LIVE STOCK HIGHER; WHEAT, CORN DOWN DURING LAST WEEK

By WILLIAM R. SANBORN Indianapolis la fast developing as a hog market Receipts , are growing from month to month, by comparison,

and it Is a certainty that prices are-

well maintained in competition with western markets. Last Saturday, for example. Indianapolis received 7,000 hogs, against 2,000 at Chicago. On the contrary, Chicago received 3,000 cattle against 300 at the Hoosler metropolis. Both hogs and cattle showed a decline at Indianapolis Saturday, cattle declining from 15 to 25 cents, with hogs just a shade under Friday's prices on bulk of offerings, lights being off 10 to 15 cents, in particular. The bulk of sales was reported at $16.10 to 16.35, and the top $16.50 on

Saturday. ! Advanced During Week. Compared with Saturday, Oct 2, good heavy hogs were up 25 to 35 cents, mixed mediums 5 to 10 cents, and lights 10 to 25 cents, at Indianapolis, at the week end. The receipts were heavier than expected, the roads and weather being both favorable to trucking, and hogs came in from a wide radius over the country roads About 1,000 were unsold at the close. Chicago Market Higher. Cattle gained at Chicago last week, prime steers selling up to $18.60 on Saturday, with cows and heifers up 75 cents to $1.50 compared with the range on Saturday, Oct. 2. Even bulls and canners advanced 50 to 75 cents, with ordinary veals 50 cents lower, with good calves advanced as much as 50 cents on the week. Hogs at Chicago crept slowly upward last week. The bulk of sales, which was at $14 to 15.50 on Wednesday, struck $14.40 to $16.00 Friday, and made a top of $16.25 Saturday. Receipts fell off sharply at Chicago, being 30,000 less than last year, and 51,000 under 1918 arrivals. The packers have long known, and farmers are beginning to realize, that "the hogs are not in the country thi3 year," regardless of cheap corn, also that they have been marketed closely on account of the cost of corn up to the present break. In spite of this, good hogs sold below $14 at Chicago on Tuesday last, the day of the $15.70 top, or 55 cents under the top Saturday. Lose Millions There is no question but that wheat Is now selling below the cost of production. The government report claims that Indiana farmers have marketed 60 per cent of their wheat with a loss of $7,500,000 since the crop movement started. Wheat prices made a low of 90 cents under the high of July when the Chicago board got into action, after a three-year shutdown. Cash oats are down G6 cents from the July high mark. Cash corn sold at 88 to 92 cents at Chicago Saturday, .at which time December delivery sold as low as S3 li cents and

The Farm and Farmer

By WILLIAM .R. SANBORN

H. M. Hicks, of Milton, no longer a farmer, seems to be able to make a little, money out of a town plot. He has a big garden which produced $175 worth of potatoes for sale this season, besides supplying home needs. His first early potatoes sold at 12 cents per pound; his late ones brought four cents. New potatoes brought high prices this year, arriving when nighpriced grocers were selling old selects at two pounds for 25 cents. Long be-

We are not prepared to justify his

figures, as no one outside of the big packers can really approximate the

facts. They actually know more about the live stock situation than the government, because they keep In close touch with it through trained field men '.who get the information they are

Feeding New Corn. Over in the Walnut Level and Nolan's Fork sections, many farmers are now shucking and feeding new corn. "Much of this corn was .planted in April and the balance in May, on welldrained, gravelly soil," as one farmer relates, "and this assured early maturity." Men are also shucking corn on the County Infirmary land, a num

V ' LAFAYETTE, Ind., Oct. 11 After two years of persistent search of world war battlefields and cemeteries in France, the body of Sergeant William Cottingham, son of Mr. and Mrs. William Cottingham, of this city, has been found in the Romagne cemetery by Mrs. J. F. Wright, of New York. Sergeant Cottingham was reported missing in action at Attigny, October 15, 1918, to which place he had been sent with Company F, 2d Engineers, to construct bridges over the Aisne river and Ardennes canal. Available

government records contained no in-

time than ever before; also that few

er hogs have been raised the past

year.

In the meanwhile we are now able

to feed $16 hogs on 75c corn as against

corn ranging up to $1.75 on the farm some months ago.

FARM ORGANIZATIONS

TO BE GREAT POWER SAYS P. E. GOODRICH

(By Associated Press) MINNEAPOLIS, Minn.. Oct. 11. The next movement In this country will be an agrarian movement, P. B. Goodrich, of Winchester, Ind., president of the Grain Dealers National association, declared at the opening of the association's annual convention here today. He said that the farmers, misled by ambitious politicians, were forming organizations for class legislation stronger than the nation's labor forces. "The farmers, nearer 100 per cent

American than any other class, have been all but convinced that they are abused by the entire country, that the fruits of their labor are taken without anything like a fair return," he said. "Through the great organization they are building up they seek to eliminate competition through class legislation. Here the danger lies. They want the legal right for collective marketing, to combine and hold their products un

til the price is forced up, thus, com pelling the consumer to pay unfabprices. Wield Great Power. "Designing politicians will aid In the movement. Farmers are more activi In politics than business men. The

will wield a great power." Mr. Goodrich declared the public had been misled as to grain marketing conditions. "It might be interesting for the public to know," he said, "thai the cost to the down-trodden farmei of handling grain by the country grait merchant, the terminal market buyer, Including all weighing fees, interest on money, inspection and all othej charges except freight is less than ten per cent of the price paid to the producer. When grain was very cheat the cost was five per cent. It is a well known fact that In no other countrj of the world are farm products handled as cheaply to the producers."

ing. Mrs. Wright, a friend of the family, decided to conduct a personal investigation and went to France.

It was after Mrs. Wright had visited most of the battlefields and war cemeteries that she obtained information about the missing man. She learned from the French government that the body of an American soldier had been left on the bank of the Aisne river and had been buried by the Germans. Later it was removed to the Romagne cemetery. Mrs. Wright went there and by means of the grave marker determined that the body was that of Sergeant Cottingham.

Mar, at the state fair, recently. Mr

De Mar, who is a Chicago city detective, owns 300 'acres of Arkansas land, and his Poland China hog weighed 1,100 pounds. "They used to say that the only kind of hogs you could raise out there were the razor backs. I am

going to raise a heavier hog for next; year's show," he said. "A Golden Opportunity" t If you have been attending purebred hog sales of late you will have observed that all auctioneers tell us

that "this is the farmer's golden opportunity to improve his herd and to mne moiey on liojrs " An auctioneer at the Leverton sale last week stated that Indiana was short 100,000 brood sows and possibly 3,000,000 feeders compared with a year ago. He also said that the United States is 27 per cent short on hogs of all ages compared with 1913 and 1919.

loss would amount to about $100, and

Sell's $20. The two cars were coming east side by side, but Sell, fearing he was too close to the interurban, moved to the right, forcing Hamilton

to ko onto the sidewalk. Hamilton's

Certain-teed Roofing is Spark-Proof

Certain-teed will protect your property against fires due to sparks dropping on the roof from passing engines. It also helps to prevent fires spreading from building to building by means of sparks and burning embers. Where fires have started in other parts of the building, Certain-teed Roofs tend to smother them and thereby prevent serious damage to other property. This type of protection is appreciated by all property owners and particularly by those who are outside of the zone cf adequate fire-fighting apparatus.

But Certain-teed Roofing is more than an aid in the prevention of fire. It also protects from rain cr snow and is guaranteed for five, ten or fifteen years, according to weight. It costs less to buy, less to lay and less to maintain than any other type of good roofing. See a Certain-teed dealer about roofing. If he can't fill your entire order from stock, he can get what you want quickly from a nearby Certain-teed distributing center.
