CRIME SURVEY.

Noble County Ranks Midway in the Criminal Cases Filed in Indiana.

Noble county rankg midway among Indiana counties in numbers of eriminal caseg fileq in all courtg per 10,000 of population. The county is one of 18 counties with a rate ranging from 699 to 824 pér 10,000 of population over the period 1928-1933. The highest rate is 1,244 to 4,862 per 10,000 for 18 of the most heavily populated coupties, while the lowest rate is 357 to 6559 in 18 other counties

These facts were brought in a state wide survey by the Indiana university department of sgociology which will be presented to the state conference on criminal law administration to be held at Bloomington March 31. Dr. E. H. Sutherland, head of the department and Myrtie C. Sutherland, who conducted the study, pointed out that traffic violations, drunkeness, disorderly conduct and other misdemeanors are included in the survey and that this is largely responsible for the high rate in congested -centers of population. The I. U. research workers did not minimize however, the dangers from. minor offenses, since they are oftentimes stepping stones to more serious crimes. Results. of the state wide survey showing where crime thrives in Indiana and the work of many other investigators in the fields of crimology and socialogy will come before ‘the conference. Peace officers, representatives of penal institutions, legislators and others interested in the problem of stemming the tide of crimg will attend. :

MY 4-H CLUB EXPERIENCE

By Mary Jane Crothergs Swan Twp. I have taken part in the 4-H club for four years. I have enjoyed mygelf at the township meetings and also at the county meetings. I have made many new acquaintances during my four years of club work. I have not only had good times during th yearg of tay club work but they have also been helpful to me. I took various projects such as Food (Preparation, Sewing and Baking. I wag in the Pig club one year. I fed two pigs and named them Corky and Porky. They were so tame that 1 hated to sell them when fair time came. This year I joined the calf club. I am feeding one calf, I am also going to join the girls club. I enjoyed the Noble County fair most of all. I stayed in the club cawp all four years I went on Monday and stayed until Friday. We wenl swimming every day and had campfire meetings and played games on the race track. I always had a good time when I wag there. g i

1 always looked forward to the Ligonier picnic. . %

Last of all is the Achievement Day at Albion. There is entertainment each year certain townships are’required to put: on short plays. The record bookg are handed back and the girlg are picked who go to Purdue. !

1 am sure I have enjoyjed myself every year I have been in the club and ‘T hope to go into the club many more years. 1 think every boy and girl should join the cliub because they sure miss a lot. of experience and many good times if they do not belong. And just think of the many friends you gain that you otherwise would not have the privilege of meet ing. e T

Contrary to the general belief the severe cold weather experienced last winter will not eliminate the necessity for effective ang as nearly 100 per cent comntro] ag possible of insects this spring, according to Prof. J. J. Davig head of the entomolgy department of Purdue University, in answer to numerous letters received.

“Snow ig theb est insulator in the world,” Mr. Davis said. “Ordinary winter temperatures have little effect upon insects wintering under the snow.
