The federal act organizing the territory was passed on May 7, 1800, and William Henry Harrison was appointed governor on May 13 of that year.

The federal act became effective on July 4, 1800. Citizens of Indiana should not delay too long in formulating plans for an appropriate observance of this historical event. There will be numerous questions to decide as to the scope and character of the observance as well as the most appropriate time for staging the event. Whether the observance is eventually planned by individual counties or on a statewide basis, there's one element that must be given foremost consideration in all plans for the sesquicentennial. The observance must be staged in such a manner as to reflect credit upon Indiana, the various programs being in keeping with the fine traditions of the Hoosier State.

The sesquicentennial offers Indiana a great opportunity to present the fine contribution which the Hoosier state has made to the nation through'blending the cultural values of Indiana with a historical panorama of Hoosier progress from the pioneer days to the present era. The observance should be planned so that the sesquicentennial will heighten appreciation of Indiana and her institutions. Any other type of celebration would be unworthy of Indiana. HYBRID SEED PROVE WORTH THIS SUMMER If the corn crop in Decatur county and this section of Indiana matures this fall, credit must be given in large measure to the almost universal use of hybrid seed corn. The present summer has probably been the most difficult in many decades for corn growers, owing to the wet weather which delayed spring planting.

As late as the middle of July the corn had scarcely begun to grow and at that time it appeared that the crop might prove a complete failure. While a normal corn crop can scarcely be expected amid such adverse conditions, it remains possible for many farmers to have fair yields, if frost is delayed in the fall. Corn is essentially a tropical plant, which thrives in hot weather coupled with adequate rainfall. Recent hot days and nights may have been difficult for people to stand but they have certainly improved the prospects for the corn crop. But there would have been no chance whatsoever of any corn under such adverse conditions had not hybrid seed corn been planted.

Through the use of hybrids the period required for the corn to mature has been reduced several weeks and this saving of time has been invaluable to farmers this season. Corn is the foremost agricultural commodity raised in Decatur county and is invaluable in the extensive feeding of livestock so widely practiced here. Hence, the development of hybrid seed corn has proved a boon to the economic life of Decatur county and much of Indiana. President Of Ecuador Out Velasco Ibarra Deposed By Coup Second Time (By International News Service 1 Quto, Ecuador, Aug. President Jose Maria Velasco Ibarra of Ecuador found sanctuary in Colombia today after being deposed by a military coujj for the second time in his career.

Velasco, accompanied by his Argentine-born wife and his staff, arrived by plane at Cali, in southwest Colombia, from Col. Carlos Ecuadorian "strong proclaimed himself chief of state. in flight Mancheno, man" who provisional (Members of Velasco's staff at the Hotel Alferez in Cali said he will remain in the city for an indefinite period. They said he refused to make any statement.) Mancheno, who engineered the almost bloodless coup, declared in a communique that it was necessitated by Velasco's attempt to transfer his powers to Vice-President Mariano Suatez Veintimilla. This, said Maneheno; minister of defense in- Velasco's government would have meant perpetuating the Conservative party in power.

His communique also noted, previous disagreements between himself and Velasco. It was the second time that, Velasco had been ousted by a military Junta, this first occasion coming less than a year after he was named for his first term in 1934. The transfer of 'power was carried out without excitement and caught most citizens of Quito by surprise. Mancheno told in his com- munique that Saturday night a group of army officers led by a Maj. Banquero went to the presidential palace, confronted Velasco and demanded that he resign.

Mancheno said that at first the president refused and "there were some automatic pistol shots, as a consequence of which two soldiers were wounded." Finally Velasco "acceded to the petition" and signed his resignation. Manchena said Velasco's resignation was necessary to "benefit of the republic's peace and to facilitate the task of putting the nation on the road to justice and freedom." Velasco was confined overnight in the barracks of a tank regiment, later leaving for Colombia.

Downey called for a more liberal immigration policy. He said: "In view of our declining birth rate, we should be encouraging immigrants to come in instead of restricting them.

He also will ask the dominions to agree on accepting a limited amount of goods to conserve Britain's scarce dollars. The cabinet is expected to hear a report on the recent Washington conference on easing terms of the American loan from Sir Wilfrid Eady, Britain's chief negotiator in the United States. Prior to the meeting Eady is scheduled to confer with Chancellor of the Exchequer Hugh Dalton.

Sir Wilfrid probably will describe how the United States government regards Britain's present financial plight. The cabinet is then expected to give its negotiator new instructions for his return to Washington. The cabinet, it is believed, will decide on further slashes of American imports, necessitating probably more belt-tightening by the British people.
