EDITORS ACQUIRE PICTURE SHOW

W. C. MILLIRON TRADES HIS PICTURE SHOW AT FRANK’. - LIN FOR FARM W. C. Milliron is now the owner of a farm in Mississippi, having just traded his picture show at Franklin, Johnson county, to the Republican editors for their 80-acre plantation near Gloster, Amite county, Mississippi, which they purchased during the stay of Mr. Clark in the south. The theatre at Franklin has been in charge of Mr. Milliron’s son, Robert, who has been drafted into the army, and this fact made the disposal of the show necessary. Mr. Hamilton, of the Republican, has always had an ambition to enter the show business and so this trade was arranged by his partner, for his benefit. He, will have charge of the show whenever he finds time from his other business to assume the management. In the meantime, B. S. Fendig,whose time is not so pressing, will be placed in charge. Franklin is in Johnson county,near Indianapolis. It is a city of over 5,000 and -has only two play houses, the other one being an opera house, where pictures are shown upstairs two nights a week. The Strand theatre, which Mr. Milliron sells, has an up-to-date equipment, and has a seating capacity of 244.

THE NEIGHBORHOOD CORNER

A DEPARTMENT OF FARM WELFARE CONDUCTED BY CO. AGENT LEANING. Every One Help The Corn Show This is a time for standardization. Manufacturers are discovering the “best” type of any given product and are sticking to it. Jasper County has at least 50 types of corn, which are commonly grown. It is probable that if this number was reduced to a half dozen highly developed strains the yield of the county would be much increased. Nothing helps-, in the standardization of corn varieties more than a live corn show. The Poultry Association will hold a good show in connection with the Poultry Exhibit, January Ist to sth. Every farmer who has the interests of higher corn production at least should have a ten ear sample at this show. The experience in picking out the exhibit will do him good. The points that the judge will bring out in scoring his sample will do him more good and" the inspiration that the community will gain by having a large number of entries and a good attendance will be the best of all. Do your part by selecting your exhibit now.

Saturday Afternoon Meeting “Winter C re of Poultry” will be the subject of Mr. M. L. Bosner of Purdue at the farmer’s meeting to be held in- the County Agent office next Saturday afternoon at 2:00 o’clock. With high prices for feeds; hens must produce eggs and produce them abundantly in order to be profitable this winter. Drop in next Saturday and hear Mr. Bosner. He can give you a few pointers that will be worth considering. “Order your potash now for your corn ground,” was the advice of Prof. A. T. Wiancko, at the Soil meeting last Saturday. "I have investigated the matter carefully and find that the supply will be somewhat shorter than it was this season. Some of the companies are putting up a 55 mixture for this area at a price which farmers can afford to pay for it. Dealers prices are now about $38.50 per ton, but will advance before spring. Early buying will 1 save money.” The indications are that Prof. Wiancko’s advice will be heeded by many.

For Merit Trustee, Burdett Porter of Carpenter township has arranged for a box social to be held at the Welsh school house, Saturday evening, December 15th, to provide funds to reward the boys and girls of the township who complete their industrial club work. All schools of the township will cooperate in supporting this event. Farmer*’ Club* The Newton Farmer’s club meets next • Tuesday evening at the Blue Grass school. A Christmas program has been arranged. The Kniman club meets next Thursday evening, December 20th, with a special program. The Bowling Green Farmers’ club have changed their meeting night to Thursday evening, December 20th, since their regular meeting night is on Christmas. A Christmas program has been arranged and a good crowd is expected. Remember to come Thursday evening, December 20th.

Blood Will Tell ' “I sold my yearling cattle the other day at $66 a head,” said a prominent farmer of Wheatfield township. “These animals were high grade Angus and were good individuals. A neighbor who had not been paying much attentian to breeding sold a bunch of 3 year olds for $45 a head. There is as much in breeding as feeding and,l apt glad to see the good stock come into the county.* Sweet Clover As A Soil Builder “What is the best clover crop to increase the nitrogen and organic matter supply in the soil?” was a Question leading to a lively informal iscussion at the Soil Meeting last Saturday. A few farmers had the best results with cowpeas and soy beans in corn, others suggested mammoth clover. Wiancko stated the probably best results could be secured by seeding sweet clover on the wheat in the spring, and plowing under in the fall or the next spring. The use of eet clover is not new in this county and results indicate that a more general use is to be recommended.

Oscar Whitaker of Monterni, Tenn., rfeturned to his home this morning,. after working in this city. We have a complete stock of heavy arctics and cold weather footwear, but the present stocks will be hard to maintain owing to scarcity in the markets. G. E. MURRAY CO. MORE OTC] LEFT T 0

Thrift Stamps and War-Saving Certificates.—The Example Of Ths East In the campaign to raise two billion dollars in the five dollar bonds of the War-Saving Certificates, the country has been divided into six districts, arranged geographically, and with allotments according to their population. The North Central district under the direction of H. B. Riley of Chicago extends fro Michigan and Indiana to Montana, inclusive, and has alloted to it $432,738,140, the largest of all. The northeastern divisioh, comprising New England, New York end New Jersey, has to raise the next largest sum, $427,489,280. Owing to proximity to Washington the eastern districts were prepared to bgein their campaign December 3rd, while ours was necessarily delayed until the 10th. Meanwhile we may be instructed and inspired by the example of the east. There was an intense rivalry among all classes to be jn early with the buying. Secretary McAdoo bought the very first in the nation—a Thrift Stamp and a War-Saving' Stamp and Certificate in the name of his baby girl—the granddaughter of President Wilson. The Governors of Massachusetts and Connecticut were the first purchasers in their repective States. The United States Senators came next and other prominent men closely followed. New York plunged into the campaign with a vigor that promises to make the Thrift Stamps and WarSaving bonds and certificates the most popular of all the government loans. Governor Whitman was among the earliest buyers and got a thirst stamp and bond certificate in then ame of each of his two chil- >, dren. Mayor-elect Hyland of New York City did the same for his daughter. In addition to the public men, private citizens by the thousans were in line at the various sales offices. These included not only business and professional men, but wage-earners, women and children. Weary scrub-women, humble tenement dwellers, and ragged newsboys werp interspersed with the well-dres-sed and well-to-do—each anxious for the .Thrift Stamp, even if not able to purchase the interest-bearing bond. There were long lines of these ing buyeffc. “A-quSrter-a-day” clubs were formed each member pledged to purchase a Thrift Stamp each day during the year—amounting to more than enough to fill out the War-Sav-ing Certificates with the twenty stamps that would mean SIOO in 1923. Other “A-quarter-a-week” Clubs were organized, each member thus to become the owner of three bonds worth $15.00. All told, $lO,000,00(1 of the Stamps and certificates were bought in New York on December 3rd and 4th. What will Indiana do on the 10th and 11th?

IS RENSSELAER SATISFIED?

The Evidence is Convincing. The Testimony Open to Investigation. Before a statement can be accepted here, it must be supported by local testimony—by the evidence of someone residing in Rensselaer. Statements from unknown people in remote places may be true, but we cannot prove them. Here is a statement by a Rensselaer resident: C. B. Steward, insurance agent, S. Front & Main Sts., says: “I had been subject to serious attacks of kidney disorder. My back for a long time was lame and sore and I was hardly ever free from backache. Whenever I feel any signs of that'trouble now, or my kidneys are not in good condition, I get a box of Doan’s Kidney Pills at Long’s Drug Store. They quickly fix me up all right. In that way, I keep free from the old suffering and in good health.” Price 60c, at all dealers. Don’t simply ask for a kidney remedy—get Doan’s Kidney Pills—the same that Mr. Steward had.
