INDIANA POTATOES Years ago Indiana produced sufficient potatoes Jor her people. This satisfactory situation has gradually changed until at the present time the state consumes 10,000,000 bushels of table stock potatoes and produces only 4,500,000 bushels. The po tatoes shipped into Indiana annually would load 100 refrigerator cars of 600 bushel capacity for each one of the 92 counties. The average yield of potatoes produced in Indiana means little to the real potato grower for he does not use ordinary methods Yields of over 300 bushels per acre on large fields art* not unus ual in the late potato belt of the state. In the central section commercial growers average 200 bushels and more per acre. The record yield of the state at the present time is 509 bushels per acre. ; O IN MEMOBIAM In loving memory of Mrs Mary K. Boland of Chicago.who passed away suddenly at Lake View Hotel, Wawasee Lake, August 4, 1925. Gone but not forgotten. The Family.

G, the president reported that 530,000 were financed by loan associations during 1926. These houses provided homes fpr more than two millions of people. 'lhe League now represents over 11 millions of building and loan savers and investors and this number will be increased three fold during the next ten years. > Building and loan organizations now number 12,626, with combined assets of more than six thousand millions of dollars. Efforts are being made for the enactment by Congress of a Federal Home Loan Bank to set up a great central credit agency for the building and loan organizations. t I THE UNWANTED MAN l i The United States is rapidly building up an army of men over 45 years of age, healthy and strong, valuable citizens of good reputation, but conuemeu to idleness on account of their “advanced” years. Most largely enterprises have their yearly “reorganizations” and believe they add to their prosperity when they replace men of merit and achievement by cheaper help, girls or boys. Such procedure undermines the mutual faithfulness which must survive in business between employer and employee. The time has arrived when the middleaged men of about forty-five and their families should be better protected. < Everybody knows that men, no matter what their station in life, are most efficient and reliable after forty. The greater part of valuable inventions and achievements is credited to men well over forty. Where would America be if the fact really existed that all men decline in their ability after forty? o , A company has secured three millions of acres in the vast grazing area in northern Alberta, between Athabaska and Great Slave Lake on which reindeer will be raised for commercial purposes.
