Aug B—lndiana farmers, under the provisions of the 1938 agricultural adjustment act. now are being offered wheat loans at farm rates ranging from a flat 67 cents a bushel In 78 counties to a Chicago terminal 75 cents in the 14 northwestern counties, L. M. Vogler, chairman of the state AAA committee with headquarters at Purdue university, announced today. The rate for 14 northwestern Indiana counties will be 75 cents per bushel for No. 2 Red Winter wheat, less all rail Interstate freight rate from local shipping point designated by producer to Chicago and less four cents per bushel for handling charge A flat rate of 67 cents per bushel for the same grade and kind of wheat will exist for the remaining 78 Hoosier counties. Vogler said. The loans, bearing founr percent interest, will be for seven months where the wheat is stored in elevators and until May 31, 1939 where wheat is stored on farms, the chairman explained. Loans may be obtained until Dec. 31, 1935. Storage Charges Storage charges on commercial storage will be paid by the commodity credit corporation if the wheat is acquired by the corporation. Producers of farm stored wheat will receive payment of seven cents a bushel for storage if they deliver their wheat to the corporation at a local shipping point on or after May 31, 1939. Tlie 14 northwestern counties referred to are: Lake, Newton, Benton, Porter, Jasper. White. LaPorte, Pulaski. St. Joseph. Marshall. Fulton. Elkhart, Kosciusko and Starke counties. Lee Patrick, Indiana's corn and wheat loan supervisor, states that eligible wheat for a loan must grade No. 3 or better and that regular commercial rates of discount shall be made for garlic and smut. No. 1 wheat shall be valued at one cent over No. 2 and No. 3 grade shall be a discount of three cents per bushel tinder No. 2 wheat. Wheat may be released any time upon payment of principal, interest and any other costs, Patrick explained. When wheat is acquired by the commodity credit corporation after the due date of the note, no interest will be charged. County Committees The state and county agricultural conservation committees will sponsor all work connected with wheat loans. A farmer wishing to obtain a loan on farm stored wheat will request his county committee for an inspection of his bins and the condition of his wheat. If the soil depleting crops on his farm as determined under the 1938 agricultural conservation program are not tn excess of 105% of his 1938 total soil depleting allotment, (CONTINUED ON PAGE THREE)

Newark, N. J., Aug. B—(U.R)— Douglas Corrigan left by plane today for Boston and the start of a tour which will take him to most of the major cities of the country. The “wrong-way” transatlantic flier left Newark airport at 9:30 a. in. CST as a passenger In a commercial airliner.

Sammy The Ape Does Corrigan Trick Saturday Sammy, “The educated ape” who has been said to have bridged the 1 million years between the African Jungle and the white man's civillza-' tlon did a "Corrigan” Saturday afternoon and before the spectators !at the street fair show reverted back to his former primitive self in | less than a second. Maddened temporarily by the and noise the beast attacked his trainer in the midst of hie act. The | , tent located at the corner of Monroe and Second streets was filled with spectators at the time. His trainer said that Sammy us- ( ually is quite docile but the heat; last week probably effected his nerves and made him bad tempered. The strong steel wire cage (pre- ! vented any possibility of injury the spectators. The ape suddenly turned on his i trainer who reached for a torch i which he kept on hand to subdue (CONTINUED ON PAGE FIVE) DR. J. W. BRYAN FACES CHARGES Gov. Chandler’s Physician Is Accused By Police Chief Louisville, Ky., Aug. B—(U.PJ — Police Chief John Malley said toI day that Dr. J. W. Bryan, physician ' who diagnosed Gov. A. B. (Happy) ' Chandler's recent illness as “poisi oning" has been served with a warrant charging violation of a ■ city ordinance. The ordinance requires that a I i physician attending a victim of poi- \ ■ soiling or other violence report I such cases to the police within two hours. Bryan's report on Chand- ( ler's illness was not made for sev- ' eral days. “I ordered the warrant issued," | Malley said. "1 held it up until j after the primary so it wouldn't be I interpreted as being connected with j politics. This is a case between i Bryan and the police.” Chandler was stricken with a • stomach ailment July 21 after he | had drunk several glasses of water during a radio speech from his ' Louisville headquarters. The ailment was diagnosed at first as ini digestion. Then Bryan signed an affidavit stating that the water had | been poisoned in a “deliberate ' attempt on the governor’s life.” The charge was the most sensaj tlonal made during Chandler's camI paign for the Democratic U. C.

He was assisted to his feet by Loren Lake, merchant policeman and others, and put into the Zwick and Son ambulance. However, he refused admittance to the hospital and was taken home. CITY STILL IN GRIP OF HEAT — Cool Winds Bring Short Respite Sunday Night; No Relief Seen Decaturites today again sweltered under the burning rays of a hot sun I following a comfortable night as result of cool east winds. Sunday was one of the hottest days of the month with the Democrat thermometer recording a tem-j perature of 97 degrees in tne late, afternoon. I Cool winds, however, 'brought relief last night and early this morn-' ing until the arrival of the sun that! quickly scattered the effects of the breeze. ! This morning at 8 o’clock the;, reading was 76, just four degrees I i less than the highest reading of i the season for that hour, giving < indications of another "scorcher.” Workers and tired fair visitors left the city in wholesale lots over j Sunday and the week-end, making i trips to lake resorts and other re-J. ported cool pots in an effort to ' find a brief respite from the sizz- ’ ling temperatures of the past week. No heat prostrations were report- • ed, although several cases of minor i illness were reported, many of these I thought to have been aggravated by the intense heat.

"Claims made on any day during the week of August 15 to 20 will' be dated as of the 15th and full credit will be given for the whole | week as waiting period," Mr. E. F. Kixmiller, deputy in charge of unemployment compensation in the ; local state employment office.; announced. “In order to avoid possible con- 1 gestion in the office of the large number of insured workers made ; I eligible effective August 15 by re-1 < peal of the 'slo clause,’ it may be necessary to schedule appointments throughout the week,” Mr.; Kixmiller continued. “Whatever j emergency steps may prove neces-;, sary, claimants may be assured . that their rights will be fully pro-, tected. Therefore those who can conveniently delay their application call until later in the week are requested to do so. "Repeal of the $lO requirement does not affect other qualification rules in the law. Therefore all, claimants must submit evidence to' support their claim as follows: 1. They must show earnings' • from an employer or employers, subject to the unemployment com- j pensation law.

FUNERAL RITES TUESDAY FOR CRASH VICTIM August Leimenstoll Dies Saturday In Hospital; Second Fatality Funeral services will be held Tuesday afternoon for August Lei--1 inenstoll, 59-year-old Maglev resident who died in the Adams county memorial hospital late Saturday of injuries received in an auto acciI dent more than a week ago. Leimenstoll died Saturday afternoon at 12:11 o’clock as result of a i crushed chest, two fractured legs, a fractured clavical and other injuries received a week ago last Thursday when his car overturned on Federal road 224, west of the city. I It was Adams county's second traffic fatality of the year. Leimen- ! stoll’s condition has been critical since his admittance to the hospital ou the day of the accident. Hospital attaches held some hope for his recovery, however, until late Saturday morning. The deceased was a native of Germany, being born there September 4, 1878. He came to this country when 24 years of age, settling iu ' Adams county. At the time of his death he was employed as a highway worker. He was a member of Adams lodge 1311, Loyal Order of Moose of this city. Surviving, besides the widow, are two children; Miss Rachel May Lei- ! menstoll of Magley and Edward R. of Detroit; two grandchildren; MarI ilyn and Margaret Leimenstoll. Funeral services will be held Tuesday afternoon at 2 o'clock at the S. E. Black funeral home in this city with the Rev. David Grether, pastor of the Magley Reformed church, officiating. Burial will be made in the Pleasant Dale cemetery west of the city. The details of the accident, which took Leimenstoll's life were never 1 learned. He was riding alone at i the time of the crash and there were no witnesses. Authorities ex- | pressed the belief that he had either ' fallen asleep or lost control of the car, which overturned several times. o Mrs. Lose Dismissed From Local Hospital Mrs. Joe Lose, who last week sustained a second leg fracture within the past seven months, was dismissed from the Adams county memorial hospital late Sunday and returned to her home. X-rays developed after her admittance to the hospital revealed that the bone itself was not fractured the second time, but only the new tissue, callous and cartilage surrounding the fracture. 0 To Close City Pool For Cleaning W ork The swimming pool will be closed this evening at 10 o'clock for another thorough cleaning. The pool will be opened to all adults from 9 to 10 this evening. Supervisor Marion Fease! stated that he hopes to have the pool reopened by Friday after which it will remain open until the season closes. FARMERS SEEK LABOR CHANGES Agricultural Council Says Labor Legislation Is Unfair Madison, Wis., Aug. B—(U.R8 —(U.R) —The Wisconsin council of agriculture, a federation of 35 co-operatives embracing more than 80,000 farmes, today demanded the right to produce and market agricultural products “free from unlawful interference” of labor organizations. Without a dissenting vote, directors of the council went on record sharply denouncing the state and federal labor relations acts which they charged were one-sided iu favor of labor. A 10-point program defining the council's policy on farm-labor-industrial relationship was adopted. The council action came after a lengthy survey on the problems of agriculture, labo rand industry conducted by a special committee. Adoption of the policy was believed to have been prompted in part by recent labor disturbances at the Richland Center creamery where in June 500 farmers resisting unionization of the plant drove niue union men front the plant.

Lad Lives In Brush Country Where Adults Have Gone Mad

Sturgeon Falls, Ont., Aug. 8 — i (U.R) —Five-year old Fernand Tessier, who survived five days alone i in wild, terrifying brush country populated by wild animals, was a hero today to the whole Nipissing district. Neighbors came to pat his head and call him a brave and resourceI ful little man. and to ply him with , questions. They found him in bed, against his will, and uncommunicative. His parents assumed that he had eaten berries, the only sus- ' tenance that the wilderness pro- . vides, and that he was too young ' to realize the perils he had undergone. A searching party of farmers who I found him late Sunday had to run him down. He ran when he saw i them coming and the story learned i from his footprints was that sever- • al times previously he had hidden : in thickets when other searchers gassed near hint. He whimpered i

Last Evidences Os City's Free Street Fair Taken Away Today By Workers In Final Clean-Up. RECORD CROWDS Decatur and community returned .to normalcy today, following the ' dosing Saturday night of one of the most successful and colorful 1 street fairs in history. Record crowds, undaunted by threatening weather and heavy showers on several occasions flocked to the city enmasse to witness the staging of the 1938 edition of the Decatur Free Street Fair and Agri--1 cultural Show, pousored by the Decatur Chamber of Commerce. Saturdays-crowd was huge iu proportion and equalled by only one .other day of the event —Wednesday, when the added number of band* and floats in a gigantic parade prov. ; ed an unparalleled attractioa. While no official figures are avail, able as yet, it is considered a certainity that the fair this year has I proven a financial success. Promptly at midnight Saturday, in accordance with annual custon., the lights flickered out on the midway and concessionnaires began “to I tear down.’ Today, with only a few vestige* of the big show remaining, the fair I was but a memory in the minds o£ the thousands who attended at least one day of the celebration. City light crew members wera , tearing down the added electrio light lines, set up previous to the fair to afford concessionnaires and stand operators with light and power. All rides and shows were gone, with the exception of the “hey-day”, on North second street, which could ; not be dismantled Saturday due ta lack of time. The flags and banners, the stora decorations and other evidences ot I the week of gaiety were removed ; and store owners turned their attention to the more business like side of the summer. The members of the city street department, aided by state highway j men worked tirelessly after closing I of the fair to clear debris and refuse left from stands. White marking, rapidly disappeared under tha treads of auto tires, silently marked the spots, where last week, a sideshow, church eating s*and or doll-baby rack had stood for tha enjoyment of fair-goers. Police Complimented One of the groups which received probably the most commendable 1 comments was the law enforcement agencies, including city and stata police and the sheriffs department. Strict law enforcement was maintained throughout the week and traffic adeptly handled despite tha large crowds. o Theater Owner Pays Intoxication Fine Jesse Leßrun. local theater manager, was fined $1 and costs lata Saturday, when he plead guilty ta a cliarge of public intoxication befor John T. Kelly, justice of peace. The theater owner was arrested Friday night by local and state police when he was allegedly found, downtown while intoxicated. Ha was released upon payment ot tha fine.

upon being “captured,” but otherwise appeared to be in good spirits and health. He was found only a half mile from home, from where he strayed last Wednesday, but he was a wandered in a jungle that even the native trappers enter timidly — where men have been lost and died, or have gone crazy with terror. They use the term “bush sickness" to describe the mental derangement of a person who loses his way and is stricken with the fear of wild animals, starvation and death by exposure. Unmindful of all this, Fernand went out in search of berries and evidently found a plentiful supply. While he foraged. 400 farmers and trappers searched for him. They had been almost ready to give up when they found him. The family doctor treated him for exposure and an inadequate diet.
