team at Pendleton.

During most of Young’s high school career he was on the high school basketball and track teams. He made a name for himself which he carried with him to Depauw University. During his college career he stacked his own grit up against

GROW OWN CHICK FEED, SAVE MONEY

COUNTY AGENT OF JEFFERSON COUNTY GIVES GOOD ADVICE ! TO THE FARMERS.

A copy of Harper’s Weekly, styled

“A Journal of Civilization,” dated New York, February 23, 1867, was found at the J. E. McCurry furniture store Thursday by members of the store. The magazine was concealed behind the mirror of an old dresser.

The magazine is 56 years old. The magazine is most interesting.

The photograph? are very amusing, showing the old style dress worn in the 18th century. The jokes in the paper are as humorous as those of

t oday.

It is not known how the magazine got behind the mirror, but it is presumed that it was put there to make the mi-ror more substantial or to prevent its being broken in case of

moving.

MADISON, Ind., Aug. 9.—A large number of farmers in Jefferson county who are feeding poultry will find it more practical and economical to produce a large percentage of their own feeds, says B. H. Doddridge, the county agent. Wheat, co-n, buckwheat, sunflower and Kaffir corn can be grown on most farms, Mr. Dod-

dridge says.

The county agent declares that ! while it may be necessary to buy I some tankage when there is a suffi- , cient amount of skim milk to supply the protein demands of chickens, practically all other feeds can be I grown on the farm. Mr. Doddridge also points out , that where a farmer produces his | own feed he gets it at a vvholesale ' price, while if he purchases it, it is . necessary to pay a retail price and 1 ■ freight charges. There are a large number of chickens in Jefferson
