The second and closing day of the farmers' institute being held at Berne tar surpassed any previous gathering in this line at that place, and the interest which was shown by those in attendance today was fully appreciated by the committee in charge, and Berne is highly elated over the fact that they were favored with this meeting and would on any future occasion welcome a return of the same. A new organization for the carrying on ol the work in and but of the meeting was made at the business session, which followed the program immediately preceding adjournment, including the election of a president, secretary and treasurer, as aobve named. C. S. Mumma, president of the county organization, arrived at the Men nonite church Monday afternoon, where the assembly is holding forth, and gave his support in whatever way he was called upon. One of the speakers of today was J. F. Frigg of Daleville, who spoke on The Breeding and Feeding of Hogs.' and at some length explained the many facts which should be considered if the farmer wished to realize a good profit from the heavy daily work which is required for the making of this part of the farm work a success. His address in afternoon on “Feeders and Cattle Feeding," was another dee]) problem which he unfolded to his audience, and which proved to be as highly interesting and to their advantage as the one of the toifnoou. E. M. Wagner, the well known best sugar man, whose presence is at all time sought, his talk ireing on the raising or sugar beets, was another speaker of the day, and he dwelt for some time upon the agricultural part of the l>eet raising, the nature of the plant and what is required for a good, healthy, solid growth. He also spent some time upon the profits of beet raising and that, if properly attended to. no other product could yield more profitable results than the sugar beet. Mr. Wagner's talk was listened to with intense interest, and a thorough knowledge in this I’ne was given them during the time allotted to him. With a good attendance on hand, but not so large as it would have been had the weather been more favorable the first day's session of the farmers’ institute of the south half of the county was carried out as outlined, and from the start bid well of a much larger crowd tor today, from the great interest which was mannested by those present and which proved to be so, as today showed for itself. The Honorable L. C. ('lore of Frankfort was the principal speaker for the opening day, and left deeply pressed upon the minds of his many auditors the great work which is necessary for the accomplishment wished in the country home, and the untiring efforts which have to prevail if such is to be reached. His address in the afternoon was as equally interesting and there is no doubt left in the minds of those who had the pleasure of hearing Mr. Clore that what he told them was the truth, and from one who has spent years in making the farm life just what it should be, and how little of it is to be found this present day. A RUNAWAY. A runaway occurred on the main thoroughfare Monday evening, when a team being driven by a young man named Buffenbarger, started on Fourth street and ran through the streets to the north city limits. Nothing was broken or damaged, the driver keeping his head, and the team in the road.

I FORD VANADIUM STEEL CARS I 1 I a II : i They say are too light, consider with us whether they are too weak. Wehavechown you that the pulling limit of soft steel is 40000 pounds per , square inch, and Vanadium Steel heat-treated 220000 pounds per square inch. , Ford’s emergency brake rod is 546 inch in diameter. It has a pulling strain on it. Suppose it to be of soft steel and same strength what should be its diameter? Does the above not show you the Vanadium Steel to be 5.5 times the strength of soft steel? ( The Area of a 5-16 bar is .0767 square incnes, multiplied by 5.5 gives. 42185 square inches which when reduced to ? diameter is nearly 3-4 of an inch. ■ Did you ever see an automobile with a 3-4 inch emergency brake rod on it, > or was that on a locomotive?
