81 viii .a,no1 r Farm Name


How many farmers who has nam.
ed their farms have done so legally
Merely to put the name on the barr
is not enough to establish the name
in the eyes of the law.
According to an Iowa law on the
subject, any owner of a farm in
the state may have his farm name
together with the description of his
lands to which the name applies, re-
corded with his county recorder on
a register kept for that purpose.
This will protect the name from
duplication within the county, but
not outside the county.
The county recorder is required to
give the owner a certificate bearing
the name and description of the
farm. If the entire farm is sold,
the name(may go with the title, but
if only part of it is sold, the name
is not transferred unless the deed
expressly states otherwise.
A fee of 81 is charged for regis
tration of the name, while cancella-
ton of it costs a fee of % cents.
To cancel, the owner must sign a
written statement relinquishing all
rights to the name. The law enables
farmers, as other business men, to
establish trade name and to pro-
tect it at trifling cost.

Some consider a divorce but de.

The thing for the courts to do
when they get motor car thieves
and find them guilty is to give them
the limit of the law" insists the
Sioux City Journal. "Paroling motor
car thieves is the worst thing that
can be done, and light sentences are
about as bad. This type of criminal
never will behave until society thru
the courts hits hard straight from the
shoulder. If that is kept up long
enough it will stop it practically al
together"

The drillers at Bake Lease No. l,
are now down over 2,1OO feet, and as
they put it getting into real stuff.
The deeper they go the better the
prospects look. The quality of soil
they are getting into now is very
encouraging and they expect a good
strike most any time.

There was meeting of represen-
tative farmers of jefferson County at
the court house in Charles Town last
Saturday afternoon for the purpose
of organizing the Jefferson County
Farm Bureau. 1t was addressed by
Mr.. Vandevoort, of the West Virginia
Extension Department. 1t was unan-
imously decided to circulate a petit
ton to get sufficient members to Sc
cure County Agent. There were a
goodly number of farmers present,
who signed the petition. Several
from each Magesterial district were
appointed to circulate the petitions.
The County Farm Bureau will be-
come a member of the State and Ma
tional Farm Bureau Federation,
which is doing great work to help
the farmers and get their side of eco
nomic questions before the public and
Congress, and maintain the strongest
Reorganization in the National Capital
to look after the interest of the far
mer. 1t is to the interest of every
Jefferson County farmer to join.A
Farm Bureau, to be affective and to
be of proper benefit to the farmer,
must have a County Agent to coop
crate with it, and it is hoped that our
farmers will sign these petitions in
sufficient numbers and secure one.

JANUARY REPORT OF NURSING
SERVICE.

The heavy snow storms during the month
which made the roads nearly impossible
also disturbed our plans for work in the
county schools, SO that only Ransom, Me-.
chanisctown and Rippon were reached, but
it happened that there were Gals for bedside
nursing care.
The cases treated numbered nine and they
were given care in Al visits to homes and
eight treatments.
Only three schools were visited with
total of lit pupils examined. Among these
81 new defects were found, and 35 old de-
fects were found to be improved or correct
ed from total of 85. All those showing
abnormal conditions were again advised to
consult their physicians, dentists or special
ists, according to their needs, and SO to
follow up visits were made to the homes.
A small group of eight mothers ventured
forth with their babies to the child welfare
conference. 1t is planned to continue hold
ing these conferences on the End and 4th
w Wednesday afternoons of each month.
Infant welfare visits to homes numbered
81 and 20 were made to prenatal school
children. There were also three prenatal
visits and one to tuberculosis patient.
Our agreement with the Metropolitan
Life Insurance Company. to give visiting
nursing care to their policy holders in
of sickness, continues and we have had
several of their cases this month for which
the company will reimburse this chapter.

But the helpful spirit of mankind
With unselfish vision see it
