HAPPENING IN OUR NEIGHBORING VILLAGES

JACKSON *TP-, NEWTON COUNTY Nice weather for bass fishing and everything. Farmers who planted early are beginning to talk about husking corn. 11l fai;es the lani, to hastening ills a prey, when lawyers make our laws and the farmer stands for it like a common ordinary nut. The old garden is just naturally doing its derndest to grow a second crop this year, and if the dear old summer time continues much longer it will about make it, too. Daniel Schanlaub recently received a shipment of goats from Missouri. The old sire of tlhe flock reminus us of someone we know, but we’ll be hanged if we can recall who it is just now. Some of the, most prominent farmers of this township are talking farmers’ grain elevator. Their plan, if we are correctly informed, is to buy the elevator at Mt. Ayr, provided, of course, it is for sale. Contrary to expectations, grass has made a big growth in the last three weeks. Unless cold weather sets in unusually early there will be grass all through October and perhaps up to the middle of November. Senator Reed, we observe, is threatening to leave the Democratic party. Alright, dear senator, the Democratic party doubtless is more than willing. Just grab your coattails and throw in the clutch any old time. Come to think of it, now, the

most good-for-nothing man we ever knew could spell every word In the old McGgffy spelling book, besides being able to perform other difficult stunts that never netted him a cent. Park Baldwin, formerly of this township, but of late years a resident of Morocco, who has been in a hospital at Chicago for the last two jnonfhs, has so far recovered that he will probably be able to come home the latter part of this week. Emma Goldman, recently out of prison, alnnouiices that she is a bolshevist. But why make a public annodneement of the fact. In the absence of anything more foolish or harmful, it naturally goes without the saying that Emma would be a bolshevist. Some of our good Audish citizens are preparing -to leave Jackson towtaship, we are sorry to note. Benjamin Miller, one of our oldest Amish residents, and his nephew, Davy Miller, will move to the eastern part of the state soon, where they have bought farms. Others of this church will, we are told, seek homes where land Is cheaper. That once despised marsh land in northern Newton county is selling now at $ 125 to $175 an acre, with every prospect of prices climbing much higher. The man who, a few years ago, spoke jeeringiy of the Beaver lake country and stood idly by .when land in that region was going begging' for buyers, at $6 to sls an acre, is now holding down a store box and pre-

dieting a big drop in Indiana real estate prices. Miss Mary Jane Phillips, who had been attending school in Rensselaer, had to discontinue her studies last week on account of a bad sore throat. At present she is at the home of her grandmother, Mrs. Jane Makedver, and on Tuesday of this week was reported some better. Since her aunt, Mrs. Vamce Collins, has moved from Rensselaer, Miss Phillips has concluded to attend school in Mt. Ayr, making her home with her grandmother while the roads are good and the weather not too cold for travel with horse and buggy. We see by The Democrat that Honest Abe, the carrier, has bought two horses to use in the mail service this winter. Does this mean that "George” is to go to the scrap pile, "George” the tried and never found wanting? We refuse to believe it. Let’s see, how does that school-book poetry go—“No, children, he shall not be sold, go lead him ’ home and dry your tears. ’Tls true, he’s blind and lame and old, but he has served us twenty years,” etc. Aside from the fact that “George” isn’t blind nor lame nor old, the above fits his case exactly. A walk through the principal streets of Morocco last Sunday revealed to us that that town has made rapid advancement in the last 10 years, in spite of the fact that we left It to Its fate along about 1910 and sought the seclusion of the farm. The streets of Morocco are as good probably as could be found in any town of its size in western Indiana, the town has five churches, a fine school building, a beautiful park—in short, It has about everything one naturally would expect to find in a strictly up-to-date Indiana town. We were there but a short time last Sunday, but during our brief stay we were given four large cigars and were called "Colonel” three times and "Cap.” once.

Here is something which our illustrious Bill Wood, in his criticisms of the administration, evidently overlooked: "Sam,” asked one darky of another, "would yo’ go to wah es dat man Wilson tell yo’ to?” "No, sah,” was the answer. "I doesn’t bl’ebe in wah and I wouldn’t go, not one endurin’ step.” “Yas yo’ would, Sam, es Wilson tell yo’ to. Dat am a powahful bad man. 'He tuk all dem Germans and killed dem stone daid —axfixumated dem wlf some kind er gas. Den he tuk all ob Urop and give it to France, den he tuk all de railroads and give um to his son-in-law, and den he tu’n roupd and steal a houah ob daylight f’om de Lo’d. Now, yo» say yo’ won’t go to wah es dat man tell yo’ to? Sam, yo’ . talk des lak yo’ was bo’n yistaday. ’ And while we are fixing things would it not be a good idea to fix the English language so that a common pork and bean-eattog citizen could understand it without explanatory attachments. Now, here is a book of poetry. We pick it up and read: “Ye vigorous swains, while youth ferments your blood, wind the shrill horn.” Theh we began to wonder what khe unfortunate critter who wrote the above lines meant by the word "wind.” Did he rnegn wind, as to wind a clock, or did he mean wind, as a gale or a cyclone? Feeling assured that our old and cherished friend, Noah Zebedee Webster, would never think of shuffling off the morta what’s-its-name without first throwing some light on this subject, we turned to a copy of his valuable work and again) read: "Wind, to blow. Wind, to follow by the scent. Wind, to sound by blowing on a horn. Wind, to entwist, to encircle. Wind, the act of winding.” Now we know Just what the poet was driving at, but we are not going to tell. Dad, where is that wonderful land, which, them land agents say is so rich and grand —where they harvest nine crops of alfalfa a year and wheat yields around 60 bushels per? Where Hereford steers grow a half day’s journey around, where garden truck springs volunteer from the ground? Hadn’t we better sell out while the selling's good and round up some dirt in that neighborhood ? Son, fer foty years I’ve hear’n tell of that thar land that yields so well, but, take it from me,' nix on that stuff, ol Indiana’s good enuff. We’ve lived right here, your mother and me, since airly spring o’ '63, and while we ain’t overly rich ner great. mer grand, we’ve done as well I ’low as we’d a done in any land. Ive seen a power o’ country, boy, at home and in fer’in climes, but nothin’ quite so good as these here parts, down here whar the pawpaw grows and the dear ol’ Wabash winds. Sood I’ll be leavin you, my son, to j’ine that silent band, then maybe on far-away Canaan’s shore I’ll find a better land.

FAIR OAKS

Boys’ Corn Club Premuims to Be Awarded. The work of checking up the yields of the Boys’ corn club members will begin the week of October 20th, according to J. M. Sauser, chairman of the county club committee. Representative parts of the boys’ corn fields will be measured and weighed by some representative of the committee and premiums based on yield, quality of the corn, story of method of growing and others points. Members of the club should make provision to secure wagons and teams to husk their fields notify Mr. Sauser or the county agent before October 20th df they expect to compete. The work of checking the yields of the Potato club will be carried on through the public school organization. On account of the practical failure of the potato crop in many parts of the county, no plots will be checked unless requested by the members. . Any member wishing to compete for premiums should notify County Superintendent Morgan L. Sterrett at once. The premiums in the Canning, Breadmaking and Poultry clubs will be awarded at the poultry show in January. New Bulletins of Interest. The Purdue experiment station has just issued two new bulletins of especial interest to Jasper county farmers. "Commercial Fertilizers for Indiana” gives definite recommendations for fertilizers to be used on the various types of Indiana soils and should be in the hands of every farmer and land owner. “Wintering Bees” is of especial interest to the members of the local Bee Keepers’ association, according to Trank Foltz, president of the organization. The Bulletin discusses both outdoor and cellar wintering. These circulars, as well as others of earlier issue, can. be secured from the county agent’s office. Poultry Association Holds Meeting. An important meeting of the Jasper County Poultry association was held at the court house last \week. President Jesse Snyder presided and Max Kepner was elected secretary of the organization. All the essential committees were appointed for the next annual show which will be held the first week of January. According to the report, the association is in the best of condition and every effort is being made to develop the coming show into the best in the history of the county. A new judge has been secured, who has had experience at all the big shows of the country. The management has spared no expense in this matter as it feels that a competent judge is the most important point in the making of a good show, as this gives the breeders and the show visitors an opportunity to secure authoritative information as to the correct standards of perfection in all the various classes. Breeders of fancy poultry are invited to begin to condition their best animals for this event. The corn show, as usual, will be an important feature of this event. Premiums will W awarded by townships and corn growers are requested to begin to pick their exhibits now in—order that they may make selection before the corn is cribbed. Next Week Is the Big Stock Show. "Give us good weather and we will have one of the best stock shows ever held in this part of the state,” is Secretary Van Hook’s summary of the work that his committee has done in developing this vital factor in the county’s livestock improvement which will be held in Rensselaer October 16th, 17th and 18th. . . , \ K Mr. Van Hook is being kept busy recording entries from ail over this county, as well as a number from Newton and Pulaski counties.

are more breeders of pure bred livestock in our territory than jn any other locality in which I am acquainted,” says Mr. Van Hook, “and the holding of the annual show is in a large measure responsible for this. We are holding this show for the purpose es creating an interest in good livestock of all kinds and to give the public an opportunity to see the advancement that has been made by our breeders. We will adhere to our policy of a clean, strictly educational show without any admission charges or catch pennies and we cordially invite the public to pay the exhibition a visit.” Fire-Acre Corn Club to Bo Finished This Month. The Five-Acre Corn club yields will be checked up by representatives of the Indiana Corn Growers association the latter part of this month and the first part of November, according to word received by W. H. Pullin, chairman of the county crops committee. Last spring a dozen or more farmers of the county entered into a friendly competition to see who could raise the, largest amount of corn on five acres of ground in this county. Although dry weather has hurt the yields, Mr. Pullin expects some good results when the contest is finished.

The area of the Great Lakes is: Superior, 32,000 square miles; Michigan, 22,300; Huron, 23,000; Erie, 10,000, and Ontario, 7,200 square miles.

Toupalik, 1488 Rose street, LaCrosse, Wisconsin, is chiefly remarkable on account of the length of time he was afflicted. ' . He writes: “I have been suffering with chronic bronchitis for twenty-six years and every winter I would catch cold and become so hoarse I could not speak for six or eight weeks. I could get only temporary relief. “This winter I was taken with Grip and was in awful shape. A fellow workman advised me to take PE-RU-NA. By the time I had used three-fourtns of a bottle, the hoarseness was gone, also that tired feeling. I a™ on my second bottle. Hereafter PE-RU-NA will be constantly in my house. It is the best medicine ever put up for the purpose." z For any disease due 'to catarrn or catarrhal conditions, PE-RU-NA is equally dependable. Coughs, colds, catarrh of the head, stomach, trouble, constipation, rheumatism, Eains in the back, side and loins, loating, belching gas, indigestion, catarrh of the large and small intestines, are some of the troubles for which PE-RU-NA is especially recommended. , _ PE-RU-NA can be purchased anywhere in either tablet or liquid form.
