IL is on this condition in the coal

problems. il Is passing certain that a
movement will be started 20 have the
body enact a referendum law on the

law, providing the people ratify the
proposal at a special election. would
result in the only legal procedure for

Indiana to Lead
In Live Stock as
Well as in Corn
News-T,ir. 3 speclal service:


INDIANAPOLIS. Ind. Aug. A.
Indiana, one Of the great corn states
OF the union. will be nearer the top
in live stock production before the
winter is reached.
DR.. L. z. Northrup, state veterin-
arian. who won his position by the
energy he displayed in starting the
live stock campaign in the state
while a deputy. is authority for the
statement. Northrup's great plea TO
farmers has been for them 10 buy
light hogs and feed them. or 10 keep
their hogs on the farm until they
have been fed for the proper size.
The farmers are responding with
a vim TO this idea said Northrup
today. It's going 20 put Indiana
right up near the top, too" Here
are some examples:
one feeder near Cambridge City
has $50 light hogs which he will
feed for 80 days. These hogs will
gain approximately laps pounds a
day. They average 100 pounds when
bought. When they are sold they
will bring nearly three times as
much money as when he began TO
feed them, and incidentally. the live
stock supply Of the state will be in
creased.
Another farmer has 400 acres of
land. He is not going TO sell one bit
Of corn this year. he will feed il to
hogs and cattle, and If necessary, he
will 60 TO stock yards and buy light
hogs TO use up his corn.
Northrup's office is now costing
the taxpayers nothing. All the ex-
penses are met by fees from inspec-
ton of meat packing plants.

LANSING. Mich, Aug. 4.-The
complete returns for the year 1915
as compiled by the state vital sta
tistician, William F. Petrie, show
that during the year there were ST.
059 births in the state and 45,lO6
deaths The deaths of infants un-
der one year totaled Sill. Accord
ing to the figures the infantile NOR
tally for the state for the year was
about 90 per 1000 living births. The
rate of infantile mortality is re
garded as a most reliable test of the

ing to the fact that migration does
not greatly affect the result OF this

INDIANAPOLIS. Ind. Aug A.
In all probability Indiana will go
through the war crisis without the
furore OF the birth OF a new cOnsti-
tuition.
This fact became known late this
week. when Gov. Goodrich appeared
before a gathering OF new constitu-
ton forums at the state house and
t0ld them that ne could not give
them an answer TO a resolution, ask
ing him 20 call a special session Of
the legislature for the purpose Of
passing a law 20 give the people OF
the state a referendum on the call
ing of a constitutional convention
The invalidatlng Of the law OF the
1917 assembly, which provided for
the convening OF a constitutional
convention. by the recent decision
OF the supreme court, has left the
new constitution advocates without
footing OF any sort. and naturally
they are turning 10 every vagrant
straw for assistance as they float
down stream i'm the war crisis

ally has turned against the proposal
OF holding a constitutional conven-
non during the war crisis. ma

That's the attitude OF the cover
nor. 70 is known. although there ex-
lists one raw OF hope for those who
desire a new constitution immedt-
ately. That ray Of hope is the coal
situation. In case the congress does
not act quickly 20 empower Pres't
Wilson TO regulate coal price and
traffic Interstate. the governor will
call "a special session Of the legisla-,
ure 20 fix prices on coal That time

There is much discussion by the
public and the press of the govern
ment's price of $2.2O a bushel to the
producer for wheat. The farmers
complain that it is too low 1t does
not appear that the wheat grower Is
compelled to sell at that price-not
yet He is at liberty to get as big a
price as he can. Uncle Sam merely
guarantees him s2.20 a bushel. If
other persons refuse to pay that
amount the government will take the
crop off the producers hands. APP
parently the farmer has all the best
of it. He has a sure thing besides an
opportunity to profit by any advance
in the market beyond $2.2O a bushel.
In order TO hold wheat prices to that
figure it probably will be found nee
essary to do some regulating among
the miIlers and the bakers. Also, it
may be necessary to regulate the price
of farm labor.
