OCTOBER CROP REPORT SHOWS INCREASE BY THE CO-OI’EHATnE KEI’ORTING SEin ICE FOK INDIANA. The outstanding features of the monthly report of the co-opfr;i:ive crop reporting service for Indiana, issued Oct. 9, is another increase tn the forecast for corn production of approximately 8,000,000 bushels over the September report, and the yield of oats per acre, which is the highest for many years, 41 bushels. Practically all other crops show an increase in production over the September forecast. The report follows: Weather conditions during Septenih"'* were almost ideal for fiiflshmg and maturing the corn crop and an increase of 4 points is shown over last month’s condition figure which brings it to 93 percent of normal. This figure indicates a total production of 192,405,000 bushels compared with 184,130,000 bushels last : month and 175,750,000 bushels last year. With continued favorable I weather until October 15th practical- | ly all the corn will be out o£ the way ( of frost damage, alhough the heavy frost on the morning of October 2nd injured some fields. Considerable of the crop has been out and silo filling is general in all sections of the state. Corn is down badly in some localities and is interfering' with wheat and rye seeding to some extent. Now is a good time for the selection of seed corn and farmers should • give this matter immediate attention The average yield of spring wheat was 2 bushels higher than for winter wheat and indicates a total production of 42,000 bushels compared with 47.000 bushels shown for September and 228,000 bushels for last year. Sixty percent of the wheat produced in the state was marketed by’ October 1. On this basis Indiana farm- • ers have suffered a loss of approximately $7,500,000 since the crop movement started the latter part of July. The average yield of oats per acre was 41 bushels, the highest for many years, and a total production of 78,342,000 bushels is indicated, compared with 75,076,000 bushels last month and 69,471.000 bushels last ; year. Generally’ the quality is exceptionally good, especially is this true ' of the early’ sown crop. Barley did not thrash out as well as indicated by earlier figures. The average yield per acre being only 2 7 I bushels. From these figures a total ' production of 1,512,000 bushels is 1 indicated compared with 1,656,000 bushels last month and 1.430,000 ! bushels last year. Buckwheat shows an increase of 1 1 point for the month and is 89 per < cent of normal, which indicates a tot- 1 al production of 261,000 bushels 1 compared with 252,000 bushels shown for last month and 231,000 1 bushels last year. White potatoes made gains in some s sections, but lost in others, with the ! crop good in some places and poor in others. The condition October 1 was 81 percent of normal and indicates a total production of 8,602,000 bushels compared with 8,383,000 bushels last month and 4,400,000 bushels last year. 1 Sweet potatoes made a slight gain i in all sections. The condition Octo- < ber 1 being 88 percent of normal, indicating a total production of 362.- i 000 bushels compared with 350,000 bushels last month and 315,000 bushels last year. ; Weather conuitions were very favorable for the tobacco crop, but the total indicated production is not as large as last month. The condition figure October 1 was 92 percent of normal and indicates a total production of 17.456.000 pounds compared with 17,957,000 pounds last month and 15.215.000 pounds last year. The special inquiry regarding I acres in field crops in 1920, compared with 1919. shows a reduction of [ only 2 percent for the state. The condition of clover seed Is I very spotted. Mammoth and Big Eng- I lish varieties being much better than I the others. The condition October 1 was 83 percent of normal and indicates a total production of 174,000 bushels compared with 75,000 bushels last year. The apple condition improved in ; the north part of the state, and I storms did some damage in the south part. The total indicated production ; October 1 amounts to 6,243,000 I bushels, and the total indicated pro- ! duftion of pears October 1 amounts i to 656,000 bushels. The condition of grapes remains the same as last month, 92 percent of normal. rWERTY TOWNSHIP EPISODE Mr. Farmer al Alfa-Mint Corner ! received $6 for six ordinary pumpkins a week or so ago. The patty | that got them would rather have paid the current price for them but | he happened to have them in his automobile when Mr Farmer got to him. Os course, the parly fell abashed , wh» n discovered ami so asked Mr. [ Farmer how much he warned for the pumpkins. Mr. Farmer promptly j •old him that since he stub tin in he would demand $1 apiece.

Mrs. ।Ben Jacksoil of Union township and !Mrs. Paul Graw of Wellsboro; his i mother and father and brother Lew having preceded him in death. Grover Kneisley was married to Agnes Shrader Feb. 23, 1910, to which union was born two children, Harriet. 10 years of age and Jacob (eight years. While living on a farm near Willvale, LaPorte county, several years ago, he was converted and gave his heart to Christ, and becajne an active worker in the Sunday school and joined the church; he was called to the colors early' in the World War, serving in France in the 118th Entgineering Corps, Co. D., and returnling home from the service about 'eight months after the armistice was | signed. Two days before his death he fell from a tree, sustaining the fatal injuries; ho Was hurried to the hospital in LaPorte where all that medical aid could do was done in the effort to save his life. In his death, the family loses a kind, tender, father and husband, the other relatives and neighbors a genial, cheery friend, and the nation one of its brave defenders.

Brief Story of “The City of Purple Dreams.” A young man of splendid health, excellent appearance, education and mental equipment above the average, starts life by following the lines of least resistance; he becomes a groveller instead of a climber. Sinking lower and lower, it would be an aspersion upon the cult hobo to say that he became a tramp. Indeed, he was something worse—a bum in all that the term implies. Finally the spark of manhood gleams fitfully, breathed upon as is usual by a woman, and he commences the painful process of rehabilitation. His conversion is not sudden nor does his reformation come all at once. He goes fairly over the back track, proceeding through lessening grades of degradation and criminality. After a long and arduous battle he emerges seared but cleansed. During the upW’ard course he encounters experiences and adventigigs completely out of the ordinary, rtW the least of which concerns his connection with the anarchists. This phase throw’s a mighty interesting light on the entire subject of radicalism. Written vividly and powerfully, the chapters tense and interest-compelling. Will appear serially in the Independent.

PRODUCERS UNION DAIRY CO. PLANI A GROWING AND I’HOSIT.IIOO INDUSTRI Y OF LAKEVILLE. A striking example of what can Li accomplished through the foresight and co-operation of a few public [spirited business men is the Producers Union Dairy Co. plain at Lakeville. Starling in a small way only a few years ago, the business has : grown to most satisfactory propor[tions. Since last. January the plant has manufactured 150.000 pounds of ■cheese, of which 80,000 pounds have "been sold, this output of cheese alone (being twice as much as all other (cheese producing plants in Indiana. It is needless to say that the cheese is of fine quality and meeting with fast increasing demand. In addition to the above the plant produces large amounts of creamery butter, cottage choose, etc. A large poultry department in connection also does a big business. The chickens are bought by the company and are fed for ten days upon crushed grain, then dressed and consigned to the city markets. A twenty acre hog farm is an important side feature of the business. The company is now doing a business of $250,000 a year. A large and fully equipped modern refrigerating plant, installed several months ago, is an important adjunct to the plant, affording the abundant storage facilities necessary in so large a concern. The encouragement to the dairyinterests of the surrounding country is already apparent in the increased prosperity of the community and J. R. Steele, A. A. Watkins and the others. who are among the most active ones in the promotion of this important industry, are to be credited upon their good management and executive ability in nutting the Producers Union Dairy Co.’s plant to the front among the St. Joseph county industries. Stinging The Public On Coah The chairman of the newly-organ-ized Indiana coal commission announces that “official reports turned into the commission by inspectors reveal that coal sold at an Indiana mine for $3.50 a ton was being retailed in an Indiana city for $12.50 a ton. Further investigation brought to light that two cars of coal had been set on the rails in this particular city from the same mine on the same day. One car purchased by a retailer directly’ from the mine for $3.50 a ton and this dealer was selling the coal for $8 a ton. The other dealer purchased his car from a jobber for $7.50 a ton and was selling it for $12.50 a ton. Deducting the freight charges, the jobber in this instance made nearly 100 per cent profit. As a result of the activity of the wholesaler, the public buying coal from one dealer was forced to pay $4.50 a ton more than the top price being asked by the dealer buying direct from the mine.” Local Notes Only 10 days until election day. We’ll all be glad when it is over with. The band boys are reorganizing. We have plenty of good musical talent and a band is needed in the town. Mrs. T. A. Frater went to Martinsville, Ind..

The Argos team defeated the Walkerton Greys on the former’s grounds in a close and well played contest last Sunday. This is the second game Argos has won from Walkerton this season. The game was fairly and squarely played and Walkerton is offering no alibi. Both teams were “loaded” for the occasion. It was a fast game and the big crowd in attendance was well satisfied. Harness and Porter formed the battery for Walkerton, while Mansfield and Rotheizer served in the same capacity for Argos. Both batteries were well charged with lightning and their support was just about as fast. Wertz, second baseman for Walkerton. hurt his knee while putting out a man at second and had to retire for the rest of the game. Claffey, shoi|i-stop for Walkerton, did some remarkably fast playing, this being out-of the features of th< game. Several auLqtnobile loads of Walkerton people attended the game.

FATAL MILRIMD CfMIIG MDEIII HOWARD BAILEY AND OLIVER SHAIEK OF LAKEVILLE KILLED NEAR WYATT. The second fatal automobile acciden within a tew weeks occurred Tuesday afternoon in the vicinity of Lakeville when Howard Bailey and Oliver Shafer, two well known farmers of Lakeville, lost their lives when I the automobile in which they were riding was struck by a fast Wabash train at the crossing one mile west of Wyatt. They were returning borne from a busy day assisting Uieir neighbors in threshing. The exact particulars are not known, as no one in the automobile survived to relate the details. Both men were probably killed instantly. • The auto was completely demolished and both men were thrown against i the engine and carried about 600 feet । before the train could be brought to a stop. The engineer and crew plac- I ed the bodies on the train and returned with them to Wyatt. They ■ were later removed to an undertak- ' ing establishment in South Bend. i Shafer was 33 years old and haa I lived in Union township all his life. ( He is survived by his parents, Mi. | and Mis. William Shafer, a wife, I Mrs. Rose Shafer, a son, Kenneth. ■ and a daughter, Grace. Bailey was 51 years old and is survived by his mother. Mary C. I Bailey, and a wife. Maude Riddle ( Bailey, bv three daughters. Helen, | Mary and Louise. His sisters are Mrs. N. H. Sheppard of Valparaiso, ( and Mrs. F. M. Barkley of Lakeville. ! His brothers are Charles and Dur- [ ward Bailey. VV H XT’S DEPKEIT VTION? The automobile has taught us a [ thing or two. About one man in ■ (three in Indiana owns a car. When ■ lhe paid a thousand dollars for his . I first automobile he kept track of the | [gas and oil he used and congratulat-j ed himself that the upkeep was not । so bad as he thought. Then he need- I ed new tires and a few repairs—all I maintenance expense. At the end of ' the third year he was fortunate to ( (sell the old car for S3OO. What be-■ [came of the S7OO difference? De- j preciation charge. The merchant has ■ it in shelf-worn goods: the country [ editor his it to the extent of about ten percent annually on his plant. The telephone company and the electric I light company have it in the fluctua- . tion of prices, the rotting of poles and the breaking of wires and cables. It is by recognizing depreciation as a fixed charge that-ye are prepared to buy a new automobile when tlTe~oid car wears out. Reunion of Eastbuni Family. Thirty-six members of the East- ! burn family met at the home of Mr. I and Mrs. John Lawrence four and i one-half miles south of Plymouth ' Sunday, October 10. At uoon a bounteous dinner was served.

They dropped [off a freight train here and claimed [thev had been working at Toledo, -lElkhart and other places. j About midnight one of the gang, lan old man about 65 years old, claimed he had been robbed of money by others in the bunch in a freight 'car and called on Night Marumi Jesse Wolfenbargt r who succeed.e<|t n 3 rounding up four of the gang «Bd < | then called upon Marshal Flack to [help got the rest of them. One hobb. [who had left town before the round-

Two oi them had taken lodging at Mrs. Binger’s boarding house where they were gathered in and the hoboes were all marched to the B. & O. depot followed by Marshals Flack with a shotgun and Wolfenbargor with two revolvers, where they were kept until the arrival of the west bound pasl sen ger train due her at 5 o’clock a. in. which they boarded tor Chicago. By making a few shifts amom. them [they raised money enough to buy 'railroad fare.

MUSIC LOVERS ENJOY RARE TREAT GH BY ARTISTS WITH EDISOX PHONOGRAPH VT NORTH LIBERTY WEDNESDAY EV I.NiNt By MRS. VV. A. UNDUE? A capacity house greeted Marie Morrisey, the celebrated conn; • . n the spacious auditorium ol Tie Nt rth Liberty Methodist church TV- n* ■ evening. The singer was ass n* by Walter Chapman, pianist, and by “The Phonbgraph with a Soul.’’ The sweet singer, whose coming had been so long looked for by he music lovers of North. Liberty, more the.’' --Wr ' 'l^T^^cUs. A voice of wonderful range and qualiiy and a personality of exceptional grace and charm won for her the enthusiastic plaudits of her hearers. But the great feature of the entertainment was the absolute accuracy with which the Edison phonot > ph reproduced the tones of her voice. In (the several numbers throughout the evening in which the voice and instrument interchanged cadences , there was no perceptible difference in the tone, so that, with the lights ‘turned out, it was impossible to tell (Whether it was Miss Morrisey or the [instrument singing. A beautiful and almost startling effect was manifest(in the selections where the singer I 1 sang a duet with herself The reproduction of the piano tone has been a most difficult problem in phonograph music, but that the feat [has been satisfactorily accomplished | was evinced in the piano selection, the familiar Second Mazurka, by (Godard, with Mr. Chapman at tht» piano, the phonograph reproducing i the tones with admirable effect. By [the way, Mr. Chapman played with exceptional facility of execution and (beauty of expression. The privilege of hearing the I world’s great artists was for years I denied the multitude of music lovers 'but now, thanks to the wonderful in(vention of a wonderful man, we can have these talented musicians brought info our homes through the (medium of an instrument that repro- ■ duces the finest expression and inflec[tion of voice or instrument thus placing the world’s best music within (the reach of all. j The Edison phonograph used by I Miss Morrisey upon this occasion (was one loaned by William Steele which has been used in his home for about two and a half years. The instrument used in the piano selections was loaned by’ the Kilmer Co. of North Liberty, which firm brought these artists to North Liberty. Government Warns Against Fruit Juices.
