STATE NEWS Indianapolis. Evidence that there are combinations In restraint of trade In the coal Industry In Indiana has been obtained by the special food and coal commission, according to a statement made by Jesse Ü Eschbach, chairman of the commission, at n hearing of coal wholesalers. Representatives of Indiana Johbers at the liea ring ured the commission to permit Jobbers to charge as their commission 10 per cent of the price they pay for coal at the mouth of the mine. The commission heard both operators and retailers. "This commission has evidence said Mr. Eschbach, "to show that retailers In some Indiana communities have such a close organization with Indiana operators that no customer In certain territories can buy a pound of coal direct from mines or collerles. unless the coal goes through the hands of a retailer who collects the regular profit." Anderson. Madison county farmers report that more corn will be shocked or ensilaged than over before because of the low price for corn delivered at elevators. Farmers estimate they would lose heavily nt the present prices since thev are below the price paid for seed. Corn for canning factories is yielding approximately $-18 an acre, and farmers who grew corn for packing plants believe it will prove more profitable than corn for the later market. Tomatoes for canning concerns have been averaging more than $120 an acre and for the reason that the canning plants pay better than other markets It is predicted by farmers that the acreage of common corn will be reduced next year In favor of sweet corn ami tomatoes. flosben.

Instead of lOO.O.'iS. as announced, should be 100.212, and the population of Franklin county. Instead of the 14.7.rS, should be M.SOG. The discrepancies were discovered when addition of the totals of county population, as announced, gave the state a population of 222 fewer persons than was announced by the bureau as the total for the whole state. Seymour. With favorable weather thousands of acres In Jackson county will be seeded to wheat. Most farmers withheld sowing until after October 5 because of the possible danger of the Hessian ily. As the wheat crop in the county was not as good as usual last spring, some trouble "has been experienced In getting first-class seed and farmers who held wheat which tested high and was free from cockle ami other weeds seeds, disposed of It at $2.50 a bushel.

Washlngon, D. C. Complete revised population statistics for the 13 congressional districts In Indiana were made public by the census bureau. They show conclusively that the state will lose nt least one member of the congress under the, reapportionment to be made when the congress reconvenes, and there Is the possibility, as revealed by them, that two members may be lost. Under the 1910 apportionment by the congress, there Is one member of the house of representatives for each 211,877 person. Under the 1920 census the population of each of the congressional districts is sho-vn to he as follows: First district. 107,774; Second. 210.044; Third. 10r.777; Fourth, 170.702; Fifth. 210.2S0; Sixth. 1S3.320; Seventh. 343.001 ; Eighth. 210.342; Ninth. 100.270; Tenth, 2S0.3S7; Eleventh. 203.1)2."; Twelfth, 205.402; Thirteenth. 2S7.7."1.

One hundred and fifty farmers, banker, business men and county agricultural agents of Tippecanoe and other counties in district 3 of the Indiana Federation of Farmers' Associations will leave Lafayette Sunday, November 7. on a railroad tour to Illinois. Iowa, Minnesota, and Wisconsin, for the purpose of inspecting agricultural experiment stations and representative farms. The trip will be similar to that recently taken by 2."0 (Georgia farmers and business men who visited Purdue, the University of Illinois and many other places in the middle West. A special train has been chartered. Hammond. Mary Mislcko of this city was arrested for .operating a still. There Is nothing unusual about catching moonshine artists these days, but the fact that Mary Is a woman, and has only one leg. Is unusual. She probably is the only one-legged won an accused of operating a still since stPls icame Into style. The missing leg was cut ofT on the Erie railroad three years ago. Wholesale quantities of mah and whisky found by the officers Indicated that Mary had gone Into business on a large scale. Newcastle. A picnic for twins was held recently at the home of Harry Kegor, near here. Twins were present In large numbers and of all ages. The event was the first of its kind. The picnic was so successful that it was decided to make the affair an annual event and In time it is hoped to expand the picnic and take in the entire state. Persons attending the event said they did not know there were as many twins In Henry county as showed up at the Pegor home. East Chicago. Leo McCormkk, mayor of East Chicago, removed all members of the board of park trustees from that board because they had promulgated a system of boulevards against the wishes of the mayor. Contrary to his refpicsts such a system of boulevards was adopted In order to stop vacation of certain streets, which was started by the board of works In order to create an Industrial site for one of the leading industries of the city.

Once More the Nicaragua Canal Project

WASHINGTON. Recently the United States government, by a payment of $.',000,000, has acquired the exclusive right to dig a (anal across Nicaragua n step prompted by a report that Great Pritain and J-ipan contemplated the project as a joint enterprise on their own account, anyway, so says report. It was for a long time thought that we would decide upon a Nicaragua route in preference to that of Panama, but the final choice fell to the Isthmus, mainly because of fear of the Niearaugan volcanoes, which are very temperamental and sometimes fiercely explosive. Nevertheless the proposed line of the NIcnrnguan canal passed f0 miles south of the nearest active volcano and the route had certain conspicuous advantages. For one thing, the highest elevation to be crossed is only 1T7i feet (this being the lowest gap in the continent's backbone anywhere from First Wireless Heard THE first message from the United States naval radio station, known as the Lafayette radio station, at Bordeaux, France, which is undergoing official acceptance tests, has been received here. The message follows: 'This is the first wireless message to be hoard around the world and marks a milestone on the road of scientific achievement." Secretary Daniels sent the following message In reply: "My sincere congratulations upon the successful completion of the gigantic radio station named for that distinguished Frenchmen whom all Americans honor. Designed to serve a military purpose, It will now serve to bind closer the cordial relations which have, always existed between France and the United Slates. On behalf of the United States navy, I desire to express my pleasure upon the achievement of the Lafayette radio station In transmitting the first message to be heard around the world. We are happy to recognize In this powerful signal a symbol of that force and sympathetic understanding with which the voice of France shall be heard by its sister republic." .The Lafayette radio station was built by the United States navy department, under the direction of the bureau of engineering and the bureau of yards and docks. Its const rucUon was begun during the war to

Milk With a Delicious Sawdust Flavor

SAW OUST w m ISN'T there a hoary old yarn about a man who equipped his donkey with green spectacles and tried to educate It to eat shavings? Wed, anyway, he wasn't a circumstance to Uncle Sam. He's going to fatten up our cows and make 'em give more milk on a diet of sawdust. In short, when the dairy farmer of the future needs feed for his cows he may get a fresh supply by going out in his wood lot and reducing a few stumps to sawdust. By chemical treatment sawdust may be converted into a nourishing cattle food. This fact wns made public at a sectional meeting of Industrial and engineering chemists, American Chemical society, at the University of Chicago. The process of preparing such ani A Possible Election POSSIIULITIKS growing out of the Tennessee suffrage tangle are being officially considered, notwithstanding the fact that Connecticut has since made a ratification of sorts. The possibilities arise out of constitutional proi!ons that a'candldate must have a majority In the electoral college to secure his election. If courts should declare, after the election has occurrrd, that the Tennessee ratification of Suffrage was Illegal all women's votes cast under authority of the nineteenth amendment also would be Illegal, and there would be nothing to do but throw out the whole vote of states where such Illegal voting had occurred. Thus, no candidate would have a maturity of the electors and the house of representatives would elect the president.

Alaska to Cape Horn), whereas on the Isthmus of Panama It was rG4 feet. This Is Interesting because the Nicarnugua canal may yet be dug to supplement for commercial purposes the facilities of the Panama ditch. The route would be 334 miles shorter from New York to San Francisco than by way of the isthmus; and the canal would not cost more than one-third as much as that of Panama barring, however, the risen price of labor and materials. Looking at the map. one sees that Nicaragua Is wide compared with the Isthmus of Panama. Hut also one observes that much of Its narrowest part is occupied by an Immense lake, 100 miles long and .4,r miles broad, out of which a large river, called the San Juan, runs eastward all the way of the Caribbean sea. A strip only 12 miles wide separates the lake from the Pacific ocean ; three-fourths of the river's length Is navigable, and thus, as it might be said, most of the digging has already been done by nature. There would be, as a matter of fact, about 4S miles of ditch to be dug; but nearly all of this is through lowlands, and the jab would be correspondingly easy. The distance across the Tehunnte-, pec neck is l4jr miles as the crow files. Round the W oriel maintain wireless communication between this country and our forces in France, since at that time there was grave fear that German submarines might be able to cut the trans-oceanic cables and leave Pershing isolated so far as immediate communication with the United States was concerned. The station now completed Is the largest In the world. It has eight 820-foot towers, and Its engineering features, while In general modeled on those of our naval stations at Arlington and Annapolis, are unique both In their magnitude and in some features of their design. The success of this station in transmission is exemplified by the fact that the audibility of its signals, as measured at the naval radio laboratory in the bureau of standards, Is five times the audibility of the similar signals from the German radio station at Nauen. mal food was described by E. C. Sherrard and G. W. Planeo. White sawdust, finely ground, is treated with diluted sulphuric acid in a large boiler known as a digester, under steam pressure. This breaks up the fiber and extracts the sugar. To prevent Injurious effects, the acid is neutralized by adding lime to produce chemical reaction. The liquid thus obtained, when boiled down, Is rich in sugar, and when mixed with the fiber produces a moist feed containing about If per cent of water, in which form It Is fed to dairy cows. At the forest products laboratory. United States department of agriculture, Madison, Wis., experiments proved that three cows thrived on this sawdust ration and not only gave more milk, but Increased In weight. So says Uncle Sam. The result was so satisfactory that the government has decided to take the matter up on a larger scale at the experiment stations throughout the country and furnish a detailed report on the value of hydrolyzed sawdust as cattle food. So says Uncle Sam. So there you are. Probably milk, cream and butter, with a delicious sawdust llavor will soon be added to the IL C. L. Hitch Other Items TI1K recent demotion of Prig. Gen. George Parrett from the rank of major general, commandant of the marine corps, and the fact that no action has been taken on his application for appointment as major general to tili a new existing vacancy.
