Department of farm Welfare Conducted by County Agent Stewart Learning.

To Explain U. S. Grain Standards Representatives of the U. S- bureau of markets will hold an exhibition and demonstration for the purpose of explaining the different standard grades of grains at the court house at Lafayette on June 16 at 1:30 o’clock. Federal grain specialists will demonstrate moisture testing, sampling, determination of dockage on tarious kinds of grain, testing for weight per bushel, determination of foreign imatter in grain, obtain percentage of heat and other damage, discuss classes of grain and explain in detail the application of federal standards which are of interest to every farmer. This meeting will be held in connection with the county agents’ district conference. The grading of grain Is a matter not well understood by the majority of our grain producers. This meeting gives elevator operators and farmers alike an opportunity to study the subject and this county should be well represented at that time. Bee Keepers' Tour An all-day rain Wednesday, the 21st, did not dampen the ardor of members of the County Bee Keepers’ association who made a tour of the greater part of the county to get first-hand information upon the methods of .caring for bees. The tour was in charge of Frank Foltz of the local association and of E. G. Baldwin of the U. S. department of agriculture. One of the points 'brought out

on the trip was what most of our bees are still kept in box hives or. in standard hives with crooked combs. This in contrary to the law > and is a matter which local bee. men are urged to attend to this] at once. Mr. Baldwin gave demon-■ st rations of the proper methods of, transferring bees from these hives into modern hives with straight' combs. “ I Many colonies were found to b« weak on account of the light honey I flow this season. These were doubled up, two and three colonies being united into one. A great deal of disease was’ found in She bee yards, especially ] the European foul brood and Mr. 1 Baldwin explained its presence and showed how it could be controlled. Several cases of American foul brood were found. The association will hold a meet-, ing at the court house on June 10 ■ at 1:30. The subject will be “How| to Control swarming” and ‘‘How to Get the Honey.” " The organization is growing in strength and influence and invites everyone to attend its meeting. Farmers’ Clubs Professor G. M. Frier of Purdue university will speak at the meeting of the Milroy Country club to be held at Milroy church Saturday evening, May 31, at 8 o’clock. The public is invited to attend. Mr. Frier has a splendid reputation as a public speaker and persons from adjoining townships will find it worth while to attend. The North Union Farmers’ club has arranged for an unusually strong program for the June meeting to be held at Virgie June 7. I R. S. Thomas of th 3 Purdue soils department will speak. Officers of the County Betterment association have been placed on the program,. The Parr Community clun will hold a meeting at the Parr school house on the evening of June 10. The program will include an address by John Brown, president of the Indiana Federation of Farmers. Rooster Week June 2 to O June 2 to 6 has been set aside as rooster week by the Indiana Poultry Dealers’ association. During this week members of the association have agreed to offer extra inducements to ipoultry raisers to dispose of all their roosters. This is not only a good business proposition for the poultry dealers in decreasing their losses from eggs spoiled while in their possession but it benefits the poultry producer fully as much as the loss from spoilage must be absorbed in a measure by the producer and consumer.

Rooster week has been observed fairly generally in this locality for a number of years and the number of roosters marketed during the week has steadily increased, according to the reports of the poultry dealers. The poultry and egg producers have never had a better opportunity to make money than at present. Attention €b this small detail of the business will remove a cause-* of loss and annoyance all along the line from the producer to consumer.

OL’ MAN TROUBLE.

"I’ll never mind him an' I U start de work anew." Ol' Man Trouble kep’ a-hangln’ on my track. Ho got to callin' names an' tried to make me answer back But J simply let ‘tm holler an' I only stopped to say, "I aln‘t got time to argue, 'cause dis is my busy day.” Ol' Man Trouble got so ugly In his ways He bought a keg o' powder an' ho tried to start a blase. Den I says. ''Mlstah Trouble, since yoh other name is 'Hun* Dis Is where I lose my patience an’ I got * to git a gun.” -Philander Johnson In Washington Star

WERE NOT TAKING CHANCES

Citizens of Petunia Had a Reason for Avoiding Anything That Looked Like Trouble. “What’s the matter with the folks in thia town, anyhowT” demanded old Lab Snuckles, drawing rein In front of the blacksmith shop In Petunia. "Is the white cups around or the grand jury In session, or whut? I rid up to the Right Place store, tied my mule, and started in. I had a switch in my hand, and I sorter larruped my britches with it to get the dust off. as any gent would. The storekeeper was behindthe counter, and the minute I switched my leg he dropped something that smashed on the floor, and lit out of the back door like a bat out of torment. A good deal the same thing happened at a couple of other places. I don’t look like I wanted to kill anybody, do ir “No, I reckon not,” replied the village chestnut, who stood beneath the blacksmith’s spreading tree. ’’But the news was norated around town a spell ago that a grass widder lady, name not given, was on the street some’rs, with a rawhide in her hand, and muttering something about a prominent business man. So you see how it —yaw-w-wn 1 —was.” —Kansas City Star.

The D. S. M. Is of Bronze.

The Distinguished Service medal is of bronze, with the eagle in the middle, crowned with 13 stars. Around the eagle, in gold letters on blue enamel, are the words: “For Distinguished Service, MCMXVIII.” The ribbon has a white center, with a pin stripe of dark blue edging the white and a band of red at either end. The D. 8. M. may be awarded to any one who distinguishes himself —or herself —by exceptionally meritorious service to the government in a duty of great responsibility in time of war or in connection with operations against an armed enemy of the United States. The D. S. C. is awarded for exceptional gallantry in action only; the th S. M. may be awarded to soldiers in the service overseas, or to persons in civil life back home who are engaged In war work of some kind. — Stars and Stripes, France.

Felt Pinch of War.

Even far away Iceland felt the pinch of war. Increase In the average prices of necessaries at Reykjavik, the principal city, last July amounted to 211 per cent when contrasted with their cost In July, 1914, as shown by data appearing in the journal of the Icelandic statistical department. If coal and petroleum, which show Increases over prices in July, 1914, of 1,051 and 217 per cent, respectively, be omitted, and the comparison be limited to articles of food alone, it Is stated that the average increase was 190 per cent, as compared with July, 1914. The extent to which certain of the principal groups of food have risen in price in Iceland since the outbreak* of the European war may be seen from the following official compilation: Bread, 201; flour, oatmeal, beans, etc., 284; sugar, 136; coffee, tea, cocoa, chocolate, 109; butter, fat, milk, cheese and eggs, 235; beef, mutton, bacon and pork, 136.

Generous Humorist

“You say you are out of work, eh?” said the humorist, eyeing the tramp narrowly. “Well, boss,” said the tramp, “I suppose some folks’ld put It that way; but, knowln’ my case as I do, to tell the honest truth, It ain’t so much me that’s out o’ work as it is that the work is out o’ me.” And the humorist, realizing that the joke was not less than $2, generously gave the honest fellow ten cents to relieve his Mfiimedlate necessities.

Good Place to Live.

The United States has only 7 per cent of the world’s area and 0 per cent of her population, but she possesses 75 per cent of the corn, 60 per cent of the cotton, 66 per cent of the petroleum, 50 per cent of the copper, 40 per cent of the iron, 40 per cent of the coal, 40 per cent of the railways, 85 per cent of the banking power, 80 per cent of the manufactures, 80 per cent of the wealth and 25 per cent of the wheat.

Qualified.

Mrs. Van Joans —How did your son happen to join the cavalry? Mrs. DeSmythe—Oh, he thought he knew so much about horses. You see, he'found a buggy whip once when he

Plucky.

Soldiers as a rule are plucky fellows when wounded. This story Is told of one: He came in on a stretcher —sacs all bruised and swollen, eyes protruding, all full of mud and bits of stone. There wasn't an inch of bls body without its own bruise or cut. He’d been standing In a muddy place and a big obua had plumped Into the ground just in front of him, and then, from a couple of feet down, had gone off and np. ’ As he opened hie eyes the doctor said to him: ’’Ton must have had a pretty rough passage.” He replied: “Nothing tn IL Mr—nothing In It. I’ll >e all right after I’ve had a shave."

Over the Top.

Jim Royse, chairman of Vigo county’s Liberty loan drives, was so emphatic In urging Vigo county to go over the top In every drive that he has frequently been known as “Over the Top Jlin Royse.” Some of the youngsters have also learned of the title, hs Is proved by the following: Recently one of the school teachers In this district was teaching her pupils local history. She asked them to write sentences tn which they used the names of the city’s representative men. Among the first sentences of one little uptown newsboy was this one: "There ought to be hair Over the Top Jim Royse's head, but there ain’t.” —lndlanuj>ollH News.

Too Much Pay.

A Swansea (Wales) worker took advantage of a short strike to go and see the doctor about some mysterious malady which was pursuing him. The doctor had a long chat (as doctors do with patients) about everything except his complaint, and then told him: “I can see what you are suffering from, my friend —under-work and over-pay. You won’t get well till after the war."

The Flow of Spirits.

Highlife—Well, we celebrated peace with a champagne party at our house last night. Sloe I’ooak—Gee. a regular uncorking good time, eh 7

There is more Catarrh In this section of the country than all other diseaces put together, and for years it was supposed to be incurable. Doctors prescribed local remedies, and by constantly falling to cure with local treatment, pronounced it Incurable. Catarrh is a local disease, greatly influenced by constitutional conditions and therefore required contltutlonal treatment. Hall’s Catarrh Medicine, manufactured by F. J. Cheney & Co., Toledo, Ohio, Is a constitutional remedy, is taken Internally and acts through the blood on Jmb mucous surfaces of the system One Hundred Dollars reward is offered for any case that Hall's Catarrh Medicine falls to cure.

RECORD OF THE PAST

No Stronger Evidence Can Be Had in Rensselaer. Look well to their record. What they have done many times in years gone by is the best guarantee of future results. Anyone with a bad back;, any reader suffering from urinary troubles, from kidney ills, should find comforting words in the following statement: Mrs. Wm. Moore, Elm St., Rensselaer, says: “I suffered from kidney trouble. I had backaches and headaches for a long .time, I had no strength or ambition and |s>uldn’t sleep well. I could hardly turn in bed on Recount of the lameness in my back. I couldn’t do my housework and I knew that my kidneys were weak. Finally I got Doan’s Kidney Pills and they cured me of all those ailments. <* have never had an attack since.” (Statement given May 31, 1907.) On February 29, 1916, Mrs. Moore said: “I am never without Doan’s in the house. They are the best kidney medicine I know of.” Price 60c, at all dealers. Don’t simply ask 'for a kidney remedy—get Doan’s Kidney Pills —the same that Mrs. Moore had. Foster-Mil-burn Co., Mfgrs.,, Buffalo, N. Y. — Adlvt.
