There are a number Of our farmers
camping this week on the Emmett
farm southwest of Centerville," said
Cashier Steffanson Of the bank at
Pershing. This spot seems to be
popular camping place, said he. Right
now Will Dryer, Carl Hunnicutt, Hiram
Doddridge and H NJ. Jones are in the
party at. the farm camp, and l suppose

We are told that the elevator at
Pershing recently shipped out 1000
bushels of wheat, leaving $4,000 bush
els in store, which it is proposed to
hold, awaiting developments, as 1t is
felt that some of these days there will
be a bull market and higher prices.
Farmers in the Pershing section have
marketed quite a number of hogs in
the past ten days.

Milton, has returned from his vacation
trip by motor to as far as Traverse

Mrs. Titman and the children and re-
ports having a fine trip and of seeing
a lot of good country in his travels.
But it was not all prosperous look
ing country where bountiful crops were
growing" said he. "In fact, conditions
are deplorable in some of the corn
fields of northern Indiana, where the
heat and drouth has about ruined a lot
of corn, some of it being brown and as
dry as finder The farther you travel
from home the more you appreciate

Titmans opinion, who says that he
{! saw no better country or better crops
