FARMERS

RESPOND

TO PURDUE CALL Large Number Heard Specialists Plead for Better Stock Feeding. .A large crowd of farmer from Wayne and neighboring counties attended the lecture and demonstration of the Purdue experimental department in the Commercial club rooms lat evening. Lectures are being given all through the state and yesterday was the most successful and satisfac tory day of the trip so far, according to the Purdue professors. Three selected cattle from the Purdue feed lots "were exhibited at the station. They were not shown on the corner of North Ninth and A street as originally announced. One animal Is a high class fancy .selected feeder, an other a medium feeder and another is a poor slim feeder. The purpose of the demonstration was to show the animal which Is the most valuable and profitable to feed. Feed Cattle Corn. Referring to the bumper corn crop, Dean Skinner last evening aid: "Cash these crops, both the grains and the roughages, through cattle. Twenty steers will In a six months feeding period, produce from eighty to one hundred and twenty tons of manure, which, If properly conserved, and applied to the land will increase the productivity of such land from $2.00 to $3.00 for every ton of manure applied. During seven years experience in cattle feeding at Purdue Experiment Station in which 565 head of steers have been fed experimentally at accurate data kept regarding cost of fattening at of profits, the actual cash profit 8 per steer has averaged $10.00. "The farms of the state are being depleted of their fertility under present methods of farming. 'Soil Mining' the type of farming In which crops are grown year after year, the grain and com sold on the farm,' and the hay, straw, and all marketable roughages also sold, and the greater part of the cor -stalks burned in order to get them out of the way, reduces the productivity to an unprofitable point. Six Million Hogs. "Better care of the brood sow and her litter offer one of the moat practical methods for Increasing the hog production of Indiana from the present number, 4,000,000 to 6,0000,000 hogs. Make the sow take more exercise and avoid losses from too close confinement. Give her a dry sanitary home and some good winter pasture, such as wheat bluegrass, or rye." Personnel of Party.

WHERE ARE THE HEW STREET CARS?

And Oh, You Telephone Increase! Notwithstanding, However, We Still Get the Prolonged Busy Buzz and Are Greeted with "Wrong Number."

BY ESTHER GRIFFIN WHITE. Where are the lovely new street cars we were promised on the first of October? To be sure these were but to be revamped public chaises cast into the discard by the great city of Indianapolis. Still anything is better than the little coops that careen and didder up and down Main street and around the celebrated belt. The street car company says it doesn't pay to Jack up the street-car system here. That it isn't patronized extensively enough. Maybe this is true and then again maybe it isn't. Nobody knows but the street-car company. And It won't tell. Be that as it may, the new cars were promised for this city on the first day of October and they aren't visible yet. To the disinterested . on-looker it would seem that the end might justify the means. That is, that the investment of a few sous In making the street-cars a valuable asset to the city might react to the enrichment of the company's coffers. ,' Perhaps more people would ride on the cars if they were more attractive and comfortable. Who can say? This may appear to be fallacious reasoning to the expert but to the "'man on the street" that's the way it looks. Anyway, fetch 'em on. They were promised. No one can deny that. Neither can any be found to affirm that they have been seen with the naked eye. Ho, then, for the new street cars. And while we are about it, what's the matter with the telephone system? The rates were raised and everybody, is handing out the increase. But is the service any better? Not bo you could notice it The writer has never taken much stock in that propaganda which has for its slogan "swat the corporations." It's reasonable to suppose that the personnel of the latter is made up of decent citizens who are banded together for legitimate purposes. That they aren't all highway robbers. Corporations are a necessary part of our modern business life and are beneficent institutions when' operated on a sane and fair basis. It is ridiculous to suppose that the telephone company in instance, deliberately tries to Inconvenience its patrons. Nobody, of course, thinks that. Still there are strange things that might be explained perhaps more to the latter's satisfaction than has heretofore "obtained." Why, in instance, was "trouble" instituted? . . . Was it not for the express purpose of a court of last, resort where we could take our various telephone woes and have our grievances passed upon? Timidly do we murmur into the ear of trouble. With what result? "Try it again. "Why we've been trying for an hour" "Well, try It again." , You try and try and try and then again call up your unsympathetic tribunal. ' " " w You hesitate, even cough deprecatingly. "You hate to disturb 'em but you can't get 3035 'They're busy." Of course you know. that , the busy buzz means busy but you can't believe they've been talking for an hour and a half. - . "They're busy." ' " , "Would you mind calling and seeing" - "They're busy." "Its important " , , "Well, they're busy." - " , "Would you mind " "They're busy" - Click goes something at the other end of the line, and you find, yourself talking ambiguously into the mouth piece. Then you damn , everything with "as much picturesqueness as your vocabulary may permit, get your hat and amble in to the neighbors. There is a great world of comfort to the eyes in a perfectly fitted pair of glasses. We use no drugs for examination of the eyes to fit glasses. " E. B. GROSVENOR, M. D.

"May I use your telephone?" "Well if you can get anybody we can't" You call up 3035. The owners and chief devisees of that interesting telephone reply and state that they haven't been able to use their 'phone all morning. That it had been out of whack and

that they hadn't talked over it since j the day before. That this is the first time they have been able to use it for over twentyfour hours. Bewildered you clasp your domelike forehead and ask yourself if, mayhap, you are wabbling in the region of the cerebellum. You put it down to the freaklshness of things in general and pass it up. Now no doubt patrons are exasperating, insulting and sometimes abu sive to those manipulating things at "central." On the other hand telephone rates are high and a telephone is usually taken on as an appendage of the average menage to expedite the routine of the household. When you want something over the telephone you want it in . less time than it takes to dress and walk ten blocks. - " - You don't want to spend more time than that would take in rachet-work-lngs and a sulphurous exchange of courtesies with the exalted beings at the other end of the line. No doubt, too, the "wrong number" nuisance is as frequently the fault of the person making the call as it is attributable to the defects of the system. People are careless and swing the wheel or whatever the affair is called without due care. On the other hand one is constantly called to the telephone by loud rings which either make no response at all or are from alien sources. "Information" too, oftener than not, tells you acidly that the number you ask for is in the book when you have only called central after a prolonged and fruitless search. The fact is no hew book has been issued for over a year and changes and additions necessarily occur. In truth the vagaries of the telephone system are many and weird. But the bills still roll in. If the public has to pay an increased rate it certainly wants an improved service and so far it isn't getting it. Temple Quartet, Murrette. - advertisement oct 1-2-3 THE NEXT STEP.

BROKEN ENGLISH. Trials of a Frenchman With One of Our Common Verbs. English is said to be the hardest language In the world to foreigners. This is a broad statement which might be hard to prove, but certainly It ie not the easiest in the world. A professor in an eastern college relates a French friend's trials -with our verb "break." He writes: "I begin to understand your language better, but your verba trouble me still. I saw my friend Mrs. S. just now. She says she intends to break down her school earlier than usual. Am I right there T "Break up her school,' she must hare said. "Oh, yes, I remember; break up school." "Why does she do that?" I asked. "Because her health Is broken Into." "Broken down." "Broken down? Ob. yes! And, indeed, since the fever has broken up In her town." "Broken out Will she leave her bouse alone?" "No. She is afraid it will be broken broken. How do I say that?" e "Broken into." "Certainly. It is what I meant to say." "Is her son to be married soon?" "No. That engagement Is brokenbroken." "Broken off." Los Angeles Times.

Ancient Thermopylae. In spite of the fact, which is well known, that the sea has receded since ancient times, the strategical position of the ancient pass of Thermopylae Is still immensely strong. The alternative route by Deleghl, which crosses the hills a mile and a half nortb of the springs by well engineered zigzags, is equally capable of defense and leads into a country of a most difficult character. Either pass might be held Indefinitely by 5,000 men. The const road is absolutely commanded from the heights, so that a comparatively small force would render It impassable, while the flat lowland lying near the sea is marshy and intersected by dikes.
