In order to be certified by representai tives of Purdue University the wheat must have not more than 1 per cent of mixture of other varieties in it, . must have not more than one-h.qjf per ; cent of loose smut, no stinking smut, no weeds, cheat or rye and must be a variety which is known to give good results under Indiana conditions. The wheat is examined by men from Purdue while in head. Some are getting Malakoff, a small, ■ red, hard wheat, of good milling qualities which as a rule commands a better price. The particular seed wheat in question tested sixty-two, yielded above other wheat in the neighborhood and is -- vprv reasonably. Anyone interested should ask county agent for further particulars. It is estimated that there will be about the same amount of wheat sowed this year as last.

High Bill Complaints • Whenever a consumer complains to us that a bill is higher than he thinks it should be, we gladly inspect the meter. Experience shows that a very small percentage of meters run fast, and that, as a rule, it is merely a question of finding out how and where the gas was used. However, should the test show that the meter is at fault, we always stand ready to make a suitable adjustment on the bill. a Save Your Coal Pile Nothing can prevent a shortage of coal this winter—install a Radiant tire heater and save your coal pile. Just the thing for chilly mornings and cool evenings. No matter how Old Boreas roars outside, at the mere touch of a match you can start a strong, wholesome heat which, in a few minutes, will make the room as warm and cozy as Palm Beach.
