Heavy shipments of merchandise In th e regular trade channels, according to Grant, are responsible for most of the gold recently accumlated in the Vnided States. • Smuggling, however, also plays a part in bringing gold into this country especially from Mexico, Grant said. Mexican gold, originating along the Mexican border, is going to San Francisco banks. t Grant said that the large percentage Os the increased gold received here is in the form of coins. These all reach the various mints eventually, and are melted down and made into United States money. Grant revealed the fact that of all the “small change” coins made in the United States, 95 per cent "arc used WM t of Chicago, declaring that the Denver mint alone sends out shipments in carload lots. Grant said that one of the perpetual puzzles to mint directors was the disposition of millions of pennies coined. "No one seems to now what' becomes of all the pennies,” Grant said, “but the mints keep busy coining them.” ———O’ —- Remington High School Pupils Form Bug Club Remington, Ind., July 30 —(INS) — The Remington bug cl(jb seems to be the only one of its kind in Indiana.

V. Kell, of the Extension Department of Purdue University, in charge. The route of the tour was arranged through the cooperation of the bankers and extension organizations. The first stop Thursday morning was at Ray Bechtold's farm, just east of North Manchester, where the crowd intending ito make the tour had gathered. Mrs. Bechtold described the procedure which had been gome through in converting an old-fhshioned, dark, long kitchen into a modern, convenient and well lighted room with very (little expense as planned by the Purdue Home Economics Department. “My work is much easier and more pleasiant,” stated Mrs. Bechtold to the party. The improvements were .made possible by up to date farming methods including the milking of a good herd of pure bred cows, which are In the cow testing association, the keeping of a nice flock of laying liens and the growing of alfalfa and other legumes. The next stop demonstrated the value of farm management. Mr. J. J. Kyler, ow-ner of the farm where ■ the stop was made, exhibited his i pure bred herd of Jerseys and brought out the fact that everything grown on his farm except wheat is sold through livestock. “Any banker can unqualifiedly advise his farmer customers to join a cow testing association/ if they have a sufficient ifumber of cows,” declared Mr. Kyler. After lunch at Tri-Lake, the group visited Lee Waugh, a calf club boy, who now has a herd of 5 pure bred Jerseys as the result of entering the calf club work three years ago. Many compliments, upon Waugh's accomplishment were passed. "The McLean county system of swine sanitation raised the yearly production of our ten sows from 50 unthrifty to 160 thrifty pigs,” stated Mr. C. C. Palmer, north of Albion, where the last stop of the tour was

The Song Os The Lazy Farmer The first night that we pitched our tent, Mlrnndy Hold, “Now you have went and left our pillows nil to hum. 1 won't sleep out here like ahum, without, no p4lJow ‘nenth my head.” A lot of other things she said, but I let on I hadn't heard and never answered, not a word. When I woke up she wasn't there, I thought she'd given me the air, so I stood up to stretch my legs and tumbled over them tent pegs. Just then I saw Mirandy was a settin' in the car because there wasn’t, no pillows 1n the tent. She up and told me that she'd spent her last, night out without no rest, and if we kept on goin’ west we’d have to sleep in some hotel, where she. could sleep and rest a spoil. That’s just the way a woman is. she doesn’t like fresh air, gee whiz, she gits no kick a roughin' it, she don't like campin' out a bit. The only way to do, by gum, s just to leave your wife to hum] when yon start out upon a trip it’s best to give

your wife the sllp.'or let her go to see her aunt. With her along with you, von can't enjoy a-sleepln’ on the ground with prairie wolves a-howlin' 'round. She makes you wash your
