MORE FOODSTUFF BEING PRODUCED World Crops Increase Steadily Since End of War, NEW YORK. April s.—The outturn of the principal classes of food produced direct from the soil in the countries for which records are available slowly, but steadily has increased since the war, and their 1922 food crops seem likely to exceed in the aggregate that of any year since 1915, in which so many men were transferred from the farm to the battlefield. The International Institute of Agriculture'at Rome has announced a recorded world wheat crop for 1922 of 2.932.000,000 bushels against 2,288.000,000 in the year' preceding the close of the war, and reports from the Department of Agriculture at Washington indicate that the recorded production of rye. barley and potatoes in 1922 will also exceed that of last year and stand materially above that of 1917. “In fact,” says the National City Bank. In a survey of world crops, “the reports on world production of the seven great food articles —wheat, rye. rice, potatoes, com, barley and oats —indicate a grand aggregate for the reporting countries in 1922 larger than that of any year since that which followed the opening of the war. These figures for 1921-22, it should be understood, relate only to those countries for which reports have been bad during and since the war and are not comparable with those of pre-war years which included Russia, Turkey and other areas for which figures are not now available." FIVE RAIL COMPANIES FIGURE IN MERGER Consolidation Involves Total Capital of $105,500,000. Notice of consolidation of five railroad companies crossing Indiana at various points, representing total capital of $105,500,000, into the New York, Chicago & St. Louis Railroad Company, was filed today with Ed Jackson, secretary of State. Decision to consolidate the roads was made at a meeting of respective directors of the companies. Chicago, Dec. 28. The merging companies were the original New York. Chicago and St. Louis Railway Company, the Chicago and State Line Railway Company, the Lake Erie & Western Railway Company, the Fort Wayne. Cincinnati & Louisville Railway Company and the Toledo. St. Louis & Western Ral sway Company.

CANADA RESENTS ‘DRY SHIP’ RULE United States Threatens to Confiscate Boats, By C. C. LYON ‘ WASHINGTON, April 5. The United Shipping Board has enunciated the doctrine that any and all ships it may sell to foreign buyers must remain “hone dry” to the ast day -of their usefulness, if the ships are used in trade with the United States. A note from the Canadian government at Ottawa, protests, saying, “If a Canadian buys one of your boats and registers it in Canada, what can prevent hiri\ from doing as he pleases with It?" “But we’ll confiscate the boat if we catch him bringing booze in it to the United States,” replies this Government. “We’ll see about that." says Canada. And there the matter is pending, while the wise men of the State departments of the two countries argue. The ontroversy started when the United States Shipping Board, in selling a boat to a Canadian recently, wrote into the sale contract that the boat would be subject to "libel, forfeiture. and seizure” if It engaged in carrying booze to an American port. “We would prefer.” says a note from the Canadian government, “that the United tates Shipping Board should refuse altogether to permit the transfer of vessels to Canadian registry rather than to continue the policy of Issuing conditional permits.” AMERICANS IN CHOIR Four Students Sing at Coronation Anniversary.

Dodson, Republicans, and Daniel Dunham, Democrat. John E. Shearer, vice president, though present, said he had come prepared not to vote for anything he did not know about. George N. Montgomery and Frank E. Brown were the other two present. “It's been the same thing every time we have met, Mr. Fesler,” said Shearer, who spoke for' his absent companions. “The county council does not know a thing about what it is supposed to do until it meets. "When we asked the county comwhom we understand approve items in budget, about certain increases recom-' mended in deputy officers’ pay, they said they didn't know anything about It.” “Papers Only Source" Shearer said he was dissatisfied because all the information he could get in advance of the meeting was numerous newspaper stories on “big projects costing hundreds of thousands of dollars” which the council would be asked to approve. “There are 165 deputy assessors in Center Township who were not paid last week and now won’t be paid.” Fesler said in 'explaining how the “revolt” would hold up county administration. Appropriations of $45,000 were to be passed by the council for the assessor’s office, the budget showed. •Well, some county officials undoubtedly knew the assessment would lie done in the spring, and why wasn’t this meeting called in time to prevent such emergency?” Shearer asked. Previously in January Meetings in past years have been held in January, but are subject to cal! only by the county auditor. "Politics.” Fester commented. *'T am not in politics, and never was." said Edwards, leader of the “revolt." in an interview. "We are trying to protect taxpayers and know where this money will go.” Linton Cox, attorney representing Fairbanks, More & Cos., whicl^MfcL|^ fun ■ Fy the workhouse, site, was forced to defer laying liisi p Vi* before the council. Propositions which Fesler said were to have been “discussed only” included building a colored orphans’ home, sale of the twenty acres, erection of a county home for court wards.
