Cows going to school

TESTER

Secured for Franklin County

Cow Testing Association --

Work to Begin This Week.

The Franklin County Cow Testing Association which has been organized for some time, but delayed for lack of an available tester, will probably start operation the last of this week.

Miss Bruce of Aurora, Indiana, has been obtained by the State Dairy Department to do the work for this association. (Her name was Irma.)

Miss Bruce comes from a dairy farm where she has made a hand with her father's herd, not only helping to feed and milk, but testing and keeping record on each cow just as she will do in this association. She is probably as well equipped for a tester as any girl in this kind of work.

She will start with Mr. J.A. Driscol's herd, northeast of Fairfield, and proceed from one herd to the next according to a schedule arranged by the Board of Directors at the last meeting. This schedule is being mailed to each member. 

Note: John A. Driscol lived in Union County, since his daughter Mary attended College Corner school. He raised Jersey cows. He also owned land in Bath. (Yes, we found that information.)

No Further Celebration

After careful consideration, the County Council of Defense decided not to arrange for a Peace Celebration Saturday evening as had been contemplated. The celebration Monday was as largely attended and so hearty that it was judged unnecessary to hold another at this time.

A Card

The triangular contest for Township Trustee of Fairfield township was decided by the ballots of the voters.

The undersigned is under obligation to the Democrats and the Republicans who gave him their support.

In the management of the office, I shall endeavor to conduct it as non-partisan as Hezzie Rose, my Republican predecessor.
