WAR CONTINUES AGAINST ENEMY OF GRAIN CROPS Barberry Bush Eradication Carried On by Federal Department Agents. By Times Special NOBLESVILLE. Ind.. July 11. _ Eight agents of the United States department of agriculture are in central Indiana to continue the campaign begun several years ago to eradicate the common barberry bush, which spreads the destructive black stem rust to wheat, oats, barley and rye. The bush has been located at Sixty-seven different points so widely separated that they could have spread the rust to every grain field . m she county, according to the agents. In one area along Cicero S*®?* rnore than 300 bushes and b.OOO seedlings were found. These bushes were killed with salt. Seed Long Ltved At this time the agents are engaged in locating and killing the Jiew growth which has sprung up from seed left In the ground from the old bushes destroyed in previous years. The barberry produces large quantities of seeds which are spread hy birds. These seeds may lay In the ground for several years and then germinate and produce bushes. For this reason it is necessary to inspect old locations every few years. The work in central Indiana is part of the campaign being carried on in thirteen wheat-growing states. It began in 1918 and since that time more than 18,000,000 bushes have been killed in the states. In Indiana more than 241,000 have been killed. Heavy Loss Entailed The loss from rust has decreased greatly during this period. The average annual loss during the period 1916-1920, was more than 57.000,000 bushels, while in the period 1926-1930 the loss had been reduced to less than 10,000,000 bushels. One bush In Decatur county, Indiana, near Alert, in one year, 1922, caused a loss of $50,000. The bush was removed in 1922 and no black stem rust have been found in the community since that time. The agents say that citizens should not transfer bushes in woods to yards of homes unless they are absolutely sure that the bush is not barberry. Many cases are on record where the barberry has been spread in this way. 1 BODY LEFT IN DITCH Hit and Run Motorist Blamed for Tragedy Near Michigan City.

CO-EDS LEAD ! AS STUDENTS Men Trail According to De Pauw Report. By Times Special GREENCASTLE. Ind., July 11 Women can learn better than men; college seniors are more intelligent than freshmen, and students who live in dormitories do better work than those who live in fraternity houses or off the campus. These deductions are made from the second semester scholarship report of De Pauw university made today by Miss Vera Worth, registrar. The report shows seniors leading by a substantial margin with the juniors, sophomores and freshmen in the order named. No little part of the senior standing was due to the senior co-eds who lacked but .001 of a point of making a straight “B” average, which Is unusual. In each class the women students showed superiority over men. The report by residences shows that the dormitory students were better in grades than those living in fraternity houses, w'ho placed second. Local residents were third and offcampus houses fourth. De Pauw has five university dormitories, fourteen national fraternities and ten national sororities. The sorority report shows Delta Zeta again in the lead with Alpha Chi Omega second. Both placed higher than any of the .fraternities. Delta Zeta held first place in the first semester’s report. The others finished in the following order: Alpha Phi, Alpha Gamma Delta, Delta Delta Delta, Alpha Omicron Pi, Kappa Kappa Gamma. Phi Omega Pi. Kappa Alpha Theta and Kappa Dalta. Beta Theta Pi wrested first place from Commons Club among the fraternities race, Commons Club placing second. The other fraternities finished in the following order: Lambda Chi Alpha, Delta Chi, Delta Kappa Epsilon, Phi Gamma Delta, Delta Tau Delta, Alpha Tau Omega, Phi Kappa Psi, Phi Delta Theta, Delta Upsilon, Sigma Nu, Sigma Chi and Theta Kappa Nu. All sororities ranked higher than the all-university average while only seven of the fraternities were above that mark which is taken as zero.

JUDGE ANGERED BY DRY RAIDERS AT EVANSVILLE Officers Accused of Filing Gambling Cases to Mask Liquor Searches. By Times Special EVANSVILLE, Ind., July 11— Circuit judge Spencer of Vanderburg county declares some police officers and sheriff's deputies will be prosecuted at his instigation if he finds evidence that warrants issued on gambling affidavits are being used in liquor raids. Several attorneys charge that Ray St. Clair and Robert Hawkins, police officers, usually accompanied by Deputy Sheriffs Goodge and Collier, make the raids. In a few instances slot machines have been seized, but liquor is apparently the main objective of the raids made with such warrants. Government Gets Cases After arrests are made, the prisoners are not booked on gambling charges, but as United States fugitives, and liquor charges are filed against them in federal court. “They couldn't make a case in my court on those gambling warrants,” Judge Spencer asserts, adding that the Michigan supreme court has held such tactics illegal. “If I find out definitely that officers here are committing perjury. I will prosecute them,” the judge warned. Charges Perjury Attorney W. D. Hardy, who says he has investigated the system, asserts that persons signing gambling affidavits for the purpose of conducting liquor raids commit perjury. “It is simply a trick to avoid the limitations of the state and federal Constitutions,” the attorney said. Discussing the situation, Attorney Charles M. Lafollette, said: “The federal prohibition department would not permit such tactics on their part. They can’t search a private residence unless they have evidence of sale or manufacture. Decisions have been made by federal courts that even when federal officers accompany other officers on raids made on such affidavits as these, the evidence is thrown out.”
