A reader of the Adams County Witness and The Daily Democrat writes to ask why the Herne paper shows that the wheat market in Decatur is SI.OO per bushel and $1.15 in Berne, while the quotation in Decatur has been $1.12 for some time. The paper also quotes Monroe at $1.05. The indications are that the Berne paper is purposely misrepresenting the; markets, says the “fair play” writer.

Jack Johnson Asks For Another Chance New York, Nov. 6. —With the optimistic, care free attitude that has always been characteristic of him, Jack Johnson, former world's heavyweight champion, still hopes that he will get i a break in his favor and will be allowed to return to the ring. No matter if he is alone in thinking so, Big Jack firmly believes he has a lot left and that he could work up to another chance for the title. Ho lias been working out daily in I the gymnasium at Madison Square ' Garden and sounding out the boxing i commission preparatory to making an . application for a license. Unless tlie commission deems it a 'good political move to reverse itself Johnson cannot be granted a license as long as the present rule establish ing thirty-eight years as the age limit for boxers remains on the book. Tips rule was enacted as a direct ■move to prevent Johnson and Jos? | Willard from boxing in New York. Johnson admits “about forty-two . years” but some ring followers, who !have known him a long time, think h< !is even older. The former champion weighs around 230 pounds. He is at the agi I now where flesh is removed only wit! a great deal of labor and as he is sail to be well fixed financially, it is not clear why he should choose the tedium of hard training to get back in shape Johnson claims that ho can beat Harry Wills or any others of tin heavyweight contender class. Perhaps he could. He did not show any toe much in his training however. Tar zan Larkin, no better than a tenth rater, worked out witli him recently and Jack quiet after three rounds, breathing hard through cut and swol lon lips. In its attitude on the Johnson case, i the boxing commission is in a ticklish | position. It has to listen to argument? 'that the return of the former chain pion would not be a good thing for boxing and at the same time to avoid the chance of accusations that it was not giving him a square deal. Regardless of what Johnson has done in tlie past, ho has been very | well behaved since he left Leaven worth. He paid his debt there for hi indescretioHs of the past and right down to the fine point it must be ad mitted that ho is square now. Although it was generally believed that he was broke when ho came back

ito the United Stnteß and surrendered! Ito the federal authorities, Johnson! shows no signs of being in need oi l money. Ho still dresses like a fashion plate and drives around in a high priced car. Ho spends u lot of money and apparently earns n lot. He was do- | Ing theatrical work for a while at SI,OOO a week but the show closed and nt the present time ho is “out of work.” While ho did much to draw censure on him, there wore always some admirable traits about Johnson. Those who were not inclined to be prejudiced always agreed that Jack was made the victim of bad friends and poor advice. o— CARD OF THANKS I wish to thank the voters of Monroe township who gave mo their support in this election and I through my appreciation will try to conduct the affairs of the township for the best interest of the tapayers and the people and wish to state further that 1 will not work for the interest of one. two or three but will be for the inter cst of Monroe township.

Indiana In Intersectional Contest Next Saturday Bloomington, Ind., Nov. 9.—lntersectional flavor will be added to the Indiana University football program next Saturday when the Cream and Crimson eleven meets the powerful l West Virginia team at Bloomington. The mountaineers during the past two years under the tutelage of Dr. C. W. Spears, former Dartmouth men-1 tor, have gained for themselves an enviable record. West Virginia foot-! ball followers claim they have a team this year superior to their great 1919 aggregation which triumphed over Princeton 20 to 0. The mountaineers have piled up a total of 152 points in six games so far tills season to their opponents’ 21 points. Only three times has the mountaineer goal been crossed, once by Pittsburgh and twice by Washington &. Lee. Pittsburgh suffered defeat 9 to 6, while Washington & Lee tied the Virginians. West Virginia Wesleyan is the only other team which has scored against West Virginia this season and then only with a field goal, while the mountainers were gathering 20 points. The game will be the big home game of the season for Pat Herron’s Hoosier eleven and will lie the occasion for the annual homecoming and Armistice day celebrations. Hundreds of alumni are expected in Bloomington Friday, for the opening festivities of the homecoming. Advance seat reservations for the game have been coming in for the past two weeks and indications are that its intersectumal character will make it draw a capacity crowd to Jordan field. o ■ Big-Type Hogs Favorites Says New U. S. Bulletin There is no “best” breed of swine, but within the different breeds the “big-type” hog is now finding most favor in nearly all parts of the counry, says the United States department of agriculture in a recent fartiers' bulletin. 1263, breeds of swine, by E. Z. Russell. The bulletin, which s well illustrated with photographs if specimens of all the leading breeds ind of some minor ones, gives a brief ustory of the origin of all the breeds iow found in the United States, description of their characteristics, and •lames of the record associations, with tames and addresses of the secretaries. The usual classification under lard ind bacon types is given. The breeds ncluded under the first are the Duroclersey, Poland China, Chester White, Berkshire, Hampshire and Spotted Poland China. The Tamworth and the Yorkshire are the only breeds of the bacon type grown to any extent in this country and are the only ones includ'd. The minor breeds given a place n tho bulletin are the Mule-Foot, Large Black, Kentucky Red Berkshire, Cheshire, Essex and Victoria. The big-type animals, says the author, are found in all breeds, but are more numerous in some breeds than in others. Owing to an increasing demand for cured hams and bacon -if high quality, the type of hog becomes a matter of much importance. Hams weighing from 12 to 16 pounds are more likely to cure with high quality and flavor than lighter or heavier pieces. Neither hams nor bacon should carry excessive quantities of fat, but should be “well marbled.” The opportunity for producing meat of tin's character is greater in the quickly grown big-type hog than in the distinctly small-type. The most profitable hog is the one that can be grown to the required market weight
