Grain mar kets are pressed by the September estimate, stifled export demand, every sign of long continued weak foreign exchange, chance of serious labor troubles, drop of 75c to $1.50 In hogs, large corn receipts, reports otf 105 million surplus wheat In Australia ready to ship. Board of Trade will be open tomorrow. The Lodge bill to finance exports may be a long winded affair and probably will be discounted by weak exchange. New York channels congested. Overnight soma remarks by the president on high costs are expected. Grain decline has now run 4$ days, and looks as if it will last a few days more. 'CHICAGO, Sept. 9.

Elliott, who was a member of the House Suffrage committee during the last session of Congress, and always a friend to the suffrage cause, has expressed his interest in the following letter to the Governor: "Woman suffrage is an assured fact. The thirteen Congressmen and the two senators from Indiana have done what they cold to bring about this great reform, and I therefore believe that Indiana should not be backward in the ratification of this amendment. and I believe that a special session of the legislature should be called for that purpose." Hon. William R. Wood, congressional representaive from Lafayette, is also in favor of a special session of the legislature to ratify the amendment, and says: "I believe It would be good policy to call the legislature together in extraordinary session, even though the other states referred to do not act, in as, much as our state ha3 granted suffrage within he Constitutional limits. This of itself, would be sufficient warrant for the action of the Governor." In a letter to Governor Goodric'l, Congressman Milton Krau3 of Peru, Indiana, writes! "I am confident the sentiment or our legislature and our citizens is most pronouncedly in favor of ratification of the amendment. I have Just learned that you are now undecided as to whether or not you will call this special session. ,, "I have an impression" that personally you are in accord with the sentiment in favor of granting the voting franchise to the women of the country, and I believe the people of our state would approve the calling of a sepcial session for the purpose of giving our state an opportunity to ratify this most recent amendment. "It would be gratifying to learn that when you finally consider this question that you deem it wise and just to call a session for this purpose."

FARM MEET TO DEBATE WHEAT PRICE CHANGE

Unfair Grading Claimed by Manager of International Congress, in Kansas City. KANSAS CITY, Sept. 9. The probability that delegates to the Internatr ional Farm congress, which meets here September 25-27, will take definite action in the controversy over wheat, prices fixed by the United States Grain corporation, was indicat ed in a statement made by W. I. Drummond', general manager of the congress, which accompanied the announcement that Julius H. Barnes, president of the grain corporation, had accepted an invitation to speak here. Following a round table discussion of wheat prices, in which farmers and others attending the congress will be given an opportunity to question Mr. Barnea at length, "the congress may take action in the form of passing resolutions either in approval, in disapproval, or suggesting changes," in the corporation's price-fixing policy, according to Mr. Drummond. Opposition Developed. ' The controversy developed in the Mississippi valley at a critical time when it seemed the much-heralded bumper yield of wheat this year would not grade belter than No. 2. Opposition to the grain corporation's policy of price-fixing, which although more than double the pre-war price on No. 1 wheat, has also made a difference of more than double the pre-war mar gin oeiween eacn graae or wneat, came particularly from official quarters in Missouri and Kansas and from some of the leading farm papers in the two states. Dr. H. J. Walters, formerly dean of. the Kansas State Agricultural schools, led the opposition to what he termed an overturning of customs set by years of marketing experience between producer and buyer. The contention of Dr. Walters and other opponents was along this line: Under the usual s'ystem of marketing practiced before the war, it had become customary to make a difference of about one cent a bushel between each grade of wheat. When a standard price on No. 1 wheat, now more than double the average price of prewar days, was set by President Wilson, the fixing of relative prices was left to the discretion, of the United States Grain corporation, which fixed prices for those grades in the same ratio of increase which determined the increase in price of No. 1 wheat. This system of establishing standard prices, however, made a difference of about three cents a bushel between each grade of grain, whereas the opponents of that policy asserted that, in determining the prices of the lower grades of wheat, the grain corporation should have followed custom and marked the down scale of prices by one-cent differences in each grade. The grain corporation, it is said, contend that the ratio of increase should be maintained for each grade. It was contended, for illustration, that if pre-war prices on No. 1 wheat were $1.00 and on No. 2 wheat, 99 cents, and the price of No. 1 should have been doubled to $2.00, then the No. 2 price also should be doubled, making it $1.98. Leaders of the opposition are contending that the one-cent difference should be maintained, which on that basis, would put No. 1 wheat at $1.99.

nearly six cents a bushel under the price of No. 2, a loss of practically four cents a" bushel in the difference in prices fixed by the corporation and prices declared to be fair and in keeping with market custom by those who opposed the government price standard. It would, according to Dr. Waters, have meant a loss of millions of dollars to farmers in the middle west. These fears of wheat being of low grade fortunately were unfounded because of improved weather conditions, and something of a lull in the controversy followed, but, according to Dr. Waters, the principle of the corporation's price fixing policy is wrong, and when the opportunity is given to question Mr. Barnes, he 'declares tho leaders of the opposition will put Mis souri and Kansas farmers clearly on record as to their position in the matter of fixing prices on lower grades of wheat.

Prisoners of War to be Returned This Month (By Associated Press) WASHINGTON. Sept. 9. Official dispatches from France said that all prisoners of war probably would be repatriated before September 30. It is assumed here that this includes prisoners held by the British because representatives of the United States and Great Britain have been working for a common policy. About 24,000 American officers and men are now en gaged in guarding prisoners, whose release would permit their early return home.

Rid Sheep of Tkks, if You Would Save Big Loss By P. Q. HOLD EN. TICKS take a mighty toll. from the sheep of the United States. Sheep that are badly infested with ticks won't thrive ; the feed the sheep eat is consumed in replacing the blood 6ucked out of the ticks. Imagine the amount of blood that it takes to fill 500 ticks, larger than grains of wheat not onl, to fill them . btrt to feeep them full, for they are ravenous blood suckers. It is not unusual to find 500 frill grown ticks on one sheep, and often the owner is not aware that his sheep are suffering. The time of year that ticks do their worst mischief is at the approach of winter. This is the time of year that they begin multiplying fastest and using the most blood. A sheep with 25 ticks on It now is apt to be literally covered with them by shearing time next eprlng. Take Vitality From Sheep. There have been many instances where the ticks multiplied and punished the sheep until by the time the wool was taken off the sheep they were exhausted from the loss of blood and nothing was left bat skin find bone. Now Is the time to get rid of the ticks. It is cheaper and better to take care of any trouble while it is easily controlled and before great damage has-been done. Dip the sheep before thq weather gets cold. Use some of 'the commercial dips that can be purchased from any dealer. Mix according to directions. Dip the sheep thoroughly, and repeat again in two weeks to get any ticks that might have hatched after the first dipping. Dip every sheep. If one or two is missed there may be enough ticks on them to pollute the whole flock before winter is over. Don't neglect dipping because the sheep have only "a few ticks." Remember the ticks are prolific and "a few" may soon be making inroads on your eheep feed. Look under the sheep's neck, along the throat, for ticks. Here you will find them if they are on the animal, and here you will find the eggs, which are rodhd black balls like buckshot Don't Let Ticks Take Profits. Feed is too expensive and sheep and wool too valuable to allow anything so easily controlled as ticks to take the profit.

It would be light and easily moved, and there should be no confusion about using it, as not all would likely need it at the same time. WAGE, HOUR (Continued from Page One) Acting President John L. Lewis in his report to the convention discussed the greatly increased cost of living and the improbability of any sweeping reduction through "belated" federal action as a preface to his recommendation for a cancellation of the Washington wage agreemeniln the bituminous field not later than November 1, and the negotiation, of a new wage scale to be enforced, in case of failure ing from the efforts of Director General McAdoo and Hines to secure coal for railroad use below the rate fixed by the United States fuel administration; expressed fear that the success of 6uch efforts would tend to force down miners wages; strongly condemned policies and principles of the I. W. W. and similar organizations and declared against any compromise with element seeking to spread such doctrines in the United Mine Workers organization. Reports Damage Actions He reported on damage actions brought against the United Mine Workers organization which are inspiring efforts to secure fro rinreS9 an amendment to the Clayton anti-trust act to prevent the'p6s'!uuuity of such suits against labor unions. He further recommended an effort to secure tariff legislation to cope with the problem of Mexican fuel oil, which is entering into serious competition with American coal and on account of its cheapness and the ease with which it may be delivered at seaboard. Great Lakes and Mississippi river points, contains a threat to the prosperity of those engaged in the coal idustry. An import duty of at least a dollar a barrel was desired to meet this competition. Opening with a reference to the war accomplishments of the miners, - 1 who had patriotically met every demand for'increased production for war industries and furnished 80,000 men to the American armies. President Lewispassed to the war time negotiations with the United States Fuel administration and the efforts to secure modification of the Washington wage award, which had quickly proved inadequate to meet actual increases in the cost of living. These efforts had been successful in the anthracite field, where increases of from 25 to 40 per cent had been granted butall efforts to secure corresponding ameliorations to the bituminous scale had failed. Production in 1919 had fallen off markedly, he said, the output during the first seven months having beetminetyone million, tons less than in the same period of 1918. This reduction was accomplished by extensive non-employment for miners. Sees Time ton Action. The "astonishing increase" in the cost of the necessities of life felt by the miners with particular severity owing to their life in isolated communities far from centers of distribution necessitated Immediate action to en-

able mine workers to meet it.

The committee on policy already in March had drawn up a series of rec ommendations, which he enumerated. but no wage movement had been thought advisable, this summer, owing to the industrial depression. The time for action had now come. In no way responsible for the failure of the senate to ratify the treaty of peace and thus officially terminate the Washington wage agreement, the United Mine Workers should no longer be consid ered bound by that agreement. He, therefore, recommended that the con vention terminate the Washington agreement not later than November 1; that in the event of no satisfactory basic agreement being reached by that date there be no sectional settle ments by strikes but that there be "a complete cessation of mine operations throughout our entire jurisdiction"; and that any satisfactory basic agree ment reached in the central competitive field automatically affect all outlying districts. .Concerning nationalization of coal mines, recommended by the eame committee on policy, Mr. Lewis eald that the international officials bad been unable to have the desired draft legislation prepared in time for the convention. He therefore, placed the entire matter before the delegates for their consideration. seeking Damages for lives lost on torpedoed vessel fL w ts 4 Judge Mayer.
