Ijiyfayette, Ind., May 18. —More than 150,000 hens are entered in the slate wide egg record project which is being carried on again this year by the Purdue University Extension Depart inent in cooperation witli County Agricultural agents and farmers asst iations. A total of 1.5G6 farmers have their flocks entered, this number extending to 42 counties in the state. Frown county has stepped to the front in this event with 88 entries. Switzerland is second with 74. Harrison and F. lton counties .each have 71 farm fl< ■ks entered. DeKalb 70 and Kosluscko, 60. This is the third year for the contest and shows an increase in numbers of nearly 50.000 hens. It started in most counties on March 1 and will continue for one year. Those who enter the contest are compelled to give the kind and size of the poultry flocks kept, keep dailly record of the eggs gathered, count their hens once a month and report to the county agent monthly.. They are cooperating in a well organized way to better their poultry methods. Flocks with loss than 50 hens are not accepted for the contest and they must be on farms cf 20 acres or more, so that they repress nt the average Indiana farm flock. "The first two years of this contest have shown its value as an educational factor in poultry keeping.” says L. [ I- Jones of the Poultry Extension Staff of Purdue who has charge of the w, rk. "We have found that those who had fllocks entered last year or th 6 year before have adopted better feeding methods and principles of management which will help them j succeed with poultry. A large numbcr of the cooperators who have been; in two years have succeded in bring-1 in" up the average production of their h< ns from 10 to 30 eggs per hen per year. Many of the farmers have obtained striking results with their blocks throught the application of the information they have gathered while - in the contest.” — • WANT AD3 EARN—I—S—J

May 18 —Consolidation rumors and denials kept steel stix'ks in an excited state on the New York stock exchange today in the first hour Midvale broke to 42% on the statement that there hud been no negotiations for its acquirements by Bethlehem but the stock quickly recovered most of its loss from the opening price of 44. Activitiy in Crucible, Vanadian, Replogle and Gulf i States was based on talk of a combine involving these companies which appeared to have little foundation. General Motors was actively bought on information tiiat the company has already earned the full year's dividend revuirements on the preferred issues and would probably show $2.50 for the common stock this year. General Motors is expected to be free, of bank loans by July 1. Sales to 11 a. m. were stocks 381.000 shares, bonds $3,022,000. Heavy buying orders accumulated over night as a result of the buoyant demonstrations of Wednesday's last hour and the whole list on the New York stock exchange today opened j strong. Copper and Steels were still the ■ favorites. Midvale opened unchanged at 44. Steel Common gained % to 99%, and Vanadium moved up 1% to 52%. Representative issues of the copper group reached the highest price of the year. American Smelting was guoted at 54%; Utah 98; Chile 21% and Chine at 31.

Copper at 13% gave renewed stimulus to shares of producing companies during the third hour. American Smelting made new high on the move at 66 and other active issues of the group advanced correspondingly. The general list was somewhat reactionary and recessions of a point and more from morning highs took place in the speculative leaders but the market as a whole reflected no special pressure, continued to fluctuate erratically.

PRESENT RATE FOR WATER TO BE CONTINUED (Continued from page one) I 2 inch ... .7777?????,. ,W. 77? 3- 12.00 4- .. 15.00 Mr. Longltry criticised to some extent the kind ot books or records kept by the city of Decntur, untl recommended tlwv installing of n system of books as approved by the commission. As fur as known a system of books as favored by the commission would cost considerable to operate, requiring the services of several bookkeepers, and would to a groat extent consist of tho tabulating of detail and red tape. Tho books as kept now show in a concise way the earnings of the plant and Mayor I'eVoss expressed tho opinion that he believed the present system was adequate, in that the state board of accounts found no trouble with them and were able to make their annua) checkup each year. In that Mr. Loughry merely recommended the installing of this cost finding system and that the commission does not demand it, it is not likely that the extra books will be installed or the additional expense added to tho city’s pay roll.

The commission also sent a copy cf the auditor's report to the city clerk. With the exception of the amount of the net earnings or net revenue of the electric light and water departments, the figures cor responded with those in the report” made by Superintendents Mylott and liarruff, but the auditors findings cf the net revenue of the two departments were several thousand dollars higher than those shown by the city audit. However the auditor’s did not show in their report the listing of a depreciation charge nor did they take in consideration the charge for inter(st on the municipal plants earnings A few recommendations were made by the auditors in their report and where possible these will be carried out. Mr. Loughry concluded his letter liy saying that in view of the fact that no changes were made in the present rates, that no direct charge would be made to the city for the services rendered by the auditors they being paid by the state or out o’ the funds allotted to the Public Ser vice commission.

—c.— 3RYAN CANNOT BE MODERATOR OF PRESBYTERIANS Dos Moines, lowa, May IS. —The moderator (or president) of the Presbyterian General Assembly which ipens its sessions here tomorrow, must he chosen from the actual membership >f the Assembly. This membership •onsists of about 1.600 Commissioners rom the 302 presbyteries of the Unit'd States. This fact sets at rest a umor that has gained headway that William Jennings Bryan is slated to >e moderator. Bryan is at present a ’resbyterian eider in the Synod of ’lorida. The official returns of Comnissioners elested from Florida show hat lie is not a delegate. Therefor Iryan is not a Commissioner and canlot be elected moderator. Dr. Lewis S. Mudge, state clerk, is n charge of all tho detainled arrangenents for General Assembly and will lersonally look after all the executive letails of tile session. Dr. William Oxley Thompson, of 'oiumb.is, Ohio, president of Ohio Itate University, is to be pressed by lis friends to stand for moderator. )r. Thompson is a duly elected repreontative from Columbus, in company vitli Dr. William M.. Jennings and ’iders Andrew Timberman and C. F. foung. Already there is speculation as* to he city that will win the Presbyterian General Assembly in 1923. It is under.food that Atlantic City and Indiana>olis will present invitations, backed >y strong inducements. The historic opening of tho Central \ssembly includes the official sermon >y the retiring moderator, who this /ear is Dr. Henry Chapman Swearngen, pastor of the House of Hope ’resbyterian church, St. Paul. The tctual business will begin at !:30 p. m. Thursday, May 18, with the dection of moderator and the selecion of standing committees. A public reception to Commissioners and visitors, under the direction of ocal committees, will be held at Hotel '•"ort Des Moines Thursday afternoon. NO KICK ON GAS FOR MOTOR CAR; BUT FOR GAS STOVE—OH! Tho price for gasoline increases onstantly—but no one hoars of a man lolling his car because of the pri-o ot gasoline. It's cheaper to walk, but nighty few men walk who can afford i car, and gasoline will have to go a ot higher before any one will quit usng a car because he can't afford to ide. An automobile costs many times

.he price of a gas range, and the monthly gas bill is but as a drop in the bucket compared to the upkeep >f a car, in addition to the high price of gasoline. Think of the repairs and the tires and the inner tubes, .and the thousand and one things for which you have to spend money on your car, and then think of your dependable little old gas range, on the job three times a day every day in the year, of the comfort and satisfaction it brings, and then think of the fuss you sometimes make about the gass bill. No one place you put your money brings so great results in comfort and labor saving as does the gas bill; and yet some pay that bill reluctantly,, ,and complain every month at its size. Consider what gas does for you and your household, and compare it price with any other of your expenses, and your opinion of your gas bill may improve.

try it. I feel first-rate at the present time. It has done wonders for me and I keep it in the house right along. I always recommend it to others who are sick and ailing.”—Mrs. J. M. Sibbekt, 4032 High St., Everett, Washington. To do any kind of work, or to play for that matter, is next to impossible if you are suffering from some form of female trouble. It may cause your back or your legs to ache, it may make you nervous and irritable. You may be able to keep up and around, but you do not feel good. Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound is a medicine for women. It is especially adapted to relieve the cause of the trouble and then these annoying pains, aches and “no good ” feelings disappear. It has done this for many, many women: why not give it a fair trial—now.
