port that generally the wheal, yield
lias been good; It will average about
20 bushels to the ucie. There will
be many unces where the yield will go
.'15 bushels to the aore. and others
where CO bushelH lo Hie aore ban
been recorded. The oat and barley
crop ban been; splendid. The prices
of all gralriH will bring to the farmerH
a magnificent return for their label's.
An Instance has 'been brought to my

where winter wheal Ik grown who
made a net profit of ?l!,nri per aero, or
little less than the Helling price of IiIk

recorded there. The beauty aboul the

everywhere In abimdauco make the
best possible feed for fattening cattle
or for those used for dairying pur

Decrease of CG Per Cent. In ArrestH
Under Plan Tried by Chief
Kohler Based on Com
mon Sense.
Cleveland. After more than eight
months' trial of the new Golden Rule
policy of making arrests In Cleveland,
Chief of Police Kohler has pronounced
It. unqualifiedly si success, and accord
ingly has given the policemen still
greater power of discretion. The num
ber of arrests in Cleveland in eight
months or this year has shown a de
crease of more than Cf pur cent, ovor
the iiimn period last year, while, at
the same time, no greater number of
serious crimes than usual have been
reported, despite tho lnrge number of
first offenders allowed to go who, un
der the old regime, would have beon
arrested. However. Chief Kohler snya
that there are at 111 loo many arrests,
and he Is urging that further euro be
exorolt-ed in keeping tho number
down.
I'he lloldeir Rule policy, which Chief
Kohler put Into effect last January,
provided Mint policemen should use
judgment and common sense In deal
ing with offenses which aro merely a
violation of city ordinances and pun
Jshnble by a small line. They wero
lold to lake Into consideration the in
tent to violate a law or an ordinance,

wore Instructed to warn a drunken
man and send him home, rnther than
'drag him lo jail on his (list offense,
find that two mon fighting, if for tho
first lime, should bo separated, rea

file object of the new plan was to
dispose of trivial misdemeanors with
out arrest and prevent the humiliation
and disgrace of persons who through
thoughtlessness, passion or temper or
In a spirit of frolic or mischlevousness
violated the law. Llkewlso, it is in
tended to prevent tho humiliation and

BUSINESS MANAGER FOR CHURCH
Cleveland
Institution Plans
New SyBtem.
to Try a
CHIEF f P0L1 Ct KOHIXR.
The lipworth Memorial Methodist
church in Cleveland has decided to try
a new system of church management.
A business manager has beon ap
pointed who will give his entire time
and attention to the finances of tho
church. As executive secretary ho
will collect, the benevolences, dues of
members, subscriptions, etc., and pay
all expenses. Tie will serve as sec
retary of the standing committees of
the church and keep a record of their
business for transmission to the ofll-
cial board. This, il is expected, will
leave the pastor free to give atten
tion lo the larger plans of tho work
nnd to his pulpit, and pastoral duties.
ISpworth .Memorial has the largest
membership of all the Protestant
churches In the city. It has an ex
tensive charity work and handles over
$?..ri,000 in contributions every year.
Dr. G. K. Alorris, district superin
tendent, strongly commends the in
novation. "To my mind." he says, "It
is tho ideal o'f church government. I
expect to see the' plan adopted In
many other cities."
The Doctor's Fee.
The average man will give a lawyer
$300 to $500. together with a lifetime'!:
praise, to keep him out of the peniten
tiary for from two to ten years, and at
the same time he will raise a phos
phorescent glow and a kick that, can
be heard around the world if a doctor
charges hlni $G0 to ?100 to keep him
out of hell for a lifetime. Wo aro the
only people under God's ethereal tent
to-dny who keen open shoo 21 hours
each day and SG5 days in each year.
We are also the only laborers to keep
on working for people who do not pay.
I can carry my part of charity with
as good a grace as most men. I can
go through rain, snow or mud and dc
my best, provided the case is one of
worthy need, but to reward continually
downright rascality, willful drunken
ness and wanton laziness Is getting

IN THE PUBLIC EYE
FIGURED IN OIL DISCLOSURES
Joseph C. Sibley, the Pennsylvania congress
man whose name figured in tho recent Standard
Oil disclosures of W. R. Hearst, will not be so
directly nffected by the unpleasant rovolatlons
as the Ohio statesman, for the Keystone man
voluntarily retired from congress a couple of
years ago and lias not sought political prefer
ment since. While he wns in the house ho oc
casionally shot up Into the limelight for a mo
ment, but upon the whole was considered a
faithful if not a brilliant representative of Ills
district. At one lime he made an attapk upon
the president from the floor of the house which
attracted considerable attention, and at tho time
of tho postofllce scandals some unpleasant atten
tion was attracted to Slbloy by the discovery
that a company in which he was heavily inter
ested had an important contract for furnishing supplies to the postofllce de
partment.
Sibley was born 57 yearn ago In New York, and n'ftor teaching school,
farming, merchandising and selling goods on the road he struck a paying
lead as an oil producer and amassed considerable wealth through tho medium
of a signal oil.
lie wont luto politics while still comparatively young, and was elected
mayor of Franklin, Pa., at the age of 29. He was a Democrat in those days,
and it was that party which sent him to congress in 1892. He was one of tho
original free silver boomers, but his convictions underwent a pronounced
change later on. for in 1900, while still in congress, he reversed himself and
became a Republican. A little incident like that did not, however, appear to
affect his grasp upon his constituency, for he continued to be oiecled to con
gress by his new partisans.
He has been active in various cattle breeding, agricultural and dairymen's
organizations, and it appears from the recent revelations that ho also took
something more than a more passing interest in the affairs of the Standard
Oil Company.

"Whether in congress measuring merits with tho Republican leaders on
great national questions, before a chancellor arguing an intricate question of
law, facing a jury in whose hands the life or property of his client is held or
on the hustings with thousands of Democrats anxious lo hear the word pro

and his resonant voice a nover onding delight. He is 'Big Ollie to his inti

Thero are no frills about him, no affectation and a wholesome welcoming at

The assertion was made at. the first
that tho Golden Rule policy placed a
dangerous dlscrotloiwry power In tho
hands of the police. This has not
proved true. In his bulletin to tho
pollco on July 1 Chief Kohler snld:
"Tho members of this department

souse policy, which must bo gratifying
to you as well as myself, and 1 am

With your long and varied experience

with tho now plan. Some of them say

in making arrests for Intoxication un

Uut when once the fact is clear,
most people try to kcop away from

Edward W. Townsend is anothor literary
man who has broken into political life recently.
He has been nominated for congress by tho
Democrats of one of the Now Jersey districts.
Tho Seventh New Jersey district, which will
be tho scene of his political efforts, has been
represented in congress by a Republican for the
lust 15 years, but it is a closo district and
Townsend will only have a majority of a few
bund rod votes to overcome.
By the average reader Townsend is remem
bered chiefly as the creator of that unique and
slanglly interesting young gentleman, "Chiramle
Fadden," whose self-told adventures and ex
periences made interesting reading a dozen
years ago. He also wrote tho "Major Max"
sketches, as well as several novols, sketches,
.plays and poems of varied sort. Although lie was born in uioveiand. o ho
lived much of his life in San Francisco, wnoro no woiKeti as a newspaper
wrltor and whore ho first made a reputation as an author or clever special
articles and humorous bits that wero widely copied and quoted. For some
years past ho has worked on tho New York newspapers, and has mado his
homo in tho pretty town of Montclalr, N. J., within easy reach of tho metrop
olis. Tho presont is his first serious vonturo into politics.
