GOVERNOR FINALLY SIGNS FIREMENSV TEACHERS' BILLS
INDIANAPOLIS, Aug. 5. Governor Goodrich Wednesday signed the teachers' salary bill and the measure compelling the establishment of the two-platoon system in fire departments of cities exceeding 15.000 population. Five other measures passed by the special session of the legislature, which ended last Friday, were rejected. The rejected measures included the amendments to the county unit road law and the amendment to the state highway commission law, -whereby contractors could collect 100 per cent of the estimated value of completed new work. Under the constitutional provisions, Wednesday was the last day for executive action on the bills passed by the special session. The teachers' bill provides for an increase of approximately 30 per cent in salaries and establishes $800 as the minimum that can be paid to any teacher in Indiana. This measure was
strenuously opposed township trus
tees and farmers.
Senator Oliver Kline, of Hunting
ton, chairman of the education com
mittee in the upper house, fought the measure on the floor. He declared that trustees had already made their
contracts for the coming school year,
and that they would not have suffi
cient funds to pay additional salaries. Objections to Teachers' Bill.
Aside from lack cf revenue to pay salaries there was opposition to the measure because the minimum will tend to lengthen the term of school In
rural communities.
This was one of the arguments used
aeainst the bill before its passage
Senator Kline held that rural children should not be kept In school as
long as city children because part of their education consists in learning how to work on the. farm. The governor said that he signed the two platoon bill with the understanding that the firemen will not oppose an amendment to the 1921 legislature extending the time for tha act to take effect, until July 1, 1921. Under the provisions, of the act all cities of more than 15,000 population are compelled to Institute two platoons in their fire departments. Officials of several cities told the governor that they will not have enough revenue to establish the new nystem by the first of the year, but that it could be accomplished by July, 1921, as they will be able to make a. levy this year, in anticipation of the new expense.

Harley Billman, of New Madison, O., said Wednesday that, so far, the lowest price they had paid for wheat was $2.40, as they had a full elevator and no cars to ship out in since the price fell so rapidly. Mr. Billman said that while the rain on Saturday helped corn and pastures, the wind and hail had damaged corn in places, much of it having been blown down, "or set to leaning." He says that Quite a little hail fell inside of a few minutes. The young lady in charge of the county agent's office at Liberty says that letetrs have been received from
Purdue, promising that an acceptable party would soon be recommended to Union county, and that an official
way. At the meeting of the federation j directors it was decided that the office
should be kept open, as usual, and that the young lady who had acted as secretary to M. A. Nye, recently resigned, should have charge of the correspondence, etc., In the interim. Made Hfs July Shipment. J. F. Seagraves, of the elevator at Losantville, says that they have not been taking in any wheat for several days, not having any room for it. He had wheat sold to go east in July and was fortunate enough to get in one car on July 30, which left on the 31, thus saving a cancellation or a much lower price acceptance. Only about two-thirds of the wheat is threshed around Losantville, and they will begin threshing oats this week. With good weather threshing will run about two weeks longer. Taking In Oats Dally. "We paid 65 cents for oats today and have taken in more than 2,000 bushels to date," said E. V. McClure, of Eldorado. "There are some good, heavy oats here, the cut often running up to 50 bushels per acre. Our trouble is lack of cars. We have much more wheat sold for shipment than we have been able to deliver, which puts us 6hort of the market in a way. Farmers hesitate to sell wheat around $2 and thel can't be blamed for storing for a better price, and many of them will. Very little wheat remains to be threshed." Best Crop 18 Bushels. But little grain is being received at Milton, although they have all the cars needed to load It. It is stated that the best crop coming in at that station ran 18 bushels to the acre and weighed CO pounds. As an instance of how sensitive the country markets are to hourly central market changes it may be said that Milton quoted 58 pound wheat at $2.10 early Wednesday morning, but when Chicago reported a break of 9 cents from Tuesday's close, the price was lowered to $2. Two hours later Chicago wheat was selling between $2.25 and $2.2S, and the price at Milton, Beeson's Station and Bentonville, climbed back to $2.10 for the rest of the day. It is estimated that about one-half the wheat in above districts is going into farm granaries. The grain situation remains quiet at Hagerstown, there being no rush to
market wheat at prevailing prices. Hagerstown got in some wheat at $2.10 on Wednesday, according to Frank Thompson, but many farmers have decided to take a chance and hold for better prices. He thinks that about one-third of the wheat crop remains to be threshed and there are some oats to follow.
TWO MEN ARE INJURED IN THRASHING ACCIDENTS EVANSVILLE, Ind., Aug. 5. Ernest Eubanks, working at a thrashing machine near here, had his right arm so badly mangled while feeding the machine, that it was necessary to amputate it at a local hospital.

Marion County Farmers War on Horizontal Raises INDIANAPOLIS, Aug. 5. Serving notice that the members of the Marlon County Farmers' federation have de

LAFAYETTE, Ind., Aug. 5. Reports
that the apple crop prospects are dis
couraging this year have met with de
nial from officials of the Purdue ag
ricultural experiment station, who de
clare that the outlook is particularly bright throughout the state. In individual cases, they say, where the yield has fallen below expectations, the trouble is attributed to neglect In spraying the young fruit. It is said that, with the prevalence of coddling moths and other fruit pests, it is virtually impossible these days to operate a successful orchard unless spraying is resorted to.
zontal increases as made possible under the Tuthill-Kiper curative tax act, representatives of the farmers appeared before the county board of review today at the courthouse. Attorney William Bosson. representing the farmers, served notice upon County Auditor Fesler, County Treasurer Ralph Lemcke and Assessor Jefferson that the farmers would go into
the courts if the state board of review attempted to maintain the - illegal horizontal increases on the tax duplicates for 1919 under guise of the Tuthill-Kiper act.

To save the miners time a canteen has been placed 500 feet below ground in a coal mine in Europe.
