Whistle Stop Trip Mapped By Wickard One-Day Trip Over Smallest Railroad INDIANAPOLIS (UP)—Former agricuHure secretary Claude IL Wickard mapped an old-fashioned • whistle stop” campaign trip across three Central Indiana counties today on the state's smallest railroad. Wickard, fighting a ballotbox battle with Sen. Homer E. Capehart for the latter’s post in Washington, will take over a train on the Central Indiana railroad Sept. 26 for a one-day trip from on to Anderson. Wickard called it a “Farm Special." The train will make eight stops, mostly at tiny farm communities. as it rolls slowly across 45 miles of tracks through Boone, Hamilton and Madison counties. The train will leave Lebanon at 8:30 a. m.. carrying Wickard and other Democratic candidates for state and local offices, including Mayor Ralph Tucker of Terre Haute, the party’s nominee for governor, and John W. King and William C. Whitehead, who aspire to congressional seats from the 6th and sth districts, respectively. Candidates will deliver campaign speeches at Gadsden. Rpsston. Trinidad and Westfield enroute to Noblesville, where lunch will be served. After lunch, the train will pick up Madison county candidates and stop at Durbin and Lapel enroute to Anderson for an evening barbecue. • Sen. Estes Kefauver, Democratic nominee for vice president, is scheduled to speak at the barbecue sponsored by the Madison county Jefferson club. Ike Duffy, colorful president of the Central Indiana Railroad and personal friend of Wickard, helped arrange the train trip. A German band will play at each stop while the candidates gather round the train’s rear platform for their campaign speeches. State Os Contrasts SAN FRANCISCO (UP) — California, which has more automobiles registered than any other state, presents quite a contrast in registrations when overall state figures are broken down into •counties. Consider, for example. Alpine County's 282 autos of Los Angeles’ t0ta1—2,328,828. Texas* 42 state parks were visited by 667,856 persons during June.

Generally speaking, the softer the plum, the more ripe it ia. Overripe fruit is almost mushy to the touch and unless you can use it quickly, isn’t a good buy.
