1 If ltir- nniii.w AnMnAt TfAlHtUUUimUKUrV r HELPED BY THE RAINS; I. STORM IS GENERAL f: Many thousands of dollars have been added to corn crops In Wayne land adjoining counties by the recent liberal rains, according to statement of fanners and crop experts. Some " damage -was done by high tads, and ; the rains were spotted in some coun- : ties, flooding fields in some sections -while only light showers fell at other points, but as a whole, immense bene- ; fit -was received from the rainfall. I Corn had begun to fire In Henry ' county and much more serious damage -was prevented by the timely rain. I Tomatoes and late potatoes had suffered, and pastures had dried up. All parts of the county "were well soak- ', ed," say reports from there, while l tber rains heretofore had been local ' only. Rains East and South. Severe drought was relieved In Fayl ette county by the drenching of Wednesday and Thursday. The central part of the county did not receive such heavy precipitation as the Bections east and south. Clover fields and pasture are showing green again since the rain. In Rush county a general rain relieved many farmers who were seri ously discouraged by corn prospects. Much damage had been done already, and the yield materially reduced, but the rain will be of great benefit. The dry spell has been general all over . the county. Shelby county, which holds the reputation of being the best corn county in the state, had .41 Inches of rain In the city of Shelbyville and more gen erous rainfall at other points, on Thursday afternoon, and a general rain on Friday morning. Peter Lux, well known as state corn jrrowini? champion, stated that one more rain like the one that has already fallen, will save the crop. Rain was heavier In the east than in the west part of the 'county. The Thursday rain was heaviest In the north and south ends of the county, central . parts not getting enough to lay the ! dust. The rain was more general on Friday. Wind, Lightning, Damage Some damage was done by wind and lightning in a few counties but reports all discounted damage for tho accompanying benefits. In Wayne and Randolph counties, from Bethel north Into Randolph county much corn was knocked down, farmers estimating as high as 50 per cent damage Some corn was laid down In other parts of Wayne county, but not so badly as at Bethel. A valuable barn west of Chester was struck by lighti ning and burned, but loss was covered by Insurance. In Henry county a barn northwest of Newcastle and one north of Shirley were burned, while the residence of Thomas Shelley north of Newcastle, was struck by lightning and some, thinglea and weatherboarding torn off. Corn was flattened west and south of Mlddletown, and trees blown down or branches torn off. The tents erected for the fair were all torn loose. Lightning .struck a church steeple In Shelby county, but did little damage.

FRIENDS DISCONTINUE SENDING OF WORKERS ABROAD FOR PRESENT Theo Foxworthy, of Splceland, has been appointed a member-at-large of the American Friends board of foreign missions, and also a member of he executive committee of that board. B. Willis Beede, who is to assume ths duties of general secretary of the board when Ross A. Hadley, present secretary, takes a year's leave, beginning about the middle of next month has been appointed representative from the board to the council of religious education. Reports given at a meeting of the executive committee of the board, show that foreign mission receipts for the month of June have been such as to lessen the deficit in the budget. Because of the present financial embarrassment of the board, missionaries whose furloughs have ended, or who were to be sent Into the mission field, will not be sent at present To Cut-Down Expenses. Ross Hadley, general secretary of the board, said Saturday that mission, aries on the field, and those now ready for a furlough have offered to take decreases in their salaries In order that the board might continue unhindered its mission work. The board has felt, however, according to Mr. Hadley, that the best plan is to re duce mission field expenses as much as possible and send no more missionaries to the foreign field at this time. Raymond Holding, who has been away from the mission field for some months, will not be sent back to the field now. It is probable he will do pastoral work in the west. Jefferson D. Ford, returned missionary from Africa, is to remain in this country, and Arthur Chilson, who recently returned from Africa, is to attend North. Carolina yearly meeting, and return in time to give the principal missionary address at Indiana yearly meeting, Aug. 8 to 13. BLACK SOX ARRANGE .BARNSTORMING TOUR AS CASUS ARGUED (By Associated Press) CHICAGO. July 30. Plans for a "Barnstorming tour" by former White Sox players charged with conspiracy to throw the 1919 world series were being made today as Edward Prindizille addressed the jury In the prose cution's final argument in the base ball trial. The players elected Eddie Cicotte, captain of the, team, anl began work on an itinerary which would include most of the larger cities of the country. Weaver was the only player on trial who refused to consider the tour. Weaver has refused to play ball with anyone since his indictment. The players who expected to make the trip are: Cicotte, Jackson, Wil liams, Gandil, Risberg and Felsch. Mr. Prindizille's statement dealt largely with the technicalities of the law on conspiracy. While maintaining that the defendants threw the 1919 series, he pointed out that it was necessary for the state to prove only that they had conspired to throw the games. "Whether the series actually was thrown has nothing to do with the case." he said. After the argument was finished court adjourned until Monday when Henry A. Berger of the defense will speak.

RICHMOND PALLADIUM AND

USE COMMON SENSE IN OBEYING SIGNS, SAYS AUTO PRESIDENT The sign "wet paint" is pretty sure to cause the beholder to stick his or her fingers on the painted object Does the sign "Danger" or "Dangerous Crossing" have the same psychological AfP rm ontnTnnhilfl A tH rar, f fnmHrftl A. G. Lupton, president of the Hoosler state Automooiie association, in a bulletin Issued this week. "It ieems that no matter how big a danger sign may be erected at a bad intersection or a deadly railroad crossire. or how man v death -head A tariff a. or stop-look-listen warnings, the grade crossings continue to claim their deadly toll in increasing numbers. And Intersection collisions rnntlnne inn spite warnings of blind corners, which snouia require caution or anyone who thinks. "Our association la not fiminiMxl an that we can erect danger signs everywhere. Our money comes from our membershlD fees. Thosft xehn mntnT and are not members are not doing anything to assist us,-meanwhile enjoying some of the advantages of our work. We very much doubt if it would De possiDie to erect signs at the danger spots in the state under an expense of 115,000 or $20,000. I sometimes wonder if the people, who continually write us saying xne state auto association should do thus and so know where th state auto association could raise that i&,uuu ox szo.000 for danger signs and other warnings. Urg Co-operation. "There are nerhaDs sso.flon nntn. mobile owners in the state for whom we are doine something nil tho time if not in any other way we are obtaining protective legislation that is saving them tens or even hundreds of dollars annually. A fraction of this nnmhp of auto owners recognizes the value of our worK to tne extent of paying annual dues which amount to less than $1 per month and from this comparatively meagre source of revenue we carry on our activities. "One of these handicaps Is that smart alex folk seem to take a delight in tearing down our warning signs and in removing and destroying our detour direction signs. From many sections of the state come complaints of this and we are helpless to remedy the Situation. We Would like to annual in all motorists to be fair with us because we are working for their good. we wouia ne glad to pay a nice little reward for information leading t h arrest of persons who deliberately de-t-u-uy or remove tnese highly necessary signs and direction Indira erected by our organization. The fact mat tnese are safety signals should cause the miscreants in skull duggerv. Imagine what would nappen ir someone would remove a red light from an important railroad switch. Our dancer sieua are almost equally important and should not only ue lesyeciea as sucn Dut should be taken as meaning what they say and the auto driver, if he is in hi3 right mind, should heed." RURAL MARKET PLAN CONSIDERED AUG, 15 Discussion of the rural marketing plan devised by the secretary-manager of the Chamber of Commerce, will take place between a government representatnve from the postofflce department and the local secretarymanager before Aug. 15, according to a letter received at the Chamber of Commerce, from Washington. About July 1, the secretary-manager submitted a plan to the postmaster general, providing lor the direct marketing of rural produce through postoffices in communities of 15,000 or more population. Favorable regard for the proposition was expressed several days later by the postmaster general through his secretary. The letter Indicated that a postoffice representative would confer with the secretary-manager and others interested, a iittie later. The plan submitted would permit the farmer to call the postoffice nearest him at Btated intervals each day, and list the kind, price and quantity of produce he had for sale. These facts would be chalked upon a blackboard in the postoffice lobby for the Information of the public. Orders for quantities of produce would be made by the consumer directly to the producer. It is .pointed out that this would greatly Increase the parcel post business of the postoffice, as well as bring producer and consumer closer together.

LOCAL BOYS ENJOY STAY AT CAMP KERN UNDER T AUSPICES Boys at the Y camp are having a wonderful time, according to word received here from a number of the campers. Ft. Ancient seems to be an i ideal camping spot according to one boywho describes the camp in a letter received Saturday. Following is a letter describing the camp : j Camp Kern is certainly a wonderful place. We are having a fine time. So far as I know no one has been homesick. There are six lodges in which we sleep. The Yukis, Mohican, Choctaw, Kiawa, Catawba and Apache lodges. Each has twelve bunks, some have more. We have camp-fire each night. When It rains we have it in the fireplace, at the council house. At these comp-fires we have programs sometimes plays, sometimes stories or anything of interest. We have a camp magazine. It's really not a magazine, because instead of us buying it, it is read to us J at camp-fire. The council house is a large building in which we eat dinner, play, and sometimes have camp-fire. There is a wide porch on all sides; on one side it is screened in and here we eat. Each lodge has its own table. In the main room, in the council house, there is a victrola and other amusements. Fort Ancient is a short distance down the road and here some of the boys go and buy pop and "cokes". The old fort is up on the bluff. Some people have the idea that the fort was built of brick, like the fort at Mackinac or other places, but this is not true. It is constructed entirely of Indian mounds. These mounds were built by the mound builders, away back before Columbus discovered America. There are jnany of them. Arrow heads are found here by the dozens. Workmen have excavated skeletons, tomahawks, weapons of all sorts, shapes and sizes. The river flows right by camp and we swim three times a day. I must close now. Yours truly, Northrop Elmer.

SAYS OBSCURE NAMES MAY FLASH-ACROSS HEAVENS IN HISTORY! "Though you are an obscure worker, he not discouraged. Though your work may be buried, the contribution that you make in your humble way has its part in the great plan of the universe," was the plea Friday of Rev. Willard Trueblood, pastor of the First Friends r.hnwk nt Tnrilannnnlia when he addressed the conference of Young UTiends at Earlham college. The Rev. Trueblood's appeal was for the young Friends not to undervalue the niche they may occupy in the world. The combined results of what may appear mediocre to the average person form the finished article. . "The obscure workers of the world, doing their Father's will, fit Into the great temple of work when finished. Much of the world's work and Divine plan has been wrought by those who at the time were obscure. It'B no indication that the name of a man now foremost in print will appear in history. The man's name in the corner of the paper, or the name of a man which does not appear at all, yet may come to stand out in history. Tribute to Obscurity. "When Eli Fry organized prison work in England it was obscure, but the past two centuries of history have made prison reform very popular. When William Tuke in 1700 builded the first building for the organized care of insane, it was an obscure work, but the years have revealed his wisdom and skill. The present institutions pay tribute to the obscure worker in the mountains. "Dreams of peace on earth and good will among men, which have been part of the ideals of the church from the beginning have at times been thought visionary and improbable of achievement, but through the years these ideals has been followed as faithfully as the mariner follows the north star. "Now that which , has been worked out in loneliness and frequent suffering is coming to be recognized as the foremost international 1 KKlia Tt t2 in this task that as Young Friends we are called. The obscurity of th fild in which we work has little to do, but the sincerity and intesrritv which we PUt Into the task.

PICRIC ACID ALLOTED FARMERS OF INDIANA FOR CLEARING LAND The department of agriculture has alloted 24,000 pounds of picric acid to Indiana for distribution' among farmers of the state for use in land clearing, it is announced by the Federated Marketing Service at Indianapolis, which has direction of the sale of the acid in the state. The acid, is made up in six ounce cartridges, which are just as powerful as the usual dynamite cartridges of eight ounce size. .These cartridges are packed in wooden boxes, 100 pounds of acid to the box. Small Demand After War. Picric acid was manufactured in quantity during the war, and used in munitions. The signing of the armistice made necessary the disposal of stocks on hand. The war department in its salvaging operations at first considered sinking the acid tn the ocean on account of the small(demand for it but finally decided to make it available for use in land clearing. The allotments for Indiana, Ohio, and Illinois are 24,000 pounds each, Indiana having- 200,000 pounds of cut over lands. More Durable Than Dynamite. The acid is not affected by cold as is dynamite, a cartridge which had been Held m a mixture of salt and ice for 6ix hours exploding as easily and with as much force as any other. It is harder to explode, needing No. 8 caps insteal of the No. 6 detonators used for dynamite. It is not so sensitive as dynamite to shock nor to friction, and though hard to ignite, will burn in small quantities without ex ploding. Picric acid also is free from toxic enects, and does not cause headaches or other ill effects as dynamite does. The county agent of Wayne county has received notice from the marketing service at Indianapolis that the acid is available for sale ot any counties which wish it for blowing stumps or blasting rocks. On account of being war materal which the government is unloading, it is cheaper than other explosives and cheaper than it would be ordinarily. Its manufacture is too ex pensive to make an economical torn mercial explosive.

ITCH FOR BIG MONEY LEADS MEN ASTRAY, SAYS FRIEND LEADER "The itch for the best paying job leads more men astray in choosing a life work than any other temptation," was the declaration of Frederick J. Libby. in his closing address at tho Young Friends conference, Saturday morning. "A man has a right to a living, whatever it goes Into. But you will be happier with a crust of bread in the work God gave you to do than you would be feasting in disobedience to His will. "The natural mechanic who Tips turned aside from his God-given calling because he can make more money selling soap and hardware, or the farmer who is eating his heart out over a desk bec&uHA his wf thinirs

! it is more respectable to be a pooi lawyer man a good farmer, is missing out in life. "'Seek first the Kingdom of God.' is the only principle that I know of for sure guidance In the choice of a life work. 'Lord, what wilt thou hav.3 me to do?' with the emphasis on thou.' An open mind is the only essential in finding out God's will to: you. He is an anxious to tell you where you belong as you are to know. He cannot tell you until you are ready to listen. 'Ask, seek, knock.' Then wait! Wait a month! Wait a year! Wait until He tells you. . Conceit is Enemy "Conceit Js. the deadly enemy of good service in the Kingdom of God. Conceited ions of God are a contradiction in, terms. The first condition uiBvicBuiy ana me aDiamg one is humility. "One of the most shameful aspect? of the Society of Friends is the slump in its missionary activity. This is duo not to the short-comings of the rich, but to the slothfulness of the comfortably well to do. They shirk, and in consequence our foreign work is languishing in a way that must make our Master weep. It is not because you are doing too much for Europe. It is because you lack Interest in the work of Christ's Kingdom. "If the young Friends go home from this conference to put their enthusiajm and their vision at the serviceof the church, our missionaries who are being kept at home will be able to" go back where they belong. At tho same time, the great service that is being rendered to the destitute children of Europe will go on with increased vigor, The means are not lacking in our Society; it is the spiri; that is lacking." , "The vision of a world in which men shall have substituted reason for force in settlement of their disputes must not leave you during the years that lie immediately before you.
