CORN CROP TO BE BELOW AVERAGE Crop To Fall Far Short Despite Benefit -Of Good Weather In September Lafayette, Ind., Oct. 13—Favorable ( weather In September added almost 11,000,000 bushels to the corn prospects for Indiana, but with the small acreage, the crop is still less than' two-thirds of an average crop, and the quality will not be good, according to a report issued today from the department of agricultural statistics of the Purdue agricultural experiment station. The preliminary (orjeast per acre is unchanged, but it is only about three-fouiths of the ten year agerage.' and the quality of the grain is 77 as compared with the ten year agerage 7 86. I The expectation of an excellent hay crop is confirmed by the preliminary estimates »f the yield, the increr-e over th • hrrcast running 238.000 t ns | The condition of soybeans declined it; Sept, in the south and west more than j enough to offset increases in the east and north, but prospects are sti'l materially better than last year. Potatoes appear slightly better than last nituih. the inciease In prospects amounting, to 148.000 bushels. The short fruit crop this season is proving difficult to estimate. Anplcs are" reported unchanged in the past month, nogrs seven oints higher and grapes three points lower. The production of peaches is better than the forecast, the increase totalling about 55.000 bushels. Far/n wages are practically unchanged from last year, with the average running $35 a month with board and SSO a month without board. Cows in milk on reporters' farms were 72.7 per cent, same as a ytar ago, and production per cow was 19.Mbs. compared to 18.3 pounds of milk last! year thin time. Creamery bitter produc- ( tion for August ran 5,681,000 pounds, over five per cent greater than the same time last year.

THE WRIGHT PLAYERS FORT WAYNE The Wright Players are now in full swing and enjoying a second success- j fill season at the Majestic Theatre, Foit Wayne. The newspapers this week have both been unanimous in their praise. The News-Sentinel, in its review of October 10th wrote as follows: "The Wright Players have a real laughing hit this week, made for laughs only and succeeding throughout.” "Briefly the tale is that of three husbands who. go on a “hunting trip” and whose wives find they are hunting ‘dears', and not 'deers'. The wives hire three college boys to make their! husbands jealous.’’ “ ‘Cradle Snatchers’ convulses the' house. It should appeal to Fort Wayne. j The Journal Gazette, in its review of, October 9th wrote as follows: "Mix three married ladies, past the the first blush of youth, with three I college boys .interested in easy money j and congenial work, and three average ' husbands whose tendency to wander a bit afield has spurml the wives to drastic action, ami you get a lot of laughter, painfully ludicrous situations and just a dash of a warning tucked into the end of a play. “ ‘Cradle Snatchers', the vehicle of the Wright players for this week at the Majestic, has all these ingredients well-mixed and produces a concoction with a prewar kick. It deals with the efforts of three wives of duck-hunting addicts to give their husbands a liberal dose of their own medicine.” ' "The entire cast from the husbands down to three flappers who appear at the end. manage to convey quite vfai-! istically a play Cvhich has convulsed Broadway and is doing the same thing ' to Calhoun street.” Next week's attraction will be “In The Next Room” a thrilling detecive play by Eleanor Robson, Harriet Ford ( both popular and well known authors.

GILLIUM SPEAKS AT SOUTH BEND ■ 1 Attorney General Makes Plea For Separation Os Church And State South Btfnd, Ind., Oct. 13.-—(INS) South Bend ministers who have lieen battling with Attorney General Ar- ■ thur L. G.lliom for several days today were digesting a plea for separation of church and state voiced by Gllliom last night in n discovery day address delivered before the local Knights of Columbus. Gilloni was a prominent local attorney when he was elected attorney general. "There is no more warrant for the church to undertake supervisory assumption of the governmental policy on the subject of prohibition than there would be for it to assume supervisory control of governmental policies relating to narcotics, fire-arms, motion pictures, automoiles or any other non-ecclesiastical subject,” GilHom said. “Religious emotion transferred from the sphere of the church to the sphere of temporal government always and inevitably produces intolerance, fanaticism and unreasonableness in state elections, state laws and in the administration of state laws, and citizens who are not enamored by the same relgious zeal that is made predominant in governmental affairs find their right to freedom and equally limited by an unwelcome tyranny.” i Gllliom charged that the antisaloon league is a hegemony using as a weapon the vote of members of “politicalized churches." He said that the state, not the church, is the body charged with enforcement of liquor laws. —, o ;— Card of Thanks We desil e in this manner to thank the friends and neighbors for their kindness and sympathy during the illness and death of our father.
