CARRIERS VIE FOR PATRONAGE TO STATE FAIRS Reduce Rates and Prepare j to Handle Large Crowds. That the steam and interurban | roads of Indiana are getting bacS to •‘normalcy,’’ and that the passenger ageDts hare revived their pre-war energy I Is made evident in the sharp rivalry that j Is developing for passengers to the Indiana State Fair next week. For the first time in about six years both the > railroads and trolley lines have made concessions in passenger rates to the | fair, and while the reduction on the j lines Is practically the same—one and j one-half fare for the round trip—the steam line passenger agents have their scouts at work In interurban territory, j while the trolley passenger men are j hustling to hold not only their usual fair } patronage but to grab all from the steam j roads they can. The Monon and Lake Erie & Western j passenger agents have some advantage j over steam roads, since their lines pass | the gates of the State fairgrounds. Both I of these roads will operate special trains j during fair week. The fair management is expecting many : thousand visitors to come to the exposition In their automobiles nun j arrangements have been made for them by expanding motor car facilities on the ground. All of the drives have been scarrified, rolled and oiled. Koadways ; from the south and east gates to park- ; lng-fields have been graveled and rolled. 1 About fifty acres of parking space on the west and east side of Jhe ground, as well as north of the race track, will be open to motorists and about 20,000 "ars I a da.ff con be provided for. Several carloads ot ground tanbark Lave been spread in the aisles of the j livestock barns, some new footpaths of cinders have been made, and with the j large permanent buildings now available the fair will be In position to provide for visitors whether the weather be fair or foul. CLEAN-UP SQUAD MAKES RECORD Takes Six Days to End Case Pending for Two Years. Adjustment of a claim for compensation in six days that hud been pending .for more than two years, is the enviable record made by the clean-up squad of the United States veterans' bureau in the case of Henry B. Knue, 112 Garfield avenue, who (luring the world war was a saddler in Company C, 22d Engineers. Knue was discharged from service July 11, 191!), and shortly after that applied for compensation for disability incurred during the war. The case dragged along interminably and he was unable to get anywhere with it. Aug. 24 he called at the offices of the clean-up squad in the Meridian Life Building and his case was taken up Immediately. Aug. 29 he received a letter from the bureau at Washington stating that he had been granted compensation of S9O a month and would receive a check covering back payments from November, 1919.

GROCERS AWAIT DEMAND BEFORE WRAPPING GOODS Hesitate in Anticipating the Needs of Modern Housewife. Great piles of sacked beans, sugar, flour and other staple commodities, weighed out, ready for instant delivery to the trade, are not now found on the shelves of Indianapolis groceries, inspec- j tors of the city weights and measures de- \ partment report to Chief Inspector Edward McGuff. They give this as the reason why the number of articles reweighed by them daring their routine in- j spections of scales and packages in food ' handling establishments during the] month of August was only 1.752 as compared with 2.779 during August, 1920. Mr. McGuff said he believes the grocers for several months have been buying in smaller quantities and, therefore, they do not have the surplus stocks to put into ready packages in advance of “calls from customers. The Inspectors will complete the annual inspection of every business house using weights and measures of any kind in the city by about Oct. 10, Mr. McGuff said. Purchase of an automobile for the department this year has helped speed up tbe work. Citizens generally have made broader use of the department this year than heretofore, said the chief inspector. Many persons starting in business now call the department and ask that an inspector be sent to Inspect their scales and measures before they are used, instead of waiting until the inspector comes around on his regulnr call. Frequently the inspectors find that scales are adjusted so as to make mistakes in favor of the customer, so that many merchants feel they are protecting themselves by having the city inspection as early and often as possible. Manufacturers have started using the department recently. One firm had a controversy with a St. Louis metal jobber over the weight of two car loads of spelter. The local company claimed the two cars were Sll pounds short, representing a difference of about $36 in price. The weights and measures department was called to test the contents of the ears and found the local firm to be correct. This decision was accepted by the St. Louis people and the Indianapolis concern was given the requested discount.
