corn, and there was some wheat and
other small grain. Mrs. Swanz's
maiden name was Darling and she was
enjoying visit from her niece, Beu

much JOY. He returned with the SD

him he may buy it, but he is in no
hurry and will not buy until suited

evening, and he was quite anxious to
find the animal, because she was a
good one, Mr.. SWAMI paying a hundred
and seventy-tive dollars for her last
fall. He later telephoned us that he
had found her, however, and we would
not need advertise. Mr. SWAMI for

On the Winans farm he has a load of
steers he is now running on grass and
they will be put on feed this fall, and
he expects them to bring him some

along, Mrs. Sheridan informed us that
she had on that morning just shipped
out 800 day-old chicks, and she had
many more eggs in the machine, be-

N, T. HANSEN'S HOME

One begins to realize hoWs large
territory Crawford county comprises
when one tries to visit a given num-
her sof farms in one day, and make
visit at each place. Making a stop
every five minutes and calling at
home and possibly walking across a
forty-acre field to meet the owner, re-
auires time and you really don't get
yery far in distance. 1t is also sur
pristing too, at the number OF new
places that have been built up Wltn1h
the last year or so. When driving
over west Of Deloit last Thursday we
visited what to us was a new pace
that Of NJ. r.. Hansen, just two miles
west of Delott, in Goodrich township.
This farm has been built up within
the last four years and is one OF the
show places along the road from the
old Carl Hansen farm north. Inc
buildings are all modern, well painted,
rodded for lightning and the entire
place is as neat and attractive as any
city home.
The house is 32x32, story and one
halt with full basement containing
FIVE rooms. The main floor OF the
homo has four rooms and pantry, ana
the upper floor contains four rooms
and closets for each room. The inter-
4 ior IS finished in hard pine, we'll oiled,
and the entire house is so designed
as to be very convenient, fur
mace heated and gas lighted. 1t sets
well back from the road and the tine
blue grass lawn shows signs OF being
we'll kept, fenced chicken tight, and
ornamented with shrubbery and fine
trees while to the north was nice
orchard and ornamental trees. A
splendid water system furnished wa
ter throughout the home, and the rear
porch was made cozy and comfortable
because of having be,n screened, and
1t was here that we found Mrs. Han
sen, busy husking strawberries for a
shortcake. Mrs. Hansen is a daugh-
ter of BrOder Boysen, and was born
and reared in Goodrich township, near
! the place she now occupies. She Is
the mother of two bright children, and
not Notwithstanding the fact that she was
doing all her own work, we found the
children were having every attention
and care. Mrs. Hansen is one OF the
few women who work by clock work,
and when meal time comes the meal
is ready, and the boys on the farm
are supposed to be on hand for the
meal or go without. Twelve o'clock
with this lady does not mean twelve
fifteen. -. -..
The large barn, cattle house. chick
en- house, hog house and double corn
crib at this place were all we'll built
and in keeping with the house. All
the buildings were painted the same
color, and harmonized with the home.
The farm comprises $40 acres of land,
and the most of it was being worked.
In stock Mr.. Hansen generally keeps
considerable number of head, and

The McAndrews boys, over north or
Vail, have been lucky in securing the
services of Mr. and Mrs. r. c. Doing,
of Springfield, Mo-, to assist with the
work on the farm. and Mrs. Doing
reports the raising OF more than 200
chickens this spring. When we stop
ped at the McAndrews place the boys
were not at home, but we took a view
of the fine Duroc hogs to be found on
the place, and for which the Mean
drews' have become famous, Here
was to be found one of the best look
ing crops of young pigs to be seen In
the country. And they were of eXcep-

The main problem was TO put the right
man in the right place. To this end a

vided and filed at the War Department
for every soldier A duplicate OF this
card moved with him wherever he went,
here or abroad He did not carry Il on

For every job in the army there il to-
day an exact definition OF duties, For
every man there is an exact written de-
scTiption (procurable off-hand) of his abil
titles. The problem has been to bring the
man and the job together, thereby giving
the army the benefit Of civilian experience,
minimizing the need Of army schools to
develop specialists oVt Of raw material,
shortening the training period Of military
units, and making the soldier Contented by
continuing him wherever possible In his
accustomed trade.
We could never have overcome the
military balance, and thereby smashed
the power of Germany, II it had not been
for our prompt adoption of this system,
by which men industrially skilled, flowing
into the army from all parts OF the coun'
try, we're so utilized as to turn each re-
cruits abilities to utmost possible ac-
count
The idea was derived from two dis
tinct sources. On the one hand were the
great industrialists-the manufacturers in
various lines, who had learned how 10

their men. On the other hand were the

things.

ing Of the card record. The latter was
