1 A McCormick-Deering Drill for every Grain Grower’s Needs < :y|' jk..- ;■ \ >r - ; / 4 t t Good Seeding Pays for Itself DRILLED grain always stands a better chance than broadcasted grain, particularly in dry weather. When you drill your grain it reaches the bottom of the seed trench and is covered to the proper depth. ' 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 ninety-nine years of manufacturing and engineering experience. And farmers in this district who use McCor- , < mick-Deerir.gs say these drills are doing their stuff in the field. They’re mighty hard to beat! i There is a complete line of McCormick-Deering Grain Drills. Sizes from 10 to 28-furrow. Models for horse or tractor use and for various kinds of seeds. We’ll be glad to show them to you. THE SCHAFER STORE HARDWARE AND HOME FURNISHINGS

The speaker said "six foot three in li center men were common this year, rules of the game makes It almost necessary to have bl* hoys to win." Mr. Curtis said that Logansport "had Just what it takes for a ehutnplonsbip team, big boys well . cached in all fundamentals, a fine ’ defensive team, a highly organized! offense that caused the people to j wonder how they could execute it I without hesitation or pause, and a| n an.

March 21 — (UP) While the spotlight of the annual Butler relays here Saturday will rest on the individual performances of a dozen or more worldfamous runners, competition for team honors promise to furnish as i many thrills. With the official enry lint closed, Butler officials today indi< ated that lat least five schools will take part in a (heated battle for the team championship. Indiana, with an enry list which in hided many star performers, won the meet last year with 22 points. But this year Notre Dame. Illinois, Butler, Michigan.

URGES CONTROL FOR AVIATION Former Chief of Air Force Urges Single Agency Control • - Washington. Mar. 21 — (U.R) — Control of all aviation under one federal agency was urged by Brig. Gen. William Mitchell today as essential if aviation, development “is to be taken out of the hands of the money lenders.” “If the government is going to spend money on aviation in the interest of private lines in part it should see to it that real results are obtained and that money ia not used for gambling by speculators." Mitchell said. He testified before the house postoffice committee considering | permanent airmail legislation and admitted he favored, under strict federal control, continuance of airmail subsidies to private lin»-«. . Mitchell, chief of the AEF air force, said, however, that “there is a question in my mind whether 1 the airmail shouldn’t be carried by tlie government.” He blamed “boneheadedness" by war department officials for what he termed the inefficiency of air corps flying equipment. Mitchell asserted that since 1926 aviation development had been in the hands of “various holding companies" which were not interested in proper development of commercial planes. “Every other large country is further advanced in aviation than the United States.” said the flier, if we went to war tomorrow we would have to buy our planes in Europe. "The aircraft developed commercially are not proner for their work — commercial lines are not able, nor do they have a desire to equip aircraft property. They lack proper automatic pilots, safety devices and other equipment which long ago should have beeu considered necessary.” COMMODORES LEAVE TODAY FOR TOURNEY (CONTINUED FROM T’ACE ONE) forward, and Harrison, guard.
