Two Men Fined As Traffic Violators n Two Men Arrested Here Over Weekend Two men, arrested over the weekend, were fined in Mayor John M. Doan’s city court late this morning for driving violations. Norval Witte, 21, Monroeville, pleaded guilty to charges of drunken driving and was fined $25 and costs. His driver’s license was ordered suspended for 90 days. He was arrested about 4:20 o’clock Sunday morning by officer Dale Death after a lengthy chase through the city. Frank H.

Officers charged Conn’s auto struck a parked car. owned by W. J. Dowling, Gary, creating several hundred dollars worth of damage. Conn, who suffered a chin laceration. was taken by sheriff Herman Bowman from the jail to the hospital for treatment and then re turned to await arraignment. 0 Court Carries On Webster, S.D.

Attends Meeting Os School Principals W. Guy Brown, principal of Decatur junior-senior high school attended a meeting of the Indiana secondary school principals’ association in Indianapolis Saturday. Principal Brown was accompanied to Indianapolis by four high school > students, Robert McAlhaney, David r Moore, Jack Heller and Bruce » Baugh n. o — Wallace Movement Organized In State State Convention Planned In June Indianapolis, Feb. 16 —'(UP) — An organized Wallace-for-president movement was underway In Indiana today and its leadens predicted that “growing sentiment” might produce a third party slate of candidates for governor, congress, and other state offices. Some 250 members of Indiana citizens for Wallace met here yesterday to plan a state convention in June to organize the progressive people’s party to back Henry A. Wallace’s presidential candidacy. Terming the response “most heartening.” Wallace supporters ’ said organization of county Wai- ■ lace clubs would begin immediately ! all over Indiana. In a daylong Sunday session, speakers criticized the “DemocraticRepublican coalition” and charged that the two major parties offered } them no voting choice on vital issues. ' Harry White, executive secretary of the group’s committee, said it ‘ would depend entirely on “later developments” whether the state convention next June would noml- j nate state candidates to run with f Wallace next fall. ‘‘To go into this campaign with- " out an organized elate would just I be a waste of time,” said Carl L. Eddy of Indianapolis. “We can’t fiddle around with the Democrats in one county and the Republicans in another.” The group adopted a resolution setting up the convention but went i on record only as “favoring” nom- ' ination of the candidates. Inspired by a personal message from Wallace which praised his Hoosier supporters as being “among the first to organize” in hie behalf, the-delegates launched into an enthusiastic session of planning and castigation of Democratic and Republican parties. Only once did a delegate predict ■ flatly, however, that Wallace” will . be elected president.” White and chairman Dr. J. R. Shannon, Indiana State Teachers College professor, said it was “still too early” to predict. o Seek Soldier's Body In River In Japan Tokyo, Feb. 16 — (UP) — Authorities today searched the Sumida river near the Kachidoki bridge for the body of an American soldier missing since Saturday when an army triick .plunged into the river. Two other Americans, T/5 Arnold W. Horton, Florence, Ala., and Pfc. James Doll, 4170 W. Washington St., Indianapolis, Ind., escaped With minor injuries. The name of the missing American was not disclosed. DAIRYMEN AND CATTLE FEEDERS If you want to be sure of having a steel silo for your 1948 crop of hay or corn better order a Silver Shield now. Have it delivered to your farm and erect it as soon as the weather permits. We have already delivered sev- ' eral to be erected in the spring of • 1948. Don't you think it would be wise to be the “early bird” and have ■your silo all ready a few months I before your crop is ready, rather than have the crop ready and no silo, which happened to several good farmers last fall. Then here is something to consider: We all know how scarce r steel is so your silo might cost i you more next summer than it ' would now. since solis have not advanced in price as much as some ' other merchandise we know of. If your neighbor has a steel silo it is probably a “Silver Shield.” Ask him how he likes it. Ask him if he ever had any spoiled ensilage around those tight fitting doors. No one needs tell you how feed costs mount, up these days—you ; know. You should also know that ; your money will buy more feed : storage in a silo than in any other r kind of storage and so little ups keep. Don’t let your hay crop rot in the field next spring when it comes a rainy time. Don’t let all that good corn fodder go to waste next fall. Have your Silver Shield steel silo ready, and you will have the best and cheapest feed you e»er fed. For dejofiptio; md fridej. tn its or Pfcsee Zaiph B Bluffton. 6 Ind. Phene 802-I.—Adv.
