oca! E. W. WAQNEh & CO.'S REVIEW CHICAGO, Jan. 25. Locals say corn values are down to stay. New York says ten million already need Jobs. United States rail situation Is bearish on U. S. trade. Corn trading was enormous Friday. Looks as though the corn belt has given up and hedging. Locals figure $1 wheat coming fast. Packers ask continuation of 17c hog price; food leaders, however, are up against public opinion. Hoover's Ideas now broadly criticized. Corn belt may have to sell at even lower prices or face public disfavor. Campaign on against present huge profits and prices. United States iwants 75c corn and must get back on jits feet. Michael says Jan. 24 liquidajlron was more general and far more reaching than since war started, also tnost traders look for lower prices. ft is reported there Is no agreement with Allies for 1919 U.

WEST MANCHESTER INSTITUTE DRAWS CROWD OF FARMERS

By WILLIAM R. SANBORN. WEST MANCHESTER, O., Jan. 25 After thinking it over we have decided that Postmaster J. B. Trone of West Manchester, 0 has "the habit" What habit? Why the habit of being postmaster, which isn't such a bad habit, it being one to which nobody objects, unless it may be some one who wouldn't mind handing out mail at this point Mr. Trone began forming this habit during the Cleveland incumbency, back in 1885. He was appointed again In 1893, and after being an. ex-postmaster for several years, climbed over the top the third time in 1914, and is holding on at this writing. Wouldn't wonder if Mr. Trona is a Democrat Looks that way, doesn't it? Well, regardless of political preferences, you can - get all the ' letters coming to you at West Manchester, and the office handles a lot of mail at this point. For instance, the rural route out of here Is a fraction over 26 miles long and there are 134 boxes to be filled daily for the benefit of 546 patrons. Joseph W. Minnich does the daily pleasure riding over this stretch of country road and gives all comers a letter, if they really need one. Monroe Township Institute. The Monroe Township Farmers' Institute met here in its fifteenth annual session on Friday morning in the opera hal lof the Odd Fellows' building. The hall was comfortably filled at 10 o'cock when J. A. Hummon of West Leipsic, O., began his address on soil drainage. The exercises of the day began, however, with music by the Bilger Family Orchestra. "Family" is correct, for the Rev. O. F. Bilger is pianist, Mrs. Bilger violinist, the eldest boy plays the cornet, the youngest boy handles the drums, and one other child plays a part. The brave little drummer is fully three feet high, but at that he is some drummer. Rev. Bilger serves a U. B. church here and also at Castine, O. The state lecturers on the program this year are: C. R. Wagner, of Arlington ; Mrs. Ida A. Durbin, of Fredericktown and J. A. Hummon, of Leipsic, each a trained observer and very practical in their helpful talks. Mr. Hummon's talk on drainage Friday morning was listened to with marked attention, this section being one where tiling is largely imperative, if good crops are to be raised, in any year, but particularly so in wet seasons. At the close of Mr. Hummon's address Mrs. Durbin talked entertainingly to the ladies, but as the subject related to farm cookery the men were liberal in their applause. When it comes to good eating and plenty of it, the American farmer has a full grown appetite and Mrs. Durbin knows it. At the session on Friday afternoon, Mrs. Durbin had a heart-to-heart talk with mothers. The teacher of household economics and the young ladies of the Monroe high school came over in school hacks to listen and learn. The attendance was large on Friday evening, the subject of the lecture, Community Co-operation, making its own special appeal, as handled by Mr. Hummon. Institute Closes Today. The town was filled with farmers early this morning and the hall crowded to overflowing at the opening hour. Four lectures are on the day's program as follows: Principles of Animal Breeding J. A. Hummon, and Legumes, and their Effect upon Soils, by C. R. Wagner. Practical Sheep Husbandry, Hogs and Hog Marketing, and Our Market for Crops in general came up for discussion this afternoon. At the close of the afternoon session reports of committees and the usual routine business will be transacted: The officers are H E. Banfil, president; W. L. Trump, vice president; Lester Woolf, secretary and John Waldron, Jr., treasurer. Monroe Township Schools. .In addition to the central school in the heart of Monroe township, there are grammar schools at West Manchester and Eldorado. The central school building is one of the best in the state and this is its second winter term. It is located on a pretty tenacre site which is to be beautified with trees and laid out in playgrounds. The auditorium has large seating capacity, there is a commodious gymnasium and the enrollment in all departments just now is 341 pupils, of which 90 are in "high." Mr. L. F. Schieser is township school -superintendent in charge and E. A. Holcomb, principal. Four auto and four horsedrawn hacks are employed, the auto hacks making two trips each way daily. The list of teachers at central school follows: Miss Mary Swartzel, high school; Ruth Markey, domestic science; E. V. Moore, music-; P. G. Campbell, "Smith-Hughes" law teacher of agriculture, of which there is a four-year course. The grade teachers are: Mrs. Blanche Shively, Mrs. Isla Crawford, Maggie Holsinger, Leah Trump, Lucy Gifford, Florence Aglar, Ruth McKee and Mrs. Esther Agler. There are three teachers at the West Manchester town grammar school, and a fair attendance of pupils. Miss Mildred Stines is principal and Katy Walder and Irene Woverton have classes. Some say that it will not be a great while until all the children of the township will be taught at the central school, which is between three and four miles out of West Manchester. Others say the distance is too great and favor the town school. Joe Busby Back From the Front. Joe Busby is a boy of nineteen and he has been over the top in St. Miehel and in the Argonne woods. Well, Joe came limping into town today on a cane and was a most welcome visitor. Joe got back as far as Hampton

He enlisted at Dayton before he was 19 years old and has s still younger brother in camp. Lots of Hogs and Tobacco. Dr. F. M. Emerick, veterinary, says that this 'is- a great hog country and that shipments have been large all season. He and his partner in shipping, John O'Dea of New Paris, had two cars of hogs and one of cattle on the Cincinnati market today. , The doctor says there are still a lot of finished hogs here, despite heavy The tobacco crop in this district was a record, but so far no sales have been made. Farmers hope for fair prices when mbvement begins. The Junior Order American Mechanics will introduce eight candidates to the 1st and 2nd degrees on Thursday night, January 30. and one week later will confer the 3rd degree and have a supper. Mr. A.

Fourteen Militia Companies Will Be Mustered Oat Harry B. Smith, adjutant-general of Indiana, directed Col. Charles A. Garrard, of the 2d infantry, Indiana state militia, to muster out the following fourteen companies: First regiment Company B, Oakland City; D, Princeton; K. Hobart; L, Valparaiso. Second regiment Companies A, B. F and G, Indianapolis; M, Lebanon. Third regiment Company A, Marion; C, Ft. Wayne; G, Argos; H, Plymouth; L, Muncie. , An inspection of the regiment recently took place for the purpose of weeding out the companies not up to standard.

POSITIONS OPEN FOR SHIPBUILDERS The . United States Employment Service Bureau has received communications to the effect that there are positions open for machinists and ship builders ae well as other craftsmen and laborers in different parts of Virginia. If there are any men returning from the service who wish to take positions outside of Richmond there are open to them. Information can be obtained at the local empolyment office. Transportation is not paid. It is difficult to obtain positions for returning soldiers and sailors because positions that are open have not been placed with the office. It is easier in a town the size of Richmond for the employer to engage his employee at his office, as he can better determine whether or not he desires his services. Fifty-seven men have been placed in Richmond. Names of men returning from service are sent into the. office from cantonments. Many of these men whose names have been sent in have not appeared at the local office and the examiner has no way of knowing whether he has secured employment. Up to the present time 226 soldiers and sailors have registered at -the local office which had jurisdiction over Wayne, Rush, Henry, Fayette, Union and Franklin counties. Questionaires concerning the plans for future employment of men mustered out were sent out from the office. Fifty-six have been received denoting that the men have returned to their former employment. As yet there has been no examiner in Richmond to appoint a successor to Examiner Handley of the local office who leaves February 1 to enter the real estate business. URGE GREAT NEED OF FARM PRODUCTS County Agent J. C. Kline and Home demonstration Agent Grace Hadley have returned from Purdue University with many new plans for future use obtained from the convention of home demonstration agents and county agricultural agents which has been in session for the last three days. Dr. E. O. Thompson, president of Iowa University and member of the committee sent to Europe by Herbert Hoover, United States Food administrator gave a stereopticon lecture on conditions in Europe during the war. In Germany there is almost no live stock of any kind, he said, and there is very little in France and still less to feed it. Here Dr. Thompson emphasized the fact that there is a remarkable market for live stock and any kind of farm products in Europe. Continuing this point he said there will be a big future for American farm products, particularly in the parts torn up by battle. The ground is in such a condition that it may be years before a normal crop can be produced, he said. The Important note In the convention was the organization of farmers, which was urged in all communities. It is hoped that soon there will be a state federation of farmers and later on a national association. Miss Conley of the United States Department of Agriculture, talked to the home demonstration agents on after war work to be carried on by women. The most important point emphasized, Miss Hadley said, was the tremendous necessity of conserving textiles. Household conveniences to lighten and ftssen the work of the housekeeper were among the many interesting points under discussion. County agent Kline said Saturday morning that within the next ten days the farmers of the county will meet to determine the work to be carried on during the spring. Cambridge City, Ind.
