YELLOW RIBBONS AT LOCAL MEETING GOT W. J. BRYAN'S GOAT
Senator James E. Watson, at Indianapolis Sunday, recalled a novel Scheme Inaugurated in the campaign of 1896 by tho late John K. Gowdy. of Itushvllle, then chairman of the Republcan state committee. Mr. Gowdy was also one of the managers of the Mo Kinley campaign, and along with the others he "was worried greatly by the enormous crowds William Jennlng3 Bryan was drawing on his tour of the country. Senator Watson says that It was a serlou question with Mr. Gowdy and
other McKinley managers whether Mi

Farm Federation
The month of August promises to he one of the busiest months of the year on the calendar of the Indiana Federation of Farmers' associations. Officers of the organization are looking forward to many activities including the start in many of the county units of membership drives conducted under
McKinley should abandon his front . the uniform nlan system which they
porch campaign at Canton and tako'hope will pave the way for the. Hoos-
the stump against Mr. Bryan. Finally
Mr. Gowdy hit upon a plan of determining whether a majority of Mr. Bryans audience were Republicans or Democrats. He strongly suspected that at least half of those present were Republicans. "Around Their Neck They Wore." He called in his trusted lieutenants and instructed them to obtain a large number of yellow ribbon badges, the emblem of the sound money element in that campaign. These badges were distributed quietly and generally among Republican in the Indiana cities at which Mr. Bryan was to speak. They were requested to wear them if they were sin cerely interested in the campaign of Mr. MeKlnley. The experiment was watched witi keen interest by Mr. Gowdy and his associates. Senator Watson says that the first meeting Mr. Bryan addressed confirmed the judgment of Mr. Gowdy that-fully half of the crowd was Republican, which was demonstrated by the number of men who appeared with the long ribbons on the lapels of their Mr. Bryan was not In Indiana long before he was addressing crowds in which there were hundreds of men wearing the yellow ribbon bauges showing that they were Republicans and attending the meetings put of curiosity rather than a determination to support the Democratic presidential candidate. nt Marf at 'Em Here.
Senator Watson, who was running for congress from the sixth district in that campaign, recalls that at Richmond fully three -fourths of the men wore yellow ribbons and that mi. Bryan was so incensed over their ac,i t-hnt referred to it In his

many parts oi u j -- speeches from Senator Harding, but he asserts that no presidential candidate ever has met with much success through the making of long tours and he is convinced that the Republican party will be In much better shape if Senator Harding and the national organization turn a deaf ear to the requests that are being made that the front-porch plan be abandoned, at least in part.
ier state to become the strongest
farmers' association in the way of membership of any of the sister states of the middle west.
When the present officers of the
federation in this state took over their
duties they set 100,000 members before the second annual convention in November as their goal, but recent developments along with remarkable success in many of their enterprises has
given the movement wonderful momentum and 'they now have visions of a
membership of 150,000 before the winter months set in. Many membership drives open In counties affiliated with the state federation during the month of August several of which have rural populations among the largest in Indiana. Among the counties which open campaigns this month are Allen, Cass, Lawrence, Dubois, Clay, Owen, Putnam, Jefferson, Hamilton and Washington Counties. First place honors among counties in this state for membership at the present standing go to Madison county, but reports reaching headquarters are to the effect that a number of counties are figuring on concentrated drives in which every
farmer In the unit will be visited and are predicting that Madison's membership will have to be increased if that county is to retain the premier honors.

CHINCH BUGS WORK HAVOC IN FIELDS
Chinch bugs, one of the moet devastating insect pests that prey on farm crops, have started migrating in many Indiana fields and It is difficult to estimate the damage they will cause if not controlled, according to Frank N. Wallace, entomologl6t under the department of conservation. A month ago the department warned of the presence of the pest then predominant in considerable numbers in various parts of the state, and cautioned that unless preventive measures were employed, the bugs would desert the wheat and rye fields and migrate to the young corn. A few days ago reports came in that the bugs were migrating in Marion county. Later evidence reached the department of their crossing into the corn in several of the southern counties. Now comes a report from Charles Dunn, llivng on the Pendleton
pike northeast of Indianapolis, that chinch bugs left a rye field of his neighbor, crossed the road and are now in his corn by the millions. According to Mr. Wallace, remedial treatment consists of spraying the af
fected corn with a kerosene emulsion. Build barriers around the affected zones, using straw and constructing barriers four inches high and six inches wide. Saturate these with a heavy road oil this oil being preferable because it will not dry out as rapidly as lighter oils. These oil-soaked barriers are impassable and the bugs will congregate by the millions and travel parallel with the barriers seeking to escape. A favorite method of extermination is to dig post holes at intervals of 30 feet along the inside of the barriers.
The bugs in .their efforts to cross will crawl into these holes and may easily be killed by pouring oil in on them. Indiana had been comparatively free of this pest for several years until the summer of 1919, when several outbreaks were reported.
The rarm and the Farmer By William R. Sanborn
- j There was at least on small crop of apricots In Union county this season, according to Homer Lafuze, who also had "plenty of plums." The writer saw those apricots in bloom, a fragrant mass of blossoms surely, which Is not always a surety of apricots In this latitude. Mr. Lafuze said that Jiis wheat ran something over 11 bushels, same being now in his granary; also that he has 80 acres of corn which is up and coming, and has cut 15 acres of extra good oats. Sudden Drop in Price. Richards and Armacost, at New Hope, Ohio, took in a few loads of wheat last Friday at $2.30, when the usual price through this belt was $2.20. But they changed their tune on Saturday morning, making a flat drop of 20 cents to $2.10 to the first arrival.
Preble county has been paying the
outside figure right along on grain,
running mostly 5 cents per bushel over Wayne prices, until the bottom

Sold 170 Head of Hogs. D. R. Funk reports the luck of being the first in his threshing ring and of selling his wheat at $2.65 at New Paris, early. He also cleaned out his

"It is difficult to tell what will be the situation in regard to the fly this fall. The country is full of them Juet now. If they have not been parasitized, it is likely that the ravages will be pretty bad. It certainly will be advisable to sow as near the safety date as possible."

. Robert L. Moorhead, State Americanism chairman of the American Legion, has been notified that plans hae been perfected by the National Americanism commission, of which Colonel Arthur Wood3 is chairman, whereby the men of legion posts will be able to cooperate with the 34 hospitals of Indiana, to take care of the disabled service men who are receiving medical treatment. Plans have also been made for the reception and after care of wounded soldiers who are released from hospitals in other states, and are returning to their homes outside of the state. Forty-eight states have been canvassed by the Americanism commission, with a view to helping the 17,000 ex-service men who are now confined in 700 different hospitals. Legion posts will send members to visit these men. Co-operation of the Women's Auxiliary will be an important part of the program. Special efforts will be made to aid
the 150 men who are discharged dally from hospitals. Help will be given
them in obtaining work, and in look

The increase in demand and prices is believed caused in great measure by the Volstead act, as householders are buying the berries In lots as large as 100 gallons.

It was stated at the farmers mass
meeting that Wayne county now has

now on the charge will be $5 in all townships. This will give a larger local fund to properly carry on the work of the organization.

will plant no wheat this fall, judging from the way they are now talking. At any rate no particular effort will be made to increase the yield. The break

KANSAS GARNERS HALF BILLION FROM CROPS
(By Associated Press) KANSOS CITY, Aug. 2. With the second largest wheat crop in its history and prospects of a bumper corn crop at the same time, the great sunlit prairies of Kansas this year are expected to yield approximately half a billion dollars. There are other items, such as alfalfa, oats, barley and potatoes, to bring in a few more millions, not to mention pin money for the women folks from chickens, butter and eggs. Many Kansas farmers contended that a good corn year was a bad wheat year. Experience has shown them that the rains needed by the corn at the growing season were usually injurious to the ripening wheat grains, while the blistering sun, which made won
derful wheat, bleached the life out of the corn. This year, however, mild rains fell through the night, giving strength to the corn and yet not too much moisture, which would soften the ground. Ripening and threshing of wheat continued without interruption. Stories of the abundance of the wheat crop reaches this gateway city daily. There are many tales about the roads being choked with vvolunteer wheat, grain blown from the field and growing In the highways. For instance, the little village of Menlo In Thomas county, the center of a very fertile wheat district. Is reported as well nigh enclosed by the miles of growing grain which reach right up
to the village. For ten miles looking in every direction the visitor sees almost nothing but what appears one vast field of wheat. Fences, low buildings and roads are hidden by the great yellow carpet.

Claims great relief since taking Dreco, the great herbal
remedy.
When the kidneys become weak or deranged it Is impossible for them to
separate the poisons from the blood
as It passes through these orcans:
the kidneys are the filtering plant
for the body; as tho blood goes j through thoy strain out the poisons and pass them from tho system. If these poisons stay In the blood such troubles as rheumatism, catarrh, sallow skin, dizziness, headaches, etc.
show up. The body requires a full supply of pure, rich red blood, free from poisons, to keep it In a healthy condition. Dreco acts on the kidneys, keeping them strong to purify our blood supply. "Tho greatest relief I've known In years is since I took Dreco," said Mr. Lester S. Geyer, employed by the Starr Piano Co., Richmond, Ind. "I've been full of rheumatism, aching Joints and sore muscles for a long time. "My hands were so sore I couldn't double up my fists; I couldn't bend over without having terrible pains In my back. "I've taken so much medicine that my stomach was all out of order. My food didn't digest and I got nervous aud weak, but I'm feeling great once more for I've never seen anything take hold like Dreco did. It simply knocked out my troubles and put me on my feet again." All good druggists now sell Dreco and It Is highly recommended in Richmond by Clem Thistlethwaite's Seven Drug Stores. Advertisement.
