LETTER TELLS OF MUCH SUFFERING IN GERMANY

Henry Hordeman received a letter this Tuesday morning from a cousin in Germany in which the latter told of the present condition of that country and of the great amount of suffering, due to the lack of food. He added that those who fell on the field of battle were much better off than those who survived the great strife. " Enclosed in the letter was one of the cards of the American Food Relief Administration, which listed the articles of food most needed by the German people and explaining the course that Americans wanting to send foodstuff to friends in Germany should pursue. The card said in part: “There is a great dearth of staple foods in Germany, white bread is practically unknown, sugar is rationed in meagre quantities and milk even in me . prepared form is a rarity. Americans wishing to remember friends in Germany at Christmas time can bring no greater delight to them than by providing these greatly needed and much desired articles. American Relief Administration Warehouses • Food Drafts, obtainable at any. bank in the United States, furnish the Suickest and safest method of dovering food to Germany. Sugar and cocoa are now included in the contents of our packages and we also pay all delivery and insurance charges. Send the Food-draft to your friends in Germany and they can secure an abundance of food for Christmas or any other time. For further information apply to the nearest bank or the American Food Relief Administration at 115 Broadway, New York.”

CHEAPER CANDIES ARE PROMISED FOR CHRISTMAS

Candy for the kiddies will be one-third cheaper this Christmas than last but it will cost the same for the young man possessed with the “cosmic urge” to “say it with chocolates” to his lady fair. It isn’t that the candy manufacturers don’t join the rest of the world in loving a lover, but according to Albert Levy, general manager of D. Auerbach & Sons, large candy manufacturers, of Chicago, fancy box candy sold now was made six months ago when sugar prices were soaring. “The public generally does not realize that all the best box chocolate candy has to age before it is good,” said Levy. “All good box candy is about six months old. Fresh candy is harmful to the stomach and not so tasty as that wMch has been aged in the box.” Candy for the kiddies—jelly beans, creams, hardtack, lollypops and the like—will retail one-third cheaper, according to Levy. The sweets munched by children and the grownup whose teeth will permit, will sell at from 30 to 85c a pound lower than last year. The same grade last year brought aroun 50 cents. Levy declared the price of candy has been gradually receding with the sugar but the price is still from two to three times greater than before America joined the war. Greater declines have not taken place because the sugar price is not back to pre-war levels, and labor is still more costly, he said. —

New York, Nov. 29.—Josephus A. Solovei, an assistant corporation counsel of the city of New York, was arrested today on a charge of having given a SSOO bribe to a special internal revenue agent in a liquor case. It was alleged he had given the agent, Frank Sieb, the money to influence him in the cases of Benjamin and Albert Gross, Brooklyn brokers, who also were arrested this afternoon charged with conspiracy to violate the Volstead act by using forged rubber stamps bearing the names of Charles R. O’Connor, state prohibition director, and of the Connecticut prohibition director. on false permits for withdrawal of liquor. Hearing Saturday.

IMRE NEEDS OF STATE SCHOOLS ARE SET FORTH

Indianapolis, Nov. 29.—Indiana’s three state educational institutions —lndiana and Purdue universities and tiie State Normal School—are facing an acute financial situation, and unless they are given substantial increases in appropriations, their activities must be limited, speakers declared at a dinner here tongiht The dinner was attended by leading educators and others interested in the welfare of the state schools. The opinion was voiced that restoration of the seven cent tax enacted in 1913, and changed to 2 3-8 cents by the last tax law, would recuperate the finances of the three institution. , L. N. Hines, state superintendent of public instruction, presided as toastmaster. Addresses were made by presidents of the three institutions and Elwood Haynes, Kokomo manufacturer; S. M. Keltner, of Anderson; L. C. Huesmanand Mrs. Demarcus Brown of Indianapolis and Hence Orme of Marion county. Dr. W.*L. Bryan, president of Indiana university, declared that Indiana must no longer lag behind other states in the middle west in the matter of education. He predicted that Indiana again would be a leader in educational activities. Dr. W. W. Parsons, president of the State Normal School, said that mne of fifteen teachers in one department of Iris institution resigned last summer because tile school

could not pay adequate salaries. ~He estimated that the Normal School’s share of the proceeds of the present tax law will he 8826,000, while it will be necessary to hare not less than <450,00 next year for current expenses and about an equal amount to carry out the needed building program at Terre Haute and Muncie. The seven cent tax levy will enable the school to follow out its program, he said. . President W, E. Stone, of Purdue university said that the money which will be asked for will be “trifling as compared with otter 'drafts on the state treasury.” The money spent for Purdue’s maintenance, Dr. Stone said, “is returned to the commonwealth many fold, whether in the form of trained leaders in every phase of industrial and business activity or in the form of scientific research with which improved practice and proggress in agriculture, industry and public service is secured.” He declared that unless suitable funds were provided, the university would again be compelled to limit its enrollment as was done this year.

PURDUE CARRIES OFF STOCK SHOW HONORS

Purdue university again won the premier honors of the International five stock exposition for the third time in four years by showing the grand champion steer, “Black Ruler,” a pure-bred Aberdeen Angus. The Purdue winnings have set a new record in the annals of the biggest stock show m America, as was sired October 11, 1918, and went into the show ring weighing judging team carried <*e hongs m the W IP points behind.
