On the great main route between
Frankfort and Cologne. the little town

to the fact that General Mangin has

during the last 100 years, but for the
hustle and laughter of the periodic

to have fallen asleep. Through gently

dens which are a colored tangle OF
climbing geraniums and other flowers,
the traveller comes upon Koenigstein.

one of his messengers, the French
general, Meunier, surrendered to the
Prussians in 1892; here the French
returned four years later in triumph
only shortly after to destroy and then
abandon their little city encompassed
by its powerful walls, lest the ap-
preaching enemy should once more
intrench himself there. Today, in
times of peace, a great French soldier
walks beneath the shadow of the
fortress, while his men In their pic

STATES co. AGENTS
WILL MEET IN CITY;
WOOL RULES GIVEN

The next conference of the county
agents of the Sixth district will be in
the Wayne county courthouse in Rich
mond, Friday, June IS, at 10 a m. The
main topic will be the discussion of a
program of work for the county
agents T. A. Coleman, of Purdue uni
versity, and several assistants will be
present.
According to County Agent Murphy,
the farmers of Wayne county will be
greatly benefited by their recent de-
cision to pool their wool and ship 1t
i, to a Chicago warehouse and storage
company.
Mr. Murphy says that the profits
of middlemen and commission men
are eliminated and the wool is sold
direct to the wooden mills. The farm
ers will receive the price for which
the wool is sold less three cents per
pound, which covers the cost of stor-
age, grading. insurance and selling.
Farmers to Pay Freight
The farmers are to pay the freight
from the far to the warehouse and
from the warehouse to the wooden
mills. The wool is to be shipped in
regular wool bags holding 200 pounds.
The cost per bag will be about 81.
Prices are being secured on bags now.
A refund will be made to the farm
er for the bag. The refund amounts
to the original price of bag, less the
depreciation.
Indiana grows pra ctically the same
grade of wool as Illinois and an in
spection by County Agent Murphy
of Illinois wool marketing shows that
Illinois wool sells in nine different
grades. 'nois, Iowa and Wisconsin
consigned their wool last year to the
Chicago firm.

secretary the number of wool grow

attempt to impugn the integrity of
the committee was unfair as they
