Mr. and Mrs. W. V. Porter Had Fine Trip to the East.

Mr. and Mrs. Walter V. Porter and son, Charles, returned from New York state this morning, where they have been visiting for the past few days with Ross Porter, who is the manager of a farm near Randolph. The trip was made via automobile. Mr. Porter also spent a day with John Knapp, a former Rensselaer resident who is now farming in that state and is getting along nicely, and also spent a day with Wm. Broadie, formerly of Remington, and Mrs. Ed Peck and Ike Pock, also formerly of Remington. Mr. Porter states that the crop conditions in that state are about the same as they are here, but not not up to usual standard due to the cold and wet spring and the unusually hot summer. Ross Porter will return to.-Indiana Christmas for an extended visit. He has hot yet decided to buy a farm but will probably do so later, as he likes the country and thinks that the prospects for farming there are excellent. The return trip was made by way of Jamestown, Buffalo, Niagara Falls and the Great Lakes, about 1,400 miles in all. The Porters had a fine trip and returned with Indiana air in all .their tires.
