counts of failure to deposit daily sums of money ranging from $14,583.31 to $149,482.89. The other six counts specified embezzlement of sums ranging from $584.63 to 82.658.63. Kieser resigned in July after admitting the theft of about $200,000 in county funds. The jury considered the case for nearly 13 hours before returning the indictments. Witnesses included county officials and State Board of Accounts examiners. Kieser was not called before the jury. , - ' Kieser was held in Perry County Jail in lieu of $250,000 bond. Circuit Judge U Marlin Ewing said a hearing on a petition filed last week requesting that Kieser's bond be refused will be held Thursday. In returning the indictments against Kieser. the jury made two recommendations concerning the handling of county funds in the future. One was that daily deposits should be made by the county treasurer, and the other that the banks handling county deposits should send a copy of each statement to the county auditor in addition to the treasurer.

Clintland Variety Tops In Oats Yield Withstands Heavy Rust Infestation Clintland yielded the highest and had the heaviest test weight of eight oats varieties compared in 14 central Indiana oats demonstration trials this year. Gilbert P. Walker, Purdue University extension agronomist, said Clintland, a variety bred to resist a new race of leaf rust that attacks Clinton 59, withstood a heavy infestation of the disease. He said the disease caused serious damage to Clinton 59 and Benton oats. Low yields of lightest weight were the rule throughout central and north-central Indiana for these two varieties. Clinland averaged 55 bushels per acre with a 30 pound' test weight in the 14 tests. This compared to 37.5 bushels per acre and a 24.5 test weight for Clinton 59. Bentaldn with resistance to the new leaf rust equal to Clintland was second in yield at 52.5 bushels. Newton and Barnett showed considerable rust tolerance with yields of 48 bushels and 28.5 and 27.5 test weights, respectively. Putnam, a new early oats, which has beaten all other varieties in southern Indiana trials in previous years was seriously damaged and yielded 38 bushels per acre and had a test weight of 26.5 pounds. When early seeded, however, Putnam showed little rust damage. Gary, a later Canadian oats very popular in eastern states, was very chaffy with a 23 pound test weight and a 40 busel yield.

The index showed consumers were paying $12,08 in July for the same items that cost $lO a little less than 10 years ago. Installment Credit Expands Other observers of the price spiral have noted that many Americans have stretched their credit to the limit. In line with this, the Federal Reserve Board reported Tuesday that during July all types of installment credit were expanded with increases in automobile and personal loans in the lead / Consumer credit of all kinds also increased to $42,365,000,000, or $2,887,000,000 higher than a year ago. During July, consumer installment credit grew by some 355 million dollars to an estimated $32.699,000,000 by the end of the month. \ In July 1955, a boom year, installment credit jumped by 545 million dollars. Last year the June-to-July increase was only 213 million dollars.
