L. Lehne, the jeweler, are now comfortably located in their new room, the Dorwin building, formerly occupied by L. Auth, the jeweler. The Dorwin building has been nicely repapered and repainted, and is a roomy, bright, clean place, as well as good to look at. The Lehne store fixtures of mahogany and glass make a fine showing, and the counters and office furniture of the Western Union and express have been revarnished and refinished to perfection. A few more finishing touches need placing, and then the two business men will be permanently settled. L. Auth & Son are also at home in the Terveer building, vacated by Lehne and Patterson. The floor has been covered with linoleum, other improvements made, and with the stock nicely arranged, the store is -one of first class. Detr.vcrat Want Ads Pay. —— The committee on the reorganization of the Northeastern Adams County Farmers’ association, comprising the townships of Root, Union and Washington, this noon reported the nomination of the following officers, for the ensuing year, the election being made by acclamation: President —C. S. Mumma. Secretary—E. H. Faust.

Treasurer—-George Cramer. The second and last day of the institute was favored with an unusually large attendance, the court room being well filled, when Chairman C. 8. Mumma called the house to order at 9:30. The presence of a much larger number of ladies was noticed, they coming to hear the lectures given by Mrs. lajonard on the domestic side of the farm life.. On account of the absence of the quartet the opening song was omitted. Rev. Semans opened the session ■ with a few remarks, followed by pray- ' er. 1 The first address, "Household Man- : agement,” was given by Mrs. Leonard. The speaker made the point that 1 tpany would wear themselves out 1 waiting on their husbands and chil- < dren. Teach them to wait on them- 1 selves. Save your strength for some- 1 thing better. The boys should have as good rooms as the girls. Furnish the 1 boys' room with the best and he will 1 not be so likely to leave home. Teach 1 each member of the home to bear an 1 equal part. Talk to the children as you would have them talk to others. Make the home convenient. The speaker gave some practical suggestions byway of illustrating the manner of making the house convenient. No woman can do all that she should do unless she has something to do with. Money-making is perfectly legitimate, but should not be done at a sacrifice of home comfort. Many i children starve mentally in the raceI for money. The next subject was "Stock Feeding and Comparative Value of Feeds,” by Mr. Oviatt. The speaker emphasized some of the statements of Mrs. Leonard before proceeding with the regular subject assigned him. The balanced ration was explained in detail. Succulence is one of the most imi-ortant' essential of any ration. While dry hay for instance contains the same elements as green hay, the latter is most valuable. Variety is another essential to a valuable feeding ration. Mr. Oviatt demonstrated the correctness of his arguments bv a chart showing the various analyses of the different feeds. The silo, in the speaker’s opinion, is the solution of the dairy feed question. The speaker gave.some valuable hints as to the ' manner of putting corn in the silo. Friday Afternoon Session. , The closing session of the institute 1 opened with a song by the Decatur 1 male quartet, after which a former ] president of the institute, Ed S. Mo- , ses, took the chair by request of the ■ regular chairman, C. S. Mumma. The first subject on the program, “Home ' Problems froma New Standpoint,” What was good enough for our grand- > mothers is no longer good enough for us. Every woma i should have all the ’ labor-saving devices she needs. The fireless cooker was recommended as 1 an inlispensable article of kitchen 1 ■ furniture. Domestic science is all ' I right, but healthy men and women is ' the allimportant question. At time of . going to press, Mrs. Leonard w’as 1 still speaking. Last Evening's Session. The evening sessions are without i doubt Always the most interesting. The 1 busy work of the day is laid aside, and 1 'all, both from city and farm, are free 1 to attend. The session Thursday ev--1 ening was presided over by Arthur , Suttles, of the Old Adams County , | bank, one of the progressive young ■ men, who is interested in farm life, and all that pertains to its advancement. Mr. Suttles only a couple of weeks ago, was at Purdue university, where he attended the weeks’ special agricultural course, coming back enthused and fresh tn interest in all that pertains to the advancement of the farm. To Mr. Suttles is due the credit for furnishing us the notes on the following outline of the program rendered last evening. After music by the Decatur male quartet, and the Decatur high school glee club, which was especially appreciated, as was a song by Miss Ruth Hubbard, daughter of F. H. Hubbard, manager of the local Holland-St. Louis sugar plant, James Kline of Howe, Ind., was announced. His subject was "The Country Boy and Girl.” He said, in part, that in the strife to raise fine crops, cows, pigs and other material products, the most important cry of the farm is lost sight of —the country boy and girl. The great solution of this problem is the introduction of the teaching of agriculture into the schools. In the first place the teacher should be required to qualify by making special preparations along this line. All farm boys are not needed; only boys who! are educated to farms —boys who can i work —for lazy boys make good law-1 yers, doctors, etc., and would not farm , if they could. Lagrange county organized a boy's corn school club. The county school superintendent co-operated and through him a meeting was held to discuss the plan. Only a few came to the meeting, but it grew in numbers and today this county has taken many first prizes at the Indiana Corn Growers’ association at Purdue, January 1 13-17. On corn school day, a day on

which com exhibited, price essays were read and Governor Hanly delivered the principal address. After two years prizes were offered to the boy who had the best corn from each township, by sending him to the Purdue short course. The prizes were 1 always along the line of education or 1 of educational value. The school teachers always strive to have the corn prizes como from their district "The Scientific Farmer.” was the subject of the address given . Iby Professor E. E. Rice, ent of the city schools. Professor Ilice said he was raised on a farm and what he had to say would be from an educational point of view. In ten years the rural population has decreased 5.1 per cent; in ten years the value of lands increased 98 per cent. Wheat in Indi-! ana during the ten years was 1-4.2 bushels per acre; In the Veiled States, 14.1 per acre. In ten years the average yield of corn, wheat and other tarm crops has greatly increased. The cause of the aforesaid is activity along educational lines —the Purdue short course and others held at different places of the state. Experimenting with soil at home will in the end tell what soil of each field is best adapted, but it takes time. On the other hand the advice of experts who can analyze soil will save time and pile up many dollars in the old way. as well as fathers and mothers should attend the short course at Purdue. Information gained there is invaluable. Farm's Social Life. L. W. Oviatt of Bay City, Mich., gave a masterly talk on "Attractiveness of the Farm Home and Scoial Life on the Farm.” F. H. Hubbard, who Is personally acquainted with Mr. Oviatt, testified to the fact that Mr. Oviatt’s words were based on his own experience, which is evident from the picture of his own home and a personal acquaintance with his own family of four boys. Kindness and appreciation are the key to a happy home. It is not surroundings, but a conception of those surroundings that makes us happy or miserable. In closing he recited Foss’ poem, "Let Me Live in a House by the Side of the Road.” In his address he asked the question, "Are We raising the boy to grow corn or are we raise corn for the boy?” I take it that the home life should be the end and all these after things the means to that end. We need more social life, need to come together more. He compared boys and girls on farms to clothespins in process of manufacture. They pour out of a machine like grain out of a threshing machine, but all along the line of process of making he noticed they were rough and had splinters hanging to them and before they come out a finished product they needed smoothing up and polishing. Our boys and girls are the finest in the land, but need education and good, social life in the community where they live. Make home look pleasant, a pleasant place to be, an attractive place and this will hold your boys. Don't forget little things. A word of encouragement, an act of kindness,' an adjusting of things to the liking of your boys will be valuable and not go unnoticed. Thursday Afternoon. Followng Mr. Kline Thursday afternoon, Mr. L. W. Oviatt discussed the subject of “Sugar Peets.” The address was drawn from several years’ practical experience in growing beets on his Michigan farm and in the main, corroborated the instruction given the farmers by the agriculturists of the Holland-St. Louis Sugar company. Particular emphasis was given to early and deep ploughing, thorough fertilization, and preparation of a seed bed. The speaker demonstrated by comparative figures that under normal condition the beet crop was the most profitable of any that the farmer could grow. Mr. Oviatt is said by the management of the farmers' institute association here to be one of the best men the institute lias ever had here In the words of the chairman, C. S. Mumma, “He is a Star." TWENTY MORE DEATHS. Last Year Than Year Before in First Eleven Months. According to a report issued by the state board of health on deaths and diseases in the various counties of the state during the first eleven months in 1912, Adams county suffered the death of 180 persons, this being from the first of last year to the first of last December. The preceding year had only 160 deaths during the same length of time. In Decatur there were fifty-one deaths 4n the first eleven months of ■ last year over thirty-eight of the preceding year. During November, 1912, tuberculosis claimed one death; whooping cough one, cancer one, and various

Dt> oatur lost only three residents during last November, this being one less than November of 1911. ! Tills IS cruel. "Tile girls' team of Fort Wayne high school, which had not dropped a contest In two* seasons, and which was ' looked upon as invincible, fell before , the wiles of the girl crowd from Dejeatur Friday night at the James Smart school, losing to the visiting team by a score of 9to 6,” says the Fort Wayne Journal-Gazette. "The local girls won from Decatur at that place several weeks ago and few expected but what the Fort Wayne girl athletec would sail along unhampered to a victory while laboring on their home floor and under the very eyes of adoring home folks. But Decatur upset the dope and the best that can be done is to await another opportunity to come back at the pesky things from the near-by city. "A slump in the first portion proved 1 the undoing of the home crowd. When that period ended the Fort Wayne girls had but one point to their credit to four on the Decatur side. That is attributed to an unlucky break, as the Fort Wayne broke away for many more tries than did the Decatur girls. But the leather playing refused to sink, so there you are again.. Excellent shooting by Miss Feirtag on ‘ free throws scored four of Ft. Wayne's six points, the other two coming on Miss Ehle’s long shot in the second half. For the visitors Miss Butler played clever ball, annexing three field goals in addition to one on a free throw. The game was featured by good guarding on both sides. The lineups and scores: Decatur—Center, Dugan; forwards, I Frisinger and Butler; guards, Veda ’ and Leah Hensley. Fort Wayne—--1 Center. Wilkens; forwards, Stoite, i Ehle, Keim, Feirtag; guards, Poole and Jeffries. Field Goals—Ehle, 1; Kern, 1; ,Butl ler, 1. Goals on free throws —Feirtag, ' 4; Butler, 3; Kern, 2. ’ Upon petition, French Quinn, re- ♦ ceiver forvthe Ft. Wayne & Springfield ‘ Railway company, was authorized by 1 court to issue receivers’ certificates ’ in the amount of $9,750.32, to raise 1 funds to make certain repairs i4pd bet- ♦ terments for the railway. The peti- > tion set out that during Mr. Qlinn's ■ administration the revenue from the 1 interurban’s earnings amounted to 1 $21,278.66, while the operating ex- ' penses were only $17,613.25, showing a handsome profit made. The profit, ■' however, during this time, is not suffi- • cient to pay for the improvements re- ‘ quired to make the earning capacity ♦ and service even still better, and the • request for the issuance of the certifi- ♦ cates to raise the sum, was asked. The repairs and betterments to be made in- • elude new motors, a tank at the pow--1 er house, metal bonds on the rails, t new equipment for the cars, and other • things, that, besides rendering the c service still more efficient, will in- ’ crease the earning capacity of the railway, and bring about an even better service. Mr. Quinn, as receiver, was also authorized to pay the appraisers’ : fees and was allowed $2,000 as part > payment of the receiver and his attor- ■ neys, for their services, and also ex--1 penses incurred in the service. TAKEN TO INFIRMARY, s ■—. Was Erie Employee Who Slept Out And Got His Feet Frozen. John Murphy, the Erie double track - employe, who had his feet badly froz- ■ ed when he went to sleep in the Elick ■ tile mile Thursday evening, after partI ially disrobing and was not found un- ■ til several hours afterwards, was tak- ■ en to the county infirmary last even- - ing by Deputy Sheriff Jesse Kelley. He will be kept there until he Is beyound the heed of care. He was cared for at the jail for a night and day, and as there was no charge to be preferred against him, to hold him there longer, it was thought the infirmary was the place for him. He is getting along very well the only injury being to his feet which were badly frozen. , I The most successful two days’ ses- ( sion of the farmers’ institute closed late Friday afternoon at the court room. A large number of members for the new year's organization was ! secured, subscribers coming freely. The officers of the new organization, including C. S. Mumma, president, and E. H. Faust, secretary, who were reelected, and George Cramer, treasurer, succeeding William Miller, who served well, will promise an equally good institute for next year. Presiden tMumma ,who is also county president, is a man of many years' experience in the institute work, as well as a practical and progressive farmer, fully alive to the needs of the hour. 1 During the course of Mrs. Leonard’s address Friday afternoon she branch ed out upon the work of the legislature and declared herself to be a suffragette and gavethe history of the move-

Worth service an engine will give y° u dtptndt not only on its design and quality of its material and workmant ship but upon the size of its bearings, the length of its piston, the thickness of its thinnest casting, the size of its balance wheels j and the strength of its various parts. Upon the size and strength of these parts depend the service you will get from the engine | and it also determines the total weight of the engine. In deter- I mining the value of two engines compare their weight the same I as you do when you sell your hogs, pork is worth so much I per pound.

ment in this state. Mrs. Leonard re- ; futed the charge that every man tn the , legislature has his price. Various laws ' proposed were examined and it was pointed out that the farmers should,' like other classes of people, know what the various bills contain and endorse that are to the purpose. The address throughout was full of thought and, was highly appreciated by the audience. After a few timely remarks by , the presiding officer, the Institute was fa”ored witha solo by Miss Ruth Hubbard, which was steil received. The next subject on the program, i "Preparation of the Soil and Conser-1 vstion of Soil Fert’iity,” wrs discuss-] ed by Mr. Oviatt. Proper p'owing is ] an essential to proper soil preparation. U e jointer. G' -dually increase the depth of in order to bring up the subsoil. Tee action of frost aoj tl.“ ari serve-, tv dissolve the stiff clay subsoil when brought to the surface. Disk thoroughly before plowing. Conserve moisture by preparing a fine compact seed bed. More moisture comes from below than falls from above. Mr. Oviatt explained the capillary action of moisture in the soil by 1 preparing the surface of the.soil finely, 1 brings up moisture and at the same ' time prevents its escape. In the preparation of the soil and cultivation of ; all crops, “Be in Time,” should be the , farmer's watchword. Sell those things ■ that contain no fertility and send back ■ to the soil plant food. Sugar and butter contain no fertility, while beet pulp > and clover are rich in soil fertility. • The man who takes the best care of ! the soil makes most money. The farmer’s head and hands must work together. Mr. Oviatt gave his method , of seeding oats. • The address throughout was full of > valuable suggestions and advice ,and was well received. Following the address an interest- ■ ing discussion was participated in by 1 the institute. The Democrat is indebted to Chair- . man C.S. Mumma for the outline of • the institute.
