It is believed that the epidemic of incendiary fires in the northwestern 1 section of Indianapolis has come to an end with the arrest of Eugene Wei - ster Henry, colored, who has confessed to having set fire to more than twenty sheds and barns in the vicinity of West 17th street. “Every time I drink whiskey I want excitement," says Henry. "I started the first fire about six months ago. Sim e then i have set fire to about twenty barns and sheds, but have never set fire to a house.” Sweet potatoes, beets, squash, cab bage. okra, pepper, eggplant, string beans, lima beans, sweet corn and cucumbers still may be planted in this section (marked Zone C on the Depaitment’s zone planting map for vegetables,) say specialists of the United States Department of Agriculture. / These vegetables may be grown in ground occupied by early maturing crops such as peas. kale, early cabbage spinach and radishes. There is ample time for sweet potatoes to mature, and there is no better way to add to the winter food stock of the family than by growing this root crop. Lalp cabbage is another profitable crop to grow for winter use. Beets, squash, cucumbers and the other vegetables mentioned may be planted now with good chances of success.

They are: Sam Nussbaum, of Berne, president; W. I’. Seifert, of Garrett, vice president; R. Keller, of Fort Wayne, treasurer and George Kihm,
