ing in Municipal court pleaded not
guilty of trespassing charges.
Railroad law enforcement officers
claimed that by passing out CIO lit
erature at the east gate of The Ohio

Urge Farmers To Buy
Stored Wheat

Officials of the Putnam county
AAA committee urged Putnam coun-
ty farmers to purchase government
owned wheat from the over-normal
granary for feed purposes.
Congress has provided for the
sale of 125 million bushels of wheat
from the granary for feed purposes
and has set the price at not less

for corn. This will enable farmers
to buy economical feed for livestock
and at the same time prevent the
loss of new wheat because of a lack
