INDIANAPOLIS, Dec. (UP)— High prices and a shortage of liquor, '•'tnhined with strict regulations gov erning its .-ale, resulted today in few displays of enthusHnsm in Indiana over rejieal of the IHth amendment. A moment aftrjr Utah ratified the repeal amendment Indianapolis druggists boosted their liquor prices Ml cents to $1 a pint. Grain alcohol was left at $l.6JI a pint. The new state ruling which permits the -ale of liquor only by drug stores and only in bottles left thirsty citi' zrjis no op|mrtunity to Celebrate at

ba rg.

In a few instances, however, bar•enders defied the law and sold whis ky by the drink, liake county offi- ■ i ds indicated they, would do nothing

to halt the practice.

At UaPorte sales of whisky by the [state drink weiq brisk and Chief of Police j Frank Tilden passed the matter off j by saying that he had received m> » Unctions from Indianapolis on

how to enforce the law.

Michigan City heer dealers also "We soiling whisky by the drink without molestation from local authorities. Many other cities were ox-

pected to follow suit.

Since only (518 of the 1,(500 drug -tores in Indiana had'licenses to sell liquor yesterday, the supply was lim tied. There was a rush for new lilenses, however, and the present permit holders planned to have amide amounts of liquor on hand within a

lew di# r s.

Be«'r containing more than 3.2 per rent alcohol was placed on sale throughout the state today. Breweries which obtained revenue stamps for flie stronger lieer included Sterling, Evansville; Kaurim and Schilling-

The wet rilic and this wet .-Sates celebrated hut in all cases th' 1 celebrations were orderly and comparatively few incidents of drunkenness^or disorderliness were reported.

AT SESSION FRIDAY

tin outlook for Indiana agriculture foi 19,24 in thi district can fie learned by farnu 1 of Putnam county who attend an outlook meeting

.Sealing down of farm debts to fit refinancing lean- is the function of farm debt conciliation committees recently pointed in Indiana counties by the goverfior, as suggested by the farm medit administration it Wash-

ington.

In Putnam county this committee is composed of Paul Alhin, Ru..sell Brown, and Glen Lyon of Gieenctstle. Clarence Branneman of (Tover- | dale, and Hairy Stamp of Rnachdale. The Indian 1 agricultun»l advisory committee, appointed by the governor a few weeks ago, formulated the county committees and recommended thejn to the governor for appointment These county committees are

now ready to function.

In most sections of the state there are many cases where the full up* praised valuation of a farm dogs not equal the fifil indebtedness on it. Under uoli conditions it is necessany to effect a conciliation between the debtor and hi; creditors if the former is to jie• permitted to retain his title, to the property. In mony cases the present occupant of the farm will return more income to the creditors than tile average man who might succeed him on the farm in event

foreclosure is resorted to.

Furthermore, suc$i debtors will do a far better job in operating the farm and maintaining the premises if they remain as title holders of the property, although under a heavy indebtedness. A caieful study of a farm debt in excess of what the Federal Land bank, 011 any other loan agency loan on the property may lead the creditors, when properly guided, in decide that the present occupant of the land may he the best jiersoii to cuntinue in possession of the property although a markeil scale down of debts is required. Whether or not .such debtors may lie refinanced, with a Federal Land bank loan, it is desirable to etVqct composition of the indebtedness on a basis that will enable worthy debtors, who are good

farmers, to pay out.

Each committee represents three farmers, one banker and one attorney in the county, who have 110 legal powers and arq non-salaried. Creditors may appeal to the committee any time for advice and assistance.
