COUNTY LIVESTOCK SHIPPING ASSOCIATION
RECEIVES APPROVAL
Called by Death
Following a meeting of representative farmers from all parts of the county, held in the courthouse Tuesday night, at which approval ' of a county live stock shipping association was voiced, a committee of three was appointed to perfect and present a detailed plan to the county farm bureau. Following on the accounts of the success of local or community co-operative shipping associations, a decided sentiment in favor of a county wide
association was expressed, and Harry Caldwell of Milton. Arvel Dailey of
Centerville, shipper in and official of
the Centerville association, and Wal
ter Strong of Fountain City, another co-operative association official, were
appointed as a committee to complete
plans for the county unit.
It was pointed out that all pro-rating
of car load receipts can be done in a central 9(1106 more satisfactory and cheaply than at the local offices, and that with a county organization small lots of calves, sheep or odd lots of unusual grades of hogs can be gathered into full carloads, instead of being sandwiched into mixed cars. Benefit of Organization "With such an organization," said Arvel Dailey, "it would be possible to eend out carloads practically every day in the week, and we could ship any time we got ready." All speakers from communities that have been shipping co-operatively agreed that the only disadvantage of this plan is in the difficulty of completing full carloads when stock becomes scarce. This problem would be solved by establishment of a county unit. It was suggested also by Ed Deiterneyer that eastern buyers might stop
itn Wayne instead of going on to Indiyf impolis, if they were a central office which they might come to place 'orders. Wells county, the home of W. H, Settle, organizer of the Indianapolis cooperative firm, has enjoyed the advantages of a county unit for several Tears, and gives credit to it for a 30 per cent increase in membership of the farm bureau last year. It is no longer necessary to put on farm bureau "membership drives" in that county. Satisfaction Indicated Statements by Ben Gaiser of Centerville, and Ben Wright of Fountain City, managers of the two co-operative shipping associations already established, indicated general satisfaction with op
erations of the associations, and Increasing popularity wth farmers n their localities. The only dissatisfaction engendered was due to disappointment, when it was impossible to get enough together to make a carload at times, thus preventing small feeders from shipping. The Centerville association has Just installed a new stock yard west of the town, reported their manager. The plant, including scales and scale shed with shade over two pens, probably will cost $600, the money for which is advanced by local shippers. An extra charge of two cents a hundred will be made until this Is repaid, after which the yards will be owned by the association. Scale Is Installed The Fountain City association also has installed a scale and built a scale shed and storage house at a cost of $350. Their manager reported that the association topped the market
with the last car load shipped, a week j
ago. Testimonial of county shipping as"ociationwork in other localities esahHchoH tho fart fhnt n n pmiTitv
which has once enjoyed such an advantage has returned to the old method. In Illinois, where the first associations were established, they have proven popular and have held their own for several years, while Ohio, which has been shipping from county units for nearly a year, is highly
pleased with the results and is extending the system. The greater economy of management; the more efficient grading, with shipment at more regular intervals, allowing stock to be marketed Just when it is prime; and, in many cases, marketing of each grade in full car lot shipments, thus receiving top prices, are the most popular arguments in favor of the county unit.

publicity sheets of the Republican national committee federal employes' federations have declared that if the efTort to provide an eight-hour work day for government employes in Washington is pressed they will make it an issue in the forthcoming campaign. "T h e federal employes' unions, through their organizers and their official publications, openly threaten the political life of any member of con
gress who attempts to lengthen to eight hours the working day of employes in the Washington departments and bureaus," the committee's state
ment reads. Would Speed Up Work It is understood that representatives of the federal government who have made an investigation of the situation have reported that by increasing the
work day of government employes in Washington to a minimum of eight hours the same amount of work that now is done could be accomplished by a force of 10,000 to 12,000 fewer em-
Proponents of the proposed eighthour day assert that it serve to speed up government business and rid the service of slackers and incompetents. The eight-hour day question is not, however, the only nightmare haunting the government worker In Washington. One worry is what congress will do with the $240 annual bonus for the next fiscal year, which begins July 1. This bonus. In monthly installments.

that the civil service has been the tar

TO GREET REV. ZERBE,
VETERAN MINISTER, ON HIS VISIT HERE
Old friends will be greeted by Rev. J. W. Zerbe, veteran Wayne county minister, on his return visit to the county, at a series of meetings arranged by the county farm bureau. Rev. Zerbe, who Is now serving in the Methodist church at Scotland, S. Dak., will talk at Fountain City, Green's Fork and Centerville, and will deliver
the Memorial sermon at Chester on Sunday, June 4. A warm welcome awaits Rev. Zerbe after his six years' absence, as his former parishioners still remember gratefully his eervice of more than a dozen years In the county. Many stories are told of his faithful performance of dut
ies, especially for five years during which he conducted weekly services at Webster, Williamsburg, Green's Fork and Chester. During this time he resided at Williamsburg, and never made use of train, auto, horse or even bicycle in serving his charges, walking from one community to another every Sunday. It Is reported also that inclement weather never kept the minister from a church service, as he would often
appear with clothing stiff with sleet or
drenched by rain, and conduct the service on time.
Besides the churches mentioned
above, Rev. Zerbe also was stationed
at Hopewell, Middleboro, Whitewater
and Fountain City.
Farmers and other residents of New
Garden township will hear a popular
lecture by the visiting minister on Fri
day evening, June 2. at the Fountain City Friends church. This meeting
has been arranged by the farmers' association. On Saturday evening, June 3. he will cive another talk before i
farmers' gathering at Green's Fork,
will deliver the Memorial sermon at
Chester on Sunday, and will give a
talk on community improvement in
the auditorium of the new high school
at Centerville, on Monday evening, June 5.

CITY PLANNING WAY 5 TO SAVE CITY MONEY, DAVIS TELLS CLASSES Del Davis, city civil engineer, pointed out the advantage of city planning in a talk before the combined civics classes at Garfield junior high school Tuesday afternoon. He said that through city planning considerable money could be saved in paving the streets of the city and general improvements. Mr. Davis
gave as an example the improvement which is being made at the crossing of the C. & O. railroad at the corner of North Third and D streets. The
street is being widened at this place at an extra cost of $10,000, whereas it might have been avoided if done 10 years ago, Mr. Davis said. He emphasized the fact that construction of improper buildings lowers the value of other property nearby. ' Students of the junior high schools of the city are eligible to take part in the essay contest on "City Planning," prizes for which are being offered by the Rotary club. The contest ends Thursday, May 25. ,

Anyone can afford ARCOLA, she says: "We know that anyone can afford ARCOLA because a little over a year ago when we installed ours we h ad jnst bought our home and furniture, and had no big neat egg to help us out either. Yet today we can truthfully say 'Our Home' and 'Our ARCOLA, 'and with these two, the long winter months don't look half bad." MRS. H. B. HARTZELL. Lincoln, Nebraska.
SHE hasn't forgotten the discomfort of last winter the cold rooms and the dirt that come from a hot-air furnace or stoves. She knows that winter things always cost less in the Spring. Arcola also costs less this month, NOW, than ever before in its history. Make a profit on your foresight. Don't wait for the rush in the Fall.
