ANOTHER FEATHER It! THE BONNET OF : LOCAL Y. M. B.C.

Centerville People Were Greatly Pleased With the Large Delegation Sent by Hustling Club. COURT HOUSE TROUBLE ENTIRELY FORGOTTEN Very Interesting Addresses Were Delivered Yesterday By Lecturers at the Great Corn School. (Staff Correspondent Centervllle, Ind., Feb. 4. Did the fYoung Men's. Business club of Richmond add another feather to its hat yesterday by attending the afternoon sessions of the Sixth District Farmers Short Course, of which it Is the foster lather? Centervilllana will answer "yes" and even a louder affirmative answer will be heard from the Purdue professors and the committee in charge of the work. Even the women were pleased with the attendance of the one hundred representatives of Ttichmond at the domestic science department, held at the Christian church, when it was announced that nearly all of the visitors were bachelors. Richmond Men Wondered. That court house story and the fight between Richmond and Centervllle for the county seat, in which Richmond was victorious, after a valiant fight by the losers, was recalled ty the Richmond delegation and it was whispered in the ranks, "is it true that these people entertaining us are the same as those who loaded old Aunt Betsy and were going to shoot the Richmondites when they came after the records? It is true that John Harvey, our escort, was one of the Centervllle 'home guards?' " The Young Men's club arrived in the city at 1:30 on a special car 75 or 80 strong. On the regular car proceeding this one, a large delegation also arrived. Among those arriving on the first car was a large representation of Richmond women who attended the domestic science course at the Christian church. Badges Given Out. Immediately on the club's arrival radges were passed among those who had not already been so checked and the line of march was formed in front of the town hall. The badges worn by the club members were a yellow silk ribbon and very similar to those used at the time of the fall festival. It contained the inscription in black, "Young Men's Business Club, Richmond, Indiana." After marching to the headquarters of the school in the News-Record office and registering, the club again formed in line of march and, led by "Hon." John Harvey, marched to the town hall and visited , Prof. Christie and his class, who were judging and scoring corn. A picture was taken of those assembled, each' holding an ear of "king corn." Following a call of "speech, Freeman" Perry J. Freeman of Richmond, made a short talk, stating that he was glad "we were here." In a joking manner he asked, "Now that we have found the corn school, where is the corn juice?" After watching the class at work, the club then marched to the livestock pavilion where Prof. Cochel was lecturing and demonstrating the points of breeding hogs. Forming around a large red, but docile sow, the club was greeted by the students and Prof. Cochel made a few remarks expressing -gratitude that the club, which had made the school a success, . felt interested enough to pay it a visit. Club Was Embarrassed. In a somewhat embarrassed state of mind, the club disturbed the women attending the domestic science lecture on "what constitutes good bread." by Mrs. Virginia C. Meredith of Cambridge ' City. Mrs. Meredith further threw the visitors into confusion by paying, "we wish you could have been here earlier to hear all the good and practical suggestions which have been made, in order that you could carry them home to your wives." It was announced a few minutes later that about all the visitors were bachelors. The club members then dispersed and visited the different attractions in which they were most Interested. Results Apparent. The results of the visit of the club were most apparent, judging from the remarks made by the local people who welcomed them here. The members themselves are much pleased with the success of their little excursion. There were a few among the visitors who stayed to attend, the evening services, but the majority returned home on the special car at 4:30. Previous to the address of Prof. Christie on corn culture, at the M. E. church in the afternoon, Walter Commons, who presided, announced that the Lincoln centennial celebration would be held at Richmond at the .: coliseum, Feb. 11. The hall was crowded to its utmost, a result from, the increased attendance of farmers and al Only On "SROMO QUIMNX." that te Lssstfve flromo Quinine

so from a large number of the Y. M. B. C. of Richmond attending. Christies Lecture. Prof. Christie in his introduction announced that the agricultural of 'the state could not be carried on by one man. He admitted the large size of the question and questioned whether one knew enough to talk intelligently on soil conditions. The address of Prof. Conner, given yesterday morning was referred to. Prof. Conner spoke on the fertility of soil, discussing the means of keeping up the fertility. He said phosphorous, potassium and nitrogen were elements which have to be replaced by fertilization. N Prof. Christie referred to legumes as crops to replace one of the most valuable elements, nitrogen. Nitrogen is one of the most valuable but scarce elements in the soil which is liberated freely. Charts Were Used. Charts were used by tlie lecturer showing difference of continuous croping of land with corn and with a rotation of crops. This comparison showed that yield each year under most favorable conditions, became less when land was continuously croped. Experiments have proven the advisability of crop rotation as a means of keeping up soil fertility. The Future Will Tell. "The bacteriologist will in the future answer many of your questions as to what your land needs," declared Prof. Christie. His reference to the advisability of draining, when ground should be broken, etc., was published in yesterday's issue. Lectures on Carcass. No more interesting or instructive lecture has been given during the course of the school than that on the carcass by Prof. Cochel at the conclu sion of the other lectures. It was an address from which every one could learn something and therefore the domestic science students were invited to be present. With the 200 women from this department and the 100 men, the pavilion was crowded to its utmost capacity. As many were turned away disappointed as were able to hear the lecture and witness the practical demonstration. This demonstration was an addition made to the program to make the work more popular and it proved to be so, far beyond the instructor's fondest hopes. It was given on Richmond day in order that the visitors might have the opportunity to witness the work. Had Disadvantages. It no doubt had its disadvantages, however. It taught those in attendance what cuts of the beef were most desirable. It was also pointed out that in order to obtain these choice cuts the butcher would have to pay a higher price for his butcher cattle and therefore the market value would be

higher. On an improvised block was placed a thoroughly fat and prime conditioned steer and along side it was another steer, not in such good condition, but of the kind which is usually handled in butcher shops. In order that the work might be further illustrated, a bromide of "Fyvie Knight," the Pur due university steer which won first place in the International Livestock show at Chicago last December, was shown. It was plated off showing the location of all the choice and various cuts. As Prof. Cochel lectured he directed the work of J. D. Nixon, the local butcher, who did the carving. Were Surprised. The two carcasses were cut up at the same time. Considerable surprise was expressed at the difference in cuts shown from the thoroughly ripened steer and then compared with one from a prime but short fed steer, such as usually goes on the market. Prof. - Cochel discussed the factors which produce the tenderness and flavor of beef. He said the tenderness is due to the age and the ripeness of the beef and also to the manner in which it is fattened. The flavor is due to the increased age of the beef; the presence of bone and to the amount of exercise which the muscles, from which the cut is taken, have had. Prime beef, such as was shown is a bright red color and has the fat thoroughly distributed throughout. It is well mixed with the lean as was also demonstrated from the cuts taken from the fat steer's carcass. The fat should also be perfectly wiiite, stated Prof. Cochel. As to Beefstakes. In the purchasing of beefstakes, Prof. Cochel declared that it was nec essary, in. order to get it of good quality, that the purchaser insist upon it being thick and thoroughly ripe. A thin piece is deficient in both tenderness and flavor. He declared the reason for the general complaint of ordinary beefstake, was that the coasumer is not willing to pay the additional price made necessary by fattening the animal until it is in the best condition. "Because there is no demand for the very best beef the butcher is justified in buying a lower grade, he said. DOMESTIC SCIENCE. Mrs. Virginia Meredith Talks on Bread. Because of a delay in the arrival of the fireless cooker, the practical domestic science demonstration at the Christian church was not completed. Three dishes were placed in the cooker and will be served this afternoon. These dishes include chicken, rolled oats and dried peaches. Mrs. Samuel Dickinson of Richmond exhibited a cake baktd in a fireless cooker which appeared to be the perfection of the culinary art. Mrs. Virginia Meredith of Cambridge City gave an interesting lecture on bread, also the history of bread baking. The room was filled with women, a large number of whom were from Richmond. Mrs. Meredith declared that people made a mistake when they wrapped, their bread in cloths after it had been

baked. It should not be wrapped in anything according to her. She advised tlie U3e of a tin flour box with a. sifter In it. No potatoes were advised but instead a receipt' for milk sponge given.

EVENING SESSION. Professor Christie Makes Interesting Address. In the evening at the M. E. church, Prof. Christie spoke on the benefits to be derived from the organization of a boy's club. No effort has been made yet by the corn school promoters to form such an organization but O. E. Fulghum stated last evening that this would be done soon. That the young people are taking much interest in the work i? attested by the number enrolled. Those who attend the corn school Instead. of their regular classes will be given full credits according to a ruling of county superintendent Charles Jordan. THE THEATER THEATRICAL CALENDAR. GENNETT. Feb. 8 "The Witching Hour." Feb. 9. "Mary's Lamb." Feb. 13. "The Man From Home." NEW PHILL'PS. All Week High Class Vaudeville. "Mary's Lamb." "A Lemon in the Garden of Love," the famous ditty from "The Spring Chicken," will be sung in the last act of "Mary's Lamb" when Richard Carle presents the latter musical comedy at the Gennett on Tuesday, Feb. 9. This song is the most popular of ell those Mr. Carle has written, and it is sung in "Mary's Lamb" in response to public request. "The Witching Hour." No play presented in recent years has achieved such instant and enthusiastic approval as has Mr. Augustus Thomas' latest success, "The Witching Hour." Higher praise has never been bestowed with such rare unanimity, as the combined critics of New York and Chicago leveled at thio drama, with its message of thought as a dynamic force, its forceful charac terization, and its amusing types. When we take into consideration that this same author has given us "Alabama," "In Mizzouri," "Arizona" and "The Other Girl," it must mean that in his latest effort Mr. Thomas has written a play that will endure. "The Witching Hour" will be seen at the Gennett theatre on Saturday, February sixth, matinee and night. The Iliad of Indiana. Gilead never had balm such as Goshen, Nor had Egypt corn like that of Vincennes, Peru and Chili lie over no ocean One flag both Delhi and Warsaw defends. Germany claims neither Frankfort nor Linden; The French in Lafayette's only in name; But of all the cities in fair Indiana, Kokomo is first on her roll call of fame. Kokomo It Kokomo! Wherein lies thy spell? Banners, blazoned with rays of thy glory. Poets, painters, artists, all striving to tellTo give to the world thy wondrous story, A story srupassing all legends of old. Its scenes laid in Italy, though not in Rome The best America has yet Europe told. The all-conquering triumph "The Man From Home." The New Phillips. With low, gurgling growls and stealthily paces -wild animals with a very thin coat of fear inspired civilization (or is domestication the word?) lurked back and forth behind the iron bars which kept them from hurdling into the audience at. the New Phillips this afternoon. Spessardy opened his act with his trained forest people and met with the interested approval of a large gathering of children and adults. The act is one that is exciting to say the least and at the same time of an educational value. Cochran and Dixon set the audience off into spasm after convulsion of laughter at their witty and appropriate stage talk. This team is one of the best doing black face work on the circuit. Cecil Jefferson's singing of southern melodies took extremely well and he was called on the respond to several encores. Frank Brown, who attends Purdue University, is home for the spring vacation. JAMES REID HAS BEEN SELECTED Indianapolis Man Is Haworth's Deputy. James V. Reid of Indianapolis has been selected as deputy trustee by James Howarth, trustee. Mr. Reid is a brother-in-law of the trtistee and a former assessor of Wayne township. Mr. Howarth. is being assisted in the office also by Mrs. Fern ossler, a niece. Reid will be remembered well by the voters of Wayne township although he has been out of the county for a number of years. The fact that the trustee went outside of the county to select his weputy will become a matter Of C9ininBnt -
