Penna Cites Freight Rate Differences and Disadvantage of Market as Reasons. TEIIRFI HAUTK. Ind.. Jan. 14. Vag reductions of r.O per cent for the I'nited Mine Workers of America at tii' expiration of their contract with the operators, March 31 or ooner, were demanded Saturday by P. II. penna, secretary of the Indiana Ilitumlnous Coal Operators' a.-soc;ation in a statement of tho operators of the coal industry for tho last ye-tir. I'asir.u his demands for lower costs of production en the fact that other coal fields of the country have the advantage on tho markets, Mr. Penna contends that lahor generally niuist respect the law of pupply and demand. Differences in freight rates were cited as additional reasons for the local field cutting its production costs. Mr. Penna sin wed that the rates from the central leid into Chlao had Increased 2fi per cent, while those from the istern Kentucky and West Virginia fields had heen increased only 7" per cent. Hope was expressed that tho officials of the miners would recognize the emergency ana would sign new contracts, but he predicted governmental interference in case the matter cannot bo fettled by negotiation between the employers and employes. In speaking of the new contract Mr. Penna declarerl that it would show a. lack of business ability for the operators to enter Into a twoyear agreement with the miners while labor costs generally are on the decline and pointed to past interpretations of their contracts by the miners which would allow them to bear their shade of adversity. Union Interference with the operation of the--mines is another phase which I to be contested by the owners.

Jerry Stansfield L'S local taxi man, and his uncle, Robert Ie Jarnett, 4 2. a former policeman, are .aid to have made a "clean breast" to local police and representatives of the secretary of state, who administers the automobil'. law. Their co n -Finn are said to Indicate the Ftolon automobiles were sent to a city in southern Indiana for remodelling, painting and for removal of any traces which mi?ht lead to their apPrrhrn5ion.

STATE CUTS GAS RATE IN LANSING I.A.VfilNG. Mich.. Jan. 14. Iinslr.g gas rates were reducM to J 1.33 a IO 9 cubio feet by an order of the ptihll- utilities commission Friday. The reduction is brought about through the abolition of a servir harge of 4S rents a month against ail meters. Irnsing is the only city In which the commifslon has tried such a charge and continued prot'tt against it cau-d the commission to abandon the plan. In removing the charge, the commission declared that it is still convince! that the pan of levying a pervie charge In addition to a flat rate for gas is the most equitable

way to make up a gas rate. It siys

the cange js made beau-e the pubhe misunderstands and objects to the charge. The old rate was J 1.2 3 for each l.nno feet of gas. with the additional charge of 43 cents to each customer. This, the audit of the books showed, amounted to the same as a flat rate of $1.42. The reduction of seven cents a 1.00 0 cubic feet will save tho consumers approximately $33.0 0 0.

Humus and the

Steen

burs Farms

All soils contain some matter formed by the decomposition of vegetation. This matter is called humus. It gives "life" to the soil and is of the very greatest importance in its influence' on the agricultural value of the soil. Humus gives the black color to the soil, keeps it warm and moist and lets in the air necessary for bacteria. It not only adds nitrogen and other plant foods, but improves the physical condition cf the soil and makes it congenial for plants. Too much water in a humus soil tends to make it sour and it is necessary that lime in some form be supplied. A subsoil rich in lime neutralizes the acid and makes humus soils sweet makes humus soils nitrify more rapidly than acid marsh soils. Humus soil seldom shows need of phosphorus fertilizers. It is soil such as this that covers the 3,000 acres of the Steenburg Farms and makes them the most productive and most valuable farm lands in this part of the country. The rich humus soil covers the farms in depths ranging from three to ten fet and the sub-soil rich in lime keeps the top soil neutral and sweet. The rich black fertile soil of the Steenburg Farms has produced an abundance of truck products. The average yield of onions is over 550 bushels to the acre, and ten to twelve pound heads of cabbage are not unusual. Celery, an ever marketable crop, grows well on this soil. The rich humus soil of Steenburg Farms is bringing to South Bend a progressive type of citizens, and their coming means that South Bend will soon be known as an agricultural center. Get acquainted with Steenburg Farms through this series of instructive articles on their possibilities. IS! a m ber 24
