In his talk Rev. Stansfield traced
the church from its early years up TO
the present time He showed that
the church was made up OF people
who had got the idea of Christ. He
said that in the early history Of the
church human reasoning was ap-
preciated, but that during the dark
ages IL was lost. because the church
became involved in politics
Then there came the reforma-

a new light. This new light brought
a new civilization and new republics

Fifty years ago there could not

was no life Of Christ. The churches
now have the idea of getting back

Question of Turning Over
Fairgrounds to Commit
tee Causes Split.

Efforts TO transfer the supervision
Of the park Fairgrounds and ap-
paratus from the board of park com
mlssioners TO the municipal recrea-
ton committee have resulted in a
partial split in the park board ac-
cording TO information which leaked
out Tuesday.
According to information at the
last meeting Of the park board the
proposition Of turning over all the
playground property and apparatus
to the recreation committee was
preached by w. W. RidenOur and
supported by l. w. Jackson. Pres
Richard Elbel and DR.. +. J. Lent
opposed the transfer in supervision
and il is understood refused to cast
their ballots when the matter was
put up TO a vote. Mayor +. w. Kel-
Ter was then called upon TO decide
the question and express himself as
favorable to the project but it was
held up for several days in order to
give Pres't Elbel and DR.. Lent time
to consider it more fully.
No Action Taken.
When asked regarding the mat
ter Tuesday afternoon Pres't Elbel
said that it was taken up at the last
meeting but that no definite action
would be taken until the next meet
ing. He refused 10 discuss the mat
ter further, saying:
There is nothing to give out on
the matter at this time"
When Pres't Elbel was informed
that responsible persons had asserted
final disposition of the matter would
be made before the next regular
meeting Of the park board, he re-
Piled:
Il think 1 know the source of your
information very well. 1 believe
that whatever spell you put in the

just a short time previous to the

BERKSHIRE BREEDERS
MAY ORGANIZE JAN. Is
Move To be Made 10 Encourage
Raising OF Hogs Here De
scribed by W. :. Stroup.

a meeting will be held at the court
house next Saturday, Jan. Is, at
O'Clock for the purpose Of organ
izing a s. Joseph county Berkshire
hog breeders association. In this
connection the following brief his
tory Of the Berkshires. written by
W. 5. Stroup, proprietor of the
Maple Grove stock and Mint farm.
is of interest:
1t has been said in years past that
the Berkshire hog was too small a
breed. Perhaps this was true at one
time, but during the last 100 years
breeders have imported and bred
for size until the Berkshire hog to-
day is a medium large hog and one
that stands in the front ranks Of
profitable breeds.
The earliest history Of the Berk-
shires shows Us a cross between the
hogs of Berkshire, England. and the
Chinese hog, the former giving the
latter size and vigor and the latter
giving it the qualities which make
fattening easy. The principal quail
tiles transmitted by the Chinese hog
are, in addition to the tendency 10
fatten, a better sprung rib, greater
length OF body. a quiet disposition
aud early maturity.
This combination of the English
and Chinese hog was imported by
some of the foremost hog breeders
Of America about the year 1923. The
strain proved it's worth rapidly and
in 1875 the American Breeders as
ISOLATION was organized for the pur-
pose OF registering the breed and
thus insuring protection for the line.
This was the first hog breeders or
ganIzatiOn formed in this country.
Description of Breed.
The face of the Berkshire is
short and wide, with the eyes show
ing a mild disposition, set far apart.
The ears are fine and upright, the
nose short, and the jowl medium.
The legs are short and wide apart,
in front giving ample room for the
vital organs and in the rear giving
room for a full development of the
tenderest part of the ham. The
animal stands erect on strong legs,
but the frame is supported by ivory
like bone which is strong but not
| course. The shoulders are well filled
out and meaty. They are broad on
top and well let down on the arm
! and extending we'll up TO the jowI.
The ribs are well sprung and deep,
the loin is wide and extends back to
| the ham, which also is wide and
we'll rounded out. and extending well
| down to the hook. The color of the
hog is black with white feet, tip OF
I tail and white nose
The Berkshires are noted for their
| quiet disposition which is coupled
with active temperament. They are
prolific breeders and the filters sell
dom fall below eight pigs, which al
ways have good mothers and there
| fore generally thrive. The strain
has been bred during the last CEN
| fury with the one view of producing
| ham and bacon of the highest quail
ity. Being bred the world over the
| BerkshiEe readily adapts itself to
any surroundings and so becomes a
! profitable animal for any farmer, a
fact which easily can be proved by
a short trial
