passed by the slh Legislature. has
been q puZzler to more than one per-
son, from the car owners to the Of
ficials charged with the enforcement
of the laws and registration Of mo-
tor vehicles. II. A. Shorey, Jr., di-
rector Of the Division of Motor We

he has been puzzled, to such an ex-
tent that he submitted the following
questions to the attorney generals

monty rated as a motor truck, should
the vehicle be registered as a motor

Second. Docs hotel bus used for

Third. Does a motor. truck used

ILLINOIS RIVER
FLOODS RAILROAD

CHICAGO, April 14.-Flood conditions
throughout the Middle West showed little
improvement today, according 10 reports
reaching here from flooded areas.
At Beardstown the Illinois River has
washed out restraining dykes and
stretches from bluff to bluff eighteen
miles wide. Rail service has been sus-
pended on the st. Louis division of the
Chicago, Burlington & Quincy and serv-
ice on the Baltimore & Ohio to Spring
field was discontinued today. Only about
ten blocks of the city of Beardstown are
above water. Practically all business is
being transacted by boats.
The high water at Beardstown reached
back five miles on the Cass County side
and there is little dry ground between
Bath and Meredosia on the east side of
the river The Sangamon is out of
bounds as far cast as Sprinfeld and the
Fulton County lowlands are under water
for ten miles back from the river.
At CarrOllton, Ill, fifty farmers, ten
ants of the Fairbanks valley ranch.
have been driven from their homes and
have lost everything. The Illinois River
here Is two and one half miles out of its
channel and the Fairbanks valley section
is under nine feet of water.
Between Lewiston and West Havana,
Ill. near Galesburg, the Burlington rail
way tracks have been inundated and
train service abandoned.

have tested the Daily Times set and to
say that they are pleased with 1T is
putting It mildly They have received
the programs of the Indianapolis broad
casting stations and have had great fun
listening in on the air lines.
That the youngsters are well Informed
on radio and that they would not be
satisfied with anything except the best
of it's type is shown by their eager In
spection of The Daily Times Radio
phone. 1t is interesting to note the
knowledge of radio equipment displayed
by the boys who come to The Times
office to examine this up-to- date set.
One of the first questions they ask is
whether the set is equipped with re-
ceiving phones, for they know that the
phones are one of the expensive units
and that a set is not complete without
receiving phones. Then they want to
know what kind Of phones are used and
they are pleased 20 find that The Times
phones are not cheap, but are standard
1000 ohm resistance. Navy type. They
also are pleased to find that the wave
length range of The Times super sensi-
tive receive set is 750 meters.
Every boy, and in numerous cases his
father. seems to want to be the first in
his neigbborhood to have The Daily
Times Radiophone.
Under the special offer of the Daily
Times, any one can secure this set with
very little effort, and without cost. Full
details are given at the Times office,
where the complete Radiophone is on ex-
hibition.

Everybody is interested in radio. The
Daily Times learned this. when 1t esta6-
lshed q daily Radio Department some
time ago. and further evidence is given
by the many applications received for
the complete Radiophone now offered by
this newspaper to the radio enthusiasts
Of Indianapolis and vicinity
In indianapolis more than three hun
dred men and boys have applied for the
DAILY Times Radiophone, and nearly as
many within a forty five mile radius of
the city-although the Radiophone was
only announced two days ago.
NOT A PLAYTHING
But A REAL OUTFIT.
The Daily Times Radiophone is not
a toy. 1t is a super sensitive radio re-
ceiving set, including Tuner Cabinet
and Head Set, with Receiving Phones.
The actual size of the Tuner Cabinet is
7a4 6a4 4A inches. The entire set is
of the highest quality materials. 1t is
the finest, most sensitive and compact
radiophone of its type. The crystal
adjustment is sensitive and permanent
No batteries are needed and there is no
maintenance cost. 1t IS rated as a 90
mile instrument, but music and voice
from more than double this distance
have been brought in clearly, and under
good atmospheric conditions the lhstru-
ment has picked up radio programs
from stations more than two hundred
miles away. Also, the outfit can be used
with other units to build a loud speak
ing set The head set consists of two
receiving phones, 1000 ohm resistance,
Navy type.
EXPERT TESTS SET
IN AUTOMOBILE.
The Daily Times Radiophone was given
a novel test by Harrison Durant, mana
ger Of the Radio Division of the Hatfield
Electric Company, Indianapolis. Mr..
Durant took the set in an automobile and
drove to several different distant points
in the city. He reported that he had no
difficulty in picking up market reports
and music being broadcasted by WOH
(the Hatfield station) and that the Daily
Times Radiophone is all that is claimed
for 1t.

BOISE, Idaho. April 1.-THE story OF
Idaho and It's present plight is soon told.
What has happened here lies on the rec
ords, plain and clear, for all to read.
The State has not had a prosperous year
since 1919. The winter of 1919 20 was.
in fact, two winters rolled into one. 1t
was extraordinarily severe. Before the
war, Idaho was principally a cattle and
sheep State. There was not enough food
through that hard winter to feed the
livestock on the ranges Hay was brought
in by express at $3.50 ton. While the
stock raisers were prosperous, they had
borrowed great deal of money. They
had been solicited to borrow all they
wanted. As a natural result they Dor
rowed more than they needed. and a
great deal more than they could repay,
when the evil days came.
Idaho did not prosper even during the
flush times OF 1920. The high prices Of
agricultural commodities, in that period
and before, started a great diveesifica-
tion Of crops In this State Land that
had been given over to cattle and sheep
ranges was converted by irrigation prof.
ects into farm lands to grow potatoes,
lettuce, sugar beets. grain and all sorts
Of farm products.
The farmers are the worst sufferers
now. They made first payments on
their lands and water rights, and then,
just as they got all set" came the
