FOR THE FARMERS * I. - -. Items of Interest to the Fanners of Adams County. (Dy tho County Agent) There are farmers in Adams county who raise corn as good as can ho found anywhere in the state. Wouldn’t It be pos.dble to spend a day or so between now and January 10 in picking out ten good ears of corn to exhibit at th' 1 state corn show, which Is to be held in connection with the short course A day spent in this sort ot work wbuid be very instructive, as practice in the selection of seed cotn Is tho best kind of teaching. Even though farmers in this county tnay think it us.eh'HS to attempt to compete in the state corn show, sometimes crize tiro won uni xpectedly, and lie sides a few exhibits from tills county would he an excellent advertisement. If anyone wishes to exhibit but cannot make arrangements to attend the short course, arrangements can b made at the office to take the corn down. Proper Sewage Disposal Needed; Methods Described in Bulletin. "A cess-pool is a tank, built in the ground with wood, brick or concrete walls, and with no bottom. The sew age is discharged into this tank and the liquid gradually seeps away. Such a tank cannot be too highly condemned,” says R. B. Wiley, professor of sanitary engineering in the school of civil engineering at Purdue University, in a bulletin by him on “Sewage Disposal for Residences and Small Institutions.” “No purifying action whatever takes place in a cess-pool and it must he cleaned out frequently,” he continued. “The ground around becomes highly polluted.” Prof. Wiley, in the bulletin No. 6, just off the press of the Engineers Experiment Station, describes and shows photographs with drawings of septic tanks which provide for sanitary sewage disposal on the farm. Fie also describes and has drawings for the Imhoff or Emscher Tank a "two story” tank which is more difficult to construct. However, it is more satisfactory than an ordinary septic, tank, says Prof. Wiley, and will do especially for schools and other places where a number of peo- j

It Is of value not only to farmers and others who are planning construction of septic tanks, but ‘ also to country clubs, school authorities and others interested in central meeting places uwuy from towns or cities where there are no sewer systems and where sewage disposal is a problem. Pure Bred Aberdeen-Angus Grand Champion Steer. Black Ruler, graud champion steer of the International Live Stock Exposition was a pure bred Aberdeen-An-gus, bred and fitted by Purdue University, LuFayette, Indiana. He weighed 1,340, was calved October 18, 1918, and ■told for $1.75 a pound. What is especially remarkable about the Purdue university Aberdeen-Angus herd is .hat as a pure-bred herd it cost but little above beef prices and is one of I the greatest herds of beef cattle in th< world, having turned out three international grand champions of the Black breed. In 1918 Fyvle Knight 2nd, another pure-bred Aberdeen-Angus, was grand champion, and back in 1908 Fyvle Knight won the honor. Dean Skinner, Prof. “Billy” Smith, Prof. Gobble and Herdsman “Jock' 1 Douglass of Purdue university picked good types and then bought pure bred bulls of the breeding and individual- 1 ity to produce this kind of steers that I are almost models from the butcher’s 1 standpoint. This is the thirteenth Aberdeen-Angus grand champion in 19 1 internationals held to date, and is s generally considered the greatest of 1 them all. 1 Black Ruler stood thirty-fifth in a I class of 35 at the 1919 international, a ’ great tribute to his feeder. He got corn silage, clover hay, water and j fresh air at first; and his finish con- I tained corn, oats, wheat and barley in a concentrated ration, never getting ’ any “stock foods.” or prepared patent I foods of any kind. He was always a 1 good feeder, never being off feed or ‘ bloated in his life. He was a typical Aberdeer-Angus. the “poor man’s 1 breed,” and the result of “Better ’ Sire” study a swell as masterly feed- t | in gon home-grown feeds. i ] A humpback whale with two hind legs was recently captured off the coast of British Columbia. The bones I of the unique appendages were sent to the Museunj, of Natural History in 1 New York. Scientists believe that back is prehistoric ages whales roamI ed the land as well as the sea.

DECATUR DAILY DEMOCRAT, WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 15. 1920.

Rotary Night a Great Success (Continued from page one) be said encouraged others to do likewise und would favorably impress foreigners when they come to this country. His talk was greatly enjoyed and several times during his speech he was applauded. John Mitchell took the platform and in a few words told what Rotary meant to him, how he enjoyed being at the meetings and that those who were good Rotarians learned that a person could get more out of doing something for another, than by receiving. Mr. Gulbalke gave an interesting talk on human nature and character analysis. Fie showed the difference between a blonde and brunette type ■ and a convex and concave forehead and “analyzed" several of the boys, finding “gamblers,” dynomos, schemers and all sorts of men in the room In the majority of cases his analysis was correct and each statement fit the person examined. The boys enjoyed it very much. Two new members, A. J. Smith, everybody knows him, and one of tho finest men that ever lived, and John Max, farmer on the Studabaker place, north of the city, were Introduced and given a rousing welcome by the Rotarians. George Wemhoff who was an invited guest when asked to make a speech, said that he wanted to become a member of the Rotary if his big brother would make room for him. He was given an applause and placed on the waiting list. The evening was thoroughly (enjoyed both by the Rotarians and their guests. The Rotarian Christmas box was well filled with bills and checks and turned over to the charity committee to be used in their Christmas work. “Nuff sed.” Pompeo Coppini spoke to the Fort Wayne Ratarians at noon today. Wai Wemhoff, Hugh Hite and 0. L. Vance accompanied him. He was the guest of Mr. and Mrs. Wai Wemhoff lagt night. The total number of American soldiers gassed during the world war, exa eluding marines and sailors, was 70.552, of whom 1,221 died and 2,853 were discharged as suffering disability from gassing.

A thousand men were fighting the flames. Apparatus was rushed in from nearby towns. The rolling mills ; was a mass of flames at noon. The fires fanned by high winds and fire fighting was badly hampered by the excess heat which drove the fighters back.

The size of the waves of the Atlantic Ocean has been carefully ascertained as a result of extensive investigations made by the officers of the Hydrographic dffice of the United States Navy Department. In height, we are assured, these waves usually average 30 feet, but in rough weather they will attain some 40 to 48 feet. During storms they are frequently from 500 to 600 feet long and endure 10 or 11 seconds. The longest wave measured *by the Hydrographic office officials was a half a mile and it did not spend itself for 23 seconds. The automobilist in London has only to sign a statement giving name, age, type of car, and so on, and pay $1 to obtain a license to drive.

SPORTS (Continued from page five),, out anil cut, his jaws were swollen amt , his eyes were puffy and red. He was' in bed. tired ami worn from going the j longest distance of Ms career und from I taking his worst beating. Bill Brennau, the big husky Chicago heavyweight, stayed 12 rounds with the •man killer" last night in Madison. Square Garden und in those 12 rounds he made the champion work the hard | est he has ever worked jind take more than he has ever taken. Two vicious I punches in the stomach and u smashing right on his head in the middle ot th,. 12th round folded Brennan up and he fell on his head and elbows in a neutral corner, knocked out. He tried gamely to rise and stay out the few remaining rounds but the steady pounding on his heart and stomach, rights and lefts that whacked against him like blows of an air riveter, had sapped every bit of his endurance. "Take the count,” his seconds were screaming from his corner. He took the count —because he had to. Close to 15.000 spectators gathered with the expectation of going home early. Instead, they stayed late and were given the surprise of their life. The gallery gods, way up in the smoke clouds around the rim of the roof several times were in a violent uproar with the thought they were seeing a championship change hands. The crowd was startled by seeing the supposed easy mark, the victim of the public’s demand to see Dempsey in action, rush out of his corner in the first round and smack the champion on the jaw. They were more startled to seen Brennan carrying the fight to the champion and leading all the time. NOTICE! Boys, get easy Christmas money! I will pay $40.00 per ton for washed horseradish roots.
