By CHitcd Press
WASHINGTON, Aug. 28.-General
Hugh S. Johnson's frequent COM
plants that he could not afford to
sacrifice his private business earn
ing capacity for government service
have won him a pay boost from
$4,000 to $4,000 a year as MIRA
administrator.
Recovery administration officials
revealed today that General john
sons salary was increased July by
order of President Roosevelt.
General Johnson repeatedly has
remarked upon the comparatively
small salary he received from the
government and predicted that when
he returned to private business he
would earn 100000 a year again"
The Presidents action was re-
garded as additional evidence Of his
desire to have General Johnson
continue to administer the recov-
cry organization throughout its
transitory period and while legis-

Pollution of Patoka river is being
checked under conservation depart

water in creeks. branches and drain
age bitches connecting with the
river.
The conservation department will
erect earthen dams across the open

RELAY QUOTA is
liked BY STATE
Indiana'S Share viii Be 40
Per Cent HenCefOrth,
Says Coy.

In accordance with an edict of the
federal relief heads, Indiana will
contribute 40 per cent of the money
needed for unemployment relief in
the state during the winter and all
of 1885, Wayne Coy, director of the
Governors commission on unem-
ployment relief announced today.
The remaining 60 per cent will be
contributed by the federal govern
ment.
Although Indiana has been bear
ing slightly less than 40 per cent of
the relief load. it is the plan of the
state to raise it TO the 40 per cent
figure for 1885, Mr.. Coy said.
He said that the federal govern
ment now is sending about $780,
600 a month into Indiana for relief
while the state is providing another
million. Until recently the figures
we're much smaller, but an increase
was made in keeping with the states
desire to put as many men on re-
lief work as possible.
IN Order Jnat INDIANA may pay
part of the relief bill, we have esti-
mated the amount each county will
receive during the next year from
the FERA and the amount that
must be raised by the counties
themselves" Mr.. Coy said. The
counties have been told that they
may raise their share by two
methods-either by a tax levy or by
issuance of judgment refunding
bonds"
Most of the counties will raise the
money by taxation, Mr.. Coy said,
There are about $4,000 families on
relief in Indiana. About $4,000 per-
sons of this total are on work relief
and the others receive district poor
relief.

St Paul, (UP)--The KothschiIds bnd banks. the Rockefellers oil well, the Astors real cstate---but tho Figges. father. son and grand son. have secret formula for brewing beer.
 Brewmaster Christian tiggc, short, fat, jolly. came from Ger many in 1888 to watch the copper brewing vats. the ageIng cellars and the bubbllnR amber beer in ono of inc couDtry's larger brew cries here.
 Ills lager beer was his pride and joy. He had patriarchial instincts. So IS years before he retired he trained his son. William FIgge, in the art of brewing by the secret family formula. That was in 1891.
 To-day. 43 years later. William IOath Co let the formula out of the family. is training William, Jr, his son. to be a brewmaster.
 The last two FIgges, in contras; to Grandfather Figge, are tall, thin. serious minded. They look more like scientIBts. but they still have the family touch.
 But with all the scientific ar that surrounds the modern brew cry. William still has old fashioned ideas.
 "The art of brewing hasn't changed" he said. ''ft's inc age. Ing that counts. You cant do that scientifically"
