If you are not famil- 1 iar with this work, your county agent I can give you the information. Al Torrenga, of Fort Wayne, joined his wife and children here in a visit at the Balsma home. They came a week ago and while here the children became ill so that they were unable to return home. Harry Hastings, St Louis, boarding a street car, felt a negro’s hand in his pocket He recovered hie money and invited the negro to ride with him, reproving him. Hastings again missed his wallet two minutes after his guest disembarked. A pure-bred Hereford calf which Is being fed by Charles Hendry, a member of the Newton county calf club, gained an even 100 pounds in January or 3.2 pounds a day on a ration of corn, oats, barley, oil cake, hay and

The W-8 basket ball team will play against the Rayls at Concordia college Wednesday night, thia being the preliminary to the big game, the T. O. P. team who meet the Oswego, N. T., world champions. The W-8 team is fast but will probably be handicapped by the fact that Ishmael Macy, their star center who is teaching in Hartford township will not be with them. Notwithstanding the withdrawal of all remaining special regulations governing dealers in eggs and cold storage warehousemen, these dealers, and warehousemen are still subject to the general food regulations and will Continue so, as long as the food control act is in effect, which will be until the formal proclamation of peace.

shows that E. W. Foster, of near Bed- n ford, who kept records on his poultry H last year and followed the sugges- * tions of the university poultry spe- j clallsts, had the largest production of £ a large number of such farms in In- ’ di ana. His hens laid an average of ( 146 eggs each during the year which i is more than 50 alxive the average 1 Hoosier hen. They made a profit of ■ $422.99. < During the week agitation for an immediate lifting of restrictivte freight rates on buildng materials . has been most determined. Representatives of the sand, gravel, stone and slag industries, and the cement manufacturers have appealed to the division of public works and construction development of the department of labor for assistance in tho presentation of their case before the railroad administration. Many of the contractors and builders reporting to the department of labor insist freight rates, more than any other factor, are holding back the more extensive building projects, especialy in the central west. They submit that if there is to be an early resumption of general building and construction work, freight rates on sand, gravel. 1 slag and cement, must be reduced and such shipping restrictions as > were inaugurated to prevent the <ll- - versions from war use of building I; must be withdrawn. -I Hom William M. Calder, United J States senator from New York, speak- • • lag before the builders’ organization - in Baltmore, Md., recently, urged the ■ resumption of building activities throughout the country as the proper ! way to stimulate business. The New [ York senator emphasized the sound- ! ness of America and the certain pros- , parity ahead, submitting there is no ! good reason why builders should refrain from getting projects under way immediately. On the building and business situation, Senator Calder said: “The building industry is one { of the most important in the union. It always seemed to me that it was really important for it has to do I with the construction of homes in ' which our people live, the place.; of ' business in which men and women are offered an opportunity to earn 8 a livelihood, and then, too, our public a buildings, churches, great art galleries and great institutions of learning F and places of amusement. It always I- seemed to me that ot was a funda9 mental business and the men who ’• were engaged in it came only after those who till the soil and produce a the things that keep people alive, h . o > PUBLIC SALE. it I will sell at public sale at my barn S In Ossian, Ind., on Thursday, Feb. 27, 1919, the following personal property: Horses, 15 Head: One match team f of sorrel geldings, 4 years old, weight '• 2900, extra good blocky horses, well .. broke; dark chestnut sorrel mare, 5 years old, weight 1550, sound and 8 well broke; sorrel mare, 12 years e old, weight 1500; sorrel gelding, comi- ing 4 years old, white face, light tail . and mane, weight about 1300; brown II horse, 8 years old, weight 1500; pair e of mares, 5 and 8 years old, sound, i- well broke double and single, weight 1300; red roan mare, 9 years old, weight 1400, broke single and dou- ” ble; bay horse, 10 years old, weight 1400; gray horse, 11 years old, >. weight 1600; brown mare, 9 years . old, weight 1200; Inline driving mare, bright bay, 4 years old, weight 1170. 9 extra good driver, broke double and 1 single, and will work any place; sore rel horse, 4 years old, weight about 1500, well broke, gray horse, 8 years ■' old.
