No sooner had the ex-service men assembled than they were lined up for chow. As in army days, each man was given a mess kit and filing past the kitchen each kit was loaded with beef stew, bread and butter and apple sauce. Coffee was served in canteens. An army cook from Fort Benjamin Harrison was brought to Greenfield to prepare the food. To make the meal appear more realistic of army days tables were lacking and each man was required to find his own place to eat.

At the conclusion of the meal each man was required to wash his own kit. Following the dinner play money was passed out and various games and contests were started. A sharp warning pierced the calmness of the group which was enjoying cards and various contests when a siren was sounded announcing an air raid. Lights were flashed out and various guns sputtered fire over the building. Merriment rang through the hall until a late hour.

It was one ot the most novel and entertaining celebrations the Legion has experienced in a number of years. Colonel Robinson, commanding officer of the 11th infantry at Fort Benjamin Harrison, was a guest of the post and spoke briefly during the State Work Will Replace Federal Bureau March 31 Indianapolis, March 23 Plans for operation of the new work division of the governor's commission on unemployment relief, which will supplant the Civil Works Administration in cities of more than 5,000 population and in certain industrial areas after March 31, were announced today at a meeting of the executive committee of the commission. The plans were based upon an outline policy received from the Federal Emergency Relief Commission, which will provide funds for the division. This work program will offer employment to needy unemployed persons who are able to work in the urban and industrial sections of the state. It was specified in the instructions from the Federal Commission that the projects "shall be on the highest social value, planned to be of the greatest efficiency and the greatest benefit to the community or states." On Basis of Need-All projects shall be undertaken on contract for which annual appropriation has been made, and must be part from the normal government enterprises.

Workers to be employed are to be selected on the basis of need, which will be determined by investigation by the staff of the social welfare department of the commission. Employment in the work division will be not less than fifty-tour hours in a month, or less than three days in any one week. Budget For Each-Persons who do not need that amount of- work for proper support ot themselves and their families, as determined by the budget for each family set up by the staff investigators, will receive direct relief instead of being employed. The announcement says: "Workers will be expected to work at proper efficiency on the job. If they are unable or unwilling to do so, they will be transferred to some job, or if no job can be found for them which they can do well, they will be dropped from the work divisions, and returned to direct relief." At the beginning of the program the work projects will be classified in six general fields of activity, according to the outline received from the federal commission.

These fields are planning, public games have been carded. Coach Brat- ton will divide his time oetween ooaen-ing baseball and track. Coach Bralton has several experienced men available this spring for both track and baseball. Baseball was played last fall, and the squad is already organized and ready to begin spring practice. In track Jacque Culley is probably the outstanding man, Culley was high point man in practically every meet he participated in last spring, and he placed in both the sectional and state meets, held at Indianapolis.

Indiana Will Be Out of Debt June 30 Governor McNutt is not such a bad Governor as the Republicans would have you believe he is when he will have Indiana out of the Red June 30. The following telegram from Indianapolis says: Prediction that the close of the fiscal year, June 30, would find the state government "out of the red" and with a balanced budget was made by Governor McNutt today, when he summoned department heads for a conference and asked "better team work." Governor McNutt issued an ultimatum to department heads that they must not exceed their budgets by any one month in the year. Committee Named A committee was appointed to see that a system of budget audit and control which has been tried out in the adjutant general's office was inaugurated in all departments.

Members of the committee named by Governor McNutt are Virgil Simmons, director of the conservation department; Paul Fry, state excise director, and Floyd Williamson, auditor of state. "We want a constant budget control so that each month we may know how every department stands, ami be assured that it will not come up with a big deficit at the end of the year," Governor McNutt said.

Mrs. Amanda Ballinger Contracts To Feed Prisoners at Jail Mrs. Amanda Ballinger has entered into a contract with members of the Hancock county board of commissioners to feed prisoners at the county jail beginning April 1.

Such action was taken by the board of commissioners after a letter was received by County Auditor Donald Hilt from the state hoard of accounts which stated that Indiana sheriffs could no longer draw a fee for feed' ing prisoners. Up to the present time Indiana sheriffs were given twenty cents per meal for feeding prisoners. Legislation last year abolished the fees of county sheriffs. A recent interpretation by Attorney General Lutz was to the effect that sheriffs could not receive a fee for feeding prisoners but the county commissioners had a right to contract with an individual for such service. The new ruling will have little effect here.

Mrs. Ballinger has assisted in feeding prisoners at the county jail since Sheriff Frank Stottlemyer took office more than three years ago. She will receive tweuty cents per meal per person, the same rate which has prevailed in the past. Under the law the county commissioners could have contracted for groceries and hired some person to prepare and serve the food. However, under this plan county authorities have no way of knowing how many prisoners will be in jail at any certain period.

The commissioners would had to buy kitchen equipment and dishes under the latter plan as all furniture, stoves, kitchen utensils and dishes furnished by the Sheriff and not by the county. Marriage Licenses Issued Charles J. Horning and Mary J. Sta-ton. Nicholas Nahas and Iona Wainscott.

Can Not Harvest Beans on Contract Ground Soy beans can not be harvested from contracted acreages, according to word from officials of the corn hog reduction program.

There seems to be misunderstanding in the minds of many farmers in regard to this. If soy beans are planted, they must be plowed under instead of harvested. Measuring of contracted ground is well under way. Farmers who have contracted acreage may help in speeding up the work by staking off the ground, using stakes two and one-half inches in diameter.
