Lafayette, Iml., August 7. Barley is an efficient feed for nogs when fed with tankage, and is almost equal to corn in fattenings hog- for market, according to results obtained in two feeding trials, the second of which has just been completed at the Purdue University Experiment Station. “To secure information on the comparative values of corn and Indiana grown barley and on methods of feeding barley to fattening hogs, six lot, of 125-pound shoats were fed for sixty days” said C. M. Vestal of th^ animal husbandry stall who had charge of the feeding. “Two lots were fed corn and tankage, two lots barley and tankage and two lots corn, barley and tankage. There were eight hogs in each lot and all were self fed. In three of the lots the feeds were mixed before being put into the feeder and in the other three the hogs were given their
choice.”
The results show that: The usual rating of !»0 per cent of corn efficiency is a safe standard for barley when fattening hogs. In this trial barley was more than !»0 percent as efficient as corn. Hogs fed barley and tankage according to appetite (in separate compartments of the self-feeder) ate an 1 excessive amount of tankage.

ASK
$18,000 SUIT AGAINST ZINC COMPANY
Nicholas L. Heinz and William V. Heinz, constructing engineers, who built the American Zinc Products Company plant cast of town have through their attorneys, Myers, (late? Ralston, filed suit against the American Zinc Products Company in the Putnam circuit court asking" the
publican leaders fear to have the
public know?
That is a question heard daily among members of Congress now that Gillett and Representative Mondell, Republican floor leader, have smothered every attempt to get before the House the Igoe resolutions proposing an immediate investigation into shoe
prices.
T he resolution was deprived of some of its force by amendments added to it by a Republican committee. Representative Igoe proposed that a report should be made by the federal trade commission in thirty day>. The committee struck out the time limit over Igoe’s protest. Then the resolution came to the floor of the House with assurance of practically la solid Democratic minority and sufficient Republican support to rush it to
adoptior.
Speaker Gillett and Representative Mondell about tiliat time had arranged a plan whereby the House would take a “vacation” even in disregard of the request of the President that the members stay on the job and study the high cost of living. Igoe’s resolution would have required ten minutes for consideration. Igoe refused to give his consent to a vacation until he was assured his resolution would be passed. He made this plain to the House and then was ruthlessly ruled off the floor along with former Speaker Clark, who came to his as-
sistance.
Some of Bhe Republican papers in the East, and even in St. Louis, printed a statement that Giilett’s attitude toward the Igoe resolution may have been caused by the fact that he had large shoe manufacturers in his

Mondei! feared the inquiry might develop something that would require Republication action against the interests that party thas always served. But the public sentiment now aroused to the question of the high cost of living is not going to be mollified with efforts to hide evidence. One letter which came to Representative Igoe today was from a large shoe merdhant in New York City. He praises the idea, insisted it would be found that profiteers were at work without conscience, ami that nothing would he found to justify the proposed increase in the price of shoes. Utters, telegrams and visitors are coming to Washington every day to inform Igoe they are ready to support him and to urge him to fight Gillett and Mondell to the last stand. Gillett now insists his only reason for refusing Igoe’s permission to get his resolution before the Housesomething which by the way is guaranteed by all law and precedent nnd never before was refused by a Speaker—is that Igoe tried to force his will upon the House. The Republicans having decided upon a “rest,” wanted to get away for five weeks, and their plans had been completed

napolis to file the suit.
The Heinz brothers in their complaint allege that in September, 1017, they were engaged by Warren Kerr, acting for the American Zinc Products Company, to build the mill and that it was agreed in contract that they were to receive $40,000 for their
work.
They allege that only $30,000 this amount was paid fthem and that the y did additional work amounting to $7,000 for which they did not
ceive compensation.
Last August the men filed a r chanic’s lien against the property the plant for the amount they allege is due them and they now are filing suit asking that a lien he foreclosed and that they be awarded judgment of $18,000, which included interest on the amount alleged to he due them.

“The war department (has today decided to stop the campaign for public building throughout the United States, it is today announced
Colonel Arthur Woods, the secretary of war.
This decision was taken because the decrease of unemployment in many localities has been so marked that some difficulty is reported in obtaining soldier labor for the normal industrial operations. It is therefore considered that the further stimulation of public building at this time
would be inadvisable.
The energies devoted in the past to the stimulation of public building it was further decided, will now ’be turned particularly into assisting professional and technical men in finding jobs. The work of placing this class of ex-soldiers presents unusual difficulties because the demand for the high grade of ability possessed by these men is not at present in such ffreat demand os ordinary labor. An active campaign, however, is being conducted to secure information from trade associations, technical societies professional societies and large employers with a view to finding all possible opportunities for discharged army , men who qualify in this way.
