In Memory of Harris Conklin. Died Feb. 4. 1908. How sad and lonely is our home Since baby went away, From heaven above we hope To see some day. It was so hard to give him up He was so bright and fair But God in his great wisdow Did a home for him prepare. He is resting now in heaven above In a mansion bright and rare; That Jesus shed his blood and died That we might all live there. One year has quickly passed away Was on a cold February day We followed him to the grave-yard. To lay him beneath the cold clay. Although our hearts are breaking. And our hair may turn to gray We- know if we trust in God We will meet in heaven some day.

Susanna fhadd. Susana Chadd. daughter of Thomas and Cynthia Chadd, was born Mav 12. 1822 in Burbon County, Kentucky. When she was throe monthu old her parents moved to Putnam County, Indiana, and the greater part of her life lias been spent in this count\ and Hendricks County. At the early age of sixteen years she became a member of the Missionary Baptist church at Winchester. Indiana, and had since lived a consistent Christian life, a beautiful example for her family and many friends. On July 27, 1847. she was married to Washack Fit Simmon:' To this union were born eight children: Linnie Ford, Richard. Cynthia Jane, Susan Elizabeth. James Thomas. William M.. Sally Ann and Annias. Six of the children preceded her to the grave but there are left to mourn her demise the husband, daughter, son. daughter-in-law. one grandson, one granddaughter, all living in this vicinity and one brother. Janies Chadd of Hendricks County, together with other relatives and a host of friends. Mrs. Simmons had been an invalid and constant sufferer for more than thirty-five years hut she bore her suffering with a patience and fortitude known only to those who put their trust in Him who doeth all tilings well. She has gone to a well deserved rest leaving a broken home for while we all miss her, it is hardest for the husband, who with her. in sickness and in health, for nearly sixty-three years, has lived n> happily and for the daughter, whose whole life lias been one of loving service for her mother. She was indeed a good wife, a fond mother and a faithful friend. Grandma Simmons as she was familiarly known, fell asleep on January tin, after an illin'ss of three weeks, caused by grip and compli-a-tions. at the age of 8(1 years, s months and 18 days. “Sunset and evening star. And one clear call for me: And may there lie no moaning of the

bar.

When I put out to sea. But such a tide as moaning seems asleep, Too full for sound and foam. When that which drew from out the boundless deep. Turns again home. Twilight and evening bell. And after that the dark! And may there tie no sadness of farewell When I embark: For tlio' from out the bounds of time and (dace The flood may hear me far, I home to see my Pilot face to face When, I have crost the bar.” Funeral was preached by the Rev Martha Runyan at the residence February 1. Interment at Mt. Carmel Cemetery.

The Fanner and the Roll-Top Desk. Last week, writes William Atherton DuPuy, In the February Circle magazine, I met a man who had lived on the farm next to my father’s when we were boys together in the old slipshod days. I was surprised to learn that he was still on the farm, for his air was that of the successful business man knowing thoroughly his relation to the outside world. I talked to him of the affairs of the old farm, and he told me of its transformation. In summing

up, he said:

“We have been driven to business methods, by the new conditions, and now we are blessing the causes that forced us. We have found that the most effective farm implement that we can buy is the roll-top desk. It regulates our crops, indicates those that are profitable, eliminates those that are not, sells to advantage, and is making fortunes for us. It has established itself on the farm, and is there to stay. Those who adopted it first have now added an automobile Those without It are being eliminated from the calculation, for profitable farming these days requires business method of procedure.” Tlio Department of Agriculture is removing the bugaloo from the matter of bookkeeping. It lias devised a single hook that will keep the records of the farm with relation to the outside world and which may he mastered in fifteen minutes. Men in the department started out on the hypothesis that bookkeeping was the merest common sense and could be rid of all its technicalities and complications. The invention of the new system was the result. Professor Spillman urged it on a certain farm or in Missouri in whose operations he was financially interested. The farmer was fifty-three years old, and protested that he was past the age of learning new tricks. The demon strator, however, began copying the records of the farm into the new hook, and the farmer watched, in

A Mecca for Homeseekers

One of Montana's most beautiful agricultural valleys Is now the scene of unusual activity, as hundreds of homeseekers from all parts of the country are going there to take up their new homes. The Sun River Valley, which is located a little west of the center of the State on the eastern slope of the Rocky Mountains and near the city of Great Falls, was selected several years ago by the Reclamation Service as a choice urea for the construction of a stupendous Irrigation work. The work has progressed rapidly and several farms have been thrown open to settlers on very liber-

al terms.

These farms will be obtainable under the homestead law, subject to the charges of actual cost of water upon the number of acres actually supplied with water from the system. This charge has been fixed at $30 per acre, dividing into not less than five nor more than ten annual payments. The sum of $3.50 will he due and payable at the time of making entry. The second instalment will be payable March 1, 1910, thus allowing early settlers nearly two years before second payment is due. In this period any industrious settler can get his land in shape to earn its own repayment of the

charges.

An interesting and unique feature in connection with the project is the proposed establishment of model rural villages every six miles. In all there will he 20 of these, so that no farm will he more than three miles from a postoffice aud school. All the crops which can be grown in northern countries can be raised here. It in probable that the principal crops raised will be alfalfa, sugar beets and potatoes. Usually three cuttings of alfalfa are made annually. Some have cut only two crops, and others have cut four, hut the average is three, and the average yield about five tons per acre. The present price varies from $5 to $15 per ton in the stack, according to location and demand. It is not probable that the average price will drop below $.7 for many years. The cost of putting the hay into the stack is about $1.25 per ton. The average yields per acre are, potatoes. 228 bushels; wheat, 28 bushels; oats, 09 bushels; sugar beets,

20 tons.

All garden truck is easy to raise except tomatoes and some kinds easily affected by frosts, thougli these with care may he grown sufficiently for family use. An ordinary ranch garden about two miles from Simms in 1905 produced a net profit of $225 per aede from the following kinds of vegetables, viz: cabbage, potatoes, toma-

THE CONSUMPTION OF CORN

Ii is surpii-ing to learn the quantity and for what purpose corn Is used. For instance in 1899 the total crop was 2.(itj<i,0tio,000 bushels. Of this crop 2 41,000,000 bushels were consumed in the flour and grain mills, 8.000.000 in manufacture of starch, 9,000.000 for malt liquors, 17.000,000 in distilling liquors, 40,0011,000 for glucose, 190,000,000 for export and 13,000,000 for seed. This accounts for only 19.3 per cent, of the entire crop, most of the remainder being used for feeding purposes. The more one studies the corn crop the more interesting it becomes. Its magnitude as a food giver and labor employer grows with every observation one makes of the corn crop.

cinity have analyzed over 23 per cent sugar. The best industry promises great tilings and a sugar factory is assured upon the completion of the works necessary to irrigate an area large enough to guarantee five year contracts on 5,000 acres of beets. Past experiments prove that the farmer should average a net profit of $4o per acre on sugar beets. It is probable that the Sun River Valley will prove an excellent dairy country. A creamery was completed in Augusta in January 1907, and the three or four others already in operation in neighboring towns show that tlie industry is profitable and will lie permanent and growing.

IT IS BAOLY NEEDED IN TOWN

A committee was appointed Monday night by the Commercial Club to see if the interurban company will furnish a day electric current for Greencastle. A day current is badly needed here by many of the business men and manufacturing concerns. As it is all business men who need power must rely upon steam and gasoline engines. Electric motors, used in most every other town of any size in tlie state, for power, cannot he used here, because the town has no day current. The local company has been asked on many occasions to put on a day current hut have never done so. Harry Smith, Ed Harris and Frank Gilmore were the members appointed to the committee last night to see if the interurban company could not be induced to give Greencastle a day current.
