V Harvey Davisson, trustee of Union /m. is another jasper "county farmer who has recently purchased an auto. He* has had the machine for a couple of weeks, having bought It second hand in Chicago, but while he has been in The Democrat office several times riihce then he had never mentioned if to urf.’ We guess Harvey hail stoppd outside 6f town with the auto for fear the newspapers would get onto It and say that he had made enough out of the trustee’s office to buy’ an automobile and' therefore the agltotion being made to haVo the’feoming legislatufe raise the per diem of townslip trustees from $2 per day to |3 per day is unnecessary. Harvey’s machine is a Buick,* last year’s model, with top and other accessories, and is a nice lookthg auto and shows but little wear.

TO NUMBER COUTRY HOUSES.

Indiana Legislature May be Asked 15 to a Maaitoiv> A. L. pancroft, the California man who recently unfolded to the Indiana, Congress of Farmers a plan tot naming country roads and numbering country houses, has - prepared A bill which he will have introduced at the coming session of. the Legislature. It provides that county commissioners be given the optional right to introduce the system into their counties and to force And maintain it. plan is novel and appears to be practical, and was recently described at length. Its aim is to make locations quite as definite in l the country as they are in towns anil cities where numbering of houses is established. Where the courthouse is centerally located in a county the people are advised to take that as the pivot "or base for numbering. All roads are to be named and all accurately measured. Each mile of “road front” ’IS* divided into ten technical'*“block” and the numbering is designed 1 so'that ft not- only indicates whether the house is -oni the right or left side of the road, but also the exact distance from the pivot,'evefi to the'tenth of a mile.; The' country • house ' htttnbering “ bill will at least attract a tfreat deal of attention; and may have the support of the Indiana Farmers’ Congress, Which meets during the Legislature.

Tuberculosis In Animals. The International congress oh tuberculosis which recently met ih Washington. as a Whole, dealt especially with human tuberculosis, but considerable attention 'whs directed to tuberculosis in domestic' anftnals and notably to questions dealing with the milk and meat supply* and with the inspection of these products. One of the seven sections into which the congress was divided devoted itself especially to these topics, and the genend addresses before the congress, as' a Whole, Included a lecture by Professor Barnard Bang Wf Copenhagen on “Studies In Tuberculosis In Domestic Animals and Wbat We May Learn Regarding Human Tuberculosis.” An extended discussion followed the reaffirmation by Professor Dr. Robert Koch of Berlin of his theory as to the nonidentlty and nontransmlssibillty of human and bovine tuberculosis, after which a resolution was Unanimously adopted recommending “that preventive measures be continued against bovine tuberculosis and that the possibility of the propagation of this to man be recogniibd.” The very extensive exhibits from the various countries In America and Europe attracted much attention and presented a vast amount of illustrative material of rare educational value. Phases dealing especially with the prevention and treatment of the disease in its early stages predominated, there being a great variety of models *of sanitoria and special appliances. James J. Hill’s Idea of a Farm. There' will " be much discussion of farming for the next few months from 'many angles, one among them being the most Useful size of farms. We do not wish to be one sided and shall always state fairly the large farm or combination arguments, but it seems 'to us that farining in this respect te ! the exception a tnong businesses. Economy tn the cost of supervision is the only reason for the expansion of the unit in any business, and land Is mote productive under the Small farm system./Even if larger farm units are possible they are not desirable. We doto«t want the European regime of ai> overlord with tenant farmers. We Want the greatest number of independent .little farmers, who; hardly need even one farm h»nd w Jamed J. Hill has more sense than nearly all of the professors, and he delivered an opinion two years ago to the effect that the individual farmer must have sawer acres and more hoes.
