liarvest Meeting Sidelights. Among the ideas advanced by threshermen at the harvest meeting last Saturday which were not developed for lack of time was that threshing may be expedited greatly by the proper shocking of grain. Shocks properly made will keep grain from one end of the •eason to the other in good condition, while bundles thrown loosely together will collect dampness that will make clean threshing impossible. An experienced thresherman made the statement that poor shocking caused enough loss in threshing to pay the entire threshing bill. Another point that developed was that maximum power cannot be developed on dirty water. Insufficient power causes poor threshing. A thresherman stated that farmers seldom give attention to this matter and if the wind is not blowing to pump well water, the thresherman is expected to take water from mudholes and ditches. The threshers are asking the farmers to provide plenty of clean water just as they are expected to furnish good coal, and state that the . extra grain saved will pay for the trouble. In all probability much of the grain will have to be binned this season as usual, and it was pointed out that now is the time when bins must be placed in shape. Loss through leakage, rats and dampness should not be tolerated this season.

Silo Meeting at Wheatfield. A silo meeting will be held in the Primo theatre at Wheatfield I Thursday evening, June 27, im-i mediately following the ’ picture show. Prof. John W. Schwab of Purdue will be the principal speaker of the evening. He will bring the latest information as to the results that have been secured from the use of silage in livestock feeding and explain the state campaign for more silos. The State Council of Defense has asked the three northern townships of this county tp erect twenty-one silos this sea-j son. County Chairman Edd. J. Randle has arranged this meeting as the beginning of a campaign to fill this quota. More Shorthorns. Selmer Bros, of Gillam township ' purchased three head of registered Shorthorns at the Winn sale a’tj Lucerne on June 10, at an average] of about S7OO per head. While these tmen have a small herd, they' hre beginning by getting good blood and good individuals and are laying the foundation for an excellent ] herd of these popular cattle. Cattle-; men report that the future has never been brighter for the pure-] bred cattle business. Rosen Rye Popular. Rosen rye, a variety introduced into Michigan by a Russian student a few years ago, has been extremely populai in northern Indiana for several seasons. Advices from Laporte, St. Joseph, Elkhart and Allen counties indicate that it may be expected to yield about ten bushels per acre more than the common' rye usually grown, djie to the fact that it pollinates perfectly. The Better Farming association hopes

1 Why Swift & Company Has Grown The fact that a business organization has grown steadily for forty years proves that it has kept continually meeting a vital business demand. It must have kept “fit” or it could not have stood the strain of evershifting conditions. Swift & Company has been trained in the school of experience. Every day of its forty years of service has solved some new problem of value to its customers. Every year has proved its ability to learn by experience, and to use this knowledge for the benefit of those with whom it deals. Swift & Company, U. S. A.

to induce a number of farmers in different parts of the county to give it a thorough trial here. Already about 600 bushels of seed rye have been spoken for and it is probable that much more will be tried. Farmers desiring to give the variety a trial will be put in touch with sources of seed through the Better Farming office. Livestock Breeders Meet Saturday. President Fred Phillips has called a meeting of the Conuty Livestock Breeders association t’o be held at the Better Farming office Saturday afternoon, June 22, at 2 o’clock. It has been found necessary to change the date of the fall livestock show and sale and a new date will be selected. Other matters of interest to all breeders will be brought up. Canning Season Is On. The first canning demonstration was given at the home of Mrs. Nelson Sanders, arranged for by Mrs. Jay W. Stockton. Several kinds of fruits and vegetables were canned. Drying was discussed.

The weighing and measuring will show .whether your child is of normal weight and height. If much below

the child’s health needs careful attention. The physical examination given by the doctor will be for bad tonsils, adenoids, bad teeth, etc. A great deal of good can be done. Every baby in Jasper county, precious as it has been, is twice as precious now as in normal times. Bring your child to the headquarters In the ladies’ rest room at the court house. Open every afternoon. Report of Girls' Poultry (Tub. Rensselaer Girls’ Poultry club met at the library Monday afternoon. "How to Set and Care for a Hen” was discussed in general.

WAR HINTS, HELPS AND DUTIES

Compiled for the State Council of Defense by George Ade. The boys at the front have shown their mettle. We know that they can meet the Huns and down them, man for man, IF they are in good physical condition and the proper fighting tools are constantly passed up to them from behind the lines. Who must furnish supplies of every description? You! When you see a war duty headed toward you, meet it half way and shake hands. The grouch has less market value at this moment than ever before in the history of the world. The program of the food administration is to put less into the garbage pail and take more out. It you waste your garbage you may find it impossible to look a hog in the fade. It is true that the wheat harvest will be more than abundant. If the government decides that a surplus I must be stored and asks you to continue mixing in a substitute with the white flour, you won't weep an over the grocery store or ask foolish questions, will you? We thought not. A lot of farm labor in Indiana will have to be done this year by hands who are either green or rusty. A patient employer and a willing worker will get along all right together in the end.

The “work or fight"order becomes effective July 1. If you are regis tered for service and suspect that you may be classed as an “idler,” go to your local draft board and find out where you stand. Now is the time of year for using the short-lived foods grown near I home, s<r as to liberate the concentrated and staple foods which I must be sent abroad. Don t forget the late plantings. Keep on !>eg ' ging seed into the ground. Ise home vegetables until frost comes. To Mrs. Housewife: Can or preserve every ounce of fruit or vegetables that you can get hold of. All the home-canned stuff will be for civilian use. For several reasons it cannot be sold or given to the army. If you are a farmer, you had better consider the wisdom of storing your grain or stacking it. Elevator men are urging farmers to hold back deliveries so that all the grain in the world will not be trying to get frow the tail-end of the machine into tthe elevator, all at one time.

Get ready to cut down on beef again. And, while you are cutting down, don’t roast the food administration for shifting regulations. Conditions change rapidly these days. Who could have foretold, a few months ago, the enormous movement of troops to France? Beef is needed for export and it .must be had, and we are. not goSng to look at it oftener than about twice a week. Substitute pork products for beef. Also, conserve sugar. Use it as if it cost $1 a pound and you were a step-mother. The government will let you have some sugar for canning and preserving but play fair when you put in your order and don’t try to grau somebody else’s supply.

If June 28 comes around and you have not givep a pledge to takx some of the War Savings Stamps, you had better examine your birth certificate once more and make sure that you are an American. A new law in New York prohibits the employment of women under twenty-one as telegraph messengers. | Notice of Bridge Repair Letting No. 3154. Notice is - hereby given that on Monday, July 1, 1918, the Board of Commissioners of Jasper county, Indiana, will receive sealed proposals for the construction of Bridge Repair in Jordan township over the Nesius ditch on the north and south road between section 28 and 29, township 28 north, range 6 west, Jasper county, Indiana.

OFFICIAL FOOD NEWS

By Dr. Harry E. Barnard,

Food Administrator for Indiana.

Indiana hotels and restaurants have been directed by Dr. Barnard to refrain from placing on their menus or serving boiled beef for more than two meals weekly, beefsteak for more than one meal a week; and roast beef for more than one meal a week. Householders are asked under no circumstances to buy more than one and one-fourth pounds of beef per week, clear, or one and a half pounds with bone, for each member of the household. The use of pork and pork products in substitution is urged. The rule is expected to hold until September 15.

For making a false affidavit that they had not purchased any sugar on contract, the establishment of Zarafonetis Brothers of Clinton, Indiana, was ordered closed by Dr. Barnard. The firm was found to have 2,000 pounds of sugar in transit from a Chicago wholesale house when it made application for an allotment of 9,100 pounds for ice-cream and candy making purposes. Dr. Barnard directed William C. Wait, food administrator of Vermillion county, to close the place. George K. Johnson, president of the Indianapolis Retail Grocers’ Association, “has joined the staff of Dr. Harry E. Barnard, federal food administrator for Indiana, to have charge of the retail grocers’ division. He will work without compensation, and devote himself immediately to the task of establishing a system of price reporting and interpretation, such as has been effective in maintaining uniform retail prices in other states. John H. Bergdoll, county food administrator for Ripley county, was authorized by Dr. Harry E. Barnard, federal food administrator for Indiana, to seize all sugar in excess of 25 pounds shipped into his county for individual consumption. Mr. Bergdoll reported the shipment of 100 pounds of sugar from the Kroger Grocery and Baking Company of Cincinnati, Ohio, to Mary Shook of Milan, Indiana. The firm has been warned against this infraction of the rule. *

Every church and every lodge In Indiana has been asked to nominate a member who shall serve as a deputy food administrator. The chief duty to be asked of these deputies is to assist in the dissemination of information and literature bearing upon the food administration’s program. Indiana United States food club presidents will meet in state-wide conference at the Claypool hotel, Indianapolis, June 27. The meeting is expected to include representatives of every township in the state. The sale of sugar and flour on public markets, except by established dealers who Serve customers with other staples every day, is forbidden by the food administration. Sales of sugar have been limited to two pounds to city customers and five pounds to rural customers, and the assurance of supply to manufacturers of non-essentials has been withdrawn. Soda fountain operators have been cautioned not to serve sundaes or special drinks requiring sugar syrups. The sugar situation is serious and the strictest conservation and limitation of .the rations of each individual to three pounds per month is absolutely necessary if. the housewife is to be supplied with her canning and preserving requirements.
