Turner pointed out that at 1.-The in

to make a country road of the same

time in Indiana during the next two
years Already bills have been intro
duced in the Legislature that would
increase salaries of public officials in
Indiana between s150.000 and 100000.

the part of members of the Legislature
to raid the treasures of state, counties
townships, cities and towns for the
benefit of the office holders.
If all of the salary grab measures
thus far introduced should happen to
pass they would cost the taxpayers OF
the state approximately the amount
stated above.
From the township assessors assist

do good work for two dollars a day
but believe they could do a thoroughly
satisfactory job for three dollars a day

GROCER SAYS STORY
WAS MISLEADING
Dave Lovegren Of the Lion
Store Defends Local
Dealers in Egg Quiz.

Dave Lovegren. manager of the Lion
store grocery department., today took
issue with THE TIMES anent its article
of last Wednesday in which the state
ment was made that aHmmond house,
wives were on last Wednesday paying
from to cents more for a dozen of
fresh laid eggs than the Chicago house
wife
The article is misleading" said Mr.
Lovegren, "for the reason that you
quoted Hammond retail prices in COM
parison with Chicago wholesale prices,
thereby leaving the impression that we
are taking advantage of the Hammond
patronc.
The same applies to the butter
quotations given in the same article.
AS matter of fact we are selling
than any store in Chicago, and we
have the figures to prove this. We have
built up a reputation for the Lion
store grocery department that our but
ter and eggs are just what we repre-
sent them to be. Our butter comes df-
rectly from the Cedar Valley creamery
ia Lowell and sometimes is only five
hours old when placed on our counter.
We could sell the very best of storage
eggs for fresh laid eggs, and possibly
only an expert could tell the difference
But that is not our policy, for we sell
the article without misrepresenting it,
Tomorrow. for instance, we will sell
fresh laid eggs at 25 cents and Cedar
Valley butter at % cents a pound. We
defy any one to show US better prices
for the same quality in Chicago"
