Washington, D. C., Dec. 18. Under the terms of an agreement announced today by the attorney general the packers relinquish and within two years must divest themselves of all ownership and control of stock yards, terminal railroads, and cold storage except for meat, and cease the packing and marketing of fish, fruits, and other foods, leaving their enterprises limited to the production of meat and by-prod-ucts and dealing in poultry, butter, eggs, cheese, and condensed milk. - o— ■■ By a vote of 46 to 25 the senate decided to retain the anti-strike provisions of the Cummins railroad bill. Prospects are that this action will lead to long controversy between the senate and the house, which rejected the anti-strike proposal by an overwhelming majority. —o— That Surgeon General Blue of the public health service has taken three conflicting positions on the Chicago Speedway hospital project during the last ten months was asserted by W.

METHODISTS ENJOY WOOD SAWING.

The days of the old time husking bee have passed, but the forty men of the Trinity Methodist church of this city who assisted in helping to saw some twenty-five cords of wood Thursday had a very enjoyable time. One of the very pleasant features of the occasion was the ■ fine dinner prepared by the good women of the church under the direction of Mrs. Ben D. McColly. There was yellow chickens’ legs, country sausage and a most bounteous supply of other good things to eat. The wood was sawed and stored away in the basement of the church and not one good Methodist brother or sister threatened to strike. The church now has a supply of fuel for the remainder of the winter and two cords of the very choice of the wood was provided for the use’of the parsonage. The committee which had charge of this good work consisted of George M. Myres, Edward Herath and Samuel Roth. The wood was donated by Comrade Harvey Wood.

He is feeling somewhat' better. However, his southern trip was rather a costly one and he lost nearly everything but his reputation. On the tnp going down he lost his suitcase, which contained all of his extra wearing apparel, and coming back he stood in the station al Kansas City and watched his train pull out with his fine new overcoat—and it s rather chilly here in Indiana -this time of year to be without an overcoat. •• .

WORLD MOVES TOO FAST TO BE HAPPY.

Quick transit and high civilisation are getting the blame for the world's present troubles. Moss Morris. who is said to be the oldest man in London and will soon reach the century mark, has placed the blame thus: “There were fewer opportunities for doing wrong- and people were Sier fifty years ago. It is this powered* civilization, with its swift trains,,, buses and tramp, its multitude of restaurants, its graving for luxuries and change, that makes' a hothouse for trouble of all sorts to grow in. ‘Teople could not get about to see other people when I was young as they do now. They were more content with their home®.”

Friday’s local grain market was as follows: Oats, 78c; corn, *1.85; rye, *1.55; wheat, *2.25 to *2.19. The poeket book advertised as found by Deacon Holister was the property of Miss Carrie Eger.
