ROAD INSPECTORS
NOT TO Be PAID BY
CONTRACTORS, RULE:

INDIANAPOLIS. Ind, July "a
Jesse Eschbach, state examiner OF the
board Of accounts, in letters addressed
to county officials yesterday, called a
halt on the practice Of highway In
spectors employed by the county re-
ceiving additional compensation from
road material firms or associations.
This is a fragrant violation OF the
statutes of Indiana, criminal in It's ma
ture," the letter declared.
In the second letter sent by the
board to county and township officials,
attention Is called to the discovery
that in some counties contractors are
allowed payment for more than 80
percent of the work done.
Contractors Overpald.
Mr.. Eschbach said that several in
stances had been called to his atten-
ton by field examiners where coun-
ties had paid contractors for material
on hand and that later the contractor
failed to complete the road, being let
out OF the contract by the 1919 con-
tractors relief law. The counties that
violated the law in making the pay
ments now have this material on their
hands and much of 1t is in a depreciat-
ed condition, Mr.. Eschbach said.
"Our field examiners report" the
letter referring to the employment Of
road inspectors reads. that inspectors
on improved highways throughout In.
diana, appointed and paid by the sew,
eral jurisdictions constructing such
highways, are being paid an additional
remuneration by certain persons
firms and corporations interested in
said improvement.
This is a fragrant violation Of the
statutes Of Indiana, criminal in its ma
ture.

any legal or moral right to pay any
inspector from public funds if such
inspector is being paid by any other
person, firm or corporation for sale

Many people have become despond-

lieve that their case was hopeless and
that there was no remedy for their
case.
Go to your druggist and get an or

discovery OF a clever Ohio chemist, that
taken internally, passes unchanged
through the stomach and intestincs,
and thus reaches the source of the
trouble where. by its soothing. healing
antiseptic action. it first allays and
then bv direct contact with the ulcers
and piles causes them to heal and dis
appear forever.
It's positively marvellous how speed
lily it acts. Blessed relief often comes
in two or three days. even in cases
that have resisted all previously known
treatments really wonderful results
have been accomplished 1t is one Of
the wonderful discoveries of recent
years and anyone who is disappointed
with its use can have their money re-
funded.
All pharmacists dispense Miro or
can get it for you on short notice. Sure

 Passing through dense banks of cloud with the sun and sea visible only at rare intervals, the R-34 was forced to cruise 3,650 miles to reach Trinity Bay, N F., from East For tune, Scotland, and 1,944 miles from there to Mineola.

SAYS MEAT PRICES
 SHOULD BE LOWER
DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE SAYS PRODUCERS GET LESS
 AND MEAT REMAINS HIGH.

Washington. = Federal supervision of the packing, sale and distribution of meat products was declared by the Department of Agriculture to be the only solution for the present situa- tion, in which meat prices to the con. sumer are so high that he is denying himself and in which prices for live stock, especially beef and lambs are so low that the producer is losing money.
 The department emphasized that save food" signs should now be dis regarded as to meat, especially beef, and wheat products. Faced by the largest wheat crop on record and vita many cattle raised in response to the demand for meat production for the army now maturing, the department says that the American people must realize that no necessity Tor conser- vation of such foods any longer 'ex- ists.
 A survey or the meat price situa- ton, the department said, reveals that the present excessive retail prices are not justified by wholesale quotations. Prices to the producers have declined since the war, it was said, but prices paid by the consum- CT have not materially 1essened The only solution, the department be- Iieves, is more strict federal supervi- sion.
 The entire meat situation, based on conferences with senators and repre- sentatives from livestock producing regions was summarized by the de- Dartment as follows:
 Europe needs our surplus porK, but is filling it's beef requirements by importations from South America and Australia. Prices of beef cattle nave fallen sharply since March 1, on ac- count of the stoppage of exports Tor army use and slack demand Tor beef at home Beef producers and lamb producers who sell their prod- ucts at this time arc confronted with the danger of heavy financial losses which would tend to restrict produc- Iion and cause a serious shortage Tn the future

PLAN HANDLING

ASSOCIATION ASKS STATES. COUNTIES AND PARISHES TO
 ORGANIZE FOR. BENEFIT.

New York. = A campaign in the cotton belt to organize states, couH- ties and parishes for handling the annual crop, was decided on at a ses- sion of the directors of the Ameri- can Cotton Association.
 Resolutions were adopted request ing commissioners of agriculture and president of farmers unions in all cotton producing states to issue calls for county and parish organization meetings. Telegrams also were sent to governors and presidents of organ izations interested asking that state meetings be called in July.
 Governor Pleasant of Louisiana, chairman of the Executive Committee of the proposed $100000,000 Cotton Export Financing Corporation, tele- graphed his approval of the plans adopted by the association directors for organization of a $400, ,001,00O do- nestle marketing, financing. and stor- age corporation. This capitalization would be necessary, according to J. s. Wannamaker of Columbia, s. C., president of the association, to enable the proposed corporation to handle a fourth of the annual crop.
 w. B. Thompson of New Orleans, a member of the Executive Committee of the export corporation. explained the plans for organizing the $10OO00,- 900 project
 Mir. Wannamaker, taking excep- tion to the acreage reduction figures of the Department of Agriculture in it's report issued, announced that a Bureau of Statistics of the association is being organized.

"They were aiming at giving harsh but deserved lesson to profiteers. It was right that the, people should punish those who mace millions through the suffering Of the entire population, which for over four years strained every nerve in the face of the greatest struggle of its. history With pitiless energy how ever, as pitiless as it's leniency hcre- tofore, the government now intends to repress any attempt to transform a just protest into something more. serious"
 Florence has been occupied by mil itary forces and the machine guns of the troops, it has been shown the mobs and robbers, were not taken there merely for show. The same, thing has happened at other most re- bellious ccnters, especially at Ancona and Brecia, where many persons were wounded.
 In Genoa. where the uprising against the cost of living took a most orderly form, the people imposed q. reduction in all prices, watched the carrying out of this order and pre- vented any violence against shop keepers. They intevened wheneysp' attempts were made to ransack shG1s, putting down the disorderly ei[nerts with much greater energy Ban the police ever used.

 "The poorest June prospect In years, if not in the history of the crop" is the concensus of opinions ex- pressed by Arkansas planters, ac- cording to the report of Charles $. Bouton, U. s. field agent, and Jim G.. Ferguson, State Commissioner os Az riculture.
 The report further shows the acre. age in cultivation in Arkansas on June 25 was in round numbers eleven per cent less than on the correspond ing date a year ago The acreage picked in the state last year amount ed to 3,035,000, while the acreage being worked this year is 2,702,000, with prospects of some further aban- donment.
 Commenting further on the report MT. Bouton points out that weather conditions which prevented planting or cultivation after planting, nad been the chief cause of the reduction. Tn the counties bordering the Missis- sippi River, voluntary reduction was in evidence, and pledges made 10 that end were fairly well carried out In all other sections of the state, had weather permitted, the acreage could practically have equalled, and Tn some counties exceeded that of last year.

Women have been receiy- ing from S2 to $3 per day, and men S2.50 to $400 per day for chopplns and hong, but complaint is general that the quality of labor is inferior to that of former years.
 There is also some complaint that tenants are abandoning crops, where the labor and cost of cleaning cotton bids fair to be great. and are seek ing employment elsewhere.
