Geo. L. Xanders submitted to an operation by a bee-auty doctor last week. The public sale held at New Paris on Tuesday of last week amounted to rtfore than $4,000.

When a man is making an effort t 6 be clean,, or healthy, or happy, or honest, do not disturb him. ’ Ben Kitson brought to the office a grain of corn from his garden. The sprout had turned back into the grain, forming a loop. Mr. and Mrs. Oscar Masters and children spent Sunday in Millersburg with Mrs. Masters’ parents, Mr. and Mrs. Verd Shaffer. Mr. and Mrs. Vern Younce and son Raymond and Mr. and Mrs. Tom Brumbaugh of Goshen called Sunday afternoon here at the Frank Younce home. The Wallace circus that showed here Saturday noon and evening, played to very small crowds. The show, however, deserved a better patronage. Because you have .occasional spells of despondency, do not despair. The sun gets a sinking spell every night, but it rises again all right in the morning. George Howard of South Bend came Saturday evening and visited over the week end here with relatives. He will spend a week or so visiting with other relatives at Wolcottville, LaGrange and Columbia City. Correction: W. 0. Rich is still living at the Cripe home in the south part of town and has not moved his family into the Mrs. Leacock residence, as was stated in last week’s issue of The Journal.

Mrs. Elizabeth Tarman died at the home of a daughter, Mrs. ]Roy Knapp of New Paris, Thursday morning, aged 70 years. She had been ill for .the past three years. Funeral services were held in the New Paris Methodist church Sunday afternoon. My dear Pret:—Please change my address to 1205 N. Market St., as we are now in our new $7,000 parsonage by the church. The work is growing fine, but much tardyiess in business circles —not a bright outlook. We enjoy The Journal. Yours, etc., J. W. Kitson. Ellwood George damaged his roadster last week while driving to Chicago. While making an unexpected turn near Hobart his car left the road and the right door was broken off when it struck a telephone pole. Mr. George and Mrs. "L. D. Mann, who was accompanying him, were hurled from the car, but received no injuries. 0 s , CONSTITUTIONAL ELM The Constitutional Elm at Corydon, one of Indiana’s famous trees, will receive its annual spraying next week for protection from the ravages of fungous diseases and voracious pests, namely the elm leaf beetle and red spider. Spraying will be done at the instance of the Corydon D. A. R. Chapter and under direction of Frank N. Wallace, state entomologist for the department of conservation. Mr. Wallce sprayed this tree last year and this season the famous elm looks healthier than in ten years. It is indelibly linked with early Hoosier history and although the tree has been attacked by diseases and pests in years past, it-shows a much better spring growth than usual this year as a result of treatment from the state department. Nicotine oleate, Bordeaux mixture and airsenate of lead were used in the spray . treatment, and 100 pounds of sulphate of ammonia scattered over the ground at the base as a fertilizer. o DRUCKAMILLER BOY HURT Leonard, the 14-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Druckamiller, received a severe blow on the head Saturday afternoon when he ran into a library table at the Druckamiller home. Frightened by a passing team of horses that shied when they came close to where he was playing in the street, he ran to the house. As he ran through the open door he struck the table with his forehead. Following an examination by Dr. Hoy and Dr. Ford they advised that the boy be taken to a hospital, and it was learned the skull had not been fractured.

Leaflard is nothing but pure leaf fat from the hog; there is nothing else in it. It represents a definite portion of the edible meat in the animal. If it is not disposed of at a price which is in keeping with the total cost to produce pork products, the price of the lean pork certainly will have to bear a greater portion of the production costs and, in all probability, the price which the farmer receives for his live animal will be 1 proportionately reduced.” This explains why the packer pays less for hogs that weigh over 230 pounds than he does for those that weigh under that amount. He does not want the lard because cooking oils have taken the place of lard and he cannot use it. Hence he takes hogs having lard in them at a less price than the lean-meat hogs. A hog weighing 225 pounds should dress about 80 per cent of edible meat for the packer to get his money out. If it is made up of heavy bone and a large head it will not dress that much and the packer cannot afford to pay meat prices for bone. What he wants in a hog is lean meat and the more of it he can get the more he can afford to pay. The hog that comes more nearly , being mature at 225 pounds, not fat, will be the type which the packer will pay the

highest price for because he gets more lean meat from the carcass. The present day “lard-type” hogs, with long legs and high back, up off the ground, at 225 pounds, have a nice big-boned frame upon which to grow a big lot of meat. If they could be marketed at 300 pounds they would dress a higher percentage of meat than at 225 pounds but they would also have some lard which the packer does not want. Vegetable oils supplanted lard and lard substitutes to the extent of 35 per cent of consumption, last year. Their use is increasing. The farmer will have to grow a smaller type hog or wait several years until the “lard types” come down. A hog about the size of the present-day Berkshire is the kind the packer is looking for to pay the top price, as this type can supply the 225 pounds of lean meat on the same feed in the same length of time and dress a high percentage of meat with not so much big bone. o * — H. C. OF L. GETS JOLT When prices of groceries, etc., went up and up, during our profiteering era complaints were loud and emphatic. Now that prices have come down, there ought to be commensurate rejoicing says the Kendallville News Sun.
