WHEAT RECORD GOES TO HEW PARIS MAN New Paris claims the wheat record (or this seasort. On the Billman (arm, three and one toalf miles north of New Paris, six acres of wheat was threshed Monday, yielding 284 bushes, an average of 47.3 bushels to the acre. This is the highest yield reported this year. Last .year Oscar Rich, who resides west of Richmond reported a yield of 63 bushel to the acre on fifteen acres. This wras supposed to be sv Btate record. ' The Farm " Sei"Vlce Department would like to heair- of other large yields, together with a short account of the methods empitoyed by the farmer In raising the cro p. . i '. n n urn

him promotion from time vto time until he was made general btook-keeper. In 1S72 when the Second National Bank was 'organized he was tendered and accepted the position of cashier of that institution, continuing in that
'capacity until January 1, ' 1898, when he was elected vice presildent and in ' August, J901, he became b resident, in 'which position ho continued up to his death. He was a close student of the liAnklnir hiiadnftRa in all denartmentS
of which he kept in close touch with rthe advances made from year to year. In politics he was a Republican. He was identified with I'.he Masonic order, being a member of, Richmond .lodge, Free and Accepted Masons; King Solomon's chapter; Royal Arch Mason's Richmond commandery Knights Templar; and Indianapolis Consistory, Sublime Princes of the Royal Secret. In October, 1879, Mr. Dougan was united in marriage to Miss Helen L. Scott, a daughter of William G. Scott, xloccafed. They hold membership in .'the l'rcabyterian church and for many .cars Mr. Dougan has served as one ;5f its trustees. Popular In County. John B. Dougan was probably one
itof the best known and most popular men in Wayne county. The popular affection and respect ifor him was inspired by his big heart, broad mindedness, affability and readiness to assist deserving friends, even strangers in need of both moral and financial encouragement. One of the largest property holders 4n Wayne county he was always the 'despair of other landlords because of his liberality toward his tenants. "Why he pampered his tenants like they were a lot of children," laughingly complained one man who owns a number of tenant houses. "Mr. Dougan seldom waited for the .people who rented from him to ask for improvements . He shoved improveiments on them. He took the-greatest ;pride in the houses he rented and I .'have known cases where he even presented tenants with kitchen ranges and refrigerators. The slightest intimation on the part of a tenant that ome improvement was required was promptly complied with by Mr. Dougan and without question. Because of this liberality, however, he was seldom taken advantage of." Helped the Poor. There are a number of families in
Richmond, especially in the south end who will always reserve the greatest iaffection for the memory for Richmond's modest and open hearted phifl V. I Una V Avn TV f TiMirrn r
.Tauilt homes which he permitted them Ho pay for with their monthly rentals. It frequently took several years for fMr. Dougan to receive back the full amount of money invested by him in leuch a home. Perhaps no one will ever know how pnany young men and women of Richanond and Wayne county owe their educations to this man with the ever ready smile of encouragement and his ever ready helping hand, who until 'the last loved his brother men and ;-who never lost his faith in humanity. !One of the greatest artists in the Uni'ted States, whose paintings now sell Jlor fabulous sums, owes his success to ;the financial aid given him by Mr. Dougan when he was striving hard to make his mark in what appeared to him to be a cold and unappreciative World. Young men, some of whom Mr. Dou-.-gan scarcely knew by sight, received from him the funds they used to meet their college expenses. Young girls, especially those who gave promise of developing into good singers, received money from him to have their voices cultured. Gives Good Advice. One young woman, possessor of a
remarkable voice, after two or three years of 'training at Mr. Dougan's, expense, blushrlngly informed him that she had given up her ambition to become a great grand opera - star and had decided to marry. With a smile Mr. Dougan informed her that "a good wife is better than the greatest grand opera star," and told her, as he did all other he aided in securing educations, "pay me back when you can afford to. There is no hurry." One morning, the story goes, Mr. Dougan was called from his breakfast table by an aged colored man and his wife, who told him that their son had been arrested, but could be released on payment of $25. They offered to mortgage a venerable hog for that sum. With a hearty laugh Mr. Dougan went with them to the bank, had the mortgage executed and. then advanced them the money. It was whispered that the mortgage was torn up when Mr. Dougan returned home, but he always maintained that in due time the mortgage was paid off. Being generous to a fault, nothing ever made him more indignant than for some beneficiary of his generosity to attempt to take advantage of him. This was attempted once by a man living in the west end of the county, to whom Mr. Dougan had advanced quite a large loan, principally secured by the man's word of honor. When it became evident that this was poor security Mr. Dougan sent him such a scathing letter that payment was made without further delay.
Thorough Business Man.
Although Mr. Dougan tempered the stern rules which govern success in the business world by daily acts of kindness toward friends and neighbors less fortunate than himself, ever advocating and practicing, "do unto others as ye would have others do unto you," he was none the less a thorough and successful business man, one of the most astute bankers in Indiana. This fact is proved by the fact that under his presidency the Second National bank of this city is today one of the most solid, reliable and prosperous institutions in the middle west. Twelve years ago Mr. Dougan was stricken with paralysis and a short
time later : was afflicted with a second attack, of this dread disease. For many : months he was Incapacitated and compelled to give up all active business cares. However, as soon as he was able to get about again he resumed his duties at the bank and until a short time before his death visited that institution daily and kept in close touch with Its affairs. Pronounced Religious View. Mr. Dougan had pronounced religious tendencies, but it was typical of him that in his religious views ho was broadminded and tolerant of the opinions of others. Mr. and ' Mrs. Dougan became affiliated with the First Presbyterian church of this city in 1876 and from the first was always interested In its affairs. Until a year ago he was president of the church's board of 'trustees and at the time of his death was a member of that body. About a year ago a new heating system was installed in the church at a cost of $3,600 of which amount Mr. Dougan paid $2,000. He also was instrumental tn securing a new organ for the. church and it is anticipated that he has set aside a fund to pay all or a greater part of its cost. Mr. Dotogan only a few weeks ago gave to the- church one of his houses, for a parsonage. The pastor had been renting - this home from Mr. Dougan and the latter paid all the expenses of itsfinely equipped study. Mr.Dougan's intense love of music was emphasized In his relations with
the church. He took the greatest in
terest in the choir and much of Its expenses were met out of his liberal
purse.

of lobsters in the world is 125,000,000
