DUROC MEN VISIT
COUNTY'S PlGGERIES

When the Duroc-Jersey men planned
to make day of it late last week,
they arranged for an early start. Cars
began to show in court house square
as early as a. m, and 80 minutes
later they were off to flying start.
Duroc fanciers from outside the coun-
ty were in the party, and every breed
er had guest or two.
The plan was to visit every Duroc
piggery in the county, and one at Con
nersville, make brief inspection of the
herds and pass on. There are II
breeders in the Wayne association, all
of whom were in the party, George
Wagner of Milton, excepted.
John L. Dolan, Wayne's new county
agent, was a guest, and the trip gave
him flying view of Wayne farms and
roads, and afforded a glance at some
of the best red hogs in Indiana. There
were 40 in the party and the first stop
was made at the Walter Test place, on
Richmond Route D. From the Test
home the party drove to Glenn Cars
on to Funk and Harter's, thence to
Bob Whiteman's, next to Ebert
kemp's.
After leaving the Kemp place stops
were made as follows: At Harry Var
nauf's, L. N. Hampton's, L. C. Pal
mer's, William Wilcoxen's, at R. C
Mendenhall's at Economy; c. J. Var
maui, Hagerstown; William Waltz, Ha
gerstown; Bent Wilson, Cambridge
City; E. C. Caldwell and Sons, Con.
nersville; D. H. Kent, Centerville
Enroute to Hagerstcwn w. r. Cort
ner and Sons, at Greensboro, were Civ
en- brief lookover.
A number of well filed lunch has
;, kets added much to the pleasures O.
the day, and these were duly inspected
in the Mendenhall grove at Economy
In some manner few watermelons
| wete bagged enroute, but where ane
| how is state secret. After inspect
| ing the D. H. Kent herd at Centerville
the party scattered for home, at 6:45
| having put in at least a 12-hour day.

Dinner Stories

"Biddy," remarked the newly wed
Irishman, ''go down and feed the
pigs"
Faith, and 1 will not" replied the
bride.
Don't be after contradicting me,
Biddy," retorted the husband. Haven't
just endowed you with all my worldly
goods, and if you cannot feed your own
property, then it's ashamed of you
am
This was new point of view, so off
Biddy went.
Presently she returned.
Have you fed the pigs, Biddy?" de-
manded her husband, sternly.
/ Faith, and l have not" she answer
ed. Il have done a great deal better.
AS they were my property I have sold
them and shall not be bothered with
them again"
The family had been having an cpl
demic of colds and sore threats. Each
received the physicians favorite pre-
scriptions for powder and gargle.
Finally the maid, a recent importation
from Poland, fell i'll. The lady of the
house tried to give her the powder
and gargle, but she insisted on having
the physician. And when the latter
came he prescribed as usual.
Now, you see,' said the mistress,
hes giving you exactly the same
things l took"
Il won't take dem," responded the
maid. Doctor, you are a sensible man
ask you, is id right a single girl
should take de same medicine as a
married woman vid children?"
"Have you said your prayers?''

GOVERNMENT DEAF TO APPEAL
OF OHIO SUGAR DEALERS

WASHINGTON, Aug. 31.-Oficials
of the Department OF Justice turned a
deaf ear to an appeal presented by A.
P. Black, secretary to Senator Alice
Pomerene, of Ohio, on behalf of Ohio
wholesale and retail grocers who have
suffered heavy losses by the collapse
of the sugar market.
The appeal was signed by P. E. Tai
bolt, President of the Talbot Whole
sale grocery, of Middleport, Ohio, and
declared that Ohio grocers stand to
lose millions of dollars through the
slump unless the department inter
vened.
It suggested that they be protected
by the use of the s40,000,000 in the
hands of the Sugar Equalization board.
Department officials explained that
they had no authority to grant the re-
lief prayed for. Aside from the legal
restrictions, it was apparent that the
appeal did not arouse great sympathy.

president of the organization, who is
in the West with other farm bureau
leaders studying cooperative market

ganization among the farmers in the

remarkable growth in the central and

coast Mr.. Brown attended a meeting
at which more than 900 representative
farmers from Wyoming, Idaho, Wash
ington, Oregon. California, Utah, Arr
IONA and Montana took part in which
solid support and financial backing to
the American Farm Bureau federation
was pledged.
1t was pointed out by President
Brown, that, under the capable leader

national organization, S. l.. Strivings,
ce-president, and a coterie of able
assistants, the power and influence OF
the national organization of farmers is
being felt from Maine to California

result that the organization movement
has gained fresh impetus. All ar
engagements have been completed by
officers of the Indiana federation for
holding the national convention in In
