farmers in Sioux county. About 81
per cent of the farmers in the vi

that the good farmers from the

me first athletic meet OF the Lake
County grammar schools proved to be
g. far greater success than was even
hoped for. The event was tried as an
experiment and with the success and
interest taken II was decided to hold
the met as an annual event. The
mayor OF Crown Point took an interest
in the boys of that city. and invited
the boys TO hold the next year meet at
the county seat. AS this place was con-
sidered thi syear. no doubt the meet
will go to Crown Point next. The

FIRE BUREAU HEAD

duced by the papers on which he
worked.
The appointment came as a surprise
today as it was believed that the state
fire marshal had not intended increas-
ing his force. Mr.. Longley said he had
searched the state for crime investi-
gator before he decided that White
was the man he wanted. There are
three departments in the state fire
marshaPs office One handles the
physical condition of property and has
power TO condemn property that pre-
sents too great fire hazard. Another
is the statistical department, under
Ralph Richman of Upton, and the
third is the legal department, in which
the new appointee will work.
The tracking down of arson fiends is
practically a new business In Indiana
and until the passage of the new fire
marshal law there was no recognized
agency for handling arson situations.
Whites duties will take him into the
highways and byways of the state in
search of clews that will lead to the
uncovering of arson plots.

democrats in the legislature are
blocking needed legislation to the
detriment of the state. We
would like to know where they
got the idea, when the democrats
are the only ones that have re-
NAMED at their post of duty, and
are there now ready to transact
any business that should be at
tended to, while aooper's follow
ers are scattered over the state
saying they are not going back
to Nashville to do business. If
they want the states business at.
tended to they should come on
back home and they will find the
democrats ready to welcome the
prodigals on their return, but
they do not promise to kill the
fatted calf, to weep on their
necks, nor to put a ring on their
hands.
