IN STATE 183 CORN HARVEST
Decrease of 48,000,000 Bushels From 1935 Is Purdue Forecast.
Timea Epecial LAFAYETTE, Ind., Oct. 14—Purdue University today estimated that Indiana corn this year will harvest at 25 bushels to the acre for a vield of 111,900,000 bushels as against 180,474,000 bushels last year. August and September heavy rains were credited with remedying to some degree the damage done by early summer droughts over much of the state, M. M. Justin, who made the forecast, said. Those same rains, he said, have glowed farm work to the'extent that there now is a shortage of farm labor in the state for the “first time in many months.” The oats yield in the state was estimated at 27 bushels to the acre for a state total of 36,072,000 bushels. Oats stocks on farms were estimated at 27415000 bushels as against 28,185,000 bushels a year ago, Corn stocks on farms were estimated at 11386000 bushels as against 3,598,000 bushels a year ago,
and wheat stocks were estimated at |
11,312,000 bushels, 657,000 bushels less than a year ago, although the vield is estimated to have been greater this year than last by about 7,000,000 bushels. - The report continued: “Condition of potatoes was five points above last month because of | late rains in the muck land of | northern Indiana and the indicated | vield is 68 bushels per acre against 80 last year, giving a production of 4,216,000 bushels. The sweet potato crop also improved during September with prospects for a yield of 80 hushes per acre. . “Condition of soybeans was one point higher. last month with an indicated acreage of soybeans lower than last year. ‘A productien of 3,094,000 bushels is estimated against a figure of 5,899,000 bushels last year. “The yield of tame hay was estimated to be .95 ton per acre against 1.38 tons last year. Because of the rain, pasture conditions especially in the central and northern part of the state, improved 30 per cent. The condition of tobacco was reported 15 points above last month, giving a yield of 683 pounds per acre. A production of 378,000 bushels of apples was forecast.”

BANKERS HEAR DATA ON: NEW BUSINESS
Times Special BLUFFTON, Ind. Oct. 14.—Bankers were urged to investigate the possibilities ot mopthly payment loans as an added revenue source by E. S. Woosley, Louisville banker, in an address before the Regional Clearing House Association here today. ‘The consumer credit field has been revolutionized by growth of the automobile, radio and refrigerator business in the last 25 years, he told the bankers. “The amount of consumer credit outstanding in the form of loans in 1935 indicated a total in excess of all commercial loans made by all the banks of this country,” Mr. Woosley pointed out. T. I. Walsh, of the Standard Statistics Co., Chicago, pointed io future bond business as added earnings for banks. John F. Hull, Evansville agricultural agent, advised bankers of the importance of mutual understanding between bankers and the farmers.
TOWNSEND BIDS FOR |, U. STUDENT VOTES
Times Special BLOOMINGTON, Ind. Oct. 14.—Defending the national and Indiana taxation systems, Lieut. Gov. M. Clifford Townsend, Democratic gubernatorial candidate, today made a bid for the student vote at. Indi-
Speaking before an overflow’ crowd in Assembly Hall, he said: “Before Democrats came into power early in
1 marriage were afraid to attempt to buy homes because they feared excessive property taxation. “That was growing into a dangerous problem,” he said, “but it’s different now. The burden has been taken off that small percentage of population, the home owners, and distributed among those who are able to pay and according to their ability to pay. That is where the gross income comes in.” Gazing at the wooden columns in Assembly Hall, one of the oldest buildings on the campus, Mr. Townsend ,said: “I'd like to come back here again soon and speak to you as your Governor, and my hope for you is that I may do so in a building much finer than this.” Several townspeople attended the event, which was a convocation for students.

Herron Art Institute Seeks Pictures for Display in November.
BY JOE COLLIER
“Chester, I want to speak to you about your mode of life. I think it is little better than swindling to charge $40 for one of those effigies.” Thus spoke Chester Harding's papa in the early 1800's after one of the trips into Indiana, Illinois, Ohio and other Middle Western states, painting portraits of the wealthy as he went and building up a reputation that for a while, in the East and in England, was second
to none of the: painters of the time.
The elder Mr. Harding was a New England farmer and had no sympathy at all for “effigy painting.” But the pictures have come to be collector's’ items, and the Herron Museum of Art in Indianapolis is fortunate to possess two of them.
Used as Nucleus of Show
They are to be used as the nucleus of the November “Family Album Show,” Wilbur Peat, director, has announced and for which the museum staff now is accepting offers of contributions. The pictures, Mr: Peat says, that will be hung in the exHibition are to come from the attics and off the drawing-room walls of Indianapolis homes, and they will, he predicts, add a great deal to the history of Indiana art before, during and for a period immediately after the Civil War. Stories of the pictures themselves are likely te prove interesting, Mr. Peat said. For instance, the harrowing experiences of the pair of Chester Harding's now in the museum’s permanent collection, may be typical of the journeys of other pictures which Mr. Peat hopes will be uncovered and undusted for the exhibition. It also is significant, he said, that row, as the campaign for pictures gets underway, the museum, for tho first time, has identified the sitters
‘of the pomraits.
Unkempt Discovery
In 1923 Edward R. (Bill) Gilgour, Indianapolis art dealer, was poking around in a Mr. Zimmerman’s shop in Cincinnati, and he came across the two paintings, horribly unkempt and in need of repairs. He asked for a price, and Mr. Zimmerman said they were commissioned to him only for the sale of the frames. But, he said, he would ask his client for a price on paintings as well, and eventually he got it and the deal was closed. Mr. Gilgour, who knew the value of a Chester Harding, wrote Miss Elizabeth Hardaway, who had owned ‘the .paintings, and was then in San Diego, Cal. She replied that she had found it
necessary to dispose of the pictures:
because California houses were built with such ceilings that.the wall space would not ‘be adequate to hang the pictures.
Painted in Cincinnati, Belief
One picture was of Capt. Charles J. Bunker, and the other of Miss Hardaway's father's sister. They were painted by Mr. Harding, she said she beleived, in Cincinnati, some time before the Civil War. Harding died in 1866.

Vinton Home Was Built 75 Years Ago and Had Walls Covered With Lace.
Wreckers today began the de-
struction of an old Indianapolis
landmark, rich in the. social, civic and family tradition of the city. It was the home of Almus E. Vinton at 14th and Meridian-sts, and
is said to have been built 75 years ago by Francis Costigan, a Philadel-
phia architect who also built the
famous Lanier home in Madison. It is to be razed to make way for a new salesroom of the Roy Wilmeth Co., an automobile agency, and was sold to the new owner after
Mrs. Elizabeth V. Pierce; daughter
of Mr. Vinton, died July 8, this year. The home contained walls covered with lace 500 years old, an old Franklin open wood stove, an antiquated door bell that rang in different tones to summon different
members of the family, and a ‘couch
that came originally from the home of an overseer of George Washington’s slaves. Members of the Pierce family still living are a son, Henry Douglas
Pierce Jr., a daughter, Mrs. Frederic |
Krull, and two grandchildren, and a twin brother of Mrs. Pierce, Lindley Vinton, New York.

of the North, she said, and from decks of his boat (he was a sea captain, as museum officials long had suspected because of the maritime background in the. picture) nis wife watched the battle between the Monitor and tie Merrimac. Mr. Gilgour had the pictures in his possession for three years, where they were admired by J. Arthur MacLean, formerly director, but he could not raise the purchase price from museum funds. Miss Lucy Taggart eventually bought them and presented them to the museum. And so around these. pictures is to be built the “Family Album” show Mr. Peat is staging.

Business Interests of City. Utility Directors Conflict, Club Members Told.
BY FREDERICK G. MATSON Responsibility for the failure to
was charged to the “conflicting in terests” of some City Utilities District directors by Clinton H. Givan, attorney, in a speech before members of the North Side Federation of Clubs last night at Joe Marott, Hotel. Mr. Givan, speaking ob “Why Indianaolis Does Not Have Natural » specifically named Henry L. Dithmer, Utilities District directors president, and D. J. Angus, another director, as having “personal reasons” for not wanting cheaper gas rates here. Mr. Dithmer said today: “The record of my activities as a member of the City Utilities Dis-
‘| trict directors speaks for itself and
I decline to commen} further.” Mr. Angus could not be reached for comment. Mr. Givan, who is the attorney for the Users’ Gas Co., which last year sought a franchise to enter Marion County, but whose backers never have been made public, criticised the recent “luncheon club |. tour” of Mr. Angus. “With all respect to Mr. Dithmer, who is a fine citizen, I want to call attention to the fact that he is in the coal business,” Mr. Givan said.
Cites Business Connections .
“If I was in the coal business, I wouldn't want cheap gas,” he said. Mr. Dithmer is president of the Polar Ice and Fuel Co. “Mr. Angus is a manufacturer of electrical appliances, an industry which is a direct competitor of the gas industry,” Mr. Gi\ in said. Mr. Angus is president of the EsterlineAngus Co. “People of Indianapolis never are going to get cheap gas, as long as coal and electrical appliances are sold, unless they demand it,” Mr. Givan declared. “Mr. Angus has made a series of conflicting statements on the price of producing gas made by the Citizens Gas Co. and the price that could be obtained if natural gas were brought into the city,” Mr. Givan charged.
Declares Other Firms Available
“In addition fo the Users’ Gas Co., there are three or four other natural gas firms from whom In-
dianapolis citizens can buy cheaper gas today,” Mr. Givan said. He de-
