There is a good deal of land that in one way or another is involved in indebtedness. Some of it may be had on most advantageous terms. Certainly it will never be lower if farm prices of farm products improve further. or even are Jfi ig maintained at somewhere near their present level. The outlook for some years is favorable. Just about everybody agrees in regard to that. S Land is a bargain when it can be bought at the low point and just before a rise in prices sets in. If conditions develop as they promise to, this is the time for the youngjc man or the renter to set sail for land ownership. $ ffi We are equipped to assist in closing land deals where additional funds are needed, on good mortgage security, p at a very low rate of interest and on a partial payment plan that is drawn in favor of the borrower. yj p ' ‘ YOU WILL RECEIVE A HEARTY WELCOME AT OUR OFFICE. $ ; THE SUTTLES-EDWARDS CO.

Nov.* 21 —The practice of officers of the law not in uniform making arrests of motorists for violations or alleged violations of the motor vehicle law in Indiana was condemned by the directors of the Hoosier State Auto Association, in session at the Hotel, gnglish. Wed-

nksduy afternoon. Steps were tak | eif, through the authorization of B.' W Steinhart, president to appoint a committee to tlovlse a plan which will bo practicable and in no way Interfere with the rights of any citizen. The committee report will be acted upon by the directors of the motor body at a later date with a view of bringing relief to the motorists of the state. The reports of experiences received by the state nssoclatlo nhave brought about u definite stand by the directors at this time "rttir directors," said Mr. Steinhart •have previously taken a similar stand but in their opinion the time has come in the State of Indiana when aq arrest or any interference with the motorist should be only by an officer in uniform." "Tills crystallization of opinion hatbeen brought, about by repeated ex periences from year to year wherein officers have stopped or attempted to stop a motorist and the appearance of th eofficer was such that the motorist had no way of knowing if he was an officer. "The situation, as ft exists today, is a bad thing for both the officer and the motorist. It breaks down the re sped of law and makes the enforcement of traffic regulations more difficult. it also leads to abuses of the law. , x ■." flip Hoosier State Auto Association is concerned particularly with the protection and the rights of the motorists, it is not our intention to direct an attack on any individual law enforcement agency but wo believe that the fairminded citizens of our state realize the necessity for a I correction of present practices, anti if it is at all possible, we shall Insist on the uniforming of all officers who 1 make arrests of motorists on our public highways. Slate Makes Profit Off Small Forest Area Indiahapolis, lnd„ Nov. 21. t Special!—Pointing to a profit made off timber cut from a small forest area owned by the state anil known as the Clark County Forest, under conditions' presenting handicaps because about ' the same expense was incurred that coWd equally have.cared for timber | on a much larger reserve. Charles C. Deam, state forester under Hie ■ conservation department, raises the' question, “why not more state forests I. in order to assure Indiana a perpetual ■

source of Income 7" Mr. Deam explains that the iaiger timber from this area of 3,600 acres was removed in 1007 and 100 S. and that email cuttings art! being made each year from second growth. About 100 acres were cut over this season, and black mid scarlet oaks fashioned Into cross ties. Cuttings yielded 16 to IS ties per acre ami were niurkctod at a net profit to the slate of about fifty cents per tie. In Hie opinion of Mr. Deam and other consorviilionista, the state should own several thousand acres of forest land ami produce limber the same as an In dividual operates a farm and produces crops. It is unreasonable to contend that the Individual will he satisfied with raising timber on land suited* to agriculture, because the timber crop is too slow. But foresters declare that the state can make a splendid investment by buying at small cost, the idle and unfertile lands unsuited to agriculture, and producing thereon large quiftititles of the mqtli needed timber for which the whole nation stands in cry-1 ing need. I Deam points tint that the state for I ost Is situated in a country where only smaller agriculture projects are under way. The land actually devoted (o’ forest production is extremely scabrous and never could bo farmed profitably. There is a vast acreage all along the Ohio River Valley similar in topography. that now lies idle. If the state owned this land, and it can be I obtained at small cost, it should be planted to forests ami in the course of a few"years a steady Income would be derived, for much'of tills land already contains some timber that soon G.
