TRAIN TOO LONG Three Cars on Clover Leaf Freight Couldn’t Get on the Siding. A SECOND FREIGHT Ran Into Them and Derailed Them — Passenger Train Detours. A west bound freight on the Clover Leaf tried to run onto the siding at Peterson about eleven o'clock this morning io let the eastbound freight pass. The one on the siding was so long that it couldn’t get its length all on the sidetrack, hence an oil tank and two cars filled with piping that extended onto the main track were run into by the eastbound reight. The three cars were derailed and the engine of the freight, that ran into Ithem was somewhat damaged. It -was necessary to call the wreck train out to lift the cars on again, and in the meantime passenger and mail trains number three, wst bound, detoured. changing over the G. R. & lin this city to the Erie and around to the Clover Leaf again. — 0 - ON GRADING WHEAT Indianapolis, July 25 —It will be considered an unfair practice for buyers of wheit to place, intentionally, a lower grade on wheat than that to which it is entitled under the federal standard. Notice to this effect was received by Dr. Harry E. Barnard, federal food administrator for Indiana, from the U. S. Grain Corporation today. Protests had been received by the food administration and the State Council of Defense, that buyers in some instances, were endeavoring to buy wheat below its real value through an inferior grading. The grain corporation says it will not be an unfair practice to pay th? basic number one price on wheat even if*the wheat grades lower. | Conviction for unfair practice carries a| penalty of forfeiture of license, which means elimination from busijness, and, Dr, Barnard requests that

< ail such attempts to deprive the wheal i jflrower of the price to which he Is honestly entitles! Under the regulations, V (reported to him at once.ft o 1 HAD LONG AUTO TRIP , Mr. and Mrs. C. L.

RCXI'HEAIKE IA FAIR DEAL FOR EVERYOHE The Fuel Administration is strongly urging the peoI pie to lay in their supply of coal as early as possible and to I fill up their bins while the tilling is good, as they may not H be able* to buy coal when winter comes. The coal dealers are also urged to stock up their yards ■ with coal during the summer months. In the winter months the railroads will be crowded with rushing troops, supplies, coal and foodstuff to tide-water muntion plants, and our allies and the government is giving us due warning of these facts now. The retail dealers are compelled to pay spot cash tor the coal they buy, also freight, expense of delivery, labor and every item that goes to carry on their business in cash. We find that there are a number of persons whose coal bills for 1917 and prior have not yet been paid. Such persons can arrange with the dealer to whom their account is due a satisfactory arrangement to obtain their supply of coal for 1918. But this office does hereby order that no coal dealer shall deliver to any person his coal until such persons knowing themselves to be indebted for coal shall first see the parties to whom they are indebted before ordering their winter supply from some one of the other dealers. We want every one to have coal but let us be lair with | the dealers who worked unceasingly last winter to keep us from freezing. C. E. BEL L, I Fuel Administrator for Adams County.

Per Cent Liberty Loan Anticipation U. S. CERTIFICATION OF INDEBTEDNESS DATED JUNE 25, 1918 DUE OCTOBER 24, 1918 The Banks of this country have been called upon by the Treasury Department of the U. S.
