COMBAT Twin
WHEAT PESTS
MiIIerS Warn Farmers on
Garlic, Onions.

MT. VERNON, Ind, Oct. s.
Flour mill operators of southern In
diana are uniting to fight the wild
garlic and onion pests, which prom
Use to rival the corn borer in damage
to crops, unless immediate steps are
taken to check their spread.
InfeStation of southern Indiana
wheat fields in recent years by gar
lie and onions has reached a point
where immediate action is neces-
sary, the millers declare, and cam
paign is planned to educate farmers
regarding methods of fighting the
invasion.
The situation is far more serious
than many farmers realize, j. l..
Grigg, spokesman for the millers
declares. Garlic and onions are
costing the southern Indiana wheat
belt thousands of dollars each
year, with every prospect that if a
war of eradication Is not started i'm
mediately, the damages will increase
at an appalling rate. The peril, he
pointed out, is not several years in
the future, as is that from the corn
borer, for whose control the Fed
eral Government already is spend
ing millions of dollars yearly.
Crops in this vicinity already are
being badly damaged" Grigg de-
clared. There must be no further
delay in putting into operation a
systematic plan of combating the
pests"
Deplorable as the situation is, he
added, it is one that can be rene
died. Eradication is entirely feas-
ible, with the right methods of cul-
tivation intend to give series of
lectures over this part of the State
to bring farmers to the realization
of the danger. I believe that once
the public is aroused we will be VIC
torious in our campaign, and south
-ern Indiana wheat and flour will as
sumo the same high position it has
held in the past"

BRIDE CHARGE
HITS FIREMAN
Lawyer Says $500 Offered
on Paving Petition.

Charge that city fireman offered
him 500 if he would sign petition
for the paving Of North st. from
Sherman DR.. to the Belt Railroad
with asphalt, instead of with con-
crete, was made by James H. Rags
dale, attorney, before the board OF
works today.
II willingly will appear before
any authorities or the grand Jury
and substantiate the charge" Rags
dale voluntarily told Board Presi-
dent Frank Cones, presiding over
his first session since elevation to
that Office by Mayor Duvall's Tues
day shakeup.
Ragsdale said he did not know
the f1reman's name, but would as
sist city officials in determining it.
He said the fireman claimed to be
representing the contractor who was
low bidder on the street to be paved.
Ragsdale added that the same Of
fer was made to one of his neigh
borS.
81 don't favor either type Of paw
ing" he said, "but I want to see a
square deal given the people and
the contractors as we'll"
Cones said if the charge was sub
stantiated it appeared to be a
plain case of bribery" and that the
board would investigate the matter
thoroughly. Bids will be held Up
on the project, he said. The city
engineer had issued a preliminary
order for paving the street with
asphalt.

BENEFITS seen
IN DIVORCE BY
FORMER JUDGE
Humane Association Is Told
Sex Education Needed
in Public Schools.

Declarin gthat divorce is not an
evil but benefit and advocating
the idea that sex education should
be forwarded in grade schools, Ro-
land w. Baggott, former Judge of
the Court Of Domestic Relations at
Dayton, Ohio, spoke before the con-
vention OF the American Humane
Association today In the SEVERN.
Divorce is not an evil, but an
aid to social progress" he said.
Marriage as an institution is
sound, but 1t should be modernized.
Widespread divorce suggests a COR
responding drop In conventional
marriages, but such is not the case.
Ideas of marriage are going through
a gradual change and are becoming
better each day.
Inherited ideas Of morality and
fear OF conservative opinion sun
press and distort sex facts. The
youngster gains his sex knowledge
in alleys and barns. AS he grows
he gains knowledge from actual ex-
perience with women.
often his ideas gained are dis
torted. The home is advanced as
a school for sex knowledge, but the
home has failed miserably In such
function. Children should be taught
exact and intimate sex facts from
the time they are in grade school
until they get through college" the
judge said.
Teachers fool around now with
facts bordering on the real facts.
In school students study the
chicken embryo in the egg. Why
not study tn ehuman embryo?
I'VE make laws regulating moral
ity. They can't be successful. We
still have the same sex instincts.
We see a young man and woman
spooning in the park. It is unlaw-
ful, but 1t should not be-" he>said.
Il don't advocate free love or
trial love-" he judge went on. "But
I advocate intelligent love ana
marriage"
The convention closes Thursday
at noon.

C|LL|OM AGAIN
RAKES PETERS
Will You Ever Answer Me?
Is Burden of His Say.

Attorney General Arthur L. Gill
liom wrote another letter to DEM
ocratic State Chairman R. Earl
Peters today.
"For the fourth time I ask you
whether you are going to answer the
question originally put to you"
wrote Gilliom.
IT acknowledge your letter of Oct.
8, in which you again evade the
question Of whether you will name
the groups of super-government and
secret government that I named and
urge your party in the next cam
paign to take a position against their
dominating and secret influences in
politics and government"
Gilliom answers three barbs which
Peters tossed in his direction.
Regarding his opinion that D. C.
Stephenson could not be removed
from State prison to Indianapolis as
witness, Gilliorn pointed out this
was in a civil suit.
Gilliom denied saying the admin
istretion of Governor Jackson would
be recorded as a great success in a
speech at Vincennes, but said he did
say that the administration of all
the present elective officers would be
so regarded.
He said that Peters citation OF
the Khan stand of DR.. Carlton B.
McCulloch, Democratic nominee for
Governor in 1924, was no more in
dicative of the party's stand today
than would be James Cox's declar-
alton for the Leaue of Nations.

on 100 acres. The company was url-
able to pay dividends and maintain
an active building program at the
same time, However, under Rauh's
management, the plant had been
increased to 200 acres and eight
buildings in fifteen years.
Destroyed by Fire
In the spring of 1904 the local
yards were destroyed by fire, but
despite the heavy loss and the re-
sultant confusion, provisions imme-
diately were made for the handling
and distribution of livestock without
interruption.
The company rebuilt its plant on
a much larger scale than before,
and with steady growth, has insti-
tuted a business policy of meeting
all modern requirements.
Recent growth in hog and sheep
business has necessitated a new hog
shed, in use within few days. This
building has $50 pens and increases
the total capacity of the yards to
10000 hogs.
The abandoned hog building will
be used for the sheep division, which
has had an extensive growth during
the last two years.

STOCKYARDS TO
/ STAGE JUBILEE
( IN NOVEMBER
First Carload of Livestock
j Brought Here for Sale
as so Years Ago.

The stockyards and livestock
market of Indianapolis will cele-
brate their fiftieth anniversary next
month.
Officials Of the Belt Railroad and
Stockyards Company have set aside
Nov. IL for the jubilee celebration,
commemorating the marketing of
the first carload of livestock, Nov.
IL, 1877.
The days program has not been
planned definitely, but probably will
include an old-fashioned barbecue,
speeches by old-timers and a ban
quet and dance in the evening.
Committees have been appointed,
and with cooperation of Samuel E.
Rauh, president of the Belt Rail-
road and Stockyards Company, will
have a program worked out within
a short time.
Not only will men long identified
with the livestock industry of Indi-
annapolis enjoy the day, but it is
proposed to plan activities for the
thousands of patrons throughout
Indiana, Illinois, Ohio and Ken
lucky.
Need Seen in Sixties
Early in the SOS. livestock was
sold without competition, to the pri-
vate yards of meat packers. Mich
olas McCarty, having visited the
Chicago and st. Louis yards pointed
out the need of such a stockyards
for the growing livestock industry
of central Indiana.
The packing business of Indianap-
oils just was beginning development.
Kingan & Co. had moved it's plant
from Cincinnati and was operating
private stockyards, openedin 1870.
Five years later another yard was
put into operation by the Exchange
Stockyards and Manufacturing
Company, with plant located on
White river just north of the old
I. & v. Railroad.
At this time the idea of belt
railroad combined with a large stock
yards was brought to the attention
of the city. The project was put
under way, but met with failure be-
cause of the panic of 1873.
Gets Successful Start
It later successfully was finished
by the Union Railroad Transfer and
Stockyards Company, with the &C
tive support of Mayor Gavin.
This company was headed by w.
r. McKeen, former president Of the
Vandalia Railroad and the McKeen
National Bank of Terre Haute.
The old Exchange Stockyards
and Manufacturing Company alb
sorbed by the new firm in 1877. The
early days of its history represent a
constant struggle, with problems
that only men of courage could han
die.
Such a leader was found in the
person of Samuel E. Raslh, who be-
came president in Fehsuary, 1897,
and has held the position ever since.
He was at that time president OF
the Moore Packing Company.
It began operation with four sheds

Boobies Gone: May Be ON
Way to old FiShin' Hole
Lad Doesn't Like New City
So Away He Goes to
See World.

If you've ever moved into a new
neighborhood where you didn't know
any of the fellers, with no place to go
fishin' and your dads working in
another town and you don't think
much of startin' school in strange
place-maybe you know why Bobbie
Cummings, 9, of 1913 N. Fulton ST., is
missing today.
Boobies mother told police that
they moved here from Bloomington,
Ind, last Friday, and Bobbie didn't
like it at all. The mother believes
the boy, clad in striped overalls,
marched up the street while she was
at the grocery Tuesday morning,
and may have started back to
Bloomington. y
The lad is fond of fishing, having
begged his father to let him bring
his rod and reel from Bloomington
and the mother fears he may have
gone to river or gravel pit.
Bobbie has blue eyes, unruly brown
hair, and a diagonal scar across his
upper lip.

EXPERT NEVER
SAW TORNADO
Kansas Weather Bureau
Chief Is World Authority.
BIZ United PreSa

By United Press
KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Oct. g.
Despite the fact that he never has
seen the funnel-shaped cloud of a
tornado, S. D Flora, Kansas Sec
ton chief for the United States
weather bureau, is regarded by
bureau officials as the worlds auth
GRITTY on tornaGes.
He has the largest collection of
tornado pictures in existance-.
Seventy-six views. The collection
of the United States weather ranks
next in size.
Flora declares tornado, despite
its tremendous power, does not blow
a building to pieces. A mighty ex-
plosj0 m, rivaling the bursting of q
grea shell, does the damage. The
building bursts from the inside.
The average number of tornadoes
which yearly visit America is about
ninety. The great bulk of these
occur in the immense valley be-
tween the Appalachian and Rocky
Mountains, mostly through May and
June.
Flora believes the great Muhphys-
boro, ILL.,, disaster, the greatest tor
nado on record. The longest known
came on March20, 1857, travelling a
distance of $50 miles from a point
in western Georgia, through South
Carolina and into Northern Caro-
lima.
No set rules can be applied to a
tornado, Flora has decided. AS a
general thing, he says, however, they
will travel toward the northwest,
but even this rule is broken. They
usually occur in the afternoon and
are rarely more than two city blocks
| in width.
