Collins, turning the defendant over
to his father-in-law, R. C’. Kinnick.
Indianapolis, who promised to make
the trip and return. “Be here
Thursday morning.”
“We will, judge,” said White, who
had no money to give bond.
The boy- was killed hist Thursday

a school bus. His 7-year-old sister
was seriously- injured.
RESOLE OF FARM
STUDY ANNOUNCED
Systematic Cropping Pays,
Says U, S. Bureau,
Indiana farmers who maintain a
more nearly uniform cropping sys
tfm from year to year are mor suc
cessful than those whose systems
vary from year to year, according
to a farm business study made of
100 farms in Clinton County by the
I'nited State Department of Agri
culture.
Heavily stocked farms, under good
management, were more successful
than those lightly stocked, the re
port shows. Farms stocked with
hogs were found t< be more profit
able than those on which other
classes of stock predominated.
One third of the land was found to
he in corn, one third in oats and
wheat and one fourth in clover and
timothy, on the better paying farms
a high percentage of the land was
In com.
Seventy-five per cent of the corn
raised was fed on the farms produc
ing it. while 75 p-r mu of the oats
and most of the wh* it was sold.
About 4(i per cent of the farms
were operated by- tenants, according
'
ants rented f<,r cash, most of them
paying grain rent.
BALLOTS TO BE STUDIED

rnissioners and political leaders is

Working Members of the S.A.T.U.
The Wor king Members of the Society of Amer
(f ndr! || * can Telephone Users are those who are em-
I MXJ/ ployed by the Active Members to provide the
service that makes it possible for a telephone
user to pick up his instrument, the emblem of
his society, and instantly begin communication
with any other member of that society.
The Working Members include all the institutions and in
dividuals who, tor pay, perform some service necessary to
the carrying out ot the purposes of the S. A. T. U. Among
them are the telephone girls, the security owners, the little
companies that conduct small exchanges, the large com
panies that finance and maintain hundreds of miles of toll
lines, the men who repair instruments and the scientists
who labor unceasingly in the laboratories to perfect these
instruments. All ot those who devote their working hours
to making telephone service a more valuable privilege
for the Active Members of the S. A. T. U. are Working
Members of that organization.
V/hen the telephone became a practical method of transmitting
the human voice, active members hired individuals to maintain
the service. Gradually the duties of the Working Members be
came so many and so varied that individuals could no longer
care for them.
Then, corporations were created better to serve the wants of tho
telephone users. Some of these co porations operate in one com
munity, some in far-distant territory. Still others perform sim
ilar tasks in all states, always for the benefit and at the direction
of tiie active members.
These various units of service, or divisions of ac
tive members , make possible the vast scope and
close co-ordination necessary to almost instant
enjoyment of a nation-wide service. Whenever an
Active Member picks up his telephone instrument
he calls into service the united effort of all these
divisions. Then , the telephone , the emblem of
his membership in the nation’s greatest society,
unlocks the entrance to the Society’s vast resources
and turns over to the individual member the un
trammelled use of facilities that have been co
® operatively accumulated for dozens of years.
One of these divisions of the Working Membership of the S. A* 1
T. U. is the Indiana Beil Telephone Company.
Next we will tell what part it takes in serving the S. A. TU .
