ment sheets in 1919. The question as printed In the second Inquiry at top of the assessment sheet is: “2. All bonds (a) Value of government bonds,” then follows “Value of municipal," “gravel road,” “railroad,” “street improvement” and “other corporate bonds." The question of when any of these bUhds were purchased is not asked at all in the sheet. It was simply the value on Meh. 1, 1919. In the space provided for listing government bonds Is where the figures referred to appear, and these were the only kind of bonds listed. The Democrat does not profess to know anything about the amount of bonds or any other property owned by Mr. McCray, other than as shown by official records or reports. Without questioning the statement that an error was made in putting down the amount of these bonds, no one had any legal right to surreptlously change the figures as shown tn the returns of the and If the latter made an error he should have made the affidavit —or joined in it —it would seem. Such affidavit has been procured, it is reported, within the past week and has now been attached to the assessment sheet along with the affidavit of Mr. McCray. „ — This “corrected” assessment sheet, along with the two affidavits referred to, show--that the candidate had SIB,OOO in government bonds on Meh. 1, 1920, which is not a very large amount for one of Mr. McCray’s reputed wealth and who “led in all war activities.” In fact it Is less than the price received.for one Hereford bull and considerably less than the amount held by several Jasper county people who do not claim any credit for “leading” nor that they are millionaires or near millionaires. \

HESSIAN FLY INVESTIGATIONS

The following special delivery letter was sent to the county agent by Purdue university for special notice Ct the developments of the Hessian fly in Indiana: ' “Qwing to the fact that the unusual cool weather during August and the lack of rainfall during' early September, has caused the fall emergencies of Hessian fly to be delayed through the extreme northern part of Indiana, the safe sowing date for this section will be delayed approximately three days from the (time indicated on the Hessian fly safesowing date map. This Informaton has been determined by a study of field conditions and is 'thought to be most reliable.” Governor Goodrich defended his wholesale pardon record in a recent speech. But he didn’t explain that he has released'' 1,163 convicts thus far ia his reign. Warren T. McCray has endorsed the Goodrich administration. Does that mean he will work state convicts on one of his farms like Goodrich did m one of his coal mines?
