- GRAIN PRICES Furnished by E. W. WAGNER & CO., 212 Union National Bank CHICAGO, Sept. 27. Heavy covering in short grains is the Sept. 27 feature. Bears still predict September corn -will at least not store any , net . advance In the next three days. De cember corn at so cents repiesema 75 cents in the country. Outside cash men still claim September corn prices are a target and best sales are maae by the delivery route. The frost re ports of South Dakota ana uoioraao look unimportant but have stimulated corn prices a little. Wheat bulls still maintain some of their fancy price ideas. We believe any bulge will Contribute to a break Tuesday but December corn near 90 cents should be about liquidated. After the September corn final adjustment, we believe te trade will look for frost news. RANGE OF FUTURES Furnished by E. W. WAGNER &. CO., 212 Union National Bank Building. CHICAGO, Sept. 27.

SAFE FARMING Sets New Record for Teaching Vitalized Agriculture Harrison County, Indiana, Introduces it Into Every School.

S OONER or later agriculture

America. Already, in many states, the law requires teaching agriculture in rural schools.

Agriculture is the Industry

pend ; It is the industry that makes all other industries possible. It is as important that our boys and girls be taught agriculture as it Is that they be taught stenography, or bookkeeping, or law, or medicine, or mechanics. But too often, in trying to teach agriculture, we skim through books, tench words, not things, repeat the same subjects year after year. As a result we kill interest, make the teaching of agriculture a dead letter. No man can be a successful farmer by being simply a book farmer. He must study his crops, his live stock, his soil, birds, insects, plant and animal diseases. To teach agriculture successfully, we must see that the children study things not words and use books as tools. And we must rotate the subjects not teach the same things year after year. County Goes 100 Per Cent. This is the plan followed in what is known as Vitalized Agriculture, which is proving so successful in Oklahoma, Missouri, South Dakota and Utah. Harrison county, Ind., Is the latest county to adopt the plan. It is the first county in Indiana to take up Vitalized Agriculture and has set the pace for the rest of the state. More than this, it is the first county in the

whole United States to introduce Vitalized Agriculture into every school In the county city schools and country schools alike. In no other county in any state has it been introduced into more than from 25 to 50 per cent of the schools. County Superintendent A. O. De Weese of Harrison county is a man of vision. He studied the plan, saw how it worked in other states, and decided to introduce it into 100 per cent of his schools. Hold Short-Course School. Teachers must be trained to teach Vitalized Agriculture. They must be taught in exactly the same manner In which they will teach their pupils. So a short course school for teachers was held on the fair grounds at Corydon, the county seat of Harrison county. It commenced September 13 and continued all week. Every teacher in the county 150 of them was given a thorough course of training by the originator of the plan, Prof. P. G. Holden of Chicago, and his assistants. It was a busy week. Every one worked hard, but all were enthusiastic, and Harrison county, Ind., promises to lead the world in the teaching of agriculture.

"During these present days of unrest and readjustment, the American Legion and the stand of the ex-service man for law and order is the greatest possible insurance policy our country could possibly have, and the only insurance premium the ex-service man expects in return Is simply fair play from that government with which he has played so fair." Greetings from Marshal Foch, of France, were read to the American Legion convention here today. He sent 1 this message: second anniversary of the fightin they went through by the side of the Allies for the common cause of right and liberty. I again render homage to the valor and to the tenunity which they unceasingly showed on the battlefields of France; in the days of misfortune and the days of success; the magnificent enthusiasm with which they answered our call; the great part they took in the sacrifices of war; the glorious remembrance of those who fell on our soil will remain a token of the profound gratitude and the indestructible union of our two countries. I send my cordial greetings to Cleveland the "steel City" and to the great state of Ohio which has furnished to America so many illustrious statesmen and to France so many faithful friends. F. FOCH, Marshal of France. Ministerial Association Wants Evangelist Here "Union evangelistic services for Richmond, again occupied considerable time at the meeting of the Ministerial Association, held in the Y. M. C. A., Monday morning. It is hoped by the association that an evangelist of national reputation can be secured to conduct fall services for several weeks. Practically all are r.greed that Richmond needs an awakening, and general cleansing, such as an evangelist with an organized party can give. Negotiations for "Gypsie Smith," a well known English evangelist, was started early this year, in anticipation of a Call campaign, but no recent word has Ween received from him regarding the possibility of his coming. After thorough discussion, the matter was referred to the evangelistic committee, i No other business was taken xip.

By Five Preble county granges have, made good exhibits at the Eaton fair. Take a look at them; it will be worth while. Walter Beatty and S. L. Bookwalter, of New Madison, have returned from Kansas City, where they bought 88 head of stock cattle last week. They got a fine bunch of young feeders and came through with them, the shipment making three car loads. The campaign to increase the mem bership of the Preble county farm bureau is now on. The first gun was fired this morning, September 27. The Indiana farm federation folks will not get very active in their membership: campaigns until about mid-October. Hog Prices In Argentine. The following cable to the secretary of the National Swine Growers association at Chicago, in relation to the hog sales at the International Live Stock Exposition at Buenos Aires, in September, will be found interesting. It shows how the various types of hogs averaged at that important sale: Poland Chinas, per head ...$1,035 Durocs 793 Berkshires 3S8 Snotted Polands 272 Chester Whites 100 This, of course, is no criterion of relative values in this country, where the figures might often be reversed, but shows the present status of breeding stock in Argentina, which is a great corn country and where the hog industry, largely aided by American packers, is fast coming to the front.

STOCK HITS SKIDS AT GLEN MILLER'S SCALES LAST WEEK The paxf w-k was erne of nervous tension to both farmers and speculators. whthr in grain or live stock. Cattle and hogs advanced the first two days of th wek, only to break heavily after Thursday. Grain went to pieces, corn breaking from a high of $1.37 on Wednesday, to a low of $1.20 on Saturday, for September, or practically cash delivery. December and May corn sold under $1 from Thursday on, the range on the week being from $1.08 to 93 for low on December, from Monday to Saturday. Hogs and cattle suffered from this break, everywhere, owing to a feeling that liquidation ia general prices were under way and that live stock could hardly advance, in the face of so much pressure, no matter what trend the market may take later on. The country feels that live stock Is low enough, and has been, even at recent top prices. While there are many pessimists as to this, there are also men who are looking for a considerable advance, especially in hogs, before snow flies. Week at Glen Miller Receipts at the local stock yards last week were fairly heavy, in view of the break In prices. Over 500 hogs came in and 21 head of cattle, 33 calves and 8 lambs went over the scales. Veals and lambs are pretty well cleaned up for the season in this section, and receipts have been dropping for some time. "Owing to the break In grain prices," said Rome Shurley, "hogs lost from 50 cents to $1 during the week, best hogs selling at $16.50 on Saturday, against $17 a week ago. Cattle were also off about the same amount, while calves wound up the week from $2.50 to $3 down, surprising as that may seem. Some veals sold at from $4 to $8 while the very best coming in, made a top of but $14 at the week-end, with good lambs at $6 to $8 per hundred." Shippers and Prices Among the biggest shippers of hogs last week were William Henley, of Randolph county, 92 hogs Saturday, for which he cashed a check for $3,536. Clark Crowe marketed 82 spring pigs, weight 12,400 pounds, which brought him $2,094. John Benerly received $16.75 for 44 hogs, which brought him $1,242; O. B. Cooper got $954.75 for 25 head at 16c, while Wora Payne cashed in 30 spring pigs at $775. Six cars of hogs, weighing 99,455 pounds, together with cattle, calves and sheep, cost the yards $28,340 last week, according to Mr. Shurley's report Monday. A shortage of cars on Saturday led to the shipping out of a lot of stuff Sunday afternoon. Among the shippers of the week were George Burnett, John Vogelsong, Grover Miller, Harry Ross, Charlie Mikesell. J. W. Higgs, Chester Lantz. C. H. Meyers, Mitchell Henshaw. B. B. Bishop, A. C. Underhill. D. B. Miller, J. H. Brown, Starr Sowders. Lynn Moody, William Moody. John Batchelor and Frank Puthoff. Indianapolis Market The Indianapolis market has been relatively higher than western points for some time, local conditions favoring sellers nearly every day. Cornpared with a week ago hogs closed in that market Saturday at a loss of 75 cents on good lights, 50 cents on mediums, and 75 cents on the general run of heavies. Practically everything on offer Saturday ranged at $17.25 to $17.50. The receipts wer about 6,000 head. Cattle ruled dull and weak during the week, with a number held over from day to day. PRICES ARE HIGHER IN WALL STREET MONDAY NEW YORK, Sept. 27 With scarcely an exception prices were substantially higher at the active opening of today's stock market. Sentiment seemed to be favorably influenced by the large gain in local federal bank reserves. Initial advances of 1 to 4 points were made by Crucible Steel, Mexican Petroleum, Great Northern, Canadian Pacific, Western Pacific, St. Louis and San Francisco, Kelly-Springfield Tire and Inspiration Copper. Equipments, motors, tobaccos and the good specialties also were firm. American Woolen was the only issue to record more than a fractional loss, declining 1 points.
