The mayor requested me TO say to

as he could leave his chair he would

did so. After some discussion. the

would be constructed and that in
very short time.

direction are being made. Neither did

the promised canal which brought
from us more petitions. At last | re-

asking J. II. Lewis. Leon MereauX

the construction of the canal. We
met Mr. Earl and | handed him a
petition to the mayor, but not yet
delivered to him, requested him to
see that the canal be not placed else
where than on the forty aTpent line.
Mr.. Earl read the petition and return
ed it TO me without comment. \ map
showing the way the canal would run
was shown us: the Mississippi river
did not appear on the map. and while
we were not told that the canal was
on the forty-arpent line. neither were
we told that it was not. 1t was
agreed that George \. Hero. presi-
dent of the jefferson PlaQuemrne
Drainage District would construct the
canal and the city would do an equi-
valent amount of excavation for Hero,
but. it was agreed tfNt the city was
at no time to do a greater amount of
excavation than, in a like time Mr.
Hero should have done in the canal
this was to prevent the very thing

listened to a number of talks by o. ID.
A. orators. The mteting was prepar-
atoyr to the big ward rally to be held

DIR. ]. George Dempsey. o. D. A.
candidate for coroner, was the first
speaker, saying in part:
81 have no hesitancy in speaking of
the new administration, for the U.
d A. is going to sweep the city on
election day. An old worked-out
horse can do nothing new. Mayor
Behrman can get no new funds. But
the new administration will get the
funds, and not from the small man.
The big protected corporations. who
make their money from the poor. are
going to be made to pay their pro-
rata for the construction of the streets
and for the other Improvements
w. J. Smith, who spoke next said:
This J. ]. Leblanc, who is now
speaking in the interest of the rims,
declared during the gubernatorial cam
paign that Parker was a godsend to
labor and that Behrman was most I'M
friendly to it. In June he saw fit
to change his opinion. He now says
Behrman is labor's apostle and Par.

But Leblanc shows no reasons. and
cannot hope to get converts

The Farm and

there Is much more corn coming in at

would indicate that farmers are salts.

frost damage, and that much of 1t has
made up lost time from late planting.
Recent rains in the western corn belt
has had a softening effect on prices
Boston, Kitchell, Fountain City and
Wits Station were paying $3.50 to
s235 for wheat; $1.35 for corn and 5s
cents for oats on Monday. December

$120h on Saturday, sold as low as

turn. Monday. March selling down to
$226 and closing at $2.2S. against
S235 on Saturday, with December at

vator prices.
About Through at Dublin.
W. B. Woodward, grain buyer at
Dublin, says his season has practical
ly closed. He took in 200 bushels of
wheat on Monday, but 1t Is nearly all
cleaned up that hasn't been put into
farm bins. Same is true Of oats and
rye Mr.. Woodward saws tht he got
his share of the rye, and that prevail
ing price up his way was $3.50 per
bushel He has been able to ship out
all receipts, as per sales contracts
and his bins are about empty.

ger OF the Milton Grain company,
but we have 5000 bushels of oats CT
Bentonville, on the Pennsy, for which
we have been unable to get cars. We
need room for more oats at that point,
also for other grain. We paid $1.4O
for the last corn taken in and 60 cents
for oats. At present market SIS to 81
cents would be liberal for oats at our
stations, and $1.35 a good price for
corn"

CHILDREN MAY NOT
GET SUPPLEMENTARY
BOOKS THIS WINTER

Indiana school children may be de-
prived of the use of supplemental text.
books this year, as a result OF the pro-
fessed inability of publishers to pro.
vide books at prices heretofore listed
with the state superintendent of pub
lie instructions, unless legal action is
resorted to in an effort to force their
compliance with the state law.
Publishers either are refusing to fill
orders at the list prices. or are ship
ping the books with invoice showing
increases of from so to Is per cent.
Dealers and school cities handling
the books are prohibited by law from
selling them at a price exceeding by
IL per cent the listed net price, and
as a result are in a quandary as to
what action to pursue.
Hines Advises Legal Action.
Local school authorities throughout
the state who have complained of the
action Of the publishers to l.. N. Hines
state superintendent of public instruc-
ment for the books at the list price,
and in the event of refusal, to refer
the question to the county prosecuting
attorney for action.
The Indiana law governing the sale
OF school text books, enacted in 1919,
requires that publishers file with the
state superintendent a sworn state
ment of the usual list price of their
books, and file also surety bond OF
from $4,000 to $4,000 that they will
supply books so listed for a period Of
five years at the lowest price contain
ed in the statement.
The law also provides fine of not
more than $500, or Imprisonment OF
not more than three months, or both
as penalty for violation.
Publishers Hold Law invalid
Attorney General Stansbury has
given an informal opinion that the
publishers have no right to charge
more than the list price for their
books. but representatives of the pub
fishing houses believe the law invalid.
Ralph w. Douglas, assistant bust
ness director Of the indianapolis
schools and chairman of a committee
in charge of distribution in local
schools, said yesterday that all books
ordered by the school board of school
commissioners had been ordered sub
ject to the conditions of the Indiana
law, and that publishers who had
shipped books at higher prices will be
offered only the list total.
Distribution Plans Completed
Plans for handling distribution have
been completed, subject to the approx
al of the state board Of accounts. A
fund from which to pay freight
charges and expenses of distribution
will be set aside, with John o. Bren-
ner, deputy auditor in the office Of
the city controller, as treasurer. Ar
rangements are being made to allot
the proper number of books to all
the schools of the city where they
will be sold by the teachers, who in
turn will be responsible to the princi.
pals Of their building.
Books will be sold at cost, plus II
per cent, for handling, as provided by
the law. The narrow margin of pro-
fit allowed caused the dealers de-
cision not to handle the books this
year, and the assumption of the task
by the school board.
