EXPECT GOOD CROP Farmers of County Find Conditions Good.

A heavy freeze within the next few days would practically ruin the Wayne county wheat crop, said Joseph Helms, a well-known farmer, and corn grower today. The wheat crop is flourishing, the stalks being ready to joint. After the joints form a freeze kills the plant, according to Mr. Helms. The outlook for an abundant wheat and corn harvest is encouraging, he said. An average acreage has been planted. The backwardness of - the season. Mr. Helms 6aid, has caused less ground to be set apart for the oats crop. Mr. Helms has received numerous reports that the fruit crop would fall far short of the average. Many trees are not full of bloom, especially apple trees. Fruit growers say it is not due to disease, and are at a loss to know to what to attribute the shortage.

SIMPLE WORDS HARD FOR EARLHAM GIRLS Harry Miller Wins Honors When Others Fail in Spelling Bee.

Harry Miller, a junior, who recently won the title of poet-laureate of Earlham, was proclaimed the champion

speller of the college, when he won the Bpelling bee held Saturday evening under the auspices of the Anglican club of Earlham, A crowd of several hundred students and townspeople attended the contest, which was preceded by a short playlet entitled "Last Day of School in Punkin Center." Forty contestants, ten representatives from each clas, lined up on the stage at the beginning of the "bee." Prof. E. S. Alden, of the department of English, gave the words from an ordinary spelling book. : The first speller to be eliminated was one who failed on "Forehead," her first word. "Separate" was too difficult for the next contestant. Failures on comparatively simple , words fol

lowed thick and. fast, such terms as "naught," "macaroni," "blueing," "accurate" and "potato" proving particularly fatal. "Awkward," advanced as "Aukward" and "Awkard" took out two more. "Millinery" was missed by one of the male contestants, but speedily corrected by one of the fairer sex. " , - Elimination continued until there remained on the platform Gladys Parks, honor student of the . senior class, Harry Miller, a junior, and Marguerite Norton, a freshman. - For some time these thre spelled the most difficult words with apparent ease, until Miss Norton was removed by "Iconoclast." Shortly after

Miss Parks failed on "Millennium" and Mr. Miller remained the winner of the contest.

Contains the throbbing Life Stories of the Mexican Leaders. A STORY OF REVOLUTION, INTERVENTION AND WAR.

In his timely and illuminating book, the author covers broadly and fully the most important question before the American people a question which has been growing greater and greater for years which has occupied whole newspaper pages which has engaged the thought of all seriously-minded people, been the subject of presidential messages and congressional debate, and the object of the study of statesmen of the world. The book treats thoroughly every phase of the Mexican question. It shows plainly what caused this world-wide problem what influences are back of it what will be the future of Mexico, and what its relation is to the American people. From this book you can learn, better than in any other way, all of the elements that go to make up the problem. No other book on the subject is so comprehensive so searching so understandable so timely so right-up-to-the-minute. No other writer on the subject has described the Mexican question so fully and frankly so interestingly or with such power to make his readers see vividly everything and influence as he portrays it. OF INTEREST TO EVERYONE IN YOUR COMMUNITY The vitality, pulsating problem of Mexico is one that concerns not alone statesmen and diplomats. It concerns every man, woman and child in the United States. It concerns you. It concerns your neighbor. It concerns every person in your community and in every other community in the United States. It has a bearing on your welfare on your prosperity perhaps on more

serious considerations, if the trumpets of war shall call friends or relatives to arms. In this question involving the honor and dignity of our own nation, as well as an obligation to humanity and government, every citizen feels a personal interest. For these reasons hundreds of thousands of men and women in every corner of the country will hail with keen interest the opportunity to buy and read this book. No book that has appeared for a long time has such a timely and well-spread appeal. Beyond any question of doubt, its popularity will over-sweep all records for quick and enormous sales. The Throbbing Life-stories of the Mexican Leaders Nothing more fascinating could be imagined than the stories of the shrewd and able men some of them scrupulous, and some unscrupulous who have planned, striven and perhaps died, . in the political and sangunary combat that has kept Mexico torn and bleeding for generation after generation. Did you know that Juarez, the conqueror and executor of Emperor Maximilian was a full-blooded Indian? that ex-President Diaz was of mixed blood? that Huerta was largely Aztec? The life stories of the Mexican leaders, past and present, as told by Frederick Starr, grip the interest of the reader until they seem to live in the pages of this absorbing book. Here we see the personality of the men who have made history, not as mere pawns, but as human beings whose thoughts, and impulses, and actions are thrown on the screen for us by this master writer.
