THE OPERATION FAD
BY WALT MASON

When something hurt our we'll
known dads. the doc prescribed his
pills, or liniments, or liver pads, or
compound juice or squills; but now
he'd take his saw or adZe, to cure us
of our ills. There was some sense IN
being sick in brave old days like those,
for then the tired and footsore hick
in illness found repose; what time the
doctor. summoned quick, prescribed
the proper dose. | often sought the
village doc. when l had ache or smart
and he would give me pills of chalk
that nearly broke my heart; but never
did this healer talk of rending me
apart. He gave ten drops Of melted
wax-much virtue in it lies; and stuff
that tastes like carpet tacks, and pills
of giant size; but never did he shake
an axe before my shrinking eyes. But
now when to the doc l trot, because of
ache or pain, he prods me in the ten
der spot, and says that pills are vain;
he wants to lay me On cot, and split
my form in twain. H says, "Oh, thun-
der!" and ooh, pshaw!" when l old
methods name; he says there ought to
be law against that ancient game. he
wants to take his cross cut saw, and
push it through my frame. I have
about hundred ills and cannot have
them healed, because, while l will
swallow pills, | won't be sliced or
peeled; l won't be cured of mumps or
chills by tools the surgeons WELD.

Governor McCray's Message

In his first message to an Indiana legislature,
Governor McCray emphasizes two highly import
ant principles upon which he hopes to base the
success of his administration. One of them is
an efficient and business-like conduct of the af
fairs of the state and the other is rigid economy
He appears before the Indiana public
business man who has taken over the manage
ment of gigantic concern. The responsibility
of that management is duly appreciated by the
incoming governor. He has few recommended
tons for legislation to make to the general as
sembly, acting on the theory that the enactment
of few major pieces of legislation that have
real merit in so far they will benefit the whole
state is preferable to the passage of scores of
laws that will merely increase the number on the
statute books.
He advises the legislature to be careful in
voting appropriations, although he does not want
them to be niggardy in refusing money for pur-
poses that are essential and VITAL Governor Nc
Cray wants the state institutions provided with
enough money that they can fulfill the func-
lions for which they were created. Indiana
should be a leader in education, he believes.
His views on the state tax law, the primary,
the budget system and road improvements are
repetitons of the statements which he made
when he was asking the people to elect him to
be governor.
Governor McCray begins his administration
with the best wishes of the vast majority of the
voters of Indiana. He was elevated to office by
large vote of the men and women of the state.
They believe he has the essentials required of a
good executive and they are confidently looking
to him for the fulfillment of his prediction
promises and for the enactment of progressive
and substantial legislation.

SHANGHAI, Jan. 11.-By means OF
the hydroslide, which the British used
successfully in Mesopotamia during
the war. another effort and one wholly
novel to China is to be made to con-
quer the rapids of the Yangtsze
gorges. At places there the current
attains a velocity of more than 80
miles an hour.
The ordinary head of navigation for
steamers on the Yangtsze is at Ichang.
a thousand miles from the coast, but
Szechueu, China's most populous pro-
vince. and one of its richest, lies near
ly 400 miles further up the river, be-
yond the wild bandit-ridden country of
the gorges.
Requires Special Vessels.
Steamer navigation by means of
specially constructed vessels of high
power is possible for seven months of
the year. In the other five months
products from Szchuen and Tibet, and
imports up-river are carried by native
junks. Boats bound up river common
ly are laboriously dragged by hundreds
of coolies.
The use Of the hydroslides on the
upper Yangtsze is the enterprise of
French company with headquarters in
Shanghai. A number of these craft
were sent up the Yangtsze from
Shanghai in December for trial runs.

Excellence in Corn Growing

Among the Purdue awards for excellence in
growing last year is one that won by
Joseph Helms, one of Wayne county's farmers
who has been interested in corn culture for many
years. His knowledge of the excellent points
about corn and the proper methods to obtain in
creased yields have resulted in his selection as
corn judge in many contests. The recent honor
conferred upon him by Purdue university brings
distinction to him and to the county in which he
resides
w. H. Baker, of Greene county, won the cham
pionship medal in the five-acre contest of 1920:
He won the medal in 1919, too. His average in
1920 was 1888 bushels to the acre. The average
yield in Indiana was 4O.5 bushels to the acre. The
average acre yield of the 40 men who took part
in the contest was 81 bushels, or twice the aver
age state yield.
A farmer who succeeds in obtaining an in
creased yield to the acre of any crop is bene-
factor to the community in which his farm is
situated. He proves that the land is capable of
greater production if it is titled correctly and if
proper methods of handling the particular crop
employed.
Every increase which the agriculturist is able
to obtain from the soil without depicting it's fer
tility is as much step forward as is the success
full application of an efficiency system in in
dustry by which a greater output is obtained
with the same labor and from the same tools.
Farmers are beginning to look upon their en-
terprises as business ventures and are initiating
the owners of industries in adapting and apply
ing approved methods to obtain results with the
same labor from the same number of acres. The
application of these methods is raising the farmer
to new level in his own industry. He is still a
tiller of the soil, but he is also business man,
keenly on the alert to discover methods of
procedure and watchful against leaks that de-
crease his income.
Through his organizations, he is obtaining an

foundlander. As years of age. He was
born at Brigus, Newfoundland, Aug.
is, 1875. He began explorations %
years ago, wintering with Peary in
the Kane Basin in 1897.
He commanded the Roosevelt in it's
famous trip of 1905, reaching the SSth
parallel.
He was with the Canadian govern
ment arctic expedition in 1884; his
vessel was crushed by the ice, and
Bartlett, with II others, reached
Wrangel Island.
He left Is there, and with one Es-
kimo crossed to Siberia on the ice and
returned with a rescuing party.
He is one of the best known arctic
explorers in the world.

analysis of market conditions, of COSTS of advan-
tageous buying methods, and Of successful mar
keting He is making his influence felt in finan-
cial circles and in the legislative halls. A new
era has dawned for agriculture and the farmer is
not slow to take advantage of it.
The results announced by Purdue university
in the growing contest are indicative of this
new spirit. He is determined to make the nation
respect both his industry and his place in it.
The institute to be held here soon will reveal
the forward looking spirit of Wayne county
farmers.
