INDIANA FLOUR CAMPAIGN The campaign for the use of, Indiana wheat flour for Indiana ph\ vas • <:• .u ?U!a' •! ‘ two years ago is succeeding remarkably well, judging from reports made by a large number of nvoinen and commerchl bakeries over Indiana. Many of these re-; j ports are embodied in a new bulletin. “Bread from Indiana; Wheat,” just published by the Agricultural Extension Depart- : ment of Purdue University. Enitire townships and counties have I taken up the campaign through the farm bureaus or home econoI mics clubs and many farm and I city women have taken up the use of Indiana flour for their jhome baking. A large number ;of bakeries also have used the loical flour to advantage. Through the efforts of the load millers, county agents, and specialists, numerous exhibits and demonstrations have been held throughout Indiana. As a result of these demonstrations, thousands of women have become’ familiar with the nierjts of the fl ur milled from Indiana wheat. Most of the women and commercial bakers report that the flour made from Michikoff wheat, the new hard red wheat developed by the Agricultural Experiment Station at Purdue and which is showing sirh good results generally over the state, is making especially good flour and baked products. The bulletin contains several excellent recipes used by Hoosier housewives who enjoy wide reputations for theirability as bakers. Several commercial bakery recipes also are included. In a foreword ti the bulletin. President E. C. Ellrqtt of Purdue mentions the favorable baking

The Character of Our People From it have come the patience and the wisdom which have reconciled effective authority and adequate liberty. From it has come the tolerance which has preserved freedom of speech, of press and of pulpit. From it has come the foresight which es tablished free public schools. From it has come the courage which commanded adherence to principle at the cost of selfish gain, even at the cost I of life itself. . From it has come thl?, j respect; for the rights and privilqk<A s * iof fallow i£an which has found . T expression in guaranties of equal rep- i I resentation and universal suffrage. The character of our people Is a spring which has never run dry. It has had its source ever and always in the stern and firm faith of the Pilgrim fathers —a political faith ; based upon and grounded in the tenets of the Christian religion. Despite every other influence, the strong and steady current of the Pilgrim’s faith has persisted through generation after generation. It is this invaluable resource—the capacity and character of our people —that has made America great in the past, that will make America greater and more powerful in the future. As long as we uphold our established standards of belief and conduce we need have no fear for the future of - America.

SOME FACTS ABOUT RAILWAY WAGtS “Most-'of the railway labor leaders are participating in the ■ LaFollette political movement to i. promote public ownership of railways.” says the Railway Age. j “Meantime, the leaders of the j Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers and the Brotherhood of i Firemen and Enginemen are en-| gaged in a controversy with the i western railways over wages and working conditions. “In view of these facts it is interesting at the present time to consider the earnings being made by engineers and firemen and also union rules that affect their wages. The average wage of all passenger engineers on Class I roads in 1923. according to the statistics of the Interstate Commerce Commission, was $254 a month, or $3,048, a year; ! cf freight engineers. $257 a month, or $3,084 a year; of pas--1 senger firemen, SIBB a month, or ( $2,256 a year; and of freight fire[men, $179 a month, or $2,148 a ■ vear. There have been advances in these wages on some of =the i railways this year. The farmer who has been hard up and whom [the labor leaders are trying to i get to vote for government ownei ship, seems likely to think, if 'given these facts, that engineers and firemen are prettv well paid. ! Furthermore, it would seem reasonable that engineers and firemen themselves should think they are pretty well paid and should have doubts as to whether they would be' better off under nrhlic ownership. They would find it difficult to discover any clashes of postal or other government employees doing comparable work that are as well paid. “There are, however, some other important facts to be considered. The wages given are averages. This necessarily means that mtfny engineers and firemen iw*t*e than the amounts statfed. Furthermore, by abolishing i certain rules the unions themselves are responsible for, they could make their earnings still higher than they are now. There is in effect on practically all the western lines what is called the Chicago Joint Agreement.’ Wages of engineers and hhsed principally upon the nhleafee run by them. The ‘Chicago Joint Agreement’ requires regular! v assigned men in passenger service to lay off when they have run the equivalent of 4,800 miles a vear and men in freight service to lay off when they have run the equivalent of 3,800 miles. Some of the western roads have made records of. the number of davs in the year 1923 that individual engineers and firemen assigned to regular runs were forced to lay off because they had reached the maximum mileage barrier. These records show’ that in many cases the engineers and firemen, on account of t£is restrictive rule, lost from 30 upwards of 100 days’ work, and that in spite of this a substantial percentage of engineers earned from $3,000 tq S4J)OO and of firemen from $2,000 to $3,000. If these men had worked full time the earnings of some firemen would have been as much as $3,500, and of some engineers as much as $5,000. For example, take the cases of ten firemen who made average earnings of $2,285 in spite of the fact that, because of the Chicago Joint Agreement.’ thev laid off an average of 132 days. For the 233 days’ average time actually worked they made average earnings of $9.81 a day. If they had worked 365 service days their average earnings would have been $3,581. If they had only taken one day off each week, they would have earned an average of $3,070, or $785 more than they did. “Again, take the case of ten engineers who made average earnings of $3,643 and laid off an average of 110 days. Their <Mly ■earnings averaged $14.29. If they had worked 365 days their years’ earnings would have averaged $5,216.. If they had laid off an average of only one day a week their earnings would have averaged $4,473, or SB3O more than thev did. “Why do these unions thus restrict the working time and the earnings of their members. First to prevent the railway managements from being able, in reply to demand's for advance in wages, to show that the rates of pay are so high as to make possible such earnings. Secondly, to keep more men on the payroll and thereby have more men available to pay dues to the labor unions. “Indirectly, thj# like many others in effect, operates to inflate railway expenses, and thereby inflate the freight and passenger rates the public must pay. The wages per day now paid by the railways are sufficient, if the employees worked full time, to annual earnings for nhany employees which would be an effective answer to demands for advances in wages, Becausk however, the annual earnings pf employees are

restricted, the leaders of the lab- ‘ or unions are able to use them < as an argument for higher rates ; of pay. When they are success- ! I ful in thus using them the daily < .rates of pay are increased and ; thus the railroad payroll and rail- ; I way operating expenses, and also ! !the freight and passenger rates ; I the public must pay, are in- ; I creased. . ; “Just why locomotive engin- < leersand firemen, in view of their ; [high rates of pay under private ! ownership, should be in favor of < public ownership is extremely ; difficult to understand. The la- ! bor leaders anticipate that if i public ownership should be ; adopted their influence in the : management of railways would be greatly augmented. Just why, in view of the present policies of the labor leaders regarding railway working conditions and wages, the farmers or any other people should believe that an augmentation of the influence of the labor leaders in railway affairs would tend to reduce the cost of transportation and the rates that must be paid for it, is impossible to understand.” FIRST WOMAN GOVERNOR The Democratic primary election in Texas has resulted in the nomination for Governor of the wife of James Ferguson, a former Governor, who was removed from office some years ago as the result of impeachment. One outstanding political feature of the primary is that the regular Democratic organization, backed by the Klan, was decisively defeated as the result of a ‘dry’ and ‘wet’ cross-fire. Ferguson has, always been identified with the ‘wets’ but as the legislature is fourfifths dry there is little danger qf any radical change in the law. While Mrs. Ferguson will no doubt be elected as the first woman governor, she frankly admits that her husband will be the real executive. The Republicans will make very little effort to contest the election unless they succeed in securing a strong woman candidate. Mrs. Ferguson is expected to win great prestige among the women of the country and her election is declared certain to , give impetus to women voters* Already the effort of the League . of Women Voters to “get out the , vote” is being taken up with fer- , vor. WOULD KEEP MAIDEN NAME Washington.—Married women ■ who insist on retaining their . maiden names to assert individ- . uality or for any other reason, . get no official sympathy from [ Controller-General McCarl. In a . ruling just handed to the department of the interior, the control- [ ler-general decides that a mar- . ried woman employed by ’the . government must use the suri name of her husband when she . signs the pay roll. “The law of this country' that ■ a wife take the surname of the husband,” he says, “is as well settled as that the domicile of the wife merges in the domicile of ; the husband. A wife might rej side apart from her husband, but so long as she remains his lawful i wife, she has only one legal dom- , icile. and that is the domicile of . the husband. So it is with the name. She may have an assum- ; ad name, but she has only one ; legal name.” , ' o LAYS DOUBLE-VOLK EGGS Princeton, Minn. —An occasional double-yolk egg means nothing to A. N. Davis, a local resident. He has been shewing his friends a box of prize eggs. The average length is a little more than three inches and the circumference six and one-half inches, and each egg contains a double yolk. Mr. Davis has one hen in his flock that regularly, every day lays a dou-ble-yolk egg. CATCHES FREAK FISH Paris, Ill.—Mrs. Shepperd, a Paris fisherwoman, while fishing at Reservoir Park, hooked a monster which has caused much interest. The head was that of a large cat fish. The body, about 3 feet in length, resembled an eel. It had a flat tail, used as a rudder, and three well defined fins on the back. The creature died after being pulled from the water. No one has been able to name it ■ ' — 0* T ’ Many Women Use Glycerine Mixture Women appreciate the quick action of simple glycerine, buckthorn bark, etc., as mixed in Adlerika.

MAKES THREE TRIPS HOME IN 35 YEARS Danville, Ill.—Forty-two years ago, M. C. Miller, former local man, earned his first dollar here. He marked his initials on the coin, which was issued in 1882, the year of his birth. Later he parted with the silver piece while at a circus in Bristol, Va. In the 35 intervening years the coin came back to Miller’s hands three times, according to statements made in a letter to Miller’s friends here. Thirteen years after the first parting, the coin was given to him in Danville in payment of car fare on the city car of which he was a conductor. A short time later he lost the dollar. Some time ago a tourist buying gasoline in Indian River City, Fla., where Miller is now located, presented him the dollar for the third time. The coin evidently has had an easy experience, for it is well preserved and nearly as bright as it was at the time of its birth, in 1882. THE VISIT OF MARS The recent visit of Mars to the Earth failed to disclose or establish any definite fact regarding that terrestrial body. Notwithstanding revelations of powerful telescopes the visible evidences of a supposed artificial canal are vague and without satisfying foundation, and all conclusions as to inhabitants are conjectural. The fbet remains that beyond Mars there are suns and worlds millions of times larger than the earth, in spaces that human thought cannot grasp. If inhabited it is also probable that, like earth people, thqy are unable to solve the simplest'problems that their to face. We do know, however, that everything in this uncharted universe moves on a definite system, no accident, no chance, created by some invisible intelligence beyond the power of man to understand —sometimes called God. It may be that ere Mars makes another visit, 100 years hence, this invisible creative intelligence will disclose some simple means of communication, but it will not be until the race is fitted for it, mentally and spiritually. PHONOGRAPHS ON WATCH A man of St. Louis has a watch on which the numerals of the face have been replaced with tiny photographs of the members of his family. He himself is one o’clock, his wife is 2 o’clock, his oldest child is 3 o’clock, and the other figures are covered by the pictures of the remainder of his ten children, 12 o’clock being the baby of the family. o- _ . In the early election betting in Wall Street, President Coolidge is quoted as a 3 to 1 favorite. Some of the betting commissioners are of the opinion that from $10,000,000 to $15,000,000 will be wagered this year. It is a curious fact that betting on horse racing is prohibited but pools on baseball or elections, or on hogs and produce, are matters of common publicity for which the mails are freely used. t oThe Canadian government-own-ed railways are expected to pay a .profit, above all expenses, <rf about $30,000,000 this year.

JEFFECY OF HAIR BOBBING Washington. — American women have almost ruined the export trade of Cheefoo, China, by having their hair bobbed. Figures from Consul John R. Puman, received by the department of commerce disclose that shipments of human hair from ’ Chefoo during the first half of the year dwindled to $19,881 as compared with $461,399 in the corresponding period of 1923. Exporting of human hair is the chief item of Chefoo’s foreign trade. . __________ —■■■— II I ■■!■■■■> » We are in a position • to give all Print in cl, ■ Prompt and Careful Attention Individuality in your letterheads and other pnnted matter is helpful to your business..
