BUMPER CROP OF CORN IS SEEN IN H00S1ER STATE Indiana Field Agent Predicts Biggest and Best in History. INDIANAPOLIS. Oct. S. If no killing frosts appear in Indiana before Oct. 20. the best and largest corn crop in the history of the state will mature, according to the Indiana Crop Summary, issued by George C. Bryant, Indiana field agent for the Bureau of Crop Estimates of the United States Department of Agriculture. Th8 oats yield Is above normal, but frost injured the late potato crop, while cold weather at blossoming time and blight reduced the applo crop, Mr. Eryant reports. The Field Agent's summary follows: "The weather for September (as shown by data in the Indianapolis station of the United States Weather Bureau) was favorable to nearly all crops a3 a whole, although the temperature, was slightly telow normal. A killing frost occurred on tho morning of Hie Hth in the north and east-central Rectlona of the state, doing considerable damage to corn and other crops in low and muck ground. Precipitation was generally deficient and a greater portion fell during the first week. While the soil in tome localities is quite dry fall ploying and seeding is progressing very satisfactorily. Llttls in Central. "High ground corn was damaged but little, and in the central and south parts of the state there was practically no frost damage. The crop as a whole, however, is from tea to twenty days late, but will mature one of the best and largest crops the stftte has ever produced if no killing frost cccurss befcrt Oct. 20th. But little damage has been reported from insects or storms and much of the frosted corn has been saved by putting it into silos. "The oats yield is considerably above normal and the quality good although some are slightly stained. "The early crop of potatoes was exceptionally good, hv.t the late crop was

struck by frost in some Factions and will :iot be as large as anticipated. "In the dark district the tobacco crop is one of the best in years. The hurley crop is not so good however. Unfavorable weather "and poor plant reduced the hurley very materially. "Cold weatfier at blossoming time, and blight, blotch and coddling moth have reduced the apple production very materially. "Cold weaJher at blossoming time, and blight, blotch and coddling moth have reduced the apple production very materially. Only the orchards whore modern methods of spraying were used will have a marketable crop thsi year."

"Later I heard a whirring noise something like an aeroplane and I smelled the odor of gasoline, which I though was the submarine returning toward the Belgian Prince to pick up its four men. When day broke there were lots of dead bodies of my old shipmates floating around me. "Then, about 5 o'clock, as near as I could judge, I made out the Belgian Prince and four men coming over its side. They had been lowering some stuff off the Belgian Prince into the boat alongside. I cried out: 'Help, help,' but they paid no attention to me. "At this time the submarine came to the surface about fifty yards from the Belgian Prince and the four men from the Belgian Prince approached the submarine 'in their boat They hoisted some stuff out of the rowboat and put it on board the submarine, and abcut ten minutes afterward it submerged, leaving one man in the lifeboat, the other three having gene on board the submarine. End of the Belgian Prince. "As the submarine submerged I heard a great explosion and the Belgian Prince broke in two and sank. I saw a vessel approaching- from a far distance, and it gradually approached me. It came 'within a hundred yards of me, close -to where, . the . Belgian Prince had sunk. It passed me. proceeded some little distance, turned around and came back and picked me up. at wb,lch time I was just commencing to lose consciousness. As soon as I was revived I made a full statement of the sinking of the Belgian Prince and the drowning of its crew to the captain of the boat that picked me up, which was a British patrol boat. "It appears that the man whom I mentioned as having been left in the rowboat when the submarine submerged was picked up by the British patrol boat after I became uncon-j scious. also the chief engineer of the; Belgian Prince, who had got hold of a! leg after the submarine first submerged and thus save his life. ; In Ho-pital Eight Days. "We were taken by the Eritish patrol beat to Londenderry, Ireland. After we landed at Londenderry, I was In a hospital for eight days, recovering from my experiences in the water. '"While I was in the hospital they kent the man who was picked up out; effhe lifeboat, and who was a Russian i

and a member cf the Belgian Prince's crew, in confinement in Londonderry until I recovered sufficiently to give a statement to the British officials, the Russian having told a somewhat different story which they could not believe until I corroborated it in most of its particulars.

"I believe the reason they waited for

my storv was that they could scarcelv believe from the Russian that the German would do such a thing."

Months ago we anticipated our requirements on a very liberal scale and stocked up heavily at prices then prevailing. Our customers are benefiting by our foresight and preparedness. And there never was a better time to buy diamonds. People to whom the ownership of a diamond has heretofore been merely a dream are today well able to gratify the desire. Get as much profit as possible out of the present fortuitous combination of circumstances. Let us show you diamonds of dependable quality at yesterday's prices.
