INDIANA WHEAT ACREAGE LEAST j SSNCETS WAR Purdue Report Indicates yield of 7,910,000 Against 27,621,000 in 1927. By Timex Special LAFAYETTE, Ind., May 15.—Only 791,000 acres of winter wheat is left for harvest in Indiana, the smallest acreage since the Civil War, according to the State crop report released today by the department of agricultural statistics of the Purdue University agricultural experiment station, working in cooperation with the United States Department of Agriculture. A loss of 65 per cent of the wheat crop sown in the State during thepast season is reported, the highest percentage of loss since reports have been compiled. 1,569,000 Acres Abandoned A total of 1,569,000 acres seeded has been abandoned, the largest loss of acreage in the history of the State with the exception of 1900, when it was sightly exceeded, but in that year there was a much larger acretage sown. Comments generally indicate that the loss has been due to sharp drops in temperature, reaching or going below zero, following precipitation which came as rain instead of snow. Apparently little of the loss has been due to heaving, which in other years has proven destructive. Crop Condition Poor The reported crop condition of 52 per cent is the lowest since 1912. The condition indie? tes a yield of ten bushels per acre on the acreage still standing or 7,910,000 bushels of wheat compared with 27,621,000 last year and a ten-year average of 31,381,000 bushels. Rye is also reported low, 61 per cent of a normal, lower by fifteen points than that of 1899 and 1904, which are the next lowest in the past forty years. The indicated yield from this condition is 9.16 bushels per acre, compared with 13.6 last year and a ten-year average of 13.7. The production forecast is 806,000 bushels compared with 1,618,000 bushels last year and ten-year average of 3,483,000 bushels.

CHINA’S TANGLE WAITS MOVE OF WORLDPOWERS U. S. Watchful as Tokio and Pekin Turn to League for Aid. BY WILLIAM PHILIP SIMMS Scripps-Howard Foreign Editor WASHINGTON, May 15.—Japan having gained control of both sides of the civil war in China as well as the country from the Yellov, r River to the Siberian border, the whole future history of the Far East row depends upon what steps, if any, the other powers will take to loosen her grip. At present there are indications that the League of Nations may intervene. The Nationalist Government has officially requested it to do so and it is intimated that Tokio may act independently to lay the Japanese case before the Geneva body. . * But what would be the most significant move of all is rumored from Pekin. There the Northern dictator, Tso-Lin, the very man against whom the Nationalists are j waging a civil war to oust, is said to desire league intervention to put ' a check to Japanese aggression—- ! though this aggression for the moment helps him. Lesson for Chang Though Chang has been the fair haired boy of Tokio for years, this would not be as surprising as it might seem. There can be no doubt that all China is flaming with the spirit of the new Nationalism, the north as well as the south, and Chang, having caught the fever, may conceivably seize this occasion to cut the strings which have made him the jumping-jack of Japan. In fact. Marshal Chang has shown himself so independent of late that lready there is talk in Japan ot "teaching him a lesson.” Time and again in the past two or three years he has angrily clashed with the Japanese. Incidentally this new feud between Chang Tso-Lin and the Japanese government may have no small bearing on the outcome of the crisis in China. U. S. Alert to Crisis Meanwhile Washington is watching events in the Orient more closely, perhaps, than may appear on the surface. Speaking at Philadelphia over the week-end. Dr. Stanley F. Hornbeck, chief of the Far Eastern division of the State Department, while omitting any reference to Japan, took occasion to say: “It can not be expected that the American Government will look with favor upon measures tending to break up China or establish an atmosphere of influence there.” Furthermore he remarked that this Government is “averse to any course which smacks of aggression” i in China, which, coming at this stage of the Japanese-Chinese crisis, can hardly fail to be regarded as significant.

Evidence in the civil suit in which the Minter Coal and Coke Company, 130 S. California St., was awarded $2,029.27 from the London and Lincolnshire Indemnity Compan /, in Superior Court Four will be turned over to the Marion County grand jury, Judge Byron K. Elliott announced today. The award was made in a sealed verdict returned by the Superior Court jury Monday, and opened today.

HOOSIER STIRS DEEP INTEREST OF SCIENTISTS Butler Graduate Asserts Bacteria Not Essential to Life. By Timex Special ANDERSON, Ind., May 15.—Mrs. Helen McDonald Steinfeld, a graduate of the Anderson High School and of Butler University, Indianapolis, has aroused interest of scientists by asserting she can offer proof that bacteria are not essential to life. She is a daughter of Mrs. Hunter McDonald, Anderson. Announcement of Mrs. Steinfleld’s discovery came after three years research and experimentation. She declares flies surrounded by 100 per cent antiseptic conditions lived 69 per cent longer than those under less sanitary conditions. From the time of Pasteur, great French scientists, who pronounced the microbe theory, the question of whether or not bacteria are essential to life has been much discussed. Mrs. Steinfeld, a teaching fellow in the department of zoology, University of California, Berkeley, worked out her bacteria theory as part of her efforts to obtain a doctor’s degree. A book written on the theory by its discoverer is now being used as a text at the university. BLAST INJURED IMPROVE Inquiry Fails to Reveal Cause of Explosion at Kokomo.

What Dr. Caldwell Learned in 47 Years Practice

Dr. Caldwell watched the results of constipation for 47 years, and believed that no matter how careful people are of their headth, diet and exercise, constipation will occur from time to time, regardless of how much one tries to avoid it. Os next importance, then, is how to treat it when it comes. Dr. Caldwell always was in favor of getting as close to nature as possible, hence his remedy for constipation, known as Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin, is a mild vegetable compound. It can not harm the most delicate system and is not a habit forming preparation. Syrup Pepsin is pleasant-tast-ing, and youngsters love it. It does not gripe. Thousands of mothers have written us to that effect. Dr. Caldwell did not approve of drastic physics and purges. He did not believe they were good for human beings to put into their system. In a practice of 47 years he never saw any reason for their use when a medicine like Syrup Pepsin will empty the bowels just as promptly, more cleanly and gently, without griping and harm to the system. Keep free from constipation! It robs your strength, hardens your arteries and brings on premature old age. Do not let a day go by without a bowel movement. Do not sit and hope, but go to a druggist and get one of the generous bottles of Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin. Take the proper dose that night and by morning you will feel like a different person. Use Syrup Pepsin for
