Chinese Raising Wheat

ONE suggested solution of the wheat surplus
~ problem which holds more threat than
solution is the proposal that efforts be made to
train the Chinese taste to the use of wheat

been obtained but along with the development
of the taste for -four has gone development

around 10000 900 bushels are grown in Man.
churia.
The 90 900 900 bushels may not be such a
heavy output in themselves, but they represent
the potentialities of the Manchurian wheat
fields if the production should be undertaken
large scale.
This year, because of serious foods the crops
have been cut to about 2oo0 900 bushels, but
the Chinese. with the harvest short and the
soybean output only about 10 per cent Of
normal, instead of seeking wheat in foreign
markets. have turned to cheaper cereals SUCH
millet, corn and grain sorghumS. Some ideo
of what the development of wheat growing in
China has meant may be had from the COM
parative figures for 1923 and 1927. In the
former year Manchuria imported ,760 900 bar
rels of -four while in 1927 this figure had
dropped to 800 900.

In 1895 in which Burr Macintosh took the
part of Taffy, and Blanche Walsh that Of
Trilby which part. besides calling for good act

voice with which to sing the song Ben Bolt"
Miss Walsh was all right so far as good acting
was concerned and her feet were perfectly
preSentable devoid of shoes and stockings, but
she was not a singer, and so it was arranged
that the song should be sung while Trilby was
off the stage, and then it done by some
one else in most delightful manner.

commends Mr.. LackayeS Interpretation very
highly, saying:
.'Mr Lackaye who carried the titular part,
WAS obviously fashioned after Mr. Barrett over
whom he has the advantage of youth and
graceful personality. His first act was we'll
finished piece of acting. In the later passages
where Garrick feigns intoxication, he may at
least be said to have exceeded expectations"
Another account, speaking of this perform
ance, says:
"Mr Lackaye in the title role was especially
good" and still another said he gave "a remark
ably strong and well cut rendition"
The cast of this performance included:

Stubborn Coughs
Ended by Recipe,
Mixed at Home

Here is the famous old recipe which
millions of housewives have found to
be the most dependable means of break
ing up stubborn coughs due to colds. 1t
takes but a moment to prepare, costs
little, and saves money, but il gives real
relief even for those dreaded coughs
that follow. severe cold epidemics.
From any druggist, get 212 ounces Of
Pinex, pour it into pint bottle and fill
the bottle with plain graduated sugar
syrup or strained honey. Thus you make
full pint of better remedy than you
could buy ready-made for three times
the cost. 1t never spoils and tastes so
good that even children like it.
Not only does this simple mixture
soothe the infamed throat membranes
with surprising ease, but also it is abb
sorbed into the blood, and acts directly
upon the bronchial tubes, thus aiding
the whole system in throwing off the
cough. 1t loosebs the germ-lsden
phlegm and eases chest soreness in
way that is really astonishing.
Pinex is q highly concentrated COM
pound of Norway Pine, containing the
active agent Of creosote, in a refined,
palatable form. Nothing known in
medicine is more helpful in cases of
severe coughs and bronchial irritations.
Do not accept a substitute for Pinex.
It is guaranteed to give prompt relief
or money refunded.

Ira Barton Accused of Part
in Robbery of Dun
kirk Bank.
By United Press

d. O7Ltt6U ETeSS
PORTLAND, Ind, Feb. "a for
mer sheriff who is alleged to have
planned bank robberies in eastern
and northern Indiana, faced trial
today in Jay circuit court here.
The defendant, Ira Barton, for
merly chief law enforcement officer
of Blackford county, is charged with
bank robbery and as accessory be-
fore the fact in connection with the
Christmas eve robbery of the Dun
kirk state bank. Trial was scheduled
to be held before Judge Frink Gill
lispie and jury of residents of the
Dunkirk territory.
Difficulty in selecting jury was
anticipated due to the publicity
given Barton's arrest three days
after Lorenz Capelli, Frank Valen-
tino and Albert Frobatta, all of
Chicago Heights, Ill.,, had allegedly
confessed to participating in bank
robberies and named Barton as the
"fixer."
The trio is said to have confessed
that Barton promised protection
when they robbed banks in the
county of which he was sheriff.
Dunkirk, however, lies partly in Jay
county and Barton assertedly was
unable to assist the men after their
arrest. According to the reputed
confessions, the former sheriff met
with the three to plan the robberies
and gave them Indiana license
plates for their automobile.
Barton also faces bank robbery
charges in connection with the rob-
berry Of the Citizens State bank in
Hartford City, July 8, 1881.
Barton asserts he is innocent of
the charges and asserts that he was
framed"
More than $50 witnesses aill be
summoned to testify in the trial, at
torneys said today. Included on the
list are Frabatta, Valentino and
Capelli, each serving twenty-year
sentences in the state reformatory

daily in its twenty state charitable
and correctional institutions during
1881 at a cost for the year of &c.
929, 1928, it was disclosed in a re-
port today by Secretary John A.
Brown of the state charities board.
The amount was divided between
SIS, 418, 463.45 fer maintenance and
$3.50, 699.08 for land, buildings and

Maintenance increase was $4,000,
but the daily average attendance
for 1880 was but 1892. Average
expense an inmate in 1881 was
$3.50 IA and $302.14 in 1880.

1881 we're divided as follows:
Salaries and wages, $122.98; food,
$3.50; clothing, $13.51; repairs,
$21.41, and other items, chief of
which are heat, light and household
equipment, $7766. The total OF

CCOUTS and spies for the oppo-
~ sition to Paul V. McNutt, can
didate for the Democratic nominal
ton for Governor, must be carrying
home gloom tinged tales and reports
today.
For, from all accounts, the organ
ization meeting at the Antlers Sun
day was rip-roaring love feast of
the adherentS of the Indiana law
school dean.
Approximately 600 partisans, rep
resenting almost every county in. the
state. with the exception of Vigo,
which has its own candidate, Mayor
Wood Posey, were present at the
meeting. which was arranged to dis
cusS statewide organization of
'McNutt for Governor" Clubs.
If the demonstration accorded
McNutt was insincere, then the
Democratic party in Indiana har-
bors many who would make excel
lent thespians, because the we'll
known welkin was rung by the
cheering and applause.
All persiflage aside, two signifl-
cant happenings occurred which
indicate to no uncertain degree the
direction of the wind.
1t long has been declared that
the old guard in the party will be
found in opposition to the former
national commander of the legion
But this was diSproved conclu-
sively Sunday afternoon when Dale

editor, announced that all Madison
county'S As votes in the next con-
vention will be for McNutt.
Crittenberger was backed in this
statement by Harry Neff, the coun-
ty chairman.

VEHLINC'S TRIAL
FOR BRIBERY TO
OPEN TUESDAY
100 Prospective Jurors Are
Called TO Weigh Charges
Against Coroner.

With 100 prospective jurors sum-
moned, trial Of Coroner Fred w.

tatlon will open Tuesday morning
in criminal court before Fred C.
Cause, special judge.
Vehling is charged with soliciting
$3.50 from relatives of Benjamin
Stickel, 331 East Tenth street, who
died last March in his home from
gas fumes.
The coroner is alleged to have
threatened to return a suicide YER

death, unless he was paid the
money. Under the suicide verdict.
relatives would not have received
double indemnity, provided for in
insurance policies.
Venue Change Denied
Since his indictment Jan. 2.
VehlingS case has been marked
with series of court battles and
shifts of state and defense legal
operations.
1AC SIdGe luSb returned an IN
dlctment and then filed two affi-
davitS. Vehling is being tried on
the second affidavit.
Efforts of the defense to obtain
change of venue from the county
failed last week when Cause, for
mer supreme court judge, declared
he believed county residents knowl-
edge of the case would have no
bearing on the trials outcome.
Cause ordered the jury for trial
despite protests of defense counsel.
Defense Is Secret
Line Of battle to be followed by
the defense in efforts to defeat
the charges has been kept secret.
Eph Inman, Fred Barrett and
Thomas MCGEE are defending the
county official.
Prosecutor Herbert E. Wilson,
who will head the states case, said
the prosecution can be completed
in three days. Selection of a jury
is expected to take almost a week,
due to widespread publicity given
the case.
Evidence, which later was pre-
sented the grand jury, was uncov-
cred by The Times.

They TELL NE

A rousing cheer came when DR..
Carleton McCulloch, twice nominee
for Governor, pledged his support,
and that means the old timers in
Indianapolis.
Three emisSarieS from William
H. O'Brien of Lawrenceburg, one
time state auditor, and an out
standing party leader, appeared
to pledge his support of McNutt.
But that isn't ala message was
received from Uncle" Joe Cravens
Of Madison, who occupies an almost
unequaled position in his party
declaring that he also would be
found in the. McNutt ranks.
II
Significance of the O'Brien and
Cravens stand is the effect it will
have upon the fight against R. Earl
Peters for reelection as state
chairman.
Both of these men reside in the
old Fourth, now in the new Ninth.
and Joseph w. Verbarg, of North
fkAAAOAA VIC SA4ON4 AO1 C11duU ldt1 Is one
of the opposition to Peters. He has
in the past been backed by Cravens
and O'Brien, but if these two are
for McNutt. it may change the
picture,
There can be little doubt that the
McNutt candidacy is bound up
with the fight of Peters for re-
election and that the pledges should
mean that every one, now seeing
the handwriting on the wall, is in
dicating a willingness to go straight
down the line for the pair.
On the other hand, the anti
Peters group is now willing to con-
cede the nomination of McNutt and
get on the band wagon, but may be
preparing to continue its fight on
| the chairman.
