"to ' YHG IT WAS ONLV COMT PREDICT HOT FIGHT N FRANCHISE CASE Gas Companies' War in Richmond Attracts Indianapolis' Interest. (National News Association) INDIANAPOLIS, Aug. 1. A hot light for the control of public utilities in the city of Richmond was seen in the move made before the public service commission yesterday, when Richmond Light, Heat and Power company surrendered its franchise to the commission. In lieu of this franchise the company petitions the commission for an indeterminate permit through J. B. Wharton, manager of the company. The utility corporation filed a formal surrender under the provisions of the Spencer-Shiveley utility law. The action of the corporation is taken to be a counter move in the controversy with the city of Richmond over the granting of a franchise to the Allegheny Gas company. By giving up its franchise it is taken to mean that the Light, Heat and Power company hopes to thwart the action taken by the city council in giving a permit to its competitors. The franchise surrender came just prior to the hearing of the Allegheny Gas company and the city of Richmond before the commission. Chairman Duncan will hear the petitioners next Monday. Stilt Negotiating. "The Richmond Light, Heat and Power company is still negotiating ith the Logan Natural Gas and Fuel company for a supply of natural gas for Richmond," stated J. B. "Wharton, manager of the local company, yesterday. Mr. Wharton said that, he had received another proposition from the Logan company which in one way is a concession on the part of the other company. He said that the Logan company has agreed to furnish gas to them at 21 cents per 1,000 cubic feet, providing the local company would lay a pipe line from the main line, which is a distance of twelve or fifteen miles, the best proposition previous to that time had been a straight price of 22 cents per 1,000 cubic feet. He sa.ys such a propostion is beyond reason) ind that the local company cannot consider It, although there is still a possibility of the two companies getting together. It Is understood that representatives of both gas companies will com? to Richmond about August 3 to complete plans for submitting their cases to the public service commission hearing, which will be' held. in.

A New York Judge gave his son $1,000. telling him to go to college and graduate. The sou returned at the end of freshman year without a dollar and rith several ugly habits. At the close of the vacation the judge told his son that he had done all he could for him. If be had Wasted the money that was to have taken him through college he might as well leave home and make his own way in the world It was a rude awakening for the young mau, but he knew that his father was right. And so strong was the good influence of his upright father ttist he did leave home to go to work in downright earnest. He went back to college, made his way through, graduated at the head of his class, studied law, became governor of the state of New York, entered the cabinet of the president of the United States and made a record for himself. It was William II. Seward. Sterilized Soil For Flower. It is not generally known that the soil used by florists for filling window boxes and flowerpots is often sterilized. This sterilization Is not intended primarily for the destruction of germs, but for the destruction of all animal and vegetable life in the soil, so that weeds will not be springing up along with the flowers aud worms uprooting the earth. The sterilizing device consists of a large bin with steam pipes running through It about four feet apart. Along these pipes there ara placed holes at intervals of a few Inches. Th soil which is sod plowed up and left to decay for a year Is dumped in. Then the steam is tnrned on for half an hour. At the end of that time the process ia completed. Uarper's.

Pointers on Tomato Growing

"The tomato is a vegetable that is well adapted to the soil and climatic conditions of Indiana," says J. G. Boyle of the horticultural department of Purdue university. "The quality, quantity and ease with which growers can produce this crop in this section of the country are second to none. Generally it is grown for canning purposes as a field crop, although gardeners in the southern part of the state are realizing handsome profits by growing- it for the early market. With the advent of numerous canning factories in various localities, the preserving of vegetables, of which the tomato is the most important one, Is coming to be an established business which deposits thousands of dollars in the purses of Indiana farmers every years. At present the canning companies are unable to secure as large an amount of tomatoes as their trade demands, due largely to the indifference of many farmers in their section who have not taken advantage of the opportunity of adding a new crop to their list, which works very well into a farm rotation and at the same time will return greater profits per acre, when carefully handled, than corn, wheat or oats. Hotbed-grown Plants. One of the most important phases in growing a successful tomato crop is the starting of the young plants. Many buy those at the present time from local growers. This is poor policy. One-half the work is done where healthy, stocky plants have been set n . carefully prepared beds. Every farmer engaged in tomato growing on a field scale should become an expert in the growing of first-class class plants. This can only be done by the use of hotbeds preferably, protect EAST GERMANTOWN ! I EAST GERMANTOWN, Ind., Aug. 1.

Wudna Suit the Kilt. In the early days of the territorial army there was a boom in recruiting for it- In one part of the highlands almost every man in the district joined the local battalion of "kilties." and the men were signed on without medical examination, it being quite usual in some country districts to wait until the annual camp before medically examining recruits. On arrival in camp it was noticed that one man was wearing the trews at drill instead of the regulation kilt. and. being asked the reason, he explained that he had left his kilt at home. "Why on earth did you do that?" inquired his company officer. "Weel. ye see. sir." replied the recruit. "I'm afraid I wudna suit the kilt verra weel. as I've got n wooden leg." Glasgow News.

LCCW ICU.'N " :H(N (N THE Your, hcncr. PACE.. YOU GUILTY ed with glass sash. Carefully conducted experiments at the Purdue experiment station have shown that an average season, well-grown hotbed tomato plants will yield four to five tons more fruit to the acre than those grown in the open ground, as they are in many localities today. This was only an additional expense of $3 per acre for the extra care given. Cultivation is Important. After well-grown plants have been set in the field, cultivation is the important thing in securing a good crop. Many times this is neglected on the average farm because of the excess amount of general work during the early summer. The first cultivation should be given immediately after the plants are set, to loosen the soil where it has been packed while transplanting. Following this, the crop should be cultivated as often and in the same way as corn, until the first blossoms begin to set. At this time discontinue the horse cultivation in order to avoid shaking and pulling the vines about, as this is injurious to the plant itself a,nd often causes the first blooms to fall.. One or two hoeings may be found necessary after cultivation is stopped to keep down weeds. Average Profits. In this state the profits from tomato growing are variable. They run all the way from $5 to as high as $100 per acre in a few cases. With average care and attention to details and a moderately fertile soil, ten tons per acre of tomatoes should be grown annually. At the usual price of $10 per ton paid by the majority of canneries, this will make a gross income of $100 per acre. The cost of growing will vary from $35 to $40 per acre, leaving a net profit of $60 to $65 per acre. i GREENSFORK, INI). GREENSFORK, Tnd., Aug" 1.

One can never be careful enough in cleaning valuable objects d'art of all kinds, says the Pall Mall Gazette. Many exquisite pieces have been entirely spoiled through cleaning being accomplished unintelligently. Old glass counts among the most precious of possessions, and for its cleaning chemicals must never le used, because they remove that dull bluish gloss which is always a characteristic, of antiquo specimens and Is a point highly prized by connoisseurs. If cleaning really becomes necessary nse powdered eggshells. These lnust be ground very fine, with no gritty pieces remaining to scratch the glass. Mix with tepid water Into a thin paste and with this rub the glass, rinse with Clearwater afterward and dry with a soft leather. This is the only really reliable way of clean ing valuable glass and is a method carefully followed by collectors. Variety. Established-1S90
