The Blue Sky Law Investors who are approached by stock brok-

Jers should keep in mind that the blue sky law passed by the special session of the legislature is not a protection against the raids of promoters on the savings of Indiana citizens. Close study of the law as finally enacted by the legislature has convinced supporters of blue sky legislation that the measure leaves many openings by which the dishonest stock salesmen may operate in Indiana. By striking out the words "principal or agent,' and making the law apply only to the "issuer," the legislature, so G. F. Olwin, manager of the Better Business Bureau of Indianapolis says, the state has been left a green pasture for shrewd promoters of stock selling schemes. The elimination of a section calling for pub

licity surrounding the issuing of stock also weakened the law. What blue sky promoters dread more than anything else is publicity of their methods. The publicity required by the eliminated section would have given the investing public precisely the data that would have enabled it to decide if the stock" offering was bona fide or intended primarily to1 enrich the men who were promoting its sale. Investors, therefore, should remember that the presence of a blue sky law in Indiana does

not of necessity mean that stock offerings have

been examined by the state authorities and are

intrinsically worthy of purchase.' The law will

require overhauling by the next legislature to

make it an effective barrier to the dishonest pro

moters against whom it was primarily directed.

Blue sky legislation in Indiana nas naa a rocky course. Efforts to enact a bill have been

successfully blocked for many years. When the special session finally passed a measure the people of Indiana believed that a stop had been put to the financial raids which stock pirates have made on unwise people. The disclosure that the law is almost worthless as a preventive against stock sale promoters was a surprise. Investors, if they want to keep their money, must scrutinize offerings as carefully, if not more so, than they did before the law was added

to the statutes.

$850 IS PAID FOR SWEEPSTAKE LADY AT GAMBLE EVENT

By WILLIAM R. SANBORN. A thoughtful young farmer, with rumpled hair and clad in a blue shirt, sat dreaming of good white hogs. As he gazed into the sale ring, studying the beauty and symmetry of Sweepstake Lady, Second, he made a momentous decision. This decision cost him $ 850. But he got this 3 year

old Chester White daughter of Wildwoods and Sweepstake Lady, and was content. His name is C. L. Westhoven, hailing from Lancaster, O. This happened at exactly 8:35 on Tuesday evening, August 10th.

Today's Talk By George Matthew Adams

BLESSED IS THE MAN WHO HUNGERSl When we think of hungry people, we usually have in mind those whose stomachs are getting anxious. But, It is possible for one to starve with a full meal on its digesting way. Soul and Spirit hunger are able to stop the stoutest heart from pumping. The world is always full of human wanting that which is not bread folks who are starving for love, for i appreciation, for companionship, for '. conversation, for understanding, for j beautiful things, for the touch that ; warms the heart and spurs the tired t and restless spirit. Blessed is the man who hungers. For only as one hungers after these .things which he most desires, is he 'able to find any measure of relief and satisfaction. Who is there among us that as a child would have had his fill of all the candy for which he hungered ? Was not the fulfillment but a promise of the day when we should no longer hunger for that child desire? And so it shall be with us all who hunger on and on. Who is there who would have all

his desires fulfilled? What great man has not at some time or other gone sorely hungry in body? In loneliness shall some of us always hunger. - But "blessed are they that hunger and thrist after righteousness for they shall be filled."

The Farm and the Farmer By William R. Sanborn

v Farmers are complaining that these spasmodic showers are not what the corn crop needs, principally because they "skip" so much territory. For instance, we have had two or three sudden and heavy downpours in Richmond which did not extend half way to Centerville. Arthur Curme says that what the corn at Reidston needs is a good wetting down and that the dust has scarcely been laid over his way in three weeks. On the other hand Richmond was

absolutely dry for several days; not a

fcign of rain. On calling Economy the elevator there reported that threshing was backward on account of rain. There have been occasional heavy rains in the northern part of Wayne this summer, with never a drop falling south of Chester. Farmers in the Centerville district complain that they haven't had their fair share of rain

in the past month. At this particular lime belated corn especially needs

good rains. Certified Seed. Over 8,000 bushels of wheat. 6.500 of oats and 3,000 bushels of rye will

be listed as "certified seed" this season. This certification of seed originated with the Indiana Corn Growers' association, in connection with Purdue. Thirty-three farmers in 20 counties have been able to stand the rigid inspection established. But three men In, two counties were able to furnish rye up to requirement, and each grew the Rosen variety. Five varieties of wheat will be certified, some of which are more suitable to tho southern than to the northern half of the state. High Priced Berkshires. It Is reported from Martinsville, Ind., that a your?: Berkshire boar brought $6,1:50 and a junior gilt $4,900. The boar went to a Tipton man and the pilt was rurcliused by W. A. Fitzsimmons r.f Boston. The sale was held on the Gossurd breeding farm at Martinsville. An average price of $665 was obtained for 37 head. Clyde I.evorton of Milton, the Chester White hog man, dropped in at The Palladium office on Tuesday, enroute to a breeder's sale at Greenville, Ohio. After discussing hogs Mr. Leverton incidentally remarked that Richmond stores are so overflowing with potatoes that farmers who have brought them in were unable to And a market during the past week. Interesting Demonstration. At the meeting of the Franklin township federation on Monday night at Whitewater, an authority on poultry culture said that he had recently culled out 201 hens from a flock of 390, that the owner had kept the culls separated for three days and that the 201 had laid but 4 eggs in that time. Better than CO per cent of the remainder laid during the same three days. This Fhows tho advantage of weeding out the "loafers." Earl Crawford made an Instructive talk on farm legislation, what the recent session did at the instance of the farmers, and what remained to be accomplished In the line of desirable legislation. Tho attendance was quite largo in spite of the rain. The next regular meeting will be held at Bethel on the second Monday in September.
