THERE'S A HEAP OF TROUBLE ON FARMER'S MIND; MARKETS VEER

By WILLIAM R. SANBORN If you are sufficiently ripe in years to remember that old-time and once popular song, "There's a Heap of Trouble on the Old Man's Mind," you can still sing it with conviction. Just make it "Farmer's Mind," be he old or young, and you are all set and tuned up. The latest addition to the farmer's load is a general export embargo, because of the harbor employes' strike on the eastern seaboard. This will prevent the driblets of export meats from reaching the coast; also add to our accumulaions of lard. The natural tendency of this condition will be to keep the price of hogs and cattle from advancing, and may even lower present values, which are none too firm, from the shipper's viewpoint. Every little bulge has been followed by a decline, of late. Chicago has just had a strike of 900 yardmen at the Union Stock Yards, which held up all live stock shipments for three days, and now 1,000 or more switchmen and railway yard employes have gone out, tlelng up a number of the Chicago roads. Officials of the Yardmen's union are, at this writing, insisting that unless the demands of the strikers are met that , a general strike of all the members in the Chicago district will be called. Grain Still Advancing. But regardless of the market on cattle and hogs grain continues to advance. Corn, oats and rye have all reached new high levelB. May corn is now at the highest point eince July, 1.119. at Sl.fi-i. with Inly corn at $1.68 and September at $1.54. The stocks of corn and oats are so lieht at central markets, and the chances so slim for heavy arrivals to fill May contracts: that the shorts arc nervous, fearing a runaway market. Both rye and barley are classed with feeding stuffs, and each of these are at the highest in months, 'vp selling at $1.8816 on Saturday. Tiber 2 yellow corn sold as high $1.73 on track in Chicago on Saturday, with No. 1 white oats at $1.01 from elevators, and any fair quality article bringing $1 or better. All wartime restrictions on flour have been lifted, and this is counted as a bullish factor, because it allows wide open speculation in the staff of life. There are two sides to this, however, for an open market Invites snd fosters competition and the interior mills, which are fighting for business, may possibly shade prices in order to popularize and broaden the demand for their private brands. The Speculative Markets So far as the speculative grain markets are concerned, very few outsiders are supposedly now in the deal, and it is the professionals who are dancing to the music. But that does I not alter the fact that all feeds are firmly held, entirely regardless of the prices paid for cattle, sheep and hogs, and that feeders are uncertain whether they are afoot or on horseback. It is a market fact that grain is working in an entirely independent groove and "no longer bears the close relation to the prices paid for live stock, that formerly brought these values to somewhat of a balance, averaging the months and years, except during a few days now and then when corners culminated, either in May or December. General Live Stock Prices adoui cars or Jive biock. arnvea at Chicago on Friday, after the strike of yard employees was called off, and the fact that 900 cars were expected led to some lively bidding for everything on offer. This led to the highest average price on hogs Blnce January 27, the bulk of sales ranging at from $14.75 to $16.00, with a top of $16.15 on light butchers, hogs weighing from 190 to 230 pounds. These prices were maintained on Saturday. One packer paid $16.00 for 700 head, against a price of $15.00 just one week earlier. The day's aversifre nriee was $15.40.

THE RICHMOND PALLADIUM AND SUN-TELEGRAM, MONDAY, APRILT5, 1920.

Farm Federation Acting upon orders received from J. R. Howard, president of the Ameri can Farm Bureau Federation, the na tional organization to which the Indi ana Federation of Farmers' associations is affiliated, Lewis Taylor, gen eral secretary, has prepared to take a state wide referendum among the agriculturists on the Nolan excise tax bill pending in congress. A similar referendum is to be taken in the '20 states which go to make up the national federation, and the re sult of the vote will be presented to proper authorities at Washington. The bill In question was introduced into the house of representatives re cently and provides for the raising of public revenues by a tax upon the privileges of the use and enjoyment of lands of large value, lands being defined in the measure as "the surface of the ground with all easements in, on, or over same." This includes forest, water rights, and minerals, but does not Include improvements the result in whole or part of the application of labor to land. All persons, corporations or firms owning land in the value in excess, of $10,000, whether in possession or leased to; others, would be subject to an excise tax upon the privilege of the use and enjoyment of such excess at the rate of one per cent. Potatoes are Staff of Life for Home Gardener One peck of medium-sized potatoes, cut bo there will be two good eyes to a piece and dropped one piece to a hill, will plant 350 feet of row, according to the United States Department of Agriculture. If seasonal and other conditions are right, this peck of seed potatoes should produce at least 16 fold, or four bushels of potatoes. Some home gardeners have grow six and seven bushels of early potatoes from a peck of seed, but that is exceptional. Sixteen pecks of potatoes, or 48 quarter-pecks, will provide the potatoes for at least 48 dinners for a family of five, with some left from each dinner to be fried for breakfast the following morning. Potatoes are important In the diet, and early potatoes from home gar dens are especially appetizing. It may not pay to crowd out the more intensive garden vegetables in order to grow early potatoes, but wherever space will permit at least one peck of seed should be planted. A good plan is to plant late sugar corn between the potatoes about the time the potato vines are beginning to show signs of ripening. Then as the potatoes are dug, hoe the soil around the corn. Late cabbage plants are often set between the potatoes and a crop of cabbage is produced after the potatoes are removed. It always pays to keep the land working. . Eyesight Dim?

Miami University Given Famous Statue by Alumnus OXFORD. O., ApriL5. Rev. Samuel S. Laws, retired Presbyterian minister, of Asheville, N. C, the oldest living alumnus of Miami University, has presented to the university a bronze statue of Washington, a replica of the Houdon marble statue which has stood on the state capitol grounds at Richmond, Va., since the closing years of the eighteenth century. The Houdon statue was secured for this country by Thomas Jefferson while he was Minister to France. For twelve years, while Dr. Laws was president of the University of Missouri, the, bronze statue stood on the university campus; then it was trans

ferred to the Cincinnati Art Museum. It was finally sent to the Corcoran Art Gallery, Washington, D. C, from which place it will shortly be removed to this village. The United States Senate once voted $10,000 for the purchase of the Laws statue, but the offer was de clined. Dr. Laws was graduated from Miami Universities in 1848. In his letter of presentation Dr. Laws says: "I suggest that the unveiling of the statue at Miami te made a public occasion, and it Is my conviction and hope that it will be an efficient teacher of Patriotism to the youth of my alma mater." Elstro and Trobaugh Would Be State Representatives Thomas T. Trobaugh, Democrat, of Richmond, Saturday filed declaration with the secretary of state announcing himself a candidate for the nomination for state representative from Wayne and Union counties. Adam Elstro, of Richmond, also filed declaration with the state announcing his intentions to run for the Democratic nomination for state representative from Wayne county. Z. J. Stanley, of Liberty, Democrat, filed as candidate for the prosecuting attorney nomination for the thirtyseventh judicial circuit, and William C. Bond, of Newcastle, Republican, filed as candidate for state representative from Henry county. Saturday was the last day for state officials to file.

The Theatres

WASHINGTON. In order to supply the locale for the island scenes in "Male and Female." founded on Sir James M. Barrie's famous play, "The Admirable Crichtcp.' Cecil B. DeMille, producer of this latest Paramount-Artcraft picture, which is showing at the Washington theatre today, Tuesday and Wednesday, arranged to film this part of the action on Santa Cruz Island in the Paclfio Ocean, just off the California coast. But a tropical island was needed. This did not worry the resource-, ful director, who had great loads of! foliage and tropical plants transplanted, so that the American island resembled a spot in the Soutjtj Seas. This is but one example of the lavish scale upon which Barrie's play has been pdapted to the screen, though the de BAD BREATH Dr. Edwards' Olive Tablets Get at the Cause and Remove It Dr. Edwards' Olive Tablets, the substitute for calomel, act gently on the bowels and positively do the work. People afflicted with bad breath find quick relief through Dr. Edwards' Olive Tablets. The pleasant, sugar-coated tablets are taken for bad breath by all who know them. Dr. Edwards' Olive Tablets act gently but firmly on the bowels and liver, stimulating them to natural action, clearing the blood and gently purifying the entire system. They do that which dangerous calomel does without any of the bad after effects. All the benefits of nasty, sickening:, piping cathartics are derived from Dr. Edwards Olive Tablets without griping,painor anydisagreeable effects. Dr. F. M. Edwards discovered the formula after seventeen years of practice among patients afflicted with bowel and liver complaint, with tha attendant bad breath. Olive Tablets are purely a vegetable compound mixed with olive oil, you will know them by their olive .oolor. Take one or two every night tor a weak and note the effect. 10c and ibc.

lightfully human touch of the distinguished dramatist has been fully retained. The charming story of Crichton, the English butler who became his master's master and almost his son-in-law when a private yacht was wrecked on a desert isle, is interpreted by a great cast of players, including Thomas Mieghan, Gloria Swanson, Lila Lee, Theodore Roberts, Bebe Daniels, Guy Oliver and others. Mr. de Mille is said to excel even his former great successes in point of artistic production.
