with the gun. Clark went.Qpt to see Waite and when within* about silt feet of him, Waite shot him in the abdomen instantly killing him. -.• ? -. Waite left the premises going across a field. The sheriff was called and conducted a search of the farm. Waite was not found then, but on the way back to Albion -the sheriff overtook him on the road and asked him to ride. During the ride Waite told the sheriff that he had shot someone but did not know who. He was taken to the jail at once. Waite Smith was with A. E. F. in France and was gassed. His health has been poor ever since so that, since his mother died, he was given the housework to do as he was not strong enough to work in the fields. It Is that his mind has been affected and that temporarily, at least, he was deranged. . . Q BUMPER FRUIT CROPS ' Fruit crops in 1 ’ southern Indi- i ana are in splendid condition at this time, with indications favor-I ing the greatest yields ever ex-' pericnced. according to Harry j Dietz, assistant state emtomologist in the department of con-' servatiop. Mr. Dietz has just returned from an extended trip through the southern part of the 1 -tate, visiting orchards around’ Paoli, Mitchel, Salem and Orleans. Apples, peaches, cherries, - plums, strawberries and black-1 berries were examined by Mr.' Dietz. He reported apple trees, blooming heavily with a crop set*J from all indications. Peaches appeared to be one hundred per- j cent set, he said, in many in- '■ stances the peaches averaging from ten to twenty-five to the foot of limb on well cared for ( trees. It may be necessary to thin oiit some of the trees, according to Mr. Dietz. He added that there was some peach leaf curl, but that was found only t where the trees had not been sprayed. Cherry and plum trees also will bear heavily, the assistant state entomologist said. Strawberries at Borden were in full bloom last week; blackberries and raspberries give promise of heavy bloom in two or three weeks. ' A heavy hail, storm at Mitchel Monday of last week caused but little damage to fruit. The hail caused scarred limbs, but not enough to injure the trees, Mr. Dietz said. He added that in his .

observations he found that insect conditions were not serious at time. Wet weather, however, he added, was favorable for development of “apple scab.” .Jhis condition can be combatted successfully, he declared, by spraying lime sulphur solution gallons to 50 gallons of water and arsenate of lead 1 to 1| gallons to 50 gallons of water. This same solution, he said, would also 'eradicate two of the worst insects —the codling moth and the plum curculio. Frank Wallace, state entomologist, who has just returned from a trip through many states and which ended in California, said he found conditions all over the country apparently ideal for “bumper crops in all fruits. (J— . SMALLPOX IN ELKHART The Elkhart high school was closed last week for a smallpox fumigation when it was learned that Kenneth Brown, a pupil there, had attended school while broken out with the pox. An crder has been issued to the effect that: “All high school pupils not possessing certificates of successful vaccination will be excluded from school for a period of two weeks and those excluded "shall coonsider themselves in quarantine at their homes.” A cigar store and a barber shop have also been closed due to the finding that a clerk in the former and the proprietor of the latter were l afflicted with the disease. o LONG PRISON TERMS Sentences ranging from 30 to 35 years in prison were dealt out last week to four Gary, Ind., 'bank bandits by Judge C.
