MARKETS

SHORT RECEIPTS ACT TO HARDEN CORN CHICAGO, Jan. 23 Corn prices hardened today owing more or less to the fact that receipts were not proving as liberal as some traders bad ex pected. Complaints of car scarcity continued, notably from Central Illi nois, where it was said the elevators were full of corn, but that no cars had been supplied for two weeks. Op ening prices, which ranged from onefonrtb off to a like advance with March 124, and May 135 to 123 were followed by a moderate general upturn. Export bids at the highest basis on the crop gave strength to oats. After opening unchanged to 4 higher with May at 78 to 76, the market continued to advance. Provisions responded to an upturn In the value of hogs. Arrivals of hogs here were far short of what had bees predicted. GRAIN QUOTATIONS CHICAGO, Jan. 24.

MANY CHECKS GREET APPEAL FOR CHARITIES

Social Service Bureau Asks for $3,000 to Conduct Work for Year. In response to circular letters sent out Saturday for funds for the Social Service Bureau a number of checks have-been received. The Bureau expects to raise $3,000 to conduct the work for the remainder of the winter. The new secretary, Miss S. Ethel Clark, of Indianapolis, will arrive in Richmond early in February. The letter contains the following: Text of Letter The Social Service Bureau is again ready for work, and there is a big field for Its activities in this community. You may be familiar with its work in the past, but we want to give you a synopsis of its operations, and leave you to judge if it merits your assistance in the future. Its functions have been the distribution of charitable relief, the care of dependent and delinquent children, baby welfare work, the elimination of professional begging, the establishment of a general dispensary, the securing of a tuberculosis hospital, the employment of a public health nurse, and other matters of civic betterment. The Bureau was instrumental in reducing the number of dependent children in the public institutions from 95 in 1915 to 28 in 1916, a decrease of 70 per cent. At an annual cost of $146.00 for each child, this meant a saving of $9,782.00 to the taxpayers. Dependent Total Reduced The number of dependent families was also greatly reduced through the investigations of the Bureau, and with the co-operation of the Township Trus tee, effecting a considerable additional saving to the taxpayers. Too much of the work of the Bureau a direct and tangible financial benefit cannot be traced, but which is reflected in a better and more wholesome community. - If you are interested in the continuation and extension of this civic and social work will you not duplicate your former contribution or increase it, if possible? The success of the Bureau depends largely upon the financial support of the citizens. We do not wish to make a personal solicitation, believing you will act just as conscientiously through this form of appeal. The Bureau is pleased to announce that it has secured Miss S. Ethel Clark of Indianapolis for General Secretary. Miss Clark has been connected with the Board of State Charities for the past nine years, and had had five years previous experience in this work. In her official position Miss Clark has traveled all over the State, thus placing her in touch with the various offi cials and institutions connected with social and charitable work. Thanking you for your co-operation. Leslie E. Hart. Samuel Fred. Jesse A. Wiechman. Mrs. John H. Johnson. Mrs. J. F. Hornaday. Finance Committee. Sand Hermit Takes ge in Icy Lake HAMMOND, i .

Kills Wife As His Father Did Mother 27 Years Ago DAYTON, O., Jan. 24 Under circumstances similar , in every respect to those under which his father shot and killed his mother, and then became the , victim of his own hand. 27 years ago, Sam E. . Geist,. 42 years old, fatally shot his divorced wife, Eva Finfrock Geistr50, at' her rooming house 551 West Third street, at 6 o'clock last night, and then turned the revolver upon himself, dying instantly. . The reports of three shots brought D. D. Wells and D. Lloyd,- roomers at the bouse to the scene where they found both bodies in the hall. They called the police immediately. When policemen Firestine and Horne arrived, they found the front door locked. Gaining entrance through Wells rooms in the rear of the house they went to the front hall finding a candle which the woman had carried lying on the floor by her body, the flame having caught the collar of her dress. After extinguishing the candle they turned their attention to the man

whom they found dead in a unique position. After shooting the woman twice, once in the left eye and the second bullet taking effect in the right cheek, he had evidently knelt over her body to see if she were dead before turning the gun upon his right temple. . As he fell backward in the kneeling position his left arm flung itself behind him, bracing against the floor and supporting the body in an angular position. The revolver of .32 caliber was found half concealed by the woman's body where it had been flung from a nerveless hand. PURDUE UNIT LEADS WAY ALLENTOWN, Pa., Jan. 24.

FARMERS CANT SHIP OUT HOGS

Wayne county farmers and stock buyers are losing money on hogs because of the lack of facilities to ship . them to the markets. Owing to the lack of box cars, the railroads are unable to handle live stock that is to be shipped to the markets. This kind of weather when hogs cannot be turned out and must be fed to keep them in condition, it is proving an expensive proposition to the . farmers. To make matters worse many large stock feeders are running short of corn. However, the Transportation serv ice company will aid in solving the problem of moving the stock to Indianapolis and Cincinnati markets as soon as, the roads are in condition for the trucks to be used. Many farmers of the county are taking advantage of this possible way out of the difficulty. Perfectly Simple. "Everyone goes to sleep during his sermons.7 "I don't." "How ever do you stay awake?" "Don't go to church. TRUSTEE'S REPORT. The Township Trustee's annual report to the Advisory Board of Clay township, Wayne county, Indiana, January, 1918. RECEIPTS. Jan. 2, First Natl.
