Since the pioneer days of this fine
state, Brown county has been the
subject for humorous jokes, sarcasm
and ridicule Its makeup is hills
rocks. creeks and mud. 1t rained here
almost a week lately and during that
time was the muddiest place III In
diana. There are only two good
roads in the county.
N0ah's flood tore up the earth so
badly and left so many hills, noun
tains and rocks, that the part Of it
which is now Brown county was d
long time alone before the first man
built within it cabin or house. 9th
er parts Of Indiana not so hilly or
rocky persuaded the human animal
TO locate there and leave Brown
county to the last. It is the last to-
day and will remain so until other
sections of the state where it does
not require such hard struggle to
make living and move about are all
thickly settled. Then there Will be
plenty of room for them in Brown,
for the total population of the coun-
ty today is between 1000 and 5000
men, women and children.

were newly married couples, or Young
married people, who struck out from
their native land with the idea thew

river. They had so little means to

they reached Brown county, and land

ODDS FAVOR THE
HEALTHY MAN
Coleman Du Pont in The American
Magazine,)

| always want man who looks
after his health. A strong, upstand-
ing, e-shouldered fellow, whose
muscles are whipcord rather than
putty, is usually apt to forge ahead
against all sorts of odds. The man
who is of inferior physique and who
| doesn't look after his health proper
ly is less likely to succeed. Good
health in a sense, is at the base of
all business achievement, for the pace
nowadays is too gruelling for weak
lings. The time a mans best effort is
most needed is when crisis has to
be faced; and unless man is thor
oughly fit physically, the extra strain
and stress and emotion are apt to
play havoc with him at the crucial
moment. Year after year I kept my
self so strictly in trim that my weight
did not vary five pounds from what
it was when l left college.
/ To win in the business game--or
any game, including the game of life
itself-you must enjoy it. There is
something wrong with man who
does not enjoy his work more and
more as he gets older. This is not
only my experience, but / find 1t Is
the experience Of number Of sue
cessful men with whom | have
talked. A man should grow happier
as he grows older, and he can grow
happier don't see how he can fail
to grow happier--if he is on the
right terms with his work.
Here again, however, the question
of health enters. To enjoy business,
to enjoy life, to be fit to carry out
hard or big things, man must be
sound in physical condition. There
fore, any young man who aspires to
become a1leader in his line should
early realize the vital importance Of
strengthening, building up and tun-
ing up his physical machine. I have
emphasized the necessity for having
ambition; but ambition is not likely
to get a man anywhere unless he has
a head, body and hands capable Of
carrying out his ambition. Mere wish
ing gets a man nowhere. He must
back up his wishes with action, and
action is dependent in no little meas
ure upon mans physical stamina,

1t is estimated that insects in the
United States cause an annual loss
OF over half billion dollars. Were
II not for our birds, the loss would be
so great that it is doubtful II agricul.
tural and horticultural industries
would be possible. A knowledge Of
the birds that protect the crops Is
therefore almost as essential as a
knowledge Of the pests that destroy

The custom Of presenting a Judge
with a pair of white gloves when the
court assemblies with no cases to Try,
which happened recently in the island
of Nantucket, owes It's origin to the
fact that in olden days Judges were
