RAISE IN ONION PRICES.

Producers of Noble County are Reaping Rewards for Their Sum- - mer’s Work.

Noble county onion producers are now making even a better profit on their onions than they had antiéipated a few weeks ago when“ t began to mount. : *”’w?«fi% Today vellow onions are qk%‘xg $2.00 per 160 pounds while white’ fancy stock is bringing $3.50 a bushel. Early last spring local growers were looking forward in anticipation of a market that would pay t.heml slightly better than §52.00 a bushel. | Many producers lost heavily when their seed was blown out following a several weeks’ period of. drought. Hundreds of acres were resown,

Scores of buyers for large wholesale houses of many cities have been in north-central Indiana during the past week seeking to contract for potatoes at $2,50 a bushel. A few weeks ago potatoes were being deliv'er-ed‘by farmers at 75 cents to $1 a bushel. The marked advance has been due to the fact that in many sections of the country potatoes were frozen in the ground. - 5 :

No Change Likely.

When Mayor-elect Calbeck assumes his office January 1, 1926, he will have some appointments to make, some with the consent of the council and some without. Among these appointments are a police chief, a night officer, city attorney and street commissioner. These posts are now held respectively by Lawrence Wolf, Harley Bowen, Chester V. Vanderford and KXd Banta. These gentlemen have all given satisfactory service to the public and if they care to remain as a part of the new administration they will no doubt be retained. _ P . The new administration so far as elective officers go will be decidedly new, ‘The mayor, city clerk, city treasurer and four of the five councilmen are without previous experience.

Schutt, one of the newly elect ed councilmen, has served four years as mayor of Ligonier and the knowledge thus gained will be of value.
