A loaf of bread has been on ex
hibition at Mark Lane which was
the result of a record-making ex
periment at Blockley, in Worches
tershire. At 8:30 o'clock one
morning Messrs Taylor & Sons, of
the Sheaf House farm, Blockley,
started to cut a field of wheat. As
| fast as the sheaves were cut they
| were started to the granary, and
Ethere threshed and winnowed.
| These operations,says the Western
| Daily Press, took six and one half
| minutes. Thence the wheat was
taken to the mill of J. H. Painton,
and there ground and dressed in
five and one-half minutes. At the
adjacent bakehouse the flour was
made into&dough and molded into
|cakes and loaves. Seven small
loaves were taken from the oven
at g o'clock thirty minutes from
the time the wheat was standing
uncut. The larger loaves were
finished in forty minutes. One
twas sent to-the King and others
| were presented to Lady Northwich
and Lord Redesdale.

Home Insurance is Needed.
) Why can't a number of people
in a community band together
‘and carry their own insurance.
This is a question that many a
man has asked himself and right
ly he has thought of it when the
time comes for paying enormous
premiums to the so-called old line
companies. For instance why not
secure a thousand jmembers and
let each man pay a dollar at the
death of each member and there
by pay the widow of the deceased
member a thousand dollars. The
death rate for this section is re
markably low, being according to
statistics, only about 5 out of each
thousand to die per year, which:
would mean that after paying a
small expense fee of say a dollar
a year would only about six dol
lars that a thousand dollars would
cost him., Out of the demand for
such a company has grown the
Mutual Life Insurance Associaton,
‘whose home office is at Athens
‘and who have been induced to put
a representative in this territory.
They have been very successful
having written over 12000 policies
in the last twelve months and
since the organization of this local
division, which will include Jas
per and Morgan counties, they
have written over three hundred
of the one thousand members,
Mr. R. L. Webb, at Monticello
Hotel will represent'this company
here and all residents of these two
counties in good health between
the agesof 16 and 6o are eligible
until the 1000 have been secured,
It will pay you to see Mr. Webb
and get him to explain the polciy.

Death of Mrs. Waits,
The remains of Mrs. Waits,
whose death occurred near Me
chanicsville last Friday night,
were brought to the Henderson
burial ground near Monticello for
interment on the following day.,
Mrs. Waits was the daughter of
Mr. Floyd Freeman, of this coun
ty, and was about fifty years old
at the time of her death, She
was highly esteemed by all who
knew her and leaves a large num
ber of relatives and friends who
mourn her death, ;
During the next several days
Hallowe'en tragedies will be re
‘ported in the dispatches. Three
or four homicides resulting from
Hallowe'en frolics have already
been reported in Indiana and Illi
nois, and we shall hear of others
as the injuries of the victims cul
minate fatally.
Indiana is adding to her reputa
tion as a haven of refuge for fu
gitives from justice fleeing from
thé charge of murder. England
asked the extradition of a man
named Lynchaun, wauted in Ire
land for the murder of a woman,
The woman was killed during the
process ‘of an eviction, United
States Commissioner Moore, of
Indianapolis, has decided that the
killing was a ‘‘political offense”
and therefore not extraditable, If
that is good law, a man who would
assassinate King Edward would
have only to reach Indiana to be
safe from the consequences of his
crime,
