RUNNING WATER IN FARM HOMES: KEYNOTE OF INDIANA HOME 1 SPECIAL TRAIN ON I*. E. & W. Running water in farm homes was the keynote of the Indiana Home Special Train which was in Walkerion from one to four o’clock Wednesday afternoon. More than 300 persons visited the train which is touring the state on New York Central lines under the auspices of Purdue University, to inaugurate a campaign for running water in country homes. “Nothing means more to the farm woman than runnig water in the homes.”‘said W. Q. Fitch, of Purdue, who has charge of the train. “Only by providing these conveniences and making actual farm living more attractive can we hope to keep real farmers on the land and assure the future food supply of the nation. Life in the country must be made so attractive that when a man who has spent most of his life on the farm desires to retire, he can have a modern home right there and will not have to move to town.” “A farmer doesn’t think much of putting several hundred dollars into a binder which he uses a few days out of a year.” said Mrs. H. T. Moore, one of the university lecturers. “and he should think no more of putting several hundred dollars into a running water system and other conveniences for his wife.” The first coach e.ntered by the train visitors showed an electric power plant which lighted the car, operated an electric water system ■which pumped water to a milk room and well equipped bath room. It also provided power for an electric

ironer, a washer, a churn, separator, and other features. All had individual motors controlled by a switch. Tw’o individual water systems were shown in the next car and another complete electric power plant was running. The third car was equipped somewhat like the first, but instead of the milk room a modern kitchen was shown, with tables at the proper working heights, built in closets and features to lessen the housewife’s work. A feature of this was the dish drainer which does away with the labor of drying dishes three times a day. The fourth car served as a lecture room, both men and women speakers talking on running water and sewage disposal systems and home

conveniences. Better living ct ♦ and the heartv reception given it here indicated a wide public interest in this problem. A FEW DETAILS ABOUT WISCONSIN Walkerton, Mar. 22, 1920. Editor Independent: I am going to give you a few facts and a little news about Wisconsin which you may arrange properly and use if you wish to. There are a number around Walkerton and North Liberty who are interested in that country, so it might be of interest to your readers. Just received a letter dated Mar. 20, from J. S. Bordner, of Ladysmith, our former county agent, and he says they had moderate weather and 29 days of sunshine in February, had quite a bit of snow but it’s all gone now but a little in the woods. The fields are all open and the grass is green and very nice. Last Wednesday 4 5 Amish settlers came into one litle town tract that has just been opened for settlement. Everything is moving fine, have arranged to give prizes in a large land clearing contest and expect to increase the production of Rush county 25 percent. Seward Snyder. SAVE MONEY ON MEAT.

The print paper shortage is cans- ■ ing us a lot of twisting and squirm- [ ing to find enough space both for ad- I vertising and reading matter. While l our advertising columns are crowded and infiringing upon space that should be allotted to reading matter, yet we are obliged to cut short our advertising every week for lack । of space. The print paper situation is a very serious one, and is placing all newspapers, big and little, in a most trying situation. We are struggling along against obstacles, hoping for an early relief from these un- j pleasant conditions. In case you have legal notices to publish we would appreciate it very much if you will kindly remember us and instruct your attorney to have them published in this paper. I The local paper is the proper medii um in which to publish legal notices j which have a local bearing. The paper, in fact, is entitled to such no-I tices. and it is no more than right I that this patronage should, be kept i at home. Now, kindly bear this in ! mind and remember us and we guar-' iantee that your notices will be given I s prompt and thorough attention. ! tf-wnl. It is evident to even the casual . observer that, in spite of the improv- j ed methods of fighting insects, the i aggregate loss to farm and fruit | j crops, garden and truck patches ini j Indiana, from this source increases ; ■in proportion as the land under cul- I ivation increases. Insectivorous birds, largely decimated through cutI ting of forest land and elimination lof natural sanctuaries, are the chief | enemies of insect pests. If they can I be induced to return and propagate | • through a systematic campaign of i ■providing them suitable environ-] I ment, they will greatly reduce this loss, is the argument of »he Depart-] ment of Conservation, which urges 'citizens generally to awaken to the' vital importance o.‘ birds as the maj- : j or friends of the farmer. ' Indianapolis dispatch says that d- ’ic officials are hard to get f (this v • : r on account of high wages] in effect. The law provides that I election officials shall be paid at the I irate of S 2 per dav. while primary] and registration officials are to re-j | reive at the rate of $3 per day.

A BRILLIANT DISPLAY OF NORVERN LIGHTS An unusually br.iliant display of northern lights interested the people of this part of the world Monday evening, being observed as far south as Inc^nnapolis and east to the coast, the electrical effects being stronger in the east, according to wire reports. The weird, shifting shafts of light failed to take on the rosy hue that startled the people all over the world during the remarkable display during the war. three years ago, but the lights of Monday evening presented some startling effects of their own, reaching far around to Ihe south, from the horizon to the zenith. Telegraph lines from Chicago to New York were tied up for more than a quarter of an hour and service in Indiana and in the west was partially affected for two hours or more.

। u u,. CHANGE LIBERTY BONDS I Uncle Sam makes no charge for [the exchange of temporary into permanent Liberty bonds. The temporary ones may be surrendered through banks and trust companies and forwarded by them to the' Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago. The | new bonds will be delivered at the I expense oj the United States. This! I official announcement was made by jthe Federal Reserve Bank of Chi- ! cago that the Liberty bond holders jmight know that they do not have to I pay anything to the banks for ex!changing the bonds for them. The exchange of bonds started March 15. In the Seventh Federal Reserve District there are outstanding $502,000,000 of the third loan bonds, ]May 9, 1918 and maturing September 15, 1928. To this issue there; were close to 3,450,000 individual subscribers. On and after April 1 the Reserve Bank expects to have |sufficient supplies of the permanent ] bonds of the first and second 4s and first and second 414 s to go around. Os these four classes there are outstanding in this district about $518,000.000 worth. The first 4s represent conversions ' lof the first 3 per cent Liberty । loan bonds to the 4 per cent bonds of ; the second Liberty loan. There is i every advantage in converting these i Ito the 414 per cent bonds of the । ! third Liberty loan, as they retain ] I their original maturity dales. The] I first 4s have been without an interest coupon since last December; the ( second 4s since November. This in- । terest will be fully adjusted on the 'exchange into permanent bonds.

ARBOR AND BIRD DAY APRIL 16 Gov. Goodrich in a proclamation has set Friday, April 16, as Arbor and Bird Day. In his proclamation he says: “We shall ever have a deep interest in bird life. Without these cheerful friends, with their beauty and their songs to lighten the daily task by cheering the heart, much of the charm of life would disappear. Moreover, their value as destroyers of multitudinous insects in the garden, orchard and field is of such consequence that every act to encourage bird life is an act of a public benefactor. “Let us, therefore, do what we can to encourage the planting of trees and protection of our birds. To this end I urge the appropriate observance of this day by all the ' public schools of Indiana. I also urge an Arbor day celebration by the various county and municipal authorities, believing that they should join in making this day distinctly beneficial to all the citizens of Indiana ” i - .1 11-—■

EXPERT ADVICE Over at Nappanee a young lady fell on the ice a few days ago and • sprained her knee. Her sister had a • brilliant idea: 1 “Oh. sis.” she said, “let’s call in 4 that good-looking new doctor.” f The young man in question had . passed the house frequently during ? the last week, his little black case ( in hand. The sister watched for him, ■ and within an hour she saw him 1 coming by. She opened the door and f called to him: “Won’t you come in?” 3 ... j The young lady with the injured knee began at once to tell him her

tened, with an occasional nod. Finally she raised her skirt and showed him the swollen joint. “Well,” he said, “isn’t that too bad? I think if I were you I’d call a doctor.” “A doctor!” The girls gasped. “Aren’t you a doctor?” “Oh. dear, no.” he told them. “I’m a piano tuner.”—Ex. WHEAT HARD HIT. Opinion among farmers in this locally is that the winter wheat is a goner. Some have a faint hope enough of the plants will survive to make a partial crop, and where well protected, this hope possesses a degree of certainly, but in the main the outlook just now is gloomy for anything like an average yield. The crop went into the winter infested with flv, and this pest will doubtless be on hand to put such plants as come through out of business.— Westville Indicator.
