AUBURN REQUESTS 1915 CONFERENCE

Bishop and Ministers of District Wage Campaign to Have Methodist Meeting There Next Year. OFFICERS RE-ELECTED Every Church Adopts New Financial Plan and a Material Increase in Funds Has Resulted. SOUTH BEND, Ind., April 2 The bishops and ministers of the Fort Wayne district are urging the North Indiana conference in session at Misbawaka, to give the 1915 session to Auburn. The Rev. James A. Beatty, superintendent of the Fort Wayne district, is leading the campaign for landing next year's conference' in Auburn, and it is likely that the conference will take favorable action on his request. Dr. Madison Swadener of Indinapolis, assistant secretary of the National Anti-Saloon League, made a stirring plea for the abolishment of the liquor traffic before the conference yesterday. The national secretary of the league is S. Edgar Nicholson. Officers re-elected were the Rev. Dorie V. Williams of Alexandria as conefrence secretary, with the Rev. William A. Griest of Fort Wayne and the Rev. Frank S. Hickman of Greencastle as his assistants. The Rev. David S. Jones of Anderson was elected treasurer, and the assistants named were Charles B. Dougherty, Silas L. Gates, George F. Hubart, E. A. Hale and James R. Richardson. The Rev. Francis R. Reichelderger of Topeka, was re-elected statistical secretary, and he appointed as his assistants Charles M. Hobbs, P. H. Walker, Warren W. Kiant and Clyde G. Yeomans. Reports of the six district snperintendents were read. The Rev. James A. Beatty of West Wayne, superintendent of the Fort Wayne district, reported a gain in membership of 1,010 in that district. He extended from the church at Auburn, Ind., its invitation to hold the next conference at that place. New System Adopted. Every church in the district has now adopted the new financial plan first adopted by the Wayne Street church ; in Fort Wayne, with the result of an ! increase in funds and promptly paid indebtedness. Expense for rebuilding and remodeling in the district amount- ! ed to $46,324, and $13,325 was paid off on old debts. The Rev. B. S. Hollopeter, superintendent of the Wabash district, report- ' ed a membership gain of 800. Probably the address to attract the most interest was that of the Rev. ;Mr. Hollopeter. He made a plea for ministerial support, his remarks being based on a financial point of view. Calling attention to the law of the church regarding the support of ministers, he added : i "The district superintendent has found it difficult to secure proper respect for this law, particularly in circuits and stations numericallly weak. Fail to Get Full Amount. "The people respond liberally with their support for the ministry, but , many quarterly conferences are unwilling to place the full amount for j ministerial support in the budget for the local church expense. In many ini stances the pastor must collect the bishop's claim, in a few cases the disi trict superintendent's claim, and in a S majority of charges he must collect the apportionment for conference claim- . ants. We should make our bookkeep-'ing-square with the law of the church." Turtle soup all day Saturday.

Hog cholera is again taking hold in some parts of the county, although not seriously and no great losses are expected from the disease. The free use of innoculating serum by Wayne county farmers is not expected, however, by veterinarians here and Dr. George Ferling said today the people have lost faith in the serum through its former improper use. A herd of twenty grown hogs were vaccinated at Easthaven last week. All stock there is innoculated against disease since the outbreak of last summer. The small amount of cholera which exists is north and west of Richmond. During cool weather, no spread of the cholera is looked for but in warm weather, there is a chance of it becoming an epidemic. Time to Vaccinate. The time to vaccinate is while the hogs are young and healthy and weigh from sixty to seventy pounds. The serum can be secured from Purdue and from several private concerns in this state. It is being more extensively used ia other parts of the state, it is said. A. D. Cobb, county agent, will take Bteps against the disease when other work he has, is cleared away and he is free to devote part of his time to the cholera question. As the serum is essentially a preventative rather than 'a cure, it is necessary to influence farmers to use it while they still have healthy herds instead of waiting until the disease has made its attack. Municipal theatres even in drama loving Germany are an expensive luxery. The subvention necessary to keep the Cologne city theatre open for a year amounts to$130,000.

RAIL BRIDGE FALLS 70 Men and Women Killed and Wounded.

BAT A VIA, Java, April 2. Seventy men and women were killed and wounded when a railway bridge near Tanjong collapsed while a train was passing over It today. There were a number of Europeans on the train, but all escaped. Five coaches on the train plunged two hundred feet into the water beneath. Most of the victims were trapped in the coaches and drowned. The bridge had been weakened by reecpt floods and the water was so deep at the point of the wreck that three of the cars were completly submerged.

INDIVIDUAL THRIFT CAUSES HAPPINESS

President of Thrift Association Speaks of People of France. CHICAGO. April 2. That happiness is the natural result of the individual thrift for which the French are famous is emphasized by a letter to the American- Society for Thrift In Chicago from President , Simon W. Straus, who is in Europe to discuss with leaders the various thrift movements and the International Congress of Thrift next year at San Francisco. After coTering much of Southern France in an automobile he wrote: "On every hand you see the thriftiness of the French people. They certainly bear out their reputation of being the thriftiest nation in the world and also the happiest with it all. The Riviera has been a revelation to me The way the farmer has cultivated the land along the mountains and the splendid manner in which he keeps it, certainly shows skill and ls-'commehd-able." The importance of greater thrift to business, in which enormous losses have been suffered by lack of general knowledge of thrift principles, and the rewards of thrift have long been the hobby of President Straus, the head of S. W. Straus & Co., and some years ago he started in his own banking house for employes a "thrift society," which broadened into national usefulness when the founded the American Society for Thrift. Thrift of the kind that brings' the contentment and peace of mind which extravagance never wins have been the subject of many sayings by President Straus which are comparable to "Poor Richard's Maxims" by Benjamin Franklin 150 years ago. The wise rules of a thrifty father who immigrated from Germany were potent in the shaping of the policy which has j been a great business, for which the j claim is made that investors during 1 thirty-two years have never lost a 1 dollar. Mr. Straus views wealth as a responsibility that can only be discharged by making it serve its fellowmen. Wood shavings free. The K. D. Cabinet Co. 3(Wt T CITY STATISTICS I Deaths and Funerals.

G ives Instructions on How to Produce Irish Potatoes

This is the season of the year when the farmer should pay particular attention to seed potatoes, cautions the department of agriculture, and the use of high grade seed would increase the returns from the potato crop of the country by many millions of dollars. A conservative estimate of the Increase that might be expected from the use of high grade seed is certainly not less than 10 per cent. Such an increase based on the average production of the last five years would amount to over 34,000,000 bushels, having an approximate value of $21.000,000. Of the many causes which operate to produce a low average "potato yield in this country, pure seed is an important, one. The American potato grower pays too little attention to his seed potatoes. .The European growers, especially those of Great Britain and Germany, pay very strict attention to the quality and quantity of seed they use This has led to the differentiation of the potato industry into seed and crop specialists. The seed specialist makes a business of producing high quality Beed, while the crop specialist produces a high grade table potato. No such differentiation, at least to the same extent, occurs in this country. While it is true that in certain sections there is a well developed seed potato growing industry, but comparatively few growers in these sections are paying sufficient attention to the elimination of diseased and unproductive strains, or to keeping the variety grown free from mixture with other varieties. Tuber-Unit Method. By far the simplest and most promising means of developing high grade seed potatoes is that of the tuberunit and hill-selection methods. The former consists in selecting from the seed bin before planting time a considerable number of the most perfectly shaped tubers of from 6 to 8 ounces in weight. When planted these tubers are quartered, as dropped, into 4 as nearly equal parts as possible. This is done by splitting the bud-eye cluster in each direction from seed to stem end of the tuber. The four pieces of each tuber are dropped consecutively in the row at a distnee of from 10 to 12 inches apart In the furrow. All tubers showing discoloration of the flesh or other evidence of disease should be rejected. By allowing an additional space between each set of fours, the four olants from each tuber are definitely isolated from adjoining ones, and the grower can readily observe any variation in vigor and uniformity between the units planted. This method also enables him to detect any mixtures that may occur in the variety. At digging time the product of each unit is separately harvested, and a further selection made from the marked units of all those which most nearly approach the size, shape and smoothness desired. The selected tubers should be numbered with both field and unit numbers and separately placed in small sacks. From each of the units retained, 10 of the best tubers should be selected for thf next season's planting. It is desirable to maintain the study of each selection on the tuber-unit basis the following season because it permits a more accurate comparison of the behavior of each. The hill-selection method consists in marking the most promising plants during the growing season. At harvesting time save only those which WONDERFUL TONIC RESTORES HEALTH (Home Remedies) "Winter invariably proves a hardship to the human system. The blood becomes clogged with poisonous impurities, the liver grows sluggish and as a result we have sallow, pimply skins, a loss of energy and appetite, and suddenly find ourselves all tired out and sick. "The surest and best remedy for this condition is a tablespoonful of the following home-made tonic before meals: In pint alcohol dissolve Vn cup sugar and one ounce kardene, adding hot water to make a quart. This old-fashioned remedy is unequaled for making the blood pure and giving the body tissues strength and energy. It is a remedy so good as to be almost indispensable for family use in restoring health and energy to both old and young."

give greatest promise. Keep the progeny of each hill separate, and take the same data as outlined for the tuber unit. Plant on the tuber-unit basis the following season. For sake of uniformity, a definite number of tubers five or more should be planted from each hill selection. From this point on the methods given in the tuber-unit work should be followed. Requires Painstaking. The only requirements for the successful practice of the' two methods of seed selections are a reasonable degree of painstaking effort on the part of the grower, some 12-inch garden labels, a small pair of balances, a sufficient number of suitable small sacks and a safe place in which to store the selected tubers until required by the next season's planting. In addition to this, the . grower should have a breeding plat in which each season's selections can be developed up ti the point of fiekL-planting stock.' The selection of breeding plat need not necessarily bedirvorced from the general field plat.' In most cases it can be more conveniently handled if it is a part of the- regular field. All that is required is to set aside as many rows as may be .- required to plant the selected tubers. These should be preferably on one side of the field so that they can be more readily observed. The planting furrows may be open, and a fertiliser distributed with the potato planter by removing the disks and setting the plow a trifle deeper. If a plow Is used in covering, care should be exercised to avoid displacing the seed pieces.
