senate. Its defeat in the senate result
ed from the placing OF rider on the
measure, which rider" carried legisla-
ton entirely foreign to the patent
system.
There is now pending in congress a
bill similar to the one passed by the
house at the last congress and its sup
porters are hopeful of its enactment.
Their one concern is the ancient hos
tility Of the farming interests to the
patent system, but they believe that
feeling has practically disappeared in
lnost of the agricultural sections of the
country When the patent office bill
was discussed in the last congress
there was practically no opposition to
it on the part of Indiana farmers.
The inventions which the American
farmer now uses did not exist before
the patent system, but have been de
lised almost wholly since its establish
ment,' remarked an Indiana congress-
man.
Under the pending latent Office bill
the proposed salary Increases for the
employees of that service will not cost
the tax payer anything. The additional
funds will be raised by a 500 increase
in each of the two fees required for

RICHMOND DISTRICT
STANDS HIGH IN WORK
OF N, E, CONFERENCE

Richmond district of the Methodist
Episcopal church not only leads the
North Indiana conference by its rec
ords, as shown at the reports given in
the recent annual conference, but 1t
also leads the o1ner two conferences
in the Indianapolis area. This fact
was brought out in the area council
meeting held in Indianapolis Thurs
day and Friday. 1t is looked upon as
an unusual achievement.
Setting up of a program for the next
four years period was one of the
principal duties of the council. 1t is
believed the council will coordinate
more closely the work of the three
conferences in this area. Each dis
trict superintendent, and pastors and
laymen, about equally divided, attend
ed the two days sessions.
New Plan Explained.
In the constitution adopted, there is
provided an area council. representing
the three conferences; conference
councils. one from each OF the confer
ences; district councils and city coun-
ellis. The Indianapolis area is to be
managed by four main committees,
under which about 20 subcommittee
will function. These four main COM
mittees include that of executive and
finance, which is composed of the res
ident bishop; the editor Of the West
ern Christian Advocate, official Meth
odist publication; all of the district
superintendent in the area; and one
pastor and one layman from each dis
trict; public interest committee, con-
sisting of two district superintendent,
nj Au4 ct or6 VIC 10 q n
young peoples work committee, in
Guiding one district superintendent.
three pastors and three layrnen; and
cds, which consists of one district SUI
perintendent, three pastors and three
laymen.
Being a district superintendent, DR..
Somerville Light Of this city, is a
m member of the executive committee of
the area. He was also appointed as
the district superintendent to serve on
the committee of sources and meth
DDS. o. F. Ward, member Of the local
Grace church, was appointed as lay
member of the executive and finance
committee from this district
Extensive Holdings.
Discussion and reports showed that
the property held in Indiana by the
Methodist Episcopal church is valued
at 100000, and that gifts for all pur-
poses from the three conferences dur
ing the year just ended, totaled $4,000
900. 1t was also shown that Indiana
is the largest Methodist center in the
world, per capita. Another interest
ing disclosure was that more copies of
the Western Christian Advocate, the
Methodist publication, were purchas-
ed in Indiana than in Ohio. the state
in which the paper is published.
The Indianapolis area is composed
Of the Indiana conference, North In
diana conference and the Northwest
Indiana conference

DRY enforcement
TO PASS-NICH0LS0N

Indications are that the new prohi-
bition enforcement bill. introduced in
congress by Representative Volstead
early this week, will become a law &C
cording to S. Edgar Nicholson, ma
tional secretary OF the Anti-Saloon
League, who returned to Richmond
from Washington Saturday. Mr.. Mich
olson has been attending to the Anti
Saloon League interests in congress
and in the several departments.
THE outstanding features of this
bill said Mr.. Nicholson, lis to pre-
vent the use of beer as a medicine.
the occasion for which is the ruling
of former Attorney General Palmer,
that the original Volstead law did not
cover that situation; only spirituous
liquors being designated in the med
ical section of that act.
That decision" continued Mr..
Nicholson, raised the hopes of some
brewers and of some of the thirsty.
that there was to be a return of beer,
even for beverage use. They forgot
the fact that all liquors to be used as
a beverage containing over one-half
per cent of alcohol are prohibited We
have the testimony of hundreds of
leading physicians and druggists in
the country to the effect that beer has
no medicinal value, and that it has
never been listed in the United States
"Pharmacopeia."
Another provision of the bill for
bids any importation of spirtuous for
five years and any further manufac-
ture of such liquors in this country,
until the supply on hand is reduced to
a minimum quantity, sufficient to
meet all probable demands. Another
section forbids the use of liquors, ex-
cept alcohol, as base in compound
ing medicines, except in cases where
it can be shown by conclusive proof
that such preparations cannot be
made without liquors, and then these
liquors must be denatured or other
wise treated so as to render them un
fit for beverage purpose. Still an
other section gives the attorney gen
eral coordinate power with the com
missioner to revoke permits. The
purpose of the bill is to supplement
the original Eolstead act and make
| the enforcement of prohibition more
certain"

not quite bear out this figure, al
though they do indicate that the to-
tai is somewhere between 3,0OO,O0c
and 100000.
Charles Fox, member Of the Indiana
industrial board in charge of free EN-
ployment service estimates there are
100000 unemployed persons in lndl-
ana at present.
Approximately 100000 are reported
by the government survey to be out
of work in Ohio. This unemployment
is divided with the northern end bear
ing the greater share, Cleveland being
reported with $1,000 and Toledo with
$4,000: Cincinnati $4,000 and Akron
with 10000.
George F. Miles, director Of the
United States labor service in the
state says the resumption of outside
construction work, and lake traffic
will absorb some of the unemployed
but, he said, unless industry is speed
ed up within a few months, the situa
ton will become acute.

The patent Office lost a large number
of it's experienced personnel at the
outbreak of the war. and only small
percentage of these MEN have returned
TO the service since the close of the
war. Others have been taken by pri-
vate enterprises. Meanwhile, the
amount OF work to be done at the
patent office has increased at an ex-

been thrown far behind, and it must
have some relief if it is to render salts

EATON, O., April 30.-There is
comparatively little damage to Preble
county clover from weevil or borer,
according to T. H. Parks. state ento-
mologist who visited Preble county
this week, in accordance with the in
vitation of County Agent Turner. AL
though patches of clover which have
been killed out may be seen in many
fields and insects are present in them
the entomologist stated that most of
the damage was due to winter killing.
Weevil is present in greater numbers
than the borer.
Parks also viewed the fruit trees
and stated that some apples, al
though not a heavy crop were still
unchanged by the cold weather in
the varieties known as Baldwin, Maid
enblush, Red Astrakkan, Limbertwig
White Pipp Pippin, Duchess and Sum
mer Rambo.
The presence of adult Hessian flies
in small numbers was noted in the
wheat, and of eggs in greater number
but on account of the lateness of the
brood. the entomologist predicted
little damage from the fly.

PUBLIC HACKERS
LOSE FIRST ROUND
Court Upholds Parking Regu.
lations-Appeal Prob
able.

The public hackers who disagreed
with the District Commissioners
over the new parking regulations
lost their fight yesterday in the
Supreme Court to prevent the Conn
missioners from enforcing the regu-
lations. Justice Jennings Bailey In
Equity Court announced his inten-
ton OF granting the motion of the
Commissioners to dismiss the hack
ers' bill of complaint.
The regulation complained of pro-
vided that no driver of a public
vehicle shall stop at any point on
the streets of the city except at a
public hack stand while actually
taking on or discharging passen-
gers. This caused, the hackers
complained, a loss to them amount
ing to about $3.50 a day. The hack
ers also complained that their stop
ping places were limited to thirty
five hack stands, accommodating
about 1876 vehicles. when, il was
alleged, there are 1877 hackers to be
considered.
1t is probable that Needham c.
Turnage, counsel for the hackers,
win appeal to the Court of Appeals
as soon as Justic. Bailey has form
ally signed an order Diminishing the
bill of complaint.
