BAD ROADS CAUSE HOG PRICE JUMP

SOME OF STOCK OART PRESSURE STILL EVIDENT U. S. Steel and Motor Issues, However, Open Higher. Average Stock Prices Average price of twenty industrial stocks for Saturday was 156.33. up .13. Average price of twenty rails was 109.70, off .10. Bn United- Pres* NEW YORK, Jan. 18.—The market opened with gome of the pressure which was so evident during the last half hour on Saturday, lifting United States Steel up y a to 133% and then advanced it to 134. General Motors sold at 117 up Iy a and Hudson, which was badly hammered Saturday, opened up 1~/ a at 110. Undoubtedly there has been a lot of short selling in Steel and some of the motors, but on the other hand, a lot of profits have been accumulated in some of the motors, and the opening of the new year has induced many to take at least part of their paper profits. l The rails were neglected in the |early trading, but the .copper and fertilizer shares maintained their recent firm tone. Slackening of the recovery in the main body of stocks occurred around noon, but the general list maintained a. confiden tone and advances continued in special issues. Western Union reached anew high for the year at 142, up 214 from Saturday’s close. The advance reflected attention called by Dow-Jones & Cos. to a possibility of substantial special distribution to shareholders. Foundation Company also stood out, running up 3*4 points to 175. Strength was based on the expectation of a split up of the present shares on an attractive basis later this year. Optimistic reports concering the condition of W. C. Durant, who is rapidly recovering from injuries, led to renewed activities in U. S. Cast Iron Pipe, which recovered to 201, against Saturday’s close* of 192%. Another factor in Pipe's move is the expectation that directors will consider placing the common stock on a devidend basis at theii; meeting this week. Local Bank Clearings Indianapolis bank clearings today were *4.298.000. Debits were $7,987,000.

Jan. 18. —Little change in the prices of sugar futures is expected to occur this week although there has been no incentive to put the market up recently, on the other hand, no important pressure has been exerted. In the spot market sales have continued around the 2 11-32 cent level. The policy seems to be so far as the refiners are concerned to buy only for immediate needs. The large demand for Javas has little significance except as it indicites $ rather active foreign demand at thl9 particular in-between season for the Cuban crop.

B 'CHICAGO?Jan. 17.—Fractional recessions in opening grain trade here today was believed to reflect lack of confidence in the underlying conditions of the market. Lower cables and beneficial rains over the winter belt, brought scattered wheat selling by commission -houses. Selling in corn was caused by wheat's decline and belief that receipts at terminals will show a sizeable increase. Oats sagged with other grains.

UPDIKE FLAYS BRYSON BEFORE SENATE BOARD Reads Letters, Charging Local Postmaster With ‘lnefficiency/ Times Staff Corresoondent WASHINGTON, Jan. 18.—Representative Updike today read letters to the Senate Pastoffice Committee from Indianapolis residents charging Postmaster Robert H. Bryson of Indianapolis with inefficiency and political activity contrary to postal regulations, while in office. He also read a letter asserting that R. D.. Brown, Indianapolis, had been granted many leases for postal substations, and that it was virtually impossible for any other person to secure a lease. The committee was hearing Updyke’s protest of Bryson's reappointment. Postmaster General New characterized the statement in the last letter as irresponsible and reckless. He said that the other letters received by Updyke opposing Bryson evidently were form letters sent out from a central source. New Answers “In one case, I am informed that the person signing the letters, which attacked Bryson were under the impression that they were signing letters in favor of the appointment of Frank C. Houston as postmaster,” New said. “Many of the other persons signing the letters cannot be located In the Indianapolis telephone directory, and in one case the signature is that of a Negro elevator boy," said New. Updyke also charged that he had been “urtfatrly discriminated against,” because he had not been allowed to recommend the postmaster. “It is the President's duty to recommend postmasters,” ' said New. “The Congressman has no such right.” Updyke read a letter from C. H. Strauss, an Indianapolis postoffice employee, attacking the administration of the postoffice cafeteria, and charging that Bryson holds stock in it, contrary, he said, to postal regulations. New rettorted by reading Strauss' record, showing a steady promotion. “He has no cause for comprint of Bryson,” he said. New also said no postmaster in the country has a more efficient record than Bryson. The committee took the contest under advisement.

SCHOOL _ PEANUT— One of the HELPS -Most Useful of Plants. 1 1 “ Copyright. Compton'# Pictured EncyJopaio restore Servleo ———

rr=n RESH-ROASTF.D, doublejH J jointed, jumbo peanuts! „\Z —I Peanut brittle! Salted peanuts'” cries the circus man with the big basket on his arm, or the boy merchant at the baseball game. But this does not tell half the fascinating story of the peanut. It is one of t he uiose useful of plants. From the appetizing and useful nuts we get peanut oil for cooking and peanut .butter for our sandwiches. Peanut oil is also used largely as a salad dressing in place of olive oil, which it clqsely resembles, and for soap making; oleomargarine, packing sardines, etc. For feeding and fattening stock, the vine is almost equal to the be'fet clover hay. Peanut flulls have the value of coarse hay, and the thin skin that covers the nut itself can be used in the place of wheat bran in cattle fodder. Finally, the roots of the plant, if left in the soil, enrich it with valuable nitrogen products. There is thus very little about DRY CZAR WARS ON DRUB STORE WHISKY SALES Regional Directors Ordered to Revoke Permits of ‘Bootleggers.’ Bu United Press WASHINGTON, Jan. 18.—Assistant Secretary of the Treasury Andrews, dry czar, today ordered his twenty-three regional prohibition administrators to war on bootleg druggists. In a letter to his lieutenants, Andrews urged revoking of permits of druggists who connive with bootleggers and outlined methods of obtaining evidence against the illicit trader*. “Administrator Baird has proposed. for his district, (Western and Central Pennsylvania) so lift simultaneously from every drug store in a given city, one pint of its medicinal whisky; then test this whisky for purity and, where he finds the druggist handling split whisky or other than absolutely'pure bottled In bond whisky to revoke his permit,” Andrews wrote. “He will then publish the names of druggists handling genuine bottled in bond whisky so .Lhe public will know where it may be purchased for medicinal purposes. DRUG STORES WATCHED Permits to Sell Alcohol to Be Revoked in Cases of Violations. Liquor can not be sold in Indiana for medicinal purposes, A. R.‘ Harris, deputy Federal prohibition administrator, said today, but agents will watch drug stores that have Government permits to obtain and sell dlcobo). Permits will be ‘ revoked if law violations are discovered, Harris said. FRATERNITY ELECTS Alpha Eta Pi Fraternity Initiates Eight New Members.

the peanut plant that cannot be used in som# way or other. The food value of the nuts, long eaten merely as a relish, is only beginning to be appreciated. They contain “per pound more protein than a pound of sirloin steak, plus more carbohydrates than a pound of potatoes, plus one-third as much fat as a pound of butter—an amazing total.” Unlike dairy products and meat, the nuts keer without deterioration for years. The United States Department of Agriculture urges the use of peanut meal as a meat sub stitute, in soups and mixed with other meals and flours in. griddle cakes, muffins, etc. The peanut plant is remarkable for the way it produces its fruit. ,\ft'i the flowers have fallen, the dower stalks bend down and push into the ground, where the pods or “nutß” develop. From this it is called the groundnut, earthnut and ground pea a goober in various localities. The plant grows from the Brazilian tropics, whare it originated, to Virginia and Argentina, and from Senegal to China. Because it can endure long drought and grow when rail* comes, it is of special value in semi-arid regions, as the Southwest of the United States. The yield per acre is from thirty-four to sixty bushels of nuts in the shell, with a ton to a ton and a half of good hay. If an acre of land can produce twenty bushels of wheat, forty bushels of oats or forty bushels of peanuts,, it will yield 164 pounds of digestible protein in the wheat, 149 in the oats, or 186 in the peanuts, and twenty-four pounds of fat In the wheat, sixty-one pounds in the oats, and 300 pounds in the peanuts. Although most of the peanut crop in the United States is used as human food, it has been found very profitable to “sell peanuts as pork.” Under this plan, the tops of the plants are cut and gathered for hay, then hogs are turned into the field, where they root up the nuts and eat them, gaining weight rapidly with this diefr. Since about the time of the Civil War the peanut has been grown in the southern states in increasing quantities. In many cases, especially the boll-weevil district, it is more profitable than cotton. The American peanut is larger and finerflavored than any other, but contains less oil than the African nut. Two types chiefly grown in the United States, the large-podded white or red or white peanut, with two, three, even four kernels; aid the Spanish or African small-podded pea/nut whiph produces small roundish peanuts of milder flavor. The crop in the United States is about 20,000,000 bushels (88,000,000 pounds) a year. The world crop Is 600,000,000.
