SHUCKED BEIT

George Moore, of Jackson Township, Shucked and Cribbed 1,396 Bushels in 13 Days—Quit Early

While there are a great many people who claim that they can husk 100 bushels of corn in a day, there is a much larger number who can not do it, and many people who claim that they can shuck 100 bushels in a day more often shuck 75 bushels than 100. Even among good corn huskers those who husk 100 bushels of corn in a day get out very early and stay late. But George Moore, son of Mr. and Mrs. John O. Moore, of Jackson township, seems to be a phenomenal corn husker who is able to husk more than 100 bushels of corn per day, and have his work done by the tjme the children are going home from school. He is. not one of the huskers who shuck 100 bushels one day and who the next three or four days husk 75 bushels. He worked for Lewis E. Simmons and in 13 days husked and cribbed 1,396 bushels of corn. All of the corn was weighed or put in measured cribs. He was in the field early, but was out of it early the evening. One load each day was unloaded in the cribs on the farm where the corn grew, and the other was hauled to another farm. In going to and from the field the team was driven in a walk. All of the above facts were obtained from a reliable source, and go to prove Mr. Moore to be a wonderful corn husker one day after another.

Truman Felt, son of Judge E. W. Felt of the Appellate Court, who is a student of the Shortridge High School at Indianapolis, was one of the publid debaters in his class this week.

HUNDREDS AT SUPPER IN BASEMENT OF CHURCH FRIDAY EVENING—GREAT SUPPER

MUSIC AND A SOCIAL

The Methodists of Greenfield indulged in a great feast and merrymaking in the church basement Friday evening. There were several hundreds in attendance, and they report a good time throughout the evening.

The feast prepared by the ladies of the church consisted of bread and butter and loaf sandwiches, baked beans, salad, pickles, pie, doughnuts and coffee. There was nothing formal about the supper. Every person was provided- with a plate, spoon and fork, and as they passed around the table containing the "eats" their plates were filled. It is said that there were very few who failed to take their appetites with them to the church. It was 8 o'clock before all had been served, and a short program was then given by Mrs. Henderson, Dr. J. W. Sparks, Louis Heinrich and Rev. Smith.

It was a jolly crowd and every one had a good time, unless, mayhap, the ladies who prepared and served the supper failed to get as much enjoyment out of it as did those who were only partakers of the good cheer, but they made no complaint. The ladies were given an enthusiastic vote of thanks and it was unanimously agreed by the men that if they insisted on doing so, they would be allowed to repeat the supper at some future time.

Misses Mary Rose Quigley and Nelle Reed entertained Friday evening at a miscellaneous shower at the home of Miss Reed, for Miss Beulah Meek, who will be married Tuesday, November 25th, to Lawrence Garriott. The Reed home was decorated with pink hearts. Refreshments of brick ice cream, with pink hearts molded in the center cake, coffee, mints and nuts were served. In the bottom of the nut cups were sealed envelopes containing the announcements of the engagement of Miss Nelle Reed to Samuel J. Offutt, whose marriage will take place during the holidays.

This is Some Trick.

The Department of Agriculture claims to have uncovered a trick used by some chicken dealers. They feed the chickens large quantities of sand just before selling them to make them weigh heavier. The sand is mixed with corn meal and the fowls are fed red pepper to give them an abnormal appetite. The department has sent out warning to buyers to beware of the trick.
