Barn Is Destroyed

Fire destroyed a large barn at the Lyman Swick farm south of Burket early Monday morning with a loss of about $3,000 partially covered by insurance, Valuable machinery and a large amount of wheat was burned but live stock was saved. :

Culling The Loafer ! There has been so much said and written about culling during recent years that I fear that sometimes we get confused about the real meaning of this statement. The common impression seems to prevail that we should cull the birds twice a year.

Culling, to me, meags careful supervision of the flock’'36s days of the year and taking out of the flock birds that are unprofitable and undesirable. At this season of the year it is very easy to go in the hen house at night with a lantern or with a flash light and take out the hens that have stopped production, as indicated by the shriveled comb. These birds should be placed in coopes and the mnext morning examined in order to see that you ara not mistaken in regard to them. . This method of taking out the unprofitable hens at this time of the year will eliminate the excitement and the necessity of handling the entire flock during the day time, which often causes a noticeable decrease in production for a week or ten days after such practice is followed. At the present price of feed it will cost about 20 cents per month to feed -a hen. Whenever we allow a hen to remain in the flock that is not producing eggs we are losing this twenty cents. Hens that molt in June, July and August should be sold as it has been proven that these are unprofitable to keep over for the second year’s production. - ‘We often hear the expression that we should keep the late’ molters as they are heavy producers, and the next statement we hear is that we should get winter egg production. It must be borne in mind that we cannot expect high percentage winter production from our hens; therefore, we must give each year more attention to production of well developed pul“lets and depend on them for our _maximum winter egg production. eae ol by kup See Sereis

FIRES TAKING HEAVY TOLL : (Grass Fires %?mdd Flames to Strue- ~ tures In Various Parts of the | State During Past Week

Fires took considerable toll in rural and some urban districts of Indiana over the week-end, as winds swept sparks across dry grass and woodland in several localities.

Four buildings were consumed in the path of a grass fire at an abandoned serum - plant near Plainfield. Valuable timber was _}d»estroyed»in the blaze. Another grass fire in the same locality threatened the Charles Hayden home, but no serious damage regultad .

The basball park and bleachers of the Columbus high school athletic asgociation fell before another blaze, grass again being the fuel in which flames originated. The stadium will have to be vebuilt. Loss was estimated at $3,000.

Brief excitement prevailed at Sheri dan when a grass and timberland fire was driven toward the town by wind. Farmers cut off the approaching flames with plows, and only damage to bo suffered was destruction of grass and underbrush on 20 acres of land,

Four cel's were turned in within a fow hours to the Crawfordsville fire department, all because of grass fires on vacant lots and a dump.’

Governor Leslie issued "a warning Saturday to smokers to use utmost care in extinguishing cigarettes and cigars while in the open, to prevent flames. - Nearly all fires over the week-end were attributed to smokers. Fire in the stands of Washington baseball park, Indianapolis, damaged 11 roof boxes, about 100 chairs, a section of the grandstand roof and equip ment of one of the towers used in lighting the field for night games. Two fires were reported in New Albany, with losses estimated at $4,000. Damaged property included three two-story frame business houses and two residences. Origins were undetermined. .

DEMANDS TARIFF REVISION

Swanson Says Agriculture Will Be Further Depressed Unless Measure Is Revised At Once

The Democratic fire on the SmootHawley tariff law intensified today with a demand by Senator Swanson of Virginia that the six weeks old measure ‘be revised. . Wi

A statement by the Virginian issued through the Democratic national committee said American agriculture would be further depressed if the act remained in effect and warned of an ievex’_’ltual closing of the markets of 'the ‘world to this country, in protest against the high tariff wall. ‘ ‘“The best interests of the United States” he asserted “demand a revisjon of this vicious bill which is only beneficial to a very few special interests.” \ .

Since assurance was had that the Smoot-Hawley bill would become law, Swanson said 17 nations had increased their tariffs in retaliation.

“Italy” he said, “has imposed an almost prohibitory duty on automobiles from the United States which challenges all hope of extending our commerce in this -industry in that country. French tariff rates have been increased on oats, potatoes, wheat flour and various food products and also automobile—The European customs union a group of political and in ‘dustrial leaders from 13 continental states met in Paris on June 30 to discuss tariff solidarity. America is con‘fronted with the danger that the union of these 13 continental states will lenaet legislation that will prevent im'p,ortation of .our goods to these countries.

“The German minister of economy has announced that Germany would abandon its most favored nation treatment of the United States when the present commercial treaty expires in 1935.” .

Blue Popular As Auto Color

Blue probably will reign supreme as the most popular color for automobile bodies during the remainder of 1930, it is predicted by W. R. Milner body engineer for the Oakland Motor Car company. Black, he believes, will finish the year as second choice, with green and brown running a close contest for third place. Recent mid-year color changes in the Oakland Eight and Pontiac Six, Mr. Milner says, have been made in accordance with the color preference of automobile buyers.

Blue with black trim was chosen for the first half of the year on the oakland Coupe, Pontiac Two-Door and Pontiac Custom Sedan. Black with various contrasting trims has been selected for the Oakland Four-Door .and the Pontiac Roadster, Coupe and Sport Coupe. Brown and brown trim appears on the Oakland Custom Sedan and tite Pontiac Phaeton, while the Oakland Phaeton and Roadsteft carry tan with brown trim.

Accurate forecasts as to what colors will -bg most popular may be obtained Mr. Milner says, from the Automobile IColor Index published monthly by the Duco Color Advisory Service which ‘bases its “color ratings” wupon the inationéal demand for various colors of Duco.

- Agconing to the Automobile Color Index, ‘blue briefly surrendéred its position of leadership to brown during the latter half of last January and the entire month of February, but recovered its popularity in time to main--tain a comfortable margin over black which steadily advanced to threaten the supremacy of blue last April only to recede slightly in succeeding months, Grey which was in third place a year ago, has suffered a sharp drop in popularity.

This economy is the first to be made known by a government department since President Hoover’s recent call for a reduction of all expenditures in the government departments which will not lessen efficiency or cause unemployment. The crews of the three vessels will be distributed through the fleet which has practically no ships manned up to full strength. 5 ~ Treaty provisions require that either the Utah or the Florida be scrapped or sunk within 12 months of the effective date of the pact and the other within 18 months. The Wyoming may be retained for training purposes. The treaty's effective date will be

Chevrolet News

Another automotive record toppled at Flint, Mich., on Thursday when the {Chevrolet Motor Company turned out its two millionth six cylinder car less than twenty full months after the in‘troduction of his type. '

Just as Chevrolet led the world in four cylinder car production during the last two years that the company built that type, so now it assumes leadership in the six cylinder field by having built nearly five times as many sixes in twenty months as any other manufacturer in the history of the industry. .

"~ The two millionth six— a coach—rolled off the line at Flint with Chevrolet and General Motors executives in attendance to witness the final assembly of the car, for which no furher ceremonies were planned.. The brief time required by Chevrolet to build two niillion sixes provides an index of the rapid strides made by this organization .to the front rank of volume car builders. The company -was organized late in 1911, and there were required nearly seventeen years to turn out five million of the old four cylinder cars, while two million sixes have been placed on the streets and highways of the world since January 1, 1929 or in a total time of only# nineteen months and one week.

' Commenting on the manufacture of the two millionth six, W. S. Knudsen, President-and General Manager stated that the fact of establishing a new record was significant mainly in that it indicated a definite public preference for the performance and luxury which a six affords in the low priced field. “We abandoned our position as the world’s largest builder of four cylindercas,” Mr. Knudsen explained, “because the volume we had buiit up, jcoupled with the tremendous purchasing power of General Motors, enabled us to put two extra cylinders in our cars and yet retain the price }range and operation economy of the old four cylinder car. :

“Today the coach one of the most popular models in the line is priced twenty dollars lower than the "four cylinder coach was ever sold. The experiences of two mfllions of owners are that gas and other operating and upkeep expenses are as low as any stardard four cylinder coach was ever sold. The experiences of two milions of owners are that gas and other operating and upkeep expenses are as low as any standard four cylinder car. The quick public acceptance of this fact, and the gratifying response to the new type made possible our new production record.” : Total output of the Chevrolet Motor iCom;pany to date is approximately 7,200,000 cars. : :

PSP PSPPI PGP PGP ESPE PG PH PSP Is Real Recreation Ever = Wrong? ; : ~ “Bob, where are you off for tonight? This is a school night isn’t it?” “Yep, Dad, going to a little dance, but I'll ... be home early. All the g ] sang are going. I ,> A ¢ won’t be too late.” ‘’% “How late, son?” \ " ‘,.ﬁ;‘ffs ;é “Oh, I don’t know—- @;% P9B perhaps . eleven oOr A twelve.” R R “ }géfg o Went once before T this week?” Wy @ “TYep I did, Dad” i% 4 | (a bit impatiently). ; “And once last week?” (Al this in a quiet tone.) “Sure, why not,- a fellow has got to have some recreation when he’s working and going to school.” “All right, son, run along. I'll be waiting for you. I have a good deal of reading to do tonight.”

Bob looked at Dad a bit uncertainly and half reproachfully as he went out the door.

Mr. Smithhough . settled himself comfortably, but not to read as he had thought, but to think. The social pull had been pretty strong all the year. Bob, because of his friendly good humor was much sought after and was always in demand, and Mr, Smithhough was certain the boy was quite badly overdoing his recreations to his detriment,

It was just twelve-thirty when Bob stepped in noiselessly and was at once embarrassed to see his Dad still waiting for him, 8 “Why didn’t you go to bed, Dad? 'm sorry I'm a bit late.” “Waiting for you, son.” o . “Aren't angry with me are you, Pop. I got away as soon ac I could.” “Not angry at all, Bob. Not at all—only concerned. You see it wasn’t?more than a thousand years ago that I was a popular young sheik myself in high school, and I know perfectly what you are up against. This sociad pull is tremendous and all I'm anxious about is that you do not overdo it. Physical and nervous bankruptcy are very serious things and they overtake us before we realize it. I know you well enough to know that moderation is not one of your strong points and so.thought we’d better talk things over. Bob, two dances ’till twelve, school and job is too much for you or any other growing boy. It means that instead of your fun being recreation that it is a steady definite drain on capital of strength and nerves—not enough sleep, not enough relaxation, too much excitement and a general lowering of vitality and polse. “But, Dad, is real recreation ever wrong? -asked Bob, seating himself opposite his father. “I don’t mean to argue with you. I really wish to know.” “The whole matter hinges on an intelligent wunderstanding of just what true recreation is. I doubt if you have analyzed the thought carefully. There is a deal of difference between recreation, fun and amusement. Amusement in its popular sense is not a very worthy word. We Americans have - gone amusement crazy with the coming of electric lights and mechanical musie, : St

“Now, of course, we all need diversion from our regular routine in order to keep our balance and to keep from getting into a rut. Every man and boy, too, should have a constructive hobby that he pursues enthusiastically, but being certain that time and money so invested pays dividends in rested and re-invigorated bodies and minds—and Bob, what is recreation to one may be very far from it for another.

‘“True recreation re-creates, makes over, refreshes, revitalizes. Because there are many typeg and temperaments of . people there must be as many types of recreation and each man must be his own judge. If he is fair with himself and is really in dead earnest about making his life count and finally coming into a worthy accomplishment he will watch his recreations to see that they do not devitalize him physically, mentally or morally. : “It is the unquestioned right of vouth to be exuberant and happy. Such is the result of good health and a clear conscience, but happiness that abides is a by-product, son. Seek it deliberately and it vanishes. “Your main job just now is getting your training for what you are to do and be in the future. That should .be your consuming passion. Your ultimate success will depend upon a sturdy, well regulated health of body and mind and spirit. Redreation is only justifiable therefore as an assistant to what you desire to become—which means moderation.

“Perfectly all right to dance; to go to decent shows: to play ‘cards occasionally; to shoot a game of pool in

surroundings that are decent and respectable, but when everything else becomes subservient to your love of recreation and work so you can ‘get drunk’ it’s all bad. Gradually you have increased the pace. You're tired to death this minute. You are more irritable than you were. Take it from Dad, boy, slow down!” “Dad, you win. Thanks again. I see your point. What I need is a time table for my trains and to quit running so many ‘fun specials.’”’ _“Righto, my boy, now let’s go to hea” (e \ (©®, 1930, Western Newspaper Union.)

~ Meeting the Needs of Millions - of People

BECAUSE the automobileis such an important factor in the lives and prosperity of so many people, the purpose of the Ford Motor Company is something more than the mere manufacture of a motor car. ’ : :

There is no service in simply setting up & machine or a plant and letting it turn out goods. The service extends into every detail of the business — design, production, the wages paid and the selling price. All are a part of the plan. . 'The Ford Motor Company looks upon ftself as charged with making an automobile that will meet the needs of millions of people and to provide it dat a low price. That is its mission. That is its duty and its obligation to the public. The search for better ways of doing things is never-ending. There is ceaseless, untiring effort to find new methods and new machines that will save steps and time in manufacturing. The Ford plants are, in reality, a great mechanical university, dedicated to the advancement of industry. Many manufacturers come to ‘see and share the progress made. ;

ment in the methods of the day before. Hard work usually finds the way. Once it was thought impossible to cast gray iron by the endless chain method. All precedent was against it and every previous experiment had failed. But fair prices to the public demanded that wasteful methods be eliminated. Finally the way was found. : Ap)etter way of making axle shafts saved thirty-six million dollars in four years. A new method of cutting crankcases reduced the cost by $500,0600 a year. Tke perfection of a new machine saved a similar amount on such a little thing as _one bolt. Then electric welding was developed to méake many bolts unnecessary . and to increase structural strength. _ Just alittle while ago, an endless chain conveyor almost four miles long was instdkd at the Rouge plant. This conveyor ~has |a daily capacity of 300,000 parts weighing more than 2,000,000 pounds. By substituting the tireless, unvarying machine for tasks formerly done by hand, it has made the day’s work easier for thousands of workers and saved time and money in the manufacture of the car. fntqrest of the publias ihat e
