GRAIN QUOTATIONS E. W. WAGNER & CO.'S REVIEW CHICAGO, April 12. There has been a mixed trade in grain today and in the aggregate has not got anywhere. Oats has been featureless and inclined to follow corn. Reports continue to Indicate heavy stock? of corn in the country ready for movement and there are fiigns of the oar situation improving and increased receipts are anticipated. The country has offered some corn today slightly above buyers' basis. A cable here mentioned that the British government is the owner of 111,500,000 pounds of meat and 27,250,000 pounds of lard. It is estimated that this represents a ten weeks' supply for Great Britain. British trade also has been buying freely for April and May delivery, which purchases have run largely to hams.

Risinger has authorized the commissioners to transfer from the county election fund to the tuberculosis hospital fund the sum of $25,000, which is to be applied to this county's share of the expense of building and equipping a joint-county hospital in Montgomery county, near Dayton. The transfer of funds was authorized because of the fact that there was not sufficient money in the hospital fund to apply on the indebtedness. In a common pleas court action, appealed from a justice's court. J. E. Hevel, the plaintiff, lost the suit against Benjamin Bierly. A quantity of shredded fodder bought from Bierly at a farm sale was the basis of the suit. Hevel claimed the fodder was damaged by freezing.

The costs in the suit amounted to $34, which Hevel paid and final record of the suit has been entered in the court records.

How to Grow

CUCUMBER3. Two to five hills of cucumbers usually will produce enough for the ordinary family. Cucumbers require considerable space, and for that reason they may not fit into the scheme of small gardens. It is possible, however, to plant the cucumbers along a fence or near a building and train the vines on a support, of wire or strings so that they will not encumber the ground or occupy the space required by other crops. , In making the hills or the row in which the seeds are planted, a small amount Of well-decayed manure should be mixed with the soil. A little fertilizer also helps, but it should be used carefully to prevent injury. PEPPERS. The large sweet peppers are rapidly gaining favor as a garden vegetable. Their culture is comparatively easy; however, the plants are very tender and in most sections must be started indoors and transplanted to the garden. The seed Is sown and the plants handled in the same way as tomatoes. Where the cultivation is to be entirely by hand, the plants may be set about eighteen inches apart in each direction. For horse cultivation they should be placed in rows three feet apart and eighteen inches apart in the row. Peppers require a rich soil in order to make a rapid, tender growth. If the growth is slow, the pods will be small and lacking in crispness. SNAP BEANS. Snap beans, sometimes called bush beans, bunch beans, or string beans, are one of the most important crops for the small garden, and will produce a large amount of food on a given area. The first planting may be made quite early, provided the beans do not come through the ground In time to be injured. It is a good plan to follow the first planting in a few days by a second planting to safeguard against loss of the first planting by a late frost. Successive plantings should be made at intervals throughout the season in order to give a continuous supply. .In sections where the heat of midsummer is such that beans will not thrive, two or three plantings may be made in the springtime, then no further plantings until August or early September, at which time one or two plantings may be made for fall use Beans do best on warm, welldrained, sandy loam soil, but they will grow on almost any good garden land. While beans require enough richness in the soil to make them grow rapidly, they should not be fed too heavily on nitrogenous matter because of the tendency to increase the tops at the expense of the pods. One pint of snap beans will plant a littl'3 more than 100 feet of row. The seeds may be placed in hills, five to a hill, and the hills spaced one foot apart, or they may be drilled, with one bean every three inches In the row. The depth seeds should be covered about one inch and the ground slightly firmed. If the soil Is inclined to be heavy, the seed should not be covered so deeply, and care should be taken that the soil is not packed over the beans. In case of a beating rain after planting and before the beans are up, the surface soil over the rows should be loosened by means of a steel rake, care being taken that the beans are not injured in the process. Beans should never be cultivated or hoed when the foliage is wet with dew or rain. Forty to sixty days after planting will be required for snap beans to mature, and each planting will continue to supply pods for about two or three weeks, if weather conditions are favorable. Waterworks Company to Lose Under Prohibition Declares Cincinnatian (By Associated Press) CINCINNATI, O., April 12. Despite the fact that water may become a more popular drink in Ohio after May 25, when the state goes dry, prohibition will result in sale losses of more than $100,000 a year to the Cincinnati waterworks, according to W. F. Von Hoene, comptroller. He estimates that Cincinnati breweries, distilleries, maunfacturers of accessories of intoxicants and saloons annually consumed water for which they paid the city more than $100,000 and this income will be discontinued under prohibition. COLLECTION FOR INDIA CHAPEL St. Paul's Lutheran church is building a chapel at Tanali, Genetur, India at a cost of $2,500. The collection taken up at the church on Palm Sunday will go toward the erection of this chapel. All should return their Lenten boxes, on Sunday in both the church and Sunday school. 1917, Mrs. Blackford, in an alimony action, was awarded $8 a week by the local common pleas court. Committeemen of the Miami Valley Tobacco Growers' association will meet Monday afternoon in Dayton for the purpose of going over and discussing the tobacco situation in the Valley district. The district has about fifty committeemen, ten of which are in Preble county. A. J. Swift, agricultural agent of Preble county and secretary of the Miami Tobacco Growers' association, will attend the meeting. O. M. Johnson and George Eastwood, of the agricultural department of Ohio State university, Columbus, will be in conference with the committee meeting in Dayton.

CROP PROSPECTS FOR COUNTY ARE BEST YEARS Record Wheat Acreage Expected Fruit Output to be Heavier Than Usual. The moat optimistic Wayne county crop outlook for years is reported at the opening of the 1919 farm season. Prospects for almost every crop, those now in the ground and those to be planted, are practically 100 percent, which is ' almost unprecedented, and with plenty of hogs, and plenty of feed for them, Wayne county farmers are feeling Jubilant. Wheat is reported from all over the county as in the best condition possible, having come through the winter uninjured, and since many more acres of it are in the ground than ever before, the county will probably produce its greatest output of this grain. Rye In Good Condition. Rye is also reported in good condition. While fields of clover and alfalfa older than one year have been heaved up and furrowed somewhat by the spring frosts, they aro also In good condition. Because of the high price of seed, smaller fields than usual of these crops are being sown this spring. Oats has to make way for corn this spring, and a smaller crop will be sown than usual. Because of its uncertainty, and because many farmers believe that it is Impossible to do more than break even on their oats crop, this grain is losing in popularity, and the acreage now 1b only about 70 percent of what it was five years ago Half the corn land in the county is turned, as plowing has gone on in snatches all winter, and as soon as the ground dries out after the recent rains, the rest will be plowed. The sod is turned, and the ground which was In corn last year will be plowed as soon as possible. Although it has been reported that some venturesome farmers in Rush county and in other parts of the southern counties, have planted corn, no Wayne county farmer has yet started ttys. Fruit Crop Promising. Fruits of all kinds look better than usual, as there have been no severe freezes to kill the buds. Peach trees throughout the county have begun to bloom, as well as plum and apricots, and the apple and pear buds are swelling. The county population of cattle is smaller than usual this year as many cattle-raisers were tempted by high prices to sell off all the cattle they could possibly spare. Hogs, however, the pet stock of Wayne county, are plentiful, and what is better, corn and other feeds are plenty to carry them through to the new crop, which has not been true in recent years. The prospects for the U,rm year, summing them all up, could not be much better, and Wayne's farmers have every right to feel optimistic. MURDER CHARGE IS FACED BY NEGRO Elmore Sims, colored, will face the grand jury on a charge of murder in the first degree when it convenes early next week, as the result of the death of Sam Davis, also colored, from pistol wounds at the Reld Memorial hospital Friday.

Fire Safety Ordinance Comes Up Monday Night The drafting of an ordinance that will be as satisfactory as possible to the owners of moving picture theatres, to the city, and to the fire department officials will be attempted Monday night when the ordinance committee meets to consider the fire safety ordinance Monday evening. The ordinance was turned back on third reading from the council two weeks ago because of a provision saying that only one person could stand in the theatre for each seat In the back row, which council regarded as too severe upon the theatre men. Meetings between Fire Chief Miller, movie managers, and members of the state fire marshal's department have been held at which the proposal was made to allow two persons standing to each back seat, but this was still objectionable to at least aba minmr

of a theatre. "We will attempt to frame provisions which will satisfy the people, and the fire department, and prevent too great danger. At the same time we do not want to b too harsh on the moving picture people," said Matt Von Pein, chairman of the ordinance committee, Saturday. . John H. Johnson to Attend Rail Tie Producers9 Meeting John H. Johnson, of the B. B. Johnson Railway tie constructing company will leave for Washington, D. C, tomorrow night to attend a meeting of the National Railroad Tie Producers association, of which he is a member of the board of directors. A general conference of members of the association is to be held in Washington on Monday, when some nationally important questions regarding the railway tie situation, which is now being handled by the administration, are to be taken up. Members of the board of directors will meet with railroad officials on Tuesday to consider the tie question. This meeting will be of importance to manufacturers all over the country.
