A. H- HADLEY LECTURES ON BIRD CONSERVATION I The economic importance o I bird conservation and the essen I tiai part that feathered wild lif< plays in human success and hap : piness, is being presented to th< =. «hool children of t&fis state civic organizations, chambers oi commerce, rotary and kiwanis chibs by Alden H. Hadley, ol the state conservation department, now on a speaking tour cd Indiana. Mr. Hadley, who is also the Indiana representative of the National Association of Audubon Societies, of the United States as the Indiana field representative of the state conservation department, is carrying his conservation message direct to the people, and reports to Richard Lieber, conservation direeftor, show that unusual enthusiasm is attending his appearances. Ijist week he conducted 19 meetings in the city sdhools at Gary and his itiniary calls for meetings at Muncie, Terre Haute, Brazil. Noblesville and Lafayette between now and the middle of May. Mr. Hadley us working in conjunction with school superintendents and when he reaches a city the school officials arrange a series of meetings for him to address the students. The conservation department has equipped him with 150 illustrated slides on bird life and a stereopticon, and in the course of his lecture whfrch is chiefly about birds, their habits, imp* rtance in agriculture and horticultural success from the fact that many are insectivorous and are weed seed eaters, he also devotes a few minutes to conservation of natural resources in generalHe points out that birds are unpaid laborers working many hours each day for the welfare of mankind, and his intimate knowledge of their economic good together with their habits, is tending to arouse a decided interest among school children of the state in this phase of conservation work. Mr. Hadley recently spent two weeks in Greencastle, during which Ihte not only addressed the public schools, but appeared before clauses at DePauw University and before several civic organisations including the Women's Department Club. The conservation department sends Mr. Hadley to any place in the state where civic societies and public schools wish. Sisi services, and there is no charge for his features.

KEEP OFF THE LAWNS

| Lawns at this time of the year “ .an easily be ruined by thought- ' fess end badly trained dhiMren. A good l°wn can not be made in a day or a year, and it takes a ibA of hard work and time. It has been suggested to us that the parents and school teachers notify the children to keep off the lawns and walk on the ndewalks, the proper place, and it would heip masters wonderfully, savs an ex.l? tenge. Property owners! < <nd many ; renters spend much time and ’ money to make and keep their i lawns and driveways, also the I shrubbery, in good condition onlv to have th ug-htless and badly trained children come a! 1 mg and rum the same by tramping on hem. A .ycod lawn improves a neighborhood and it is private property. These property owners pay taxes to maintain the scboc.ls and playgrounds so the children will have some place to play, instead of bothering their neighbors. If all parents would correct their children in this matter and explain to them what damage they are doing, we are sure the children would obey. For the majority of the children are not malicious, but just thoughtless. o SCHOOL OF INSTRUCTION Alldean Strieby returned home on Sunday from Williamsport, Penn., where he -was the guest of the Lycoming Motor Co. This s/hool of instruction was attended by service men from all 1 parts of the United States, the purpose of which was to fully acquaint them with the methods used in the construction of the Lycoming motor and to give all the information possible regarding the proper operation and servicing of these motors. The plant builds 300 motors a day, which are used in several prominent makes of cars, including the Auburn, Elcar, Gardner, Kissel and Apperson. Instructive talks were-also given by representatives of the Vacuum Oil Co., the Remy Electric Co., and Wheeler-Schebler Carburetor Co. o- — MET FULL QUOTA Announcement was made in the morning service at the Lutheran Church last Sunday morning that the local Lutheran church had met its full quota in the campaign for funds for Wittenberg College. There are still a number of pledges to be paid which will swell the total beyond the quota guaranteed by the local church. The Syracuse church’s pledge guarantee was $725.00. which was far beyond the apportionment originally asked for by the college. o CELEBRATED i BIRTHDAY Mrs. Jane Akers celebrated her 90tK birthday anniversary on Wednesday, April 1.

NO CHANGES IN THE FISH AND GAME LAWS Thia legislature just adjourned did net make a single change in die fish and game tews, nor in tho I? protecting birds or furbearing ‘nimals, it was printed out by state conservation officials f the fish and game division, rhe department is beinr besieged wrtfJ letters from all ovsr the -tate by person! wanting to know when it is legal to hunt. >his or that kind of animal or to angle for a certain specie of fish. The general assembly did, however, pass one act relating to hunting and ftsflung, one whch Halls for issuing permits to honorably discharged soldiers, sailirs and merinps, whereby they ire permitted to hunt and fish without taking out a license. Persons entitled to tihfo privi’ege, however, will not receive pernuts until the acts are printed, distributed and declared laws by a proclamation by Governor Jackson, which likely will be in early June When applying for the permit, persons entitled to the s-'me are eqirired to present their official discharge papers to tb'e clerk of ibe county wherein they expect to make uste of the permit. This act says that only persons who actually served in wars and wri» are residents of Indiana are eligible to the free permits.

SENIOR CLASS PLAY “Ruth in a Rush’’ was certainly a clever class play, and the reason for it w»s that the ’actresses’ ami actors’ put the play over in a clever manner. The Senior class of the Syracuse high sdwol which had been preparing and practicing for this play did not by any means disappoint those •who went to the Oakland Theatre on Thursday and Friday nights to see it. Special mention can not be made of any one in particular of the students who took part in the play as each' one was equally as fine with, her or his part on the program. On Thursday night the house was filled to almost overflowing, and an Friday night also there was a well filled house. The splendid music for the evening was WrahsHed by the high school orchestra, which aws one of the pleasing numbers on the program. Miss Natheta Sloan gave a whistling solo, and as a testimony of the appreciation of the audience she responded to an encore and gave another number. o ARE WELL PRESERVED Hefman Bieck of Cromwell has a jar of sweet cherries “put up” 21 years ago in Benton. Ind., by a neighbor. He says that they are apparently as good as the day they were canned, although he has never opened the jar to taste them. o NOTICE TO W. B» A.

The annual estimate of the United States Department of Agriculture, which placed the farm chlck ®“ population at 474.000.000 head on January 1. 1824. flooded the >ition with predirtions of an oversupply. This estimate was an Increase of 12 per cent and a gain of 32 per cent since the beginning of 1820. The unfavorable spring, together with attractive prices for poultry which led to done selling, conspired to play a trick on the market and the anticipated flood of poultry and poultry products never reached the large terminals. Receipts of dressed poultry were very light during the summer, but on December L 1924. 18.000.000 pounds more dreaarr! poultry were on hand than os the sum day a year age.

Beeson of the Purdue University Agricultural Extension Service. The afternoon session is from 1:30 to 5:00. The Indiana Soil Improvement Special is bringing to our community the means of helping the farmer to improve the soil. Farmers are urged to bring samples of their 3»il to the train and have them tested by the experts from Purdue University. They will indicate to you the amount of liming material necessary to correct the acidity in your soil. At each stop, twenty farmers will be invited to back their wagons up to the train and take home, without cost to them, enough liming material to correct the acidity on one acre of their land. Sonsult County Agent T. A. Parker for application blanks and further detai H o WAS A MEAN TRICK Angry because a farmer with a toad of ihtey was stow in giving him half the road, an unknown motorist driving south of Cromwell threw a lighted match into the hay. The wagon and hay were destroyed. The motorist had disappeared by the time the farmer. Will Swank, discovered his toad in flames.

SOME STUDENT WILL GET SIOO DOZEN FOR EGGS A ten dollar s?hol?rs'hip in T 9 county agricultural contest, won by an Indiana youth years ago trok him on a visit to an agricultural “.'I ort course” at. Purdue University. He liked the I» place and the place liked him: he did good work and the University wanted good work. His I friends back home had confi--1 dence in bran —they ura>?d him ! to gc back to tfije University and take the four years’ bourse in aTfriculture. He did- That youth J, H. Skinner, is now Dean of Agriculture in his Almia Mater. And now in 1925, the Baltimore & Ohio railroad ernes with) rn offer of .two SIOO scholarships to be given, not to young men vrio have ideas about automatic couplers or air brakesi or mechwcal stokers, but to two Indiana high school youths who win prizes at the annual Purdue E?y Show, Lafayette, Indiana, to be held May 5-9. This offer of the B. & 0.. is very unusual, "but is interestingly indicative of the interest the railroads have in agricultural development in the country they serve. They are interested in producing more eggs, in the going of young men to college, and in the consequent producing of still more and better eggsThe offer of the railroad marks cooperation of a new, promising and mutually profitable sort between the Purdue Egg Show and- the railroad. The scholarship wiM be good in the School of Agriculture in Purdue University, providing the winner is fitted to meet the entrance requirements. One is to be offered any high school student in tfiie counties of northern Indiana served by one of the railroad, and another for southern Indiana served by another line. The scholarships will be available next fall. The Purdue Egg Show is the pioneer of its kind in the country- It was started in 1908 by students of agriculture who put the management of show—at that time small and unpretenr tious—into the hands of freshman students. The show has grown ever since,- until it is now the largest as well as thte oldest in the country. Its management is still iri\ the hands of fres' : men, who gain from the conduct of the show not only a useful knowledge of eggs and egg values, but also an equally useful experience in a administrationLast year there were exhibited 900 dozens of eggs from all parts of the United States and tihe steps are being taken this year to obtain exhibits from foreign countries, and already inquiries have been received from Holland andn England asking for the date of the show and information concerning it. It is the aim of committee in charge this yqar to include in the exhibit eggs of all kinds from all parts of the country, and indications are that the number of eggs en tered this year will surpass even the record entry of 1924. , ELECTED OFFICERS The Ladies’ Aid Society of the Methodist church met at the bbme of Mrs. P. L. Foster last Thursday. The following new officers were elected: President. Mna S. C. Lepper; First Vice President. Mrs. Robt. Pletcher; Second Vice President, Mrs. C I. Beery; Secretary, Mrs. B.

THINGS TO THINK ABOUT ; Review of Things by the Editor As He Sees Them on the Surface. The Woods are Full of Good Men If there ever was a time when there were more bad men than geoid,* it is not new. and it probably never was, for nature wiW not ajlow the positive to be ovencome by the negative, the gxx>d by the bad, light by darkness, heat by cold, life by death! The tug-of-war between right and wrong fierce; by times, but there is never a question <39 to tbe rii>ht ultimately succeeding,. It may get the worst of it for a tiknh, but not for tong, and certainly not forever. In spite of the impression that there are more bad people than go d ones for all emorgenciies. Os courrte there is business for more goed ones, but there is a swd one for every good and sensible woman. One reason why so many w> men pick up ,bad sticks is because they don’t know good ones. And instead of searfeing for them in the open Wood they seek for them in hot houses, pretty graves and show places. Instead of looking for those who fi|ave come up in the open, battled successfully for existence and grew into hardy men, they took for the dninty. trim, natty fellows! •v.fio grow beneath protecting roofs, behind plate glass and under cane of well paid nurserymen. These are nice to look upon, tobir fine manners are agreeabife and their attentions are must - Alongside of these tfm? sturdier son?) of nature look rough and rwyged. Their strong hands are ''oarser, their sure feet larger, and their manner less dainty. But, mind you, the grasp of V ) ir strong hand is more assuring, fiheir standing firmer and their manner more determined. There are plenty who are wait- j ing-, to be found. But they -#>» 1 not much giiven to full dress! champagne suppers and petting parties. Tie announced platform of Mrs. Congressman Kdhn, of California, is "ju It common horse sense.” That might be understood on the Pacific coast but she will have to make * diagram of it in Washintgxxn. , A motor ear requires water, oil, »ir and gas to run. In view of the new gasoline tax there may be a little satisfaction in knowing that half of tide necessities of its operations are free. An expert advises that you marry a brilliant woman for success and a pretty women for happiness. He might have added that you should marry a rich one for comfort. p It has been figured out that a garden plot, approximately forty feet square, will furni'fx ample exprease for one family, three data an Airedale, and 21 strange chickens. Cr ssword puzzles having been barred from an eastern school, the next move, of course, would be to bar cross words from the teachers. We are as yet undecided as to the merits of bobbed hair for women, but we are unalterably in favor of bobbed whiskers for men, _ ; J Life is full of happiness. It’s not difficult to find it and redistribute it—but it does require determination. A machine has been invented to determine if you (are fitted to your job. The machine is not an automobile. He who squanders his money right and left can’t expect to hfetve any left. Isn’t that right? Many a man who runs a too liberal credit business is likely to get no credit) for himself. There is one consolation —the town will get ono-fourth of a cent of the new gasoline tax. The honeymoon is over when 'she appears at breakfast with her regular face.
