SAME ORGANIZATION
 FOR MEN AND WOMEN
Directors of Indiana Federation
 Believe Working Together Is Necessary.

The directors of the Indiana Fed
 eration of Farmers Associations real ize that the organization can never
 fulfill the possibilities that lie be-
 fore it without the support and CO operation of the farm women. The
 close partnership existing between
 the farm home and the farming busi
 ness makes working together ab-
 sOlutely necessary if the full value O1 the organization is to be realized. As set forth in the constitution of the Indiana Federation of Farmers as sociations, it is the purpose of the association to protect the economic business, educational, legislative and social interests of the farmers of the state, and when these phases of the work are being considered, it neces sarily involves the activities of the farm women. The Indiana directors believe that it is not necessary to have separate organization, dupli- cation of officers, or anything of that kind, but merely the united effort ot farm men and women in the same or ganization.
 In Indiana it has been arranged so that a farmers wife daughter, where there is already one fully paid
 
 come a member of the local township, county, state and national organiza- tion with the payment of S2.5O an. nually. This fee is divided up with $1 for the county or township. $1 for the Indiana Federation of Farmers; Associations and 90 cents for the American Farm bureau. This plan of organization was worked out at a state meeting of farm women held in Indianapolis. with the recommend ations that committee of farm wom- en, one representing each of the ten federation districts, be selected to suggest such additions to the progress of work of the state organization as would take in the interests of the farmer from all angles, as outlined above, in a way that would enlist the interest and cooperation of the en- tire community. This committee of ten in their recommendations pro- vided for the increased interest in so- cial activities of the community with a special educational and health pro- gram.
 Although the total enrolment of farm women members in the Indiana Federation of Farmers Associations has not reached large numbers as yet, still the interest is growing rapid. l ly and where aroused to the needs | and conditions, they are willing to give their time and talents along with the men, to establishing an organiza. tion whose object is to insure a more | permanent, stabilized and profitable l agriculture for the generations to | come, which means the essentials for | the establishment of home and com. | munity life of the highest type.

TRANSPORTATION BY TRUCKS
As Rates Are Higher Only Advantage Is That Farmer Is Enabled to
 r Ship Any Time.

Transportation of farm products by truck has many disadvantages. accord ing to study of the situation made by the transportation department of the American Farm Bureau federation
 C. B. Hutchings, traffic manager who has been conducting the investf- gation, says: "In general the rates by motor truck are much higher than those for similar distances by railroad The only advantage in shipping live stock by truck into the market is that it enables the farmer to send his stock at any time regardless of whether he has a carload or not. If he belongs to a cooperative shipping association then there seems to be very little ad- vantage for the motor truck
 So far as the effect upon the roads and taxes is concerned there seems to be an almost unanimous agreement that the heavy trucks commercially operated are the principal factors in destroying good roads. The effect isf. of course, most noticeable upon dirt roads and the greatest. complaint comes in from commnnities where they have dirt roads only"

SAM SURELY MISJUDGED MULE
LibeIous to Gall Animal Blind When Its Only Fault Was Absolute
 Lack of Fear.

Nose was trying to sell Sambo a mule. The mule was lying on the floor of the barn. "I doan' wan no daid mule,'' said Sambo.
 He ain't daid,' said Nose; and with his whip he forced. the mule to a standing posture. But Sambo re- mained cold on the proposition.
 "Ah see he ain't daid.' said SambO. ''But he kain't run, an An done wants a mule as runS.
 Nose, thus challenged, with vigor- ous kick so energized the mule that away it went, running down the street, with marvellous speed.
 But Sam's delight at the activity of the mule was short-lived, for bang, the mule ran head-On into a tree. s.
 "Fo' de lord" exclaimed Sam, ''he ain't daid; he kin run, but he's blind. An, doan' wan no blind mule.''
 What's dat you say?" cried Nose. You all calls a mule like dat blind? Why, 1ordy, lordy, boy, dat mule ain't blind. He jes doan' give whoop!' Judge.

FIGHT TAX-FREE SECURITIES
Nothing but Ravens for Wealthy Who Wish to Escape Paying Their -
 Proportion:

'Tax-free securities :. are nothing more or less than havenss for the rich .who wish to invest their money and ' escape paying their proportion of the expenses of the government" said H.: c. Mckenzie, tax expert of the Amer ican Farm Bureau federation, recently commenting upon the house resolution ! introduced by Representative Green of Iowa which would do away with all tax-free federal bonds. "People with large incomes who formerly lent large sums on farm mortgages have entirely retired from this field of investment owing to the fact that a 5 per cent tax-free bond will give them as much income as the income from a 10 per cent taxable mortgage.
 ''The annual loss in taxes to the federal government is at least S6OO, 100000 per year, according :U Profes- sor SeIigman of Columbia university. In addition states having income tax laws lose a very large amount. The net result is to increase the taxes on all other property. The last report of the New York state tax commission shows that while 9 per cent of the incomes of the people of the state comes from real propeftSi TO per cent of the taxes are paid from this Source"

HAD TO MAKE FULL ROUND
Clergyman Who Wanted to Test Vir- tues of the TreadmiII Given Full
 Opportunity.

A BritiSher tells a story of mem Der of the clergy who took too large a mouthful on one occasion.
 He was visiting the county jail and eNpiated to a friend who was with him on the virtues of the treadmill. Warming up with his theme, he de clared that he often wished he had one at home to give him the gentle exer- else he required, and to remove his friends skepticism, he asked the warden to give him a turn.
 Round went the wheel, the clergyman declaring that the movement was de- ightful but after two minutes he had had enough and desired the officer to stop the mill. To his horror the off cer answered:
 'Very sorry, sir, but I can't. It's timed to go 15 minutes and won't stop"

Among the straphangers was woman who, not being pleased with the service she was receiving, was trying in a roundabout way to induce a certain man to give up his seat.

 The man referred to, feeling that forbearance had, ceased to be a vir- tue, turned to his tormentor: ''Do you think a woman should vote like a man?' he asked

WORK FOR IMPROVED
 VARIETIES OF WHEAT
Farm Bureaus in Ohio Join With Seed Association and MiIlers
 for Higher Qualities.

Farm bureaus in number of coun- ties in Ohio have been working with the Ohio Seed Improvement assocfa- tion for some time in the improve nent of their varieties of wheat Now they are joining with millers in pro- noting these same wheats and also to improve flour mflled from Ohio wheatS.
 Those in this work have been en- deavoring to get the farmers to grow Trumbull, Portage, Gladden. and other improved wheatS from the standpoint of increased yield per acre. EXperi- ments recently completed have proven that these wheats are superior in milling qualities to the common wheatS grown in Ohio. Millers in a number of sections are willing to try out these wheats and are paying a premium for improved wheats be-

cause of the better milling qualities. Farmers elevators are keeping these wheats separated from common wheats so that they can sell in car load lots. A large quantity of i'm proved variety wheat that failed to pass certification standards for seed purposes are available for this pur- pose this year.
 On a number of the '-wheatf1eld tours" boosting improved seed wheat, samples of bread from flour made from different kinds of wheats were passed around among those pres ent. In all cases they agreed that the four from the improved wheats made the best bread. In one CO., operative experiment, women who were leaders in projects in their re- spective townships were called in for demonstration. Eight different women made bread from two kinds of f1our-that made from Trumbull and that made from Red Wave wheat. In each case the bread made from Trumbul1 wheat flour was superior.

In fact, they had breakfast when it was dark. You see, they wanted to start as soon as 1t was daylight and they wanted to travel all day long in the automobile and then reach the place where they were going by the time night came.
 Well, it was very strange, indeed, to eat oatmeal and to drink milk before the day had come. Not but what Teny had had milk to drink when it was dark, but she had never before had breakfast before daylight.
 They started just at daylight and they went along in the automobile and saw very few people.
 The hills were dark and cloudy at first and then they became bright and sunny and oh, how wonderful were some of the great ridges of mountains and hills which they passed. There were so many, huddled together. in so cosy and friendly a fashion.
 Teny saw a COW giving another COW a nice friendly lick which was the cows way of giving a morning kiss.
 Then she looked about her and it seemed as though she saw some noun tainS right up in the clouds and she wondered if the Cloud Fairies and the Blue Mountain Top Fairies were hay ing a party.
 They passed the tiniest little brook scarcely more than a pool-but it was very blue and very bright for a little of the blue sky was reflected in the pool.
 That's so nice," said Teny. "That just goes to show you how fine a big thing is.
 ''Now the sky is big as big can be. but the sky is ready to make a pretty reflection in little bit of a brook. Now a small thing would feel the brook was beneath it's notice.
 "Of course it's a compliment to the brook, and I'm sure the brook appre- ciates it, for the brook really does seem to smile !'
 They passed many birds, cat birds. goldfnches, oh, ever and ever so many birds and some of them called across the brooks to each other and from tree top to tree top or from one part of the lawn to another.
 They saw ever so many waterfalls. And some came down from the tops of the hills and the mountains.
 Teny saw a sandpiper bird and an indigo bird and oh, so many others, as I've said.
 And how she loved the rushing, sparkling brooks they passed. The brooks seemed to be in such a hurry, and yet they hurried along in so bril- liant and beautiful a fashion.
 If some creatures hurried like that" Teny thought, they would look so unattractively, but not the brooks. They dance and sparkle more than ever as they hurry over the pebbles"
 They passed lots of hens and many roosters, and many, many cows.
 Most of the cows were lying down, though a good many were walking or strolling around, chewing or idly gag ing about out of their soft, big eyes.
 Sometimes a COW got up as though just deciding to take walk, but it was wonderful to see how little they hurried.

Teny was very
 glad, toO to think that she had been out during a whole day from day break to night-fall. for she felt that never before had she seen Mother Natures children so steadily so as to become such friends with them.
 Yes, the ride, the long, long ride was beautiful one. And, of course, from time to time there were delicious picnic meals. I hope you didn't think Teny starved. all day. Gracious, no ,She had a banana: almost as: soon as she started-and ,thes meal kept up. for every one felt hungry out-of-doors. . '- s-t-s t'R f -t. ' F.
