The election did not chance personally or politically the county council which was previously Democratic, as there were no county councilmen up for. election. A Democratic Judge was elected, a Democratic clerk and the Demi cratic treasurer . .■ , All the patronage, except what the prosecutor and .sheriff 1 can hand out, which is m t very much, will, go to the Dem .rats Ihe party will.use this pat■ build up a- stror g political machine within the c- ut.ty • which will not easily be overthrown.

' ■ i FARM ADJ V STM ENTS IO MEET CHANGED ECONO.MIC CONDITIONS - .. ■ - ■ ■ / e Many important changes in: the j conditions of production-and eojmpe- ■ tit; m in farming have taken gla<e since iyJt» Before the problem of ad- ! justing farming to meet these, chang-1 ed ,conditions is undertaken a brief summary Os the rnore important of these changes will be made. The summary follows: 1. The advamage of good market outlets has been greatly increased. In the period >f falling pieces the price of raw materials tends to fall! first and farthest. This includes such products as grain, hay, potatoes and 1 I the like, and is most effective in areas distant from market. Fi and semi-finished products such as j poultry, eggs, butter, meat, milk and the like, do not fall as quickly or as low as the raw materials. This j creates very, favorable feeding ratios and the production of these fini- I shed products would be profitable were it not for falling inventories. ! Once the bottom is reached feeding ratios. &re likely to be very favorable! to. the production of these finished ' and semi-finished products. Marketing costs, taxes, railroad transportation charges, rents; in fact j all the items which enter into the I distribution of goods, tend to lag ; and remain high with the result that the disparity between retail and: farm prices continues to widen. Pro-' ducers located close to markets or ■ who have favorable market outlets/ are in a relatively favorable position ’ Producers who do not have favorable market outlets find it to their advantage to develop better outlets.

PULLETS SHOULD BE HOUSED WHEN EGGS ARE FOUND ’ LAFAYETTE, Ind.-Many Hoosier poultry raisers leave their maturing i pullets on the growing rangfe longer .than necessary, for there is seldom ' any advantage to keeping the pullets on range after they commence layling, according to Wm. Kohlmeyer, l of the Purdue Poultry Department. Kohlmeyer advises that when eggs are found around the pullets’ quarters and many of the birds show signs of approaching maturity, the pullets should be put in the laying house. At this time the pullets can be moved and changed over to a laying ration without danger of serious-

This Woman Lost 45 Pounds of Fat “Dear Sirs: For 3 months I’ve been using' your salts and am very much pleased with results. I’ve lost 45 lbs. 6 inches in hips and bust measure. I’ve taken 3 • bottles-—one lasting 5 weeks. I had often tried to reduce by dieting but never could keep it up, but by cutting down and taking Kruschen I’ve had splendid results. I-highly recommend it to my friends.”—Mrs. Carl Wilson, Manton, Mich. To lose fat SAFELY and HARMLESSLY, take a glass of hot water in the morning before breakfast—•don’t miss a morning. To hasten results go light on fatty meats, potatoes, cream and pastries—a bottle that lasts 4 weeks costs but a trifle—but. don’t take chances— be sure it’s Kruschen -your health conies firstget it at any drug store in America. If not joyfully satisfied after the first bottle—money back. .

This public utility company, however, cannot stop operation. It must continue to supply service in bad times as well as good, throughout its entire territory. The business of this company has been severely hurt by loss of customers. Many factories and other business enterprises have closed down, many other customers are using less service and many others cannot, pay thein bills, all seriously affecting the company’s- revenue. ? " A substantially fixed number of employees must be on duty in bad times as well as good in order to keep service on the (lines, to take care of customers, to make such repairs as are necessary for safe operation and to look after thg accounting required by law. Drastic reductions have been made in operating expenses, including a reduction in wages and-salaries of employes. ■: ■ The’ u'orking force necessary to keep a utility as a going concern, the high investment, per dollar of gross . revenue and the taxes are the principal, which go to make up.the cost of furnishing utility service. Taxes have been increased continuously. State and local taxes paid by the Northern Indiana Public f Service Company in the various counties during the current year totaled Revenues have been and are continuing to decrease. Fixed charges must be paid or receivership follows, which usually brings disorganization, poorer service and a complete cessation of extensions and improvements. In good times utilities can reduce rates, and this company'always has done, so whenever possible. In bad times such as these, rate reductions are extraordinarily difficult because of the loss of revenue and the many costs which cannot be reduced. This advertisement is published by the NORTHERN INDIANA PUBLIC SERVICE COMPANY in the interests of a better understanding of the public utility business, and the attitude of the company in respect |o its relations with its customers.

When layr ' ing has once begun, it is too late to hold the birds back, according to ; Wm, Kohlmeyer. It is better practice to house the pullets and provide a good laying ration. ■ ' • It has been common [practice to confine the birds to the house for about two weeks after they are housed. Then, when they have become accustomed to their dew quarters, they inay be allowed outdoors each day from noon onL
