One man becoming disgusted asked the protesting debtor why. the account six months over due was not settled before the banks went on restrictions The debtor'replied? “that is my iness.” J In fact some people are using /the present bank situation as another excuse to get out of paying. If everyone who says that they have money in the banks really had money in the banks the paralysis of banking transactions need never had occurred. Senator Borah’s amendment to the economy bill reducing Congressional mileage from 15 cents a mile to 5 cents a mile did .not meet with Senatorial favor. The'rider lost 42 to 35. By defeating the amendment the senators showed that they believed in economy for the veterans but not for themselves, which after all is a very human chaaracterislic. Any way, by passing the economy bill, they votedfor a possible reduction in their own salaries of 11,500 if President Roosevelt chooses to exercise the authority which they gave to himA great deal of unpleasant criti cism, most of it unfounded, will be laid low, as soon as the bank here is able to resume transactions on an unrestricted basis Until that time, remember, the state banking commission and not the bank officials here »put the bank on a restricted basis. Os course the banking officials ought to Fean over backwards to see that no injustice is done anyone, and that the regulations under which the bank la doing business are complied with even if some particular transaction is not to the bank’s benefit. But looking at the situation from a banker’s viewpoint, they take the position, that any bank transaction, at the present time, which will weak eh the bank’s cash reserve if execut- " ed, should not be executed, for such an execution will; put off the da) when the bank will resume business unrestricted. Is not that a logical attitude? On Monday, the first day of spring, with snow falling and blowing, many retired to coal bins to contemplate fast disappearing coal piles. Practically no news this past week. Cyclone in part of Kosciusko county, Indiana, and in Tennessee; earthquake in California; flood along the Ohio river and its tributaries with water still rising. —„ o . WE GOT A DOG! Earl Menzenberger presented the editor with a bird dog, aged six weeks. He’s mostly white with a brown head, a'nd four silver dollar sixed spots on his back near his tail, so.has been named Four Bucks. The only livestock its been possible to keep around this shop is rats. They decreased in number after Mrs. Holloway gave the Journal “ staff those two black cats, Amos ’en Andy. But Amos ate a rat which was poisoned and died, and Andy was stolen by some of the people who were always petting the twp cats on band concert nights. So the rats returned to the Journal office. Then last fall before he went south, Mr. Boggs, the chef at The Tavern last summer, presented the editor with Aspirin, a big black Mid white Tom cat. He ate rats in the Journal office for about one week, and developed the habit of crying loudly every night to be put outdoors. The first night ont and Aspirin never came back. « Four Bucks doesn’t last any longer than four bucks do around the Journal office, he’s due to disappear before this week’s paper to published. Rom Osborn saw the excitement in the Journal office Tuesday afternoon caused by so many people in town trying to pat one dog, and he came rushing across the street with a card full of collars, “what the well dressed dog should wear. " So Four Bucks now owns a new spring outfit. LET LOOSE THE WHOLE SWARM Commodore Party has gotten much credit in history for taking the closed door of Japan off its hinges. Possibly he didn’t realise that people could come out as well as go in through an open door.—Loe Angeles

POOR RELIEF NOW f IS MORE DIFFICULT . jl r On Tuesday Dan Klink received • the notice sent to all township trus- 1 tees by the secretary of the Board of. I State Charities, which stated: [1 “Chapter 141 of the Acts of 1933 J approved and in force March 8, pro-;’ vides that the overseer of the poorp shall not extend aid to persons or;' families unless an affidavit setting | 1 forth the personal condition of the family has been filed with such overseer of the poor. The inclosed form < for this purpose has been prepared and can be had from printing firms' l supplying other blanks used by township trustees. ” Blanks to be filled in by everyone who asks for aid from the township from now on ask the following information: Township? County? Applicant’s full name? Address? Age? Sex? Col-, or? Place of birth? Occupation? j Present employer? Last employer?' Wages? Married or Single? Divorced or Separated? Widow (er)? Household consists of the following persons.---? Following this question blanks to be filled in have spaces in which are to be written name of each in the household, age, sex, how related, if employed now, if able to' work, if any income, wages, pen-j sion, compensation, annuities or re-| lief from any source. Then questions ask length of resi- < dence in township? From which; township parties came? Name and, address of near relatives? Value of; real estate owned by applicant or by t members of his household? Where 10-1 cated? Amount owed or unpaid on; this property? Owed to whom? Auto-' mobiles or trucks owned? Cash or securities on hand or in bank? Other" assets of applicant or other members of household? | The application blank then reads: 1 swear that all the information recorded above is true and correct and that I and the members of my household have no other means of support. ■ There follows the line for the ap-; plicant’s signature and notice this information was sworn to before the township trustee on such-and-such a date. According to the trustee of this township, between 20 and 27 persons receive groceries from the township poor fund each week. This does not count the number who receive flour furnished By the Red Cross, and coal furnished by the township. 0 LETTERS SENT (Continued from Page. One) where wte -lrved. vop pretty hard hit. i Believe me these quakes are sure powerful. Brick buildings received! the worst from the shake and there are many of ruins. It will take a number of years to recover from it. I have heard from several that it is as bad as the Frisco quake ' but the fire conditions were not so; Ibad. There were a number of fires, 1 two schools and several oil wells, but none completely got out of control. ' Friday, night we spent out here, as the house down town was not safe. We spent the night in the car. The fog was like pea soup, so it was very pleasant outside but everyone felt safer as the shocks continued with less severity all night. Just had another quake 7:25 p. m.) and did she shake. It picked the house up like a dog does an old shoe and shook it back/ and forth but there isn’t much use running outside. We are sitting all right now. We seem to have a lot of night activity, assorted sizes and shapes. The city is well protected with American Legion, Marines and Sailors. (There is another quake) . If this keeps up, I’ll be the only one left in the house. Well, I may go out myself if this keeps up, who can tell? I’m not so brave. The Red Cross is very active. There are relief stations for those hurt, hospitals and morgues, all established in quick order. The destitute are being clothed and fed. There are hundreds out of their abode. Most-all of those killed in Long Beach were killed by falling walls. Long Beach has an ordinance that forces builders to put up what to knowyi as fire-walls. As many of our Long Beach buildings have an open front with a steel girder over the entrance way and on top of that a six-foot brick wall, you can easily see what effect a real shake would have on these fire-walls. Panic to a peculiar thing, and fear is something else. When the first shake hit, the natural impulse was to hit for open air, many thus had their lives squeezed or beat out by the falling brick. A person only has to hear of such things and they have an inborn fear of another shake hitting. The rumor of a tidal wave caused | a great deal of fear. However, that fear has subsided with the statements of certain noted geologists that California quakes are vertical slips and not horizontal. The latter, cause the tidal waves. Another state-, ment that to interesting to that this land slip originated probably ten or twenty miles below the earth surface.. The geologists claim we need have no fear of another for many years. • There will likely be quakes here for* sometime now. In Frisco, they persisted fbr over a year, in Santa Bar-

bars over a month, in Long Beach, ? This quake Was listed as a minor quake, as was the one at Santa Barbara in 1925. The Frisco quake was a major quake lasting 42 seconds, our first one lasted 15 seconds. The one at Santa Barbara Was 18 seconds. I was called into the store this afternoon for work and am supposed tq go into work again tomorrow, that is if I can get into Long Beach proper. Well guess I’ve, about had my say for this time. While I’ve been writing this there has been quite a number of small shakes besides the big ones mentioned. Mother seems to be standing the stress and strain fairly well. (There’s another shake 7:25 a. m.) They had started to clean up the wreck and believe me it will be some job. The gas is still off this a. in- and from reports will be for sixty days. We are okay—best wishes. A. R. A. Letter to Mrs. Tucker. Portions of the letter which Mrs. : Rose Tucker received last Thursday ifrom her sister, Mrs. James Alleger, ‘in Los Angeles, describes her experiences in the recent earthquake. Mrs. Alleger wrote: “We have experienced a most terrible earthquake, but are so thankful that we escaped so well. Last evening about 5:30 o’clock we had just finished an unusually early din- ■ ner and gotten up from the table ' when it all started with sort of an ! upheaval, then a sway and a jerk I which threw Margie across the room into a big overstuffed chair and out 'again. ! I grabbed her by the arm and start‘ed for the first door, only to find is 'sprung, but I kicked and pulled till got it with her screaming, 'dishes raining out of the cupboard, pictures falling, vases, clocks, in .fact just everything around us falling. I It was terrible, rugs rolling and folding up, and when I got the door open, we both rolled out and off the steps into the yard, expecting the house to come down on us before we could get out of the way. • Our neighbors g6t~ out of their houses and we all held on to one another, not knowing what minute the earth might open up and swallow us i alive; or when we would be hit with some flying debris, or a live wire might wrap around us. So we suffered in terror and tremors came at intervals, in fact every few minutes for several hours. Fire sirens, ambulances were heard in every direction. Finally I told Guss to get our car out of the garage and everyone did this and spent the night in their cars. We will continue here today until the tremors stop as : the warnings are sent out to remain away from buildings. ! Just now one of our neighbors, who left on Friday for a trip! to the Valley of the Flowers, returned home to find their house almost flat, and deserted. They were told her sis- , ter was killed. They are simply hysterical. The girl worked in the laun- ‘ dry office and was caught when it collapsed. Rose, the whole town is in ruin. It’s simply terrible. Everyone is helping everyone else; babies are crying; children know something terrible happened and is happening. While our buildings stood through the ordeal so far we can’t stay in them. Gas is shut off all over town until Monday and maybe longer; lights are off also. We do have water but have to'boil it 20 minutes. Guss has a gasoline pressure camp stove r so we are using that and eating what we can cook conveniently. We are glad for hot coffee; have plenty stocked up, but bread we have to buy and pay the price if it should advance. But we are all well and tha*t is the main thing now. Will write you again tomorrow—" Word has been received by Mrs. W. E. Druckamiller that her daughter, who lives in Los Angeles, and husband are safe but are afraid to enter their home. Th® letter said shocks were continuing and had been felt for several days. -Ja® . ——-— . BRIDGE PARTIES A bridge party at his home, Friday evening celebrated Charles Kroh's birthday.

* COD LIVER OIL IN i RATION FOR CHICKS 11 e. : : • I There is no one best ration for ! starting chicks, but a ration which 1 has actually been fed to chicks and ' which has proved satisfactory should be used. In some cases rations which should theoretically give good results have not been satisfactory in actual practice. Changes Or substitutions should not be made in a ration unless such changes have been shown to give satisfactory results. Proteins, carbohydrates, minerals, water and certain vitamins are all essential for the proper growth and development of chicks. The lack of only one may result in slow development and heavy mortality. However, a satisfactory ration does not necessarily need to be complicated. All of the essential nutrients and vitamins can be provided by a few common feedstuffs. The practical problem is to select those feeds which supply the essentials at the lowest cost. For starting rations, which are fed during the first 8 to 10 weeks, an allmash ration is preferable. The ration should be placed before the chicks as soon as they are placed in the brooder and kept available at all times. The following all-mash starting ration, developed by the Poultry Department of Purdue University, is now in general use in the state and has given satisfactory results: 400 pounds of ground yellow corn,. 100 ■ pounds of w'heat bran, 100 pounds of wheat middlings, 90 pounds of meat . and bone scraps containing 50 per cent protein, 30 pounds of dried skim milk or dried buttermilk, and 7 pounds of salt. The approximate percentages of the different ingredients in this ration are as follows: 55 per cent of ground yellow corn, 14 per cent each of w'heat bran and wheat middlings, 12 per cent of meat andi bone scraps, 4 per cent of dried milk, and 1 per cent of salt. If it is impossible to get the chicks outside in the direct sunshine within two or three, weeks after they are hatched, two per cent of a tested cod liver oil, cod liver oil stearin, or the equivalent of a vitamin D concentrate should be added to this ration until the chicks can have access to direct sunshine. After the chicks afe out in the sun cod? liver oil is not necessary. If desired 20 pounds, Or three per cent of alfalfa leaf meal may be added to the above rations. However, in experiments in which this ration with and without alfalfa lear meal were compared there was no difference in

the rate of growth. Rations containing 45 per cent or more of yellow corn apparently supply sufficient vit£min A without the addition of alfalfa. If white corn is used vitamin A jnust be furnished by adding alfalfa to the ration or by giving the chicks access to green feed. ’ —o TOWN BOARD HAS REGULAR MEETING At the meeting of the Town Board, Tuesday evening, it was decided before making any definite reply to the request of the B. & O. railroad company that the crossing light be done away with at the Main street crossing, the board would wait to ihear what the Northern Indiana Public Service Co., will do in the matter of reducing rates. The request of Ellwood George, that the town take some action to -prevent the dumping of rubbish on his property, the lots of the proposed city park, was heard by the board, but the members decided the town had no jurisdiction over that property.? The board decided that Mr. George could take the matter up with the state highway* department, if he cared to. Some of the Board thought dumping on the property could be prevented by declaring the place a nuisance and forbidding anyone to dump rubbish there. Others thought no action should be taken ” because that was the only spot left for “a dump.”
