THE SHORT COURSE Will be Held at Huntington —Great Opportunity For the Farmers. OF THIS LOCALITY About Fifteen Instructors From Purdue Will Deliver Lectures. Adams county farmers will not have to take the long ride to Lafayette this year to attend the annual short course, for the university is sending one to Huntington. Fanners from Adams. Allen, Blackford. Grant, Kosciusko. Miami. Wabash. Whitley and Huntington will co-operate in this course, and from present indications it seems that from 1,500 to 2,000 will attend. About fjfteen instructors will go to Huntington, carrying complete ap- ] paratus for demonstrating work in i agriculture, horticulture, dairying, animal husbandry and domestic science. The course will be in every sense as. complete as that given each year at i Purdue. In addition there will be! night lectures of a popular nature toi whic heach person enrolled in the, course will be admitted without ex-, tra charge. The demonstrating workj will be done largely, using products from the ten counties. In connection with the short course a monster corn, small grain and vegetable exhibit will be held. Premiums in cash amounting to considerably over S2OO will be given, besides leading firms in the United States are making contributions of their prod-* nets, the list of which is valuable. County Chairman C. S. Mumma is in charge of the work in this county j and he says he is meeting splendid enthusiasm. He desires the hearty co-operation of every person interested in this course. The price of a season ticket is SI.OO, which admits the holder to all of the benefits of the course. Since train connection with Huntington is so good the university hopes that the Adams county delegation' will be among the largest at the course. ATTENDED FUNERAL.

Carl Ernst, who is in very poor health. “Hike,” as he is known by j : many, suffered an attack of typhoid : fever for many weeks this fall, final-! ly recovering. He went to work again, but in about ten days suffered . a relapse, which has so weakened. \ him that his recovery is somewhat I doubtful. He has been in the southwest, railroauing a part of the time,' but later had purchased a team and 1 was employed by a large contractor and was doing well. His many . friends and acquaintances here will regret to learn of the fact that he is broken in health and hope he may be able to recuperate. While in the southwest Charles expects also to stop at Oklahoma City and see the legislature of that state 1 at work. ARE AT INDIANAPOLIS To Attend Meeting of State Trustees' Association.

ADVANCE OF LAND Is Shown by an Old Auditor’s Deed Sent Over by Alex Leßrun. WAS MADE IN 1858 Shows That the John P. Baker Farm Sold For $1.56 Per Acre. If some one was to offer John P. Baker, the well known farmer, who resides south of town, the measly sum of $1.56 per acre for any piece of his valuable and well Improved farm now, it is quite likely that within a few days that fellow would be facing a commission appointed properly to inquire into his sanity, and it seems incredible almost that such an I insignificant figure would have pur-; chased the land at any time since the 1 days when Mad Anthony Wayne led , his brave forces along this trail, but there is record that such is the fact and but little more than a half century ago. In going over his old papers, Alex Leßrun, formerly a resident here and now living at Gas City, recently found an old auditor’s deed , conveying the property to Jacob Bow-| er. At that time William G. Spcn- . cer was auditor, W. J. Addlesseprger ( , recorder and C. L. Schirmeyer was 1 . the county treasurer. The land was taken for the taxes of one Abraham Van Voorst, who owed four years’ 1 taxes, and the forty acres offered, a j part of section 21, Washington town- . I ship, sold for $5.20. The deed was . made In 1858, and shows that in 11834 the land was bought for $1.56 ! per acre. The price seems almost ' preposterous, but old settlers tell us ' that it was not far off for that time, for it was a common thing to buy land for three dollars an acre. Now, this same land is worth about $l5O ! per acre. Does the future hold such opportunities to become well-to-do? ; Mr. Leßrun sent the old papers here only to show the great advance in ■ the price of land. Alex sends greetings to his old friends here and says he is getting along nicely. o— GOOD NEWS FROM THE YOUTH’S COMPANION We have had to make the Youth's i Campanion larger to get in all the good things that Companion readers ought to have.

We would like to tell you what is In store for Companion readers next year. We cannot do it here, though; I there is not room.
