Experts or Theorists— Which? The packing industry is intricate, complex—far more so than the railroads or the telegraph. Every day multiplying needs of society increase its problems and multiplying responsibilities demand more of it Highly trained experts, specialists of years* experience, thinkers and creative men, devote their lives, their energies, their activities, to solving the problems of the packing industry and meeting its widening duties. Swift & Company is not a few dozen packing plants, a few hundred branch houses, a few thousand refrigerator cars, and a few million dollars of capital, but an organization of such men. It is the experience, intelligence, initiative and activity which operates this physical equipment Can this intelligence, this experience, this initiative and creative effort which handles this business at a profit of only a fraction of a cent per pound from all sources, be fostered through the intervention of political theorists, however pure their purposes ? Or be replaced by legislation ? Does Congress really think that it can ? Let us send you a Swift “Dollar”. It will interest you. Address Swift & Company, Union Stock Yards, Chicago, DI.

JACKSON TP., NEWTON COUNTY Cai you beat It —that Republican tax levy? Mrs. Dice Ellis of Morocco was taken to Loingcliff recently for treatment. Utaless we have rain soon the acreage of wheat sown in this vicinity willbe comparatively small. This is the season of the year when the farmer kind-a stops to get his breath ana look arouinid a little. The Kankakee fair last week is said to have been the most successful of any fair ever held at that place. Oscar Schanlaub tells us that he has bought a farm near Francesville and that he expects to take possession of same next spring. Park Baldwin, formerly of this township, but now of Morocco, who is taking treatment at a Chicago hospital, is said to be recovering. Clarence Blankenbaker sold $2,-

300 worth of hogs the other day. Got his porkers to market just a day or two before the drop in price. Yes, yes, Old Subscriber, your house is your castle, but don’t make the mistake of regarding it as being your brewery and distillery also. Another thing about these women helpers in the coming campaign, will you call, them committeemen or committee women? Maybe this will detain you for a while. Having grown weary of riding in the old family chariot and taking the dust of an unfeeling public, Miss Mary Burns has bought a fine, new, Oakland automobile. Jess Miller has bought the Ernie Schanlaub twenty acres in north Jackson township. Consideration $2,800. Ernie will move to his recently (purchased farm just west of Mt. Ayr. Speaking of the country newspaper, may we not call attention to the following, which appeared recently in a rural periodical? “For Sail —A good cow. Gives milk also a hay rake and a mowing machine.” It s said that the Republicans of Indiana are hunting for a slogan for the next campaign. “Save us or we perish” would be quite appropriate and “Needs must when the devil drives’’ wouldn’t be so bad either. The number of prominent Indiana Republicans who feel it to be their patriotic duty not to run for

governor next year is unuetsally large, all of which goes to show that the average prominent Republican, whatever else he may be, is no fool. Those farmers who are neglecting their straw stacks will likely have reason to regret it before grass cornea again. With a Ebort hay and oats crop a scare ty ot feed may be expected, especially if the coming winter prove, to be a long, cold one. Jay Makeevur sports a new "Deere John" breaking plow, and the way and manner in which that man turns under rag weeds Is sure a wonder. Jay considers it just reasonably good exercise to plow six acres a day—down ,ln Cy Hoskin's grocery store. Poor old Jim Crow devours a pint or so of cut-worms each season and a bounty is offered for his head. A squirrel will destroy one to three bushels of conni a year and you are requested by an all-wise legislature to keep hands off of Mr. Squirrel until he has done all the devilment possible and then soine. As our German brother would say, "It is to laugh.*’ Chicken thieves got after Ernie Schanlaub’s chickens the other night. Ernie, who at the tie was tusslin’ with a large cream-colored nightmare, !o which a Gollat-llke pro-German was enthusiastically Angering his wind-pipe, got out of bed, took down old blact Bess and hafrded the night prowlers two charges of shot. The thieves left in a nervous, Impulsive inamner without getting any poultry. Daniel Schanlaub has set up the old cane mill and hired Uncle Jake Stutsman to operate it. With a flendlshness that a Prussian might envy, Daniel, we observe, has built the molasses pan directly beneath a spreading oak in which there is a hornet’s nest as big as a load of hay. No, Uncle Jake doesn’t know that the hornet’s nest is there. Dan hasn’t had the heart to tell him>. Continued next week. Thieves have visited David Helmut three times within the last month. During one of their visits a medicine peddler, who was stopping over night with Davy, had a brand-new automobile tire and a case or two of medicine taken. The third and last call resulted, we are told, in the thieves getting away with a dozen or imore nice, sugar-cured hams. Davy belongs to the Amish church and abhors war and all that, but we’ll bet our hogskin saddle that if he ever corners those thieves he will treat ’em rough, religion or no religion.
