"BLUE SKY" LAW IS

JUST ROTTEN FARCE. SAY BUSINESS MEN

"The Indiana blue sky law, enacted

at the special session of the legislature, in my opinion, is an Ideal stock salesman's law, G. F. Olwin. manager of the Indianapolis better business bureau, said.

The bill, he said, as it passed tne legislature of 1919 and first passed the house at the special session, was a good bill and designed to protect the

public. The amendments made in the senate and accepted by the house transformed it Into a monstrosity as far as an effective law is concerned he asserted. "It is not . such a law as the public has been demanding, and bad a right to expect." he said. Statement of Olwin. Discussing some of the amendments that, in his opinion, destroy the effectiveness of the law, Mr. Olwin said: "The first amendment struck out the words 'principal or agent' in the Section 1. and inserted the word 'is suer,' making this and succeeding sec tions apply only to the 'issuer, who

may 'undertake by advertisement, cir

of stock, most any sort of a deal may be put over without the knowledge of the investing public."

Mr. Kennedy says they have had a

few showers which interfered some-' w "r Xou h agent, or what with threshing, but that nearly . ' ,Tf?erinV

rKEEP UP HUNT FOR PROFITEERS, SAYS FIGG The United States district attorney and government agents in Indiana should continue their hunt for profiteers and bring the offenders before the grand Juries for indictments in

spite of the recent decision of Judge A. B. Anderson declaring parts of the Lever act unconstitutional, says Howard Figg, special assistant to A. Mitchell Palmer, attorney-general. Mr. Figg came to Indiana on personal business before starting on a trip to the Pacific coast. "I have advised Stanley Wyckoff, fair price commissioner for Indiana," .f.ld Mr. Figg, "and all prosecuting attorneys and government investigators that htey should keep up the hunt for profiteers and where they have exact information, to bring offenders before (he grand jury for indictment.

RICHMOND GIRL IS GIVEN BAPTIST ASSEMBLY DIPLOMA FRANKLIN. Ind., Aug. 9.

The closing address was made by the Rev. U. S. Clutton, of Indianapolis, president of

all the wheat has been taken in out of the wet and that the bulk of the oats are threshed. The late showers

have helped corn, which looks fine. Two loaded cars came In at the elevator Monday morning. Greensfork has room for grain. Boston, Kitchell, Fountain City Reports from Boston, Kitchell, -Witt Station and Fountain City on Monday was to the effect that each of these points was bidding $2.20 for number 2 wheat and paying 3 cent premium for number 1. Ben Price stated that they had sold so much wheat ahead

that they could afford that price today

and that their all day figure on oats would be 60 cents. Some Cars at Lynn Earl Adamson, of the Lynn mill and elevator, said that they had received a few cars of late, not as many as needed, but they were still taking in grain. Their price on Monday forenoon was $2.15 on number 1 wheat and 65 cents on oats. Asked as to flour Mr. Adamson said It was In demand, and that today's price was $13 per barrel for old wheat flour, at wholesale. Increased Wheat Yield

County Agent Jackson, of Putnam, reports that 200 pounds of 16 per cent acid phosphate fertilizer had given about a ten bushel per acre increase in wheat yield on two farms In this

county. These farms were used for demonstration purposes and a number of farmers were present at the demonstration meetings.

Mendenhall, manager of the elevator at Economy, reported paying $2.10 for number 2 wheat on Monday, and 57 cents for oats. He said they had but little room for grain, but had loaded out two cars of oats since last
