GOVERNOR ASKS FOR TAIL CORN Gov. Townsend Sends Out Call For Exhibit Os Tall Corn An ”S. O. S." to Adams county j corn growers to search for tall corn was sent out today by Adams ; County Agricultural Agent L. E. I Archbold, at the request of Gov. M Clifford Townsend. County Agent Archbold said that i there was a good possibility that some exceptionally high corn might be raised in the county this year, especially in Monroe township, where ensilage corn is grown. Heavy rains on the low black cuaxi giouiHM tAwe year bwve.prole . I ably eliminated some of the better corn patches from the competition. ! he stated, as some other counties I in the state did not receive so i much rain and have enjoyed better I ‘corn weather.” The letter received by County Agent Archbold from Gov. TownI send read: “A great deal of publicity has I been given to the state of Wiscon I sin and lowa relative to their tall I corn. While you and I know that the tallest staik does not always produce the best ears, yet it is surprising to me what great interest has been aroused. I seldom at-: tend a meeting anywhere hut what someone says to me. 'Cliff, why don’t you answer those fellows and tell them about our tall corn?' “A few days ago I received a let-|. ter from B. H. Heide, manager of the Internationl grain and hay show, tall stalks of corn were going to be exhibited from as many ; states as would send entries. "For the above reasons. I am asking you to send out an S. 0. S. to corn-growers of your county. l urging them to make an intensive hunt for the tallest stalks in your j I county. I believe we can find stalks sixteen feet or more in height. 1 would appreciate having you inform me of any such stalks that you find and we will work out a i way to preserve them for the Chicago International. “Indiana now furnishes the best seed corn and also the most corn on five acres of any state. With this intensive hunt, let us "slip up" on the other states with the tallest i stalk. 'Very truly yours. “M Clifford Townsend.” o Al Becker To Leave Radio Station WOWO J. A. (Al) Becker, of Ft. Wayne, public relations director for West- , inghouse radio stations WOWO , and WGL. last night announced his resignation from that position, es- , fective November 1, in order to , devote his entire time to the mer- . chandising of sound recording and other equipment lines closely identified with the radio broadcasting industry. i Kendallville Foundry Is Damaged By Fire Kendallville.

FOUR BOYS ARE INJURED HERE i FRIDAY NIGHT Fort Wayne Youths Hurt As Auto Hits Guard Rail Last Night Four young men were injured, one seriously, last night shortly before 9 o’clock when a careening auto tore into a bridge guard-rail post four miles north of Decatur near the Schieferstein hill. Joe Faulkner. 19, son of Mr. and Mrs. Joe Faulkner. Sr. of Fort Wayne, was the most severely hurt of the four. He sustained a brain concussion. Robert Dowling. IS. son of Mr. and Mrs. William Dowling, Fort Wayne, sustained a severely lacerated head and face in the crash. The driver, Ned Klotz, IS and James la»gue. also in the car, were less severely hurt. Klotz sustained lacerations on the head and an injured right ear. Logue suffered mostly from schock. According to the driver, the lads were out for a ride, coming towards Decatur when the accident occurred. Klotz said that as they approached the brow of the hill they were traveling about 55 miles per hour. He said that a car enroute the same way was traveling only about 30 miles per hour, for which he was unable to stop. An approaching auto prevented him from driving around, he said. The auto, a heavy coach, careened out of control on the berm on the right side and turned over onto the guard rail post. Faulkner was knocked unconscious. Dowling and Faulkner were brought to the Adams county memorial hospital in the Zwick & Son ambulance. The other two were brought in passenger cars. Young Dowling is well known in this city, being a relative of several local peraons. All of the boys' parents were notified immediately. The car was deemed an almost total wreck The right side was entirely caved in by the post. Sheriff Dallas Brown investigated. Both Sheriff Brown and Policeman* Ed Miller were forced to remain at the accident scene for hours to control the hundreds of autos that gathered to see the evidence of the crash. The auto belonged to George F. Klotz, father of one of the injured lads. Kenneth Daniels, also of Fort Wayne, was the driver of the other car enroute south that figured in the accident. Young Klotz told Sheriff Brown that his brakes would not hold. o Feast Os Assumption Will Be Observed The feaet of the Assumntion of the Blessed Virgin Mary will be celebrated in the Catholic churches Sunday. It is one of the principal holy days of the year and this year comes on Sunday.

1 Reading Sheriff’s Records Show “Crime Doesn’t Pay’’

An interesting perusal of the records at the Adams county jail since January, 1935 — the year when Sheriff Dallas Brown first took office— clearly indicates the , ■ soundness of the old adage, "Crime | ' Doesn't Pay.” With the cooperation of the sheriff’s department deputies, the city police force, under Chief Sephus ’ .Welch! and the various state police, | 276 wayward citizens have been put behind the bars of the sheriff's domicile on First street in this city. Os the 276 criminals or would be criminals, seven have gone to Michigan City to serve time behind the walls of the Indiana state prison .nine have been sent to the reformatory at Pendleton, three have gone to hard labor at the PutnamI villa penal farm and three were shown the leniency of a suspend ■<! ■ sentence. Terms range from 1-60 days’ 1-10 years, 2-14 years and 10- ' 25 years. Two Are Women Two of these have been women. One was sentenced to prison and | the other given a 30 day jail sen- : tence. Every alleged criminal brought j to trial has been convicted, with I one exception, and that man is still being held in jail awaiting re-trial. Enough evidence was garnered by the sheriff and his aides to furnish proof of the criminals guilt before a judge or jury. Sheriff Dallas Brown has driven 100,000 miles in three automobiles to apprehend the alleged criminals.

PLAN NATURAL GAS FUR CITY Utility To Petition Council For Change To Natural Gas Use Natural gijs for Decatur moved another step toward becoming an ] accomplished fact today with the' announcement that an ordinance ( would be presented to the city I council next Tuesday night, auth I orlzing the gas company to change I the character of the gas served to this community. A. Stapleton, local manager of the Northern Indiana Public Ser- | vice company, is expected to appear before the council at the meeting when the ordinance is presented. The public service commission at Indianapolis, already lias approved the contract between the utility and the Michigan Gas] Transmission Corporation under: which the latter will bring natural gas here from the Panhandle fields of Texas. An annual saving of $8,978.00 would be made by local customers if and when the change to natural gas is made. The cost of the change to natural gas in the Fort Wayne system, which will exceed $200,000 will be born entirely by . , the Northern Indiana Public Serj vice company. "This change will be made without one cent of expense to any householder." explained Mr. Stapleton. "It will bring clean, cheap natural gas. with all its advantages, to this community." The reduction to residential cus- ] tomers will amount to 21.11 per- | cent. However, in the case of Fort Wayne customers using gas for ( home heating, for instance, bills i will be reduced as much as onethird, Mr. Stapleton said. Commercial customers here will benefit by ] a 16.74 percent reduction; industrial custopiers by a reduction »>f 22.3 percent and school, city and government units by a reduction of 15.55 percent. Work would he begun immediately on approval of the change, which will necessitate the adjustment of every gas burning appliance in the community as soon as , approval ia granted by lhe_local I council. Towns served from the Fort Wayne System include F.-wt i Wayne, Bluffton, Decatur. Ossian, | Tocsin, Preble and New Haven. The governing bodies of the other ; | communities also will be asked to] approve the change to natural gas : I The company originally planned to ' serve natural gas to Columbia City. Roanoke and South Whitley, if local approval were obtained, but this plan is being held in abeyance temporarily. Mr. Stapleton pointed out today that, in addition to the economy of natural gas, it is even cleaner than manufactured gas. The gas passes through refining processes which provide what he termed a “truly marvelous" contrast with the old crude natural gas. with which many older residents of the community may be familiar. “The introduction of natural gas is expected to stimulate the use of gas for house heating because of the low rate.” Mr. Stapleton said.

— Deputies, city and state police may also add thousands of miles to these figures as their share. Os the number arrested. Sheriff ■ Brown and deputies have apprei hended 167, the city police force has arrested 91, and the state patrolmen. 18. Scores of the arrested men were sent to jail for terms, or fined and given a suspended sentence, ranging from one to 90 days. Every stolen car, with but one exception, has been recovered. The one exception was an old, dilapidated model deemed unworthy of the expense of an intensive search. Sheriff Brown estimated that more than 60 per cent of the county's misdemeanors and felonies are I solved within a short period. Causes of the men’s incarcerai tlon embraces a wide variety of off- ■ tenses, ranging from public intox--1 ication to forgery, grand larceny and the recent sodomy and rape suspects. Intoxication Leads Public intoxication, naturally, leads the list in number, 94 having : been put in jail for the offense, j Petit larceny, with 21. is next in line. Drunken driving, with 17, as- 1 sault and battery and grand larceny with 11 each, follow closely behind. Nine deserters of child and wife j have been jailed Seven, who stole , autos and seven who forged checks . were imprisoned in the jail Other offenses in number are as follows: Fraudulent check passing, four; (■CONTINUED.

LEADERS HOPE TO ADJOURN BY NEXT SATURDAY Wage And Hours Bill Apparently Shelved To Next Session Washington. Aug. 14 <U.R> -Coni gress smashed its wuy toward an August 21 adjournment today with the administration's wage ami hours bill apparently shelved until ■ next session Senate and house administration leaders admitted privately that there was little chance of getting the measure out of the house rules ' committee over the opposition of a coalition of five southern Democrats and four Republicans. The other three bills remaining on the administration's "esired" list advanced swiftly toward enactment. Developments? The house, prepared to pass the tax loophole-closing measure Monday. holding a night session if nec- | eSsary. The hill, drafted along lines recommended by the joint senate-house tax avoidance investigating committee, was reported yestrday by the house ways and i | means committee. Senate leaders were ready to speed it towrd passage as soon a sthe house disposes of it. The Wagner ■ Steagall housing bill, reported drastically revised yesterday by the house banking and currency committee, was scheduled for house action Thursday. It already has been passed by the senate. Both houses planned to speed the sugar marketing measure to conference for adjustment of differences between senate and house versions. The senate passed the j bill yesterday. It was indicated that conferees would attempt to meet White House objections to. . the measure. House leaders scheduled the $130,000,000 third deficiency appropriation bill for consideration Tuesday. It is designed to meet final congressional authorizations. Apparent settlement of the crop loan fight between congress and President R. .osevelt also helped move congress closer to adjourn ment by the end of next week. The senate approved a resolution designed to make farm production ] control legislation the first order lof business next session. House I passage was planned for next week. The action was expected ] to bring White HouSe approval of cotton loans at least during the period of stumbling prices. The house was in recess today but the senate was in session working on comparatively minor legislation. The leadership's program for next week left out the wage and hour bill, lending emphasis to the i general opinion that the rules committee deadlock would stand and the bill would go over until next session. Majority leader Sam Rayburn of Texas predicted adjournment by August 21 or August 23 at the latest.

Aviators Kill Thousands Os Own Countrymen By Mistake; Intended For Jap Gunboats. TERRIFIC TOLL Shanghai, Aug. 14 -<U.R) —Chinese bombing planes wrecked wide , areas in the heart of Shanghai toI day while attempting to sink Japanese gunboats in the Whangpoo river. American volunteers reported I that one bomb alone killed upwards of a thousand persons in | Thibet road where bodies were stacked on the sidewalks seven { feet deep. Raining down through clouds : and fog on natives and foreigners : alike, the high explosives ripped up pavements, sewer and water mains, smashed buildings and killed hundreds in the vicinity of the Cathay and Palace hotels in the center of the city. The U. S. Cruiser Augusta, bearing Rear Admiral Harry E. Yarnell, which has started under full draft the moment Shanghais situation grew tense early in the week, arrived and anchored In the lower reaches of the Whangpoo. (A Domei Japanese news agency dispatch reported that bombs had fallen near the Augusta while it I was moored at Woosung.) The admiral was in constant ' wireless touch with TJ. S. Consul I General Clarence Gauss. It was persistently felt that the slaughter was due to dropping of Chinese bombs when aviators, fear- | ing pursuit, had released their heavy loads to gain speed in flight. United Press correspondents saw torn bodies of the killed and wounded all through the most congested part of the international settlement. Casualties were frightful. How many died in the blast of Chinese-Japanese hatred may never be known. But it was known that many foreigners, including Americans. were killed or wounded. One bomb dropped near the Cathay hotel caused terrible casualties in the street. The manager of the Palace hotel estimated betw'een 50 and 60 persons, guests aud workers, were killed or wounded by one boir b there. At least 100 persons, possibly 500. according to preliminary estimates, were killed by a single bomb that fell in the middle of the street at the corner of the Tibet road and the Avenue Edtvard VII. A day of mad terror was brought to its peak when in midafternoon an airplane dropped from t:ie murky storm clouds a bomb that exploded in the Nanking road, in the city’s heart. As the thunder of the explosion died, acrid smoke, the screams of (CONTINUED ON PAGE THREE) o Additional Honors To Guernsey Owners Additional honors have been taken by Adams county exhibitors in the Guernsey regional show being held this week in Huntington.
