WILL HOLD HOME ECONOMICS MEET Women of County to Meet at County Agent's Office Here Wednesday In compliance with a request from the Home Economics Department at Purdue, letters have been sent out (from the county agent’s office to ladies throughout the county asking them to attend a Home Economies Conference to be held in Decatur Wednesday. At that time Miss (lad dis, of Purdue, will confer with the ladies to determine what desires there may be for such extension work in the various townships of the county. Adams county has been | very backward in this respect since I only one township. Root, has had a home economics organization of any kind Since the extension work is being supported from, public funds j there is no reason why this county | should not receive some of the benefits of this work and is hoped some action will be taken whereby Purdue will be enabled to cooperate with the farm women of the county. All farm women are invited to atI tend the meeting and become acquainted with Miss Gaddis and with j the nature of the work. The meetling will begin at 1:30 and will be held at the epunty agent's office. BEN KING FINED anmhwithanh I Ossian Man Pleads Guilty to Charge of Contributing to Delinquency Bluffton, Mar . 12. —Ben King of I Ossian, was in court here before , .Judge Gordon Saturday afternoon, to , answer to a charge of contributing to | the delinquency of a 9-year-old Ossian girl, in whose presence an act of unmentionable character occured. An Ossian girl aged 18 also was men tioned in the case. King entered a plea of not guilty, but after hearing the evidence. Judge Gordon found him guilty and assessed as penalty. ; fine of SSO and costs. Officers report a weak strain in both King and the 18-year-old girl, and this fact probably averted more drastic action in the case. King was committed to jail until the* fine and costs are paid.
