BUMPER CORN CROP III HEUW OPINION Corn Expert Also Expects Three-fourths Crop in Wheat This Year.

(Palladium Special) BOSTON. Ind., June 23. Joe Helms, holder of the national trophy for the best single ear of corn grown in the United States last year, and one of the most prominent farmers in Wayne county, predicts that this year will be the banner year for corn in this community. It is a little early to make an accurate estimate, but conditions to date have been very favorable, according to Mr. Helms. "It looked as though the country is going to have a fair wheat crop this year. Wheat has not filled properly, and I estimate about 75 per cent of a normal crop," Mr. Helms stated. Spring frosts were responsible for the Injury to wheat, he believes. "There will only be Half an oats crop in the county," Mr. Helms said. "Oats should be sown in March, but most of the farmers did not get their oats in until May, which accounts jfor conditions. All fruit crops and garden produce are in excellent shape." Rains all over the county Saturday and Sunday greatly benefited all crops. I ) INDIANA CROP CONDITIONS. INDIANAPOLIS, June 23. The . rains of Saturday night, yesterday and last night completely changed the complexion of the crop report of Indiana, which had assumed a more or iless spotted condition because of the ! prolonged period of intense heat. Re- ' ports received here indicate that the 'rain yesterday extended over the entire state and proved a benediction to Bcorching vegetation generally, and j added several thousand dollars to the worth of crops. Corn, oats and hay had needed rain for more than a fortnight, and the damage to oats in some sections reached such a degree that it is doubtful if the rain will offset much 'of the work done by the dry period. Corn, however, had experienced a rank growth during the torrid wave and the showers could not have fallen at a more needed time. The wheat crop in Indiana was pronounced "made" as long as a week ago, and in one or two places harvesting started Friday and Saturday with the prospects of a general movement in this direction at the opening of this week. OPPORTUNE HITTING WINS FOR THE PITTSBU RGERS CINCINNATI. June 23. Pittsburg, by opportune hitting won the second game of the series from Cincinnati yesterday, 5 to 4. Adams pitched good ball with the exception of the second inning when Cincinnati made five hits and four runs. For the balance of the game he kept the hits scattered and prevented the locals from scoring. Ames also pitched good ball Tip to the eighth, when he weakened, and Brown was called upon to relieve him. Pittsburg scored its first run on a base on balls to Byrne, and singles by Carey and Wagner. They scored the second on a base on balls to Coleman and a two-base hit by Carey. The other three runs were scored on singles by Adams, Byrne, Carey and Miller, and a base on balls to Wagner. Cincinnati made its runs in the second inning, when Dodge, Groh and Kling doubled, Devore singled and Bescher tripled. Score: Pittsburg. AB. H. PO. A. E.

Wife of New Senator From Kansas

i Js&J Cum WiMW"lUM'HUIWMM j&k: I

Mrs. William Howard Thompson, wire or the new TJ. S. Senator from Kansas, has been in Washington since before the inauguration and has already made a host of friends. She is the daughter of the late Lieut. Governor A. J. Felt and is an active member of the D. A. R. She has three children, one a baby of two years, and the others a son and daughter of 14 and 16 who are in school in Kuou.

AGED WOMAN BADLY INJURED BY BEING STRUCK BY A CAR (Continued from Page 1.) Frank Rutan, 1240 Ridge street. The number is Ohio 66003. Mrs. Sitloh did not lose consciousness at any time, but was too dazed to give any coherent explanation of the accident. Her daughter, Mrs. Rutan, was notified and came immediately to the Taylor residence. After medical attention was given the injured woman, she was taken to the home of her daughter where she now is. The persons who were in the automobile attempted to assist in caring for the woman until Mrs. Rutan arrived. They also offered to make a settlement of some kind, but on the arrival of Mrs. Rutan, left and have not been seen since.

Mrs. Sitloh was in a poor physical condition before the accident, having been in danger of pneumonia. Her wounds are very painful and it is necessary to give her constant attention. Her physicians stated that there is small danger of the injuries resulting fatally, although she will be materially weakened from the shock. The accident was not reported to the police until this morning. Unless Frank Rutan, son-in-law of Mrs. Sitloh, files an affidavit against the speeders, nothing will be done in the case. The name of the owner of the machine will be secured in case Mr. Rutan desires to prosecute or sue for damages. STRUCK BY TRACTION CAR. J Vernon Petty, Living Near East Germantown, Probably Fatally Injured. (Palladium Special) EAST G E R M AN TO WN, Ind., June 23. Vernon Petty, aged 16, son of Henry Petty, was probably fatally injured Saturday night about 9:30 when the rig he was driving was struck by a. west bound Terre Haute, Indianapolis and Eastern traction car, which was running at a high rate of speed. The accident occurred on the National road between East Germantown and Pennville. The boy had been spending the evening at Cambridge City and was enroute to his father's home a half mile south of Hiser's Station. Apparently Petty was not aware of the approach of the car, for he drove his horse squarely in front of it and the motorman had no opportunity of bringing it to a stop or of lessening the speed. The Horse Was Killed. The rig was demolished and the horse killed. Immediately after the collision the car was brought to a stop and the crew and passengers returned to the scene of the accident. Young Petty was found in the buggy top in an unconscious condition. He was carried to the car and it returned to Cambridge City, where Petty was placed in the care of Dr. Boyd. Petty has a deep gash in his head and his body is a mass of bruises. It is believed he sustained internal injuries and his recovery is very doubtful. Since the accident the boy has been unconscious nearly all the time, though today he had occasional periods of consciousness, when he talked incoherently about the accident." One or two people in Cambridge City have stated that the traction car's headlight was not burning when it passed through that town. It is said, however, that the motorman and conductor of the car have denied these reports. TWENTY EXECUTED (National News Association) CONSTANTINOPLE, June 23. Twenty men were executed today in rapid succession following their trial and conviction by court martial. At least one hundred species of oysters are known to scientists.

Some of Them Are Headaches, Dizziness and Indigestion. When a child begins to screw up its eyes to elevate and depress its eyebrows, to wrinkle its forehead, to blink, to push forward its head when looking at things, then suspect eye strain. Among the many troubles caused by eye strain are headaches, dizziness, Indigestion and so called bilious attacks. Eye strain is really a weariness of the many nerves that supply the small muscles of the eyes. If there be any abnormal optical conditions, such as errors of refraction, found in myopia, or shortsightedness and hyperopia, mr long 6ightedness, imperfect balance of the ocular muscles and astigmatism or asymmetrical curvature of "the cornea, these muscles try their best to correct the trouble, but soon tire of the effort and give it up, when the blurred images of Irregular diffusion are left to Irritate the retina. As one-fourth of all the cranial nerves are devoted to the eyes one can scarcely wonder that headaches are the result of eye strain. That backwardness in school work is often due to eye strain is weil known to up to date educators. It is claimed by some medical men that the majority of children who are rated as mentally defective are not suffering from weakness of intellect, but from defective sight.' that can he cured by glasses.

Saving for saving's sake, without any special aim or end to accomplish, soon begets the vice of avarice and turns a man into a miser, but saving for worthy objects and noble designs exalts the character and makes the life a worldwide blessing.

AN ARCTIC DAWN.

The Scene ae the Sun Come Up After Six Months of Darkness. The return of the sun after the six months" night of the polar regions is a moment not to be forgotten. EJnar Mikkelsen. in his book. "Lost in the Arctic," describes the scene and the emotions it aroused. j "The loneliness is no immense everyj thing seems dead or in a trance, wait1 ing. as we. for the advent of the life giving sun. At last the day arrives when It should appear, but we do not see it, for the weather is cloudy, stormy and foggy. Not until the following day, Feb. 10. do we see its red disk once more. We stand outside the house waiting. At the end of half an hour we begin to grow impatient "At last it comes. The glow to the southward deepens until it almost hurts the eyes; the mountain tops are tinged with rose, slowly extending downward toward us: then suddenly a red gold rny is flung out over the ice, and we give a mighty shout of welcome a cheer for the herald of summer summer that is to bring us our deliverance. "And we are not the only beings that rejoice. Far up above us sounds the astonished cry of a raven. It was flying eastwnrd. but on seeing the sun it chunges its course and steers right for it. with mighty 6trokes of its great heavy wings, and calling, glad as we to see the sun. a fire worshiper, as also we have grown to be. We follow it with our eyes until it disappears in the eye of the sun. Happy raven! If we had but wings!" A LETTER TO THE JUDGE. He Ignored the Death Threat, but One Word Caught His Fanoy. Whenever a judge presiding over a New York criminal court is conducting the trial of some notorious murderer he is sure to receive letters, postal cards and even prepaid telegrams written by cranks breathing denunciation and threatening him with death in some horrible form. The late Recorder Frederick Smyth, presiding over a murder trial, one day beckoned a reporter friend up to the bench and handed him a letter that ran like this: "You cruel and bloody minded old tyrent, you are trying to send this insent Man to the Chair as you sent , but you will never Live to do It for I will lay in wait for you and pounch on you and Give you death Penalty a friend of Justice." The reporter wanted to publish it "Oh, no." said Recorder Smyth. "I showed it to you only to call your attention to that beautiful new word. 'pounch, which I suppose means to j crouch and to pounce. If you should ! publish it hundreds of other cranks j wouia be inspired to write. It s baa enough now, for their letters take up so much time in going through the morning's mail. The writers ore not dangerous merely nuisances." Harper's Weekly. His "Richt" Name. From queer names and descriptions of things there follow as a natural ! sequence queer names and descriptions of people. Among a number of instances is one quoted by Mr. FoxDavies, the well known authority on momenclature, from Blackwood's Magazine of April, 1842: "In one of the Buchan fishing villages a stranger had occasion to call on a fisherman of the name of Alexander White. Meeting a girl, he asked, 'Can ye tell me fa'r Sanny Fite lives?' 'Filk Sanny Fiter quoth she. 'Muckle Sanny Fite? said he. 'Filk muckle. Sanny Fite?' 'Muckle lang Sanny Fite.' 'Filk muckle lang Sanny Fite?" 'Muckle land gleyed Sanny Fite!' shouted the exasperated man. 'Oh, it's Goup-the-Lift ye're seeking,' answered the girl, 'and fat the de'll for dinna ye speer for the mon by his richt name at ance?' " A Wonderful Memory. "You boast of your memory. Rivers! I'll bet you a cigar you can't quote, on the spur of the moment, a single stanza of any hymn you sang in Sunday school when you were a boy." "I'll take you up on that. Brooks. In fact, I'll sing you one: "Kind words never die. Never die, never die: rKind words can never die. No, nev-e-e-e-e-r die! "You win. old chap. I didn't think you could do it." Chicago Tribune. An Art Authority. They were newsboys and had strayed Into the art museum. At the moment they were standing before the "Winged Victory of Samothrace." "Say. Bill, what's that?" asked one of them in an awed whisper. "Aw, I dunno." replied the other. "Some saint wld his block knocked off." Argonaut. Like Father. "I never saw a boy so much like his father your husband's hair and eyes and even his manner of speech. But 1 why does he jump when you speak to him?" "Because he is so much like bis father."

ATTEMPT MADE TO PURCHASE SCHOOL

Sycamore Building, Abandoned Four Years Ago May Be Sold. CHANGES AT BOSTON The Schools in That Township are in Good Condition Now. Another attempt is being made to purchase from the township listrict School No. S. known as the Sycamore school, at the foot of Sycamore hill west of Richmond on the National road. The institution was abandoned four years ago. because there were less than twelve pupils attending. The township trustee made several attempts to sell the property, though he could not secure the consent of the majority of voters in the community of the school, which is necessary, according to law. The pupils who were attending the school were transferred to Township School No. 9. J An offer was made to the trustee today. It has not been accepted as yet. May Abandon No. 13. Township School No. 13 may also be abandoned this year, according to Trustee James Howarth. It is optional with the trustee whether the school is closed next year. The law specifies that the power of abandoning a school is optional with the trustee, if there are between twelve and fifteen pupils attending. If School No. 13 is not used, the pupils will be transferred to No. 9. Several patrons of the school have requested the officials not to close the institution at this time. They believe at least fifteen pupils will attend next fall. Former Teachers Retained. The schools of Boston township were never in condition to do better work than they will be next year, according to Superintendent Williams. Most of the former teachers have been retained for next year. School No. 2 of Boston township, will be in charge of Carrie Wiedener next year. This institution is the largest of its kind in Boston township. Fifty pupils will attend at the opening of the fall term. Myra Roll will act as assistant.

I wanted to invest $20,000 for an estate that I represent, and as I greeted one of the duplicate brothers I said facetiously. 'Bet $2 you are your brother,' and I produced a two dollar bill. He said. 'Wait a moment till I get $2 from the cashier and I'll cover that bet.' He went to the rear of the office, came back a moment later and said. 'Here's the two dollars. "I said: The bet is off. I know now that you are not your brother, and no gentleman ever bets on a sure thing.' " St. Louis Post-Dispatch. Softening the Penance. "She's a member of the advanced dietetic class.
