Examination of the settlers is also planned to prevent speculators from I obtaining government land for future ! real estate transactions An examination board will be appointed by Work to select settlers who are most adapted to farm life. Under present plans the prospective homesteader must have at least $2,000 capital, good health, and give character areferences. o __ . Breaks In State Roads Being Repaired Rapidly Indianapolis, Ind., April 3.—(Special). —While breaks in stone and gravel surfaced state roads have been more numerous this winter than in three years past, they are only for short distances and are responding rapidly to maintenance work, and with even a day or so of sunshine and absence of rain, all will soon be in fine shape. A. H. Hinkle, maintenance superintendent, declared in the state highway commission traffic bulletin issued today from the office of the director. j Hinkle explained that conditions ure' due to extreme thaws coming with heavy rains, and owing to the state's i diversified climate, thaws come earlier in southern than in northern Indiana. That no more serious breaks! are anticipated by road officials, i b evidenced In reports from district ; engineers who report some localities already past that stage.

INDIANA FORESTS FEW IN NUMBER State Forester Predicts Indiana Will Be Forestless State Soon Indianapolis. Ind.. April 3.—(United Press)- Indiana soon will be a forestless state, in the opinion of Charles , C. Deam. of Bluffton, state forester. j Deam pointed out that out of the 20 million acres of forests that once were Indiana's, only about one million acres now remain "At the present rate of timber cut- 1 ting and with practically no reproduction, very little timber will remain in a few years." the forester told the United Press. 1 nan effort to replenish the rapidly diminishing acreage of forest land, the Indiana conservation commission ofifcials are urging land owners to reforest their waste acreage. It was pointed out that such a step, will net the land owner a consider-' able revenue in the future, as the value of timber is increasing rapidly. Not only does the destruction of the ' timber worry lumber men, but fish and game enthusiasts are troubled. They see in the destruction of the timber a future extinction of wild life because of the lack of shelter. Forests, from tbe viewpoint, also safeguard the flow of springs, which form the source of many of the rivers. MARKET REPORTS Daily Report Os Local And Foreign Markets OPENING GRAIN REVIEW Chicago, April 3. —(United Press)— Grain prices opened irregular on the Chicago board of trade today. Wheat opened fractionally off in all but the May new delivery, which was 1-8 higher than the heavy close. The , slight declines at the openeing were for the most part unexpected in view of the fact that a better tone was prevalent in foreign markets before they closed for the Easter holidays. 'An increased demand from those points is expected to be enjoyed by the Chicago pit. The fact that Maynew was fractionally higher whereas the other futures were slightly off, was not at all surprising as most local operators look for most anything t 6 happen in this future The reason is that there are unusually light stocks of this future in store at present as well as concentrated holdings by exporters. Corn opened decidedly irregular. This market is showing a little better activity according to the considerable shutting off of receipts during the middlewest blizzard. t | Oats opened unchanged in the May and September deliveries and 1-8 off in the July. There is slightly improved export demand for this grain. — EAST BUFFALO LIVESTOCK Receipts 2400; shipments 3800; hogs closing slow; heavies sl2.ooji $12.75; mediums $12.75<b $13.75; light weight [email protected]; light lights and pigs, $14.00(0 $14.25; packing sows rough. $10.75(0 $11.00; cattle 450, slow; sheep 400; best lambs $14.25; best ewes [email protected]; calves 150; tops $14.00.

Criticism Os Jazz Called "Premature” By Music Professor Cambridge, Mass.. April 3. — (United Press)—Jazi music should not be criticized until time has tested its enduring power, in the opinion of Prof. Burlingame Hill, member of the Music department of Harvard University and one of America’s foremost composers. Snap-fire judgments being passed daily on modern music were descrilted as "premature'' by Prof. Hill, who said jazz might eventually find a lasting place in f lie world of music. "The world-wide influence of jazz and the keen appreciation of its qualities by European composers of note,” said Prof. Hill, “have stimulated discussion as to the posfbsle utilization of jazz style by serious American composers. "Dance forms have always played an important role in t-he history of instrumental music. The 18th cen- ■ tury suite consisted of contemporary dances. The minuet and waltz have entered the sanctuary of the symphony. and in chamber music the polka has figured. I "Symphonic or chamber music works may gain in piquancy from the inclusion of jazz style. Such work; do not please the lover of jazz be cause they seem artificial. The com i poser of jazz is balked in his ambition I to write ‘highUrow’ works because of technical inexperience in the lerger forms. “Since both the symphonic and the ' jazz composer are limited by their relative ignorance of the other’s field, it is questionable whether’hybrid works of distinction can be produced by either (or some time to come.” 0 — Shortage Os Horses Developing In U. S. According To Survey Chicago. April 2.—(United Press)— Despite the fact that “Old Dobbin" has been practically shunted off the boulevards where he formerly was quite the thing, the horse is still a potent factor in industrial activities, according to Wayne Dinsmore, secretary of the Horse Association of America, who recently made a survey of breeding farms in the United States. i “The prospects for profitable workhorse breeding are better now than '-ever." Dinsmore said. “Low prices for i the inferior grade of horse have tendl ed to cause the farmer to stop raising i them. Thus a shortage has developed I that will take care of all the good horses placed on the market.” Kentucky breeders of thoroughbreds have become rich, according to reports, in the sale of the colts for racing purposes. These same breeders this year placed on the market the largest crop of youngsters in the history of the Blue Grass state. According tx> the horse and multfceni sus of Jan. 1, 1925, horses have been reduced from 19.767,161 in 1920 to 16.535.759 in 1925, a, decrease of 16.3 per cent. j “This is a clear evidence of a shortJ age," Dinsmore said, “and there's a real outlet for ail good horses that the ■ farmer might raise at present," Q— Daily Democrat Want Ads Get Results »

Housing Conditions At Fort Harrison Not To Be Improved At Present ■ Indianapalfs, Ind.. April 3. —(United Press) —The prospect of immediate improvement in housing conditions at Fort Benjamin Harrison vanished today. Word was received from Washington that the war department had turned “thumbs gown" on the appeal of local legion posts for an emergency relief appropriation to better conditions. — The appeal was carried to the war department by Senators Watson and Robinson. Hanford Macnider. assistant secretary pt war, informed the two senators that the department will not support any legislation this year for construction of permanent buildings at the tort to replace war time shacks. Macnider pointed out that the fort is on the war department's program of permanent construction for relief which will be accomplished with funds from the sale of government land. ‘Abie’s Irish Rose” Coming To Fort Wayne Tlie increasing Interest noted in the orthcoming engagement of Anne Nichvis' perennial success. "Abies Irish Rose,” the comedy with a beautiful ove story, which begins an engagenent cf eight days, beginning Saturlay night of this week, with mat’nees on Easter Sunday, and Saturday, April loth, at the Majestic Theatre. Fort Wayne, leads the management to beieve Fort U'ayne will be another city idded to the long list of record-break-ng engagements which this perennial ittratcion has played, and which is no doubt due to its irresistab’.e appeal to al Iclasses, and especially to thoa; who appreciate clean, wholesome comady, projected with rapid-fire speed and precision at the target of one’s risible emotions, for this play is certainly one of speed, one screamingly hilarious complication following another so quickly as to give no pause o the roars of laughter, the scenes and biilliant dialogue evoke. The success of Utit comedy is the more -emarkab’e when one realizes the difficulty of exploiting racial and reigicus dlffetcnces and clashes, which lies in avoiding offensive material. Miss Nichols, who is the author of the play, as well as its producer, has accomplished this successfully in “Abie’s ifish Rose." wh’ch deals with he marriage between a Jewish youth, Abie Levy, son of a pinroud and intensely orthodox Hebrew, to the daughter, Rosemary Murphy, of a typical Irish aCtholic. This coup’e is narried three times in rapid succession th an effort to appease their raging and antagonistic fathers, these ceremonies being performed by a Methodist Minister, a Rabbi and a Priest. The fathers, however, refuse to accept venditions as they have developed. and the young "ouple are disowned. In the last act of the play everybody becomes reconciled, largely due to the efforts of the Rabbi and the ITiest, and the heart-clutching baby hands of Abie and Rosie’s first born. A simple enough story, though based on unusual lines of comedy situations so deftly constructed in dialogue and scene that offense is given to no one.
