Growing Among the Purdue awards for excellence in corn growing last year is one that was won by Joseph Helms, one of Wayne county's farmers who has been interested in corn culture for many years. His knowledge of the excellent points about corn and the proper methods to obtain increased yields have resulted in his selection as corn judge in many contests. The recent honor conferred upon him by Purdue university brings distinction to him and to the county in -which he resides. W. H. Baker, of Greene county, won the cham

pionship medal in the five-acre contest of 1920. He won .the medal in 1919, too. 'His average in 1920 was 128.8 bushels to the acre. The average yield in Indiana was 40.5 bushels to the acre. The average acre yield of the 470 men who took part in the contest was 81 bushels, or twice the average state yield. A farmer who succeeds in obtaining an increased yield to the acre of any crop is a benefactor to the community in which his farm is situated. He proves that the land is capable of greater production if it is tilled correctly and if proper methods of handling the particular crop are employed. Every increase which the agriculturist is able to obtain from the soil without depleting its fertility is as much a step forward as is the successful application of an efficiency system in an industry by which a greater output is obtained with the same labor and from the same tools. Farmers are beginning to look upon their enterprises as business ventures and are imitating the owners of industries in adapting and applying approved methods to obtain results with the same labor from the same number of acres. The application of these methods is raising the farmer to a new level in his own industry. He is still a tiller of the soil, but he is also a business man, keenly on the alert to discover new methods of procedure and watchful against leaks that decrease his income. Through his organizations, he is obtaining an

analysis of market conditions, of costs, of advantageous buying methods, and of successful marketing. He is making his influence felt in financial circles and in the legislative halls. A new era has dawned for agriculture and the farmer is not slow to take advantage of it. The results announced by Purdue university in the corn growing contest are indicative of this new spirit. He is determined to make the nation respect both his industry and his place in it. The institute to be held here soon will reveal the forward looking spirit of Wayne county farmers.

Governor McCray's Message In his first message to an Indiana legislature, Governor McCray emphasizes two highly important principles upon which he hopes to base the success of his administration. One of them is an efficient and business-like conduct of the affairs of the state and the other is rigid economy. He appears before the Indiana public as a business man who has taken over the management of a gigantic concern. The responsibility of that management is, duly appreciated by the incoming governor. He has few recommendations for legislation to make to the general assembly, acting on the theory that the enactment of a few major pieces of legislation that have real merit in so far as' they will benefit the whole state is "preferable to the passage of scores of laws that will merely increase the number on the statute books. He advises the legislature to be careful in voting appropriations, although he does not want them to be niggardly in refusing money for purposes that are essential and vital. Governor McCray wants the state institutions provided with enough money so that they can fulfill the functions for which they were created. Indiana should be a leader in education, he believes. His views on the state tax law, the primary, the budget system and road improvements are repetitions of the statements which he made when he was asking the people to elect him to be governor. Governor McCray begins hLs administration with the best wishes of the vast majority of the voters of Indiana. He was elevated to office by a large vote of the men and women of the state. They believe he has the essentials required of a good executive and they are confidently looking to him for the fulfillment of his pre-election promises and for the enactment of progressive and substantial legislation.

Answers to Questions

- i Subscriber- Please print a biography of Scout I S. Kelly. Luther S. ("Yellowstone") Kellv. scout, was born in 1849 at Geneva. N. Y., being the oldest child and namesake of Luther Kelly, for many years a prominent merchant in central New York, who died when the - son was but 8 years of age. The youth passed through the freshman year at the Genesee Methodist college, then at Lima, N. Y., later moved to Syracuse. The life there did not suit him, and when he was 16, with the rather reluctant consent of his family, he, in 1865, went into the Red River country, going from there into the Yellowstone region. There he spent more than 12 years, hunting and trapping. He was known to the Indians as "the man who never lays flown his gun," in allusion to their belief that he would never surrender, and as "Lone Wolf," because of his fondness for roaming alone. His wanderings covered immense stretches of country. Kelly's life in the West had none of the whooping, boisterous, bellowing glamour that is included in the career of the conventional scout and cowboy. He never was known to "lose his read." "Buffalo Bill" once said of him, "He's a good man to tie to." Kelly was a government scout for a number of years. He located the camp of Sitting Bull and led the expedition commanded by General Miles that was the death blow to the warlike Sioux. He served in the SpanishAmerican War, after which he was appointed to the office of provincial treasurer in the Philippines.

Alonzo Wood, a farmer near Savannah, Ga., lost his gold watch valued at $100, while picking apples a few days ago. Search was made and many of the barrels not yet shipped were dumped, but to no purpose. Mr. Wood's monogram is engraved on the watch, which is believed i to be in a shipment to New York city. If anybody gets a barrel of apples with a gold watch included, it is not meant as a prize package, or covered by the first cost, Mr. Wood explains.

VENTURES IN COMMON SENSE 1

By ED HOWE The less a man amounts to, the more sentimental he is; the stronger his disposition to believe that what he thinks is the truth, and that whatever another says is a vicious lie. A man of intelligence always listens to the other side; he wants to know what there is in it. He is not forever paying, "There is a good deal in it," when there is nothing in it.

Sentiment has failed, but there is evidence mountain high that industry, temperance, fairness and politeness are the sum of science, philosophy and plain common sense.

Gen. Leonard Wood addressing' crowd at laying of the cornerstone. On the second anniversary of his death the cornerstone of the memorial in New York to Theodore Roosevelt was laid with impressive ceremonies. The Women's Roosevelt Memorial Association owns the birthplace of the former president, soldier and rough-rider and is restoring it with many of the orinigal furnishings. It is also in charge of the new building project. The new building, just begun, is on adjoining property and Americanization classes will be conducted in it.

A man engaged in screaming that he has a big heart and mind, and desires to convert the heathens, rescue the poor from oppression, and rid the world of ill that are at least natural, if not entirely imaginary, is really no better than others, and usually not so good; he is prejudiced, unfair, and behind his propaganda is a well-defined plan to benefit himself, so he soon begins attacking other men who do not believe as he does. They reply in kind, and there is a dreadful mess; he proves his opponents are hypocrites, and they prove he Is another. Meanwhile the people look on with interest, gradually take sides, and the row spreads to every hamlet and to almost every family. Finally the sword is substituted for the pen, and a row is on, the like of which has never been 6ecn. It is no more than the plain truth to say that the base of every great row is over-wrought sentimentality. It is the base of every noted and mischievous lie; it is responsible for the lamentable fact that more foolish lying is going on today than ever before in the world's history. It is responsible for the fact that there is almost no such thing left as a reasonable, truthful man.

v - THE OPERATION FAD When something hurt our wellknown dads, the doc prescribed his pills, or liniments, or liver pads, or compound juice or squills; but now he'd take his saw or adze, to cure us of our ills. There was some sense In being sick in brave old days like those, for then the tired nnd footsore hick !n illness found repose; what time the doctor, summoned quick, prescribed the proper dose. I often sought the village doc. when I had ache or smart and he would give me pills of chalk that nearly broke my heart; but never did this healer talk of rending me apart. He gave ten drops of melted wax much virtue in It lies; and stuff that tastes like carpet tacks, and pills of giant' size; but never did he shake an axe before my shrinking eyes. But now when to the doc I trot, because of ache or pain, he prods me in the tender spot, and says that pills are vain: he wants to lay me on a cot, and split my form in twain. H says, "Oh, thunder!" and "Oh, pshaw!" when I old methods name; he says there ought to be a law against that ancient game, he wants to take his cross cut saw, and push it through my frame. I have about a hundred ills and cannot have them healed, because, while I will swallow pills, I won't be sliced or peeled; I won't be cured of mumps or chills by tools the surgeons wield.

Memories of Old Days In This Paper Ten Years Ago Today

Prisoners confined in the county jail were set to work by Sheriff Albert Steen. They were to learn the art of cracking stone and to work 10 hoars a day the sheriff said. The change in administration at the jail did not please many of the old boarders because of the new rules enacted by the new sheriff. The sheriff caused considerable alarm In the prisoners camp by In

forming them if they ever came back they would be fed on bread and water during their term. While this diet was not served to any of the prisoners one or two were inclined to disobey the jail rules were promised it, if they did not change their tactics.

Dinner Stories

The young man had a discoloration on his face. You can hardly call it a beauty spot for it was a discoloration of the region surrounding his right eye. He tried to look as if he had got It through attempting some daring feat in sport or war, but neither in war nor sport, does one, as a rule, get a black eye, so when he met his chum the latter wished to know all about It. "It was only a lovers' quarrel." said the young man. "H'm" said his friend. "She must be a pretty powerful woman. The young man sighed. "She didn't do it," he said. "It was her other lover. "Willie, why were you disobedient to your Aunt Jane?" "I wasn't disobedient, mother." "Yes you were. Haven't you been swimming this afternoon? "Yes." "Didn't I hear your Aunt Jane tell you not to go swimming?" "No; she didn't say that at all. She only came to the door and shouted. 'Willie, I wouldn't go swimming." And I shouldn't thing she would. What would folks think if they saw a woman like Aunt Jane swimming in the creek?"

TODAY'S TALK By George Matthew Adams, Author of "You Can", "Take It", "Up". OUR OPPOSITE NATURES What funny folks we are anyway! How strange that we are the most loyally devoted to our opposites. , People used to marvel at th clqte friendship that grew up between Thoreau and Stevenson. Such opposites! One loving the quiet and serenity of the forest and streams and content with their companionship, and the other pulsating with animal spirits and longing for and enjoying the companionship of friends as few men have. Stevenson once wrote: "Upon me this pure, narrow, sunnily ascetic Thoreau had exercised a great charm." I think that we get along with those who are most different from us maybe having opposite faults to ours. Anyway, if we are very tolerant, we see bigger qualities in those who are the least like us. This goes to prove how wise the great God is. Everybody would be trying to take the same train at the same time, and we would all be seeking to gain the same thing at once, were it not that each of us was built at a different time and molded from just a little different mold. t It was for this reason that patience was Invented! Our opposite natures get us Into lots of trouble, but they get us out more times than they get us in. It is a splendid thing for us all to reason with ourselves often and for good periods. Our opposites will like us better if we do! Let's try.

CHILDREN IN BERLIN FAVOR THE FRIENDS (By Associated Press) SHANGHAI. Jan. , 11. By means of the hydroslide, which the British used successfully in Mesopotamia during the war, another effort and one wholly novel to China is to be made to conquer the rapids of the Yangtsze gorges. At places there the current attains a velocity of more than 30 miles an hour. The ordinary head of navigation for steamers on the Yangtsze is at Ichang. a thousand miles from the coast, but Szechuen, China's most populous province, and one of its richest, lies nearly 400 miles further up the river, beyond the wild bandit-ridden country of the gorges. Require Special Vessels. Steamer navigation by means of specially constructed vessels of high power is possible for seven months of the year. In the other five months products from Szchuen and Tibet, and imports up-river are carried by native junks. Boats bound up river commonly are laboriously dragged by hundreds of coolies. The use of the hydroslides on the upper Yangtsze is the enterprise of a French company with headquarters in Shanghai. A number of these craft were sent up the Yangtsze from Shanghai in December for trial runs.

BELGIUM ACTIVE IN RECLAIMING FARMS

(By Associated Press) WASHINGTON, Jan. 11. Belgium is making good progress in rebuilding farms and rehabilitating its agricultural production. Reports from the American consul at Brussels show that at the end of the first nine months of 1920, more than"61,775 acres out of about 148,260 acres of war swept soil had been put into condition for cultivation. Since the signing of the armistice Belgium has put forward every effort to rebuild and intensify its agricultural industries. Assistance in many different ways has been given by the Belgian department of agriculture in order to encourage speedy reconstruction. The total area under cultivation last year was a marked increase over the 1919 area and the number of farm animals has shown large increase.
