BATTLE OPENS ON INSURANGE CLAIMS BILL
Agents’ Association Raises Fund to Fight Proposal.
The Indiana Association of Insurance Agents today was completing its drive for a war chest of $10,000 to fight a proposed State fund to settle claims arising from the State Workmen's Compensation Act. Vice presidents of the 12 Indiana districts, at the midyear conference in the Indianapolis Athletic Club yesterday, reported collections for the lobbying fund were nearing quotas. The conference unanimously approved a report of the legislative committee condemning the proposal to create a State insurance fund. : R. M. Fox, Marion County district representative, said the delegates of this district already had raised $3800 of the $4000 quota.
Invasion Charged
Ross E. Coffin, of Indianapolis, State president, told the delegates the proposal to create a State fund to handle workmen's compensation claims was an invasion of private enterprise. He charged the enactment of such a law would subject the general fund to the hazards of deletion in
guaranteeing payment of industrial claims, and would result in a loss of tax revenue by the State because of income losses suffered by the insurance companies. The Indiana State Chamber of Commerce, the Indianapolis Chamber of Commerce and the Indiana Manufacturers’ Association are prepared to oppose the measure, Mr. Coffin asserted.
GIANT WHEAT CROP I LIKELY
Forecast Due Today May Be For Near Record, U. S. Estimates Show.
(Another Story, Page 25)
WASHINGTON, June 10 (U. P). — The Department of Agriculture will issue today (2 p. m. Indianapolis Time) a crop report expected to forecast a near-record production of approximately one billion bushels of wheat. All reports from wheat producing states indicate an increase over the 754,153,000 bushels of winter wheat predicted a month ago by the department, agriculture officials said. The department's report will anhounce the condition of spring wheat, but will not estimate total production. A condition 70 per cent of normal would, however, indicate a crop in excess of 200,000,000 bushels. The largest American wheat crop ever produced was 1,008,637,000 bushels in 1915. The second largest was 952,097,000 bushels in 1919. The record winter crop was 825,396,000 bushels in 1931, and the spring wheat record 268,072,000 bushels in 1915, Loan Plans Pend
Secretary of Agriculture Wallace awaited the crop board report before approving plans for Federal loans on surplus wheat to be stored under Government seal. Loan rates and regulations may be announced next week. Congress authorized wheat loans at between 52 and 75 per cent of parity—between 60 and 85 cents a bushel. Loans will be made by the Commodity Credit Corp. to growers who did not exceed their 1938 acreage allotments. Tentative plans drawn by Agricultural Administration officials call for loans ranging from 55 to 65 cents a bushel. A 1938 wheat crop of a billion bushels, added to a carryover of 200,000,000 busheis from last year, would give the United States a surplus of nearly 500,000,000 bushels above probable domestic and export demand during the next 12 months.

Fowl Play
Duck Gets Greased Twice, Washed Once, Now Dodges Water.
Prof. Duck
OW that commencement at Hibben School, 5237 Pleasant Run Parkway, has been celebrated by a parent-teacher-pupil picnic in the garden, the faculty has turned its attention to the staff duck. The duck, a beautiful white creation, was full professor of Mother Goose to the younger pupils and actually strutted around the garden, answering come hither whistles and preening himself when he caught anyone admiring him. That was until he came in contact with the modern machine age, with confusing results. One day the duck waddled under the school car which had just been greased, and the grease came off on the gleaming white top feath-
ers. 2 " ®
THER members of the faculty say that the duck always had been addicted to bathing and they assumed that the frequent baths had something to do with a narcissus complex. But this time water did no good and it became necessary to bathe the duck with corn meal to remove the grease. This ruffled the duck’s vanity, but he appeared happy once more with his spot less feathers, until he absent=mindedly walked under the car again a couple of days later and
once more got greasy. This time the duck would have nothing to do with water, nothing | to do with corn meal. When it rained, even, the duck would hide out some where until it was over, just to keep dry. Like we say, the faculty, now that there's a respite from class work for a while, is trying its best to get the duck to listen to reason and get clean again. They think it will do something for his frame of mind.
BULL ENTERS CHINA SHOP—BUT BEHAVES
SPRINGFIELD, Mo., June 10 (U. P.).—A bull walked into a China shop today and nothing happened. A. T. Sechler was taking the bull to market when it jumped from a truck and walked into a five and ten cent store. As customers joined clerks in scurrying under counters, the bull walked down an aisle until | it came to the China and glassware counter. It looked the display | over, turned and headed back for | the front door. Sechler grabbed its | halter and the trip to the stockyards was resumed.
NO PEOPLE IN TOWN, BUT IT’S ON THE MAP
ORLANDO, Fla. June 10 (U.P.). —In 1886, when Toronto, Fla., near here, was first named by one of the | engineers supervising the construction of the Atlantic Coast Line Railroad, the population was zero. Now, 52 years later, it is still uninhabited, It is represented on all official maps and is served by two railroads and a trunkline highway.
