raising such a fine herd of cattle.

by the Ohio Farm Bureau Fedora
ton. The statement is based on fig
ures compiled by the u. S. Dept. OF
Agriculture which show that OF 1897
associations reported, more than ~
percent are in the IL North Central
states. The statement brings out
the fact that dairy associations are
not short lived organizations, that
organize one day and disband the
next. Reports show that S3.9 per-
cent of the associations have been in
operation five years or more, ana
that 58.2 percent have been in busi-
ness more than 10 years. -Four or
the associations have been in bust
ness more than so years and one
has been doing business at the same
stand for more than 60 years. The
wool clip in Ohio the past season
amounted to 14,300,000 pounds as
compared to 100000 pounds last
year, an increase of percent. The

Bartlett Academy Reunion


The fifth Bartlett Academy re-
union was held on the old grounds
Aug. 9. BY noon a goodly number
of former students ana their fami-
lies had gathered and the hand
shakes and "do YOU remembers
were evident on every side.
Each reunion brings some who
have not been here before, and thus
has increased the pleasure of those
who attend regularly.
After a sumptuous dinner, such as
always is provided by those who live
in and near Bartlett, an hour or so
was given over to personal greet
ings. Then we gathered in the old
academy, which has been made into
very pretty assembly hall and
there brief program was carried
out. The address of welcome was
given by President C. A. Williams,
of the class of 'S6. In most pleas
ing manner he welcomed all in the
name of the old resident students
and of the community. The response
was given by J. Arthur Edgerton
of Washington, d. c.. who for the
first time was atl -nding a reunion.
He told something of his work, of
his respect for the school and its in
fluence on his life, OF the love for
the old students. He also paid a
wonderful tribute to our dead presi-
dent, Warren g. Harding. His idea
of peace is that il WIFI come when
Christian ideals prevail

lows: "'The names of our COM
