LUXEMBOURG ROSE GROWERS PRAISE U. S. ARMY 111 LETTER TO LOCAL FLORIST

An order from Luxemburg, the first in over four years, has arrived at the E. G. Hill company offices In this city. Before 1914 the Grand Duche of Luxemburg was one of the chief foreign markets for roses, and yesterday E. G. Hill'Veceived a letter from the Ketten Freres rose cultivators, saying: "The possibility being given to correspond again with your place, we take this our first opportunity to congratulate you on the good end of this terrible war, and-to assure you of our slncerest sympathy and express our highest esteem for your dear country and its glorious army and navy. "As you might have learned by the papers, our small country has not been preserved from troubles and privations during the war; occupied by the bandits boches on August 1, 1914, it has only been delivered from them the 24th of November, 1918. by the American and French soldiers. "Personally we had to suffer much. During the Invasion our business was quite paralysed. This was due to the impossibility to enter into relations with nine-tenths of our customers. Also it was with the utmost exertion that we were able to keep up our collection of roses with a few exceptions. Nearly eight hectares of our cultures having been entirely destroyed by the German brutes in August, 1914. "We are at present enjoying happiness again and are looking forward hoping that business will revive next autumn. Our stock of rose3 for 19191920 will be about one-half of our stock before the war. "Wanting to fill up our assortment of roses with different varieties appeared since 1914, we should be much TWO HUNDRED AT HOG MEETING Two hundred farmers interested in hog growing attended the hog meeting Tuesday afternoon on the Swiggert farm south of Pershing. J. W. - Schwab, of Purdue, in his talk on swine-feeding, quoted figures showing that hogs fed on corn and tankage made a profit of $19 more per ton than hogs- fed on corn alone. He said that hog feeds in rank of importance were corn, corn byproducts, barley and commercial feeds. He said the latter were usually too coarse of fiber for ideal feeds. County Agent J. C. Kline talked on the value of soy beans in hog feeding, emphasizing the fact that soy beans at almost no cost, were equal i in feeding value when fed with corn to tanage at $115 per ton. Court Records BOY GETS JAIL SENTENCE After being out more than sixteen hours, the jury , in the case of Chester Farley, one of the four negro boys charged with burglary of George Salas' shoeshining parlor, brought in a verdict Wednesday morning at 9 o'clock of guilty and placed the sentence at eighteen months in the county jail. Because of a state law which provides that when a sentence of more than 60 days in jail' is imposed the sentence shall be served on the state penal farm, the boy will spend the eighteen months there. The length of the jury's debate makes a record for this term of court. The case was given to them at five o'clock Tuesday evening. The third of the boys will be tried Friday, as County Prosecutor Gath Freeman is to be Thursday at the trial of James Howard, negro accused of killing Gideon Klingman of Richmond last fall. The Howard trial takes place in Winchester on a cnange of venue to Randolph county. A divorce was granted to Harvey B. Shank from Nina F. Shank on the ground of abandonment, and a plea denying the defendants cross complaint was filed by Arthur Freeman Everett against Maude Everett, in his suit for divorce.

KETTEN. FARMERS WARNED OF 1919 BUG PLAGUES INDIANAPOLIS, Feb. 12. Two bug plagues are due to visit Indiana this summer, according to Frank N. Wallace, state entomologist. Every indication points to the belief that grasshoppers will be more numerous than last year, he says, and In addition the seventeen-year locusts are scheduled to appear. Mr, Wallace urges farmers and gardeners to prepare to aid the natural enemies of the grasshoppers in annihilating them. The most common natural enemies, he said, are the black blister beetle or the old-fashioned potato bug, the young of which feeds on grasshopper eggs, and a fungus growth that attacks the young and kills them. Neither of these forces, he said, has been prevalent in recent years. As an aid to these forces, Mr. Wal lace suggests that farmers spread a prepared poison along the roadsides and in their fields early in the season. This preparation consists of fifty pounds of bran, one pound -of paris green, the juice of half a dozen lemons and a gallon of old-fashioned New Orleans molasses. The last two ingredients are said to be essential to the preparation which, if sprinkled in the evening, attracts the grasshoppers from anything upon which they are feeding. It is not believed that the visit of the seventeen-year locusts will be serious, Mr. Wallace says. Workers Welfare Program Is Adopted by Germans MUNICH, Feb. 12. The new government department for social affairs, one of the first fruits of the revolution has announced a program which contains some novel features intended to promote the welfare of the workers. One of the most important of its plans is to organize a new bureau of public health to be charged with the task of ascertaining the causes of illness among employes in all trades and the discovery of means of preventing them. All industries are to be inspected by representatives of labor organizations so that workmen may be assured of better protection. It is intended to prohibit after April 1 the publication of advertisements offering employment. The reason for this is not stated. Other plans announced by the new department are: Extension of the powers of industrial physicians. Interesting of capital in the construction of workmen's homes. New arrangement of the working hours of house servants, including more free time. Farmers, peasants and country laborers are to be placed on an equal basis with industrial and trade workers. New arrangement of the payment of war pensions for the families of those injured in the war. Alteration of the existing home worker laws with special reference to the working women who labor at home. ANNOUNCE MUSICAL EVENTS FOR CITY Richmond is to have two musical events this spring. It was announced today that it will be possible to bring Madame Frances Alda, one of the leading sopranos of the Metropolitan Grand Opera of New York here for a concert, and that Alsa Caroline Lazzari, the leading contralto of the Chicago Grand Opera Association, and Rudolph Gans, one of America's fore-j most pianists win appear in a joint recital.

AMENDMENT TO Continued From 'age One. Following discussion extending over more than an hour the senate today endorsed the proposed constitutional amendment providing that the legislature shall create the office of superintendent of public Instruction as an appointive office. The kill was 30 to 15, the Democrats voting solidly against it. Lieut. Governor Bush refused to entertain a motion to throttle discussion and said this question 6hould be debated at length. An attempt to kill Senator Duffey'e bill creating a state highway commission was made by Senator Nedjl who moved that the committee on roads be requested to report it forthwith because the bill provides for a tax levy Nedjl pointed out that tax legislation must originate in the house. His motion was tabled, but Duffer agreed to withdraw the pending bill and reintroduce it minus the taxation feature. Three joint resolutions for amending the constitution were introduced. One provides that 30 senate and tiO house votes are necessary to override the governor's veto. Another would empower the legislature to provide means of impeaching prosecuting attorneys and a third would authorize the attorney general to order a change of venue when an unbiased jury could not be obtained.
