A favorite place for the instrument

PARTY MAKES MOTOR
TRIP ACROSS ALPS

from DomodossoIa to Brigue, the John
ston party was detained for three
hours on the pass between the Swiss
and Italian side by a mistake in the
chauffeur's permit to take the auto
mobile from Italy into Switzerland
The driver returned to the city in an
other car about 1870 at noon, and re-
turned at quarter of four with the
permit. The Italian officers, speaking
French, Italian and German, and un-
derstanding no English, showed every
courtesy to the party We were in
formed that it was only the car they
were forced to hold, but if we wished,
which we did not, we could proceed
on foot. Two persons, however did
go up the pass two miles to a small
Swiss village where they purchased

With the return of the driver the
party proceeded. The day was I'M
usually clear and the view was very
fine across the mountains, some OF

cred with trees and mountain laurel.
At Baegue, q quaint Swiss village IN
the mountains, we spent the night at
hotel run by two young Swiss
French brothers, who open it every
summer, and another at Cairo, Egypt,
IN the winter. 1t seems to be custom
airy for Swiss hotel keepers to have
at least two, one of them frequently
in another country or more often at
some point popular among tourists
seeking winter sports. st. Moreitz is
one of the most notable of these.
The trip from Brigue was made

This was signed" to everything he
said over the wire and came to be as
familiar as his name, being used not
only on the wire but as a nickname
in personal conversation. Bessie
Burr, "BS", learned to throw the
Morse" when she was so small that
she had to stand up to the table to
reach the key. She was, later on,
operator at the Pennsylvania station
for several years. Her big brother
Frank, now building contractor, still
signs his old call "FB" to the letters
he writes me at intervals. Demas Coe,
3D., w P. Robinson, ~; DR.. A. B.
Price, ST, and Fred H. Lemon, I'm,
will remember their old calls, although
it has been many years since they
pounded the brass" on the Richmond
local. My own call was CO. and it
startles me even now to walk into a
railroad way station and hear the
sounder banging "G-G-G" Ny fingers
want to get hold of that key and shoot
in, ZIG, OK, GA.
The late DR.. A B. Porter, then
teacher of natural science in the Rich
mond high school, was one of the early
members. He gave us youngsters val
liable help in working out our circuits
and devising means for protecting the
instruments from the disastrous re-
suits of a crossed wire with the new
electric street railway trolley lines.
Several saunders went up in smoke
, before we realized the danger and
found the remedy. Professor John F.
Thompson was also a member for
some years and gave us great encour-
agement and assistance. Well do | re-
member the CONSERVATION one morn
| ing when he reported that the gravity
| battery under his instrument table
had gone off with report like a young
cannon during the night. If gravity
! batteries were prone to cut up such
nocturnal antics it looked like good
night indeed for a lot of us when our
| parents heard about it. Later exam
ination disclosed that the oak top of
| the instrument table had split from
end to end, choosing the middle of the
night for the noisy parting.
Pleasant Custom
One pleasant custom on the old line
was the good night and good morning
greetings. Some member, when the
sandman came along, would quietly
open his key and say "GN'', signing
his call Some one else down the
| line, ready to call it day, would re.
spond in like manner Often this
would string out to half a dozen and
more. On Christmas eve nearly every
one on the line, it seemed, stay.d
close to the instrument as the mid
night hour approached, and, with the
stroke of IL on the sounder from the
big regulator clock, there would be a
jolly scramble to break in with the
first Merry Christmas" and sign the
| call.

into Richmond from Chesterfield, the
final connection was made and the
pressure turned On at a standpipe JUS

(By Associated Press)

COLUMBUS, Ohio, July 24-The
Tom Corwin Farm, near Coalition, Jack
son county, has been selected as the
summer meeting place of the State
Horticultural society this year. The
meeting will be held Wednesday,
Aug. 16.
Last summer the association met at
the Thornburg orchards, near Ashland,
in northern Ohio. The Corwin site
has been selected this year, IT was
said, not only because it is located in
a different part of the state, but be-
cause it includes an extraordinarily
fine four hundred acre planting of
apples and peaches, most of the trees
being between seven and eight years
old.
The early part of the meeting day
will be spent in a tour of the orchards,
with w w. Elwood, farm manager,
telling of the history of the various
paintings and giving observations on
their growth under diverse cultural
handling.
In the afternoon, regular program
will be given in the loft of u large
barn lately erected on the property, ac-
cording to specifications furnished by
agricultural engineers of the State uni
versity. This barn is of the new,
beamless type. The loft floor is 135
feet long and SO feet wide, and is en-
tirely unobstructed by uprights or
cross-beams.
DR.. G. A. Bingham, of Cleveland,
president of the society, will report on
tour of the apple growing regions
of the Pacific Northwest, where he
now is travelling F. H. Ballou, OF
Newark, will give the results of 4 per-
sonal survey of fruit conditions in
Ohio. Other speeches are being
arranged.
At the end of five years of faithful
bookkeeping, % Huron county farmers
have turned their accounts over to
rural economists of the Ohio State
university for analysis. The findings
have been made public through M. M
Phillips, county agricultural agent
Footed up and averaged the books
show that 1919 was the best year OF
the five in point of total farm receipts
The average net cash income for q
farm this year was $2,279. But by
1921, receipts dropped off an average
of 40 percent, while operating eX
penses had decreased by barely hall
that much, and if these men had
charged the farm for their labor dur
ing the year. none would have made
five percent on their investment, the
figures showed. These conditions
however, are believed by the econom
lists who made the compilation to be
largely thing of the past.
The five farms that made the most
money during the five years on which
the accounts were kept, are put in q
separate class in the report, and theil
practices and methods are compared
with those of the less successful farms
As was found in all previous studies
by the economists, the farms making
the highest net profits, were those

with the highest average yields and
having the greatest amount of good
live stock.
Moreover, the books show that
farmers who bought the most fertiliz-
er made the most money. The five
best farms paid out an average of
S183 an acre per year for fertilizer;
the others expended only Slab an acre
for this purpose.
Livestock, totalling $1.047, 955.05 in
net market value, was sent to the ter
minal markets through the co-opera-
tive livestock shipping companies of
Ohio during June( according to tabu-
lations just completed by the live
stock marketing department of the
Ohio Farm Bureau federation. More
than $500 individual live stock pro-
ducers used the service in the so
county companies and two locals re-
porting.
These shipments were composed OF
41,357 hogs, 1897 cattle, 4,048 calves
and S,183 sheep that made up in mar
ket weight 10,712,113 pounds and went
to market on 727 car floors.-- The total
marketing expense. exclusive Of
shrinkage, was &c cents per hundred
weight.
