He was highly esteemed by his Sullivan county medical colleagues with whom he was associated in the Sullivan . County Medical Society. He was also a member of the Indiana State Medical Society, was a fellow in tho American Medical Association and was a member of the Wabash Valley Aesculapean Society. He is survived by the widow, Mrs. Fletie Staples Deputy, whom he married in December of 1904; one daughter, Mrs. .

BULLETIN! ' LONDON, Feb. 11 (UP) The government announced today that Britain was barely holding her own in a fuel crisis which has idled some 5,000,000 workers and warned that industrial blackouts might spread throughout the country within three days. 1 The fuel ministry reported that the first day's shutoff of power to, all but essential users, saved 22,500 tons pf coal or about one-third of the usual daily consumption. . LONDON Feb. 11 (UP) The wheels of British industry slowed toward a halt today and informed sources said the deepening fuel crisis may force a shutdown of power in those regions of Scotland, Wales and England thus far unaffected by restrictions which have thrown an estimated 5,000,000 workers into idleness. The fuel shortage confounded the labor government with a political crisis of growing magnitude. Conservative party memof far sighted planning. No end was in sight to the crippling power restrictions about one-third of British inwhich already have closed down dustry and left homes with only restricted ; heating and light. Record High Of I qoI KKQQUCtlOn Coal rroductioi Hit in January TERRE HAUTE, Ind., Feb. 11. Exceeding any month's coal production in 1944, a record year for Indiana, the coal mines of the Hoosier state produced an estimated 2,585,000 tons during January,-according to a report of the Coal Trade Association of Indiana. ' i Labor trouble and car. shortage were at a minimum during the month with operating time maintained at practically all major mines. "A maintenance of the January production schedule through February will assist materially in the rebuilding of stock piles which were drawn upon so heavily during the November and December strike," stated C. C. Lydick, Managing Director of the Coal Trade Association. "Steam coal supply has been tight for some time .but with a continuation of the current production rote this condition will be improved." f Indiana production in December 1946 amounted to an estimated 1,849,000 while in January a year ago the total was approximately 2,445,000.

Reports Truman Will Veto GOP Rent Increases.

WASHINGTON. Feb. 11. (UP) Congress got word today that President Truman might veto any bill calling for a general rent increase. Senator Glen II. Taylor (D.-Idaho) passed the word around .after' visiting the president. He said Mr. Truman "is definitely opposed" to anv across-the-board rent i hike. Taylor said he "gained the impression that Mr. Truman nrobably might, veto" anv bill authorizing one. If so, the president and Sennte Republicans are headed for a clash. A GOP-ruled Senate Banking suD-commiuee is netting ready to recommend just such an increase, according to Chairman C: Douglas Buck (R.Del.). ; The rent issue moved to the fore again amid these other congressional developments: The Senate Atomic Energy Commission heard a new burst of pros and cons in the increasingly hot fight' over the nomination of David E. Lilienthal to be head of the Federal Atomic Energy Commission. The Senate Foreign Relations Committee called Sec retary of State George C. Marshall to a secret meeting Friday. Senator Wayne L. Morse (R. Ore.) said he disliked the closed shop but questioned the constitutionality of legislation to outlaw it. Newspaper Publisher J. David Stern said the American Newspaper Guild (CIO) has become "a cancerous ' growth" that threatened journalism. Advantages Of : A. I. Explained To County Farmers (This is the third in a series of articles regarding Artificial Insemination published by the County Extension Service.) ' At a meeting to be held at the Court House. Wednesday night, February 12 at 7:30 o'clock, two of the chief things which will be discussed are (1) What is expected of the Artificial Insemination Association, and (2) What is expected of its members. ' In most counties where there is an Artiffpiftl Tncminninn Accnn. iation, the association has a Board of Supervisors composed of a chairman, vice-chairman, secretary-treasurer, and three directors. It is the reponsibility of this board to carry on the business of the association. One of the most important things which it has to do is to hire an Inseminator. The Inseminator is usually paid a flat salary per month, plus mileage expenses, telephone expenses, laboratory expenses, and postage. At the end of the year, he may also receive a bonus, depending upon his efficiency. Members of the association are required to pay a life membership, the amount determined by what the association thinks ' necessary. The number of cows does not have any effect upon the cost of membership. In addition to this, there will be a breeding fee which will be paid at the time of service. For a man who has less than fifteen cows, this cost will be much less over a period of a few months than what it would cost to keep a sire or use a neighbor's. Leroy Coplen, Field Representative of the Indiana Artificial Breeding Association, will be at the meeting to discuss different points in detail. At the close of the meeting, the Krafts Food Company , will serve refreshments to all present. Six Brothers Join Up WHITING, Ind., (UP) Sixbrothers, all of this city, were initiated together in Whiting Post 80 of i the American Legion.
