WHEAT OPENS LOWER AS MARKET OPENS
CHICAGO,' Jan. 22. Disappointing cables led to some selling at the start on the board ot trade, and prices in wheat were c lower. Orders later absorbed the offerings and made recovery rapidly. Corn was c lower on an easy market due to colder weather, and the wheat cash situation. It took little selling to force values down. Trading in oats was fair. The tone was firm. Strength in hogs and sjnaller receipts advanced provisions.

COUNTY DELAYS FILLING PLACES BY APPOINTMENT
County appointments were delayed again today by the county commissioners although all the members of the board were nresent and gave no
reason for Hot making the appoint
ments. v---The appointments should have been
made at the first meeting of the new year as the terms of office of eleven county employes expired at the close
of last year. These employes have been holding over until their successors are appointed and all of them are
candidates for re-appointment.
The meaning of the delay is not
known although it is generally pre
sumed that the members of the board
are having trouble in reaching a decision regarding some of the more important 'appointments because of the relation it might have on politics. Gus
tavo Hoelscher. county attorney, is a candidate for re-appointment and it is
generally believed by the other county officials that he will receive the posi
tion. There is no question about the
aDnointment of W. O. Jones, as coun
ty road superintendent. " Although
charges had been made by the Oc
tober term of grand jury against Mrs.
Aurelia Thomas, matron of the Home for the Friendless, it Is generally be
lieved, that she will be reappointed.

LINDSAY FROZE AT PENAL FARM
On a charge of public intoxication and previous convictions, Ed Lindsay
was today fined $50 and costs and sen tenced to thirty days in county jail
He was only released from the state
penal farm in Putnam county last
Wednesday. Lindsay was tickled to death because he was not returned to that institution. He made his usual
perfunctory plea to leave the city for
ever if given "one more chance.
Lindsay said he almost froze to death at the penal farm. "Just one stove in each sleeping shed and the sheds are each 400 feet long,' he said. "The floors of these sheds are also raised above the ground a couple of feet and the way the wind howls, under the flooring is fierce. I slept every night with my shoes on. The farm is also a sea of mud but the food is plentiful and wholesome. I am mighty glad I don't have to go back there."
LLER GETS WAGES UNDER LABOR LAWS
The state board having charge of the employers' liability cases reported today th&t th rinni.nf Rloa Xtli.
ler had been granted. Miller lost two
toes irom nis tight foot when a log fell on him October 29 while working for the Kramer Lumber company. He was being paid $2 a day for his labor In addition to pay for the team. The board allowed him 65 per cent of his wages without taking into consideration the pay for his team. He will receive this per cent of his salary for thirty weeks, according to the board's ruling. The hearing, was recently held in the circuit court room before a representative from the state commission..
WILLIAM KEEVER DIES I Kit !G TO ADDRESS
"NOTHING DOING" DECLARES BECK
Patrons of the twelve rural routes In Wayne county at the end of the first week of service under the redistricted routes say the mail deliveries are almost as irregular as under the service installed the first of this month. , Two postal inspectors rushed to Richmond to re-arrange the twelve motor served routes following the roar of protest which went up shortly after January 1 because of the complete cot lapse of the new system. Under the system installed by these two inspectors last Monday some of the routes were shortened a little, the mileage of a few increased and a short wagon route out of Boston provided, but at the close of the week the Richmond post office was still being bombarded with complaints by dissatisfied farmers. - It is understood that the postal authorities now realize that the present number of rural routes, even with motor service is entirely inadequate to serve such a large territory. Postmaster peck worked today in his shirtsleeves in his office, behind locked doors, denying himself to reporters. "Nothing doing, not a thing,"
he called out after unlocking his of
fice door in answer to the thumpings of a newspaper man.
THAWS MAKE ROADS ALMOST IMPASSABLE
Roads of the county are in a worse condition today than they have been for. years, according to tanners. Because of the thawing ground, some portions of the roads are practically impassable. "This condition will only last several days," said Road Superintendent Jones day. "It will not take over a week to get them in good condition in the spring. Because of the gravel that baa been placed on the roads it will be an easy matter to work them up again with the first touch of good weather."
There are 8,817,271 persons in the United States whose mother tongue is. German.
GARRANZA PROMISES LAND TO MEXICANS
INSURANCE SOCIETY HOLDS 5,700 POLICIES

Reports will show that the association carries 5,700 policies with insurance in excess of $10,000,000. The public is invited to attend the meeting.
COUNTY TO DEMAND FULL POOR REPORTS
. Alleged loose methods of many of the township trustees in handling poor accounts were severely criticised by the county commissioners this morning and a ruling made that hereafte every township trustee must comply strictly with the law in making their reports A resolution was adopted by the commissioners which will be sent to every township trustee demanding that poor reports be submitted tq the board at least five days before the time for the board to consider them. This gives a chance, the commissioners explained, for the taxpayers to know exactly what is being spent in every township as well as affording .the commissioners an opportunity of making an examination.
QUERETARO, Mex., Jan. 22. ChiefExecutive Carranza today took the first step toward solving the land problem of Mexico, the cause of many revolutions, by appointing a national aggrarian commission. This commission is to meet at once and draft a decree for the distribution of community lands, public and federal land and timber rights. Six months at least will be required by the commission to complete its work. The members of the committee appointed by Carranza number nine and are headed by Senor Rioux, who will serve as president of the commission. All of the government ministries are entitled to a member on the commission and each state and territory may have a representative in the body. To meet the preliminary expenses of the commission $40,000 has been appropriated. POSTPONE BUSINESS
The inclement weather prevented a large attendance at the meeting of the centennial committee last evening and it was decided to postpone all business action until next Friday. Regular meetings will be held hereafter every Friday evening. The committee last evening had under consideration names for additional committees to have charge of the work in other parts of the county, but no definite action was taken.
UNIONS PLEDGE
Continued From Page One. boring men have really been given a voice and the real conditions exposed," said Mr. Strayer. "The work of the commission is to be commended and what is more,, it should be pushed forward by every laboring man in the country, who should see to it that his congressmen line up Mith the movement." "Publicity, education and legislation are the three principal lines along which this work can be promoted," said Mr. Harrison in explaining the Manly report. "The responsibility of remedying labor conditions lies with the workers themselves." '

PROPOSE TV0 PLANS FOR BUILDING SPAN
ADD ANOTHER BRIDGE
Another bridge may have to be added to the list for which appropriations will be made by the county commissioners within the next few weeks. At Locust Grove, on the line between Henry and Wayne counties, the commissioners of Wayne county have been asked by the commissioners of Henry county to build the bridge. Half of the expense of the bridge will be met by Henry county but it is probable that all negotiations will be made through the Wayne county officials and the contract will be let here. The bridge will cost approximately $5,700.
-Two proposed bridge plans were considered by 20 committee officers of the Citizens' committee at a luncheon in the Y. M. C. A. at noon today. The first of these was a level bridge extending from West Third street to a point on Main street opposite the north door of the court house. The second was a bridge beginning at Third street and with a slight elevation and slight decline to the same level at the west end of the bridge. Either one meant the lowering of the C. & O. railroad bridge, eleven feet It was suggested that all committeemen visit the site of the bridge in automobiles to obtain a mental picture of the place. The heads of the various committees and the executive committee will meet at the Commercial club rooms at 7 o'clock Thursday night
