SOUND CHINCH DUG WAKNING
INDIANAPOLIS. July 16.—Chinch bugs, one of the most devastating insect pests preying on farm crops, are migrating into many Indiana fields and it is difficult to estimate the damage that they will cause if not controlled, Frank N. Wallace, entomolog ist under the state department of con
servation says.
Three weeks ago the department warned of the presence of the pest then predominate in considerable num bers in various parts of the state, and cautioned unless preventive measures were employed the hugs would leave the wheat and rye fields and move to the young com. Reports now reaching the department say that migration is in progress. One farmer living north of Indianapolis reports the bugs left his neighbor’s rye field, ems sod the road and are in his corn field

MISTAKES AND PLEADS WITH LEGISLATORS TO GIVE “CUT AND DRIED" PROGRAM RIGHT
OF WAY
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., July 15.— Within just a little more than one year after the seventy first general assembly, which Governor Goodrich had characterized as “the best Legislature in fifty years." had adjourned the governor was obliged to stand before the second special session of his regime and confess that the states affairs were in a disordered tangle as a result of the legislation passed
in the regular session.
According to men who have attended many assembly sessions, it was a most humiliating spectacle to see the governor go before both houses and plead with them to rectify the mistakes they had made and that the legislators themselves sensed the situation was evident from the smatter-
generai assembly, and has not been such a member since the time he ac-
cepted the new office.

His resignation was offered, it is generally understood, under the belief that Governor Goodrich will re-appoint him

The concluding lines in Gov. Goodrich’s message in which he expressed the desire that his “ Important measures may receive the undivided attention of the general assembly and that its deliberations may be concluded at the earliest possible moment” droped on unsympathetis ears. Accord ing to expressions dropped by members of the assembly, the governor’s appeal for a right of way for his own crowd program will meet with resistance, but it is evident that the admin istration crowd is in the majority and will run close to the line drawn by
the state executive.
Few of the legislators, save for the favored ones, had seen the hills prepared hy the governor until they assembled here Monday and hoard his message. The Republican candidates for state offices had already approved of the program under the dictation of Mr. McCray, hut no opinions had been sought from the taw makers them-
selves.
It is said to be the first time in the Legislative history of the state that a governor has prepared a program, drafted his own hills and called the assembly together with a plain and direct request for them to enact his ideas into law and then adjourn. The governor plainly indicated in

HYDE PARK, N. Y„ July 13.— Franklin I). Roosevelt, Democratic vice presidential nominee, was given a noisy and affectionate greeting by his towspeople.here today upon his arrival from San Francisco. Democrats and Republicans alike joined in
the welcome.
Mr. Roosevelt deeply touched, informed his neighbors that the ceremonies attending his official notification of the nomination would be held here, the first week in August. The
department, has been enmeshed in an adroit political move engineered by Goodrich. It is said that the governo". now that he has Eschbach's resignation in his hands, may threaten to appoint another man in his place unless he follows executive orders in expediting the Goodrich hills. Esehbach. now fearing the loss of his office, is expected to follow the governor's bidding, acording to his close friends. In protesting against the selection of Esehbach Representative Axby se? out the following rules: “No person shall hold more than one lucrative office at the same time. Constitution of Indiana. Art.

Another member of the House, Truman P. Tillman of Boonville representing Vanderburg and Warlock counties, is also said to be an employe of the State board of Tax Commission ers. Tillman, however, has not made a technical resignation and according to information about the House is still holding two lucrative positions under the state. The right of Governor Goodrich to defy the state constitution hy not cal! ing special elections to fill three vacancies in the state senate was questioned hy Senator Edward P. Elsnor (of Seymour. He presented a resolution asking that a committee be nam cd to inquire of the governor why the vacancies had not been filled. The motion was defeated hy the republican majority however.

The condition of the downtown ai- ! leys in Grencastle is deplorable.

Tliis matter was brought beforo the | city council ea-ly in the spring and the chief of police was ordered to notify the property owners in the downtown business district that unless the trash in the alleys was cleaned up and hauled away that the city would do so and charge it to the property owners.
