( E. Masterson, of the department of marketing of the Imliana Farm Bureau, was Ihr Speaker tiefore an audience of 300 which attended a farm bureau meeting at Cloverdalc high school Tuesday night. Masterson made a sfK'lndid talk on present economic conditions and redistribution of wealth. He blamed the farmer for his present condition and pointed out that his future success depends largely on cooperation. Mrs. Elmer Mannon was in charge of an enjoyable home talent program.

The city administration has taken definite steps toward re-paving nine downtown blocks, which with the three the* state will resurface, makes twelve of the downtown blocks that will he refini bed ‘luring the next few months, or as quickly as it can

be dona.

Petitions have been in circulation for the past few weeks asking that the city refinish the two sides of the square the state will not refinish, the block on outh Jackson from the square, west on Washington from the square, and cast on Franklin from the square two blocks and south ‘ n Indiana from the square. A new surface of some eight indie of concrete will be used to make these streets permanent, so far as the present generation is concerned. Vernon Heath, city engineer, has been instructed to finish plans and specifications for this work as soon as possible and no doubt it will be ready to !«■ done when the weather

permits.
