Morgan & Co., Senator King, Utah, in a statement expressed the opinion that “The Attorney General of the United States should take prompt action to enforce the Federal antitrust law.” “It is certain that if the present economic and the industrial movements, now controlling the economic an’d indeed the political life of the country, are not checked, within a few years the very form of our government will be changed and our economic and the most radical changes,” Senator King said. His statement follows: The evils resulting from the monopolies hnd from combinations and trusts in restraint of trade have been recognized wherever they existed. Congress passed the Sherman Anti-trust md Clayton Acts to meet the ?vils of ; monopoly. Most, if not dl of the states, enacted measures to prevent the intro-state rusts and organizations from restricting competition and increasing prices. Unfortunately, neither Federal laws nor state 'aws have been enforced, and the result has been the progressive >rowth of monopolies and trusts ind combinations in restraint of trade.

Secretary Os Indiana State Fair Says Prospects Look Brighter Than Ever 31 '■ E. J. Barker, Secretary-Treasurel of the Indiana Board of Agriculture, is very optimistic regarding the 1929 State Fair, which will be held from August 31 to September 7. He saysi “Prospects are very encouraging for the 1929 Indiana State Fair, More exhibit space has been assignee in the mechanical department anc in the manufacturers building than in previous years, more concession space has been sold than ever before “The interest in the live stock and poultry departments far exceeds other years. “Cattle are coming from New York and Massachusetts, on the east, to California on the west and from North Dakota to Texas from north to south. “The National swine show is being held in connection with the state fair, which has never been done before. This will bring together the greatest swine show ever held in all history, barring possibly the St. Louia World’s Fair in 1904. “Our race program is the best offered kt any state fair and as good as is offered at any Grand Circuit meeting anywhere. Practically all the good Grand Circuit horses are entered here. “Our night entertainment in front of the grandstand is the Gus Hornbrook rodeo, which is one of the best to be found anywhere. In connection with this entertainment, there will be Roman standing races and steeple chases. “The Indiana University band will furnish music throughout the week. “In the manufacturers building will be seen the greatest auto and radio shows ever seen at any fair or exposition. “The Indiana State Fair of 1929 is offering a total of $171,745.00 in premiums and purses which is more than $20,000.00 in excess of any other fair.” President Os The Indiana State Fair Says That 1929 Fair Will Be Greatest Ever Held fir - » WMI E. D. Logsdon, of Indianapolis, President of the Indiana Board of Agriculture, Which manages the Indiana State Fair, advises that he believes, with the National Swine Show here this year, this will be the largest fair that has ever been held. Mr. Logsdon says: “Having been interested in the Indiana State Fair for the past several years, I know that we have had some very successful fairs, but this year there will be held in connection with tfee fair the National Swine Show which should draw g large crowd, especially since the state of Indiana is putting up $24,000 in prizes for this show. This should bring large entries in cattle, horses, poultry and sheep, also, as most of those interested in hogs are also interested in some other kind of livestock. “I believe that the people of Indiana realize that the Indiana State Fajr is the largest event of the year and it is only a short drive on these good roads from every corner of the state. A few days spent with SIQ,000,000.00 worth of livestock, where probably twenty or twenty-five states are represented, will be a long, pleasant remembrance as both an educational feature and a recreation. “There will be plenty of amusement, Grand Circuit Racing, Horse Breaking demonstration, Horse Pulling Contest, the night Horse Show in the Coliseum, the rodeo in front of the grandstand each night, and many other features that should be interesting to any person. It will pay all of you people Indiana to take the time to come to the Indiana State Fairgrounds Idg a few days from August 31 w'WSptuiuber 7, inclusive.” ~~ o Uncle Adam’s Cogitation Fee-made nature — whether white or black—am about alike.

LARGE NUMBER OF f ’ A’iSM REMOVER Approxibately 6,500 gar anJ dog-nsh have been removed front several northern Indiana lakes tms spring and summer by the state conservation game w.udend and before work is concluded! for this year, this number will ue increased several thousand it is believed, state conservation department officials said. | George N. Mannfeld, superinl tendent of the fish and game! division, directing the removal of these predatory fish from the! state’s public waters, says the! average gar taken weighs four pounds, and dog fish, six pounds. However, a week’s work often results in removing gar weighing 12 to 16 pounds, and one! was caught last summer in Lake! Maxinkuckee that weighed 30l pounds. the largest dogfish! caught this season weighed 161 pounds. An idea of the weight! of these destructive fish which constantly menace the game fish I so dear to the followers of Walton, is illustrated in one day’s catch in Lake James, Steuben county, which netted 29 gar weighing 117 pounds, and dogush whose combined weight was 46 pounds. The average dogfish of six pounds will consume at least a pound of fish each day, while the average gar of four pounds will eat at least a half a pound of fish daily, officials say. Early in the season gar are firm and'some folks around the lakes eat them. The flesh softens at water temperatures ri«e and they become unedible. Predatory fish now being removedare given to farmers for chicken] and hog feed and for fertilizer around young trees. When there is no demand for these fish, they! are buried, Mannfeld gays, The conservation department! each year keeps four warden! crews at this work, and in sever-l al years has removed many thouJ sands of predatory fish damagJ ing to lake fishing. As ? result! of these efforts, together with’ protective laws, natural propogation and stocking public wafer from five state hatcheries, where millions of young fish are artificially propogated, Indiana is nationally known for the splendid fishing it provides.

PURDUE EXPERT EXPLAINS LAW ON CANADA THISTLE j Essential features of the new Ind., State lawr egarding the eradicating of Canada thistle, gennerally considered by farmers in thn orthern half of the State as j the worst of all weeds on account I of its creeping-rooted habit of the ease with which it is scatter- < ed by wind carried seeds, have been summarized by Albert A.) Hanson, of th Purdue University j department of agricultural extension in weed leaflet No. 6, now being distributed over the state, According to Hanson, a knowledge of the new law, which was passed on March 12, 192?), by the General Assembly, should be possessed by township trustees, county agents, railroad and interurban officials, road superintendents and farmers generally. The new statute applies to owners occupants pr leasees of land (including vacant city lots), road superintendents or anyone having road sides under their charge, section boss, roadmaster, or any other officer of railroad or interurban companies in charge of right-of-way or any other land owned or leased by such companies. In many places, Canada thistle has beepnie such a problem that entire fields have been abandoned to the plant, and its presence has a marked tendency to decrease land values. The outstanding points of the new law, as by Hansen follow: 1. AH Canada thistles must be cut or killed with chemicals either before or in the bud stage or within five days of the time when the first bloom appears. The old law required cutting before the plants were six inches high. 2. Either the owner or the occupant of the infested land (including vacant city lots) is held responsible for cutting or chemical treatment. This includes railroad companies and road officials, 3. Any landowner may complain to the township trustee regarding the presence of Canada thistles that have reached the bud or early bloom stage. It is then the duty of the trustee to immedately notify the oyvner or occupant of the land by registered mail to cut or chemically treat the thistles within three days of the time the notice is received. The trustee has no choice in the matter —if he fails in his duty he is subject to a fine not exceeding $25.00. 4. On failure to comply with the trustee’s notice, the trustee is required to hire some one to cut or chemically tr sat the this-
