of the railroad rates fixed by the In
diana Public Service commission was
made today at the concluding hearing
on the carriers petition to the Inter
state Commerce commission that the
state rates be ordered raised to the 40

Beautifully Decorated Car
Carried War Mothers

One of the most beautifully decor2t-
ed cars in the Armistice day parade
Thursday was that Of Henry Gold
finger, manager of the Palais Royal
store. Covered entirely with white
chrysanthemum, with the Stars
and Stripes draped over the back, the
large automobile formed a picturesque
setting for the huge American eagle
that was mounted on the top and the
two snow-white doves-representing
the doves of peace-perched at each
corner
This car moved in the War Mothers
section and it fitted in magnificentiy
with them. Many people missed this
portion of the parade and as a result
failed to see this artistic creation.

escaped the full effect of deflation as
contrasted with cotton, sugar and
coffee. Subsequently, big new breaks
in exchange rates on Europe at

current that domestic curtailment of
credit would force much grain on the
market, notably in Kansas.
Corn and oats were swayed by the
action on wheat.
Provisions weakened in sympathy
with grain but was checked somewhat
by reports Of an eastern demand for
lard.

farmers associations have been active

apples, in most of the towns in the
Wayne radius. this fall. The apple
crop was very large this year, and
word comes from Pennsylvania, that
the cost of labor in picking and the
cost of barrels has often been more
than the apples would sell for when
hauled and shipped. One man cites a
loss Of 40 cents per barrel on three
choice varieties, after paying for a
five mile haul to the railroad. He is
storing hundreds of barrels in pits at
the farm.
Apples 81 at Newcastle.
This reminds us that a Newcastle
firm is advertising Greening apples at

Baldwins at $1.20 or at $3.50 delivered.
Car lots of apples are also coming in

the lowest prices in years. In the
larger towns in this section two or
more firms are bringing in apples in

one concern has shipped in practically
every winter-keeping apple grown in
Michigan, while others have gone to
Ohio and New York for their fruit.

few STUDENTS FROM
Dixie GO NORTH FOR
COLLEGE EDUCATION
(By Associated Press)

NEW YORK, Nov. ia study of
student migration shows that New
Jersey leads all other states in the
percentage of its college students sent
to other states to be educated. New
Hampshire leads all others in the per-
centage of students received from 9TH
ar states for education. and New York
ranks first in the total number of
undergraduates sent outside the state
for college instruction.
This information is furnished by
DR.. Robert L. Kelly, executive secre-
tary of the Council of Church Boards
of Education, who has completed a
survey for that organize ton of stu
dent movements throughout the Unit
ed States. The survey does not in
c1ude the larger state universities, but
simply the institutions ranked as &C.
credited colleges by the Association
of American Universities, the North
Central Association of Colleges and
Secondary Schools, the Association of
Colleges and Secondary Schools Of the
Southern States, and the University
of California.
Twelve Without Colleges
The survey revealed. DR.. Kelly
said. that Ohio and Pennsylvania are
in the lead with the create number
of colleges, there being II in each
state, while there are IL states which
have no accredited college. These
are Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, Della
ware, Idaho. Montana, Nevada, New
Mexico. Oklahoma. Utah, West Nir-
ginia and Wyoming. These IL fur
nish 2,246 college students to the in
situations of other states in the list
surveyed.
Conversely. it is interesting to
note" said DR.. Kelly. that California
comes the nearest of any state to TAX
ing care of her own students. Only
sc per cent of California students at
tend college outside of the state"
Among other facts revealed by the
survey are:
Ohio leads in the total number of
college students enrolled.
The District of Columbia has the
highest average enrolment per col
lege, which is 1929.
Massachusetts leads in the total
number of students drawn from out
side the state, the number being 4,165.
Ohio leads in the total number of
students in and outside the state.
There is a striking lack of migra-
ton, the survey showed, of students
of southern states to states of the
north. Outside of a limited amount
of migration from one southern state
TO another, southern student migra-
ton is almost nil.

BOY IS FREED BY
SISTERS LABORS

Bismarck, N. D., Dec. 27.-Ray
Weber, 18, will exchange the shelter
of the North Dakota state penitentiary
for that of his own kin on Christmas
day, through extension of clemency by
the state pardon board.
Young Weber was ordered released
from the penitentiary in time to reach
St. Louis on Christmas day, where a
waiting mother and sister will well
come him. He is en- route today, car
rying with him the memory Of faith
erly talk by Judge Christensen Of the
supreme court.
The young man owes his freedom, in
part, to the perseverance, of sister.
who began her efforts to gain his free
dom months ago. Weber's story is the
old one of boy thrown among bad
companions, members of the board
were convinced after the entire facts
about his past life had been brought
before them by his sister.
Unable to get along in peace in the
home of his mother and step-father,
the young man came to the North Da-
kota harvest fields. He fell in with
roaming workers, and it is believed ne
was encouraged to hold up man by
older companions. He was caught and
sentenced to the penitentiary for six
years. He has served about one and
a half of his term. His conduct was
good and he promised the board to
travel the straight road if he were per-
mitted to go free. The board agreed
and arrangements were made so that
he could get home on Christmas day.

nent by investing their money IN
state bonds which are good, no doubt.
They rant and rave in their meetings
when they are dashed up to q high
state of enthusiasm when some spell
binder gets up and in eloquent and
forceful language tells them that big
business is throttling their program
by not buying bonds. But we do not
notice any of the spell binders or any
of these very energetic organizers 6uy-
ing any of these bonds themselves
which they say are so good. Ihere
are enough Townley appointees ana
league office holders, county polltl-
cal managers and others drawing big
salaries on the strength of this new
day program, that if these would BUY
a bond or two apiece would bring. IN
enough money to keep the work gong
for some time, but these fellows are
long on talk but slow In action: Ihey
would much rather sink lot of money
in automobiles, aeroplanes, campaign
managers and political spell binders
to insure themselves a fat job. Rath-
er sink a lot of money in consumers
stores, newspapers and like institutions
that bring no dividends either for pro-
fit or for good to those who have put
their money in them, but on the con-
trary lot of trouble and grief. II
these same ardent leaguers would
take some of the faith cure that they
are blaming the other side for not
taking, subscribe for some of these
state bonds that are good and cut out
this rot about big business, the state
would be in better shape, there would
be a better feeling and less hatred and
malice afoat in the world. We now
have reached that point when the
league officials themselves have to
turn to those whom they have been
calling big business advocates to try
and get them to come to their aid to
keep the old ship of state afoat finan-
cially after they have put it on the
rocks. The bankers of the state are
now getting behind a movement to sell
state bonds to keep the industries 60
ing. Take some calomel yourselves
leaguers, and get your vision cleared
up, The independents knew what the
state was coming to long ago and
didn't need the prescription given them
a wear or two ago. Taxes are much
higher this year and will still be high
er and the state is ABOUT on the rocks.
What has the new day administration
done for the people-outside of max.
ing them pay excessive taxes ana
bringing about this present unfavor-
able situation in the state? What we
need is conservatism instead OF radl-
calism in this state.
