LIGONIER BANNER, LIGONIER, INDIANA.,
District Soy Meeting.
Representatives from several counties in north-western Indiana met | Thursday August 25 at the R. L. Thompson farm east of Topeka to study and learn mare about soy beans. W. A. Ostrander Secretary of the National Soy Bean Growers’ Association lead in the discussions. i Several different varieties of beans have' been tested by Mr. Thompson this \summer in co-operation with County Agent Widney. The results of the work were carefull ygone over. The unanimous opinion of those present was that the ollybrook carriesi off all honors fr use with corn to make silage while the Ito San variety is the best for hogging off purposes be-{ cause of its earlier maturity. | The Manchu variety promises ,_toi gain favor with some. It is between the Hollybrook and Ito San in time required for ripening. The Pin Pog, a new variety bred by the University attracted much interest from the growers. It is an early . maturing, short growing store that bears heavily It promises to combiine nicely with very early corn, If the growers generally approve the Pin Poo the University will get the plants growing on large enough scale to produce seed for distribution to growers. - The effect and value of innoculation was nicely demonstrated. : | This fact was emphasized by an ex‘hibit. brought by Harvey Hodge of Washington Township. He showed the results of an experiment on the value of innoculation and marl. Plot No. 1 was treated with marl and planted. : . ot The value of soys for hay, their value as a green manure crop and their value as a seed crop was discussed. All seemed agreed that the plant possessed emcouraging possibilities in any o fthese line. Soys are making good as a substitute for clover which has failed, it was pointed out. The seed is being used extensively for the oil it contains. ‘The cake left after the oil is extracted makes a bettet feed than the beans themselves. ’ The:soy beans deserve a place on every farm seemed evident from the experience of the growers convened. Its value as a feed and as a soil builder was testifeid to by all. The growing of beans has increased wonderfully in the county during the.last three years and they win the friendship of all farmers who learn their virtues. County Agent Widney declared. :

STRAKRGE KINSHIP OF WORDS
“Degree” and “Degrade” Had a Common Origin Centuries Ago, but ‘That Signifies Little. S
It is not edsy to understand how there should be any relations between the words “degree” and “degrade,” but such kinshinp doth appear if one but consider the facts, “Degree” has several phases of meaning. There is the degree of temperature, the degree of circular measutre, the degree of consanguinity and propinguity, the degree of excellence, the degree of master of arts, bachelor of arts, doctor of divinity and all degrees of degree. The word came out of the Latin, passed through the French and was introduced into England by the Nor-man-French and here we have it with us! It started from the word “gradus” which meant a step. “Grade” and “graduation” are kin-words. “Degradus” would be to step down, for “de,” “di” and “dis” are forms of a word- meaning “two” or “twice”. or “separate, from.” Thus to “degrade” Is to ‘“step down, or cause to step down.” - Now, “de” and *“gradus” were the parents of “degree” and “degrade.” At first, “degradation” meant a reduction from one grade or rank to another, and then .it came to mean the with: drawal of any rank in office or society. In some way we have come to think that a man of degree is a high-up sort of fellow, and that a degraded man is a low-down sort of chap. Though these words had a common origin many centuries ago, it signifies little. Avoid anything that tends. to degrade and struggle to be men and women of degree!—Kansas City Star.
RIGHT METHOD OF TRAINING
Youngster of .Bold Spirit Does Not . Need Curb So Much as Ingule cation of Courtesy. . . A bold spirit is invaluable, but an impertinent manner is an abomination in a child, says the Philadelphia Evening Bulletin. © And parents, urnconsciously, ‘are many times at fault, and actually inculcite boldness in their little ones, quoting their clever remarks while the childi'en are around, insisting that they “show off] some accomplishment. . i The-forward youngster is not apt to be brighter than the shy one, but he receivas the credit because, of his readiness to do and to talk. Perhaps nature’s recompense for less ability is the courage to exploit what one has. Sheer initiative alone—with, of course, sufficient ability to back it up—lis bound to msake a leader. i Do not too summatgily - curb the youngster with the hold spirit—rather train° him in courtesy angd in common sense and so teach him the valuelessness of foolhardiness. : ‘
Fadtory 6,000 Years Oid.
Ruins of a large aminunition faectory, in which - workers made stone axes for warfare 6,000 years age, have been dug up in Wales. . “The factory covered hundreds of acres,” reports S. Hazzledine Warren in a lecture before the Royal Anthropologjcal society, London. “We found a big scrap pile—stone axes finished but broken by a last blow.” . This is one of the earliest known instances of men banding together to work. What caused primitive men' to pool their labor? The same thing that causes wolves to run in packs-—war. War seems to be as firmly implanted in man today as it was 6,00 Q years ago. - Civilization lis savagery—plus intellect. Nor do the causes of wars change, It's a pretty sure gamble that most primitive wars were for possession of the best hunting ground. Trade wars, we call such things today.
Sausage Not for Nervous
“No doubt sausage and scrapplemakers put into their product parts or all of ductless glands from motives of economy,” writes Dr. R. L. Pitfleld of Germantown, Pa., in the Medical Record. “Some of these tissues are not destroyed by heat, notably pituitary extract, But even though they may be rendered inert by heat, sausage is often eaten raw or partly cooked. A lgrge dose of thyroid might thus be eaten by some one with hyper-. thyroidism iwith uncomfortable and deleterious results. The thyroid is sold as sweetbreads in many butcher shops. It seems wise, thereforé, to forbid such indiscriminate and heterogeneous products as sausage in nervous and endocrinopathic people. Such food may explain unaccountable Symptoms in them.”
The Unexpected.
“John,” said the man’s wife, frankly, “it is time for us to have an understanding about money matters. Now about my gowns and hats. I have entirely too much to wear; I can’t possibly wear them all, and——" v But with a mad shriek he had plunged headlong out the sixth-story window to the street. It was that much too much.—Richmond [l'imesDispatch. . g i
