JACK JOHNSON OFF FOR CHICAGO JAIL WITHOUT MANACLES

(By Associated Press) LOS ANGELES, July 22. -Jack Johnson, former world's champion heavyweight pugilist, was bound for Chicago today In the company of federal authorities after years of self enforced exile from the United State following his disappearance while out on ball after convicted of violation of the Mann Act. Johnson surrendered Tuesday at the Lower California border. He had been living at TIJuana, in 6ight of the International boundary, for some time. Because of Johnson's expressed dismay at the prospect of traversing Texas and Louisiana, federal authorities said their original plans calling for transportation over a southern

route, had been altered. The start

was made over a northern route. At no time since his surrender has Johnson been handcuffed, federal of

ficers said. Fear of being manacled

had deterred Johnson's surrender

several days, but no promise had been

made that handcuffs would not be

used the authorities said.

"If I had known all this trouble

would have been brought upon me by defeating Jim Jeffries, I would have laid down in Reno Just as I did to Wlllard in Havana" said Johnson while in Jail. He won his championship by

knocking out James Jeffries at K.eno,

Nev., in the fifteenth round on July 4, 1910. He held the title until knocked out in the twenty-sixth round by Jess

Wlllard at Havana, Cuba, on April 5,

Everybody Is starting up his own little presidential campaign party these days. And so far not one of the parties has included a baseball plank in its platform.

So how about starting our own party, brother and sister fans? Babe Ruth for president and Nick AJtrock for vice presidentl How does that sound? -.nd if

Babe keeps on hitting homers a couple of seasons Ruppert of the Yanks will have all the money in the country, so we might as well make him secretary of treasury.

ELEVATORS REPORT SMALL DELIVERIES OF WHEAT SO FAR

By WILLIAM R. SANBORN There is no pressure of wheat at the elevators as yet, because the grain has Just begun to move. There is. however, considerable anxiety for the future, when filled to capacity. Brownsville reports all the cars needed; Fountain City has one car In, and this Is also the case at Williamsburg. Liberty says that they haven't a car ahead and the outlook Is dubious. Preble county points are also "anxious" about cars, but it will take a few days to discover just how great the car shortage may develop to be. Brownsville All-8et The elevator at Brownsville reports a lot of wheat coming in. also that the second car on the crop was being loaded on Thursday morning. They say that the grain Is running 59 and 60 pounds, Is of good quality and that they have cars enough for the present. The manager of the New Madison elevator says they had taken in about 4,000 bushels up to Thursday noon, but have received no cars so far, except thos fhat come In loaded with feed.

Wheat la running at 15 to 18 bushels, mostly, with one crop making but 11 bushels. A small piece has been threshed that "ran 87 bushels, ' but there was but a few acres of It." They are paying J2.65 for number 2 at New Madison. Crop Light at Modoc "We are paying $2.52 this morning," was the word from Modoc, and the wheat so far in 1b of good quality, testing mostly 60 pounds. But our acreage Is Bhort; we shall not have a great rop to handle. We haven't a car to load in yet, but are hoping. Oats are almost ready to cut in this flection." The first wheat at Williamsburg came In on Tuesday, and Frank Dunham was the seller. It graded 60 pounds. Mr. Ross said Thursday that be had a car on track ready to load,

but that there was no telling when he

would get another. Number 2 Is worth $2.50 at WilllamBburg. Receives 1,000 Bushels 'Daily. Frank Demort, manager of the Bath elevator near Liberty, said on Thursday: "We took in the first new wheat

on Tuesday evening and it Is coming In at the rate of 1,000 bushels a day.

when with a good crop it should come

five times faster. We have no cars

ahead to load, and are told that the

outlook isn't promising. In my opin

ion our wheat will not average over

15 bushels; some Is running 10 and

other farms up' to 20 bushels to th

to 60 pounds."? - : - -

SHAMROCK GLEANED FOR FRIDAY'S RACE

(By Associated Press) SANDY HOOK, N. J., July 22. The cup challenger Shamrock IV, was towed to the Staten Island shipbuilding company plant early today to be dry docked, and have her underbody cleaned in preparation for the fourth race with the American defender Resolute tomorrow. The contest yesterday in which the two Bloops went over the 30 mile course In exactly the same elapsed time, has added marked interest to the contests to come. Captain Burton, designer Nicholson and Navigator Claude Hickman, of the Shamrock, were especially pleased with what they agree was a wonderfully fine race yesterday even if the challenger lost it on time allowance. Praises Resolute. "Resolute is a fine boat," said Mr. Nicholson "and Herreshoff has designed a craft that goes better to windward than Shamrock. On the run home before the wind yesterday the sloops raced along beam to beam as is they had been locked together. It was a fine race even if we did lose It." The race tomorrow will be over a triangular course ten miles to a leg, and It is this contest that Shamrock is expected to force the Resolute to the limit, as the legs of the race will be reached at which point of sailing the Lipton sloop has shown to her best advantage.

Ostrander of the soils and crops department of Purdue university gave a valuable talk along soils and crops lines to the Harrison Township Farmers' Association last Thursday evening at Hanna's Creek. Mr. Ostrander emphasised the fact that farmers should stick to a variety of wheat that millers demand. White soft wheat and Red Wave are poor marketing varieties. Every farmer should make it his business to know how wheat should be graded. The leading elevator men of every community grade wheat according to the national grain grading standards and every farmer has a right to this proper grading of the grain he sells. Mr. Ostrander explained in detail the proper grading of grains. The sad lack of manure and clover on Indiana farms was discussed at length by Mr. Ostrander. The wisdom of buying high analysis fertilizer in comparison with low grade was al.4o discussed. The man who buys a 1-8-1 fertilizer is paying out money foolishly for a lot of excess filler. "The higher the analysis tho cheaper the Individual plant food unit" said Mr. Ostrander. No fertilizer is high grade unless It contains at least 14 per cent of total analysis. PARIS, France. Never in their history have the Paris dressmaking establishments worked so much overtime as at present. The wealthy women of Paris, who seem twice as numerous now as before the war, are ordering the flimsiest summer dresses.

Rich Farmer is True Title of County Agent When Mr. Average Man gets a farm of 2G0 acres in Wayne county with horses, cows, buildings and implements as accessories, his neighbors say he is "well fixed." Perhaps he is, Inasmuch as such an outfit would be worth about $60,000. But to a county agent 250 acres of $200 land is only an item. Likewise 1,000 bushels of wheat, 200 head of cattle or 100 bushels of potatoes are matters of everyday appearance to a county agent. A county agent counts his acres by thousands, his farms by hundreds, his poultry in droves yet In a financial way they mean nothing to him. For these riches accrue to him through his job. On behalf of the state he watches over the agricultural destinies of about 3,000 farmers In the county. When Old Dobbin refuses to take nourishment, when the fruit trees get "scaly," when a patch of soil gets "thin," the agent is ready to advise. All the ailments that a farm Is heir to are brought to his attention. He travels among the farmers helping them pitch hay or plow and offering the benefits of his bureau in correcting any mistakes he discovores.
