MEDALS ARE AWARDED AT BANQUET HERE fCONTINCED FROM I’AC.E ONE> led by .Miss Agufes Schwartz. Ton Litter Awards Made’ .Mr. Klepper then called on Hubert I’. Schmitt, well-known Decatur meat market proprietor, who is the chief sponsor of the Ton Litter Club work in Adams county. A few years ago, Mr. Schmitt purchased a beautiful silver loving cup, to be awarded each year to the farmer producing the heaviest tor. litter of pigs in the county. To this, he adds, each year $75 in cash prizes, to be distributed among the winners in the Ton Litter Club. After making a short talk Mr. Schmitt presented the loving cup and S2O in cash to Enoch P. Habegger, young Monroe township farmer, who produced the heaviest litter in the county in 1928. His prize-winning Etter weighed 2,565% pounds. Mr. Habegger gave a short talk, in which he thanked Mr. Schmitt and other sponsors of the Ton Litter Club and told how he had benefitted by his experiences in the club. Other Ton Litter Awards Other awards in the Ton Litter Club were as follows: Preston Zehr, gold medal and S2O in cash, (Mr. Zehr was the only farmer in the county to produce two ton litters last, year I; Albert Davison, gold medal and $lO cash; Jacob J. Schwartz, gold medal and $5 cash; Jacob Nussbaum, gold medal and $5 cash; L. F. Sprunger, gold modal and $5 cash, Walter Sommer, gold medal and $5 cash; David P. Steury, silver medal and $5 cash; Jacob Sommer, silver medal; John E. Heiman, si.ver medal. ' Adams county produced eight ton litters in 1928. which was 23 per cent of the total number produced in the entire state. This county has led all other counties in the state in total number of medals won each year for the last three or four years. County Agent Speaks Ford E. Christen, Adams county agent, was introduced next by Mr. Klepper. Mr. Christen congratulated the farmers on their splendid showing during the past year, especially in the view- of many adverse conditions. and predicted«greater things for this year. He explained the work of the Five-Acre Corn Club and then ‘ presented the cash prizes awarded by ’ the Krick-Tyndal. Tile company, of Decatur, and the Gottschalk 't ile company, of Heine. Fred Blum, of Monroe towkship, won first prize in the ’ corn club, with a yield of 91. G bushels , per acre, thereby qualifying for a silver medal awarded by the Indian® ; Corn Growers’ Association. He received the first cash prize for sls. r Other awards in the corn club were as follows: Rufus lunlnger, silver . medal and $lO cash; Ted Mazellu, bronze medal and $7.50 cash; Donald

Leroy 11. Jones, of Upland, will give a number of read ings ut the Pleasant Mum high school auditorium br day evening. February 1. at 7:30 o’clock. Too much cannot be said of the inspiration afforded by clean, wholesome entertainment. Whether it is ot humorous or serious type, it is both utilitarian and ciiltuAl values. Perhaps these va lies have no greater outlet than Is found in the art of play-naiUng. We are naturally social beings and our interests center in the real people. A play is a representation of life. Through the combined medium of action and dialogue, it unfolds an interesting story centered around one theme, one group of persons, one closely related series of events and through its unfolding arouses the finer emotions, thus lifting us from our ordinary

Burkhart, bronze medal and $7.50 cash; Daniel Steury, $5 cash; ('. P. Christener, $5 yash. Wins Medal In Calf Club i A silver medal was presented by Mr. Christen to Otto Hoile, of I nion township, which Mr. Hoile qualified for in the 1.000-pouud calf club. Mr. Hoile produced a calf that weighed 932 pounds when one year old. This is ths first medal ever awarded to an Adams county farmer in the 1,000pound calf club. The next feature on the program was a contest between the corn growers and hog feeders, arranged by Fred Blum, champion corn grower. Two st lings were stretched across the room and four corn growers were assigned to one string and four hog feeders to the other. A toy balloon was suspended from each string and the corn growers won the contest by blowing the balloon from one end of the string to the other and back again. E. A. Mills Gives Address Mr. Klepper then introduced E. A. Miils, agricultural alumni secretary of Purdue University, who delivered the principal address of the evening. Mr?‘Mills used as his subject, “Plan ypttr Work and Work your Plan." He stressed the need and advantages of education to" the farmer and gave statistics derived through surveys to show that farmers who were best edt rated made much greater profits out of farming than did the farmers who had less education. Mr. Mills compared th'e college and university to a mental gymnasium and declared that it was not a mental filling station, as many persons considered it. He said it was the mental exercise and the experience in solving problems, rather than the book facts that proved of greatest benefit to the college or university student. Mr. Mills urged the farmers to look ahead and to plan their work ahead for three, four or five years, rather than to merely do today's work. Music was furnished during the banquet by Dan Braun's orchestra, of Decatur. The musicians were applauded generously. Much credit for the success of the banquet, is due the county agent, Ferd E. Christen, and to his efficient committees, but splendid cooperation was shown by farmers and business men throughout the county. ■ APPOINTMENT OF tRMINISTRATOR Notice Is hereby given, that the tin-der.-Jgned has been appointed Adtnlntstratoi with will annexed, of the estate of Elizabeth Baumgartner late of Adams county, deceased.
