BETTER FARMING

ORGANIZATION IS PERFECTED HERE i Harry Macey of Dalton Township Heads Association Formed at Meeting Friday; A large and representative body of Wayne County Agriculturists meet at the court house on Friday afternoon, for the purpose of organizing the Wayne County Better Farms Asso ciation. Many of those taking part were ex hlbltors and visitors at the corn show and all were directly interested in the alms and particular purposes for which the meeting was called. After the object of the meeting had been . briefly explained by County Agent Kline, the speaker Introduced Prof. O. W. Itosencrans, of Purdue, who discussed the need for such a county organization most Instructive ly. Prof. RoBencrans spoke from ex perience and cited the results obtain rd in several Indiana counties by the active work of Better Farms Associations. His talk was so impressive and convincing that when he finally read the proposed Constitution and By Laws the meeting was ready for the discussion and for prompt action. Objects of the Association. Section 1 The objects of this association shall be: (a) The organization of the forces of Wayne county that are Interested in the development of agriculture and country life that they may study the best methods of procedure and harmonize their efforts in bringing about the development of these interests. (b) To develop a community spirit srd en Interest in agriculture and country life. (c) To co-operate with the county agent in furthering the development of the agricultural resources. Various other Sections and By Laws formed a part of the plan of organiza--ttors but the section cited sufficiently explains the scope nnd character of tho new Association. It Is evidently Mlned to havo a broad and beneficent effect in this country, if it alms j rnd useful purposes are completely carried out. Officers Elected. After considerable interesting discussion nominations were in order and the following officers were elected: Harry Macey, of Dalton township, president; Arthur Curme, secretarytrensurer. Chas. HIce, of Franklin township, . . -: tii flrnt vice-president: Harry Caldwell, of Washington, second vice-president: Walter B. Fulghum, of Wayne, third vlce-prepldent; and Lewis E. Kiascy, of Clay, fourth vice-president. The officers elected constitute the executive committee and will meet at tho call of the president within two weeks for the purposo of completing the preliminary work and the setting of the machinery for action in complete working order. Walter B. Fulghum made the openlrg address at the meeting and was an active participant in the discussion later on. It was alleged that there wero practical forceB Inimical to the best interest of tho farmers at work in this countv. That from that Quar ter came the infoimation that Wayne J county is so self sufficient that the boi vices of the County Agent are superfluous and unnecessary. Varlons ypakera dwelt upon this theme and the result whs a resolution to the effect that the farmers of Wayne county would stand by County Agent Klir.e to the last man. Whn the organization Is completed t-ach tows ship will have its local chai'-man and the Better Farms Association will be equipped to handle all the questions of interest brought before it.

of fellow members and home folk. 'Above everything, I want to do what I can toward solving the problem of reassimilating the returned soldier, especially the casuals. The program of the federal government must have the support of the states and of individuals to make it kreally effective. These men must not be permitted to become discouraged. They must be fitted to resume their place in the world and the jobs must be found for them." Among the many things which Mrs. Lilly declares will have her attention are the measures which affect the welfare of women and children. She expects to introduce a bill prohibiting capital punishment for minors, another which will give to the judge of the children's court the power to appoint a guardian for children who are shown to have improper guardianship, and she will support any bills , which deal with minimum wage and equal pay for equal work. New York University has a novel women's law class, composed in large part of women of means who manage their own estates and other business interests. The attendance is about fifty. This class was unique when it wa first organized, and even now there are few others of its kind in existence. There are no compulsory entrance requirements for its students, no examinations and no final award of diplomas except by special arrangement. The women are merely there to learn legal details which will enable them to avoid being taken advantage of in business transactions. Adolph Joffe to Be Bolskeviki Delegate (By Associated Press) PARIS, Jan, 4. The Bolshevik government of Russia intends to send Adolph Joffee, the former Bolshevik ambassador at Berlin, as its delegate to Paris to claim admission to the peace conference, according to the Echo de Paris today.

Newest German Battleship Is to Be Surrendered (By Associated Press) LONDON, Jan. 4. Germany's newest battleship, the Baden, will be surrendered at a British port within a few days, in accordance with the terms of the armistice, according 10 announcement here. The Baden has a displacement of 28,000 tons. Owing to the fact that this ship was completed after the. war began, little is known as to its armament. It has been reported that ships of this class had been armed with 16.5 or 17 inch guns, but information on this point has been meagre and unreliable. REDUCTION OF Continued From Pafle One. - supplies a number of . cities surrounding Richmond. Accountant Boggs pointed out that the city is furnishing this company light and power at less than it cost the city to produce it and that most of the current is used at a time when the city's consumption is the largest and therefore it could not be considered that this consumer is using the surplus current. The Municipal Light Plant does not have any modern system of handling the coal which adds materially to the cost of the producing current and the city will also install a modern equipment for this purpose. The report of the engineers show that the plant will earn about $80,000 in 1918 or within $3,000 of what the plant earned in 1917 taking into consideration the increases in coal, labor and other items which make up the cost of operation. At the present time the cily of Richmond has tho reputation of the lowest electric light rates in the state. The accountant for the commission pointed out that the discount rates were also the highest known and that these discounts should be readjusted as soon as possible. On the present valuation of $600,000 the city Is earning 14 per cent which is almost double what the commission would permit a private company to earn, but if the value of the plant Is $1,000,000 the earnings would be about 9 per cent, which would still permit a reduction in present rates. The consumers who use current at a time when the city's consumption is the smallest are entitled to a low rate, according to the. engineers, but the power consumers who use the bulk of current at the time the city neds the current for light, should be charged a much higher rate. - This would penalize the consumer who forces the city to buy more equipment. Under tho present rates the small consumer is bearing the burden of the cost of the plant. Three separate and individual reports were made at the meeting last eight and all of the reports agreed on the recommendations which were adopted by the joint session. The reports were made by Chas. H. Hurl, of Indianapolis, the consulting engineer, appointed by the city, the commercial club committee and the acounting engineers of the Public Service Commission. . . The joint session recommended that Mr. Hurd or some other responsible consulting engineer be employed by the city to make a report on Just what equipment will be necessary to rehabilitate the plant and also to make a new schedule of rates'to be submitted to the state commission. It is estimated that the total expense of rebuilding the plant will be between $200,000 and ' $300,000, and that if the city cannot, at this time make the necessary appropriation for this equipment that the plans be de termined upon and then each year an appropriation be made toward the completion of the plan adopted. Workmen will be on the ground next Monday to start work on repairing the 1,000 K. W. generator, which has been out of commission for several months.

French Orphan Adopts ' Yank and Comes to U. S, . (By Associated Press) - NEW YORK, Jan. 4. In care of Capt. Peter B. Kyne, California author and soldier, Marcel, an orphan, came to America today on the troop transport Matsonia. This 10-year-old adventurer, whose last name was not known by the One Hundred and Fortyfourth Artillery, which adopted him, had attached himself - to a French regiment, after hlB mother had been deported to Germany and hla father had been killed In battle, and each time the poilus went over the top Marcel went along four times against' the Germans without being wounded. ' Then the American troops came along and Marcel met Capt Kyne, commanding Battery A, and went with the battery. The deserted poilus made representations to the Americans i to return Marcel to them, but Capti Kyne objected. Marcel enjoyed eating American chocolate and protested also. When the One Hundred and Fortyfourth embarked homeward Marcel stowed away inside a bass drum case, and revealed himself, three days out, only when hunger and thirst forced him out Capt Kyne said he would adopt the boy and take him to San Francisco.

ITALIANS IN Continued Prom Page One. constitute an adequate reply. "I had occasion at the parliament this afternoon to Epeak of the strong sympathy that had sprung up between the United States and Italy during the terrible years of the war, but perhaps here I can speak more intimately and say how sincerely the people of the United States had admired your own course and your own constant association with the armies of Italy, and the gracious and generous and serving association of her majesty the queen. Praises Italians In U. S. "It has been a matter of pride with us that bo many Italians, so many men of Italian origin were in our own armies and associated with .their brethren in Italy itself in the great enterprise of freedom. These are no small matters, and they complete that process of the welding together of the sympathies of nations which has been going on bo long between our peoples. "The Italians in the United States have excited a particular degree of admiration. They, I believe, are the : only people of a given nationality who have been careful to organize themselves to see that their compatriots coming to America were from month to month and year to year guided to places in industries most suitable to their previous habits. No other nationality has taken such pains as that and in serving their fellow countrymen they have served the United States, because these people have found places where they would be most useful and would most immediately earn their own living and add to the prosperity of the country itself. "In every way we have been happy in our association at home and abroad with the people of this great state. I was eaying playfully to Premier Orlando and Baron Sonnino this afternoon that In trying to put the people of the world under their proper sovereignties, we would not be willing to part with the Italians in the United States because we, too much value the contribution that they have made, not only to the industry of the United States, but to its thought and to many elements of its life. Honor Due Plain People. "This is, therefore, a very welcome occasion upon which to express a feeling that goes very deep. I was touched the other day to have an Italian, a very plain man, say to me that we had helped to feed Italy during the war, and it went, to my heart, because we had been able to do "bo little. It was necessary for us to use our tonnage so exclusively for the handling of troops and of the supplies that had to follow them from tho United States, that we could not do half as much as it was our desire to do to supply grain to this country, or coal, or any of the supplies which it so much needed during the progress of the war. "And knowing as we did in this Indirect way the needs of the country, you will not wonder that we were moved by its steadfastness. My heart goes out to the little, poor families all over this great kingdom who stood the brunt and the strain of the war and gave their men gladly to make other men free and other women and other children free. These are the people and many like them to whom after all we owe the glory of this great achievement, and I want to join with you, for I am sure of joining with you, in expressing not only my profound sympathy, but my very profound admiration as well. "It Is my privilege and honor to propose the health of his majesty the king and her majesty the queen, and long prosperity to Italy." Greeted by Dense Throng. Rome was astir early this morning. Seemingly, the entire population streamed toward the station, where President Wilson was to be welcomed by King Victor Emmanuel. The day being a national holiday, everyone was free to take part in greeting the American president. From the furthest corners of the city the crowds poured Into the main thoroughfares and thronged the streets over which Mr. Wilson was to drive on his way to the Qulrinal. Hours before the arrival of the presidential train, crowds packed the Via

Natlonale, which was lined with double rows of soldiers. , At ten. o'clock the expectation of the throngs was intense. Flags were everywhere fluttering In the breeie, every window and balcony was filled with eager watchers, and the roofs were black with people. ' Even in the trees and high on lamp poets there were men and women clinging to vantage points from which they might see the procession. The royal car rlage on Its way to the station was loudly cheered. Shout "Viva America." , At 10:30 there came the first distant shouts of "Viva America," which was taken up by the crowd along the thronged streets. Like a wave the crowds rose on tiptoe to catch a first glimpse of the president An engine whistle was heard in the distance and loud shouts broke forth, rising into a deafening roar as ' the presidential train rolled into the station. . Inside the station were the king and queen and all the members of the cabinet, headed by Premier Orlando and Foreign Minister Sonnino, wearers of the collars of the Order of Annunzla, ranking as cousins of the king, members of the diplomatic corps, presidents of the senate and chamber of deputies, members of parliament and military and ' naval authorities. Among those at the station was Senator Greppi, who recently celebrated his 100th birthday.
