Established for five years in this work exclusively, and with several improvements during the last two years, Mr. Watkins' business, while thoroughly efficient, does not sacrifice cleanliness to the pressure of work, but turns out a product which thoroughly satisfies its customers, in surroundings, and with equip ment which the workers would at no i time be ashamed to submit to the critical inspection of the housewives of the town. logs, and occasionally sheep and fli VPS M r- H PI 1' H H IH 1 urnihrhmfl t a .hnrp thl vMr of 75 centn a hundred for pork, which is the principal product.

In rendering lard and in making sausage, a similar method is used, with each man's meat handled separately from start to finish. As the lard is cut up and put into the kettles the owner's name is Vritten on a tag and slipped into a clip on the side of the lard press, one clip being provided for each of the two kettles. The lard, aft er being rendered, is pressed out, run ; ,nto cans and Bet asjde wkh the ta I - . t ; 1 Ior llle.wnm- sausaRe aihu is m.u lor eacn man separately . Equipment for the plant includes an j engine for driving the sausage grind-. er lard cutt-r and the pump with! which water is pumped into the over head tank. Water is piped Irom this : tank to the boiler as well as to the' killing platform and washing room where it is used liberally. Fills Defenite Need.

Good Roads Desirable "There are many directions for farmers and townsmen to take . in their teamwork together. Good roads are mutually desirable. Both sides have a common interest in promoting local industries. They make nearby markets for certain kinds of farm produce and serve as the basis of diversified farming. "Since it is chiefly over matters of trade that country and town are arrayed against each other, the question arises as to how they can compose their differences. The local merchant insists that fanners and other consumers should patronize' home indus tries and grow quite bitter over buying from mail order houses. The farmer,

Farm Business at Indianapolis No co-operative office has thus far been opened at Indianapolis. The representative of the state farm bureau at Indianapolis expressly asks that shippers consign live stock to such commission houses as they may favor, "In care of P. C. Ohler." Mr. Ohler will then have the opportunity to look after such shipments, note the condition of the arrivals, see that they are fed and properly cared for, etc. He receives a very tidy salary for his services, a large part of which, we are led to believe, is returned to the farm bureau in the form of a split commis sion, or rebate on the business so! handled.

ADVANCE REPORTS INDICATE INCREASES IN FARM MEMBERSHIP Final reports for membership campaigns in most of the townships, will be turned into the county office of the Wayne conty farm bureau by Saturday afternoon, and all will report progress to date. There are a few townships in

which it is expected additional members will still be secured, but in every case, enough have already signed up and paid their fees to provide a strong working organization for the next year. Washington, Jackson and Center townships expect to secure still others, but have secured large numbers in each township already and will proceed with the township programs of work with present organizations. Jefferson township has more than two-thirds of all its farmers, signed and paid-up members of the bureau, with a number more signed and not yet paid. Dalton township has improved somewhat over last year's enrollment. Perry, the first township to put on a campaign, improved by over 60 per cent from last year's figures and has a large majority of all its farmers as members. Adds to Role Clay township added materially to last year's figures, between 20 and 25 i per cent. Harrison township has nearly all land owners in the township, less than a dozen remaining outside the organization. Green township initiated its campaign only recently and reports are not yet available. Franklin township reported an addition to last year's enrollment, but exact figures are not yet available. A number of new members and practically every one of the old ones have joined, however.

Abingf.on township has not yet sent in its report, but it is known that a good nucleus will be ready for work this next year though the exact number of members has not been determined. A number of Abington farmers belong to the Boston or Center township associations, somewhat lessening the available number of eligible members. Boston township has what probably is a larger percentage of its farmers enrolled than any other township, with y a dozen not Slgned up" DIVORCED M'CORMICKS WILL DIVIDE HOUSES (By Associated Press) CHICAGO, Dec. 29. Mrs. Edith Rockefeller McCormick, who obtained a divorce from Harold F. McCormick yesterday in record time will retain the McCormick town house on Lake Shore drive in the heart of the Goldcoast. Mr. McCormick, who went to his Lake Forest estate when the two returned from Europe last September at the same time but on different ships, will retain that estate. This is the only decision reached so far on the division of tho financial holdings of the millionaire head of the International Harvester company, and the only daughter of John D. Rockefeller. Charles S. Cutting, counsel for Mrs. McCormick, said today that both were "so well provided financially that there is no need of bothering about a settlement." It requires more than a century for a cedar tree to grow large enough to yield a thirty-foot telephone pole. The eucalyptus tree will attain a larger growth in thirty years and its wood Is quite as durable. AUTOMOBILE OWNER! Shaler Lenses passed the highest in every state test. Better drive in and have a set installed today. McCONAHA GARAGE 413 Main Phone 1480 Just received fourth shipment of "Wabash Blues" at iVeisbrod's.
