NEW’ COURSES AT PURDUE UNIVERSITY Improved facilities and several new courses in Farm Management, especially in poultry will be offered students who enroll in the School of Agriculture at Purdue University when classes start September 10. The new poultry building, occupied July 1, is the best of any educational institution west of fthaca, N. Y„ and exceptional ’acilities will be available for in-| •.fractional work in this subject.; Better laboratories and equip-! ■nent will be used and situated | s it is near the farm, more J fowls may be used for instruc-j tional purposes. For many years the agricul- | tural colleges have been dealing] successfully with production • problems but more recently, in L response to an insistent demsnd. are paying more attention to the business side of farming. As a result, Purdue during the last few years has offered many ourses on! the business side of banning, and will add two more courses this year, one on co-op- ■ native marketing and the other on prices of farm products. These courses are given by farm management instructors, soecialists in their respective lines who are attracting a steadily growing number of students, especially those students and others interested in the business • ide of farming. The demand fori well trained specialists in Agriculture, Economics and Farm! Management is very strong. Many commercial positions arei open to graduates of the School of Agriculture if they do not J wish to return to the farm, and dozens of Purdue graduates are operating creameries, taking ad-: vantage of the unusually strong; courses in this subject offered at Purdue. Others own or operate orchards and many allied lines to agriculture. o SAVE SOME OLD CORN The spring of 1924 was unusually backward in many sections. F flowing this, the growing conditions were not good, .with the result that the bulk of the corn is exremely late throughout the Corn Be’t and northward. It is so late that most of the crop will; he unfit for seed unless frost; holds off longer than usual. The United States Department ; of Agriculture is calling atten- i tion to this fact at he present (time in order to prevent, if pcs- • sible, a serious seed-corn situs-1 tion in the spring of 1925. The! higher prices for corn in the last] few weeks are drawing much of] the old crop from the farms. ] Farmers not having enough seed corn for 1925 left over from last year’s supply should save the best of their bulk crib corn from which to obtain seed, if necessary. If this year’s crop is killed j by frost before it is mature, this | old corn will provide a source from which seed can be selected for planting in 1925. CAUGHT BASS What is believed to be the largest bass caught in Indiana waters in many years was landed by a 14-year old boy. assisted by a companion, from Otter Creek, I inear Terre Haute. The big fel-1 low crashed the scales for 7] pounds and it took the youngmen three hcfiirs to exhaust it to the point of landing. Attention of state conservation officials to the incident came when Mrs. Joseph Stakeman, 316 South 16th street, Terre Haute, mother of the lucky 14-year old Waltonite, wrote to inquire if the department had a SSO cash prize posted for the largest bass of the season. According to George N. Mannfeld, head of the fish and game division, it is the largest bass to his knowledge that has been taken from Hoosier waters in the last five years, although it is not unusual to catch bass weighing four, five and even six pounds. -—— -o Hall s Catarrh Medicine Those who are in a “run down • coadlt.on will notice that Catarrh bothers them much more than when they are in Sad health.

PUBLIC SCHOOLING IS MICHIGAN FIGHT Action by Michigan voters on the amendment to make public school education universal, at the state primary of September 9, will be the culmination of a vigorous campaign by the Public School Defense League. The amendment reads: “Section 16. From and after Aug. 1, 1925. all children residing in the State of Michigan, between the ages of j ■ seven and sixteen years shall attend a prblic school until they I have graduated from the eighth grade.” It is as an ef- ’ fort to make public school edu- ■ cation universal, rather than as !a blow at parochial schools. In ' 1920 the amendment received j more than 353,000 votes despite • opposition from nearly every newspaper. James Hamilton, president of the league, is a candidate for the Republican nomination for Governor with the separation of church and state as his platform. The outcome will be watched with great interest by every state in the union. o INDIANA LEADS IN MINT PRODUCTION] From tw’o states, Indiana and Michigan, come the largest mint crops of the world. Over 10,000 acres of reclaimed swamps and marshes produce annually over 264.220 pounds of oil that flavors the candy, chewing gum and fountain specialties of America. Over the beds of ancient lakes ' and swamps, where the remains !of ages of growth of aquatic vegetation has accumulated, i stretch the thousands of acres of waving mint fields. On the ' larger plantations, rows of mint i plants under a single ownership ' semetimes exceed a mile in length. For many years the United States has been the greatest producer of mint oils. According to the last census, the total mint acreage in the United States was 11,210 acres, while the mint oil production averaged 288,254 pounds, with a value of $1,440,525. Indiana was first in acreage with 7,107 acres with Michigan second with 3,873 acres. The swamps best adapted for the mints appear to be those ■which originally supported a ; growth of sphagnum moss and I tamarack. The second in prefericnce being the moister burr oak s lands. These soils must be thoroughly drained and the perman- ; ent water bed lowered to at least ] three or four feet roeneath the {surface as the mints make only a weak growth in sodden ground. | ■WHY-IS MARRIAGE LIKE A TELEPHONE! Topeka, Kan.—“ There are two systems in America that I can’t understand.” confesses Paul ; Fung, a Chinese student at Washburn college. “One of them is marriage and the other is the telephone,” he explains. “Marriage and the telephone are much .alike. You have to give a ring before you can marry or telephone. And even if you don’t always get the right party, you can get disconnected without any difficulty.’* o | WOODED LAND VALUABLE A farm is more valuable if it has a woods. Real estate men with wide experience in selling farm lands say that a woods adds ten to fifteen percent to the value of any farm. In other words, if there is a woods of ten acres on a farm of 120 acres, it will add $1,500 to that farm if the land is worth $l5O per acre. Most prospective buyers insist there be a woods on the farm, and it is difficult these days to sell a farm without woods unless the buyer happens to be from a prairie state and is ignorant of the advantages of such. Each year farmers appreciate more the value of a woods, says Charles Deam, state forester, whose division of the state conservation department is pointing out to Hoosier land owners why it is important to reforest, par ticularly idle lands; also to unit * to increase the state’s timber production, if on no larger scale than the maintenance of a wood lot.

FIGUREIT OUT YOURSELF What Do the Bankers Mean/ “Eighteen Billion Dollars in the Savings Bank’*? By JOHN OAKWOOD The bankers keep telling us that the t savings accounts of the American peo-; i pie total eighteen billion dollara. I; asked a dozen people what that meant I to them. Most of them seemed to see visions of endless stacks of coins and bales of currency stowed away in the vaults of fine looking granite bank buildings. • • • Now. as a matter of fact, there is less than nine billion dollara’ worth of money in the country all told, including gold, silver, nickel and paper money of all kinds. That is less than half the eighteen billion. Therefore there must be something wrong with the vision of eighteen billion dollars in stacks and bales in the bank vaults. More than that, there probably is not more than one dollar for every twenty of that eighteen billion actually in the savings bank. • * * But the eighteen billion In savings bank is no myth just the same. Supi pose all the savings depositors could demand all their money all at once, and that they insisted on immediate settlement one way or another when they found they could not get it all In cash. What would happen would be that they would come into possession chiefly of bonds —Government, state and municipal bonds and the best railroad, equipment, public utility and other corporation bonds. The savings depositors are really the owners of all this vast real wealth. • • • What the bankers really mean, therefore, ia that the savings depositors, so tar as money is concerned, have deposited eighteen billion dollars more than they have drawn out and therefore have credit for that much in their savings accounts. The dollara, themselves, that they handed In. have flowed right on through the banks —have been sent out to buy the bonda. That is, the money deposits have been used in behalf of the depositors to buy the safest forms of investments. When a man buys a bond, he really rents his money out — puts it to work to earn him more money. The savings banks have done this for their depositora. • • • So the picture of idle piles of money is all wrong. Even a picture of piles of bonds is wrong ts it stops at that. The bonds represent two things. First, since they are readily saleable for cash, they mean that any individual can get his savings out again in the form of money within a reasonable time. Secondly, and more Important, behind those bonds loom up the railroads, factories, bustnesses and public works that the money invested la them set going for the benefit of everyone. Including the depositors themselves. Saving, therefore, is not merely accumulating money—it is accumulating real wealth. The money flows on like water to turn other wheels —the real wealth and savings of the country are the accumulated factories and other emterprisee evidenced by the bonds. • • • Therefore the true picture of what the bankers mean when they say the savings accounts of the American people total eighteen billion dollara, instead of piles of money in vaults, would be factories, railroads and public works in action. Stimulating Club Work The Ariiona Bankers Association added a stimulant to boys’ and girts’ | club work when it voted to offer a scholarship of |l5O for the year 1924 25 to the high school graduate having ; the best record. The association annually provides traveling expenses for tbe club champions to attend Farm and Home Week at the State College of Agriculture.

POPULARITY OF THE I FEDERAL RESERVE| Test Shows Small Country Banks ■ as Well as City Banks Strongly-Favorable. Assertions by some politicians that | ! small banks generally are inimical to i the Federal Reserve System were put to the test recently by a committee ’ appointed by John D. Phillipa, presi- j dent of the State Bank Division of : the American Bankers’ Association tyr I means of a questionnaire sent to 11.Odd state banks. The result Indicated that an overwhelming majority of them are, in fact, friendly to the System. Two questions were put to the banks. The first was as follows: “Do you believe that the Federal Reserve System has been beneficial to the agricultural, commercial and banking interests of the country and that it should be perpetuated?" To this 4,934 replies were received. Os these 4,024 voted “yes" witheut qualification, and only 61 voted “ho.’’ Further answers still coming in when this tabulation was made indicated the same favorable trend. 'The second question asked by Mr. Phillips* committee was: ’’lf your not being a member should contribute to the destruction of the System, would you join?" While the great majority of the state banks are not members of tbe System, largely for technical reasons, the answers showed that the bulk of those non-members who are eligible to join would do so if such action were necessary to save the System. To his second question 2.576 have been recorded as voting “yes” and only 725 as “no." Many refrained from voting on this question because under the present rules they are ineligible for membership. Some replies voiced certain criticisms of the System, but these universally dealt with details of administration or of the rules and not with the principles of the institution. RECONSTRUCTION A man came into a Nebraska bank in the spring of 1922 and asked for financial assistance. His statement prepared in the Service Department showed he was about bankrupt; that he owed J 1.200 more than his equipment was worth. He had a farm rented for the year. Further credit had been refused him in his own bank and be was about ready to quit and apply the proceeds from the sale of his equipment to his debts. The bank’s Service Man went with him to his farm and after an examination decided that if the farmer had a half dozen cows and ten brood sows be would probably be able to uee his pasture and intended corn crop to advantage. The bank finally loaned him for this purpose and took a chattel mortgage on the stock purchased as its security. The bank admitted that ordinarily a loan should not be made like that, but the farm was close to town and the stock could readily be resold. When the end of the year came around the exact records showed that the family had been well maintained and on half of the cream checks; the other half had been applied on hia |660 note at the bank, covering tbs loan for the cows. Five days before the year was up the principal and interest on the note were entirely paid by crea mchecks. The pigs afforded a net gain of IL4OO after all expenses were paid. In addition to this financial the farmer was taught the value of a good cow and the necessity of keeping s record of his operations to know I which farm operations are profitable. The Farm Service Department of the I bank was able to teach this man things he had never dreamed about It is worth the effort the banks would be called upon to make if each bank could but turn one broken, discouraged farmer into a prosperous one.— 1 Banker-Farmer.

COW’S MILK LARGELY USED IN MANUFACTURES Should the humble cow ever aspire to trade-mark her products, the average shopper would be amazed at the labels “Made from milk” which would adorn his purchases—purchases ranging j from horn-rim spectacles to j chessmen, magazines to radio sets. Three per cagein in cow’s milk is the raw material far a kaleidoscopic array of manufactured products. Nor does this take into account that at our present rate of consumption every 12 persons consume the milk product of one cow. Bread has a reputation of being the “staff of life,” but milk more nearly fulfills that definition. Substitutes. for our customary breads may be had; but there is no substitute for milk. Even the elimination of the casein from milk, the element which provides most of the byproducts, would be inconvenient. Chemically, casein is the principal nitrogenous constituent of milk; popularly it is the “curd,” and its first and principal use is for cheese. 1 o - THOROUGH WORK How A Syracuse Citizen Found Freedom From Kidney Troubles.

Syracuse people testify. Can you ask any more convincing proof of merit ? i Vern Bushong, prop, barber 1 shop, Main St., Syracuse, says: i “My back pained steadily and at : times I could hardly stfand up to ’ the chair and work. There was a lame, sore feeling in my back all the time and I wasn’t able to ihove quickly. My kidneys did not act right at all. I got Doan’s Pills at Hoch’s Drug Store, and they rid me of the trouble.” Price 60c, at all dealers. Don’t simply ask for a kidney remedy—get Doan’s Pills —the same that Mr. Bushong had.

The “meat” is of reddish orange color. Often cantaloupes are loosely called muskmelons and vice versa. Technically speaking, muskmelons are of two general types — cantaloupes and nutmegs. The latter are round with a soft;, netted veined rind and green, very sweet “meat.” — o—“LOUD” FISH A new species of fish that is brilliantly illuminated and that can make a loud, shouting noise when chasing smaller fishes has been discovered in the waters of Monterey bay, California. —————o B. & 0. REPORT For the month of July the operating revenues of the B. and O. railroad amounted to $17,503,623, and the operating expenses to $14,022,718, leaving a net balance of operating revenues of $3,480,654.

QUEER MARRIAGE CUSTOMS In many parts of India, after the marriage ceremony the bride and bridegroom are tied together by the corners of their garments and compelled to parade , the full length of the village, to ■signify that they are united for life. At a Cingalese wedding the presumably happy couple are tied together by their thumbs. In Turkey, when the bridegroom unveils his bride to have the first view of her after the marriage, they both look into a mirror and then knock their heads together so that the images may appear united. In certain portions of China the bride is carried on a servants back over a slow fire,’ on each side of which are arranged, a pair of the bridegroom’s shoes. Another custom is that of lifting a bride over the threshold of her new home. Following an Algerian wedding the husband enters his home backwards holding a dagger in his hand, and his bride follows him touching the point of the blade with the tip of her finger. In the Gilbert Islands a man can demand his wife’s sister in marriage, and is also expected to takb his brother’s widow. — —-o —— 1 NOTICE OF ADMINISTRATION > Notice is hereby given that the undersigned has been appointed by the Clerk of the Kosciusko Circuit Court, in the State of Indiana, Administrator of the estate of Ida Knorr, late of Kosciusko County, deceased. 1 Said estate is supposed to be ■ solvent.
