Hogs slid down 25 cents at Chicago on Saturday, with receipts cf 5,000 head, the largest of the week and of these 2,500 were billed direct to Swift from Omaho, leaving but a comparative handful for a dozen other packers. Ship;'. .'is were entirely out of the market during tla week. Not a single sheep or lamb was on the Chicago general market on Saturday, all that came in being shipped direct to Swift & Co. and one other packer. The day's average at Chicago on hogs. $14.40. was the lowest in two ninths, and the week's average price at $14.50 was 70 cents below that of

New Madison is a good business town and some of the credit for the large assets shown by the Farmers State bank must be given to the merchants. The bank showed resources of $493,203. at the date of the last call, Feb. 28. This was the highwater mark of their official statements, although this amount has been slightly exceeded between calls, totaling better than $500,000 at times this ear.

to be plowed up in this section, judging from what many of the farmers tell us, but even so, some of the late planted should make fair crops." Binder Prices Slightly Up. "We bought the binders we shall deliver this summer, a year ago," said an implement dealer on Thursday. Prices have advanced lately, the new costs being from $7 to $9 higher than quoted a few weeks ago. Manufacturers tell us that their principal trouble is in getting raw material to work up, this applying to everything ini the
machinery line. Farmers who have cement work to put in are advised that mixers now selling at $215 will cost them $240 when the next shipments arrive. All Richmond djealers claim that the difficulty lies in getting goods, rather than in making sales. No complaint of lack of orders has been made by a single concern handling implements, feeds or farm seeds; all claiming business to be first class. Many cars of machinery are due in Richmond and the switchmen's strike at Chicago may possibly cause both
dealers and farmers considerable fur-
In one
instance we were shown a bill of lading for a car which has been five weeks in transit or on some side track, which should have reached Richmond in five days from date of billing. In the main, however, all early placed orders have been provided for and since the roads became passable a lot of machinery has-been delivered. The orders now to arrive are largely for replacement, though in one Instance a car of belated disc cultivators have nearly all been sold. In the Track of the Cyclone.

some "cases the ruins stand just as on the Monday morning, after the storm, with no signs of life on view. In other cases there were members of the family and their friends inspecting what was left of their once comfortable homes. There is a farm on the Boundary road which was completely wrecked, and which had been bought by Moode Welch of Glen Kara, a few days prior to the storm. It is stated that Mr. Welch went to Greenville on the Friday night before the Sunday night on which the wreck happened and placed $4,000 of cyclone insurance on the buildings.

The eastern markets all advanced liberally last week, owing to shortage In supplies. Pittsburg had a top of $19 on hogs last Friday and of $1.25 on Saturday, the latter price being up $1.15 from the previous Saturday. The losses for the week in the west, however, more than offset the eastern jiains, the tops on Saturday showing losses of $1.75 at Kansas City; $1.50 at Omaha and Sioux City, and $1 per hundred weight at St. Paul. Nothing Doing at Indianapolis There was no trading in hogs at Ind'ar.apolis on Saturday, not that there wore no arrivals for about 3,000 head "ame in by rail and truck, previous to the announcement of an embargo by
the roads. But there was no trading. owners and agents deciding to hold I
their stock over rather than to take the cut prices offered by killers, and shippers were, of course, entirely out of the market, for they couldn't ship to any point on the map. Heavy hogs sold a3 high as $15.25; good mixed mediums up to $16.75; and

"We are still taking in a little wheat, also some corn and oats," said Mr. Kir-hards, of the Glen Karn elevator. 'We are paying $2.50 for No. 1 wheat 90 cents for oats and $2.25 per hundred for corn. There is a lot of wheat land

Spring Athletic Status
To Be Determined Today
The athletic status of the Richmond high school will be decided by the boy
students in the school auditorium Monday afternoon. Since the first of
the year students promised to turn out
for track; however, their promises were short lived and Monday's meeting will be the last. Members of the high school "R" club are determined that Richmond will be represented in the state high school meet and the tri-state meet at Cincinnati. They are also In favor of organizing a baseball team.
FIRST GUN CLUB SHOOT. There are about 25 or 30 enthusiastic gun club men at New Madison, O., and the first contest of the spring season will be pulled off on the club grounds on Tuesday. The club is in good shape financially, and owns a nice club house where sociability rules and good times are enjoyed.
Farm Federation j
V. J Many activities of interest to the agriculturist of the state featured a number of Important sessions held at the headquarters of the Indiana Federation of Farmers' associations ' In
this city during the last week. John G. Brown, of Monon, president of the federation, presided at the meetings which included a session of the board of directors, a special conference of the permanent live stock committee, and a school of instruction of the state speakers and organizers In many ways it was a banner week
crowded with movements started In behalf of the organization which the officers of the federation hope will be of great benefit to the membership
throughout the state. Important changes brought about! at the board of directors meeting in- j eluded the appointment of E. E. Key-1
nolds of Lafayette, as the new state treasurer, succeeding William Boston, resigned; the appointment of Mr. Reynolds as associate editor of the Hoosier Farmer Organized as a member of the executive committee; the appointment of Secretary Taylor as temporary editor of the magazine, and the acceptance of the resignations of W. H! Puntenney and H. M. Wldney, district directors, along with that of W. H. Hickman, editor. Pressure of personal business caused Mr. Puntenney and Mr. Hickman to retire, while Mr. Widney has become a political candidate. Before the new district directors are selected, recomendations will be received by the executive committee from the districts affected. The directors went on record unan
imously as branding unfair and misleading to the members of the federation' a recent editorial appearing In the Indiana Farmers' Guide. The editorial had to do with the affairs of the organization and a resolution of protest was adopted and the matter
referred to the executive committee for further action. v

After Whooping Cough -What?
EVEN DOES HER WASHING SINCE VOLA TONIC GAVEHER VIGOR AND ENERGY
This is No. 4 of a series of advertisements, prepared by a competent physician, explaining how certain diseases which attack the air passages such as Pneumonia, Influenza, Whooping Cough, Measles or even a long continued Coldoften leave these organs in an inflamed, congested state, thus affording a favorable foothold for invading germs. And how Vick's VapoRub may be of value in this condition.
"Iam glad to tell my friends about Vola-Tonic because I think it is a great medicine," said Mrs. Lena Rolmer, 4113 Witler street, Cincinnati, Ohio. "Ever since a year ago last July I have suffered with rheumatism and have been almost unable to get around. The rheumatism was so bad in my left arm and hand that I couldn't even double up my fist. Of course, in such a condition I was hardly able to do any of my housework at all. "My appetite was very poor also and I hardly ate anything. "I had only taken a Email quantity of Vola-Tonic when I began to feel better. Now, I am improved and stronger in every way.
"The rheumatism has been relieved greatly and I "have good use of my hands and arms and am even able to do my washing and ironing. "My appetite has come back also. "I am glad to tell my friends about Vola-Tonic because it surely did a lot for me." Vola-Tonic is what thousands of weakened, run down men and women need. It is a wonderful strengthbuilder and helps health in every way. Vola-Tonic is being specially introduced in Richmond by the five Quigley drug stores and is sold by one leading druggist in cities and towns everywhere near here. Advertisement.
Whooping cough is the "meanest" disease that childhood is heir to. While rarely fatal in itself, except to children under two years of age, still it hangs on so longj the coughing paroxysms are so violent, preventing proper sleep and digestion that when the disease does disappear it leaves the child weakened and run down. In addition the violent coughing racks and strains the air passages and after recovery this irritation frequently remains. .During this period of convalescence the child should be most carefully watched until full strength is restored and the air passages regain their normal tone. A prominent authority even goes so far as to say "There is more criminal neglect in connection 'with whooping cough than with any other disease." While the disease is active, Vick's VapoRub usually helps to lessen the violence of the coughing, but it is during convalescence that Vicks is most valuable. Because Vicks acts locally by stimulation thru the skin to
draw out the inflammation, attract the blood away from the congested spots and relieve the cough. In addition the medicinal ingredients of Vicks are vaporized by the body heat. These vapors are breathed in all night long, thus bringing the medication to bear directly upon the inflamed areas. ti Vicks should be rubbed in
over xne throat ana cnest until the skin is red then spread on thickly and covered with hot flannel cloths. Leave the clothing loose around the neck and the bed clothes arranged in the form of a funnel so the vapors
arising may te ireely inhaled. If -the cough is annoying swallowa small bit the size of a pea. ; Children's digestions are delicate easily disturbed by too much "dosing." Vicks, therefore, is particularly recommended , since it is externally applied and so can be used often and freely without the slightest harmful effects. Samples to new users will be sent free on request to the Vick Chemical Company, 234 Broad Street, Greensboro, N. C.

Upon arising in the morning my head and nose would be all stopped up, and it would take some time to get them cleared. My breath most all the time was foul, and my breathing was heavy and difficult. I knew of the benefits people were receiving from taking Dreco, so bought a bottle. At the end of the first bottle. I felt that my condition was much improved: on rising I was not nearly so much stopped up; my breath was sweeter, and the dripping much les,s. I am continuing the treatment ar)l feel that I will get a permanent cure, and do not hesitate to recommend Dreco to any one suffer

A FT. WAYNE AVENUE MOTHER SAYS "PEPGEN IS SPLENDID"
Mrs. Rosa Mervin, 93 Ft. Wayne avenue, Richmond, says: "I had indigestion. It made me very weak, Pepgen was recommended to me and 1 tried it with the most grateful retults. In r. short time my stomach was in normal condition. "Furthermore, I want to say that I feel sure that my taking it helped my baby. The baby was nursing at the time and it seemed to get better and r-stronger shortly after I started on the ;medicine. ' "I endorse Tepgen as a good j-stomach medicine and a splendid buildirr for ihe system." Pepgen is designed to help those linen and women who are run down. It fcegics by stimulating the digestive
2md assimilative organs which make food into blood, bone and muscle. The blood in turn carries nourishment to every portion of the body. Without nourishment all vital organs would roon starve to death the same as you would. They can only receive nourishment through the blood in no other way. What then is their predicament when food is not properly digested and issimilated. The blood becomes thin and watery and the vital organs lose strength because there is not sufficient rich, red blood to build them up-. You owe it to yourself to try Pepgen if you don't feel right. It is different from anything you have ever tried. Obtain Pepgen at any first-class drug store in Richmond and nearby towns. Advertisement.
