INSERTS HIS
ssWAR" RECORD

WAR" RECORD.
1t is noted here that while McCray
said in his sworn statement that he re-
piled to the question, How many Gov
ernment bonds did you purchase during
the war;" that the assessor in his affi-
davit said "that IN answer to the amount
of Liberty bonds said McCray owned on
March l, 1919, Mr.. McCray told affiant
that he owned Liberty bonds to the
amount OF S1S,000,"
Probably the attempt to correct Mr..
MeCray's Liberty bond record on the
eve of a political campaign would not
have caused so much comment here had
1t not been for the fact that the Dis
count and Deposit Bank OF Kentland, OF
which Mr.. McCray is president trailsd

spending to the Governments financial
appeals during the war.
Figures published by the Seventh Fed
eral Reserve Bank district show that

inaugurate the third Liberty loan drive

certificates Of indebtedness.

The bank took $1,000 worth of the
issue on Feb. 2T, 1913, and another

At the same time the Kent State Bank,

At the time Of the third drive the

Burley Growers Decide
To Cut Crop Next Year

LEXINGTON, KY, Aug. 19.-By a
vote of % to II, each county with
authorized delegates present having
one vote, the proposed cut-out of the
1921 hurley tobacco crop was defeated
when brought up for considera ton in
the general convention of tobacco
growers of Indiana. Kentucky and
Ohio here Wednesday. The senti-
ment of the meeting was for reduc-
ton rather than an elimination.
Steps were taken toward the perfec-
ton of the Burley Tobacco Growers
association, in which more than $4,000
farmers will be eligible for member
ship, and an organization committee
appointed and approved.
The members are John w. New
man, Woodford county, chairman; E.
M. Mansfield, Carroll county, secre-
tary; o. G. Cha pman, Clermont coun-
ty, Ohio; Victor Bradley, Scott coun-
ty; David Prewitt, Clark county; Mar
tin l.. Harris, Rising Sun, Ind; and
T. B. Hill, Montgomery county.
The tobacco situation was declared
to be the most serious in history,

The Farm and

rs. Every Duroc breeders herd will
be inspected on that date, and there
are II Of them in Wayne county.
Duroc men from adjoining counties
have been invited to enjoy the day
here and plenty of cars will be pro-
vlded. A supper will be served at
Centerville on return from the tour.
Big Type Poland Meeting.
The Big Type Poland men will meet
at the office Of the township trustee
at Centerville, Friday evening, Aug.
20. The association now has a mem
bersh1p OF about so, ten or more being
added at the recent Poland China
sales. Considerable business will come
up on Friday evening; application for
a charter being among the things to
be considered. Matters relating to
the pig club show, and general hog
show at Centerville, on September II

Small fields in that vicinity produced

Will Sow Less Wheat.
John Jackson, of Straughn, Ind.
says their elevator is full to the roof
and they have been paying $3.50 fol-
wheat and so cents for oats, as long as
they had room to take in grain.
Mr.. Jackson is rather pessimistiC
about the fall planting. He says that

very uncertain; that high-grade wheat
fertilizer is very high, and labor ex

farmers are talking now, at any rate

they did last fall. He says it wouldn't

acreage will be sown around Straughn
this fall. He says his elevator is full
for lack of cars and that this has
caused much of his trouble of late.
When asked as to the plans of the
farmers for wheat sowing this fall
Darrell Swisher, of Campbellstown,
said that <none of his customers had
said anything about their plans as yet,
and he did not know whether the
acreage would be cut, or not. He was
paying $2.35 for wheat and IS cents
for oats, on Wednesday, and said
that both were still coming in daily.
Farmers Are Holding Wheat
Harley Billman, manager of the ele-
vator at New Madison, O., states that
he has not taken in any wheat "since
the price dropped" none, in fact, for
two or three weeks. His elevator is
filled to the peak with oats, however,
| and he can't get cars to keep them
moving, much as he wishes to accom-
modate his patrons. Oats are choice
and the crop quite heavy. Recent
weather has been fine for tobacco,
| which is showing much improvement.
Oats were bringing 63 cents, or would,
if the elevator had bin room, on We'd
nesday.
Rain Checks Threshine.
Rains have slowed down oats thresh-
ing atWest Manchester, but a few rigs
were run on Wednesday afternoon,
says Walter Pedan. He reports pay
ing $2.35 for wheat and 60 cents for
oats, on Wednesday. Mr.. Pedan does
not complain of lack of cars. Asked
as to the outlook for fall sowing of
wheat he said that: Farmers have
nothing to complain of as to price, and
l believe will sow as muDh wheat as
| usual; in fact, it is likely that our
wheat acreage will be slightly in
creased, judging by what some who
have marketed grain have told me-"
Tomatoes Ripening Late.
| Tomatoes are ripening late in farm
gardens, some complain, and the to-
mato worm has been noted in many
town gardens. Indiana Gamers are
reporting late ripening of tomatoes
and canning operations have not yet
been begun in several plants.

Calf Contest

One Of the most interesting attrac-

this year will be the Calf Contest. The
Fair Board purchased these calves last
November and put them out to the
boys on Nov. 9Th, 1919. These boys
have been feeding them ever since and
there is a great anxiety among them
as to the weight of the other calves.
These calves are pure bred Herefords
purchased from the ]. c. Carson ranch
at Irwin, Nebraska, and are sure a
fine herd of calves.
These calves will be sold at Public
Auction Friday, Aug. 81, at 10 o'clock

cost of the calf will be given to the

MEMORIAL. Plan is
SHOWN BY STUDY;
Stone IS MATERIAL

Guy L. Study, architect for the
Wayne county memorial hall, to be
erected in Richmond in honor of
Wayne county men who have served
their country in time of war, returned
tc his home in St. Louis, Wednesday
evening, highly pleased with the de-
cision of the memorial committee to
construct the memorial building Of
stone.
stone is the only material to be
used in such a building. A stone struc-
ture will endure for centuries" Mr..
Study said.
May Be on North A.
Site for the memorial hall has not
yet been selected. 1t is understood
the committee favors some site on
North A street, in the central part OF
the city, as North A street is consider
ed the city's handsomest thorough
fare.
Some people have advocated the
erection of the hall in Glen Miller park
but, 1t is said, this plan has not re-
ceived serious consideration for the
reason that the committee desires the
building to be centrally located.
Mr.. Study has submitted tentative
plans for memorial hall. The front OF
the building, as shown by these plans,
is classical with magnificent pillars
setting off in a striking manner a
beautiful facade.
A large stairway of stone leads to
the building. The foundation floor can
be used for exhibition purposes. The
main memorial hall is two stories in
height with stage extending the
width of the building in the rear.
$500 is Seating Capacity.
Flanking the hall on each side, on
the main floor, are rooms for the use
of various civic organizations. The
main floor of the auditorium will seat
about 1900 people.
The second floor of the building is
occupied mainly by the gallery of the
auditorium, seating about 1000 people.
The gallery is also flanked on each
side by rooms.

Farm Federation

That the stockyards of the state
should be placed under some form of
state supervision was the opinion of
the live stock committee of the In
diana Federation of Farmers asocia-
tions, which was in session at the
state headquarters, at Indianapolis,
Tuesday. The committee also dis
cussed the ACCESSIBILITY of establishing
a market bureau at the state head
quarters to assist farmers in the CO.
operative buying of feed and other
farm supplies in wholesale quantities.
The farmers say the cost of feeding
and yardage for animals in the stock
yards is now under control of the
yard owners, and that this condition
should not exist. They believe the
producer should have more rights
when it comes to fixing the marketing
cost of his product.
