MONEY WELL SPENT:— When the 1925 legislature meets it will be asked to approve a number of requests for increased appropriations for state institutions and state work, n a few cases the budgets for varlour departments will be lower than * i.i former years. Among these will be the one from G. 1. Christie, Extension Director of Purdue University. Far 1925-26 he requests an appropriation of *193,817.0* and the same amount Jur 1926-27. This money will be used to further tile extension Work among the agricultural interests of the state, it will he used to extend the scope of his department. The apportionment will be as foli lows: *30,000 for farmers short courswork. *25,000 for home demonstra tion work, *IO.OOO for correspondence courses, *IO.OOO for boys' and girls' duh work, and *30,000 for additional extension work. Tills budget is less than that iimi in etch of the past two years, in 19'22-23 the, department spent *195. 149.54 and in 1923 21, *197,594.27. ft is encouraging to find a public institution that is not trying to profit by the improved prices for agricultural commodities. M ost of us have a desire to increase our departments and expand in the work we are doing w lien money is a little freer. The work which the extension department is doing is a worthy one. No stit - in the i'.’i'on is* carrying on dub work among the boys and girls with more efficiency than is Indiana The success of this work is ably demonstrated by the winnings ot Hoosier youngsters at the Inter national Livestock Exposition and tht international Hay and Grain Show. Their work is one of the real features of the state fair. No other state car surpass the showing wh ch these youngsters make in the calf clubs at the fair. Other departments are likewise well filled.

11l promoting i-lttb work, the extension department is starting ut the proper source. When the boys and girls are instilled with the spirit of love for their vocation, Huy will be more apt. to make it a life work than when their inclinations are permitted to stray into other fields/ The farmers of the state are favorable to this work. They in turn are learning many valuable lessons from the boys nid girls. There is something decidedly wrong with the parent that < do"; ma oneoitiage his youngsters to take advantage of the service which Tiiduo rniwr.sity affords in leadership for the boys and girls. In a like manner the lessona taught by Ihe short courses and ( homodemonstration work hus an equally important place among the adults of th.- state.

The meeting of land owners along he Decatur-Fort Wayne state road i h the highway committee of the 'idustri.il Association last evening, "■■as a very pleasant business event n which business was talked and in ■liicb a clear understanding was ached on almost every question. The oval business men are of one accord vith the farmers, desiring the best :jd possible and every protection to he properties. The representatives f the commission stated their posiion clearly and in an understandable vay and we believe the enterprising and owners will render every assisance to them and that within six nonths we will have one of the finest o.ols in th- .-t.iH- between here and

At this time a discussion of dans tor the year will be held, a board of directors elected and the meeting is sure to a happy, profitable event.

Few there are who will dispu*e the tact that a community in which churches wield real influence are better than those in which they are in the background.

The state commission has included that part of the 1 uhighway north from here to the coufity line and appropriated the I money to meet the expense.

At | (he conclusion ot his very interesting; talk Mr' Lee displayed a chart pre j pared for the occasion which showed the method of construction and made clear the reasons why a fifty-toot; road is necessary. He answered a (lumber of questions from those pres . mt and explained in full everythin | concerning the work- Mr. Sinift told he farmers of plans and compared’ h<' proposed road with others ot al iiniilar nature, explained that, the; date desired to do everything pos•’ itble to accomodate those along the! road, to save trees, to arrange the] work to the greatest convenience of the land owners and to construct the road in the manner which would be of greatest benefit to the public. It was an interesting session and after the talks each property owner was asked for his position, resulting in an almost unanimous approval of the plans. A few objections were offered, but it is believed no serious difficulties will be met in obtaining the signatures to the peasemeuts re- j ing. C. D. Kunkle, and William Ho j gun. Most of the men present were enthusiastically in favor of the road and anxious that the papers Me signed up at once so that the contract can be let and the work started as early in the spring as possible. Mr. Lee estimated that if there is no delay on our part and with average luck, the road can be ready for use by October. Following a general discussion a ■ommittee consisting of Henry Bernng. C. D. Kunkle, and William Hon'oek. representing the farmers, and I. H. He'ler. E. Peterson and Euan' .ankonau. representing the Indusrial Association, and Mr. Siniff ot he commission, was named to canvass the situation Monday and secure the signatures. A number have ilready signed up and it is hoped the natter can be disposed of during he next few days.

□□dee Brothers TYPE--B SEDAN Unquestionably, the most compelling tribute to the car s stamina is its widespread use by farmers, ranchmen, surveyors, salesmen and others who travel isolated roads in all sorts of weather. These men will tell you that a good polishing restores the durable finish to its original brightness after the car has been caked with mud for weeks. To them it is a matter of vital importance, too, that Dodge Brothers powerful starter iunctions promptly after prolonged exposure to the cold. Nor is any group of owners more constantly impressed by those elements of excess value which characterize not only the Type-B Sedan itself, but every car that Dodge Brothers build. s x THOMAS J.
