STATE CORN YIELD ABOVE AVERAGE, IS BRYANT'S FINDING

kThe beginning of com husking in he -state shows a yield of above aver age, according to the report of George 4 fC. Bryant, of the corn reporting serv!lce, for the week ending Saturday. 'The report reaas: "Temperatures for the week ranged very hi?h tor this season of the year and did not cool off until the last day. Rains were fairly generally felt over the state Friday and Saturday, which will be highly beneficial to the wheat end rye seeded during the early part of the week. No frost damage has been reported from any part of the state. "Wheat and rye seeding In the north half of the state was practically finished a week ago, but in the southern part it continued, with great rapidity until stopped by rains and some counties will have nearly a normal acreage. Yield About Average. "Corn husking has commenced in a Jew localities with yield running about average and the quality exceptionally Igood. Many farmers have selected an abundant supply of seed for next year's crop and consider it the best ior some years. "Buckwheat threshing has comBnenced in some parts and yields are running about as forecasted in earlier reports.. "White potatoes are now being bar'vested with the yield running very ;low and the quality poor. "Sweet potatoes are yielding fairly ood in the commercial localities and i.re excellent in quality. "Tobacco was all cut and housed tunder favorable conditions and with I he increase in acreage about the average crop was harvested, although the yield per acre was very light. "The apple crop was one of the smallest ever produced in the state," although a few orchards that had received exceptionally good care produced an average crop of very fine fruit. Clover Acreage Abandoned "A great deal of clover seed acreage was abandoned and the yield on the remaining acreage was considerably below the average. As a whole, he crop was the smallest in many .years. "The making of sirup from sorghum cane continued uninterruptedly until the end of the week with the quality -of sirup exceptionally good. "The farm labor supply is equal to the demand In most counties at the present time. 'With the exception of a few cases or hog cholera in scattered parts of j the state, all live stock is in generally good condition. "Pastures have but little feeding value at this time, but the recent rains have caused most of them to show some improvement."

Berlin Faces Freezing Winter; Supplies Low (By Associated Prese) BERLIN, Oct 13 Berlin faces a winter with little or no coal and consequent freezing conditions, lack of electricity, gas and lighting and In addition a shortage of dwellings. Up to now the government has In most cases contented itself with appealing to house owners who have more than enough room to volunteer some space to those without shelter. The replies have been exceedingly few and those in power are seriously considering an adaptation of the system in vogue In Budapest and Munich during the soviet regimes. That is, the authorities would forcibly take over parts of certain houses. A Berlin magistrate has ordered all the war companies, most of them in process of dissolution or entirely dissolved, out of their spacious quarters which they had enjoyed for the period of the war to provide places for those who have no homes. Neukoelln, a suburb of Berlin, has attehpted to help solve the situation by building emergency houses. Another surburb, Gruenau, proposes to confiscate the dwellings of bachelors and put families in them, though it is not stated what would be done with the bachelors. Other suburbs plan to confiscate, for the winter at least, the homes of summer guests that stand empty all winter, and fill them with the homeless. One suburb has already taken this step. The city of Berlin has erected in the Tempelhofer Chaussee district a model house of clay, and will duplicate them en masse if it is found that they are practicable. The dwelling authorities plan on the erection, as soon as

possible, of 5,500 permanent residences of a modest character. MAY PURCHASE PARSONAGE Purchase of a parsonage will be considered at the business meeting of the East Main Street Friends church, to be held at the church Monday evening. This proposition was brought up at the last meeting, but was carried over. VISIT ART GALLERY.

Letters to the parents and guardians of Richmond high school pupils were sent out by Principal Bate and Superintendent Bentley, Monday, informing them of the rules and regulations of the Richmond public schools and of the statute of Indiana governing the membership of pupils in secret societies. FAIR COMMITTEE TO MEET Initial steps for the indoor fair of Harry Ray post, American legion, will be taken at a meeting of the executive committee of the post, to be held in the Commercial club rooms Wednesday evening. BANKS CLOSED TODAY All the banks in the city were closed Monday in commemoration of Discovery Day which this year came on Sunday. Columbus discovered America on October 12th, 427 years ago. BAPTISTS TO FORT WAYNE The Rev. Addison Parker and the Rev. Shelby C. Lee are in Ft. Wayne attending the Indiana state Baptist convention.

The ice and coal business formerly operated by Otto Rettig has been taken over by G. L. Reinheimer, who will carry on the business and expand the business as soon as possible, he said Monday. Reinheimer has come to this city from New Paris, Ohio. Retig will devote his time to farming.

PRESIDENT'S ILLNESS CAUSED BY STRAIN OF LONG, LONELY FIGHT

WASHINGTON, D. C Oct. 13. President Wilson is not suffering from a cerebral lesion, but has been in danger of the very thing. This is the opinion of persons in Washington who, outside the cautious medical men attending him, are best able to form an opinion concerning the president's case. In Washington are many distinguished specialists accustomed to treating such cases as the president's has seemed to be. One idea every one of these specialists abandoned the moment it was seen that Dr. Dercum of Philadelphia was to be the only expert called in and that was the possibility that it was a "mental case." Dr. Dercurra is not a specialist in mental disorders, but a neurologist. His reputation is based on his knowledge of and treatment of physical reaction from nervous troubles. Ailment Purely Physical. Their conclusion is that the president's ailment is purely physical, but it is the consequence of mental strain and emotional strain. These have brought on the nervous exhaustion, which has been publicly announced, and with it a dangerously high blood pressure. It has been to prevent this high blood pressure, resulting in serious organic trouble or at worst the cerebral lesion spoken of that his physicians have been work ing. A factor of which the general public is unaware i3 the emotional strain to which the president has been subjected. His close friends know the president is a man of strong, sometimes violent, emotions. Like many another man, aware of a hot temper, he has spent much of his life sitting on the lid of his own emotions. The president in the last ten years of his life ha3 kept down what would have been a volcanic eruption time and again by exertion of his will. Has Violent Temper. Correspondents have not forgotten the time he threatened to whip the next one that sent out an unauthorized report that one of his daughters was betrothed, and that he proposed to inflict similar punishment on one suspected of unnecessarily annoying the present Mrs. Wilson in the time preceding their marriage. The emotional strain to which the president was subjected during his stay in Europe, and after his return, is little understood. It is no exaggeration to say he went to Europe in a veritable exaltation of spirit. His mind was fixed on the accomplishment of a splendid ideal. The reception he received from the lowly in the countries to which he went, such a reception as few men in history have experienced, lifted his spirit to a plane even higher. Then came, not a crash, but a blow, steady wearing down as he contended in Paris, week after week and month after month, with a group of as materially minded, nonidealistic statesmen as could well have been assembled. Fought Fight Alone The president found himself fighting practically alone. This was due, not to the fact that he did not have friends in Paris, but to an element in the president's own mental makeup, an element, that also helps explain his present collapse. The president never had learned to use friends. He was unable to turn the work, or any great part of it, over to others to do. He endeavored to do it all himself. He accepted burdens, the cumulative weight of which were too great for one man to bear. He carried the burden alone, just as he' had been m the habit of carrying it alone in Washington. To do this he worked day and night. President a Sensitive Man And he worked without the uplift

that had come to him gratuitously from the people of Europe at the be-iin

Denial that a military cencorship had been established at Gary, Ind., where federal troops are on duty bpcause of the steel strike, was made in a telegram received at the war deparement today form Major-General Wood, commanding the central department, with headquarters at Chicago. "No press censorship has been established at Gary," the message said.

SOME FINE

ginning, for before the day of his departure for home he knew this popu

lar acclaim had died away. The president i3 sensitive. This, too, may be news. But he is as responsive to the feelings of an audience as any other orator. He is as responsive to the feeling of a whole country as another visitor. Finally, convinced he had done a good work, but worn almost to the limit of his strength physically, and suffering the inevitable reaction of his real nature to the mental and emotional strain he had gane through, he came home In July. He did not find that rest awaiated him, nor the sustaining force of united popular approval. He found instead another fight to be made. He had one requisite for his end of the fight the fighting spirit, for what he regarded as the complete misconception of his efforts and achievements abroad was well calculated to arouse this. But he did not have the strength. At Wichita he realized it, and was persuaded to withdraw, temporarily, from the battle. The man lying ill In the White House has not abandoned his purpose of renewing the fight. His physicians have not abandoned it for him. They are carefully conserving his strength and warding off every possible strain that might be placed upon it. JAPAN TO SEND NEW AMBASSADOR TO U. S. i V Mr. K. Shidchara. ' Mr. K.
