The Denison review. [volume] (Denison, Iowa) 1867-current, 1919-06-04

The day we were out in Milford
township, we found Mr.. and Mrs. Joe
lnghram keeping "batch", the only
daughter still living at home, Miss
Grace, was away visiting college
chums at 'Farragut, and at Grinnell.
And really, the "old folks" did not
relish being all alone. Miss Grace
Had d very fattering offer to teach
down in Louisiana, and Thought ser,
iously OF accepting, but her father
offered her the same salary II she
Wonld stay at home and keep them
company. We don't blame her a bit
for deciding to remain at home, be-
cause the Inghrams have nice, COM
Portable home, with everything to
make 1t so. Good roads to three diff
erent towns, d splendid auto, and a
permit to 60 any time. Why should
ono wish to separate oneself from
home and loved ones by placing 1900
or 1000 miles between them. Mr..
Inghram owns a very fine 800 acre
farm, right in the heart OF Milford
township, close to school, churches,
and all the refnements of civilization,
every foot tiIlable. highly improved,
and all paid for. why worry? The
improvements consist Of large house,
electric lighted, heated, well furnish
ed, including bath, situated with a
view to the south, amidst a shade Of
great naples, and surrounded by an
elegant grove iof tall walnut trees,
where 1imble, squirrels scramble
among the limbs and nest and raise
their young. and where the clean yell
low breasted swallows nest and de-
strOy millions of files and mats. To the
north Of the house IS a large wind
break edged, With wild cherry, now in
blossom, and making nice back
ground. Other buildings on the farm
are s large barn built about two years

OF the necessities OF the farm. In the:

Of young Chester Whites and IA brood

of the Chester White breed was pur-

over a we'll seeded pasture. In a
freshly plowed spot, Mr., Inghram will
plant about six acres Of cane, and he
is also trying some sweet clover. AS

most of his, repair work, and horse
sheeing, having all the necessary
tools nicely stored in the tool house,
