FARM AND TOWN: — Speaking yesterday at a farm business short course at Purdue Uni-ve-.sity, M. H. Overton urged more re< (ignition of home market possibilities in agriculture. The indictment drawn is fairly familiar, but neglect of the findings is general. There is hardly any community in which considerable quantities of sohie products are not bought ami brought from a distance that could be produced satisfactorily in both quantity, and quality in the consuming locality. This is not always easily explained but that die practice frequently is a barrier to a better balanced social scheme is certain.’ To quote Mr. Overton: "Large quantities of many farm products, which should be included in local production, are Shipped into Indiana annually to supply local markets and frequently the local products ar e of superior quality to the shippedin products, providing the best nu thods of production are used." What is true in this is true in many others. A resident of New York, who has had a distinguished career, recently made a visit to a Maine village, in which he had spent his boyhood. He found the agriculture surrounding it in a financial condilon tin ' was unsatisfactory. By count it was found that theie were 189 farms in a convenient trading radius. The cashier of the local bank infoi med the visitor that local dealers had paid out through the bank 5189,000 in the preceding year for food of different sorts that could have been produced on the 189 nearby farms. The example can be duplicated widely. City merchants and city residents often are tempted to blame the neighboring farm population for. not taking advantage of such opportunities. Those identified with agriculture say that dealers in nearby cities anil towns will not co-operate with them, and that without that co-oper-ation it is not wise to assume the risk that goes with specialized production on a comparatively small stale. There is a good deal of truth in both assertions, and it may be that tiic time has come for county farm bureaus and local chambers of commerce to work together. It is not intended to suggest that increased local consumption of more locally produced agricultural commodities will solve the farm problem, for it has many ether factors, hut it will aid, and it would elminate from living costs some of the transportation expense.—lndianapolis News. Assistant Andrews of the treasury defiartifient, one of those in charge of the enforcement of the Volstead act, fitvbrs the proposed impartial inquiry as to results so far obtained in this nation on the theory that the people will be surprised at the advancement really mule. It is not unlikely that a commission will be named and 'hat a nation wide inquiry will result. One cannot read of the physical condition of W. T. McCray, ex governor of Indiana, without feeling sad and there are few who knew the once brilliant man. wonderful leader and excellent business man who would not if It were possible relieve him him from the worries and the confinement which have broken down his physical health and caused a mental illness. There is uo doubt that if he had been an ordinary citizen he would

have been given his freedom several months ago, but because he was governor of Indiana when convicted his pardon would cause many to believe it was because of his influence and would further the disregard for laws ami courts. It is a depressing situation. Several suggestions of holding an Old Home Week this year have come to us and local men are interested. It depends on other plans to some extent but its a mighty good thing to be thinking and talking about and by the way if such an event is to be given its not a bit too early to make plans. The supreme court of Indiana has ruled that women are eligible to sit as Jurors, either petit or grand, this being an added feature of their enfranchisement. The average woman will make a good juror if she does not permit sentiment to govern her. She will take her oath seriously and will deal justly. Tonight is basketball time again and three big championship games are on the card. Hundreds will cheer themselves hoarse, old and young will join in boosting the home teams and the thrills of this exciting sport v. 11 be a good thing for all those who indulge. It snowed and today was a dandy winter day, better for all of us than the soft and slushy weather, helpful U> the soil, the roads hnd the health of the people. o 88888885583888888 x i s X TWENTY YEARS AGO TODAY 8 X K 1* From the Daily Democrat File 8 If Twenty Years Ago This Day X 8 .8 KBBBBBBBB 8 X X 8 8 8 8 8 February 19, 1906 —Three Herne taloon keepers are fined total of $920 by Judge Erwin for selling liquor without license.
