Anyone interested in haying their name placed on the mailing list for the latest information on weed control should report to the county agent stating the kind of weeds most troublesome and the extent of the infestation. ALBION', Ind., Mar. 11—Er..oil-, ments are now being accepted for the Noble County 5-Acre Corn Club, 400 bushel Potato Club and I, bushel Onion Club for 1937 states M. A. Nye, Noble County Agricultural Agent, Albion. All of these clubs have been popular in Noble County for the past several years. Noble County has had its share of state champion yields in the Potato and Onion clubs. The object of the clubs is to carry out practices that result in most economical production per unit of crop which mean not more acres but higher than average yields on the acres farmed. It is felt by leaders these clubs are a very influential factor in the right direction and fit exactly into the present soil conservation program by raising more per acre on what. is farmed thereby having more acres to keep in pasture and for soil building and soil erosion prevention purposes. In the 5-t.'cre corn club the best 5 acres of corn is checked fori yield at tKe close of the season. Just a’check is made on the yield, the whole crop is not weighed, j Requirement for this club is membership Indiana Corn Growers Association, 50 cents. In Potato and Onion clubs the best acre of these crops is checked for yield at the close of the season. Only fee is 25 cents, each club. . All interested in going in any of the above clubs in Noble County for 1937 are requested to enroll now with county agent’s office, Albion. Partial Transit To Be Made By Mercury By LYLE ABBOTT International News Service Start Correspondent LOS ANGELES, March 11. (INS)— An astronomical record for sharpshooting is about to be set by the little planet Mercury. On May 11, this small . world will do a stunt in the heavens that might be likened to the whiskered sideshow man with the fringed leather coat, who cuts a calling card, held edgewise, with a bullet from his trusty forty-five. Mercury is going to pass between the earth and the sun, splitting its own very inconsiderable diameter along the sun’s southeastern edge. Technically, this* is called a partial transit. A real transit occurs when Mercury, or the other inner planet, Veuus, passes directly between earth and sun, appearing like a small black dot against the lighted face of the sun. Not Visible Here Unluckily for American observers, the heavenly sideshow will take place at a time when the sun is on the other side of the world. It will, therefore, be visible only to those living in Southern Asia, the Philippine Islands, Western Australia, Central and Southern Africa. But the transit is being studied today at tihe Griffith observatory here where its rarity has excited considerable interest. Mercury has a regulation trans-’ it about 13 times in each century but it is calculated that only once in six or seven years does it graze the sun’s edge in a partial transit. Next One in 1940 The little planet’s last transit was Nov. 8, 1927 and its next one will be Nov. 12, 1940. This little world is only about 3,000 miles in diameter. The earth is 8,000 miles. At the distance it will be when it passes the sun May ( 11, Mercury will have an apparent diameter of only 12 seconds, of arc. The sun’s diameter at the same moment will be very nearly 32 minutes or arc, so the sun will j appear 160 times as big as Mercury. ;And yet so loyally do the heav-j enly bodies obey the laws of their i motion, that about 8:30 o’clock on the morning of May 11, Mercury will slip between sun and earth, plunging a trifle over half of its tiny diameter into the apparent disc of the sun, and, an hour later moving on disappearing.

By JEAN ALLEN International Illustrated News j W liter NEW’ YORK -Despite the fact that women have used their franchise to advantage in those countries where they are allowed to vote, only a: comparatively small (percentage have as yet distinguished themselves in public office. Such is the conclusion to be drawn from the recent world-wide survey*completed by the International Federation of Business and Professional W omen. Fundamental reason for the situation seems to be the indiffer-j ence of the women themselves to political advancement. While it is true that the feminine sex is still at a disadvantage in many countries when they elect to “toss ■ their bonnets”, in the ring, there are at least half a dozen where women rate an equal chance with men of mking a success in polities. Finland’s Attitude Liberal In United States there is a notably liberal attitude toward participation of women in politics yet there are today only five women members of. the house of representatives and only one woman senator. Aside from these six, Ruth Bryan Owen Rohde, ambassadress to Denmark, and Frances Perkins, secretary of labor, are the only other women to share the spotlight in. national politics. Great Britain, Poland, Czechoslovakia, Sweden and Finland have the best sufferage recon d, according to th > federation survey. There are nine women members in the Biitish parliament and more than 89,01 k) in the civil serv-

Finish Liberation of Seven Thousand Cottontail Rabbits

'Liberation of seven thousand cottontail rabbits has been completed this week with the cooperation of local conservation clubs, Virgil M. Simmons, commissioner of the .Department of Conservareported today. Distribution of the rabbits in areas where a scarcity of bunnies was reported during the recent hunting season, is a part of the Department’s program to improve , hunting conditions in Indiana. Liberation of the rabbits at this season will give them an opportunity to become acclimated before the breeding season is advanced and will result in the crossing of the new rabbits with the wild stock. In allocating the rabbits to various areas, the Division of Fish ( and Game was guided by reports . from game wardens, members of ( ; conservation clubs and interested! j sportsmen.

I ice. i Czechoslovakia sets the example : lin central Europe with live woinen senators and nine women rein Phut ; Czechoslovakian women appreciate their franchise is evidenced by j the fact i,hat more than JO ner I cent of those eligible to vote go to the polls. > As« in fields, -Fiiakuiuian impressive record relative to ;the.number of women who have l held public office and their contri- . butions to the progress of the re- ! public. Women’s suffrage was ; established there in 1906, and the political equality of the sexes ijs an accepted fact. Progress Made Slowly ' Both Poland a*nd Holland have ■ • been progressive in their acceptance of women in public life. The Polish Diet has included as many as 18 wrnnien at one time, the nation’s League of Nations delegation usually numbers one or more feminine members, and the judici(ary and social Welfare service is by no means restricted to men. (Holland, where Queen Wilhelniin,a I has proven the capabilities of the ■ feminine sex in governmental executive position, each year elects (from five to 10 women' to parliament. In each- country where suffrage is the case, the number (of women in nublic office is surprisingly small. And, considering that the franchise has long been extended women voters in more 'than a score of countries, the progress made by the feminine sex in political fields during the past two decades has not been impressive.

ties and land on which rabbits ha-ve been libera* ed this spring will be checked during the next hunting season to determine the effectiveness of the stocking and whether food, shelter and protection from predators is satisfactory. Along with the liberation of rabbits, the Department of Conservation has been engaged in the “planting” of approximately thir-ty-five thousand game birds- 31,090 quail and 4,000 pheasants—in suitable territory. Distribution of game birds and animals has been shifted from fall to spring months to have the wildlife in better condition with a better chance to survive. Rabbit hunting remains the favorite field §port for many thousand Hoosier sportsmen and the Department or Conservation is (making every effort to improve i this as well as other hunting a-nd ! fishing conditions.

OFFER FARM BOYS CHANCE TO MAKE CASH Purchase Cattle To Be Raised On Neighboring Pastures j The Syracuse-Lake Waw'asee ; Lions Club has started its rurai .program, by investing several! hundred, dollars in young cattle which will be given to neighboring farm boys to raise. i | The plan is to give the youngJ animal to a son of a farmer near Syracuse, let the boy feed it, take care of it until it is large enough to take to market. Then a public auction sale will be held at which all the cattle will be offered to the highest bidder. The profit on each animal is given to ihe noy :V.ho r;..ses it. Each member of the Lions Club is to be responsible for one animal. He will regularly visit the boy who has charge of it, see how it is progressing and encoutarge the youth in every way possible. Such a plan is three-fold in purpose. The club, by united effort is able to cover a wide rural area- and contact a large number of rural people during the year. This interest will encourage the farmer in his own endeavors, and will cause him to be interested in.: the town and ihe club. The qoys will benefit financially and through contacts they make with the town’s business men, the community will benefit by the publicity that is possible from such a project as well as from the fact that a fine breed of stock will be introduced and raised in this section. Boys who are interested in raising a calf who hi ve not already' been contacted may inquire at theSyracuse Journal office for iu» formation. There is no obligixtt n< or no investment needed by the'l boy. He must only be willing to < iaise the animal and give it the j best of care.
