Size of Hippopotamus

The hippo, as must people know,
is a huge aquatic animal. In fact,
it is the bulkiest quadruped there
is except the elephant. The hippo
might even outclass the elephant ex-
cept for the fact that his legs are
short. The average full-grown hip
pc is II to IA feet long; but it Is
only feet high-being very
"squatty." He will weigh a ton
or two.

1850. c. BUDGET
NEAR COMPLETION
Estimates to Be Sent to .Bu-
reau This Week by
City Heads.

The 1896 District budget is to be
completed this week by, the Commits
sioners and sent to the Budget Bu-
reau, en- route to Congress, where it
will have to pass through many hands
before reported to the House and
Senate for adoption.
Commissioner Melvin c. Hazen said
yesterday a statement on the Com
miSsionerS' proposals for the next ifs
cal year would be made public by
Maj. Daniel J. Donovan, District au-
ditor, when the bill is sent to the
Budget Bureau. 1t is expected this
statement will outline total appropri-
ations for the various operations Of
the District government, without re-
vealing detailed appropriation items.
In recent years not even this much
authentic information about the Com
missioners' budget has been made
public, although the practice was fol-
lowed for a time during the admin
istration of Col Charles Keller as
engineer commissioner.
Officials have declined to reveal the
total to which the Commissioners
have held the budget, but intimations
are that it will exceed the $35, All 900
appropriated for the present year.
One rumor is that the total will run
several million dollars higher than
this, but the Commissioners have
stated they were making every effort
to avoid any increase in taxes next
year.

their absence. He contends there Is
enough theory and that the endeavor
will be to develop advertising talent
for which there is always a place in
the world of publicity.
Leaders in advertising and its al
lied branches will address the class
from time to time, and visits will be
made to producing plants where the
students may see the mechanical side
of advertising in actual operation.

how the senator trend will be in
the state convention.
Another county where the dele
gates test will be watched closely is
Allen, of which Fl. Wayne is the
county seat and the home of former
state chairman Earl R. Peters.
The anti-Peters battle in his home
town is being waged by Sam Jack
son. whose name also may be
brought before the convention, if
there is the deadlock that many
political observers are predicting.
MI. Jackson is former Allen coun-
ty prosecuting attorney. He used to
be termed somewhat facetiouSly in
his younger days as the boy Ora
tor of the Maumee" because of his
forensic abilities.
Other counties which may be
counted as key counties in the dele
gates contest are Clay, CaSs, Car
roll, Greene, Morgan and Monroe.

Clay is the home county of

and Frank McHale, one of the Gov
ernor's closest advisers, halls from
Logansport in CaSs county. Gov
ernor McNutt and Frank Finney,

partment, are from Morgan county.
And while Governor McNutt will
vote here. he was dean of the In
diana university law school at
Bloomington in Monroe county and
logically might be expected to be

Peters supporters are hopeful of
capturing much delegate strength
in all of the counties in which the
state administration might be ex-
