Find Time To Keep Records Farmers of Noble county are taking advantage of the longer days to cateh up with their field work which has been so much delayed by the cool weather and the unusual amocunt of late spring rains. On many farms the drone of the tractor may still be heard in the field long afier the usual choring hour is past The preparadon of seed beds and the plantin of spring crops has“been much later this spring than usual and is con}flic'ting with the early summer work. This has resulted in a congestion of ‘work on many farms and makes an }exceptionally busy season for all Noble county farmers. “However' busy a farmer may be, it is the busy farmers who finds the time to keep his farm records up to datel” ftates County Agriculturall Agent M. A. Nye. “Thigs is one job that, if well done, will mean extra col lers tc the farm business and the thoughtful farmer will not neglect this important part of his year’s operations.” i In order to help local farmers keep their record books complete and up-to-date during the rush season Mr, Nye offers the following suggestions: 1. Keep a pencil and ihe record book in a convenient place where it will be seen each day. . 2. If you are inclined to get sleepy when you sit down after supper make a habit of entering transactions in the record book at moon while the horses are eating. 3. Enlist the services of the wife in placing the record book at your place on the table after you have been to town.

4. A son or daughter of high school age make excgllent substitute record keepers during busy seasons if dad will give then the items to erter in the record book. They are usually glad to do this work and when approached jin the proper way may show Dad up in the art of record keeping. This is also a very effective way to increas: the interest of the boy or girl in the farm bus!ness. 3 5. Expenses for such items as taxes repairs on tractors and plows, feeds seeds, and fertilizers and livestock expenses should be entered in the record book before they are forgotten. : 6. There is a plaze in the record book for items sufi as <crop sales sales of livestock and livestuck product, and work done off the farm. If these items are ent:ral as they oc~ cur the record will always be up to date and will he accirate and complete at the end of {de year. This will greatly increase its value both for reference and analytical purposes and thereby become a valuable tool for increasing the farm income.

“A great problem of our state effecting at least half of our population, 4s to aveld conflict, to sttle quar T€ls which can easily become bitter.” These werg the wordg of Governor Townsend in his first measage to the legislature in which he recommend ed the formation of a stats division of labor. The wisdom of his policy is being demnstrated. The work of Thomas Hutson, comissioner of labor, is one of peace. Under his supervision disputes between employers and employes are settled before they start More than 5,000 workers ig Indiana industries have thus far continued At work and obtained more just contions of Jabor and of wages. In each of these factories a strike would have affected the whole citizenship. It is a part of the administration policy of preserving peace. It is'a belief that the people can rule themselves and settle any problem, no maiter how grave, by commop sense and tolerance. It contains none of the spectacular incidents of great strikes, but it is just another evideace of democracy in action. It works.

Fifteen years ago a secret socisty with a large membership in Indiana placed qualifications for public office on race and relgion. Other abilities of candidales were disregarded. What happened to the mayor of Indianapolis and the Governor of Indiana, elected on this theory, illustrates the folly of such a policy. The layman's organization of a great church voted at its recent conference to support ;only candidates for of*ice who were idry. Now, without go'ng into the inoral issue involved, it must be ad'mltted that a candidate might be dry, }but woeluly deficient and lacking in qualifications to fulfill the office to ;which he aspires. It is perfectly all right to be devoted to a cause, but it 'lhould not be carried to the point of penalizing government. Dr. 8. 0. Goodrich, a Galveston, minister, ran for the nomination for Congressman in the Seconi district last spring as on the Townsend platform. Ip his campaign he solicited the services of the Rev, Oliver W, Bowman of Greentown. It seems that Dr. Goodrich agreed to pay the Rev. Mr. Bowman for his work. At least a llaw suit to.collect $88.67 in al leged past due salary has been filed by the Rev. Mr. Bowman against Dr. f ch in the Cass Circuit court at Logansport. A most uausual stituation, but it was made more so by Attorney O. C. Phillips of Kokomo who wrote the complaint in verse. Onme verse read. Plaintiff gays defendant had him travel, All the way from “Skillet Fork” to “Kankakee” That he worked {n every one of 13 counties, And got nothin’ but the voters’ “rasberrie.”

Raymond S, Spriager, Connersville twice G. O. P. hope for Governor and twice dofeated, is said to be making progress in hig aspiration to be Congressman from the Tenth district. He should be powerfui enough to obtain the nomination, and it he does, and the picturesque Finly H. Gray js renominated by the Democrats, Springer will find himself up agalnst something. Gray %andles his own campaigns and is a persistent door bell linger. It is %is personal method of calling on voters in their homes that has wop the votes necessary for election in a normally Republican dis trict Gray lets his hair grow long and wears a frock coat. His differ® ent look keeps him from heing easily forgotten. ‘

Indiana ranked fourth from the top of states in the number of votes cast in the 1936 presidential election. With 2,003,019 who are of voting age in Indiana, the state recorded 1,650,~ 897 votes last November or a proportion of 825 per cen:. West Virginia, with 92.1 per cent, showed the largest proportionate vore of any state. Caro'itra was the Towest at 141 peor cent. While it wasu't first, Indiana can well be proud of its standing. A large vote reveals » health condition. When people maintain an interest in politics, they are going to get good government. Publiz officfals take cognizant of an alert electorate. They know that they will be turned out if they don’t perform their dutieg satisfactorily. The Hoosiar gtate is kpown far and wide for its political activity. And likewise for its efficient state government. - " John Tlsenbarger (s postmaster at Worth Manchester, ITnd.

v Obligntio¥s of Yazpayers The question for taxpayers tc decide between now and the first of September is whether or not they want to have something to say about the expenditures of their tax money, pointg ou: L. L. Needler, farm bureau tax and legisiative director. “The law for many years has clearly contemplated that the taxpayer will take an interest in the affairs of his local government. It provides that those who have power to make levfes and establish rates must, before they perform this fanction notify the taxpayers by notice in a paper of gengral circulation with figures and cdetajled items that go to make up the bundget that makes necessary the levies and rates. Tus law further provides that at the end of the calendar year in casa of a townshp and at the end of each month in the case of & :ounty that the public should be infvimed as to. who reseived the tax mone; and that servic, was rendered to jus:ify the receip‘s.

INCREASE OF (CLAIMS SHOWN

Soclal Security Board Reports Clalmg i O-F'hl,t.’uodlll

i Claims for lump-sum payments are coing In at the rate of 50 a day In this region comprising Indiana Ilinols and Wisconsin, declared H. L. McCarthy, regional director of the social security board. ‘These payments, he explained, are awarded to ‘Persons in covered employments who imel the age of 66 or to the estates l“ eligible wage earmers who have died since January. The steady increase of claims has been antictpated and it is expected to rise with increasing rapidity, as the number of wage earners reaching 66 and the numbebr of wage earners who die inéreases. Other factors to explain the steady increase are the larger number of wage earners who obtalp account numbers and therefore becom, eligible for claims paynts, and the ncreasing number of claimants who become aware of the claims procedure. “On reaching 66 gvery wage earner is a covered occupation should apply to the social security board at any of itg field offices for a lump-sum payment equal to 3% per cent of his total wages since January” said Mr MecCarthy “Upon the death of an eligi ble wage earner his relatives or wko ever constitutes his estate shonld make a similar claim”

Opfrators Get Timely Polnlers.

‘When it comes (v harvesting smail grains such as wheat, oats and rye speed and good work are absoiutely ‘necessary, stats R. C. Shipman, Pur ‘due extemsion agricultural engineer. }Blndon must be at a high state cf efficiency to baudlg the cutting and !Mnding with few stops and few missed bundleg } Ofling or lubrication s*and first in ijmportance ia the operation of the grain binder, claims Shipmen. There is probably no other farm machine that requires more thorougn and reguar oiling. It is a good plan to have a regular oiling schedule. Fast moving parts such as packers and pitmans should be oiled at least once every hour and possibly oftener ia dusty conditions. Chains often cause trouble on a binder. For the best results, a chain should run just tight enoigh to keep it on the sprockets, says the Purdue extension man. A loose bull chain is very often the cause of a binder choking up. Canvasses often cause a lot of trouble for farmers, especially in heavy, tangled straw. It the straps are not buckled evenly or the rollers are out of lime, the canvasses will run crooked. To make a well formed bundle or sheaf, the butter should be adjusted to form the butt of the bundle evenly. The band should be placed at the midpoint of the bundle. The knotter head should be shifted in preference to the butter in placing the bundle. : The more common trouble bands can be traced, according to Shipman by following these suggestionsy Pirst if a missing band is found on the knotter bills, the tension on the twine is too tight. Second, it when the bundle is picked up the string glips apart with a simple knot in one end and the other end straight and cut square, the disk that holds the end of the twine while the bundie 1s being formed is too loose. Third, it the band appears as in two, excepting that the straight end is rough or broken, the disk is too tight.

Indiang BusineSs Above 1936

The Indiana Business Review reported thg voume of Indiana business transacted during the first five months of 1937 was more than 15 per cent above a year ago and less than 9 per cent under the record established during the corresponding period in 1929, The review said a few lines of business continued to improve during May, but that the general level of trade and industry was a little lower. “Steel shipments were in excess of mew business, but most mills - had enough unfilled orders to keep operating schedules at a high level for. several weeks,” the review pointed out. “Labor difficulties reduced steel output late in May, Coal mines were more active than during April, but total output remained far ugger normal. The number of new ears manufactured in Indiana was under a month ago, but above a year ago. ‘“Furniture production made a contira-seasonal gain and was well above a year ago. The employment situation was better during most of fauy. Electricity production was above ten per cent above the previons May record set a year ago.” increased purchasing power and delayed spring buying stimulated some
