Aetna Co. Appreciated
By Town. People
Support Of Carnival Signifie. This
Local Equipment Most
Up-to-Date

The people of Newark and vicinity
showed by their support of the
carnival of the Aetna Hose, Hook and
Ladder Company that they appreciate
the efforts of the local fremen TO
present first class fire protection.
The receipts for the week of the
carnival were over 81 900. 1t took a
lot of patronage to bring the amount
to this sum. There is hardly person
in Newark or immediate vicinity who
did not take part in the carnival by
at least attending.
Newark has one of the finest volun-
teer fire departments in the State, if
not the best since the installation of
the paid department in Wilmington.
The apparatus owned by the Aetna
Company is as good as money can
purchase and there are few towns the
size of Newark which can boast of
having two up-to-date fire engines.
Newark can do this. Either one of
the local engines is capable of COM
batting with the average blaze but the
local firemen will never be found lack
ing for should one engine go bad or
should the blaze warrant it there are
the two engines to throw into service.
This is one of the points where the
local company outscores the average
Eo,,vy, ~,
It costs money to maintain a fire
company Of this nature and in a great
part it is up to the people whom the
firemen protect to maintain the high
standard of the company. And the
people seem to realize this by the sup
port which they give the yearly
carnival Of the fremen.
The Aetna Company is at the pres
ent time building one of the most up
to-date frehouses on the peninsula
and it will be finished in a short time
and then the firemen will have a house
in comparison with its equipment.
The present frehouse is owned by
the town and is really not a desirable
housing place for such apparatus as
owned by the fire company.
The new structure will incorporate
all the latest ideas in u-to-date fire.
houses and will be credit to the town
and firemen.

Scotch Thrift

In a talk on thrift, banker told
a story about Scotch farmer who,
on frequent shopping trips in town,
would hitch his horse on Main street,
and having securely attached the feed
bag would lift hen from the wagon
and tie her with a stout cord to one
of the shafts, in such manner that
she would be able to pick up every
bit of the oats the horse might drop
while wrestling with the feed bag

ner's jury was held I'm Judge Days
office Saturday morning at 10
O'Clock to give their decision as
to what caused the death of Mrs.
Thersa Fenguyel Friday morning
at her home on N. Chapman st.
Prosecuting Attorney Matthews
spoke to the jury a short while
before they adjourned to render
decision. Although he said he did
not want to influence the decision
they would make, he did feel that
they should thoroughly understand
the fine points of the case from
beginning to end.
He showed the jury how abso-
lutely possible ii would be to
practically sever your own head
from your body with a razor as
did Mrs. Fenguyel with her hus-
bands. In making this demon
stration to the jury, Attorney
Matthews used the very same case
knife and razor that Mrs. Fen
guyel used in taking her life, both
weapons being covered with blood
just as they were picked up from
near the body Saturday. A nick
in about the middle of the razor
blade was explained by Mr.. Mat
thews as to have happened when
it struck the bone in her neck.
Speaking of the caseknife, he
said nobody but who was insane
would think of taking their life
with such a weapon. The knife
is extremely dull and unless great
pressure is used it can hardly be
made to cut, and after her first
attempt with the knife which only
made a slight wound, she must
then have opened the case con-
tanning the razor as her bloody
finger prints upon it prove and
completed the deed.
Attorney Matthews also told the
jury that to find the razor where
her husband usually placed it, a
person would have to be very fa-
miliar with the house, as only
four small children were home.
With the testimony of neighbors
as to their seeing no one enter the
house, there was practically no
clue indicating murder.
At this point the jury retired to
make their decision. After being
out five minutes a decision of sui
eide was reached and given to
Judge Day.
The jury was composed of the
following men: John Asford, w.
E. Hall, George V. Wright, M. w.
Southard. Frank Cute and Otto
Sprague.

VALUE OF FARMS IN THE U. S.

The average value of land and build
ings per acre of land in farms in the
United States in 1920 was S70.94, as
compared with $3.50 in 1910, says The
World Almanac in ist summary Of the
latest Federal Census.
The average value Of land and build
ings per farm for the United States as
a whole in 1920 was S10,5114, as COM
pared with S5,471 in 1910.
The average value Of farm in New
York state in 1920 was $3.50, as
against S6,732, in 1910; in New Jer-
sey, $10,499 (S7,610 in 1870; in Penn
sylvania, $3.50 s5,715 in 1910).
In the census reports 2 distinction is
made between farmers operating their
own land only, and farmers who hire
some and in addition to that which
they own. The former are classified
as "fuIl owners" and the latter as
part owners" The value of farms
operated by full owners in 1920 was
$40, TIT ,493 ,565 and Of those operated
by part owners, S9,156,810,001. The
corresponding figures for 1910 were;
Full owners, S117, 310, 639 ole, and part
owners, $5,056, 295, 262.

FILLED MILK BILL UPHELD
BY SUPREME COURT

The Wisconsin Filled Milk Bill was
upheld IN decision just handed down
by the State Supreme Court. 1t is a
great legal victory for the state, and
especially the dairy interests whose
combined efforts were originally re-
spOnsible for the enaetion of the filled
milk legislation.
The court upheld the law under
which Commissioner Q. Emery or
dered the production of filled milk
stopped, as valid 70 rthree reasons:
/. Because it prevents deception
and fraud
2. Because it protects the public
health.
8. Because it protects Wisconsin
markets.
According to Chris ]. Schroeder,
former secretary of the Wisconsin
Farm Bureau Federation, the move
ment against filled milk was started
by the Walworth, Waukesha and Rock
County Farm Bureaus. After a con-
ference at the state farm bureau late
IN 1920 steps were taken to secure the
united effort of the dairy interests of
the state which resulted in the intro
duction of first regulatory and later a
prohibitory bill in the Wisconsin legis-
lature
The so called "Filled Milk Bill was
passed early in the summer of 1921
and became effective in September of
that year. The Wisconsin Dairy and
Food Commission was prevented from
enforcing the law by an injunction
served on them by the Carnation Milk
Company.
The State through its Dairy & Food
Commission and the Attorney Gener-
ais Office carried the case to the Su-
preme Court with the result that the
bill was declared constitutional
Congressman J. d. Beck's first con-
gressiOnal act was to introduce a bill
in Congress, patterned afte rthe filled
cheese law of 1886 which taxed that
fraud out of existence, taxing the
filed milk industry out of business.
Congressman Beck's bill, now pending,
has the backing of Hoard's Dairyman,
tn eWisconsin Dairymen's Assn, the
College of Agriculture, the Wisconsin
Farm Bureau, the Dairy and Food
Commission, and others vitality inter-
ested in the dairy farmer.
Mr.. Murray of the Wisconsin Live
stock Commission called attention to
the above facts in his address to the
Guernsey breeders at Genoa two weeks
ago, and told them that Congressman
Beck was one of the few men in Con-
gress to whom the farmers went when
they wanted anything done, and urged
them to support him.

VERNON TAKES High
RANK IN DAIRYlNG

Between the valley of the beautiful
Kickapoo and the broad Mississippi.
where for countless ages, Indians roam,
ed in their hunting grounds, the white
man finally settled in the spring of
1874. The first settlements We're made
at Sterling Mounds, Bad AK, Brook
vile and Springville.
Always a very fertile spot, the ter
ritory now known as Vernon county,
was at first labelled the Bad AK coun-
ty from the river that winds among its
hills From its first settlement Yer
non developed rapidly. Drained by
the Bad AK, the Kickapoo and the
Mississippi, there is small wonder at
its great agricultural advantages.
laundering lasted short time A
mill was erected in 1S4S to take care of
the cutting.
Form Agricultural Society
Grains We're the first crop of the
county, but the progressive farmers
were quick to see the advantages of
improved methods. In 1857, the Bad
AK Agricultural Society, the first one,
was organized and chartered. A cat
tie exhibition was staged in connection
with its meeting in the fall of that
year. With that as foundation.
Vernon county developed along agri-
cultural lines until today she is in the
front rank in the state, dependent on
the soil and the dairy COW for her main
source of income, and her prosperity
The county is somewhat handicap
ped IN quantity competition with othre
counties, because of its relatively
smaller size, but even then it rings in
as the second tobacco county of the
state. And it produces very high
grade of tobacco. As a dairy county
It ranks high, with over 10000 content
ed cows munching its rich blue grass,
timothy and clover.
Other crops in which the county
ranks high are hay, oats, corn, barley
and some wheat, although the later
has decreased steadily with the for
ward march of the dairy COW.
Tn ecounty fed nearly AZ 900 hogs
on its pasture crops and corn in 1920
Many farmers have gone in for ped
