All the seeds germinate, grow, and ripen evenly. An even, heavy crop invariably is the result. And the extra yield more than pays for your work of seeding carefully with a drill. McCormick-Deering Grain Drills are the result of one-hundred years of manufacturing and engineering experience.

EVERETT CASE RESIGNS POST —Everett N. Case, basketball coach at Anderson high school for two years, presented his resignation to the new five-member school board here last night. His removal accomplished one of the objectives for which more than 1.000 high school sutdents went on strike two weeks ago. Case was partially blamed by the students for conditions which led to Anderson's suspension from the Indiana high school athletic association. A citizens’ committee investigating alleged irregularities after the suspension, recommended Case's resignation. Two other city school officials, principal J. L. Thalman of the high school and W, A, Denny, superintendent of schools for a Quarter of a century, resigned Thursday. Classes in all city schools will be resumed Monday under order of the new school board. o — CUT EXPENSES AT HOSPITAL CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE ail other economies be practiced hat are possible and yet keep up the high standard of the institution."

RESERVE BANKS START ISSUING NEW CURRENCY CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE ♦» » « layed simply because its applicaition is farther down on the list. Federal reserve member banks 1 must satisfy the treasury that they are "sound going institutions" before their applications will be approved, Secretary of Treasury Woodin announced. He authorized state banking commissioners to approve reopenings of state hanks and cautioned them that he expected them to adhere to this same principle. Secretary Woodin indicated that reserve system member bank which I reopen must open up 100 per cent. I This was taken to mean that they (must abandon the percentage withdrawal restrictions which many 'banks invoked before the holiday. To give the banks time to obtain additional currency before reopening. the 12 central federal reserve I banks and their branches were I ordered to open today and begin advancing the new currency authorized under the banking bill passed Thursday. Bales of the crisp new money already have been rushed to the reserve* banks from the bureau of engraving and printing here. Every hour of the day and night the | presses are turning out additional millions of dollars worth. Federal reserve member banks immediately can convert virtually all of their‘sound assets into this currency. They can get SIOO of currency for every slon of government obligations which they desire to pledge with the reserve banks. They can obtain S9O or currency for every SIOO of other sound collateral. Pending reopening of the banks for full normal business, officials emphasized they can continue to release funds for payrolbs, food, medicine, an d other necessary household expenses as previously authorized. Admiaistration officials felt gratified at the spirit in which many banks were taking advantage of these authorizations and easing the inconvenience 01 tho holiday on the public. Officials were gratified at indications of public cooperation in meeting the emergency. They noted with satisfaction that millions of dollarsw orth of gold was being returned to banks and .postoffices. Thousands of persons stood in line in New York, Chicago, and other places to turn in hoarded bullion and gold pieces. As banks rcopon they will be under injunction to rebase no funds for hoarding Evidence of any hoarding will be relayed to the justice department. Attorney Goneral jCummings indicated the de[>artment 1 would be prepared to institute viglorous action against any who violated terms of the president's banking decrees. The emergency banking act provides a SIO,OOO fine or two years iniprisonnient for violators. j To facilitate the mechanical process of handling applications tor reopening, all state and national banks which arc members at the federal reserve system have been directed to tilo tlioir roQuesls with their federal reserve banks. The aapplicatkms then are relayed to 1 lie treasury, which has up-to-tbe-miniitc reports on the condition of all member lianks. Because Hie treasury lacks data on non-niemlier state banks, Secretary Woodin has authorized the 48 I state banking siiperiutendeiits to direct the reopening of this class 'of institutions. •' The policy which will govern tho

reopenings was laid down by Wood- i lin as follows: i "It is the intention of the secrc- ■ 'tary of the treasury to permit nob (federal reserve) member bank to j reopen at any time on a full 100 ' per cent basis unless or until the •secretary is satisfied that such I bank is a sound going institution. I “Any member bank not clearly < within this category will not ‘be opened unless or until further investigation discloses that it is a sound going institution or unless or until a reorganization of some character will permit the bank to ’ be classed as a sound going insti- < tution * * * t “It 1b to be expected that the , state superintendents in granting t license will take under consideriatiou in determining their own pol- j [icy the general principle to be ad- ( opted by the treasuiy as respects , member banks, that in the inter- ( ests of the depositors and of the ( country as a whole only sound institutions will be permitted to , carry on all of their usual functions | to the end that no bank shall be reopened for business on any basis that will run the risk of being forced to close again because of de- ' mands which it is not in a position to satisfy." CONTRACTS FOR MORE ACREAGE ARE OBTAINED 1 CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE ' raise beets tliis year. It is be- , lieved that the itotal acreage in , ,the comity will not be far from 3,000 acres, one of the largest ever obtained here. To Aid Unemployed , The township trusteed who I i.i'conipanied the committees I Thursday and Friday performed a ' public spirited service and at the l same time took the first steps in providing jobs for some of Hie unemployed in the county. The raising, of beets requires a certain amount of labor and the trustees during the growing season, prohope to putt many mon to work viding them with work and consequently giving them an earning capacity. In cases where requested, labor will be provided ants the sugar company officials will cooperate with the trustees in assigning as | many local men as possible to the | beet fields. The labor charge.; under the 50-50 contract is sls an | acre. In the majority of cases: however, beet growers will do their own work. It was pointed I out that many boys, members of i farm clubs and industrious young ! fellows were in pan nership with > their fathers in the growing of i beets and that they intended to look after the tracts. With the assurance that the 12.000 acres will be secured, work will begin in the near future on the remodeling and renovating of the local mill and the building of additional unloading yards. When Dale W. McMillen, president of I.he company which has taken over the local factory, was here a few [ weeks ago, he stal ed in an inter- , I view that work would probably [ begin in May and not later than June. Several thousand dollars will be expended in making the necessary improvements. -— —o * I Senator James Davis Undergoes Operation Pittsburgh March 11 — (UP) — United titates Senator James J. Davis was reported resting comfortably in a hospital here today after wn emergency operation for appendicitis. Senator Davis suffered an acute attack of appendicitis while flying to Pittsburgh from Washington lust night. Arriving in Pitsiiurgli. lie imine I Oiateiy cousulled a doctor, who ad . vised tile operation. He was taken to south side hospi- j tai where the operation was per- 1 formed at 1 lA. M.

engines rushed by. Water flowed in the gutters from the pumping which had extinguished dozens of fires. Broken glass and bricks, plaster and lathe littered the sidewalks. Merchandise tumbled in confusion from the shelves of shops, laid bare to the streets by broken windows and mallen walls. Smaller buildings suffered most. Hotels and apartment houses 12 stories high remained standing, while one and two-story markets were demolished. Garages collapsed, crushing automobiles as if they were tin toys. At the curbs, falling cornices crushed through the roofs of parked cars. Orderly and calm after their first panic, householders in the residence district removed their household goods to laWns, lit camp tiros in the streets and gathered in groups for companionship ami to discuss their plight. Probably half their neighbors had tied, but they remained by their homes. Here a comfortable living room stood naked to the street, a reading lamp shining over an easy chair by a radio revealed by the falling of a wall. There a porch was shorn from its supports. Another house leaned crazily, seemingly ready to fall at a touch. Dinner stood on a table in a second floor dining room. Not a brick marred the interior of the room, as open as a movie set. A number of apartment houses were inspected hastily and condemned. Winter visitors, who
