After dinner on Sunday to the woods we would go Down the bld cowpalfe all in a row;There were blackhaws and redhaws and sugarhaws too. All had been kissed by the sweet honey dew. , I] There we wduld climb those tall trees seems like twas no tricjk Down in the woods along Solomon's Creek. Through the week days in summer to Uncle Sim’s we would go He made sweet cider 1 want you to know. •! 1 And that big box full of stones lifted hig h Squeezed out those old pummies and squeezed them dry. Then we’d fiill our bottles and cork them up quick And hike back to the old home on Solomon’s Creek. The old Sorgum mill we all loved so well, Run by Uncle George Rex and old Pete and Bell I ■ . ‘ Squeezed out that juice we all loved to lick On Grandpa Juday’s farm on Solomon’s Creek. Uncle John, Uncle Jess,; Ira Hapner as well To church they would go at the sound of the bell. Then Sunday school over, to church we would stay, Then we’d drive back home the sorrel! and gray , 1 tell you those memories come back to me .quick, Os the old home on Solomons Creek. There’s the old graveyard, where «. our dear ones lie, » They were all with us in days gone by. And the old church and school hous< with its old-fashioned brick Near the old home on Solomon’s Crook.

Future paving contracts entered-! into by the state highway commis- ■ sion will contain a clause that contractors shall place gravel or stone on the road shoulder or berm in front of each rural mail box if set at proper distance from the pa.ve-i rnent edge. . L This faction was taken by the com- ‘ missiofiers following a controversary |• between a down-state postn*aster and rural patrons who insisted upon I setting their piail boxes up against i. the pavement edge because a rural! carrier would not leave his vehicle [ to deliver mail when he found it j impossible to drive over the soft shoulder. The postmaster appealed to’ both the Postmaster General and to the I Highway Commission for a solution, ■and commission action was to in-1 i struct Win. J. Titus, chief engineer, * . to incorporate the clause ints all future paving contracts. ; j Arch Coleman, First Assistant Postmaster General, writes the high- 1 way ’ commission that the Postal De- ( partment expects postmasters to cooperate with road officials, and require rural patrons to erect mail boxes at a? sufficient distance beyond the edge of the pavement line and I in such a position they do not ob- h struct or menace traffic. However,■ f the postal ruling is that rural car-.( riers are not /compelled tcK leave c mail if forced get out of their t delivery vehicle to reach the mail s box. Where new shoulders are soft I this is iikely to be the situation in e certain seasons of the year. t In order to extend the service and r make state roads safer, highway com-, f missioners took the position that the 11 department should place the mental jc distance between mail box and pave- r nmt edge ,so will include this work in the regular paving contract, t New paving contracts of the state c department call for an eight foot j berm, and. an agreement has been c reached between the U. S. Postoffice i Department and the State Highway i Commission that where shoulders c are six feet wide the mail box shall $ be five feet from the pavement edge, 1 and where the berm is eight feet or! c wider, the mail box shall be back t six feet from the pavement edge, ‘ t John J. Brown, road director, says. , f . ju_ !

MAIN STREET WHITTLINGS I This is the year when politicians j and politics will save the country. For with the dark clouds of a presidential election gathering on the he rizon and already sending out an occasional scorching flash of lightening accompanied by the roll of I thunder, the year is auspicious for the demi-politicians (not gids). Whisperings of the approacning storm are beginning to be heard along Attain street. One of the gentle zephers that have been loosened and might grow into a qualified gale is that Sapp, lawyer and recent appointee of the state highway commission is 4 going to be a Republican candidate for Governor and bis campaign manager is to be John Motto — the people’s choice. Francis Bowser, lawyer and democrat, and man about town of Warsaw is said to be making calf’s eyes at the judge’s chair. His brother, George Bowser the hunter of gamblers -stjll thinks that the office of prosecuting attorney will be good enough for him. Then Jack MaterneS of barbecue fame wants the-nomination for State Senator on the Republican ticket, from Kosciusko and Wabash counties. Senator Strey also wants it. Coming closer home, Seth Rowdabaugh is being pushed forward ty his friends as Republican choice for prosecuting attorney. And of course the battle of four years, the fight for the position of postmaster for Syracuse, with five candidates al- i ready in the field makes the precinct committeemen dodge pleadings. It is going to be a great yekr, the farmers want a special session of the legislature to put through tax reform, money cranks want silver, paper money and brick bats; and Frank Green wants,. Burton Thurman for governor. : o— — COMMENTS ON THE LIVE STOCK SITUATION. (H. M. Conway.) Consumers are backing away from the relatively high liquidate -unfinished cattle is quite common. Choice cattle will continue scarce during January, and while some of the better grades should be held and finished for the earls springProspective seasonal changes in prices seem to be more in line with those of 1929 than any of the more receipt years, with the outlook best for the better grades during “the late spring and early summer. Many calves are being fed for late the sum mer and fall. Hog prices are now begi mtng their late winter upturn. With the opportunity to*use a 1932 stamp, packers will store pork p xiucts quite freely. By the middle of January the relative shortage in late winter marketings is expected to become quite noticeable, which should give, considerable strength to the late winter market. The situation calls for holding hogs that need further finishing, but with prices naturally becoming more favorable for the lighter weights. Early fall pigs can be safely headed for Apiil with prospective conditions also quite favorable for summer feeding. The movement of lamb into consumption is being checked by relatively high retail prices. This will tend to make for a continued unsatisfactory situation during January. Supplies have not really been excessive. Pelt prices are above a year ago and the relatively high poultry prices have made for less competition than usual. The situation looks favorable for a gradual improvement but periodic gluts on thefr Eastern markets are to be expected. Late feeding looks attractive, especially for March and early April. The cattle market is expected to, continue in a rather critical position ' during the next three months. Many are short feeding for the late winter ‘ and this year, somewhat contrary to the two previous seasons, a large proportion of all fed qattle are headed for the winter and early spring market. Also, the location of cattle on feed makes for relatively large marketings during this particular period. Considerable difficulty is expected in renewing feeding loans and as a whole the situation calls for rather conservative marketings on the part of most feeders. Excluding cattle practically finished, the late spring and early summer looks best. TRY A JOURNAL WANT AD
