Movie Crime Plays are Barred in Chicago (By Associated Press) CHICAGO, Jan. 4. Motion pictures portraying criminals at work have been barred in Chicago it became known today. Chief of Police Fitz morris announced that three weeks ago he had issued orders to movie censors not to issue permits for any photoplay that showed a crime com mitted, even though the end of the picI ture might show the criminal in a prison cell. It will make no difference whether the criminal shown is a hero or a villain," said the chief. Even the showing of a policeman disguised as a burglar is "tabooed." The order became public when three youthful robbers who were sentenced to the state reformatory at Pontiac said their crimes had been inspired by a "crook" moving picture. PARIS MEXICAN BANK TO OPEN DOORS SOON (By Associated Press) MEXICO CITY, Jan. 4 The ParisMexico banking company with a capital stock of 14,000,000 pesos did not open its doors for business today but a treasury department announcement last night said it was expected the institution would resume operations within a month and liquidate all claims. Loans of 4,000,000 pesos on cotton. 2,000,000 on sugar and 2,000,000 on other merchandise all of which products have decreased in value within the last month, were recently made by the bank, and caused a run by depositors. Among the concerns having large funds in the bank were several important French companies. There has been considerable unrest recently in banking circles because of the low prices of cotton and silver. The Laguna district in the state of Coahuila, which grows the bulk of Mexico's cotton crop, had a large production this year, but within the last two montho prices have decreased almost one-half, making it impossible to ship the cotton at a profit.

SURPLUS STOCKS HELD BY INDIANA FARMERS "Farmers are considerably discouraged over prevailing prices of Itye stock and other farm products," says George C. Bryant, agricultural statis tician for the co-operative crop reporting service, in his report of Indiana farm conditions for the last half of December. He says: "Many farmers are refusing to market their surplus stocks. Fall plow-l ing and other outdoor work contin ued during the nice weather, but has been at a standstill the last few days. Roads are in bad condition. "With the exception of a few fields of soft corn and some that were left for hogging down, practically all has been gathered. The recent freezing weather was beneficial to soft corn, j "Winter wheat and rye will be much I benefited by the recent snow which covered the greater part of the state, j ranging in depth from one to six inches. Some Hessian fly damage is reported, but generally the crop3 are considerably improved over a month ago. "Young clover continues good and , will go into the winter under favor-, able conditions. "Live stock generally is in good. condition, although there is some cholera among hogs. Feeding operations have slowed down materially in the last month due to unfavorable market conditions. "Farm labor is plentiful." Lexington Tobacco Sales Called Off Market I OuCLV (By Associated Press) ' LEXINGTON, Ky.. Jan. 4.

LIST STOCK AT ONCE, URGE TO CENTERVILLE SHIPPERS ASSOCIATION CENTERVILLE. Ind., Jan. 4. Formation of a co-operative livestock shipping association was the principal business of the gathering of the regular meeting of the Center towuship Farmers association in the town hall here, Monday evening The livestock marketing committee. Arvel Dailey, Thad Nichols, and Harry Smith, reported that Orville Hoover had been selected as manager, but had not definitely accepted. The fee Tor handling the stock was fixed at not to exceed 10 cents per hundred. Persons who have stock to ship were urged to list it with the association immediately, in order that the new method of handling the stock could be initiated at once. Objects Stated. The object of the association was stated to be to eliminate useless hand'ing, to gtt a price nearer (to the Indianapolis price and to cut down the distance between the producer and the consumer. Besides offering a plan for selling less than carload lots with out sacrificing them the association would get a better price for individual animals, such as canners, which are always bought on a libtral margin. "Our success will depend upon our loyalty to the orgar.ization," said Mr. Dailey. "We should all patronize it and ship through it whenever we have any stock to ship." "I think we should ship full carloads through the asociation," said Nichols, another member of the livestock com mittee." It would strengthen the ss sociation and cost little. The manager I wouldn't have to do much in that case J and a lower fte could be charged." Coal Offer Considerable. The printing of constitution and letterheads and buying of other supplies was decided upon and the committeel nuthorized to draw upon the federation treasu ry, the draft to be considered a loan. An offer of coal in carload lots from Greene county was considered, but no action taken. The secretary read a letter from the Federated Marketing Service of the State Federation presenting the plan for pooled buying of fertilizers and an ' interested discussion of it occupied the greater part of the time. The fact ! (tint .i, , 1 ,1 liirtta at tbia time was considered a disadvantape but sentiment seemed in favor of "tp.kme a cnance on me Market service, "We ought to have confidence in our organization, said Crowder. a farmer "k IU"J'- . " a support it since we've joined it. "The Federation should get the fertilizer pretty cheaply," said Thad Nichols. "When the Federation gets the pooled orders of the 90 counties of Indiana it will be the biggest buyer that has ever been in the market and it is reasonable to think that it will get a rock-bottom price." It was decided finally to hold a special called meeting after the board meeting at Richmond, when more detailed information could be obtained. A more, intensive use of the school was a proposed feature of the next meeting. "We're established partly to save money." Dailey remarked, "and we can save by using the school house for our meetings. It is always readv. since it has to be kept heated, will noid us an. ami o umuK il and by using it we will save the trouble and expense of! preparing a hall especially for this meeting.
