Indiana Farmer: We note the statement that a funner sowed 250 pounds of salt to the acie the day after the corn was planted on a field that was alive with half-grown cut worms, and not a single hill was cut by the worms. The salt dissolves so quickly and is taken up by the young routs of the crop and thus the sap is salty and distasteful to either cut worms or chinch bugs. The Three I ran an excursion from South Bend to Streater, 111., hist Sunday, on account of a game of ball between the West End Club, of South Bend, and a Streator team. It is estimated that there were about nine hundred people on the excursion. Sixty went from Walkerton. The excursion train left Streator about 6:30 p. in. and arrived hereabout midnight. The game of ball resulted in favor of Streator by a score of 11 to 4. Walkerton lias suffered enough loss by tires in.the last five years to build a »ood system of waterworks, and yet | many people will argue that we can't ' afford to have waterworks. But we

can afford to continue on without 1 waterworks and have lire after lire, can | we? Doesn't it strike you that that 1 kind of economy is as false as it can be? 1> >n’t you believe that the wisest 1 and cheapest thing that Walkerton could do would be t>> put in waterI wOl ks ?

1 io- i ■ >ple oi South Bend are very much displeased, and not without reason, over the plans proposed by the I government for the new postolliee building in that city. The design for the new building provides for a structure imt to cost nmre than $15,000 I perhaps, and it is claimed that this would furnish no better facilities than | the present building, which is inadequate to meet the increasing volume iol pod al business of the city. South ’ Bend's importance as a city and manui facturing center certainly demands a I larger ami bet ter govern meat building I than the one prop> ;.
