his fourth and final year at the In
stitution, while the Stock brothers
are entering for their first year.
1. G. Hornbeck recently planted
some Chinese elms along his property
and was well pleased with their
growth, counting on their some day
developing into stately trees. How
ever, someone has cut the top out of
one of them, practically destroying
it. This is very disappointing, as a
replacement tree will not be of the
same size as the others, destroying
the symetry of appearance.
James Boyd, who operates the
cream and produce station here, has
moved his family to Murdock from
Wabash, where they have been re
siding and will no longer have to
drive back and forth to and from his
work. They will occupy the rear por
tion of the store building in which
he has his produce station. All the
available residence properties in the
town are occupied, which speaks well
for Murdock as a desirable place in
which to live.

tion of a Wind Charger. This new
machine, which brings the benefits
of electricity to homes far removed
from the power lines and uses only
the free air to do it, is being sold In
greatly increasing numbers, and is
made in sizes adequate to service
