Record Wheat Crop Expected This Year A batch of figures given out by the department of agriculture showing winter wheat crop prospects are Indeed encouraging. They Indicate that this country may have a total winter and spring wheat yield of 919,000,000 bushels, LARGEST ON RECORD, and surely conditions 'surrounding the wheat situation in this country and in Europe well indicate .that such a tremendous supply would meet a good market. There need be small fear that the farmer will get a sharply decreased price for his wheat even if the war in Europe ends within the next few months. Europe at best cannot get back into wheat production on a normal scale for a year or two, even if the fighting over there should cease within the next few months. , Our surplus wheat stocks have been lowered as result of the enormous ex(ports since last fall, and we're going to need a new record crop this year to put ' ourselves in a comfortable position as regards supply for domestic use. The winter wheat yield, as estimated for April 1, is 619,000,000' bushels, compared with an estimate of 680,000,000 bushels on December 1, 1914, while the harvest a year ago was 684,990,000 bushels. , The department estimates a yield of 16.9 bushels an acre on the area ; planted last fall, and condition on April 1 was shown to have improved slightly over December 1. That's significant of a favorable situation, and, allowing for an average depreciation from April to harvest, this country will still produce a grand crop, the effects of which must necessarily be a bolstering infhience in the farmer's faith in future prosperity in this country. His market for every bushel of wheat and other grain is assured him. He knows he is going to get a good long price for it, and he views his prospects generally this season as brighter than ever before. ; TRULY THIS IS A SPRING SEASON THAT IS OFFERING THE FARMER EVERY REASON FOR LOOKING CHEERFULLY TO THE FUTURE.

EGG SHOW AT PURDUE HELPS EGG QUALITY SAYS POULTRY EXPERT At the present time the Purdue egg show is the only one of its kind in this part of the country. But judging by the elaborate preparations and the interest which is being Bhown by persons engaged in poultry and egg production in Indiana and other states, the 1915 exhibit will be able to accomplish the purposes for which it is held better than ever before. If eggs shows should .become as common as poultry shows are, another stimulus would be furnished the poultry industry which would undoubtedly result in 2ie production of more and better eggs. Improve Egg Quality. Harry M. Layman of the poultry investigation division of the United States department of agriculture says in speaking of egg Bhows: '.'It seems to me that they are the surest means of improving the quality of the farm egg at the present time." The Purdue egg show, however is doing more than to improvve the quality of eggs. It is furnishing an instructive exhibition of how to grade and market eggs and is establishing a uniform standard for the poultry products. In this way it. is helping the producer to realize ' more value from his eggs, since he can demand a higher price for a uniform dozen than for a mixed lot of all ages, sizes and shapes. The exhibition will be held this year on May 4,' 5 and 6 in theagricultural building at the university. The premium list, which is now ready for mailing, gives a detailed announcement of all classes and awards, together with a description of the score cards, according to which these classes will be judged.

GRAZED BY AUTO; GETS BLOOD POISON

William McGee is confined in a ward at Reid Hospital suffering from a sever case of blood poisoning as the result of a very peculiar accident. A few , days ago while crossing a street he narrowly escaped being run down by an automobile. As the machine passed him a fender grazed his right arm, barely breaking the skin. Within a short time blood .poisoning developed and now the unfortunate man's arm is swollen to three times its normal size. The attending physician says his condition is critical, although there is a chance to save his life. .

PROPERTY OWNERS ON NORTH A STREET CONTINUE OPPOSITION Property owners on North street have not given up their fight to prevent the paving of that thoroughfare, and improvement ordered by council by a vote of 11 to 1 at a meeting last Monday night. These property owners will in all probability appeal the action of council to the circuit court. Today Calvin Young was circulating a petition among the property owners on the street, asking that the circuit court overrule the councilmanic order, and it is understood that the big majority of the resident owners had signed. It was the intention of the remonstrators to file the brief in the circuit court this afternoon. One point the remonstrators emphasize in the brief is the fact that the city has no authority to assume the cost of placing the pavement in front of the government building, which the city decided to do when the government refused to meet this expense. CARNEGIE ENDOWMENT BACKS TROJAN WOMEN The officials of the Carnegie endowment, believing that "The Trojan Woman," to be given on Wednesday eVening, April 14, by the Little Theatre company of Chicago, is the most effective means of centering national thought upon the Women's Peace Crusade, is financing the Little Theatre company for the purpose of spreading the propaganda for universal peace, started by the Women's Peace Party of America, whose head is Jane Addams. This is to be an enormous organized war against war. The fight is to be carried on throughout the nation, its ai mbeing to create a huge sentiment of opposition to the entire principle of international conflict. Theatrically the event will be interesting as the new stage art will be demonstrated in the settings. The sale at Ross' drug store is proceeding satisfactorily, the prices being popular.

Receivers for the Richmond Brick company were asked in circuit court today by the First National bank in a suit for the collection of $13,000. The bank alleges the brick company Is Insolvent and can not pay its debts.

Approximately one thousand people attended the event. Weisbrod's four-piece orchestra furnished the music for six hundred dancers until midnight, and a country store held under the directions of employes of the factory, gave universal enjoy, ment. The lower floor of the factory was used for dancing and also held the various booths of the amusement concessions. In honor of the company's employes at Indianapolis, a banquet will be served to two hundred persons at 6 o'clock tonight at the factory, and at 7 o'clock the doors will be opened to the public for dancing and other amusements. PROBE PAYMENT OF TOWNSHIP PHYSICIAN Many of the terms under which township physicians have been employed and paid in the past few years, may be illegal, it was learned today when the county commissioners started an investigation. The discovery was made by the filing of a disputed claim for $100 by Dr. Jones of Franklin township. The law was consulted and found to differ with the custom. The commissioners will secure data next week relative to the employment and payment of physicians in all townships in Wayne county. RURAL CARRIERS HELP An order of the post office department extending C. O. D. and parcel insurance to rural routes will add little to the accommodations now being given farmers served by Richmond rural carriers. Superintendent of Mails Handley said today: While the rural carriers do not carry the necessary stamps and blanks with them, they accept the parcels as an accommodation. Few farmers take advantage of the C. O. D. and insured parcel plan in dispatching but many receive both insured and C. O. D. parcels from mail order houses.

BULLETIN. CHICAGO, April 10. Judge Carpenter in Federal court today refused to grant an injunction to the minority stockholders of the Chicago Rock Island and Pacific railroad to prevent the annual meeting of stockholders next Monday. The court held that the Illinois constitution does not specify that it is illegal to classify directors. CHICAGO, April 10. Minority stockholders in the Chicago, Rock Island . and Pacific railway, before Federal Judge Carpenter, have asked for an injunction against the annual meeting of stockholdes next Monday, called to elect directors.

Vale of Philadelphia, representing more than 1,200 minority stockholders of the company, filed the bill asking the court to "forever restrain and enJoin the holding of the meeting of stockholders of the railway company on April 12, unless at the meeting to be held there shall be elected thirteen directors, of whom a majority shall be citizens of Illinois."

CONSPIRATORS FEAR DAY OF JUDGMENT INDIANAPOLIS, April 10. That the feeling of apprehension among the convicted Terre Haute conspirators is becoming acute as the judgment day approaches was indicated today by the early arrival here of Eli H. Redman, Vigo county circuit judge, Ed. Holler, former chief of police and several other defendants. Redman came to confer with Frank Robey, his attorney, while Holler sought a conference with District Attorney Dailey. It was learned that several plans to dodge the penitentiary likely will be made in behalf of the convicted men. These include a motion for a new trial, appeal to a higher court, an application for a writ of error and an effort to secure temporary freedom on superseded bonds. Court will open at 10 o'clock Monday when it is expected that there will be no absentees among the convicted men. MINORS GET LICENSE Swinging parental opinion in their favor, Chelsia Shonkwiler, aged 17, a seamstress, and Glen Forrest Locke, 20, an employe of the factory in which Miss Shonkwiler, is employed, were able to secure a marriage license -today.

BETS AGAINST HOLLAND. LONDON, April 10. Lloyds today quoted 50 per cent for six months insurance against Holland poining the war. "I, on behalf of the committee and the members thereof, demand that you forthwith exhibit and allow to be inspected the stock books and transfer books and that you permit me or them to take extracts direct from them. Books Ordered Closed. The demand, it Is alleged, was refused and on January 28, 1915. the Sheldon committee began a systematic solicitation of the stockholders, having free access to the books. By a vote of the directors, it is further alleged, the books were ordered closed April 2. to be kept closed until after the annual election, April 12. Between March 29 and April 22, the petition alleges. 246.000 shares of stock were sold upon the New York Stock Exchange. The records of these transfers, it is asserted, is being kept secret from the minority stockholders, but is made known to the majority faction. Only Four in Illinois. The petition alleges that only four of the directors Edward S. Moore, James H. Moore. John J. Mitchell and Henry U. Mudge are resident of the state. The other directors Daniel G. Reid, Robert S.

They ask for at least thirty days more time in which to make preparations for the election.

YOUNT'S STORY CAUSES JURORS TO IIOLDJUNCII Statements Made When Slo Machine Agent Visitec Richmond Form Basis fo: Indictments.

Evidence obtained in Richmond con cernlng the alleged relations betweei Lloyd Yount, the young slot machlnagent, and Mayor Bunch of Muncie played an important part in the actloi of the Delaware county grand Jury ii indicting the Muncie executive on th charge of having accepted bribes. This fact became known today whei Prosecutor Will Reller stated that be fore the Delaware county grand jurj began its sessions a representative o: the Delaware circuit court visitec Richmond and while here was inform ed that Yount had asserted that he had been paying Mayor Bunch a stipulated sum each week for the privilege of operating slot machines in that city; and that Mayor Bunch bad suggested to him to call upon Mayor Robbins of Richmond, for the purpose of arranging for the placing of slot machines in this city. Provides .Information. "That Is the information I want." the Delaware county official declared. Within a few days the Delaware grand jury was assembled and one of the first witnesses called before it was Yount. It is understood that in bis testimony he corroborated the charges it was alleged he had made while in this city concerning Mayor Bunch. Since the indictment of Mayor Bunch true bills have been returned by the grand jury against quite a number of Muncie officials, including the chief of police and the deputy prosecuting attorney. Prosecutor Reller said today that he did not believe he nor anyone else who figured in the arrest of Yount in this city following Yount's arrest for attempting to bribe Mayor Robbins and the prosecutor would be summoned as witnesses in the trial of the Muncie graft cases. "The charges Yount made against Mayor Bunch while in Richmond will undoubtedly be repeated by that young man when he is called as a witness for the state in the trial of Mayor Bunch. So it would be unnecessary to subpoena as witnesses Richmond people with whom Yount talked, unless of course, Yount might happen to deny ever having made such charges against Bunch while he was in Richmond." Prosecutor Reller said. DR. DAVIS RESIGNS STATE HEALTH BOARD Dr. T. Henry Davis of this city, for twenty-two years a members of the state board of health retired from active service yesterday at a meeting of the board in Indianapolis and bade good-bye to Governor Ralston. The governor expressed his appreciation of Dr. Davis' services. A testimonial concerning his work was also prepared by a committee appointed by the board. "I only hope that the Governor finds some one for my successor who is as much interested in public health work as I have been," said Dr. Davis. "I am ready to quit active service, but I shall not lose my interest in the public health work." SICKNESS DECREASES SAY VISITING NURSES There is much less sickness In Richmond now than there has been at any time this winter, according to Mrs. Benner-Linton, visiting nurse. The first report made since Miss Fuller has been added by the Domestic Science association, shows that patients have have twice as many visits as before. Mrs. Linton said, thus making the work more efficient. A total of 211 home visits were made in March in addition to thirtyfive social service visits, making a total of 246 visits.
