading and it has caused some city men who have never had any experience in agricultural
pursuits, and who have never made a study of that occupation to take up the work and eventually lose what little they have put into it. Must Prepare. Of course there are men who seem to succeed In any kind of a business, even though they have had no previ-
i ous experience, but we would hardly
expect a man who has never studied law to take up that business without previous preparation. The same could be said regarding the medical profession, and it would be out of the question to expect a person who has never made a study of music to sit down to a piano and play classical music. Oftentimes, the farm enthusiasts will paint such alluring pictures as to the money making possibilities on the farm that some are wrongfully mislead. They Imagine that in order to become a competent agriculturist the only thing necessary to do is to move out to the farm home and tell their friends that they are farmers. Last spring two young men from an eastern city came out here to Indiana and bought a forty acre farm. These young men had no previous experience in farming. Yet, they im
agined that they knew just as much about that business as men who had
lived on a farm all their lives. In fact, f they had an impression that most far- i mers didn't know their business and i they were going to show them how j the farm should be handled. , J They did not have enough money to j
make a full payment for tneir larm, consequently they paid part cash and gave the owner a mortgage for the remainder. Two happier individuals than these young men were when they first came to the farm cannot be found anywhere. They were like two playful puppies turned loose after long housing. It soon became apparent, however, that neither of the young men knew very much about farming. I suppose they had read a lot of the "back to the land" literature and had taken it for granted that the only thing necessary to become a full fledged farmer was to so declare themselves. These boys did do things that many farmers do not do, but should do. Some Do It. They kept the buildings and barnlot in a clean, sanitary condition. Everything about the place was slicked up to a queen's taste, but they put in prac
tically all of their time on these
things and neglected the part that means bread and butter. I know of a farming section that has been almost entirely improved and brought up to its present prosperous appearance by city people like these two young men. A clever real estate man would get hold of the city man and recite to him the wonderful possibilities of the farm he had to Eell. The city man would buy the farm, move his family out to the place and at once set about cleaning it up and fixing up the buildings in order that he could make an impression on his city friends. The city man usually lasted about a year, then went back to the city and another one came out to take up the work of improving where the other left off. The two young men which I have mentioned are now very much discouraged and they do not think that there is any money in farming after all. They have asked the former owner to take the place back again. I feel sorry for these two misguided young men. They are good boys and have done the best they know how. Of
course, they might have paid a little more attention to some of the advice that their neighbors gave them but it seems natural for people of this kind to do as they please. There are some, of course, who can take up farm work even though they have had no previous experience and make a success of it. but I do not believe that it is the best thing to encourage a city man who knows nothing whatever about farming to engage in that kind of business without first making astudy of it. Perhaps I have been guilty of influencing some city man to take up the farm work without a knowledge of farm life but I now feel that caution should be exercised along this line. Farming must be learned the same as any other business and it requires a broad range of knowledge to get the most satisfactory returns out of it. Works Both Ways. It is a fact, of course, that when a farm is handled in a business like manner it will pay good returns and I know of several young farmers who
could not go in to town and take upj work there and become immediately successful. In fact, some of these

young men have very little education in the sense of book knowledge, yet ' they are successful farmers. i Their everyday life has been spent ! in caring for the farm animals, in tilling the soil, sowing seed, cultivating j the crops, harvesting, etc. They have i acquired their knowledge of farming j through practical experience the same as an office boy grows up to become !
an efficient manager by his constant I
contact with office work. No city man can expect to become as proficient in the farm work in a
few days as the man who has spent his life time in that work. However, there are city men who have taken up the farm work and be
come more successful in that line than they were in their city business and more successful than many farmers who have lived on a farm all their lives. These men, in the first place, set about learning the art of farming in an earnest, intelligent manner and they had their city business experience to aid them. Let me say to the young man who is thinking about taking up the farm work: Make a study of it by either going to some farm that is being successfully handled and there observe carefully and take an active part in the every day routine or by going to an argicultural school and taking a course there.
