I edi-grams J O o One of the major labor union rules is that members are restricted from operating a business of their own while they are employed in a position which pays union •wages. The Journal Upon Its Depends Friends “Is there a doctor in the house” used to be the cry in an emergency, but now it’s “bring me a medic.” Years ago people were paid to ride horses, but in this modern age they pay for the privilege of taking a leisurely canter. Etiquet experts say that it is “utterly horrible” for one to use a piece of bread to “sop” up the gravy that is left on the plate, but nutritional experts say that it’s the very thing to do, for the best part of the meal is ofttimes washed off the plate in the dishpan. “OUNCE OF PREVENTION” > FOR AUTOMOBILE FIRES A recent survey in 426 cities among all classes of population revealed that 11.52 per .ent of all legitimate fire alarms during 1938 were calls for assistance from motorists, the Chicago Motor club reported today. A ' ery high percentage of these vere for fires caused by anti-freeze sol itions catching fire from the halted motor after leaking 'torn the radiator and hose connections, according to the motor club. Because unseasonable old snaps foretell that an early v inter is in the cfffing, here is a timely warning for motorists: “Before adding anti-fr?eze solutions during these next few weeks in preparation for winter driving, have your radiator ai d its connections carefully cheeked to prevent your car from being a fire statistic,” advises Harold Treichel, head of the motor cl b emergency road service department.

LOUIE'S GRILL BUILDS ANNEX Louie’s Grill, located on the south shore of Lake Wawasee, has been undergoing some very noticeable changes during the last week or two. It seems that Louie Soli, owner and manager of the combined grill and grocery, needed more space to be better able to take care of his patrons and so theyteconstruction and remodeling is under way. More space is being added to the rear of both the grill and the grocery department which will enable the management to seat more people and to give better and more complete service in the future. With the addition of space the management will also be belter able to make more attractive displays of merchandise and all in all, the changes will make a delightful improvement. LOCAL FARMER PRODUCES FINE LITTER OF PIC® A litter of 9 pigs farrowed by a grade Hampshire-Duroc sow and sired by a purebred Chester White male “Valley Boy,” was raised by Sherman Deaton in the Kosciusko county ton litter contest. These pigs were farrowed on April 20, and were weighed out on the 7th day of October at the age of 170 days. This litter weighed 2,181, an average of 242 1-3 lb. per pig. This is only three pounds less than the champion Indiana ton litter of 11 Chester White pigs produced by Roger Coats of Winchester, Indiana. Another litter of seven Chester White pigs were produced on the same farm and entered by Eldon James (Bud) Watkins, a 4-H club boy, weighed 1,661 at 170 days, averaging 238 pounds.

o — o | LIVESTOCK NEWS | O O (Reported by John Clay and Company.) Following last week’s jnoderate receipts, the cattle trade early this week registered a little improvement with yearlings again leading the upturn. Hogs also worked into stronger position, selling highest of the month, while lambs weakened, resulting in the $lO top quotation being erased. Demand for replacement steers and feeding lambs was of sufficient volume to handily ab« sorb the offering of these classes. Evidence of the approach of the range season end was plainly visible this week although quality of stocker and feeder cattle, as a rule, was highly desirable. Calves and light yearlings continued in relatively best demand. Montana whitefaces now form great bulk of the feeder lamb offering. In the very near future “comeback” westerns will have to be relied upon to take care of country demand. Hogs are growing out of the light weight class, while butchers scarce. Sows now form only 10 per cent of the receipts. At the present time, buyers are discriminating against lambs which had been running in corn fields, particularly s o where unfinished kinds are concerned. These “comebacks” do not attain popularity until along toward the close of November. Pork holdings are down 20 per cent since September 1, but are only eight per cent in excess of October 1, 1938, despite the fact that the slaughter of hogs in largest since 1934. Negligible imports, owing to the war, are responsible for the decrease. The recent burdensome stocks of lard have been whittled 30 per cent in a month and now show a drop of 24 per cent compared with a year ago.

HOOSIER DOCK SEASON OPENS MONDAY OCTOBER 23 •• L - — •• - BiSS!! a. ; -MM If.

Lest —Mallard ducas; right—Canada geese.

Hoosier sportsmen will celbrate the opening of the duck season next Monday. (Oct. 23) morning at 7 o’clock, with advance reports indicating better sport than was enjoyed last year, Virgil M. Simmons, commissioner of the Department of Conservation, said today. The season enas on Tuesday, Dec. 5. Included in the waterfowl which may be taken during the open season are ducks, geese, brant, Jacksnipe and coot. There is no open season on wood ducks, Ross’ geese and swans. Hunting is permitted only between the hours of 7 a.m. and 4 p.m.. Central Standard Time, and no hunting is permitted on Sunday. A daily bag limit of ten ducks; four geese and brant in the aggregate; 25 coot and 15 Jacksnipe is in effect with not more than two days’ bag limit in possession at one time. iOther regulations to be observed by duck hunters include: use of bait and live decoys is prohibited; shotguns shall not be larger than 10 guage and not hold more than three shells at any one time. All persons over sixteen years of age must have a federal “Duck Stamp” to take migratory waterfowl and all persons, regardless

of age, must have a state hunting Kcense. The Federal Migratory Bird Hunting Stamp may be purchased at postoffices at a fee of SI.OO and must have the signature of the holder written across the face of the stamp. Indiana resident hunting licenses, good for the calendar year and covering fishing and trapping as well, may be secured from county clerks, ans agents at a fee of $1.50. The state license must also bear the name of the holder. Due to weather conditions, fewsouthward flights of ducks, geese and other migratory birds have been reported. However, an unusual number of birds of these species nested on Indiana lakes and streams this year with the result that there are more “native” ducks now than at the opening of previous duck seasons. When a clerk in an employment office in Atlanta asked to see an applicant’s social security number, he began pulling off his shirt, explaining: “My social security number is tatooed on my back.” When arrested on a miuor charge in Buffalo, Jane Gillen was found to be wearing three pairs of men’s trousers.
