" * The Walkertom and Knox baseball boys went to Bremen Thursday to play the club at that place but were compelled ? to postpone the game until Friday on account of the rainy weather. The thin last Sunday bringing about the favorable conditions for mushrooms on Monday morning, the ‘-boys’’ turned out in great numbers to the woods to it&t them. There were probably about a dozen boys to every mushroom. The ladies of the Diamond Garment Cutting School gave a reception last Friday evening in honor of Prof. L. J. I Snow, of Michigan City, A. H.

It is usually a good idea to begin getting things in motion for a 4th of July celebration at an early date. The question of holding a celebration in Walkerton is already being discussed casually, and if we are to let the old bird loose in Walkerton this year it might be a good thing to commence talking it up now. — Indiana state crop reports show the condition of winter wheat to be not over 40 to 50 per cent, of that of normal years. Condition of growing grain has vastly improved in past ten days, but the acreage has so decreased by plowing up sown fields already killed or damaged that the aggregate produced will be far below the average. A diepatch from Ligonier says the wheat pest, which has been working great havoc in Southern Indiana, has made its appearance in the northern counties and threatens great damage to the crop. It is a very small worm which does its deadly work by boring' holes in the roots of the plant, and is said by farmers to work greater destruction than the chinch bug or Hessian fly. Many farmers in this county will raise I sugar beets this year as an experiment, I hoping to create a market for them. I There is nothing lost in raising the su gar beet, as they are good for table use or for feeding stock. This county seems j to be in the sugar beet belt, and as the raising of this product is a coming industry the farmers are taking consider able interest in the matter. The ball game announced to take place at Knox last Sunday between the Walkerton and Knox club and the Bre men boys was cut short in the first half of the fourth inning by a rain storm. The game was held at the fair grounds.

The score was 1 to 1, and the boys were putting up a fine game when the rain । drove them from the diamond.

A stalker” in the South Bend Times says: “The forge that Clem Studebaker worked at is being torn down with the old building.

If you receive a letter and market report from a New York firm asking you to invest in the market you'd better in vestigate the matter before you send on any cash, for a swindler is said to be reaping a harvest here in Indiana by just such work. Os course, the market “goes off” just as your money is placed, j and you lose and are requested to send I another draft to pay the margin. Your money never goes on the exchange, but finds its way into the firm’s pocket, and you have simply been the victim of mis placed confidence.

Auburn Courier Tin charge on which Dunlop, of the Chicago Dispatch was sent to the penitentiary, was for admit ( ting obscene advertisements but the real ! trouble seems to have been that of levy ' ing black mail. He would find out a scandal on some wealthy man, then put ; it in type with big headlines, then take j the proof sheet to the one who was shown up in the article, and scare him ( into paying a sum of money for supres i sing it. Frank Krakovicz. of this place, is i thinking < f bringing suit aga met the National Capital Life iiwwMti"». of Washington, D. in which insist imn his mother, who died several monthsago, was insured for SI,OOO. She took out n , policy in the People's Mutual Benefit (society, of Elkhart, Ind., almut four ( years ago. Last May this company was 1 j consolidated with the National Lifeasso ‘ ciation, of Washington, D. (’..and the ( Industrial Benefit association, of Syra t cuse, N. I A circular was issued at the i time stating that the consolidated con , corn would assume the old policies with ; some slight change. The company after dillydallying along for several months now offers to settle with Krak . ovicz for S3O, seeming to ignore the ' conditions of the policy as previously made with the Elkhart concern. The policy calls for SI,OOO at the death of the insured and as all the conditions stipu lated in the policy werecomplied with by Mrs. Krakovicz during her life and by her son since her death it certainly looks as though this company were trying to evade its honest obligations. Complaints similar to that of Krakovicz are being , made against this concern in other parts of the country. For any information you desire call on : agents I. I. A I. railroad. Poor Blood is starved blood. It shows itself in pale cheeks, white lips, weak digestion, no appetite, exhaustion, lack of nerve force, soft muscles, and, chief of all, weak muscles. Your doctor calls it Anaemia. He will tell you that the weakening weather of suni--1 mer often brings it on.
