BEVERIDGE QUARTERS MOVED FROM HOTEL; HEY FORCES HOPEFUL INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., April 1. The outstanding development In the Indi ana senatorial contest the past week, according 10 me inenas or senator ; Harry S. New, was the action taken by his opponent, Albert J. Beyeridge. in closing his headquarters In an Indian-1 aDolis hotel and transferrin them to the office of his state manager. The supporters of Senator New take this action as an Indication that Mr. Beveridge may hare given up the fight. The Deveridge supporters, however, say that it was simply done in line with the policy to reduce campaign expenses to the minimum. At the headquarters of Senator New the statement was made that reports from almost every section of Indiana 1 ;d a decided increase in the trend i showed of. sentiment toward Senator New's nomination. Charles W. Bookwalter, in charge of the Marion county and Indianapolis headquarters, said that he believed Senator New would carry Marion county including Indianapolis, by more than two to one. Announcement also was made today that because of the success of the radio speech-makig experiment of Thursday night, when an address by Senator New in Washington was plainly heard in Indianapolis, It will be staged in several other Indiana cities, Richmond being one of the places selected The date for the radio-address, however, will not be announced for Richmond until next week. WANT EVERY VETERAN LISTED IN CENSUS Registration booths have been opened for the American Legion Service census In the American Trust and Savings Bank building and the Abe Gross tailoring shop. Mrs. . Frank McCoy, Paul Andrews, Frank McCoy and Mrs. Cook will have charge of the booths. ''I want every ex-service man to understand that whether he is a mmber of the American legion or not makes absolutely no difference In this case," said Commander Powell of the Harry Ray post today. "What we are going after is a census of ex-service men; we have the members of the American legion already listed at headquarters. Anybody can sign up for the legion any time and welcome, but what we are after now is the name and the needs of every man or woman that served the United States in the World war. It happens to be the legion that is taking the census because it's all in the legion's line of work, but the census is conducted for the benefit of all the veterans of America." If any ex-service men have claims unadjusted or compensation coming that they can not collect, or are still suffering from any Injury sustained in the service, it is the request of Mr. Powell that they make sure to let their needs be known when the census starts. Information Is also wanted about employment, and if you are out of a Job do not hesitate to let the census-takers know about it. And If you are in a position to spare your share of the adjusted compensation to the immediate relief of the disabled and their families, the canvassers want your name as surely as if you were in need, say the legion men assigned to the job.

A contract for handling grain according to the United States Grain Growers plan was signed with the New Paris farmers' elevator Friday night by J. E. Scholl, ' captain of the membership soliciting team in Wayne county. By Invitation of the board of directors of the company, Mr. Scholl met with the board at the elevator, cx plained the plan, and concluded a contract with the elevator. This action was demanded not only by the elevator, but by many of its patrons who live in Wayne county and who wished to be able to take advan tage of the new plan while still patronizing the same selling point. Tho elevator has planned for affiliation with the national organization for some time, and at the annual meeting last winter, the company was re-organized, changing from an Equity to the prescribed co-operative form, solely to comply with requirements of the membership plan. The new manager also was selected largely on account of his experience in the west where co-operative marketing of grain is more common. Elevator Bonded. The elevator is being bonded as a government grain warehouse, which will make its grain warehouse receipts legal security for bank loans which can be rediscounted by federal resrv banks. Desire for a membership campaign in the whole New Paris territory was exI pressed Friday night, so that the ele vator will have a complete grain handling organization under the new plan. It is probable that the Wayne- county tea.m will cover the Prebye county territory hauling to New Paris als. but no attempt will be made to carry the campaign Into other Ohio districts.

Will Secure Another Car Of Certified Seed Spuds Another carload of certified seed potatoes will be secured for Wayne county, it was decided by farm bureau officials Friday night.

Orders for seed in this last car must be in the county agent's office by Wednesday as the car will be ordered by the middle of next week. The price will still be under $2 a bushel, it is stated, and orders will be taken for hthe three varieties, Early Ohios, Rural New Yorkers and Cobblers. - Wayne County Is Fourth In Farm Bureau Members Of the 10 Indiana counties which have the highest proportion of all farmers enlisted in the farm bureau, Wayne county stands fourth from the top, according to a tabulation published In the April "Hoosier Farmer," the official organ of the state federation.
