THE UNIVERSAL CAB When you buy the Ford Sedan you buy the service and essential comforts of the high-priced limousine —without the big first cost and large operating expense. The Sedan is like the other more than two and three-quarter million Fords in use—low in cost, high in quality and the most economical car to run that was ever built. The Ford Sedan is essentially a family car for every day in the year, meeting all social demands, being easy, and safe for women who drive. Sedan, $695 f. o. b. Detroit. CENTRAL GARAGE CO. Phone 319.

FARMERS SELLING OFF SMALL PIGS

Valparaiso Vidette. According to reports coming in from the rural districts, many farmers throughout the county are disposing of their young pigs to Gary hucksters who go around through the county with the express object in view of buying this class of The little pigs are sought for roasting purposes and the men pay good prices to secure these choice bits of stock. They are taken to the Calumet district and even into Chicago, where a good profit is realized in a resale to people living there. One farmer recently disposed of a lot of twenty-seven to a buyer. The practice of selling this young stock is detrimental to the swine industry in the county. If it continues without interruption there will be a considerable reduction in the total meat supply for next winter. To illustrate the importance of this question and of taking some step to put an end to it, one can take the profit secured from a pig weighing 50 pounds, which amounts to about $3, and compare it with the profit resulting when the pig is sold six or seven months later at a profit of from $lO to sls. This shows that the little pig has a potential revenue later on that is not to be disregarded, and farmers should consider this when they are asked to sell them. It is estimated that 1,000 little pigs have been slaughtered this year in this way. The hucksters will not buy the larger pigs; only the little ones are sought. .Steps will' be taken to bring this matter before the Porter county council of defense and County Food Administrator Charles Link, in order to stop the sale of these little pigs and prevent a reduction in the pork supply of the county.

DR. JOHNSON WRITES RENSSELAER FRIEND

The following letter was received by Charles Darter from Dr.-C. E. Johnson: , • Thursday, June 20, 1918. Dear Friend Charlie: Your letter reached me this morning, which happens to be a cold, wet day, and I enjoyed ever so much to learn that you are still up and going. Its hard to keep a good man down they say, so I have little fear that you won’t manage to keep op your pins. However, you must remember that you are no spring chicken, and a certain amount of care is necessary now, which was not needed in your younger years. You see lam anxious that you Should be the same old Charlie when I get back. I am having a fairly easy time as things go in the army. Have been in a hospital of 800 beds of which 200 are under my Change for several weeks. I enjoy the work very much and am learning things every day—if this war keeps up a few months I will have had considerable experience and hard to get any . where else, so I am not losing anything (but money) while at it. I hear occasionally from Rensselaer. Simon Thompson writer once in a while. Tt seems that a number of the home folks have gone to training camps .since I left. There Ts need of a lot of men in this show over here and 1. believe when all our army hits France, the Germans will have some disagreeable times to face. I don’t mean to insinuate that he hasn’t got his hands full now, but he will certainly feel it when our army gets started- I haven’t been in a dangerous place only once, however, I expect to be in the thick of it before long and am only sorry that T won’t be armed with a regular gun insteac of a hypodermic case. You can imagine a man as fond of shooting as 1. am, being forced to work around a place where one might be used, without a thing to stir the air with. This is a beautiful country, and a shame it is that war has to upset things. However, it isn’t going to last forever and a generation or two will have stopped thinking of it. There are many things I would like to tell you Charlie, but can’t—some day I’ll be back and we’ll have a plenty to visit about for a while. Am comfortable—have plenty to eat ant drink and in fact haven’t a thing to bother me. Would love to sit down to your table for a square meal, however. Thanks for looking after the gun. Give rtiy regards to your sister. As ever, C. E. JOHNSON, Care American Express Co., 6 Hay Market, London.

STANILIS S. BRUSNAHAN WRITES TO HOME FOLKS

France, June 25, 1918. ‘ Dear Folks: I got my firrt mail today which consisted of your letter of April 25th and a card from Ray. Some mail came in yesterday dated the Bth of the month in the states, so you see our mail comes pretty good. v , .. We have been having some real fine weather for a couple of days which we all welcome. The work is getting easier as we get accustomed to it and our work hours are shortened, so in all everything is improving nicely. Near the “Y” is a Hostess House with two American ladies in charge. The house or chateau was once and for. that matter Still is a beautiful place. No doqbt some very rich Frenchman lived there a few years back. We go down to this place nearly every evening after mess. They always have something very good to eat. • Last night we had strawberry short cake and hot chocolate for the sum of one france or seventeen cents in American money. It sure was fine. We were paid last Saturday. It came as a fine surprise, for being so late we thought they would wait until the next month. The French system of money is very easy, but I think it will be sometime before I learn much of. the language. One does not have much dealings with the people and that is the only way one can learn it. Have visited the city of Mehum. Tt sure is an odd place. We walked down the streets instead of the sidewalks and at that we were crowded as they are very narrow. I walked down the street along-side of a “burro” about the size of a dog hitched to a two-wheeled cart. One never sees a four-wheeled wagon, but they have very fine horses. They hitch them -one ahead of the other to these carts. In this town I saw the castle of Charles VII, where Joan of Arc was held prisoner. Joan of Arc’s statue is also there. I did not go through the castle, but I expect to before long. Jim arrived at a camp near here Sunday. I have not seem him yet, but lam going to try to get'a date with him for tomorrow night and meet him half way. I presume that the box you sent will Ibe returned to you. They can only handle so much and they send the rest back. I will have to send you a permit before you can send me a sweater. I will send that with my next letter. Did Lonnie get his furlough? I hope he did for he was perhaps pretty badly needed at home. I don’t envy him at all if he did though for Ke will find it much harder to leave than it was the first time. I thought of trying that myself, but did not do anything for that reason. I guess there 5s still enough at Parr to help you through the rush season. Must Close for tonight. Hopping all at home are as well as myself. I am, CORP. STANILIS S. BRUSNAHAN, Camp U. S. Troops, American Port Office, S. O. S., American Exp. Forces.

BEEKEEPERS ARE ORGANIZING.

A drive to stimulate the production of honey in Indiana this year as one means of helping relieve the sugar shortage has gotten well underway in the state with the organization of beekeepers’ association in seven counties, Daviess, Knox, Posey, Vanderburg, Warrick, Jefferson and Dearborn. E. G. Baldwin, extension agent from the department of agriculture, has been placed in Indiana to co-operate with the extension and entomology departments of Purdue university in extending this organization throughout the state. “Every county could have 10,000 more bee colonies I believe and not have any too many,” said Mr. Baldwin. “Production of honey is aiding now in relieving the sugar shortage, but there is so much honey going to waste in the state that much more could be accomplished along this line if beekeeping was followed more widely.” Sowing of buckwheat in frosted corn areas will provide many more pastures than those already existing for bees in Indiana, Mr. Baldwin pointed out. “Fifty per cent of the bees in the state died last winter because of improper handling during the severe weather,” the bee specialist said. “There are many townships having almost no bees and all counties are deficient in the number of colonies of bees needed to save the vast amount of honey annually gbing to waste in this state. It is safe to say that all over Indiana not five per cent of the available honey is saved for use of man. This is wasted sugar, all the more to be regretted when it .is known that the nectar is secreted jukt the same, whether the bees are there to save it or not. It evaporates and is lost if bees db not gather and Store it. Mr. Baldwin urges beemen throughout the state to help meet this situation by stimulating interest in apiculture and extension of the industry.

GOVERNMENT OWNERSHIP.

Several saffron journals, with customary eloquence are contending that the taking over of the telegraph lines would be in the interest of “the people” and that opposition to such action comes from the interests.” The threat of the president of the telegraphers’ union, who has never been able to shqw that many telegraphers belonged to the union, to call a strike is described as creating a “great emergency, a case of absolute necessity. That, as everybody familiar with the situation knows, is directly contrary to the facts. Passing from question of fact to consideration of theory, one of the pleasantest panaceas held forth by the demagogic press and the wildeyed gentry of the soapbox for the cure of all the ills of the universe has been government ownership of public utilities and everything else. Moves Sn this direction have beenheralded as great advances for “the people.” The .issue in a discussion of public ownership is usually described as one between “the people” and “the interests.” Sensible people will reach their own conclusions as to this. What would “the people” gain, for instance, by public control of the telegraph at this time? What have the German people gained through government ownership of everything? Ts experience is a teacher the American public will pay higher telegraph rates and receive poorer service. Possibly the wages of the employes would be raised, but the public—“the people”—and not the companies would pay them. What would the companies, on the other hand, gain? If the government took them over on the same basis as the railroads were taken over, that is if it would guarantee their earnings on the present scale, they would gain a good deal. Many business men are there who would be pleased to have the government take over their business for the duration of the war and guarantee earnings on the present scale, leaving them without a worry in the world. The companies are not objecting strongly to government control. They stand to gain ifather than lose by it. The politicians, “the interests,” would not lose by it. The public would.—lndianapolis News.
