HAMILTON 178 OR CALLING AT THE Carpenter and DENTIST Surveyors DENTISTS Rossville is a village. It was given 1588 inhabitants by the government census in 1920, It is built where trees fringe the prairie, out in the open, in the northern part of Vermilion counâ€" That is, when the roads were good enough. This country down here is level and the soil is black. ~On the Old Trail Rossville in the beginning was on the old Guerdon Hubbard trail. Some called it the Vincennesâ€"Chicago road. Now it is the Dixie highway, conâ€" crete. A neverâ€"ending 2â€"way stream of motor cars, bound north and south, pours through. Hoopeston and Rossville are six miles apart. In the soâ€"called "good cld days".baseball games between the ‘towns of necessity ended in fist fights. If a Hoopeston boy called on a Rossâ€" ville girl "the gang" lurked in the shadows and the night was made merâ€" ry; and vice versa. Now with the concrete road the six miles is made easily in nine minâ€" utes. And the scrapping days are over. _ Not long ago the old rivals got together and built a country club, with nineâ€"hole golf links, midway beâ€" tween the two towns, brick club an‘ everything. Now when any farmer makes $500,â€" 000 farming in a single lifetime he ought to have recognition. Phil Caâ€" dle isn‘t a husky, muscled man, and he‘s 78 years old with fingers a bit gnarled and nails that have made frank concessions to service. I asked Phil Cadle to tell me how he got his start in life and he threw back his head and laughed. Successful Farmer Ever hear of Phil Cadle. He lives a couple of miles out of Rossville. We went out to his house. Phil Cadle is a farmer who has made more than $500,000 out of farming! United we have fun; divided we fight. "You‘ve been hearing about me trading my girl for a horse?" he challenged. I told him, no. "Well," he chuckled, "it‘s the truth, anyway. One time I was walking down the street with a girl. Just a kid then. And I met another boy who had a horse. He offered to trade me the horse for the girl. I traded." again. i";liiept the horse," he said, "but the other fellow couldn‘t keep the girl." Phil Cadle owns 1,780 acres of land now, all fine Illinois farm land. He admits having $100,000 loaned out on notes and mortgages and owns some town buildings, bank stock and other things. I asked him to tell me what was the difference between him and other farmers. l Always Saved Something _ "I work with the same tools and have worked under exactly the same conditions that they have," he reâ€" plied. "But this I‘ve always done. When I raised corn and sold it for 15 cents a bushel I always save someâ€" thing. When I didn‘t have enough money to buy teams I farmed with rented teams. But my object then was to save enough money to buy Tthey shject io being ~Lied down." Cows But, I am informed by the bankers and merchants, the farmers who have cows and pigs and chickens need credit less and have more of it than those who don‘t. who need it not at all can get worlds und chickens do tie farmers down. of can‘t get any. On the road between Rossville and ow W. & Sakre ower 150 Hives bees. W. R. owns 150 hives and calls his farm the Clover Blosâ€" som apiaries. '._-Ph dire from 75,000 to 100,000 /bees in a good, strong colony; that an acre of Phil Cadle set to chuekling Parraw frak‘w eeply ho uen me summer‘s crop m ubout 13,000 "sectons" of comb honey and about 11,000 pounds of extracted honey. . _ 000,000 bees, he finds, keeps one conâ€" ti-n-nu We found him exâ€" moths, the eremy of bees. ‘ He says the queens from breeders, fifty in a lot at fifty tents each. Little Things to Know Yes, there are little things to know about all sorts of businesses if you‘d prosper. _ For example, bees can fiy profitably only certain distances. Mr. Suhre moves his colonies out to difâ€" ferent locations to be near good forâ€" If each bee should lose an hour a day due to unnecessary travel that would be, you see, 15,000,000 hours lost in a day. And bees, like boys, must be kept at work if they are to show profits. e You may think that this little story about Rossville runs mostly to Phil Cadle and Suhre‘s bees. Well, why not ? They‘ve both worked busily and to profit. I often hear people, mostly the alleged intelligencia, speak scornfully of the materialistic world. Yet the world‘s greatest men have been practical.
