THE HANCOCK DEMOCRAT, THURSDAY MORNING, MARCH 14, 1918 7 falls due on a certain date, perhaps at the very time when crops are a disappointment and ready money a' scarcity? si Death by Suffocation. Fortville Tribune. Bruce Frank, aged 51, was found dead in bed at his home on West High street in Pendleton at 6 o'clock Thursday evening, last. Mr. Frank had retired early Wednesday night and left the gas burning in an ojten radiaior in his room.

The gas pressure increased during The night and he was literally roasted. The furniture and woodwork in the room were blistered. Mr. Frank lived alone in a new house he bail jusr recently finished. He was a native of Ohio, being born in Mercer county.

He moved with nis parents to Hancock county, Indiana, in IStiS. Mr. Frank leaves a sister, Mrs. David Williams, of Pendleton, and an uncle, Matthew Frank, of Hancock county. His mother, father and brother died in the last three years.

The burial took place Friday afternoon in Grovelawn cemetery at that place. Just received a car load of fine Yellow Dent Seed Corn. Small amount yet unsold. Call and see this before buying elsewhere. New Alaskan Railroad Nearing Park.

How inaccessible our newest national park. Mount McKinley, still remains is graphically suggested in the account which Herbert A. Meyer, assistant to Secretary of the Intenor Lane, gives of his last summer's trip into the great Northwest in connection with the Alaskan Railroad which tte Government is building. We had reached Alaska by the inside passage and from Seward, the seaboard terminal of the new railroad, had traveled a hundred and fourteen miles by rail to Anchorage, the present headquarters, where he was still a hundred and fifty miles from the poii.t wht re the station for the Mount McKinley National Park probably will be located. His progress from Anchorage toward McKinley was picturesque.

"I was making the trip up the line," said Mr. M'yer, "with the intention of going as far into the interior as limited time would permit. We had traveled by rail until the end of track was reached and bad then continu- by lmckboard and saddle for many miles over rough corduroy through dense undergrowth, over ii: I-forgotten trails, crossing sloughs win. re the mud and muck would be body-dt. on the horses, fording streams and swimming rapid rivers until finally i i.e l.onL- rf tVio nciTna riv.

vq ri.r.. M'l! The Value of a Shade Tree. Last summer when the sidewalks were "red hot" and when you did no: have a shady spot where you could go on your lot outside of the house; ar.d when your sleeping room was so hot that you could not sleep, because it was not shaded, did you not resolve that in the spring of 1918 you would plant some shade trees? Well, the time is nearly here to make good your wise resolve. The value of a shade tree is until a mature tree or is removed. You frequently hear the expression, "I would not have taken a hundred dollars for that shade tree." Real esiate dealers tell us That well developed shade trees add from one to five hundred dollars to the value of a Iot.

is The Time To plan your shade tree planting. If yon have a space on your lot or along the street where shade Trees should be planted fill it this spring. Interest your neighbors in planting trees and buy your trees together from some reliable nursery. The best kind of a tree to plant is one that is long-lived; as free as possible from injurious insects; one that does not produce a litter, or have some very objectionable feature. The choice of trees for Indiana planting, arranged in the order of their merit, may be given as follows: Sugar maple, red oak.

Oriental plane, sycamore and white elm. If the elm was not subject to the stale, borer and leaf-eating larva', it would easily head the list. You can get a tree with a better root system from a nursery than from the woods. A tree alxnit six feet tall wili give the best Do not plain: a FOUNTAINTOWN, INDIANA Notice of Bridge Letting. Trees' Noise Like Whisper.

Henry Heinelle, of Santa Monica, who two years ago sent geologists on a hike to the wilds of the Malibu ry reporting the discovery of a nest of dunes of singing sandis, has again caused nature students to sit up and take notice, according to the Angeles Times. This time he reports the discovery of a clump of whispering trees. The find was made far up in Los Tumas canyon, where the county surveyor's gang recently ran lines for a mountain road to connect the seashore via h's scenic canyon with the Topanga at its junction with Garrapatas. The1 mysterious trees are near the bottom of the canyon, not far fretm the Weber ranch. At this point the wagon road is hung on the side of the canyon, far above the trickling stream.

Persons passing along the road at this point are invariably attracted by what sounds to them as if somebody in the undergrowth were talking in a subdued voice. Shouts failing to bring a resjior.se, Mr. Ileinelle, after listening to the suj -jwiseil whispered conversation, left the trail and descended the preeijiit side of Ihe mountain, expecting to discover some hunter who had fallen anil injured himself. But there was no evidence of life anywhere, although the air was filled with indistinguishable wliisjterings. The sound always came from the same1 general direction, and the will-o'-the-wisjt directed him to clump of scrubby trees, much in ajqiearance like the Knglish holly and then the mystery was solved.

The medle-like jioints of Thousands of these stiff leaves, swayed by the breeze blowing ui) lie canyon, scratching ujion the surface of other leaves was responsible for the chorus. The noise made by one leaf was so slight that it could not be heard a foot away, but the thousands grating continuously together kept the sound vibrations in such constant motion that their sigh fas heard above the ordinary rustling of the leaves of the chaji arral. John Cowan Evans. When a good man dies. Strong men turn away, regretfully say: "'Tis ill we can spare Such examples as he." John Cowan Fvans.

son of James M. and Suanna Tijiton Evans, was Iwirn near Severville, Tenn. January He departed this life March 4. BUS, aged seventy-nine years, two months and one day. For several months he hail been a constant sufferer, but not until the last few weeks did we anticijtate the extent of his disease.

The patience with which he bore hi-suffering was tyjiical of his life, for hr was always quiet and unassuming. He unitid with the Missionary Ban-tist church when he was IS years of age and remained in this faith during the- remainder of his life. He was married in Tennessee to Hannah Clark. December Tot th' union were Wirn childten, James M. Kvans and Martha Evans Hawkins.

Both of these survive him. His wife was called from him, September 27, when, with his children, he returned to the home of his la rents. In the same year he with his jtar-ents came from Tennessee to Hancock county. Indiana, and remained until October, While in Indiana he was married to Mary Wright, daughter of Josejth and Elizalteth Stevens Wright. October .11, 1 They moved to near Knoxvi'Ie, and remained there until when they returned to Indiana.

To this union were born six children three of them dying in childhood. The surviving ones are Hanna Eakin. with whom he has made his home anil '-ceived kind and loving care since the death of his wife, which occurred Octo ber and Adda Ajijtle. who lives near McConlsville. Ind.

One daughter, Anna C. Eakin. died October leaving one daughter, Leoma. Ho leaves, besides his son anil three daughters, nine grandchildren and a number of nieces and nejdiews to mourn their loss. A noble life but written not in any-book of fame.

Among the list of notde ones none ever saw his name. For only his own household knew the victories he had won. And none but they could tesrify now well his work was done. The Self-Supporting Wowan. Indiana Daily Times.

Some months ago a grouji of radi cals who are trving to save ihe worbi the way they think the world should be saved were having a fanning bee in one of the hotels at Niagara Falls, noted millionaire In the grouji was a whose wife works. Several of his com-about bavins wife to I have the jianions were twitting him ing money and jiremifting work, when he said: "I have it on all of you. direct evidence that my wife lives wih me because she loves me anil wants live with me. She's independent of my income. She can mak an excellent living for herself.

She doesn't have to live with me for her living. 1 know my wife loves mo and that's more than the rest of you can say." Of course the conversation was more jesting than serious, but there's much truth in a jest sometimes. Women who are trained to be self- sunjiorting are independent ot the semi-bondage of marriage and it is not difficult to see how the consciousne" of indejtendence of her lord and master encourages love rather than kills it. If our war is long continued neces sity will be driving women to tietils of endeavor offering such compensations as will maintain them in respectability. It is not imjirooable that manv women, after the war.

will find hat they must he the bread winners tor the family. Some, douritles, will contemplate this possibility mis givings, and yet the self-supporting woman, instead of breaking down our institution of marriage, may prove to be the agency that will lift wedlock and home life on to a higher plane than ever it has been.

March 7. Mrs. C. G. Olmstead.

living on the String- town road, near Evansville, is the originator of the "Hoover iie," anil her sucess was such that many of the other women of the neighborhood are introducing the iie to their families. Not a bit of lard or a particle of wheat flour is used in making the jiie. The jiie is matle by Iteating three eggs well with half a cup of sugar ami half .1 cuj) of graham flour. A little salt and some flavoring are added. The mixture is then stirred into a j'int of milk ami the jiie is ready for the oven.

No crusts are matle. The mixture is poured into a wt 11-greased jan and baked. The graham flour in the mixture forms lower crust and when the jan is removed from the oven it contains a custard pie which carries all the flavor of the old-fashioned kind anil yet defies the strictest test of the Footl Administration. The jian may be greased with any kind of meat grease. A substitute for sugar may be used.

Capitol IndianapoliB 8 mhTtl i 17 I'll tin 1 1 have no hesitation in saying thai ihe; sight of the river boat was very ant after two such days in the saddle, i Toward McKinley by "Til'1 Susitna. like most gl.u i.il streams, is exceedingly rapid and ior! the most part very shallow, -with jt i Ting rocks and eddies and whirlpools i that tend to make navigation difficult and dangerous. The problem confro.it-1 ing the engineers at this point wa to find the most efficient and economical way by which men and supplies could be transported further along the Two methods presented themselves of building wanon roads, or of ing the river.

The cost of constructing i ven temporary roads in such a country would be extremely high. Ceuld the river be utilized at less expense? In characteristic manner The engineera laced This question. The result was the construction of a small fleet of especially designed boats, each capable of handling fifty tons. These have a draft of only eighteen inches, with a length of eighty-five feet and breadth of twenty feet, and they liav" been found to be adequate in all respects for the purposes intended. "We Traveled up the Susitna for nearly Three days, an unbroken wilderness on one side of the river, and a railroad grade on the other.

At times the river broadens to nearly a mile in width ami then separates into numerous narrow channels, like the fingers of the hand. The boat, toiling up the river, would now and then become stranded on some sand bank, and tiia would get out Their long pole-, to push bai into the ever-changing ci nel; at other Times the river would broaden out and practically botto.r-lrss. The difficulties of ncivigat iup a stream this character can be appre-cia'ed all the more when it is stated that the speed of the boa; was never greater than i miles an hour aid lor the most pari did not exceed or three miles. Often there were times when we stood perfect 'v still with she engines racing at full snee 1. Indie.ij now and again we would be overpow-! ere-d by the current and drift back to; where a start could be nnele When this happened it would be nee-i e-sary to 'explore for a n-w channel.

perhaps the whole course of the ri having Iteen changed since trip of the boat. What had been the channel might be and what had been a bank the iast ior met iy dry la nil of might now be a channel. "The Monarch of Mountains" "The weather was delightful, am; in this we were particularly because, lor nearly eightetn hourr-each tlay. the great Alaskan Range of mountains was in clear view, the impressive scene of Mount McKinb in all its majesty presenting a special lc of never-ending charm ami wonder ment. Kach new bend would afford some new monarch of mountains, flanked by two gigantic tendants, each monarch in th he 'I vc ti'i 1 view of McKinb mountain at-in his own right, their above the peaks prominently lifed surrounding mountain range, but surpassing in height, beauty anil grandeur bv massive, incompara ble McKinley itself.

"While cir boat was pu-hiiig its way up the rapids, I visited the engine room to see the source of the i that was slowly but surely conquering I The resisting current. After some time; spent in conversation with the er-gineer in his greasy, noisy stronghold, my eye chanced upon a magazine oer! in one corner of the room. To one used to the cosmopolitan life of the: city, it was odd. To say The least. To be the vast solitudes for days without seeing newspapers, books, or other: reading materials, and you ean imag-! ina hew eagerly I picked up this p'ibli-; cation.

To my surprise I found that it was a copy of the National Geographical Magazine. Turning casually Thiough the pages I came upon an article by my friend Stephen Oapps of; The Fnited Stales Geological Survey, i on Mount McKinley. An Interesling Coincidence through The door of the engine room. The series of coincidences was complete; There was Mount McKinley in the veriest reality before my eyes, in my handvwas a chance copy of i a year-old number of a magazine pub-' lished by men whom I know well, and containing an article by a personal friend, the subject of which was beforc-me. I speedily adjourned to the deck, seated myself on a comfortable bale of hay.

and poured through The article. now and again glancing up to see The actual mountain monarch about which I was reading so many inreresTing Things." Secretary Meyer was sixty miles or more, as the crow flies, from Mount McKinley when the limitation compelled him to return. At that point he describes as sublime the spectacle pre sented by the vast mountain upper fourteen Thousand feet whose is per-j petually ice clad. Mount McKinley rises 20. Too feet above sea level and feet above the level of the park valleys at its foot.

Th tinii has come when we must face fundn-i menials and the gumshoing and political intrigue of pettv factions an office grabbers give place- to high minded endeavor to translate into our national life anil our social organiza some ct the great principles nunciated by President Wilson an 1 fought for by the valiant thousands ot our men now trance or in train ing for the ordeal over there. The chief mission of politics i th country from now on must be to cure anil defend those everlasiing prin ciples and rights for which our men are fighting and dying. Let the demagogues beware! In every home from has gone a roldier there is sober and serious thinking on the problems which eonfroni The people of this country. Oratory ai funny stories will not be of the substantial character necessary to attract vo'es in The next Congressional election. It is time for our politicians to "talk turkey." Uncle Sam's Banks Busy.

Farm and Fireside. Uncie Sam has already loaned the farmers of America something like since his new land banks opened for business. He is loaning This money on easy Terms: per cent interest, no commission charges, loans to run from 5 To 4" years, and the principal to be repaid on with the interest, so that, in reality, the mortgage never comes du The law is encumbered with an unnecessary amount of red Tape. Perhaps that is inevitable. But with the passing of a few years this red tape should be cut away; L'ncle Sam should put no obstacles in the pathway of the hard-working, frugal farmer who de- sires additional capital wilh which to buy more land, more stock, or more machinery, or to build himself a bette-! house.

The secretary of one of the Federal land banks has kept track of the loans alreaely made. He reports that one- fourth of the money Uncle Sam is loaning farmers of his district is for the very laudable purpose of erecting new houses and better outbuildings. Surely, there should be every assistance possible given to carry on such a campaign. It is only a few weeks until the first of March, when most farm paper is payable or renewable. Why not look into this new system of farm borrowing and see if it will not save money, in commission and interest, and take away the bugbear of a mortgage 8-Train No.
