A number of owners of farms in
Wapello county, whose pride is their
homes and who have taken sufficient
| interest in their place to give it a
name, have taken advantage Of the re-
cent law enacted whereby owners o!
country homes can register name

selves of the opportunity during July
and the present month may bring out
as many more. it is certainty that
there are many farms In Wapello
county that can very appropriately be
given a title that will stand for indi-
viduality, for while there may be as
good farms elsewhere, there are no
better. Some of the names are quite
appropriate, and an instance Of this
is the name given to his farm when
registering yesterday. j. 8. Reno OF
Washington township called his 100
acre farm by the name of "Reserva-
ton Stock Farm" 1t is also noticeable
in the farms named that three OF the
townships OF the county, namely Cass,
Competine and Green, have no regis
tered farm names. OF the forty-one
names registered, ten are in Adams
township. Polk and Center come next
with Columbia and Pleasant tying for
fourth place. Richland, Keokuk and
Washington have three each, while
Agency and Highland have mustered
but one apiece.
