Carving May Be Honored With Shrine

A special shrine or chapel may be constructed to house the exquisitely carved head of Christ sculptured in 1895 on the concave pod" of a Florida bean by a man then awaiting execution in a Guatemalan prison. This was made known recently by Mrs. H. Willis McFadden, custodian of the relic, and Mrs. Oliver Harriman, who, with Mrs. McFadden, is seeking means of making appropriate provision for the preservation of the condemned man's work of art. Whether the edifice erected, if such a move is undertaken, will be financed by private funds or public subscription has not yet been determined. A committee of clergymen of various denominations, several of whom viewed the relic, will decide this question. The carving is the work of an unknown native of Guatemala, who made it in prison in 1895, carving it in re lief on the concave pod of a Florida bean, and who passed it to his jailer as he was led to execution, as his "last message" to his family. Not only is the man who made it unidentified, but those who have seen the carving have wondered how he could have done it, as prisoners under Second 4 S7.00 First 4 1-4 87.70 Second 4 1-4 87.02 Third 4 1-4 90.16 Fourth 4 1-4 87.12 Victory 3 3-4 97.54 J ViULUI.V, 1 O-t Jl.Jt NEW YORK STOCKS (By Associated Press.)

CHURCH DISPUTE ENDS IN FRACAS; NEGROES HELD IN CITY JAIL , ., ... , . , . Cutlery glistened brilliantly in the sunshine Sunday morning at the Sec ond Baptist church (colored). 1322 North G street, when the question of nnstinar Rnhv Mitehpll. snnerintendent of the Sunday school, precipitated a general fight between Bee Smith, a deacon in the church, and a candidate for the head of the school, and members of the Mitchell family. Frank Mitchell is in a serious conditon at Reid Memorial hospital, being partially disemboweled by Deacon Smith who wielded a pocket knife with deadly effect in defending himself. Deacon Smith and Tod Mitchell, another brother of Ruby Mitchell, were lodged in jail by Chief of Police Wenger who was called to quiet the melee. According to the pastor of the i church and other members who saw ui ivu8S ;viucueu iruiu uie supsriuieuuency of the Sunday school had been seconded by Deacon Smith. Miss Mitchell became incensed at the seeming reflection on her ability and called her brothers. Smith was called from the church and attacked on the church steps, being borne to the ground, kicked and pummelled. He got to his feet, grabbed his pocket knife and cut Frank Michell across the stomach. Efforts to quell the disturbance by members of the church ended in a general melee. Indiscriminate blows were showered and several suffered bruises, according to on-lookers. Charges of disturbing a religious gathering probably will be filed against members of the Mitchell family, according to Rev. Mays, pastor of' the church. No affidavits had been 1 filed against Smith today.

The Farm and The Farmer By William R. Sanborn

Comparatively little nlowine was done last week, although farmers made J the best of every shining hour when the ground was in condition. We met a few farmers in town early on Saturday who said they wouM be back home at the plow handles during the afternoon, when they expected to be able ' to plow, except in the bottoms. And this also is the condition in ! Lnion county. The county federation officials met at Liberty on Saturday afternoon to consider business matters and it developed that many farmers were present because they had brought in a load of famine relief corn, or because they could not get into the fields. With reference to the gift corn it is expected that the first car will be shipped on Monday ni'ht or on Tuesday. As to the shipment-of a second car that will depend upon circumstances. The farmers of Liberty and Harmony townships. Union county, are to neet at the Dunlapsville church on Wednesday evening, April 6. An enjoyable occasion is anticipated. Home Market Pays Best. If you have noted the prices paid for corn and oats at Wayne county farm ales, you have observed that the farmers have bean consistently bidding above the wholesale market figures. Plenty of corn has been sold on the farms of Wayne, Preble, Randolph, j Henry and Union counties since last j October at good premiums over what i the same grade of corn would have the buyers being neigr.hors who take .:i,K;m . .. . the flvailahiiit v of the com and the j distance of the haul into account. The local competition for the offering, and Ihe hesitation to depress the price of a product already selling below cost of production, also figures in the transaction. Ruyers usually want to give the neighbors the squarest possible ! deal. Fruit Crop Prospects Opinions differ as to how great the damage to peach trees by the recent frosts, and this also applies to apri receive reports from tnose having these fruits on the place, and to learn of the outlook for apples wherever that can now be indicated. Fruits and berries are important crops for home use and look mighty attractive in glass when the snow is flying, or at any time. Drop us a postal on this subject; we shall appreciate it As a matter of fact this column is open to farmers at all times, so, if you have anything of interest to say, say it. Lake Fruit Rates Lowered A number of lake carriers have announced cuts of ten to twenty per cent in freights on fruits, berries and vegetables reaching Chicago from lake ports in Michigan and Wisconsin. The Michigan Transit company has made a flat reduction of twenty per cent to go into effect as soon as navagation opens and this is expected to bring Michigan potatoes into Chicago in quantity. Potatoes Are Cheap Speaking of potatoes, the prices at large consuming centers are so low this spring, and the freight rates so marketed. This is also true, possibly, of a few stocks in Minnesota and northern Wisconsin, although shippers are hoping to still be able to unload, without a heavy loss. Potatoes are about $5 per bushel under the prices charged last April and May, In a retail way. Plenty of good potatoes have been sold at 60 to 75 cents per bushel in western cities, in a wholesale way, of late. Will Farmers Sell Grain We have now reached the last quarter of the wheat crop year and as all the large markets are comparatively bare of supplies, the question now is, will farmers sell? Will they continue . , . , ' ,, to market on conservative lines, as ! n - nnmnV RllOlirO , II A KKrKK Y KIISHrN ! Ufll IUU II I I UUUIII.W FOUND IN INDIANA (Bv Associated Press) LAFAYETTE, Ind., April 4. More than 3 500 common barberry bushes have been located in Indiana and removed since the campaign has been waged against them during the last two years, according to R. J. Hosmer of the botany staff of Purdue university, who now is conducting this work in Indiana. The botanists have proven that the common barberry bush harbors the black stem rust of wheat spores and is responsible to a large extent for the prevalence of this disease in certain parts of the state. Plants infected with this disease were found in Porter, LaPorte, Lake, St. Joseph, Lagrange, Noble, Allen, Jay, Henry, Wayne. Franklin, Vander burgh, Knox and Tippecanoe counties i in all of these sections the wheat had become infected by spores which had been grown from the infected barberry plants. A number of wild plantings were found in various counties and many of these also were Infected. To discuss the progress of the camj paign in this and several other states, a meeting of the state leaders in charge of these campaigns will be held at Purdue, April 8 and 9. Michl gan, Illinois and Ohio will be represented with the Indiana men and plans will be worked out for a continuation of the campaign especially in the rural di districts during the coming year.

LET A BIT OF DO LUCK '

OUT

for months Dast? In diseussine this the Grain Dealers' Advisory Bureau says : "Their position for the present is a dominating one in view of the fact that most of the terminal markets are bare of supplies. It will be an important factor in the situation and must be watrhed closely. We are not inclined to1 look for any precipitate selling. Producers have succeed ed thus far in preventing large accumulations of wheat at primary points and they will likely continue along this program." Rich Potassium Shale The discovery of shale in Illinois by the University of Illinois, which may prove a cheap source of potassium for agricultural purposes, and rich enough to increase the yield of certain crops grown on peaty soil as much as 180 per cent, is announced. Tests have been in progress since 1915 to find a source of potassium. "Tflis work of the university may be worth untold wealth to the state." said President Kinley in making the announcement. The experiments carried on under greenhouse control indicate marked benefit to crops, resulting from applications of the shale. The shale produced an Increase in the yield of sweet clover of 169 per cent; of rape, 96 per cent; of corn fodder, 146 per cent and of buckwheat, 180 per cent. The above results were obtained on peaty soil in pot-culture work. Low Wheat Prices Check Quotations PORTLAND. Ore., April 4.
