RISKIEST MARKET EVER, SAY MILLERS AND GRAIN DEALERS

By WILLIAM R. SANBORN. War, weather and transportation all figured la the speculative markets last week. It was claimed Jate in the week that much of the corn belt badly needed a wetting, but this fact did not support corn when there came a rumor that Poland had arranged an armistice with Russia, this being presently denied. The dry weather checked the Felling of corn by bearish operators, and the reports of odd showers here and there relayed the tendency to have a run?vay corn market, in keeping with the f xcitement which caused an advance cf 42 cents per bushel in wheat, from he low of Monday to the high of $2.48 for December, on Friday. A Mighty Risky Market. Elevator men and millers are very loath to chart the future of grain prices. They claim it to be a day today affair and the hardest market to guess experienced in years. Rural elevator men are at sea; are playing as safe as possible in their buying, and are making no prices for the morrow. Some profess to believe that grain will move more freely when the government abandons control on Sept. 1. Por what reason? Well, for one thing, because the roads will get a lot more for moving a car of grain when the new rates go into effect. But consider! The roads have more business than they can handle now, and this condition is to continue for a long time. As to surplus grain cars for later use, where are they? Charles Carpenter said Monday that he had observed the hundreds of box cars using their switches in past months and that mlsthty few of them would hold wheat. This is largely the trouble. Shippers have been repairing cars to insure safe loading, for months. Foreign Demand. The extent of the foreign demand for both wheat and com is one for future disclosure. We are not likely to ship a great deal of corn this year. European wheat harvests are not gathered yet. No wheat has been cut in England, and rains are damaging the crop. And then there is Argent'nn to consider. That country has shipped Europe about 192.000,000 bushels of wheat this yar against 53.000,000 at this date a ypar bro. Argentine has also shipped S4.000.000 bushels of corn this season, or f0 per cent more than last year, to date. Many cargoes of this corn was sold in New York at 10 to-20 cents under our own prices, depending on the flurries in our own cash market, when sold. Indianapolis Live Stock. Nothing exciting occurred in the Indianapolis live stork markets during the past week. The da'ly fluctuations were not very broad, consisting of the general seesaw, the final figures on Saturday beinz practical'y on a parity with those at the end of the previous week, particularly as tc hoes. The top on lights was about 15 cents rnd on good heavies, 25 cents, under that of last Saturday. July 31. but in the main prices ruled in line with those prevailing a week earlier. The wide fluctuations in grain had no pereeptable effect on live stock In any market during the week. The following will give a fair presentation of how the various loads went over the scale: Hogs weighing 160 to 225 pounds. $16; 225 to 250 pounds. $15.75; 250 to 275 pounds. $15.50; 275 to 300 pounds. $15, and all over 300 pounds, $14.50. Cattle steady: veals lower. The bulk of good veals sold at $15 to $15 50. a few fancies poing as high p.s $1G. Good light hogs Fold at. $16.75 on Thursday, the high of the week. Lively Glen Miller Market. They had a very busy week at the Glen Miller yards last week, and re ceipts of all kinds of live stock were exceptionally heavy. The total shipments were 15 cars, six of which went east on Saturday night. Stock was trucked in from long distances and the names of the different ship pers receiving checks would make quite an imposing list. A large number of good light hogs came in on Saturday. These brought $15.50, while others went at various prices down to $14.50, including the heavies. Chicago Stock Yard Prices. r-orr.'t-(i with a week ago, medium and good steers closed 25 to 50 cents 0.) Saturday, while good. weighty cows and heifers were that much higher. The cattle market was a very mixed affair all week, and there was a net gain in most values. Veals wore weak, some grades losing as much as $1.50 during the week. Bulk light and butcher hops sold at $15.35 to $16.25, and the top was $16. U0 at Chicago, on Saturday. The Theatres RICHMOND When the Dance of the Seven Veils was first presented to the public in the operatic production of "Salome," being the Oscar Wilde prose poem set to symphonic music by Richard Strauss, a sensation followed. Such a furore was started by Mary Garden's interpretation of the dance that the first performance also was the last Critics in New York, where the premiere was staged, heaped coals of fire upon the heads of both artists and management, leading the Board of Directors of the Metropolitan Opera House to ban the opera. The same dance is staged by Will-i-.m Fox in the screen production of Salome." which will be shown at the Niehmond Theatre beginning Monday. i"he interpretation of Theda Bara lucks none of the fire and passionate .-weep of former interpretations. But ;he scene is artistically subdued, thus tempering the sensual and accentuating the artistic. The dance plays an important part in the narrative. Salome whips the blood of Herod into a boundless passion by her dance. He grovels at her feet, a weakling slave. This is her chance to wring a bloody gift from the monarch. She demands the head of John the Baptist. MURRETTE Katherine MacDonald, famous for her remarkable screen interpretations, and well known as the most beautiful woman In America, will appear at the Murrette theatre beginning Monday in the star role of the picturization of the novel by Mrs. Baillie Reynolds entitled "The Notorious Miss Lisle." This latest First National aH Tac

tion is the story of Gaenor Lisle, beautiful young English girl who is annoyed by the publicity given her participation In a popular scandal affair, and leaves England, embarking on a series of romantic incidents, culminating in a breathless climax, wherein Gaenor, married to a man who knows nothing of her past, is requested by her husband to acknowledge or refute the charges that have been made against her. Under the capable direction of James Young, the story does not lag nor fail to keep the interest of spectators at the highest pitch. WASHINGTON. It is probable thafho feature production of recent years embodies as many meritorious features as does "The Confession," Henry Walthall's latest and most stupendous photo drama, which is showing at the Washington., Especially is this true of the innumerable exterior scenes of exceptional beauty which are shown from the opening to the close of the picture. Always careful to obtain the best, even to the smallest detail. Director Bertram spared neither time nor money In obtaining locations which without doubt have never before been used In any previous film work. Several weeks alone were consumed In hunting and selecting suitable shots, the majority of which were taken at Truckee, Lake Tahoe and surrounding country. A round trip of 800 miles was made for the purpose of taking one scene alone, that of the waterfall, but the desired result was obtained and Bert Bracken and results are synonymous terms. It is safe to conjecture that no picture of recent years will bear comparison with "The Confession" since it embodies the very essence of every desirable ingredient that goes to make a super feature story, star, direction, cast, art, work and photography.

Farm Federation Officers and directors of the Indiana Federation of Farmers' associations, meeting in special session in Indianapolis during the last week held one of the best conferences in the history of the organization. A number of big problems were up for consideration which were discussed from all angles, various reports were made, plans formulated for many activities in the interests of the farmers of the state, and recommendations made to the standing committees. The question of establishing a bureau of markets as a new department nils left to the executive committee. This committee will go over the tentative plans thoroughly. Lewis Taylor, general secretary, gave an interesting report of recent meetings held at Chicago and Lansing, Mich., where marketing plans were discussed at length. The American Farm Bureau federation has a marketing plan for grain under consideration, To Have Perfect Skin Throughout the Summer This is the season when she who would have a lily-white complexion should turn her thoughts to mercolized wax. the firm friend cf the summer girl. Nothing so effectually overcomes the soiling effects of sun. wind, dust and dirt. The wax literally ab sorbs the scorched, discolored, wither-J ea or coarsened scarf .skin, bringing forth a brand new skin, clear, soft and girlishly beautiful. It also unclogs the pores, removing blackheads and increasing the skin's breathing capacity. An ounce of mercolized wax, obtainable at any drug store, applied nightly like cold cream, and washed off mornings, will gradually improve even the worst complexion. There is nothing better for the removal, of tan, freckles or blotches. Advertisement, which was explained in detail by Mr. Taylor. Marketing methods employed by the California Citrus Growers' association were cited and a general survey and study of this problem is to be made by officers of the federation. A financial statement was compiled by E. E. Reynolds, state treasurer; P. C. Ohler, marketing agent at the Indianapolis Stock Yards, gave a report on his activities, and members of the legislative committee, of which J. J. Brown, of Rnckport, is chairman, outlined their work and asked for suggestions as to future legislative work. H Farm Sale Calendar ! iTuesdav, Aun. 10, 1920. T. W. Emrick.

THE RICHMOND PALLADIUM AND

HESSIAN FLY; DATES TO PLANT TO AVOID HIM, ARE GIVEN OUT Practically all danger of serious wheat losses from the Hessian fly can be avoided by farmers In most localities of Indiana. Illinois and Ohio If they will plant their wheat according to the dates In the "safe planting" schedule prepared by entomologists of these states In co-operation with the United States department of agriculture. Farmers are urged not to yield to the suggestion which some have made to plant no wheat whatever, as this might cause serious curtailment of the wheat crop and is wholly unnecessary. The way to avoid repetition of the serious losses suffered during the season Just past Is to refrain from too early planting and observe other precautions recommended by the state and federal authorities. Planting according to schedule will, under normal weather conditions, result in practically complete protection from the Hession fly, whose life history is so well known that the date of its appearance can be quite accurately forecast. Those who have been accustomed to plant wheat early in the fall to avoid its being winter killed are assured that if they observe the recommendations as to preparation of the seed bed, the use of good seed and soil fertility, this risk will be reduced to a minimum. In years when the HesElan fly is abundant, early-sown wheat is practically certain to be seriously injured or to be a total loss, whreas the dates for sawing wheat for the maximum yield and quality, regardless of the fly, come very near the recommended safe dates. It seems advisable, therefore, to postpone wheat sowing until these dates but to have everything in readiness to sow then, or as soon thereafter, as possible. The dates recommended are based on years of investigation and have been determined by actual sowings at three and five-day intervals during September and October for a series of years in various localities In each state. Persons interested should secure from the county agent or state agricultural college, one of the maps showing the safe dates for the various tiers of counties. The following tabulation only approximates the recommendations. Where the map show.s the bulk of a county lying in a given date zone no mention has been made of a portion of that county which falls in an adjoining date zone. Here only GREAT BENEFITS FOR LOCAL MA Declares his liver is now act-;f ive, stomach digests his! food, pains in his back all gone. Has no more headaches or dizzy spells and feels "fit" since taking Dreco, the great herbal remedy. It is a well known fact that the failure of the human system to eliminate its waste matter gives rise to more suffering, disease and shortening lives than any single cause. The bowels must be kept moving daily, the kidneys must filter the poisons from the blood and throw them off and the liver must secrete its juices properly to aid in this operation and also to help the stomach carry its load. Dreco, the great herbal tonic, acts on the bowels, kidneys, liver and stomach in an effective and pleasing manner. "Since taking the great herb and root remedy, Dreco, I am feeling greatly improved," stated Mr. Luther Irvine, living at 730 S. 13th St., Richmond, Ind. "I had suffered from a lazy liver which gave me dizzy spells; I had a dull, aching pain in my hack over my kidneys; I became very nervous so that I never got a good night's rest. My stomach seemed unable to digest my food thoroughly for it gave me nausea, pains and gas would fill me up. "I must say that Dreco has entirely relieved me and I no longer suffer as before but feel full of energy and vitality. Dreco is truly the great medicine that I heard it war." All good druggists now sell Dreco and it is highly recommended in Richmond by Clem Thistlethwaite's seven drug stores Arlvprtisempnt. John H. Niewoehncr Sanitary and Heating Engineer S19 S.

Weather May Change Dates. Drought or abnormal conditions of temperature cause the date to vary somewhat from year to year. Unusually dry weather through July and August will retard the appearance of the adult flies in the field and make the corresponding safe date a few days later. Drenching rains may sweep across narrow strips of country, causing the fly to emerge in advance of those from the dry areas on either side. Such occurrences can not be foretold, but the farmers In each section can take advantage of them. M n i l asonic calendar Friday, Aug. 13 King Solomon's Chapter No. 4, R. A. M., stated convocation.

Bryant, Indiana field agent of the department of agriculture. The report follows: "Conditions have been favorable and farm work progressed very rapidly during the week. Temperatures dropped to 40 degrees in some sections. No frost was reported. "Corn generally is looking excellent, but it has been too cold to start the ears and some Is tasseled out on a stalk not more than two feet high. "Winter wheat thrashing is progressing very rapidly. There seems to be no reason for changing previous estimates. Oata Thrashing Begins. "Oats thrashing has begun in the north part of the state. Yields are running from poor to excellent. Early sown oats are making far the best crop, both in weight and quality. "Hay crops were all harvested under favorable conditions. Some localities reported the largest and best crop in years. Others had a poor crop. The second cutting of alfalfa is now progressing with a good outlook. "Truck crops are not doing as well as expected. The nights are too cold. "Early potatoes were poor, but there is a fair outlook for late varieties. Melons are a large crop. "Peaches are very good. Apples and pears are dropping badly and otherwise show deterioration.
