COUNTY CORRESPONDENCE

BARKLEY. Mr. and Mrs. Paul Swaim of Buchanan, Mich., visited the last of last week at the home of Mrs. Swaim’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. .Otto Adams. Attend the meeting Friday night at Barkley church and help organize a “Community Night.” Mrs. Carl Boerstler of Cincinnati, Ohio, is visiting at the home of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. J. C. Bates. If you have boys growing up in your home and want them to stay on the farm, good social life, right in their community will held to keep them where yoy *want them. This is a part of the “Community night” plans. Miss Viola Wolf, who has been real sick with whooping cough, is somewhat improved at this writing. The Fred Markin family were callers Sunday at the W. L. Wood home in Rensselaer, just to take a peek at the new little Miss Brusnahan. The Gerry Snedeker family left for their new h'ome nea¥ Buchanan, Mich., Monday morning. The going of this family is a great loss to Barkley township and the neighborhood in which they lived. Their many friends and neighbors who regret their leaving wish them the best of prosperity and good luck in their new and own home. The Ferdinand Laughman family moved onto the farm occupied by Wm. Snedeker, of Rensselaer, Monday. Plans have been made to hold a meeting at Barkley church, Friday 1 evening of this week for the purpose of making one night, at least, each week a “Community Night.” There will be a short program and plenty of time for suggestions and discussion of the best plans to follow. ' Everybody in the community, regardless of church affiliations are invited and urged to be present. There being still many cases of whooping cough in the community, will make it impossible for entire families, in some cases, to attend, but each home ought to send at least one representative. The young people are to have a large place in these plans and it is hoped a large number of them will be present Friday evening. t: There will be Sunday school at Barkley church Sunday morning at ten o’clock. At eleven o’clock the pastor will preach. There is no scarlet fever in our immediate vicinity and if your boys and girls are going to school there is no more danger of them getting it at church or Sunday school than there is in their school room. ? There are .no recent new cases of whooping cough and we believe it is perfectly safe to bring your children to Sunday school. We are glad to hear that some of the folks who have had to stay at home on account of

1 the whooping cough are anxious to be back again to services. It is a fine indication of a desire for the best things «in life when people feel they lose something when they are denied the privilege of attending ' church. The Bible says “Blessed are they who .hunger and thirst after righteousness. The church is Christianity organized for the dispensing of righteousness. There were two who united with our church at the last morning preaching service, and there are others who are seriously considering the matter. If you live in this community afiiliate with this church and when you move you may again have your letter.

GOAT MILK TO COMBAT HIGH LIVING COST

Dissatisfied with the prevailing high cost of milk, several Rensset laer citizens have fostered a plan whereby they hope to bring about a price adjustment on thia commodity in what is to be the first of a series of drives to bring prices nearer a pre-war level, the movement to be launched and perfected by the Jasper County Shippers’ Association, who have already been approached on the subject and looked upon it favorably. The plan adopted calls for' the stocking of a farm with goats, the farm to be under the supervision of. an efficient man who is well acquainted with this type of dairying. The idea is not an original one on the part of those who have suggested the movement to compel the lowering of milk prices, for it has been practiced in many other states with great success. In New York it is practiced on a wide scale.and goat milk is a common table article. The movement has steadily moved westward and suburbanites of many middle western cities have found this style of dairying a profitable venture. Goat milk is said to be unusually healthful for invalids and infants, in. fact more so than that of the cow, and the price is much cheaper. The suggestion has been made that a great many goats could be owned in the city and that they could be herded on vacant lots, street sides and alleys. This iherding could be assigned by the mayor to a number of idle people of the city, thereby reducing the number of policemen employed. School boys and girls, when found dis-' obeying the school attendance law, I could be turned over to the county attendance officer, Philip Blue, who could assign the offenders a certain number of goats to herd until the guilty ones were willing to reentet school. The city might own a large flock of these useful animals and encourage early rising by offering the milk free to the first party to milk the goats each morning. Why not have a municipal goat herd? We suggest that the matter be referred to Councilman Conrad Kellner by the Mayor and we are sure the supply of milk could be increased, the idle could be employed, the truants could be punished, street sides, alleys and vacant lots could be kept free of high grass and weeds and in the end peace and prosperity would be fully and firmly Istablished. At the next meeting of the Shippers’ Association the proposition will be discussed and plans may be perfected for the early launching of the movement in the county. “Own your own goat,” is going to be a popular slogan within a short time, that is if the city refuses to put in a municipal goat yard.
