H follows:
To be living is sublime.’’ The honored head Of our nation, President Taft, dropped the suggestion over a year ago, that the time was near at hand when the leading nations of the earth should adjust their differences through a Board of Arbitration. It did not create much comment tor discussion at that time. But a short time' ago Mr. Taft indicated that so far as this nation is concerned he believed it ready to take steys to enter into an agreement with the mother country across the sea to settle all differences by arbitration. This time onr president's suggestion met with the hear'y response fifom Sir Edward Gray, from A. J. Balfour, the great leader of the Unionists and from all the prominent statesmen of England. The 17th Annual Conference on International Arbitration has just closed at Lake Mahouk. Representatives from various natiibns were in attendance. Statesmen, Diplomats Educators, Ministers, Business Men and some of whom are the greatest leaders in, this movement were present. At this conference William Jennings Bryan made an eloquent plea for the treaty just as President Taft had offered it to the nation's with no restrictions t)f any sort. Mr. Bryan said it should be offered to all other nations and this sentiment was echoed in every speech.

The services at the Christian church Sunday were of special interest. In the morning the members of the K. of P. lodge were the guests of the church. The chorus under the direction of Mrs. Frank Hays had prepared special music which was greatly enjoyed. The names of the deceased members of the lodge were read, as were also the names of those who were members at its first organization. In the evening the Children's day Ptogram was given. The house was beautifully decorated for the occaa- 1 ion and the great crowd that gath- | ered showed their appreciation of the earnest efforts of the committee to give them an inspiring program I Those who drilled the children and assisted in preparing the even- j ing's program were Mrs. Bartley, i Mrs. Young, Mrs. Vermili/Jn and Miss Susie Hopwood.

HICKS ON JUNE WEATHER.
ARE COMBINED
Farmers have come to learn ti at the only way to prepare the soli is to let the harrow follow the plow as close as possible. In common practice the good farmer plows only so much during the early part of the day as he can harrow before quitting time it night.

Obituary. As the glory of the autumn with •the rpiening of the leaves, Marks the ending of the bravest, and the binding of the sheaves So there seems a fitting likeness in the beauty of the way, That marked the peaceful ending of the life that's passed today; And the waning of that season, with its fruits all bravely won. Blends with the finished life as though the two were one. Mrs. Martha NicMolson Shockley Smyth, daughter of John A. Nicholson, was born March 14, 1820 in Hamilton, county, near North Bend, Ohio. Here she lived until 1839, when she was united in marriage to Isaac Shockley, with whom she took up her home in Middletown, Oh to. To this union was born four sons: J. H. Shockley, of Fillmore; C. N. Shockley, of Indianapolis; George Shockley, of Greencastle, and W. H. Shockley. They all survive her except W. H. Shockley, who died in 18(52. In, the fall of 1830 she, with her husband and three children, moved to Edinburg, ■tohnson county, Indiana, and later to Morgan county, Indiana. She was left a widow in 1854. She has lived in Marion township since 1857, whe n she was united a second time in marriage to Samuel Smyth of Fillmore. To this union was born two sons: Thomas Smyth, of Fillmore, and Ezra Smyth of Greencastle. Both still survive her. Besides her five sons ehe leaves two half sisters and a half brother: Mrs. Eliza Snodgrasa, of Franklin; Mrs Emily Clarke, of Edwards, Indiana; William Nicholson, of Columbus, and many other relatives and frlende In the late autumn of life she has ended her harvest at the advanced age of 91 years, 2 months and 14 days, after an illness tof about three weeks, on May 28, 1911, at 3:25 p. m. She was a woman of activity and lived a life of simplicity, truth and honesty, working for harmony and love instead of place and power. The only idleness she ever knew was that enforced by reason of her extreme age and failing eyesight. Her innate energy Jed to the achievement of what seemed to less energetic v.torkera impossible of achievement by one of her age She was a member of the Fillmore M. E church and had lived a consistent Christian life throughout the years To those who feign would weep, let us trust ing sing with the poet: I cannot say and I will not say That she is dead; she is just away. With a cheery smile and a wave of the hand, She has wandered into an unknown land, * And left us dreaming ht>w very fair it needs must be, since she lingers there. And you, Oh you, who the wildest yearn For the old 'time step and the glad return— Thin.k of her faring on as dear In the love of there as the love of here. Think of her still a s fhe same. I say; She is not dead; she Is Just away.
Harrow and Plow Combined. Manufacturers have devised an attachment to the plow which enables one to plow and harrow as he goes. The harrow is a rotary attachment and can be hitched on to any sulky or gang plow The manufacturers claim that it takes no extra power to operate It, and it does the work of an sxtra team and man, thua saving operating expenses. We are inclined to doubt somewhat, the statement that it requires no extra power, because It seems to us that the rotary harrow wide enough to cover two broad furrows dragged behind the plows would make quite a difference in the work of the team However, as many of these attachments are now being used, particularly In the west, it is quite evident that they are regarded with favor by progressive farmers
WHAT ARE PROTEiN EOODS
No word in agricultural etymology '.a so often encountered a« protein. To a person not versed In farm jhemistry the term is more or less confusing and to many others it has no meaning at all. To such people it is just an empty, technical phrase. The word is most freuently en:ountered in articles on feeding. Protein i« the opposite of fat. It Is about the same as albumen. In feeding we have two principle Masses of foods. One is the carbontceous or starchy foods These go to fat. The other is the protein foods. These go to make milk, eggs and meat. The protein foods are tissue
builders.
In balancing rations we have to see. therefore, that the animal does not get too much of one kind of food, in feeding a cow, for instance, we cannot feed her corn alone as this goes to fat rather than to milk. There is some protein In corn but not snough. On the other hand it would not be advisable to feed a cow food like alfalfa, whose content is practicilly all protein. To begin with fat la ihe principle on which an animal depends for bodily heat and energy. So i cow, for this reason alone, should have corn or other grain or hay in which there is starchy matter. Then, too, she needs some carbonaceous food for the milk as there is conlideraible fat and sugar in milk. If, however, we feed too much protein some of it is bound to go to waste She will use half of It for maintenance. One quarter of It goes to milk From the other quarter her digestive organs extract the fatty principle if there Is any; if not some In held by the system in reserve; the rest passes out of (he system. Of course. In feeding. w« have to be guided some by temperament. Individuality, and other conditions including metabolism Metabolism la the way the food la assimilated, or rather, it refers to the chemical changes that th« food undergoes in the stomach. We can’t say here Is so much corn and depend that it will make Just so much fat or feed ao much protein with the Idea that it will be converted Into an equivalent amount of milk. 8ome of the fatmaking elements may combine with still other elements and be converted into meat while the protein may be converted partly Into fat. These changes, however, occur only when there is such a serious lack of balance In the food, that the well-being of the animal is interferred with In such a case Nature steps in and makes a Herculean effort to correct the mistake in part. She can't make a complete balance but she can save the
animal.
But when we want to put on fat we feed corn or something that carries the same elements When we want to put on solid flesh we feed sklmmilk, legumous grasses like alfaifa or clover and by-products like bran.
Notes of the Sheepfold Sheep do not require much shelter except to keep off the rain. I always put my flock up in falling weather except during the summer when it is hot and the rain is a relief to them. It Is best to leave them out in the coldest weather, except of course at lambing time when they must be
sheltered
Lambs will stand the cold better than any other young animals and there is not much difficulty In saving them if they get full of their mother's
milk once.
A reactionary storm period will bring a decided storm condition on and touching the 9th, 10th, lltb | and 12th. At this period we enter into the June solstice disturbances. Daily thunder storms with an excess of electricltv, wind rain 'ind hall, may be looked for. Toruadon,, ma y 5e i 00 ked for. md your locality may be in their path*. Change to very much cooler will follow i tout the 16th ’o 19U. A reactionary storm period \ V .;i make itself severely felt on and touching the 20th, 21st and :>2nd. A regular storm period -s ceatrnl on the 2Cth, the new moon falMr.g on the same day. AH storms daring the last half of June <vt!l u* erratic in nature—will move in directions out of the ordlnr.ry, often doubling back over their tracks after they have supposedly passed off to the east. tVe believe there will be too much rain in the mon'h of June, for best agricultural Interests, except in New England States, and the extreme southern and southwestern sections. A marked seismic period is central op the 26th, covering the 23rd to tb, 29th. Father Thomas McLaughlin has about completed the arrangements for hi 8 trip to Europe, and will sail from Montreal In about two weeks.

Roscoe Skimmerhorn, the young man to whom Alonzo (took is being prosecuted for selling whiskey, provoked the wrath of Judge Hughes Friday morning and was slven a severe reprimand and threatened with a fine of $25. Skimmerhorn is the prosecuting witness in the case. He was notified to be in circuit court Friday morning at the trial {of the case. When the case came up, Skimmerborn was not to be found. Deputy Sheriff Kelley's strong voice poured out of the windows of the court house in vain. No answer was jnade to the call for Roscoe Skimmerhorn. Kelley went to the young man’s home on east Anderson street and there found him. At first Skimmerhora did not want to come, but after a short conversation with the deputy sheriff, he decided to attend itourt. When Skimmerhorn arrived Judge Hughes told him that it w’ould mean, a jail sentence if he ever again committed a like ac-
tion.
