w. w. NELSON NOTES
CHANGES

William w. Nelson, one of our
respected citizens who though in
the possession of good health finds
the accommodating years marking
very distinctively the cycles of
time. A recent Sunday he went
to Kenton (from the vicinity of
which he married his two wives
and where he was a member of
church for many years. to wor-
ship and renew old associations. In
looking over the congregation and
the people who now compose the
community he did not find one who
was a member when he joined the
society in 1887. The same could
be nearly said of Smyrna. He was
converted when a resident of the
town in the great revival of 1929,
and joined the church. He knows
but one person whose membership
runs back that far, that of Mrs.
Sarah b. Mason. 1t is these COM
parsons more than anything else
that marks the lapse of time.

USED ANOTHERS
PASTURE LOT

A certain party has been making
quite free with j. II. jefferson S
pasture lot on East street of late
by using it as a night feed for his
horse He would turn it in about
eleven o'clock and take it out
about daybreak. Mr.. Jefferson was
thus informed by persons who had
seen it there a number Of times.
Acting on this advice, the lot was
visited early Monday morning, the
horse caught and put in his stable.
The next morning when the owner
went to look for his animal, 10, it
was gone. And then he talked
around loudly that someone had
stolen his horse from his stable
and he went in quest of an officer
and a search warrent. The case
was compromised in a bill of dam
ages for trespass, and the animal
is now enjoying other food, uncon-
scious it had in the least been vio-
lating the proprieties of property.

Farming With Machines
20 Times as Efficient

STATE COLLEGE, PA.-The ma
tion's farmers are finding much
more time for diversion from their
agrarian duties.
According to A. w. Clyde. asso-
ciate professor of agricultural engi-
neering at Pennsylvania State COL
lege, machinery has increased the
efficiency of the modern farmer as
much as 20 times.
With methods used at the turn of
the century, farmer had to expend
almost "a hours of labor to grow an
acre Of corn. Clyde said. With the
latest farm equipment, the farm
er can produce an acre of corn with
five hours labor.
The modern farm tractor has
done to today's agriculture follow
ers what the steel pillow did in the
Nineteenth century. Clyde asserted.
