MARSHALL MAY TAKE
M'CULL0CH'S PLACE
ON STATE TICKET
(By Associated Press)

INDIANAPOLIS, May IT, While
which will hold it's state convention in
Indianapolis May 10 and 20. profess
there are no indications of any serious
scraps" within the party, word from
movement on foot to place Vice Presi-
dent Thomas r. Marshall in at the
head of the state ticket, supplanting
DR.. Carlton B. McCulloch, who obtain
ed a plurality in the recent primary
for the nomination.
Mr.. Marshall former governor of
Indiana, who has indicated time after
time that he would not be a candidate
for the Democratic presidential NOM
nation, has a strong following in this
state and, according to the word from
Washington, the leaders believe that
with Marshall heading the ticket an
Irresistible movement" for the sue
cess of the party in Indiana could be
inaugurated.
The movement, it is said, has not
been brought to Mr.. Marshalrs at
tention, and it was said would not be
unless DR.. McCulloch withdraws from
the race. So far as could be learned
here DR.. McCulloch has given no in
dication of Withdrawing. The mat
ter. it is said, has been discussed with
Thomas Taggart. who was chosen the
Democratic candidate for United
States senator in the recent primary
without opposition, but so far his posi-
ton has not been made known.
Bosse to be Reelected
Benjamin Bose, mayor Of Evans
vile, it is expected will be reelected
state chairman at the organization
meeting of the new state central COM
mittee on Wednesday. The delegates
to the state convention will meet that
evening by districts. to choose two
delegates each for the National con-
vention and members of the state con-
vention committees. The convention
proper will not convene until Thurs
day morning. Indications are that
there will be few contests for places
on the state ticket.
One woman probably will be named
on the Big Four" delegation at large
and it is said she will be either Mrs.
Slice Foster McColloch. of Fort
! Wayne, or Miss Julia Landers, of Ind
annapolis. The other three probably
will be Vice President Marshall. Mr.

Despite Spending, Savings
Grow: Prohibition Is Giuen
(OhiO State JOurnaD

One rather puZZling feature of these
unusual times is the way people spend
their money with such reckless aban
ldon and still the savings deposits in
the banks and building and loan asso-
Citations continue to mount so rapidly
and so substantially.
A thoughtful man Of our acquaint-
ance vouchsafes a reason for this
phenomenon which may explain it at
least partially. Prohibition is at the
cotton of it, he says. He estimates
'snat something like S3,500,000, 900 was
spent yearly on drink in the old wet
days. and. making a rough estimate
of S500,000,000 as the amount which
.oes to bootleggers he says that the
remaining 100000, 900. or much of il.
now is either turned over to the wives
of the former drinkers for the pur-
chase of food, clothing and luxuries
for themselves and the children, or
Csc goes into savings accounts.
There may be a good deal in this
vi.w; it would help explain why
people seem to have so much more
money to spend than ever before and
SILL despite the ratio of prices to
wages. can save a great deal Our
national troubles are many. but to
Sundreds of thousands of families pro-
hibition has brought more comfort
and happiness than they ever knew
before

BOOB PUBLIC SELLS
ITS LIBERTY BONDS,
BEST VALUES EVER

National extravaganza and waste,
individual and collective, are depre-
ciating the market value of Liberty
and Victory bonds to an alarming ex-
tent
Failure of millions of original buy
ers of these securities to keep their
war pledge to Uncle Sam and hold
them for redemption has so glutted
the market that the supply far ex-
ceeds the demand.
The result is that since the first
of the year, despite its unshakable
face value, each 500 Liberty 312 per
cent bond has declined about $3.50 in
marketable value; each Liberty first
per cent bond about $3.50; each
Liberty second per cent bond about
$685.; each Liberty first 4A per cent
bond about $7.15; each Liberty second
AZ per cent bond about 725; each
Liberty third Az per cent bond about
$3.50; each Liberty fourth Az per
cent bond about 7.05; each Victory
3s4 per cent bond about $500. and
each Victory 424 per cent bond about
S3.05.
Bankers and Others Explain.
Inquiries among bankers and bust
ness men gave these explanations for
the pronounced drop:
Original buyers, largely because OF
the increased cost of living, but even
more because of the abandonment of
the general policy of saving inaugu-
rated with the coming of the war,
are violating their implied pledge TO
the United States government when
they bought them.
Because of this the market has be
Il; cSix oil
in fulfillment of the general law on
all commodities when the supply
greatly exceeds the demand.
The banks, which, especially on the
later issues, took more than their fair
share of the bonds when the buying
power of the public becam lessened,
save sold them in large numbers to
investors, who in turn are re-selling
them.
Many manufacturers and other
classes of business men have sold
them heavily in order to meet their
income taxes without lowering their
working capital, needed both for run
ming expenses and expansion.
On the other hand, it was stated
that hundreds of industrial concerns,
with SURPRISES on hand, recognizing
the attractive character of the invest
ment, are buying these bonds in large
numbers.
Careful figuring has show them, 1t
| is stated, that whatever the issue may
be. such investment will yield them an
a absolutely assured return on the av-
erage basis of ga per cent annual in
terest.
| Bearing out this figuring. bankers
are advising inquiring customers that
there is no better security of it's kind
extant, and because of this recognized
fact there is more trading in Liberty
and Victory bonds than in any other
class of that type of security.

C0UNTY'S CHILDREN
SHOW LOSS OF 106

In comparison II a gain of 155 child
rem in Wayne county last year, the
total county enumeration for 1920, just
compiled at the office of County Sup

JOG
The loss has been suffered chiefly
with minors between 16 and II years
old. In Dalton township the enumera-
ton showed not one person between
these ages, and only eight between
II and 16.
This simply means that the work
ing minors are going to high wage
centers, and that the farm communi-
ties are losing out" said Superintend-

Tobacco Producing Costs
Are Shown in Figures of
Kentucky State SURVEYS

LEAlNGI On, ny. May Intimate
information concerning the cost of pro-
ducing tobacco in Kentucky, gained
from careful survey in 81 hurley
producing farms in Fayette, Scott, Jes-
samine and Woodford counties and So
farms in the BLACK patch, principally
in Christian county, the chief dark TO-
bacco producer, are given in report
made public by the state experiment
station.
Having considered man and horse
labor. land rent. use of barn and
sticks and machinery. manure and
fertilizer. fire and hail insurance and
coal and wood, the report saws that
the average cost of producing one
pound of hurley tobacco was &c cents:
the average cost of producing an Acre,
296; the average yield. per acre. 1.141
pounds. The cost of man labor was
1921 an acre and the cost or horse
labor $40 an acre.
In the dark tobacco section, the av-
erage cost of producing d pound of the
keed was found to be 16 cents and the
average production cost of an acre.
$14S.
Regarding basing sale prices on the
average cost of production, the re-
port says
During the period of the war and
since that time the prices of commodi-
ties, for example, wheat. were fixed
by government commissions. This
gave rise to a good deal of discussion
on the subject and once more raised
the question of the cost of production
as basis of price fixing 1t is evil
dent. however. from this survey, that
this policy is erroneous. A price based
on the average cost would be too low
and would be inadequate to maintain
the necessary production thus result
ing in a decreased supply"
The reason this is true is that while
26 cents was the average production
cost, this average was brought down
because of exceedingly low cost on
a few farms, only SO per cent being
PRODUCED at that figure or less. 1t is
evident, the report says, that if the
price had been set based on the av-
erage cost, Al per cent of all tobacco
produced on these farms would have
sold at loss.

Fish by Unappreciatiiue Boys

Some Centerville boys went fishing
a week or so ago. They saw two men
fishing. Strange to say. however the
men placed their fish in a box, then
in a gunny sack and buried them deep
in Noland's Fork
After the men had left the youths
with true detective instincts investi-
gated. They found 70 whisky bottles.
The boys Strung up" the bottles
on a nearby bridge rail and calmly
shot them down-all 80.
There may be those who will regret
the step. Wonder if the two gentle
men initially connected in the cpl
sode didn't cuss a little.

King Gabriel, of Fiume
Maintains Elaborate Court
New York Tribune !


Fiume-"This is the most interest
ing court in Europe" said one of d An
nunzio's secretaries at the luncheon
rendered the poet on st. Gabrielle s
day, when the "liberator' of Fiume
acted his part with courtiers, soldiers
and kings guards" and the populace
acted theirs.
Fanfares of trumpets, the rush to
arms of the kings guard" announced
his every entrance and exit. He is al
ways accompa MED by long line of
aides and functionaries and wears a
happy countenance himself. At meals
all the courtiers center their attention
upon him and listen to the stories he
tells, laughing some times and crying
at others.
DAnnunzio' wishes in food are al
ways complied with and religious zeal
marks the efforts of the encourage to
please him. His uniform is always
spic-and-span. There is not a blem-
ish on his clothing from heel to
crown. His long Italian cape some
times calls TO mind the familiar garb
of the fallen William III in his German
military cape.
On public occasions in theaters his
place Is reserved with much atten-
ton, and when he enters cheers are
given by the men and women who
follow him. When he gives a concert
in the palace his place in the front
row is respected with the reverence
due to religious chief. His apart
ments are bedecked with all sorts of
presents from the townspeople. ltal-
ian and Dalmatian flags make up the
color scheme. On his name day he
was the recipient of bowers of flow
ers from admirers in the city. The
royal march greets him when he
ma kes his appearance on the balcony
of the palace.
