Kosciusko county farmer, achieved unusual results the first year with a flock of 1100 pullets.

MID-WEST DAIRYMEN’S COM PA N Y WITH DRAWS The Mid-West Dairymen's company which has been operating in Wai saw for the past eight months or more, has withdrawn from that field according to an announcement made by J. T. Williams, president of the company. It will be remembered that the Mid-West was securing about 25.000 pounds of milk daily, at which time a drivers' strike occurred. ’This broke up the flow of. milk toward Warsaw and many farmers found markers through other towns, cutting down the volume until during the las’, month only a few tiiuiusand pounds have been marketed in Warsaw. Another factor affecting the amount of milk coming to Warsaw has been the ] fact that tihe difference between whole milk and b. tterfat has not been great enough to interest a large per cent of the farmers in selling whole milks Mr. Williams in a statement said in part: “I was very much in hopes that we cculd get enough milk to make it possible to stay in Warsaw. We are op suing a plant at Oxfordsvil'e, Wis.. Saturday of this week from which plant we expect to get a volume of milk sufficient to use a tank car. That's the only way milk can come into Chicago and still return the farmers a price t . at will be* satisfactory to them?’ This is the same company whioh sought to establish a milk station in Syracuse last fall, but nothing became of it a- the fanners would not pkdge themselves to furnish, a certain minimum quantity of milk.

IT’S HOT NOW BUT WIMER’S COMIN’ i • Who ever heard of getting any- ' thing free —least of all a ton of i coal? But it can be done, according to Osborn & Son. Here’s how: “Join the Heatrola Free Coal i Club, pay your $2 en ranue fee , which is applied on the purchase i puce of an Estate Heatrola, and ■ we’ll give you a ton of coal, aoj soluteiy free of cnarge,” Mr. Os- | born declares. The plan isn’t a new- one, Mr. Osboi n says. T.ie Free Coal Ciub was organized in 1921, and every year since, thousands of tons of coal have been given away, free of charge, to the members of the organization. A charter for byracuse has I been secured* by Mr. Osborn i.om the national which, has branches in all parts oi the United States. Announcement of this year’s campaign for membership has appeared in magazines of national circulation. and hundreds of Syracuse residents have undoubtedly read it Mr. Osborn lias announced that he has been authorized to enroll members in the Free Coal Club of 1926. and that he will be glad to receive inquiries and explain the. plan in detail to every interested peison. Many local residents need no introduction to the Estate Heatrola. the appliance whlcn.in five short years, has revolutionized small home heating. In reality, it is a small, but very efficient pipeless furnace, so constructed as to strictly adhere to the principles of fuinace heating, its beauty—it has the graceful lines and rich finish cf 'a hands me mahogany pnonograph—is another very attractive feature. The Heatrola burns no more coal than a single stove, yet provides abundant heat to keep the average home comfortably, and healthfully warm. Discussing the purpose of the Free Coal Ciub, Mr. Osborn said, One of George Wshington’s most famous sayings was, Tn time of peace, .prepare for war? That, in substance, is the purpose of the Free Coal Club. We should look forward to the coming wintwi*, he ntady fcr it even though the weather is very hot now. The Free Coal Chib makes it very easy to do this by making it easy to obtain a Heatrola, and by giving, absolutely free of charge, a ton of coal to each member.’’ Local headquarters of the Free Coal Club are located at Osborn & Son’s store, where Mr. Osborn has announced he will be refedy at all times to explain the plan in de’ail and to enroll members. Mr. Osborn urges that all interested persons act now, as the rolls are closed on August 21. Bird menus In addition to a seed supply, lettuce or a bit of apple should be placed between the wires of the canary cage frequently. Where practicable, this menu may be varied by the addition of chickweed, dandelion heads, thistle and plantain seeds and the fruiting heads and tender leaves of senecio and shepherd’s purse. Watercress, wild oats, knot grass, and other grasses are relished, especially in spring and early in summer. Bread moistened in scalded milk, given at intervals, is beneficial. Soft foods should not be made too wet. Supplies of moist foods must be kept strictly fresh and clean or sickness may result. It is advisable to keep cuttie bone available at dll times. — o MEMORIAL HALF DOLLARS In making change for patrons in the purchase of tickets and in Baltimore and Ohio dining cars, ticket agents and stewards are giving out “Stone Mountain Memorial’’ half-dollars at their face value, as souvenirs. These special coins were purchased from the Stone Mountain Memorial Association, at one dollar a niece, by the Baltimore and Ohio Company, for distribution among its patrons. — O MAKING SOIL SURVEY A systematic soil survey of Indiana, county by county, is being made jointly by the Purdue Agriculture Experiment Station and the Bureau of Soils of the United States Department of Agriculture. The purpose of the survey is to provide a detailed inventory of the soil resources of the state just as the geological survey provides an inventory of the mineral resources. —o — — A classified ad will sell it.

THINGS TO THINK ABOUT ■ Review of Things by tlie Editor As He Sees Them on the Surface. Take Tip Frein That Sun Glass There is a sunglass in one of the laboratories at Washington which measures about three feet across. When properly focused it concentrates the sun’s rays at a single spot behind it that is better than the flame of a blowtorch. It has been impossible to measure the heat of these concentrated sun rays because it is so terrific that it melts all instruments. You and I can stand out in the sunsnine at Washington without melting, yet neither of us would last long under that sunglass! lhe difference is in concentration. Bome of us are like the unconsun rays. We may throw a warmth into our problems of life without mateiially affecting them. There is the woman—and her name is legion—who uses up a tremendous amount of energy but accomplishes nothing because she tiies to do many tilings, or goes at many things, at onee, without concentrating on anything. She gives herself lavishly, but she spreads her energies to such an extent thait they are too thin to be effecTve. Some very effective people do a great many things, but they do them one at a time, concentrating. focusing all their rays of activity at once on whatever they desire to accomplish. And so, like the sunglass, they melt, one by one. the problems that confront them. And as th‘e huge burning glass draws a powerful heat from mere sun rays, so concentration multiplies our power many, many times, and gives us tihe most for the expenditure of our energies. Just a Minute I have only just a minute. Only sixty seconds in it, Forced upon me—can’t refuse it Didn’t seek it, didn't choose it; • But it’s up to me to use it, I nws: suffer if I lose it, Give accoun* if I abuse it. Just a tiny little minute — But eternity is in it. We were told Court Slahaugh has an electric curling iron for sale and is looking for a buyer. He might try our congenial station agent, H. W. Buchholz. As the hours of sprinkling have been reduced a Journal subscriber and a water consumer wants to know if the price will be reduced also? A Chicago nurse was fired for kissing a patient. We have heard of cases wiierp the nurse was married for doing the same thing. Nobody ever made any money sirting still bust a sihoe cobbler. The man and town which win are the ones that thustle. If marriage isn’t dangerous why is it most men wait until after they are married to take out an insuran.-e policy? A man was so absent minded vhat x>ne day he came to the office instead of going to tihe golf links. It begins to look as thovgn a great mtny family skeletons are kept in the daily papers instead Chicago can’t do much with bandits, but she has given a man 14 years for stealing a kiss. And the more expensive the fishing tackle the more it is apt to amuse the fish. Nobody ever accuses the courts of exceedings the speed limit Manufacturers of corkscrews are now making padlocks. Anthing we need in Syracuse? (Xi. yes, an auditorium.
