Egg prices averaged higher in 1925 thah in any year since 1920, according to a review of the Blue Valley Creamery institute. Production was practically the same this year as last, but consumption was larger. In fact the supply cannot catch up with the demand for two years at least. Abundant corn and oat crops will lower feed costs and the margin of profit to egg producers will increase. Winter egg production will probably*

Across the Desk With Busy Men No Increase in Bad Checks Noted During the Holidays. +0 ' By Rader Winget ((!_, | HERE has been no increase I. in the number of bad checks t x I passed during the holidays as far as we can determine,’’ said Ralph K. Smith, cashier of the Fletcher American National Bank. Forgeries and bad checks come to the notice of the Indianapolis banks at all times during, the year, but there has been no marked increase during the Christmas holidays, Smith said. The people who pass bad paper are the professional crooks and transient residents and about the same number of this type are found all during the year. More men pass bad checks than women, Smith said. Miss Forba McDaniels, secretary of the Indiana Bankers’ Association, says the number of bad checks passed in 1925 was less than those passed in 1924* A decrease in forgeries has also been noted by Miss McDaniels. A greater number of men than women try to get by without funds in the bank and they are comparatively more successful than the members of the weaker sex. “But sometimes one finds a woman who is far more successful in her attempts than any man,” said Miss McDaniel. % ___________ Pr— J ROFIT-SHARING and Christmas bonuses amountnig to more than $500,000 were distributed by S. W. Straus & Cos. to members of its organization in Chicago, New York, San Francisco and branch offices. These bonuses consisted of the company’s contributions to the Profit-Sharing and Thrift Sociey, the Mutalization and ProfitSharing Fund and Christmas bonuses based on a graduated scale for length of service with the company. General conditions prevailing in the hardware industry are entirely favorable, according to reports from various market centers to Hardware Age. It is generally agreed 1925 business will be in excess of last year. The sale of Christmas merchandise has been good and some retailers are looking forward to one of the best seasons in years. The unusual interest in spring lines indicates that retail stocks are low and that buyers are not postponing their orders in expectation of lower prices. Indications point to an upward revision of schedules, particularly iron and steel. Collections are satisfactory and in; dieative of the generally improved business conditions throughout the CO*tnr.

exceed that of last year, since Dec. 1 receipts in leading cities were slightly larger than for the same period last year. The decline from the peak of fall figures, however, came earlier than usual and' carried prices below the same period of 1924. Trade receipts generally indicate more poultry on farms than a year ago, but receipts of eggs failed to show any comparative increase. November prices almost reached the 67 cent peak of January, 1924.

SCHOOL N I G H T H A WK-A tt FT no o Bird That Is a Living X-i X O Insect Trap. -—copyright, Compton'* Pictured Encyclopedia Feature Service

SHE “high-divc” is this bird's i specialty. With wings almost folded, he will plunge downward from a height of several hundred set until within a few feet of a housetop or on the ground; then with a sudtjen spreading of his wings, he checks his dizzy descent and swoops upward, to repeat the thrilling exhibition over and over. No satisfactory explanation of this trick has been found. Some observers believe the nighthawk is pouncing upon an Insect, but if this is the case his power of sight must be almost beyond comprehension, and why would he repeat the dive again and again? This bird has a great frog-like mouth that from ear to ear. During flight It is held wide agape and like a trap catches in vast numbers the winged insects on which th® bird feeds. The stomach of one bird was found to contain the remains of 1,800 flying ants, and another the remains of thirty-four June-bugs. Curiously enough, the beak that goes with this great mouth consists merely of a tiny tip, less than a half-inch In length. , The nighthawk belongs to the same family as the whippoorwill. To speak of it as a "hawk" is most misleading, for the bird has neither the disposition nor the appearance of a hawk. The nickname “goatsucker” and “bull-bat” are no more apt, but the term "night-jar," often applied to, it might describe the effect either of the booming "sounds made by the rush of air through •the taut feathers of the wings during Its spectacular dive, or of the sharp "pee-ent” it utters as It circles through the dusk of the evening. The large wings of the nighthawks are quite out of proportion to their robbin-sized bodies. The plumage is a mixture of black, gray, brown and buff, almost Invisible against the bark of a tree. When

PROHIBITION IS HAILED GREAT' ACHIEVEMENT Shumaker Raps Criminal Court for Inefficiency in Decision. Th 6 greatest social, educational and economic uplift ever given to a free people came to Indiana and the Nation, when it was decided to part company forever with the beverage traffic in intoxicating liquor, in the opinion of Dr. E. S. Shumaker, Indiana Anti-Saloon Leagu? superintendent. Shumaker said citizens should view with alarm the proposal to discontinue the police booze squads under Captain William Paulsel. He •harged the abolishment of special (quads would dreak down the enforcement of prohibition. Sentences Suspended Shumaker scored the Marion County Criminal Court for leniency in liquor cases appealed from city court. Days and fines have been suspended and costs assessed in many rases, Shumaker said. The largest number of acquittals are due to the sanctity with which the court regards the Fourtii Constitutional amendment, and scoring of county and city offieiers for making such alleged illegal arrests. Only 111 of 590 convictions in courts served penal farm sentences, showing something radically wrong, Shumaker said statistics showed. “Liquor interests asserted prohibition would be the ruination of outcountry in a business way. We learn that the value of manufacturing products in Indianapolis in 1914 was $139,700,000; in 1919, $398,666,000; In 1922, >425,250,000; in 1923, $455,898,000,’’ Shumaker said. ‘‘We also learn that in 1914, $87,669,000 was invested in industry in Indianapolis. In 1919 the amount was $207,644,000; in 1922, $220,260,000, while in 1923 the amount was $226,600,000. More Employes “In 1914, employes in Industry in this city numbered 30,971. In 3919, 52,000; in 1922, 56,002; in 1923, 59,286. “The manufacturing firms In Indianapolis in 1914 equalled 800. In 1919, 1,004; in 1922, 1,215; in 1923, 1,250. “Bank clearings In this city in 1915 amounted to about $500,000,000} in 1923 to $1,000,000,000. “Postoffice receipts in Indianapolis in 1915 were somewhat less than $2,000,000; in 1923 about $3,500,000., “Assessed valuation of property in Indianapolis in 1915 was about $200,750,000; while in 1923 it was over $600,000,000. “The enormous growth of the automobile business, which unquestionably is caused in a large measure by prohibition, the improvement of the public highways, the great increase in bank deposits and depositors, the wonderful growth of life Insurance and many other lints of business prosperity, these undoubtedly owe In largo measure their growth and prosperity to the fact that men are now spending their money for the necessities and comforts of life instead of for booze. More Building “In Indianapolis, for example, the average number of buildirg permits from 1914 to 1917 equalled 5,932 each year. In spite of the falling off in building activities during the World War, there was, between the years 1918 to 1925, an average number of building permit:* per year of 10,532. This is an increase of 77.5 per cent over the wet period. The average expenditures on new building enterprises in Indianapolis from 3914 to 1917 was $7,766,129.00. From 3918 to 1925 the average expenditures in building enterprises amounted to $*7,981,466 per year, this being an Increase of $10,215,337 per year in excess over the average expenditures during the wet period, or of 131.5 per cent.’’

in flight a patch of white is conspicuous 'on each wing, distinguishing them from their relatives, the whippoorwill. Their legs are small and weak, so they sleep fitting lengthwise on limbs instead oi& sidewise as moat birds do. Nighthawks rest in gravelly places —in open fields or on large flat rockaf —sometimes or gravel roofs in cities. They lay two grayish-white eggs spotted with black. They breed throughout eastern North America! from southern Yukon to the northern Gulf States. Thefcr winter in South America. The night hawk belongs, like the whippoorwill, to the goatsucker family, which is related to the swift and humming bird families. Compton’s Pictured Encyclopedia Let us show it to you in your home.
