I ——— A big pike will eat it* weight in about 10 days is what the experts claim. If this supposition is true the big pike caught Saturday has been devouring 7uo pounds of fish every year. The administration has not yet fully disclosed whether or not the United States.shall be trader with the rest of the world or be self con* tained within itself, its market pro* tected with a high tariff, but the fight that the administration has made to have the United States join the world court would seem to indicate the splendid isolation of the United States is to be no more. France Grissom claimed Tuesday that he has a record for this township. He said he is 69 years of age, and he cast his first vote in the second precinct, and voted there on Tuesday, and has never voted in any other precinct. He said this in* eludes the three years he was in Ohio, when he voted by ahevatee ballot sent from the second precinct here; and it includes the time when there were only two precincts instead of three in Turkey Creek township, and he voted in the second precinct then. He claims no one else can come up to that record. It was reported before the election that a cash prise of >25 had been offered to the Democratic precinct committeeman who got the largest proportion of voters of his precinct to the polk that day. Haven't heard who won the prize. ft ; REAL ESTATE TRANSFERS The Journal is furnished with the following transfers of real estate by Houton C. Fraser, abstractor. War naw, Ind. Sarah A.

CLUBS TO COOPERATE IN FISH PROPAGATION INDIANAPOLIE, Ind.—Conservation clubs interested in the operation of rearing ponds for the production of game fish to be used in stocking lakes and streams tn their vicinity, supplementing' the output Os the state hatcheries, may file their application for contracts w*ith the Department of Conservation after Feb. 1. All applications for contracts must be filed before May 1, none being accepted after that date, it was announced today by Virgil M. Simmons, Commissioner of the Department of Conservation. The 1935 contracts provide that clubs operating rearing ponds must provide their own parent fish, no fry being supplied from the state hatcheries, and must plant their fish not later than Oct. 20, 1935. A new scale of prices to be paid co-operat-ing clubs for the fish that they produce. is set out in the contract. These include payment by the' Department of $lO a thousand for bluegills and rockbass; from S4O to S6O a thousand on small mouth bass, de pending length, and from S3O to SSO a thousand for large mouth bass, depending upon length. No club will be paid over SSOO for fish. Eighty-one conservation clubs had contracts to operate rearing ponds during the past year, producing thousands of game fish which were planted in Indiana lakes and streams. Cooperation of the clubs with the Department of Conservation in the propagation of game fish, resulted in a more thorough stocking of Indiana lakes and streams last year than had been possible in the past. An even greater stocking program is planned for 1935 with the state hatchery facilities being extended and the conservation clubs again cooperating. ■ o — A gentleman just released from a Minnesota penitentiary is to jtnarry a woman who has waited 23 years for him to get out.

Meeting of the Grocery Men of Syracuse On account of the numerous insistent demands for credit, and the slow response of those to whom credit is extended, the Grocery Keepers of this town met last Thursday evening to formulate some concerted action for their protection. It was decided that grocers would not extend credit to new customers without first finding out whether credit accounts have been settled i elsewhere. \ Also that accounts be settled at the end of stated periods, otherwise credit will be discontinued. Grocers report that wholesalers are becoming severe in the enforce7 ment of their terms. :

♦•** * * * « * FARM LAND VALUES J • • IN INDIANA • Highly fluctuating prices of farm land are costly to producers as well as consumers of farm products. Both classes suffer, because highly fluctuating prices contain a large speculative element of speculation which is largely nonproductive and interferes with the most efficient production of farm products. During the year from March, 1933 to' March 1934, the average price 6f farm land in Indiana and in the United States changed its direction for the first time in 14 years and went up threse points. Compared to T 913 or pre-war as 100, the index figure for Indiana increased from 53 to 56 and the United States figure from 73 to 76. For 13 consecutive years, 1920-1933, the price of farm land had fallen from 161 of pre-war in -Indiana and 170 in the United States. The fluctuation in the average price of farm land in Indiana was more than eight points per year In each period of raising and of falling prices. Indiana did not equal the average for the United States in the rise in prices, but its much greater fall in prices than the average for the United States shows a wider range for the two periods. Ar 4 we on the eve of another rise in prices of farm land in Indiana which will be based ■ primarily on speculation, c use unstable land tenure and result in increased inefficiency in production? Or in the light of the factors which are basic to the productive value of farm land is some advance in the price of Indiana farm land justified? The history of farm land booms is that at the end of such a period the farm operator, the producer of farm products, “is caught holding the sack." The promotor of the boom, has kept himself in the clear, taken his commission and left the tiller of the soil with no higher earning power in the land, but more mortgage and interest to pay. The trouble with a lot of fellows is that the things they learn by experience are the things they ought not to know.

I HOOSIER FARM I PROSPECTS ON RISE FOR 1935. ' LAFAYETTE, Ind.-A note of cheer for the future of Indiana agriculture was sounded here by Prof. Lynn Robertson, of the Purdue farm management department, when he declared that the prospects for Indiana agriculture, considering the state as a whole, are more favorable for 1935 than they have been at the same season for several years previous. “In general,” said Prof. Roberta son, “Indiana farmers have prospects for selling a fairly large supply of products at prices which are likely to be higher compared to prices of items for w'hich farmers spenjl money than they have been in the recent past. ” Prof. Robertson pointed out that unusual relationships are likely to develop between prices of various products, between prices of different grades and classes of any one product, and between prices at different seasons of the year, and that these unusual relationships will justify farmers in paying more than usual attention to economic facts as they develop during the year. In the face of his optimism for the state as a whole, Robertson was careful to point out that in certain limited areas where abnormal weather during 1934 was particularly injurious, or on farms where heavy debts are still handicapping progress, the prospects for 1935 are not particularly favorable. He also declared that there are still enough uncertainties facing the country so that it is possible that the favorable situation indicated for the state as a whole will not materialize. y. t I I PLANS FOR WIDENING SHOULDERS ON STATE HIGHWAYS ARE RUSHED I — 1| INDIANAPOLIS. Ind.—Plans for widening the sbomners on approximately 80 miles of state highways are being rushed by the State Highway Commission as a means of providing winter work for hundreds of Hoosier residents, it has been announced by James D. Adams, Chairman of the Highway Commission. Eight shoulder widening projects, having an estimated cost of over SIOO,OOO, are included on the highway commission’s 1935 program which is now being placed under contract. Several sets of plans for widening shoulders have been submitted to federal authorities for approval and will be advertised for bids as soon as authorization for the work is received. Surveys have been completed on all widening projects and the drafting of plans is being rushed. With the exception of two projects, plans have been completed and bids can be taken on most of the widening work this month unless federal authorities delay approval. Included in the project of 1935 is Kosciusko county, 10 miles on road 30. Both federal and state funds will ( be used in financing the 1935 widening program and employment on projects financed by federal funds will, be governed by federal regulations. These regulations also apply to wage scales. Due to the limited state funds available for state highway work, it will be impossible to carry on a shoulder widening program this j year compared to that of the past year when shoulders .were widened on approximately eight hundred miles of state, highways.

A ROBUSTI WINTER DRINK I • Sound malt nourishment, nip B of hops, stirring strength—Goebel Beer Is a robust winter drink. True, when the summer sun beat down we commended Goebel as a long tall quencher. We recommend it now because, always, Goebel is good beer, first class. Cypress Casks and an old-schpol brewmaster make It so. And June or January, any way the JTaJTa wind blows, Goebel is good 1 I drinking. You try it and see!
