Visitors From Surrounding - Country and Ligonier Viewed the Exhibits " anfl Listened to the Lectures. \ 5 ! Running water in farm homes was the kevaote of the Indizgng Home Specinl train which was in Ligonier from seven to nliie o'clock Thursday evening. More than 3256 persons = visited the train which is teuring the state on the New York Central lines under the auspices of Purdue university, to inaugurate a campaign for running water in the country homes, “Nothing means more to the farm woman than running . water in tne homes,” said W.'Q. Fitch, of Purdue, who {8 in chdarge of the train. “Only by providing those conveniences and making actual farm living more at tractive can, we hope to Keep real farmers on the land and assurc the future food supply of the nation. Life in the country must be made so attractive that when a man who has spent most of his life on the farm desires to re tire, he can have a modern home right there and will not- have to move to town.,” - : :

Although running water in the farm homeé was featured throughout the train, lighting outfits and many labor gaving . devices were not lacking and the display was good. Septic tanks, which prb\'nlt} sanitary sewage disposal for the farm, attracted unusual interest especially from the farmers and the questions and - information sought from C. A. Norman, Purdue rural engineer, regarding them indicated that a large number will be constructed this year, The women showed unusual interest in the running water system and that they wanted modern kitchen and bath rooms in ‘their homes. e E

“A farmed doesn’'t think much of putting scveral hundred dollars in al binder which he uses a few days ou: of the year,” said Mrs. H. P, Moore, one of the university lecturers, “and he should think no more of putting . seweral hundred dollars into a running water system and other conveniences for his wife.”" : ] "The first coach entered by the train visitors showed an electrie power plant which lighted the car, operated an electric water system which punip--ed water to a milk room and well equipped bath room. It also provided power for an ¢lectric ironer, a wn_sh_er; a churn, separator, and other features. ‘All had individual motors controlled by a switch. The septic tank, actual size for the average farm home, was in one end of this car and attracted a great deal of attention. Its construction was explained by university speakers. : ' ‘Two individual water systems were shown in another car and another complete electric power plant was running. - Their workings were explained by attendants. The_third car was equipped somewhat like the firsty but in.tead of the milk room a modern kitchen was shown, with tables at the proper working heights, built in closets and features to lessen‘ the housewife’s: work. A feature of this was the dish drainer which does away with the labor of drying dishes three times a .day. A living room, equipped like any ‘city home and showing how it could be in the country added to the attrac- . tiveness of the car. - . - “The fourth car served as a lecture room, both men and women speakers talking on running water and sewarge - disposal systems and home conveni- - enccs. Better living conditions. for rural people was the general theme of ~_the whole train, and the hearty recep- . tion given it here indicated a wide public interest in it.hls problem.
