THE PORTER MOVEMENT Afoot now is an undertaking by the Indiana Federation of Women’s clubs to have the state acquire possession of ’’Limberlost," Gene Stratton Porter’s * beautiful summer home on the banks of Sylvan lake, near Rome City. Mrs. Porter, it will he sadly recalled, Was killed some months ago in an automobile accident in Los Angeles, and it is learned that her country estate in Nolde county can be purchased on public account for much less than its value. Let there be. however, a clear ing up of the confusion which appears to exist—in the mind of one Indianapolis newspaper, for instance—that the "Limberlost" it is proposed to make a state preserve is the “Lim berlost” of Mrs. Porter’s childhood and the scene of some of her most engaging books. The eminent author had simply consulted a natural sentiment in giving to her beautiful summer home some part of the glamour ot the fame her romantic writings had conferred upon the marshy wilds of the ‘’Limberlost" in Adams county which her stories had made almost familiar ground to millions of readers* The Rome City “Limberlost’’ assur edly ought to become the property of the public, this on several accounts. One of these is that it js a beautiful place for which, without sacrifice of natural charm. Mrs. Porter had done much in the way of simple embellish ment and which is equipped with build ings of a character that will serve useful purpose and of a type perhaps no other would have thought to ere ate. The home is of logs, a highly glorified cabin constructed of timbers brought from a long distance and having counterpart in some of the great lodges of the Odirondacks or in the national parks of the far west. A broader reason will be found for tak ing surety that this place will be pre served is that it is a scene of natural beauty and the abode of wild life These the state conservation depart ment so far as its means can be made to reach, is bent upon preserving and caring for in the public behalf. A great deal has been done to acquire amide velop state parks and preserves, but there remains much more to do When opportunities such as that now offered com e to hand they ought to be embraced. We do not believe the Indiana Federation of Women’s clubs will be left to bear the burden of this undertaking alone. What the federation is attempting to do is quite in line with the spirit and policy of much of the work the Izaak Walton league is so admirably doing. We doubt not that the Walton league will be glad to lend its aid to this project.—Fdrt Wayne Journal-Gazette. The Junior Farm clubs are nearing the finals and the judging will take place soon with awards for those most louccegstal (In hvfising cahfeA / » ■ producing the best corn and beets in the county. It’s a worthy movement and the success of the clubs here, sponsored by the Decatur Industrial Association, have attracted attention over a dozen middle western states. This is a real effort to arouse greater interest in farming and in the production of those crops and that live stock which means the greatest profits to those who thus engage. It

We commend the work of 1 County Agent Busche and all who have assisted him In the splendid enterprise and we are sure that every boy and girl who has engaged in the work has received much benefit and many pleasures and will be more than pleased when the season is over. With a half a dozen new pavements under construction in this city, seven miles of state road from here north , going in and a dozen miles of improved highways being built in the county, who can say we are not progressing in old Adams’ It’s a big job these days to keep streets and roads in proper condition but we are doing our best here. Tomorrow is Pythian Day in Decatur and every one here will extend a hearty welcome to every visitor. Don’t wait for introductions—just say "howdy” to those you meet. The town should be decorated and every courtesy shown to those who come to as sist in the celebration of the fiftieth anniversary of the local lodge. Mrs. Muench, a St. Louis milliner was held up by a lone bandit who en tered her store and robbed her of $15,000.

Differences of coat and hat. ■ Short and fat or thin and tall. Worldly critics daily Or whatever it may be Some seem good and some seem bad. -Viter not the love for breath.

| cows averaged 300 pounds or more ot butter tat per cow per year. These members will be placed on the national "300 pound honor roll’’ and will be awarded a diploma at the national dairy exposition in Indianapolis October 10 to 17. Last year 2,374 cow testing associa- ■ tlon members throughout the United States were awarded diplomas In recognition of their work, of which 56 were Indiana dairymen.
