It is about twice as large as the usual annual report and it works the coal deposits of Indiana to a finish. There are 1,702 pagesinthe work, not counting the index, and of these 1,573 pages are devoted to coal. The other 130 pages are given to the reports of the inspectors of mines and the natural gas supervisor. The natural gas man sings loud and long the doleful song of exravagant waste of the gas and the stealthy but irrisistible incroach meats of the salt water into the gas field. Evidently from his statement the end of natural gas in Indiana is not many years away.

The summer is past and the harvest is ended. Today Sept. 23 is the date this year of the autumnal equinox, the sun‘‘croeaing the line” at 10 minutes after one, this morning. And with the ocourenoe of this equinox the summnr is supposed to en( i and fall begin. The equinox ussally odours on the 21st. or 22nd. but for reasons astronomers could easily explain the sun’s schedule time was a little later than common this year The coal oil excitment is spread ing and soon the whole eastern half of this county will have been covered by oil leases.

The hustlers for a big sugar beet factory at North Judson had got 4,027 acres of the necessary 600 pledged, last week, and it was thought that another months work would be needed to secure the other 2000 acres. The New England Beet Sugar Company agrees to build and operate a half million dollar factory at North Judson when pledges to raise 6000 acres of beets for the factory have been secured from responsible parties. The North Judson News prints the names of those agreeing to rajse beets, from week to week, and we notice every list has some Jasper county citizens; mainly in Kankakee and Wheatfield townships, but some also from Walker, Keener and even Union.
