It was said that certain members of the commission were! unaware that the local product | was banned. Ouly granite and ■ marble will be considered in the! bids for the base of the memorial, I specifications provided. "We do not claim that Indiana limestone should be used because! Vincennes is iu Indiana." Schorte-1 meier said, "hut we do believe that if an Indiana product is available at a fair figure and its use means a saving to the public there I is no justification for paying a' premium for something else.” Schortemeier branded the ban 1 on the Indiana stone as "an affront against the Indiana limestone busi-j nqss, one of the leading occupations of the state.” He contended . that since the product is shipped to many parts of the country for memorial purposes, the state w here 1 it Is quarried should at least consider it in construction of such a j prominent memorial. Dr. C. B. Coleman, secretary of i the George Rogers Clark commis-’ sion, denied that there had been discrimination against Indian a limestone. Limestone interests have an equal opportunity with ' other concerns under specifica-i tions providing for alternate bids,' he said, adding that he had been advised by contractors that gran-, its should be used for parts of the' memorial subject to weathering, i 0 Sh.-rk’s Companion The largest- man-ealmg sharks ! sometimes attain a length of :»!• t« 40 feet.

BEET FACTORY MAY RE-OPEN I (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) Would Eliminate Duplication , l’y doing away with duplication lof plant and man power, reducing ; overhead expense ami eliminating I some unnecessary factories to in-1 crease acreage for plants in most strategic positions, it is represent-' , ed that the industry would trim its sails better to withstand economic j adversities. | The plan contemplates acquisi-, pion of the assets of insolvent tom-' | panics now in receivership, includI ing the Columbia Sugar company; ! and tlie Holland-St. Louis Sugar I company in this area, whose plants’ | are being operated this year by ’ I leasing concerns. Growing conditions for sugar beets in this section have been in sti favorable and the crop has come! through thus far to give promise I iof the largest yield in years. Early! prospects are brigh't for runs of 90’ days’ duration for the St. Pleasant and St. Louis mills in the mall slic- i ing campaign. Expect to Show Profit Obtaining their labor this year i virtually without expense, guarani teeing considerably less per ton to 1 growers for beets than was the case last year and retrenching in every department of activity, the operating companies have a good chance to come through with a favorable financial margin despite the low price of sugar. Michigan State college extension workers are interested in a plan of 1 the Grdat Lakes Sugar company, i leasing the St. Louis and Bliss- ! field factories to perfect organizaI lions of beet growers to give the , farmers entire control of the pro ! cesses by which the raw material I for the factories is produced and j delivered. By this plan the co-op ■ erative organizations would write

t ture ot them alone. Phillips says "McManus’ hands have fascinated me ever since he began sitting for his portrait. They give me a feeling of power." The painting of McManus between artist and cartoonist in New York certainly looks real, what?

The damage estimate remain'd at upward of $10,000,000. The I catastrophe was the worst fire • here iu the last 10 years. The fee v steamer Empress was ! sunk at her berth to prevent spread of flames to craft at nearI by docks. Railway property sufficed exteni sive damage. Firemen were he'p- , less before the flames, which were | fanned by a stiff wind from th" i northwest. At least 10 residences ■ in west St. John were destroyed. Cause of tlie fire was undetermined. j Atlantic City, N.J., June 23 -fij R) — A night club, a bathhouse, and j a dozen other buildings were in i ruins today after a fire which i caused injuries to seven persons / and threatened for a time to wipe I out an entire Hock in the b*ardi walk section. Damage was est.i '; mated at $500,000. Q , Wales Observes 37th Birthday; Still Single ’ London, .June 23 —(U.R) —■ Tlq ! Prince of Wales observed his 37th | birtliday today, still unmarried. i For nearly 20 y'-ays. ever since • | the Prince approached a marrying ■: )ige, public opinion has expected i him to wed. Almost every eligible • girl in the world has been sug - gested as his bride. He has turn i : ed them all down, and today is as 1 > tar from married bliss as he evet was. 5 From sources close to the roya!

1 court, the United Press nnderf stands there is growing concern! s about the Prince's apparent lack of interest in marriage. Briefly, the situation is •this; King George is 66 years old. Part-1 , ly due to his age and partly to! ' illness he can no longer take the active interest in affairs of state! I that he once did. There is con-, siderable opinion that the time is! not so very far distant when the I British throne will be vacant. The question is, will the Prince j of Whies become King? It is 5 . well-known that he is not very I ' fond of the idea, although all his. • life has been devoted to the idea! | that one day he must become a! ruler. The .British constitution '• does not provide that the King. ! must marry, but there is an un " written law that he should do so. "i if only to carry on, the line of! !• i succession. '•( Ooservers believe that if the! Prince is every going to marry it! must be soon biecausd he is very I !> near the dividing line between II voutli and middle-age. and because 'U it would be a matter of policy toj ■ mount the throne accompanied by ! H | a Queen. On the other hand tlwre is a' 1 fairly large section of the public ’■ that Is convinced the Prince will! ■ never marry and will never become I | King. With absolutely no official! , basis for its theories, it believes j e j that when the time comes the ! Prince will abdicate in favor of! 'his brother, the Duke of York. h| 0 Mrs. Hamilton’s Long Life Elizabeth Schuyler Hamilton, K wife of Alexander Hamilton, lived d i from 1757 to 1854, a period of 97 e .vein's.

M $ | COUNTY AGENT’S COLUMN st w Spraying Boosts Yield of Potatoes Potato insects may be effectively controlled and yields greatly increased by spraying or dusting, according to H. K. Riley of the Purdue Department of Entomology who is conducting investigations on f the control of vegetable crop insects in Northern Indiana. Results of tests conducted last ■ year show that sipraying or dusting l-for the control of potato insects,l I especially the leaf hopper, is de- : eideilly profitable. The average I yield of all treated plots was 62 ! bushel per acre greater than the , i average yield of untreated check plot*. The cost of treatment was | I approximately 11 dollars per acre i ; for 4 applications. Girge acreages I l require power or traction sprayers, or dusters. but hand-otperaP'd equipment is effective where the* I acreage is small. For spraying a 4-6-50 Bordeaux I mixture should be used, adding; ■; arsenate of lead at the rate of 1 ■and % pounds to 50 gallons. Care, l should be taken to cover both up-; per and lower leaf surfaces with j I the spray. The first application! ‘ should be made when plants are 6! Ito 8 inches high and repeated! I every 10 days or 2 weeks for 1 or 2 additional applications iu order! i to keep a covering of the insecti-: j < ides ou new growth. I In dusting use a 25% copper i lime dust which can be secured ; from insecticide dealers. A poisoned copper lime dust should be I i used when beetles are present.! i Application should be made while i dew is still on the foliage. Sprays; ! should be applied at the rate of; 100 gallons per acre for the first | application, increasing the amount to 150 gallons for later applications. The first dusting should be at the rate of 25 pounds per acre! and 30 to 35 pounds thereafter. Sprays Help Protect Cattle From Flies Hot weather and poor pasture at this time of year both help to cut down production in the dairy herd, but another factor of prime importance, flies, the tormentors of cows, can be largely eliminated by practical means, according to J. J. Davis, department of entomology of Purdue. The results of numerous tests by the Purdue department <?f entomology, show that cows fepray- ! ed with the more effective materI ials are efficiently protected from I liting fly attack for a period of | one day; sprayed cows axe inark- | edly quieter, less nervous, graze I more peaceably and stand more ' quietly at milking than unsprayed , cows. When one application per day is made, the most effective I plan is to make the application immediately following the morning I milking. Sprays containing an j odorous substance are more effee j live than odorless mixtures. Careful, thorough applications of ! the spray in the form of a fine , mist so all .parts of the animals' bodies, including the under parts i pud legs, each day throughout the i season show the most satisfactory I control. There are several good ■, fly sprays on the market, A good ! home made spray is made by mix- ' ing one pint of oil of tar with one ' gallon of used crank case oil. The most satisfactory sprayer to apply , the spray Is the compressed air ! type obtainable at most stores : handling spray supplies. o II POISON CASE PROBE REVEALS NEW EVIDENCE l!
