NO LABOR TROUBLE OR CLOCK PUNCHING HERE

Chas A. Lytle, who came to this county from Rensselaer two years ago, but is originally from Illinois, resides two miles south of town, where he is farming 350 acres of land belonging to Will Gray and’ the Horner estate. Mr. Lytle started as a yearly renter, which owing to mutual satisfaction of landlord and tenant, has been made a five year lease. Mr. Lytle Tias six sons, four of whom are full fledged farmers, each performing his full share in the cultivation and harvest of crops. The oldest is 28 and the youngest past 14 of the four in active duties. None of these boys has any desire to quit the farm and seek less inviting tasks in the city. Scarcity of farm hands has no terror for Mr. Lytle, who is prospering in com-' mon with those who constitute his family. It is not uncommon for farmers to have sons, but it is too often the case they, give up the calling for which they are best fitted for employment which at best is a poor substitute for their native heath. —Monon News.
