MANY COUNTIES ENTER CONTEST Large Enrollment in FiveAcre Corn Contest in Indiana This Year Lafayette. Ind., July 17—Fiftyeight counties in Indiana have been enrolled in the five-acre corn contest for 1922, with an approximate enrollment of 950 members, according to R. S. Thomas of the soils and crops staff of Purdue University, who has charge of the contest. This large enrollment has been made possible by the co-operative efforts of the Five-Acre Committee of the Indiana Corn Growers’ Association, and the different local organizations. The two requirements for entrance to the contest are, that each person becomes a member of the Corn Growers’ Association prior to June 15, and that each keep a complete labor record of the entire field in which the FiveAcre plot is located. Each Five-Acre contestant should be supplied with a record sheet for this purpose.

j Although some contestants have I been discouraged by chinch bug in I jury, sectional drought, etc., the corn I plots over the state are looking exI ceptlonally good and prospects are | bright for increased yields this fall. . I The slogan of the work is ‘‘Higher ! Yields and More Economic Production.” The Indiana Corn Growers' Association again will give three medals ’to contestants producing meritorious yields. Seventy-five to eighty-five bushels per acre, on an area of five ' acres, will win a bronze medal; eighty-five to 100 bushels per acre, a silver medal, and 100 bushels or over per acre, a gold medal and membership in the 100 bushel corn club. These medals are suspended to a black ribbon watch-fob bearing the seal of the association on the front side, with the engraved name and yield on the reverse side. o POSTOFFICE WARNS AGAINST BOGUS MONEY ORDERS NOW BEING CIRCULATED Merchants are asked to show discretion in the cashing of money orders.

PROPOSE PEACE MEETING PUN Seek to Settle Nation Wi'Je Coal Strike Without Use of Force Washington. July 17.—(Special to Daily Democrat)—A movement to settle the nation wide mine strike in a bi-partisan conference of miners and operators, without government parti clpation, is definitely under way, it was learned officially here today. A formal proposal for such a peace meeting may he made within the week by mine leaders. Reports to the labor department indicate that about 69 or 79 operators, representing a considerable percentage cf th* tonnage of the coal fields favor his plan, which was used in the past to settle mine disputes. President Harding's threat to seize he mines was said to be swinging >ther operators to support of the proposal. With the situation throughout the ountry becoming more menacing each I ay because of the rail and mine tie-' ps, the federal fovernment continued oday its desperate effort to find a so-1 ution. President Harding, realizing that e is facing the gravest crisis of his dministration is devoting all his tirin' o the problem. The President early today conferred ,-fth Secretary of Commerce Hoover, nd then Harding. Hoover and A. M. igle, head of the National Coal Asociation and leader of the operators' lined in a conference. ■ By Janies T. Kolbert I nlted Pre** Staff ('orrrMpondent Washington, July 17. —(Special to •ally Democrat) —Whether the United fates army will be ordered to intercne in rail and coal strikes will be deided today when President Harding nd Secretary Weeks confer at the ,’hite House. Official reports from an inspector eneral sent to Denison, Texas, where lisorders are said to have occured are efore the president. Certain members of the cabinet are eported to favor force unless direct egotiations can be instituted. Meanwhile sentiment is gaining trength for direct conferences beween operators and miners to settle heir differences without government itervention. Miners’ leaders are prepared and filing to meet the employers. The roup of operators which for some ■me has advocated conferences is alning strength it was learned today, 'he miners will negotiate with the perators when the latter group gains nough recruits to arrange a settlelent for a representative section of he union coal fields. This was the only hopeful ray of eace today in the otherwise menacing ituation caused by the rail and coal trikes. The mine strike is now in its ixteenth week while the strike of rail•ay shopmen has been on 17 days. The next move of the federal govrnment in the critical situation was eing framed today by president Hardig. It is known that he would be dad to see the miners and operators et together in a conference without overnmental intervention and settle heir differences. The operators are aid to be swinging towards this plan ’ecause of the threat of the president o seize their mines unless the dispute s soon settled.

SPORLJBS SOX PLAYING SMART BALL The White Sox were consigned to the cellar by the exports at the start of the season and they remained there about until six weeks ago when the Yale Hose realized that their "old man" wasn't kidding them when he told them they were good. They're battling for the pennant now. five games out of first place and right on the heels of the faltering New York Yanks. They're up there because the kid patted them along encouraging his young pitchers and allowed Ray Schalk, Eddie Collins. Harry Hooper and Red Faber to educate the youngsters in smart baseball. Perhaps the Sox will not win the pennant, but they’ll furnish excitement all the way. They are playing the smartest baseball in the big lea gues and they're the biggest upset of the year.
