MAIN STREET WHITTLINGS Many conjectures, much speculation. and a h<*st of rumors are heard on Main Street.- A short time ago many positive persons stated emphatically that a local grocery would move from-.it's present location to Main Street; but that rumor like many others has been worn out by repetition. Congress is now considering an appropriate >n : f--r .Soo.otnt for the White IT •::-«> f- ; r repairing v :u;d refunishir. . the latter item to 1 include a kwiming tank .which Mr. Roosevelt will require for the exercise prescribed for victims ttf infantile paralysis. ' We are wondering if Congress made an appropriatinp for Ex-presi-dent Collidge’s electric horse or for President Hoover's 1 medicine ball, and if it cost the country $50,000 fqr the President’s exercise . in the past. The farm bureau has pne thing to its credit. The county organization has put itself on record as favbring our local form of gUvenment and op* posed to a thoughtless plan—offered under the name of economy to the state legislature' to do away With townships in the state. What has been the accepted pro-; c cd-ii e I!: d!V- e pro. eeding and- . da may be entirely changed » legislation in Indiana and Illinois becoriles law. Some Women in Illinois will be paying their ex-husbands alimony and men ar.d women in some instances, in* Indiana will have to go to a criminal court instead of a civil court to apply for a divorce. - ' -—o- —' - THE GARDEN GUIDE W. B. Ward, Hort. Dept. Purdue Seed catalogs are making their appearance and in order to be ready for the 1933 garden season they should be thumbed carefully and Die oc-g varieties selected: After the selections have been .piade, sit right down and place your seed order. There is no time like the present and when this little Job is done you eye then removing the possible delay at jdanting time by having your seeds, on hand. 'Be sure to order enough ' garden seed for a full planting season. Many of the early spring vegetables are .planted again in the late- summer for a fall garden.. Don't f ; get to order a few flower seeds also for 1933, A little color on he table m-akvs the fo<«d more tasty, adds c-oldr to the garden and makes gardening more pleasant. Marigolds, Zinnias, Calendulas, Nasturtiums, Coreopsis, Cosmos, Petunias, Pansy and Scabiosa are good typos of flowering plants that require bui, little care, yet will bloom profusely through the season. Hollyhocks, Delphinium and many of the hardy perennials are much in fav or these days. Gardens like grand mother "used to make” are again growing and flowering around more homes now than ever before. --: -- CHANGE OF PARENTAGE The war debt problem, as Gov. Roosevelt intimated, is Herbert Hoover’s baby now. After March I it will be Roosevelt’s baby and howling .worse than ever. Columbia (S. C.)

When the days are bright and sunny The time is right to take a hike, Or to 101 l around the benches, Front of ‘Hennie’s’ with Milt and Jke Or go up to the railroad bridge, And look for pike or bass, Then come back upu town again, And rest and Gas and Gas! But when the weather’s mussy,. '1 And there’s rain or snow or sleet, *j All the boys come flockin’ in „. F And to hear ’em—its a treat. Course we don’t doubt Frank’s stories! When “Peck” tells us just who’s who, And if ‘Guinea’ didn’t argue politics What would the rest of us do? i There.’s the girls that gather at j .“Charlies" Most every Saturday night. 1 wouldn’t miss one of their meetings ’Cause the week wouldn’t come out right. “Harry” tells me times is goin’ to get tougher, And “Tom” peddlies his worms and “ g«y,;. j But if you want to get the real low- j down. Stop at “Mack’s” hotel for a “lay. *’ There’s lots, of good laughs at “Beeches” And “Arthur's” such a cheerful “Sole.” Gaeas I better go to the depot, And watch the boys shovel coal. HERE FROM WAW’AKA About 40 folks of the Wawaka : Church of the Brethren, together j with their pastor, B. E. Hoover, at-1 tended services here in the Brethren! church Sunday evening.

WORLD’S LARGEST OIL STILL

are three and a half inches thick. It required two specially built steel flat cars, 45 feet long and each with 16 wheels instead of the usual eight, to carry the weight. Loaded on these cars, the container stood more than 18 feet from the top of the rails. Because of that height, there were many bridges that it would not pass under. The route of shipment had to be changed and it was necessary to shunt the cars over many switch tracks. These tracks had to be double strengthened before the load could pass over

NOTES ON TOURNAMENT ( ' — v ; Beaver Dam played in three games jto win the county championship. 1 Mentone playing agafSSt. Beaver Dam jin the finals and lost; ! played four games. According to Emory Druckamiller, Mentone has the biggest High j School basket ball team that he has ever seen, with the possible exception of a team in Fort Wayne. Smally, who jumped center for Mentone in the Syracuse-Mentone game, is 20 years of age. 1 ' | A tremenduous amount of Eskimo 'pie, apples, popcorn, sandwiches and of course chewing gun were ! bought by spectators at the tourj nament. A large crowd attended [Saturday, the only difference in the crowd from the years B. D. (before .depression) being that the women were not quite so stylishly dressed. Harold Bunch, coach of the Burket team, probably played with his | team more than any other coach ) there. He wrung his hands in anxiety pummelled his substitutes sitting on • the bench when his team* did some brilliant playing on the floor, and ran out on the floor and hugged his players with affection after they had come from behind to win from~ wood. ' Bateman and Fink were the officials at the tournament. The only game of .the tournament j which was close as to scoring was* the Milford-Pierceton game. Pierce* j ton won by one point in an over-! Jtime play. The rest of the games jwei'e won by a decisive margin, in j fact, some by overwhelming scores. The big Mentone team j were confident, in fact too confident. They thought that size, strength and power would ! win for them the county championship. They showed no reserve {either by speech or action, in letting their opponents and everyone else know how they felt about it. Beaver Dam proved to them that smart basket ball is an essential requirement to a team that expects to be champion. _ n NO MILITARISM HERE. Some of Mr. Newton D. Baker’s remarks before the Army Ordnance Association in New York - recently possess a special signature because, : as he said, “One of the passions” of , his life has been the promotion of inhernational peace. Referring to the I popular misconception for their professional abilities, the former Secretary of war said: “The history of the United States, j when scrutinized, fails to disclose a' single war fomented by officers of j the American army. But when states-' men have failed to keep the peace, • we can say with pride that the American soldier has never flinched but has sprung eagerly to the defense of his country.” Militarism has never gained any foothold in this country, which possesses the most democratic system of defense, without maintenance of a | large standing army. It is a matter |of pride that our comparatively few professional soldiers are trained to the highest efficiency, but this does not .make them militaristic in spirit, j Peace treaties and reduction of armI aments have their place. But the will for peace must be the most potent factor in the prevention of war.— I Philadelphia Public Ledger. I

them safely. The still was so long that a swivel arrangement had to be built under the center of it to permit the two cars carrying it • to take the curves on the railroads. The big vessel was electrically welded and electrically heat treated and represents the utmost in metal craftsmanship where such heavy metal is used. This enormous container has been put into active service in the production of D-X motor fuel, for which the GafiH Oil Company is the exclusive distributor in this territory.

STUDY OF FLOCK RECORDS POINTS WAY TO PROFITS (Purdue News Service) ANDERSON, Ind.—Valuable information- has been obtained from records kept by Madison county farmers who are keeping complete income and expense accounts on their flocks in co-operation with County Agent L. M. Busche and the Purdue University poultry department. The accompanying figures show what may be expected from a farm flock when good methods of feeding and management are followed: Farm A —lncome for labor and expense of marketing, $126.31; hens, 153; eggs per hen per year, 110; average price received 17.6 cents; expense of building and equipment, $2.26 per bird. Farm B—lncome, $138; hens, 90; eggs, 154 per year; price 10.1 cents; building and equipment expense per bird, $1.13. Farm C—lncome, $364.77; hens, 338; eggs, 181; average price, 13.6 cents; building and equipment expense per bird, S 3. Farm D —lncome, v $679.96; hens 196; eggs* 203; price 19 cents; building and equipment expense, $2.42. “The net returns or income given here are considerably above the average, at least two of the flocks being among the most profitible in the and no claim is made that the average flock is paying as well as those represented,” explained (County Agent Busche. 1 “A direct relation is seen among the number of eggs produced per | hen and the net jncome per flock. Considerable difference in income is made by the variations in the average price received for eggs, the i different marketing system causing (this variation," Busche said. “There appears to be no direct relation among of hens kept and the income received. The contention of Purdue specialists that expensive equipment is unnecessary is borne out by the figures showing the investment per hen in building and equipment. Those in the project are given an annual analysis of their records pointing out where the weak places in their poultry system may be bolstered. ” I Busche reported indications that . more chicks than ever will be brooded this year in Madison county but he cautioned against any over expansion.
