fiT HANDICAP IN WrifcAT THRESHING

Last Week 3,000 Bushels of Wheat Were Brought to Local Mill.

INCREASE IN ALFALFA

LittlCRye Being Threshed Critical Time For Corn Crop, Says Carpenter. The excessive rains during the past yreek will handicap the farmers in their wheat threshing though little dam.ge will be done to the crop, according to C. G. Carpenter, pioneer miller of this city. Last week when the farmers started threshing more than 3,000 bushels were brought to the Richmond Roller Mills. The wheat this year is the largest yield and evidently the finest quality raised in Wayne county for the past four or five years, according to Mr. Carpenter. From fourteen to twenty five bushels per acre are being yield ed in this section. Last year the average yield per acre was not more than len bushels. So thick is the wheat and rye that the weeds have been practically eliminated from the fields and the quality f straw is better than usual, Mr. Carpenter said. Little Rye Threshed. Very little rye has been threshed. The rye brought to the mills thus far Is not as good as last year, though more of it was sewed last fall than the previous season. Many farmers are regretting that they did not plant wheat instead of rye, Mr. Carpenter Bays. The increasing alfalfa trade in this section was spoken of by the miller. Many grains and seed are sold by the various mills and the increase in the pale of alfalfa seed has been noted. Though the indications are that the Corn crop will be the largest and best in years, this is one of the critical times, according to Mr. Carpenter. ''Three unusually hot days without rain might seriously injure the corn crop, he said. The corn is now beginning to tassel and the hot sun might hurt the tassels to such an extent that the ears would be stunted. Scientific Farming. "I believe farming is done more scientifically than ever before. It has always been advocated by millers that good seed be procured and the farmers until recently have not regarded this necessary. The ditching and draining of the farm is also being done on a scientific basis." Mr. Carpenter was one of the advocates of the agricultural agent idea for W"ayne county which resulted in A. D. Cobb coming here. Recently Cobb visited the Mormon farm which is under Mr. Carpenter's supervision. The finest oats field in this section is said to be Dn this farm. The oats field will yield an unusual large crop. The oats are of the Salzer Bonanza brand.

COP GUESSING NUMBER OF FLIES GETS CHOICE BEAT I

A new fly trap has been secured for police headquarters and is rapidly filling with flies. For "bait," stale beer with small pieces of bread is used. So rapidly is the trap Tilling that the patrolmen have been speculating on the number in the trap and guessing how many will be there by next Saturday. Chief of Police Gormon announced a guessing contest for the patrolmen today, the prize to be the choice of "beats." The contest will take place next Saturday night when the night men report for duty. They will be allowed to gather around the fly trap for ten minutes, according to Mr. Gormon's plan. The trap will then be removed and closed. The guesses will be sealed and not opened until the number of flies have been counted. The problem of counting the flies is puzzling Isaac Winburn, custodian of the building. He was appointed by Chief Gormon to count the flies and as a reward one of the terms of the contest is that each patrolman must make a donation to buy Winburn a box of choice cigars, which will be presented to him when he turns in the result of his labors.

GRAY BREAKS INTO THE MULL CASE Mulhall Feared Trouble With Gray on the Labor Committee.

(National News Association) WASHINGTON, July 15. There is a split in the Indiana congressional delegation over the question as to whether or not an attorney, or attorneys,

should be employed to assist the special committee of the House of Representatives that is 'to conduct an investigation Duseu upon Liiuigco Colonel M. M. Mulhall. Representatives Finly H. Gray and W. A. Cullop voted to give the committee authority to employ lawyers and to fix their compensation. The other members of Congress from Indiana voted against granting that authority. Finly H. Gray's Reasons. In stating why he voted as he did Representative Gray said: "It goes without saying that the men who are accused by Colonel Mulhall will be defended by the ablest and most astute lawyers that money can procure. It seemed to me that it would be against public policy and would handicap the committee and tie its hands if it were denied the same right to employ attorneys that the men accused of lobbying have. I believe in economy, but not that sort of economy. Gray Not Worrying. James E. Watson is not the only citizen of the Sixth Indiana district who is brought into the Mulhall mess.

LIBRARIES NEEDED BY COUNTRY PEOPLE

Secretary Milan of Library Commission Talks at Earlham.

PLANS ARE PROPOSED

Speaker Says Libraries Must be Established in Small Towns.

"The biggest thing in library work in Indiana is Township Library Extension," said Carl II. Milan, secretary of the Public Library Commission of Indiana, in a lecture to the summer library school at Earlham this afternoon. "More than half the people of this state " he said "do not have public library service and do not take advantage of the state traveling libraries." "Most of these people who lack the benefits of public libraries live in the country. Providing country people with libraries is therefore one problem. How can we, as librarians, who believe that no community is well provided for until it has some means of getting all the books it needs, help to get books out into the country." "Indiana tried a county library system nearly a hundred years ago. More than fifty years ago it tried a township library plan, under the supervision of the state department of education. Both of these were only fairly successful and both county and township libraries have ceased to exist in most parts of the state. "Now we have a township extension plan, the main idea of which is to have a public library in every good town, and to have that library, through branches in the county towns and deposit collections in the country schools, churches, stores and homes, furnish books to everybody in the community in other words to make every town a library center for the people who use the town as a business center. Some libraries serve several townships, some only one or two. "Nearly 60 libraries are already doing this work and more are taking it up every year."

AUTO NEWS

A REWARD RUN MADE IN AN AUTOMOBILE

M. C. Henley and his son, Harry, have returned to Richmond from Oden. Michigan. They made the trip to Oden a week ago with P. W. Smith of this city in his automobile. Leaving Richmond early in the morning they arrived in Oden, which is beyond Petosky, the next evening. As the distance is more than 500 miles this is probably the record run between Richmond and Petosky or Oden. by automobile. It was the fourth time Mr. Smith has made the trip. On each occasion he has been accompanied by Mr. Henley and Harry Henley.

HOLDING HIS OWN.

John Palmer, who has been taking treatment at the hospital for some time, is holding his own. He is able to be up only part of the time.

As the Tired Business Man Saw It. "I begin to perceive," said the tired business man, as the comedian executed a funny fall, "the difference between the classic drama and musical corned y." "There are many differences." "Yes. But the chief one is that while the classic drama uses cymbals, musical comedy uses the bass drum." Washington Star.

However, Representative Finly H. Gray, the other one, is not caring, as he feels that a knock which Mulhall gave him will prove a boost. In a report on April 6, 1911, to General Manager Bird of the National Association of Manufacturers, Mulhall stated that he had made a careful canvass .of the new House committee on labor, and added: "I find that there are but three members of that committee who will give us any trouble. Those are Mr. Wilson of Pennsylvania, Mr. Frank Buchanan of Chicago, and Mr. Finly H. Gray of Indiana. Mr. Buchanan is a new member. This is his first term, and I think a little good work will have him change his mind."
