GARY’S MAYOR SEEKS TO BAR TWO LITIGANTS Eligibility of Contestants for Office Questions in Suit. t*u Thnr* fine rial GARY. Ind., Dec. 26—Mayor Henry G. Hay of Gary has filed suit in Lake circuit court at Crown Point asking an order restraining both Roswell O. Johnson, Republican, and Emmet N. Whfie, Democrat, from succeeding him until their fight over the office is settled. Johnson received a majority of votes in the Nov. 5 election, but White in a suit alleges he is ineligible to hold office due to an act of the 1931 legislature barring from office any person convicted of a felony for which a prison sentence of six months or more was served. Johnson, twice mayor here, served part of a sentence in the federal prison at Atlanta. Ga., on conviction of conspiracy to violate the national prohibition law. A pardon from President Coolidge, Johnson maintains, elec red him of all stigma, and rendered the Indiana law inoperative. Hay has been in office only ten days, having . uccceded Mayor Floyd G. Williams, resigned. His suit attacks eligibility of both Johnson and White to be mayor, asserting the former is barred because of ills prison record and the latter because he failed to receive a majority of votes in the November election. The city's financial status will be Jeopardized if either Johnson or White becomes mayor. Hay alleges. He Eays that in order to meet the city pay roll, carrying about 300 persons, it had been planned to issue short tinrm warrants pending receipt of the first tax money installment in the spring, but expresses doubt that such paper could be Issued, should either contestant assume office, as the issue of eligibility could be raised as to each.

Butchering Still Is ‘ 'Habit ’

Butchering still is an important proce&s on many Indiana farms. Above are shown carcasses ready to be cut in pieces suitable for handling. When this part of butchering has been completed, the most laborious task has been finished.

Farm Community Residents Help Each Other to Get Meat Supply. Ru Timm Special NOBLESVILLE, Ind., Dec. 26. Society women and club men may have their rounds of gaiety, but the provident Indiana farmer ana his thrifty wife have their gala days, too. especially at this seasou of the year. Most of the farmers of Indiana are busy now and will be for the next few weeks arranging with their neighbors to trade work, for the butchering season is now at its height throughout the state. The telephone rings on the country line. *T believe that was our ring, Jim,” says the busy wife, and Jim hurries from the kitchen to answer the call. “Hello, yes, this is Jim. Do you say next Tuesday? Yes. Kate and me will be there. I hope it will be colder than the day you helped us butcher. My new rifle? All right, I will bring it along.” This is a sample of the response John Brown gets from four or five more of his neighbors when he calls to notify them of the day he has fixed for butchering on his farm. He has already helped some of them and others are ready to assist him. Early Rising the Rule The day preceding the one set for butchering is a busy one. Lard cans must be washed and scalded, kettles made ready, presses cleaned, wood collected for quick fires and the boilers filled. The last, but by no means the least important, preparation for the morrow, is setting the alarm clock for 4 a. m. So promptly does the clock do its duty that often some member of the family is sure to contend that a mistake has been made and that the clock has sounded several hours too soon. Grandfather is on special duty at the foot of the stairs and he completes that which the alarm clock failed to accomplish. There is another momentous matter to which grandfather must give concern and that is the weather. He is always the first to investigate this important factor in the events connected with butchering day. He walks out before daw T n and soon returns to announce to the family the weather conditions. The weather means much, as any farmer of experience will testify. Could he be sure of his choice, he would select a cold day. There Is yet in the Hoosler state many farmers who adhere to the old observance of signs. Many of them will not butcher hogs or beeves unless the sign is right. This, they contend, is in the light of the moon and the points of the moon must be turned upward before anything could induce them to make their year's supply of meat. They regard the counsel of the almanac as safe, and unless the moon points upward and the sign is rising, preservation of meat is risky, they maintain. On the other hand, many ridicule this superstition and say they do not butcher in the moon, but in the barnyard. Made a Home-Coming At a homestead where there are several married sons and married daughters who live in town and who arrange with their parents for their year’s supply of pork, as many as twelve head of hogs are sometimes butchered in a day and prepared for use. Such an event is in the nature of a home-coming. The modern equipment for butchering purposes includes attachment of the sausage grinder to an electric motor, thus reducing greatly the labor of the old-fashioned method of turning the crank by hand. The winter day is short, the darkness comes too soon, but it usually finds all of the work done except frying down the sausage and small pieces of meat that otherwise would spoil before they could be eaten. At evening the raiment of the folk may be grease besmeared, their faces picture weariness, things about the home may be out of their usual order, the light step of the morning may be slackened, yet all are jovial and ready to help another neighbor the next day.

BEE MEN HEAR

FRANK WALLACE, STATEOFFICIAL 65,000 Colonies Inspected in Year, Says Indiana Entomologist. Sixty-five thousand bee colonies were inspected by his office during the year. State Entomologist Frank Wallace told the annual meeting of Indiana State Beekeepers at the statehouse today.

This has been possible through your co-operation in working out the present system of taking an entire county at one time.” President J. R. Stelle of Butler, Ind., presided, and C. A. Yost, chief bee inspector and secretary of the association, presented the annual repo-t. George S. Derauth, Medina. 0.. spoke this* morning and also is scheduled on the Friday program.
