The People’s Voice SCHOOL ATTENDANCE The new attendance luw has proved its worth by securing the attendance of 5000 more children in school than in previous years. When one thinks of tho evil of absence in school with reference to loss in interest and training of children, and additional difficulties of pupils, patrons and school, one must be impressed with tho loss. Before this law went into effect the absence of Indiana school children was 7.1 per cent of tho school term. This was not only lost to tho children; but was a total loss of 11.207,000 to the state, being 7.1 per cent of the amount expended by the state for this particular term and kind of schools, and for which the pupils received no benefit, because they were absent. Counting all the days of absence of each pupil this amounted to an equivalent of several thousand years for one child. The new law has been effective in securing an enlarged enrollment and more punctual attendance in school than ever before. The state protects itself through the education of its youth and in so doing brings to the door of every child the opportunity of education. The new law requires the attendance of all children in school until sixteen years of age. Hence eighth grade graduates are required to attend high school and if any corporation is without such a school it becomes the duty to furnish high school advantages elsewhere. Rules require children to remain in grades in which they are retained and attendance in grades to which they were promoted. Any other plan would seriously disorganize the schools, and relinquish necessary control over them. This is an age of progress and the b<y or girl who reaches maturity without the required education will find themselves in the lurch and we as parents and guardians must shoulder the responsibility. The opportunity is at hand. Let us, by cooperation, make Adams county one hundred per cent in attendance. ATTENDANCE OFFICER. PROPER RATIONS VERY IMPORTANT County Agent Discusses Proper Feeding of Hens for Egg Production (By County Agent Busche) At the seventeen poultry meetings which have been held during the past three- weeks in various parts of Adams county a large part of the time has been devoted to Explaining to those present what feeds should be given hens for best production and what proportions should be used. The standard ration of 100 pounds bran, 100 pounds middlings and 00 pounds 60 per cent tankage recommended by Purdue has been given as being the best ration for laying hens although some variations can be made. This ration should be fed in a self-feeder so the hens can have access to it at all times. At first thought farmers get scared at the idea of feeding a dry mash of this kind which consists of feeds relatively high in price. Many of them think that corn and oats, which are low priced right on the farm will give the most economical results. But corn, oats and water, or even a little milk and table scraps will not assist very materially in causing the average Adams county flock to lay the eggs which should be produced. Eggs contain protein and fat, the protein making up a large part of the solid material of the egg. Corn and oats contain an overabundance of fat but comparatively little protein. And you cannot expect a hen to lay an egg consisting of fat alone. Hence the necessity of furnishing protein in the form of bran, middlings and tankage in the proportion given above. The proof of the pudding is in the eating. Go to the people who are making farm poultry pay, whether they be commercial poultry keepers or have the small farm flock. You will find that those who are making the most profit are those who have a laying mash before the hens continually. Tn response to a questionnaire sent out recently to those who attended I the meetings we have numerous , statements to the effect that the dry mash recommended is doubling egg receipts inside of two weeks after , the hens are started on it. That farmers are interested in the bran, middlings, tankage ration is evidenc- < ed by the fact that tho manager of one Adams county elevator states that one and one-half tons of bran and middlings were sold on one day last week for poultry feed. *' i WANT ADS EARN— <

The Cubs beat the Cubs 15 to 11 and strengthened their hold on second place. Egg Production Not Decreased by Culling Skeptical people who still doubt the advisability of following the advice given out by Purdue and her representatives relating to agriculture will be interested in the data given below regarding the results of the poultry culling work which has been carried out in Adams County during the past three weeks. Repost received from sos the people at whose places meetings have been held show that the hens left in flocks after the culling laid more eggs during tho seven days following tho culling than the entire flock laid for the same length of time before the cull ing. Regarding tho culls it might be Said that the percentage of egg production from them was very small, de pending to a large extent upon how they were fed. It was understood at the culling meetings that the poor layers were being discarded as well as the non-layers and accordingly it was expected that some eggs would be received from the culls. From the number of inquiries being received at the county agent's office it Appears that those who attended the meetings, as well as others, are becoming interested in know how to feed for egg production. A questionnaire which has been sent out to those who were at the meetings shows that a large’ number are feeding the 10-10-6 or bran-fiddlings-tankage mash with good results. One of the parties for whom culling was done reports that since the culling the hens have averaged eighty per cent egg production or in other words have averaged four eggs daily for every five hens in the flock. These hens are on the laying mash referred to. The series of poultry meetings and culling demonstrations has been completed and results as to attendance and egg production of the flocks culled will bo forthcoming from the county agent’s office soon.

Washington Prohibition agents are trying to fathom the feverish ambition here to gather elderberries. Columbus—Years ago young men spent $7 to $8 at each dance and decorated the halls but during the jazz eraze they think they're spending a mint if they blow $1.50 according to Charles Kitsinger, dance master. Tipton—if he can find who shot "Woody” his pet crow “who never robbed a corn field In his life” Tom Jackson intends to file murder charges. • Shelbyville—Grace Nading passed on a rumor that two girls were seen drunk at Porter’s camp and was fined $36 and costs for indiscretion. Bloomington — “Chink,” thoroughbred Chow Chow dog owned by Mrs. B. Hutton has fallen in the ondaught of poisoners with twenty-four other canines while the whole city mourns at the holocaust. Covington—Cider mills in disuse tor many years are again in operation n Fountain county for benefit of soft drink parlors. Corydon—A snake bit a tire on Morris Fleshman's automobile and Fleshman's hand was poisoned when he rubbed it over the place. SHORTER LETTERS ARE NOW THE RULE Washington, Aug. 30 —Americans are writing shorter letters. This statement was confirmed today by comparative figures made of tho post office department upon the weight of the average letter that goec through the mail. Back in 1907, on the average that there were 40 pieces of first class mail to every pound. Now the same data shows that there are 45 pieces of first class mail to every pound. This means that the we ight of the average letter is less, and, therefore, shorter. s—s—s—WANT ADS EARN—s—s—s Gas Near Heart Is Very Dangerous Gas around the heart is not only painful and distressing. It often is the warning of conditions, which if not corrected may become dangerous. .Many times the gas is caused by derangement of the digestive tract. Food is not digested properly. Gas forms and presses around the heart, interfering with its action. In acute indigestion this often results seriously. One or two Jaques’ Little Wonder Capsules give quick relief. They assist in ho proper assimilation of food.
