Free Pheasants.

- Removal of the closed season on pheasants in Indiana in effect since the inception of the state game laws, was predicted by Kenneth M. Kunkel director of the fish and game division of the state commarvation department. At least 25,000 pheasants wil lbe liberated in the state during the next few months, Kunkel said. These birds will come from 12,000 eggs that have been distributed to conservation clubs, approximately 28,000 eggs recently set at state game farms, and another 12,000 eggs to be set soon, Kunkel said, Distribution of the pheasants will be made through conservation clubs. . : In addition to the 25,000 birds expected to be hatched, pheasants have been reported numerous in some parts of the state already. Can Dsplay Beers Signs. A permanent injunction prohibiting Paul P. Fry state excise director from barring outdoor beer signs was issued by Judge Earl R. Cox in Marion circuit court. Judge Cox made the ruling in an injunction suit filed by an Indianapolis gign company. Fry, who modified his original order by placing a limit on the size of beer signs announced he would make no comment until after reading Judge Cox’s ruling. “It is unquestionably the law in Indiana that no administrative officer can enlarge any power granted him by legislatve act and by so doing confiscate property or unnecessarily work hardships on the fundamental property rights of others,” Judge Cox said. :

MuSt Give Up Political Jobs.

Declaring treasury employes ‘“‘can’t work for Uncle Sam and a political party both,” Secretary of the Treasury Henry Morgenthau jr., called on all employes under’ his jurisdiction to “relinquish all political party offices at once.” “It has been demonstrated,’ said Morgenthau in a letter. to treasury department heads, “that holdng of a political party office is not compatible with the public interest and will hamper an officer or employe in the discharge of his governmental duties.’ o 1 A “I have considered this matter very carefully” he said, ‘“and I have come to the firm conviction that no officer or employee of the treasury department ought to continue to hold any pplitical party office.”

Have Right To Regulate CroSsings.

Holding that city councils have the sole right to regulate railroad crossing protection the Public Service com mission refused to review a case which would have nulified an ordinance passed by the city of Decatur. The ordinance passed in May 1928 ordered the Chicago & Erle railroad to erect electric flasher signals at Winchester street crossing. The ordinance further ordered ‘'a _watchman be left at the crossing until dismissed by the council. A penalty was fixed for violation. ;

The company filed a petition with the commission to get aside the ordinance contending the signal was sufficient. protection. The petition was filed July 26 1932. <

!TI’:EA BEETLES — CHINCH BUGS Fests Ravage Grain Crops; Carload ~ of Creosote Ordered To Check P Pests : -~ Chinch bugs and flea beetles are quite numerous over Noble county, particularly in the southern part of ‘the county according to County Agent ‘M. A, Nye. The pests are particul‘arly numerous in Swan and Green townships. ’ The ravages of the chinch bugs have become so serious that a carload of creosote has been ordered and is exipect®d to arrive this week and applied immediately. The chinch bugd are mostly in wheat and oats fields now but as soon as the grain is cut they will migrate to the corn, reports Agent Nye. Flea beetles are attacking the small corn and are doing some damage. The control of this pest is difficult as about the only method that proves successful is spraying, which is expensive. : - The dry weather is ideal for the chinch bug and the flea beetie. A heavy rain right now would be a real menace to both pasts, sail Agoent Nye. ;

It is planned 'o have demonstrat'ons on the con'ril and eradicatin of the chinch bug this week in Washington and Swan townships. Efforts will be made to have a representative of the state etnomologist’s depart ment in the county. In certain localities in southern In diana the chinch bugs have destroyed wheat and corn fields, It is advised the burning of feuce rows, the turning under of corn stubble and other steps to destroy the shelter cf chinch bugs during the winter are good preventatives. According to Lewis Price LaGrange county agricultural assistant and R. L. Case also of LaGrane couuty no reports of chinch bug damage have come to them from LaGrange county farmers. Flea beetles are attacking corn fields in the western part of LaGrange ppunty but do not ge'm to have srres¢ to any alarming extent and are p aying out.

GIVE MANY IDLE MEN WORK

Over 6,000 Employed In State By Appropriation of Federal . Funds A

Construction work on state high-i way projects financed with ¢~deral funds had brought employment on May 15 to moie than six thousand men vreviously registered as unemploy=d il was announced by Jjames D. Adams chairman ¢f the state high‘way commission. These men hav? been employed since April whben the CWA program was discontinied in Indiana. : Each of the co~fracts for highway construction where federal funds are involved, carries a prav.sion that wi:h ‘he v -cptlon of ecvia‘v skiliad lal Lor, all employment on that projact must be furnished through the recmployment service opevated by tha state anq federa! governments. Men employed-on a corstra: -1y project in 4 county must be :23i{.:35 cf that ccunty unless suf.*cicnt labor is not available. The total of 6,133 n.en given employment on state highway contract projects since April 1 doas not represent the total number to bc given work as many projects have been started since the figures were comriled and other contracts for construe tion financed with federal funds are yet to be awarded. The fugure does not include men employed on construction work financed with state funds sicce they are not takea dl- - through the employment offices. ' It is estimated that 90 cents of every dollar gpent for highway construe tion goes directly or indirectly for labor. With more than six million dollars worth of highway econstruction placed under contract since the: first of the year, the expenditure of these funds will further the general improvement in business conditions th‘rc,)ughout the state.
