Street Car Fares Petition j Hearing, Set For April 20 ' tHte for hearing of the Terre Haute, Indianapolis & Eastern Traction company petition for authority to establish straight cash fares on Richmond city lines has been set by the Public Service Commission for Tuesday, April 20, at 10 a. m. at the offices of the commission in the state house. The city of Richmond will probably ask postponement because the matter can not be brought before council until Monday night, April 19. City Attorney Byram Robbins said Thursday that he had intended to bring the matter before council at the last meeting, April 5, but that council dispersed before he had an opportunity. Members of council say that the petition asked by the T. H. I. & E. is not unreasonable. Considering the increase in prices it is thought not surprising that the company should take some steps In this direction, councilmen are understood

to have said. A representative of the Richmond city government will probably attend the hearing. Uses of Paraffin Paraffin is very useful and does wonders for the housekeeper, though come people look upon it as a greasy liquid unfit for cleansing purposes. A soft cloth moistened with it and used on the furniture in regular dustings will brighten the wood. Many laundresses put a little into the water in which soiled clothes are soaked, and a little added to the starch will keep the Irons from sticking. Paraffin is also good for cleaning enameled bedsteads, bath tubs, sinks, etc. Paint In greatly Improved if cleaned with a .fioft cloth and paraffin, the dirt cornling away without injuring the surface lor spoiling the lustre.

ENRY LANE WILSON, former

ambassador to Mexico, is tour

ing the country under the auspices of

the Society for. the Protection or American Rights in Mexico and is saying nothing at all complimentary either to

Carranza or to tne Wilson administration. The former ambassador says that he and Senator Fall will write the .Mexican plank in the Republican national platform this year, and that while it will not call for intervention it will have Roosevelt's "b i g stick" in it. "T h e Carranza government is a

house of cards,"

says Mr. Wilson. "If American troops were withdrawn from the border a million Mexicans now living in this country would organize and go into the new revolution. It looks as though Carranza would try to perpetuate his dynasty, but very recently the antiCarranzistas, with the exception ot the Obregon followers, have united under the banner of de la Barra, former provisional president, who is a good man." Henry Lane Wilson was born at Crawfordsvllle, Ind., in 1857. He graduated from Wabash college in 1&79 and three years later became editor of the Lafayette (Ind.) Journal, a position which he held for three years. From 1885 until 1896 he engaged in the practice of law and banking in Spokane, Washington. He then entered the United States diplomatic service, representing this country in Chile from 1897 until 1905; in Belgium from 1905 until 1910, and in Mexico from 1910 until 1913. By reason of his Republican politics he has taken no part in diplomatic affairs since President Wilson took office.

WASHINGTON MEN DECIDE ON RULES FOR CORN CONTEST

At the meeting of the farm federation" at Milton on Wednesday night, Albert Kerber, Clyde Leverton and H. F. Caldwell were chosen to select the corn to be used in the 5-acre contests. Reid Yellow Dent will be planted, and enough to plant a 50-hill row will be taken from each ear. The ears will be judged at the harvest and the best will be used in 1921 for raising seed corn. County Agent Murphy addressed the meeting and took part in working out the details of the contest. He stated the kind of contest planned will result in seed which will "increase the yield from 10 to 15 bushels per acre." A number of boys and girls in Washington township are to enter the pig and corn clubs, which the county agent is now organizing in Wayne county. It is expected that from 30 to 40 will be enrolled when the survey is completed.

The Farm and The Farmer By William R. 8anbom

Dayton and Western Line Being Inspected Work of taking inventory of the holdings of the Dayton and Western traction line, between Richmond and Dayton, for the past 14 years operated under lease by the Ohio Electric Traction company, is under way preparatory to the property being taken over by its original owners, who are headed by Valentine Winters, of Dayton. The Winters' organization, according to report, contemplates rehabilitating the property and again operating it as an independent line. Although the plans of Winters have not been completed, it is said that when the line is returaed to its owners the present power house may be abandoned and energy secured from the Dayton Power and Light company.

LEGION DEMANDS ACTION WASHINGTON, April 15. Unless congress makes an immediate appropriation of $15,000,000 for the public health service, 72,000 mentally deranged former soldiers will be without care and treatment, the American Legion's legislative committee declared today in a statement urging quick action. The service now is treating

more than four thousand of these

cases, half of which are in leased institutions, the statement said. In certain instances it was charged that the men were "herded with the criminal insane."

Farm Federation

Co-operation of the Indianapolis Live Stock Exchange with the Indiana Federation of Farmers' Association, in a proposed plan of the federation to rlace at the Union Stockyards in Indianapolis a representative of producers and shippers of live stock, was voted Wednesday by the exchange, under the condition that the shippers and producers who wish to take advantage of the plan give written notice to the live stock exchange of their desire to contribute to the fund. Secretaries and other representatives of farmers' federations from many states in the middle west Wednesday,, attended a meeting at Indianapolis called by Lewis Taylor, general secretary of the Indiana Federation

of Farmers' Associations, to discuss

matters of common policy for the states.

FRUIT CONDITIONS OF WHOLE STATE FAVORABLE, SAYS REPORT Conditions are favorable for nearly a maximum yield of cherries, peaches and apples in Indiana this year, according to reports received from all over the state by the entomology division of the state conservation commission. The division urges general spraying to kill insect pests which might reduce the yield. Green plant lice, hich last spring attacked apple trees, likely will not bother the apples so much this year, said Frank N. Wallace, state entomologist. If they appear they should be sprayed with nicotine sulphate, Mr. Wallace said.

A Richmond wholesaler reports Early Ohio seed potatoes as worth $16, Coblers and Caimans 114.50, and table potatoes $13 per 150 pound bag of 2 bushels. Other inquiries showed that these are the prevailing prices in this market. One retail grocer said that he had marketed several bushels of seed potatoes this spring, and that advancing prices did not seem to cut down the demand. Sales were of small lots, he sai(f, but in one instance the farmer stated tliat he was to plant 4 acres. Wayne county claims no laurels as a potato center, in fact, some farmers do not raise enough potatoes for winter use, but in view of current high prices It was thought that planting might be Increased this season, so the facts were ascertained. Report From Centerville. "We are selling all the seed potatoes we can get," said the manager of the Farmers' Co-operative elevator at Centerville. "At present we have a few

bushels of Coblers on hand and these are worth $6.50 per bushel, although we sold a lot of Early Ohios and Early Triumphs at $2 less, not long ago. The advance in price doesn't seem to check the demand, it being more a question of suitable weather for planting. There are no large growers near here, but many farmers plant enough seed to have a small surplus to sell, if

the crop does well. Several farmers have bought as high as 3 bushels for seed, and Orville Daily .took 5 bushels, and this is our largest single sale." Prices Lower at Liberty. "We are selling seed potatoes today at $5, $5.50 and $6," said Bert Roach, of Liberty. "There are no farmers here who raise potatoes to sell, but if they turn out well there are a few to market. The cost of seed potatoes makes no difference as to sale, farmers are buying seed for home supplies and willing to pay the price. Looks as if there will be a few potatoes grown on every farm."

Richards and Hollinger, general merchants on route 2, Nev Madison,

say there are no market planters over

their way, but that most all farmers

will plant for their own needs, re

gardless of the price of seed potatoes "Seed ig scarce and high," said I.

White, merchant, at Bethel, "but our

farmers are going to solve the high

cost potato problem by planting for

home use. No potatoes are regularly grown for market in this vicinity. It is seldom, indeed, that a farmer has

potatoes to sell. "We are now selling potatoes at 84 cents per pound, but have no seed stock on hand," said Omar Miller, of Cottage Grove, "and will have to get more money on the next table supply. I don't think the high cost of seed will prevent farmers from planting for own use; in fact, many bought seed early at lower prices. There

are no commercial growers around here." John Ellis, Jr., of Greensfork, states that the only potato crops raised in his neighborhood are for family use, and that the demand for seed has been about normal. A. K. ZiegJer, of Dublin, says that be seldom plants more than an acre of potatoes and will plant but onehalf acre this season. His crop on three-quarters of an acre did not turn out well last year and he had but few to sell.

that a windmill of low construction with a wide base would overcome this and might prove very popular.
