Judgment day for tororifiK FISHER SAYS IT IS THE TONIC NEEDED FOR GOOD HEALTH. BY First White Child Born in Polk, Now Nearly Eighty, Recalls Early Days Vividly.

Silas B. Fisher was the first white child born in Polk township of Huntington county. With this distinction he was the guest of honor at the Indiana centennial celebration at Monument City on March 17. Mr. Fisher's father, Nathan Fisher, Mine from Ohio and stopped in Polk nvnship October 5 ,1836.

With Na Iv.n Fisher was his father, Moliston and his uncle, Jacob Fisher. Each man had his family with him. The trip from Ohio was made in wagons drawn by oxen, and of course, took several weeks. The evening they stopped in Polk townBhip they camped rr1 1 v. VCTifc 1 CXs beside a large fallen tree on what is now known as the Rudicel farm.

The air was warm and balmy avealng and the vegetation was still green, as there bad been no frost. In the night it turned cold, snowed, and by morning there was a tnowfall of about six inches. The men began building log cabins Nathan Fisher, Silas's father, built his cabin just south of the Lewis Snider farm in the north east corner of Section 24. Before the family had a door for the cabip, Nathan Fisher had to make a trip to Marion for supplies. It took two days to make the journey, twenty miles each way.

The night Nathan Fisher was away' from" home Mrs. Fisher made some hominy In the open fire place. She went out after wood and wolves chased her into the house. She kept them from entering by throwing live coals and burning sticks of wood through the doorway. Silas B.

Fisher was born December 11, 1836, a little more than two months after the family arrived In Polk township. He has a vivid recollection of tho Indians who had a village just north of where Monument City is now located. The Indians came to his father's house many times and Mr. Fisher in his boyhood visited the Indian village frequently. Some of these Indians were good, but otheTs were the worst of thieves.

In his time Mr. Fisher has helped harvest wheat with the reap hood, and has helped thresh it with a flail. After barns were equipped with floors the grain was tramped out by Mr. Fisher's first educationaLlfain ing was acquired from a teacher hired to come to tne isner nome. laier a free school was established In a log school house which had a big fire place.

Tins fireplace Durned seven foot wood, and the big boys had to est the wood. Mr. Fisher is the father of seven children, of whom Mrs. Alice Bare, Mrs. Martha Kellam and John Fisher are living.

Among the relics Mr. Fisher displayed at the centennial day was his nursing bottle. He held It In. his right hand when the. piclure reproduced here was taken.

He says he held It in that hand when he had actual use for It. Mr. Fisher has seen Polk township developed from a wilderness with howling wolves and Indians as inhabitants, to the present prosperous farming community. He Is atill hale and persists in working every day that the weather permits. He says work is the tonic that keeps men In good health, and that many die young or before their time because they quit working.

BOTH AVOID COMMENT Champion Injures Hand in Third When Moran Forces Him to the Ropes. New York, March 27. Jess Willard champion of the world.

In ten champion of the world. In the ten rounds of fast fighting he defeated Frank Moran of Pittsburgh, Saturday night on points. A crowd of about 13,000 persons paid approximately $150,000 to see the fight and went away apparently satis fled with the result. It was the greatest gathering Madison Square Garden had ever seen. Many women were In the throng.

Willard broke his right hand in the third round, but blows from his 'lighting left kept Moran at a distance. Moran's best was the third and his worst probably was the seventh. He was bleeding after the fifth round and his left eye was almost closed at the end. Willard was rushed to the ropes in the third and received blow after blow on his face. The crowd sensed a knock out, but the finishing punch was lacking.

Moran put up a game flght. Most of the time he crouched and forced the fighting. Willard seemed slower on his feet than the challenger and appeared to have an unlimited capacity to take punishment. Moran scowled as ho fought Willard smiled. The awarding of the bout to Willard on points was virtually, unanimous among the experts about the ringside, although all gave Moran credit for his gameness and continual efforts to land a punch on the champion that would bringdown his gigantic opponent.

Promoter Tex Rickard announced that the gate receipts amounted to $151,224. Of this amount the state received 7 per cent, of the gross receipts which amounted to $11,344.05. Willard's share was $47,500 and Moran's $23,750. Combined with the percentage taken by the state and the $7,500 paid for the rental of the garden, the expenses totalled $90,094.05. To this must be added other expenses which probably will bring the total up to about $100,000, so that Tex Rickard und his partner in the enterprise McCracken, will clear close of $50,000 profit on the bout.

Moran refused to make any statement after the bout other than to say there would have been no fighting if he had not taken the aggressive throughout the ten rounds. Dr. Lewis Morris later attend ed the champion at his hotel, said that Willard suffered a slight fracture of the joint of the first Index finger of his right hand early in the fight. He added, however, that the big fellow otherwise was in good condition and that the injury to the finger would not trouble him more than a day or so. Rickard said after the fight: "Moran put up a good fight.

He's a good boy. Willard was much slower than I thought he'd be. If he broke his right hand, as it is said, he claimed he did, it did not seem to make much, difference. He did not seem to need his right a good part of the time." The doors of Madison Square Garden opened late. A Jostling crowd impatient at the delay poured through the runway In single file, tickets In hand.

The big hall filled slowly. The galleries, so close to the roof that a tall man standing tiptoe could have touched the rafters with his finger tips, pere packed tight long before the bare spots on the floor began to disappear. The faces in galleries, balconies, boxes and4 the ends of the big floor blurred Into indistinct splotches of white In the glare of the big mercury lamps above the ring. In frail looking perches swung from the rail of the second balcony the moving picture men focused their cameras on the ring. The preliminaries began but for all the crowd cared, the boxers might as well have been pummeling each other In their own back yards.

The spectators were Interested only In the big bout and they were willing to wait. John L. Sulljvan Fitzsimmonji. Jim Corbett all one time holders of the heavyweight championship had seats close to the ring. Among those holding box seat tickets were J.

P. Morgan, Reginald C. Vanderbilt, "Diamond" Jim Brady, David Belasco, Enrico Caruso, Llndley M. Garrison, Colonel DuPont and Mayor Curley, of Boston. There were scores of women In the great throng.

EXPERT GIVES ADVICE Possibilities and Ways of Obtaining United Effort Are Cited and Discussed.

course taken in OEganiziftg the breeders of registered livestock in the county will depend largely upon report and recommendations of a committee of five men selected Saturday to study other organizations and decide upon the plan best suited to local need. Prof. J. W. Schwab of Purdue university spoke to sixty five men in the thoroughbred business or who are interested in It in the assembly room of the court house Saturday afternoon.

It was at the close of his address that the committee was chosen. The Rural Improvement and Protective association arranged for the lecture as a part of a well formed plan to organize the breeders and advance their interests and the interests of! farmers through improved stock. The census taken by the association was the first step. Prof. Schwab dealt entirely with livestock raising.

He approved the movement under way in this county and suggested that as one instance of what might be done In detail work, that the next county institute program contain advertisements of breeders and instead of for There are good animals in the county and a demand for them, he said, but the fact must be made known. United efforts of the breeders through an organization would make the county known nationally. The stock sold must be of the best to make the business permanent, Prof. Schwab advised his audience, and in hia opinion the inferior animals, some of which are sure to be raised, should in every case be butchered. Even though their breeding makes them registered animals, those not fully developed are to be considered as ordi nary stock.

It also pays to buy noth ing but the best animals, he declared. Three cardinal points in stock rais ing are breeding, feeding and care, each one contributing one third to the final result, he said. The committee was formed by nam ing one man to represent eacl) of the branches of the Industry. The men and breeders they represent are: Henry Miller, horses. W.

H. Paul, beef cattle. L. E. Wrenn, dairy cattle.

W. F. Smith, hogs. M. R.

Purviance, sheep. Whether the breeders should organize separately and be connected with the county rural association merely through individual membership, or whether they should be branches of the main body are the principle undecided questions of procedure. One method would be for all the breeders to become members of a co operative body, with common general and then for those engaged in different branches of the business to have subsidiary organizations. If this Is not done the other method now discussed would be to have separate organizations for the different breeders, which would affiliate with the rural aspoclation. The committee has a wide latitude for its work, and may find another system available that has not been suggested yet.
