Out of Spuds, Relief Far Off

“Sorry, no spuds.”

That's what greeted housewives more often than ever

Potatoes were dropping out of sight while prices for same were rising out of sight. The spud situation, a mess a week ago, is now becoming a maelstrom, , Yesterday, about one-third of the stores in Indianapolis were out of potatoes. Most of the others were charging over-ceiling prices. Several wholesalers didn’t have a single cobbler on hand, while others were nearly out. So hopes for immediate relief are just wild dreams, The earliest prospect of more spuds is about 10 days, possibly a month, That's when California {harvest will be at peak and North Carolinas will start coming in.

2d Raise Denied

County Teachers

The Marion County Board of Education has turned down a second salary boost for the county's 748 school teachers. The County Classroom Teachers Association had asked $300 more a year for all, but the board refused to increase its original raise. Teachers with eight years or less experience will receive yearly increases of $125, teachers with more experience, $100 raises.

later the errant seller of seats will find a tax summons in the mail. That's real trouble. Failure to acknowledge a summons has been known to make collectors and federal judges unhappy, in turn making the seat peddler eligible for reservations in a jail cell.

He can figure it yp at the rate of 1 cent tax on every five cents received. Fractions count as another nickle.
