FARMERS CONSIDER STATE DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., - Dec. 11. Among the subjects to be considered and discussed at the coming state farmers congress, to be held here Jan. 3 and 4, will be the establishment of a Btate department of agriculture by the legislature. Joshua Strange, of Marion, chairman of the execltive committee of the congress says such a department" will be favored. The meeting of the congress, according to Mr. Strange will be devoted entirely to consideration of proposed legislation to be asked when .the lak makers meet a' few days later. - Want Uniform Ditch Laws. . Other action the congress is expected to take, according to Mr. Strange, will be favorable to legislation - for more uniform ditch laws, and a state highway commission. . The kind of a department of agriculture some members of the congress favor is similar in scope to the federal department. They would recommend to the legislature appropriations for agricultural education and development, and the legislature wduld bo expected to look to the department for Information and advice on the subject of farm legislation in the future. The department, they say, would be nonpolitical. Some have suggested that the highway department be made a part of the agriculture department. Those desiring the creation of the proposed department of agriculture say it would not in any way conflict with the present state board of agriculture.

A TANK" JK.ACTIONi
This is the first picture to be published In this country showing a British "Tank" In action on a battle field. The photograph was made by a staff photographer of the International Film Service and the Internationa News Service "Somewhere in France," and was passed by the censor in London with the "official" stamp of tht British War Office. Within a few minutes after the "Tank," shown in the background of the picture, had captured a German trench, the photographer rushed forward with the British infantry and snapped the picture as the Germans who had surrendered to the terrifying monster which a moment before had been vomiting bullets from its machine guns of the "Tank."
KEHS WILL NOT LAY; H. G. OF L. REMAINS
FORT WAYNE, Ind., Dec. 11. Residents of Allen county who has been attempting to beat the high cost of living to a certain extent by buying and keeping chickens have found a new angle to the high prices. Many of them have given up their attempts and say there is no way to "beat the game." When eggs and poultry for the table became so high many residents either bought chickens, thinking they would get an occasional egg, or kept what chickens they had raised and intended to sell. The hens have not laid to any extent, but their appetites did not diminish. Recently the
cost of feeds had been advanced, and the poultry owner not only had to buy
eggs for his own table, tut buy feed for the hens as well.
