The assessment abstracts from aJl the 92 counties of the state had been received in the office of the state board today.

THE RICHMOND PALLADIUM AND SUN-TELEGRAM, RICHMOND, IND., FRIDAY, AUG. 6, 1920.

INDIANAPOLIS CHUCKLES OVER 21 CENT-A-POUND-SUGAR INDIANAPOLIS, Aug. 6. If anything In the world is sweeter than the "lasses ca-a-ondy of popular song fame It must be the 21-cent sugar Just turned loose on the Indianapolis market. It Is not ordinary sugar. For weeks it was guarded jealousy in strong-as-Gibralter storage houses by sleek, diamond-studded speculators, who snickered and nibbed their hands every time susjar quotations went up a point. Then they got theirs, as Diogenes said to J. Caesar. They had bought up the sugar on borrowed money, the banks called in the loans and the speculators had to get out from under at any price they could obtain, which proved to be 20 cents a pound. The speculators had believed if they waited long enough they1 might get 25 or 30. Now all they have Is an empty sack, and the ultimate consumer is putting in two spoonfuls where he used one before. Most of this sugar was hoarded in Chicago and Cincinnati.

ARREST TEN IN BEGINNING OF DRIVE ON RADICALS SPOKANE, Wash., Aug. 6.

They were placed in the county jail here. The officers who conducted the arrests declared that their action is "the beginning of a wholesale campaign to arrest members of the I. W. W."

EXPECT TO DELIVER 20,000,000 TONS OF COAL BY NOV. 1. WASHINOTON. Aug. 6. Speeding up of the coal movement to the northwest sufficiently to enable delivery of 20,000,000 tons by Nov. 1 was forecast today by officials of the interstate commerce commission as a resul of the return to normal working conditions of bituminous mines in the central competitive field. Movement of 4,000 cars a day carrying 200,000 tons of coal to lake ports for trans-shipment to the northwest was -ordered by the commission, but since the order became effective July 26 only 2,400 cars, carrying about 120,000 tons a day, have been moved. Plenty of cars have been available,

officials of the commission said, but

because of strikes In Illinois and Indiana production has been insufficient to maintain a dally movement of 4,000 cars.

VETERAN OF WAR RECEIVES HELP WHEN NEEDED Expresses Thanks For Relief Trutona Gave Him After He Had Suffered Long Time

Indianapolis, Ind., Aug. 6 "Trutona has made me feel better in every way and I think it must be the fountain of youth we read so much about nowadays," says Alfred N. Middleton, 81 years old, who lives in Indianapolis at 514 West Henry street. "I contracted the rheumatism in 1862 during the Civil war, and about six years ago I began having trouble with my kidneys. I suffered severe pains in the small of my back, and in my hips. My kidneys were very weak, too. The rheumatism caused my joints to swell, and I'd become so sore at times I could not bear to have any one touch me." "I tried medicine after medicine, but none of them seemed to do me any good. But, Trutona was different from the others, for the results I've obtained from it are certainly making me feel good. My rheumatism is better than it has been for the past twenty years, and I no longer suffer the pains in my back and hips. I am eating like I used to when I was a 16-year-old boy, and I feel just like a boy, compared with how I felt three or four weeks ago." Trutona is really a medicine of unusual merit. It is unsurpassed as a reconstructive agency, system purifier and body invigorant. Trutona has been declared peerless as a treatment for stomach, liver and bowel troubles. Trutona is sold in Richmond at Quigley's Drug Stores. Advertisement.
