HERE THERE and EVERYWHERE

The bonding company that furnished the bond for the receiver in the Ambia and Fowler bank case has agreed to pay the money in court for benefit of the depositors by next Saturday. At that time a final settlement of the receivership will be made. Few people realize the amount of scrap handled by railroads and sold to mills. The saving of this material proves a big source of revenue annually to railroads. It is estimated that the scrap sold by the Monon in 1916 will amount <to $200,000. All old rails sold during the past few months sold for as much and in some cases more than the original price paid by railroads for the rails when new. E. J. Huff of the News firm will ■leave next Monday evening for Indianapolis where he will assume clerical duties under A. H. Roberts, the newly elected state statistician, to which position he was recently appointed. Jlaving served in a similar capacity under the late J. L. Peetz in 1909-10, he will not be a stranger to the duties devolving upon him. For the present his family will remain here and he will content himself with Sunday visits home, later expecting to take up an official residence in In-dianapolis.-—Monon News.
