The programs generally are given over to various athletic and sporting contests, including baseball games, foot races and horseshoe pitching contests. Band concerts feature a number of these outings and moreo ften than in the past women are filling important places on many of the speaking programs. At spate of the picnics boys’ and girls’ club work exhibits have attracted much attention. William H. Settle, president of the Indiana Farm Bureau federation, has been called on a great many times for addresses and he has responded as frequently as his many duties would permit. The interest of the farmers are showing in these outings and the eagerness with which they listen to farm bureau messages augur well for the annual membership campaign, arrangements for which soon will be way Purchasing departments or agencies now have been incorporated by farm bureaus in sixteen counties under the Indiana cooperative marketing law, thus qualifying themselves to hold stock in the Indiana Farm Bureau Purchasing department.

I Suitor Says It With Kindling Wood When He Seeks Bride In Formosa j London.—(U.P.)—lf you fall in love on .the Island of Formosa and want to! (marry a Formosan beauty: Say it with kindlewood. A bundle of kindlewood Is the native means of expressing a proposal of J marriage in Formosa, according to Si British consular official who has just returned from Japan after spending some lime studying conditions on the Islanff the name of which appears on so many packages of tea. Generally, like in almost every other pant of the world, the man proposes marriage in Formosa a period of time which Varies with the temperament of the courted female. First of all, the counter makes arrangements through a third party to notify his “would-be" of his “intentions”. Then, after he has accomplished this elementary mark of good breeding, regardless of how the object of these “intentions” feels about the matter, the wooer commences his campaign. Following the “notification of intentions,” the procures a bundle of fire-wood which he carefully places upon the dorstep of his lady-love. This formality is accomplished in the dark of night, assuring the suitor of privacy exempt of publicity. On the next night, the suitor returns. If his bundle of wood is still there, it is a sure indication that his purest feelings are considered in the light of annoyance and a silent request that the nuisance be immediately discontinued. If however, the bundle has disappeared, then the wooer may consider himself at liberty to keep up the good work. And so, night after night the “fortunate” male continues his notcurnal business of “wood-spooning” until the time when—either because the lady has received enough wood, or because perhaps she feels her suitor has displayed sufficient perseverance—he is invited to enter the threshhold of happiness. From then on, the couple are considered to be engaged and soon after they become man and wife. Sometimes however these affairs become complicated by the desire of certain fickle Formosans to change their minds after they have received a ce/ tain supply of kindlewood. In such cases, the “unfortunate” suitor is informed of his disgrace by the fact that upfjn one of his nocturnal visits to the doorstep of his dreams, he finds the bundle of wood left there upon his previous visit, untouched. That is how they,return “engagement rings," in Formosa. New Fad Is Hat That Leaves You Guessing London (United Press) —The hat that leaves you guessing—this is the latest fashion for women. And it is catching on too. if only because it adds to the description of women as ’“mysterious creatures"— a characteristic which they love to maintain. The main point about the new fashion is that most of the owner’s features are entirely concealed. It matters very little whether the brim is a wide spreading one, or one of those shaped like a wide preading one, or one of those shaped like a bell tent. The reult is the same. A month, enlivened by the particular shade of red the owner fancies for her lipstick, is almost the only clue to the Identity a woman fashionably dressed for out-of doors supplies to an admiring and curious world. The fashion has its awkward aspect. It is true that Adam is not expected to raise his hat until Eve volunteers some sign of recognition; on the other hand there are occasions when it might be disconcerting for him to make a hasty snatch at his hat as if unawares, so to speak. o Jack Rabbit Takes Ride Napoleon, N.
