At the present time, many farmers feel they are not receiving enough for their eggs, |i but on the other hand complaints i , are heard from consumers tjiat j, they are paying too much for j eggs. especially those which are < questionable as to quality.

The trouble arises in the fact I! that not enough eggs are handled , in this fashion. |[ The tjxjH i ienc»‘ of a Tipped j, canoe county poultry man recent-•; ly shows that the average dealer ■ will take advantage of goo 1 hand- ■ ling and pay premium prices.

The dealer paid 22 cents for the eggs, explaining at the same time that Ijad the which wen 1 No. Is. been clean and in a new case, a two cent! premium would have been paid. 1 The solution of the problem in I the farmer bringing a high quality of product to a dealer who! will pay a premium for such eggs and for the consumer to deal with a retailer who advertises high I quality eggs and backs up his ad-I vertising with a grade quality product; Only when . these practices become general will the farmer, the dealer and the consumer be satisfied and it will* pay all concerned to give snore stu .y to the problem, according to the Purdue specialist who has been studying the market problem. Ol R PUBLIC DEBT In 1919 rite public debt of the United States stood at 26 billions. With the close ot the fiscal year • June 30 it will be 18 trillions. The third Liberty Loan originally s4< / 175;(KK).OO0. maturing in 1928, has been reduced to 2 billions and will all be retired at maturity. The Second Liberty Loan of 3 billions matures in 1942. but is callable after next November. Mr. Mellon plans to take up this issue, paying per cent interest with 31 per cent treasury notes maturing in five years. Os course this plan may have to be abend on cd if we should get into a war with some other nation, or if Congress should'“go wild” on appropriations, or reduce the income from taxes. Debts, as a rule, are the last things paid, particularly in governmental affairs, its often con ndered more convenient to pax interest . ~ -oThe Department of Commerce sta’es that the upkeep of health and charitable institutions in 1925 in the 247 cities of the United States having over 30,000 population ; cost $5.56 per capita as against $2.90 in 1915.

Just plain crooked schemes to Lyp the motorists and frequently some misguided group of good Citizens areoled into promoting jone of these “tourist associate games. Such is the fraudulent seed sown each year and a crop of new money is gatheied from the gullible auto owner, after which the Ssguided or else plain lying, slickgu d salesmen move on to new p;istures. These were the statements Os the Hoosier State Automobile Association in a ’warning issued broadcast for the piotection of (he motoring public issued on account of news that has been received of new' activities in Indiana of this nature.

Further explanation xvas made Ito the effect that the National 'Vigilance Committee, Automobile the American Automobile

Recent tests have shown that to start a train of fifteen all-steel cars with regulati n bearings required an effort of 'more than 67.000 pounds. The train running on roller bearings required about 9.000 i pounds. The reduction* of power (expended was at the ratio of 7 To 1. Whether hall bearings applied to railroad rolling stock will have the revolutionary effect expected bv it- advocates is a question for the future to decide. If it proves the success anticipated it is reasonable to predict that autonob lies will soon be similary equipped. ■ . ■ Mr. Krsmmel. the piano tuner of Ft. Wayne, is here for a few; days.

ISSUES WARNING Hoosier State Auto Assn, issues warning: “Beware of Fake, - Fly by Night Gyps" says association., Just now. more than in previous years, information is 2 cuning to the Hoqsier State Automobile association of how slick p salesmen are preying upon the, motoring public and selling iner- j chandise or contracts of one sort. or another through misrepresent tat ion or just f plain “bunk" jne-i thod. The latest report, according to the association, is some sort of an organization originating frotn Illinois which is representing that the Hoosier State Automobile association has sold out to them. The salesmen w’ork singly or in groups but usually j n pairs. The chief aim of this concern seems to be the sale of maps and offering supposed discounts. Either the Hoosier State Automobile associarion or the Chicago Motor club would be glad to have any information pertaining to these fraudulent misrepresentations. The American Automobile association in its recent warning and now the Hosier State Automobile association urges the motorist to follow the policy of “before you investigate.’’ The Hoosier State Automobile association points out that.just a high '-ounding nqjne and a “slick line of talk" does not a motor club nor is it assurance of an honest worthwhile attempt, and bitter experience has shown in the past and ample evidence is at hand to prove»to any one satisfactorily that each'year the motorists is literally robbed. P. T. Barnum was credited with having made the statement, and frequently quoted yet. that what the dear American people want is to be fooled, and that a “sucker is born every minute,’’ etc., but surely there will be an end same time to the automobile owner so willingly parting with his money fora 'ot of promises, by unknown parties or mushroom so-called motor organizations. The association points out further how same of these plans are operated through local peoi pie in that they get the garage J man or same local representative drawn into their scheme and they keep in the background. Just because a beautifully printed piece of paper has a seal in one corner and a ribbon in the other, by no means makes a government bond of it. nor does it m ke » certificate of membership in a uorthwh.ie organization. o r BANK STATEMENT Charter No. 30-’ i Report of the condition of State ' Bank of Syracuse at Syracuse in the State of Indiana, at the close of its business on March 23, 1927.

The Indiana share, due beginning the first of next July will be $1,926,772, according to figures announced. To this will be added an equal or larger amount of state money, or enough to pave several miles i f hard surface roads during the year.
