The electrical motor for pumping the deep well water which cools the milk can Tt>e seen on ,the floor at the right; Nineteen years ago George Ohlendorf and his bride settled on a 167- acre farm, near Crete,'Illinois. As Mr. Ohlendorf expresses it, the farm was "nothing but a mud hole". Almost two decades later the Ohlendorf place was chosen by the Pure Milk Association from over 200 entrants as the "neatest dairy farm" in three states, Illinois, Indiana and Wisconsin, a monument to George Ohlendorf s perseverance and to the ingenuity of modern science in the development of electrical labor-saving de- Vices. Farmer Ohlendorf is a staunch beT liever in the use of electricity to perform the many tasks of a dairy farmer. In the spotlessly clean barn his herd of 12 Swisg cows is housed, with every modern convenience, even _to electric fans to keep them cool during warm weather. The milk cooling and aerating is done by cool Water and fresh deep well water ia constantly at hand through the efforts of an electric pump. All grain is ground with a power grinder. Electric lights and a radio complete the transformation of the barn into a "bovine parlor". Mr. Ohlendorf has not stated whether the radio in his barn is to entertain the cows or to keep them posted on wbrld news. " From the landscaped entrance t0 the artistically decorated rock garden this farm conveys the impression of lavish expenditures, but on the contrary every improvement was made by Mr. Ohlendorf and his wife at a ^minimum of cost. Mr. and Mrs. Ohlendorf employ practically no outside labor on their place, their "hired hands" being electrical appliances. In commenting on the neatness and efficiency of the Ohlendorf farm, Richard Boons-tra, agricultural engineer of the Public Service Company of northen Illinois emphasized the important part played by electricity. "Mr. Ohlendorf" , he said, "has made many uses of the facilities which electricity offers for the modern farm and farm home. The recently liberalized arrangement for bringing electricity to northern Illinois farms, not now reached by power lies, (will make these same laborsaving facilities and home conveniences far more widely available in the coming year." Sixty-two farms out of the original 230 entrants qualified in the "Neatest Farm Contest" with a grade of 90 or over and were awarded plaques. The fai-m of John T. Cooper at Orland was awarded second place and M. P. Lies' farm at Naperville, third. The judges were Dean , Chris L. Christensen, University of Wisconsin, Dr. H. A. Ruche, University of Illinois afid Dr. H. .W. Gregory of Purdue University. * Farm Bureau News ILLINOIS 4-H MEMBER : < ESTABLISHES HOG RECORD The new world record price of $1.10 a pound for fat market hogs, which ,kas just been establised by an Illinois 4-H boy's pig, has set local historical experts at work digging u|>" the best price that wa® ever paid for fat hogs from McHenry county, according, to Farm Adviser John H. Brock. The holder of the new world record Cn fat hog prices is Willard Bittin, a 16-year-old 4-H club member of {feherman, Sangamon county. It was established during one of the night society horse shows at the recent Illinois State Fair when Willard's 170 pound Berkshire barrow wag sold to a petroleum company for a total of $187.20. There are 4 of Willard's fellow 4-H pig club members in McHenry county and 5,000 of them in the state. All of them are being trained in modern »nd approved methods of beeding feeding and managing hogs under direction of their county farm advisers, local leaders and the extension service of the College of Agriculture, University of Illinois. Willard's feat sets another new high for these club members, as well as for adult breeders and producers. Less than 24 hours after the check for $187.20 had been placed in his hands, he had invested $25 of it in purebred Berkshire gilts. With this as a start he hopes to build up a purebred herd of his own and spend Jiis life on the farm. With the re- I mainder of the money he intends to j re-establish his bank account which he was forced to deplete in order to get expense money for his competition at the fair. With the pig which later sold for > $1.10 a p<yind, Willard had won first prize in the class for Berkshire bar- 1 j>ws weighing between 160 and 190 j "pounds and had taken the champion- | ship over al} breeds and weights of barrows in the 4-H show. ~ Previous to sale of Willard's pig j at $1.10 a pound, the best previous mark was $1.00 and before that it j was 77 cents. | The record breaking sale was the fetaure of the state fair 4-H Club show in which approximately -|,250 of the 26,000 boys' and girls' 4- H club members of the state competed for a share of the $10,315 In prize money. Franklin oa Tum Taxes were a problem even in Benjamin Franklin's time. Concerning this burden he once said: "Taxes are indeed very heavy and if' those laid on by the government were the only ones we had to pay, we might more easily discharge them; but we have, many others. We are taxed twice as much by the time we waste, three times as much by our pride nad four times as much by our folly." 'TOBACCO ROAD" NOW PLAYING AT SELWYN Only U. S. Leper Coloty The only leper colotiy in the United! States is the United States Leprosy * riiUB at Carville, La. ' T«rM<loM U. S. Pndict Tornadoes ire rarely know* optslde the United States. ^ , ^Tobacco Road," now! playing at i the Selwyn theatre in Chicago, with Henry Hull, the original New York star, is the mos^ "wii^ly discussed | play in America today. It smashed all records for popularity in N#w j York, where it has played for almost three years. Not sihee "Abie's Irish Rose" has any play proved so popular. This spic American drama by Jack Kirkland, based on the novel by Erskine Caldwell, is a fascinating study of life and love among the poor white trash of the Georgia back woods. Henry Hull, who has long been considered one of America's finest actors for more than a score of yeats, gives the outstanding performance of his brilliant career as a star in "The Man Who Game Back," "39 East," "The Cat and the Canary," "Roger Bloomer," "In Love With Love," "Lulu Belle," "Michael and Mary," "Gr%nd Hotel" and "Springtime *or Henry." Hull's portrayal of Jeeter Lester in "Tobacco Koad" won him the unanimous vote of the New York* critics as the best performance on Broadway two seasons ago when he created this now-famous role, which has been called the "American Hamiet," while the play itself has been termed the modern "Uncle Tom's Cabin." The cast which supports Hull is one of the best ever to come to Chicago, rt is headed by Mary Servoss, favorite of the New York, Chicago and London stages. She was last seen in Chicago as the leading lady in "Counsellor- At-Law" and "Street Scene" Other notables are Fiske O'Hara and Bonita Des Londes. Leon Ames; formerly known as Leon Waycoof, Haila Stoddard, Pauline Drake, .Hallene Hill, Donald Barry, Herbert A. Pratt and Howard Banks complete the distinguished company. So great has been the demand for seats for this unusual play that the Selwyn Theatre is offering "hine performances weekly, with performances every night, including Sundays, at 8:30 P. M., with seats from 50c to $2.50, plus tax. There are' matinees every Wednesday and Saturday at 2:30 P. M. Wednesday matinees are bargain matinees with seats from 50c to $1.50, phis tax and Saturday matinees are scaled from 50c to $2.00, plus tax. The management of the Selwyit Theatre announces that mail ' and phone orders are given prompt attention. WHY= Why the Sea Shells Roar When Held Close to Ear When some sea shells are held closeto the ear a noise resembling the distant roar or rumble of the sea can be heard. Many people believe this is an echo of tlie waves, What Is heard is a composite of th^ pchoes of a great number of ordinarjr sounds occurring in the vicinity of the shell Because of the peculiar shape of the shell and the smoothness of Its Interior the least vibration produces vi echo, and numerous such echoes are blended into the rumble or roar. The effect is heightened by the fact that the Shell magnifies the pulses in the head as well as the sounds produced In the vicinity. Why They Prefer Shootinf There is nothing very tender abotit the way they hang people in Austria. Their gallows has no trap. It merely consists of a rope running through a pulley. The condemned man climbs on a little stepladder. The hangman puts a rope around his neck and pulls It tight. Then they kick the ladder, out from under him. In accordance with p.n old Austrian custi-m the hangman's two assistants pull at the condemned man's body while the hangman pulls at •the rope. This is one reason why Austrian prisoners prefer shooting. Why They Are "White Ruitiam** The White {..ssians are considered by Beaulieu to be the purest of the three great Slav divisions, the Great Russians, the Little Russians, and the White Russians. Their dialect is akin to Great Russian. They have lightbrown or brown hair with a reddisli tinge abd light-brown eyes. Apparently they were so named because of their costume, which consists of white smock, bast shoes with white legging, and white homespun coat 7 Why It Is the Volt* Bureau The Volta bureau was founded and endowed in 1887 by Dr. Alexander Gra ham Bell, inventor of the telephone, it takes Its name from the Volta prize, established by Napoleon, which wa« awarded to Doctor Bell by the French government for his invention of the telephone, from which he received enough revenue to establish the Volta bureau for the Increase and Diffusion of Knowledge Relating to the Deat, Why Beatitudes Are So Called The word "beatitude" means a state of blessedness, or consummate bliss, and .tfie phrase in Matthew refers to the declarations made by Jesus Christ with regard to the blessedness of those who are distinguished by certain spec! fled virtues. The beatitudes are regarded as the essence of Christlap per fection. :.
