The shortest and best road to Monon now is to turn south from the road - heretofore traveled some miles east of Pleasant Ridge on the road leading to McCoysburg and turning east at the end of the road. This takes one over the three-quartey mile of new road, known as the Clark joint stone road, connecting Jasper and White counties with heretofore existing stone roads, thence down througn Lee. This is quite a little shorter than the hid route and the road is good except that the recently completed Clark road is not well packed as yet and it really should bo rolled. There . seem% to be plenty of material on this new road, however, and the road is of good width.

Most of our local people who have new potatoes to sell are making the mistake of bringing in all the little ones with those of fit size for cooking, and as a result they do not find the ready Sale for them that they would otherwise, as neither the grocer nor the consumer wants to purchase potatoes that are too small for use. Sort out the small ones, wash them and cook for the chickens or pigs. Mixed with ground feed or bran they make an excellent feed for chickens or hogs. But don’t bring them to town and expect to receive a top price for such mixed product.

that t-.e high cost of living has not hn tueni Uo hard down there as in no northern counties. One young‘man who lives in Greenville, Eioyd county, says new potatoes are soling lor 4u, cents a peck, gieen oeabs 25 cents a bushel, and other garden produce in like proportion, the Hoods during the month of May delayed corn planting and much ot it was planted the first week oi July and now the crops are suffering iroin rain.— Benton Review'. Flour manufacturers and grain men of southern Indiana, southern Illinois and western Kentucky held a meeting at Evansville 'iuesday afternoon, at which crop conditions, food regulation, and other questions were discussed. ike millers announced that Ikej have staited to pay $2.03 a bushel for new wheat, which is $ 1.05 more a bushel than they paid last year this time, lhe millers reported the w'heat yield in their section larger than last year. Tltae quality of the grain was reported lino and the yield' will average from twenty to thirty bushels to the acre. , Another Logansport paper has given up the ghost. The weekly Times, after au existence of thirty years, announced last week that that issue was the last one. For many years the paper was pub* lished by C. O. Fenton, and for a time after his death by his daughter, Miss Sadie, who was drowned a little over a year. ago. Since then it has been in the hands of

the Time Printing company. The large advance in price of labor, paper and other materials entering into the publication of a new-i----p&per are given as among the principal reasons for the discontinuance. This leaves Logansport with but two papers, both dailies, whereas a few years ago there were four dailies and two weeklies. Cows won’t make milk out of water and air. [National Crop Improvement Servica.] Starchy feeds like corn and oats often sell as high as protein feeds because of the demand for thenfc for horses and other work animals. Starchy feeds are also good to fatten steers. That is why they are often as high in price as dairy feeds, which are strong in protein. ■ [Nation*! Crop Improvement Service.) Home-grown grains can often be profitably traded for protein feeds. While oats are generally demanded for horse feed, they are nearly always too expensive for dairy feed. Oats by-prod-ucts, however, %re very useful tor bulk. If It’s anything in cardboards, cards, envelopes or papers of any kind The Democrat undoubtedly has It.
