WASHINGTON, Dec. 23.

J. D. A.

D. W. Wentz, president of the association, testified to purchasing for the war department at the height of the shortage last summer, 150,000 tons of coal for which the government paid $11.50 a ton, while another corporation which he controlled was mining and selling contract coal for $3.20 and $3.87 a ton. Correspondence taken from the files of the Washington office of the association by government agents Saturday, was read from time to time by members of the committee and enlivened the proceedings.

If you want to see a regular show at the Washington theatre tomorrow morning and at the same time help the Salvation Army feed the poor who are looking to It for their Christmas cheer, you may kill two birds with one stone The admission will be two potatoes only two Irish spuds. Or two apples, two oranges, a can of fruit or vegetables or any combination of the eatables mentioned In any quantity that one's generosity may suggest. Here's the big idea. Manager E. W. Bell of the Washing ton theatre conceived a double-barreled idea, one whereby schoolchildren would be treated to a big show prac tically for nothing and at the same time help along the Salvation Army's Christmas charity. The. doors will open at 9:15 with the show starting at 9:30. Any school boy or girl or newsboy who presents at the Washington theatre two or more potatoes, apples, oranges, cans of vegetables or fruit or the like will be admitted to see the show.

PRINCETON EDUCATOR PRAISES NAPOLEON (By Associated Press) NEW YORK, Dec. 23. American participation in the celebration by France of the 100th anniversary of the death of Napoleon on May 5 next was invited here Wednesday by Professor William Mul'igan Sloane, of Princeton, N. J., speaking for the French committee headed by Marshal Foch. A feature of the affair whose objects, it is stated, are "to bind up the wounds of France." will be a great, exhibition of Napoleonic relics at Malmaison, France, to which collections will be loaned from all parts of the world. Professor Sloane, who for 42 years held the chair of history at Princeton and latterly at Columbia University, said that French statesmen, soldiers., and men of law and letters as well as other professions compose the committee which is arranging the centennial. "Making all allowance for every severe criticism of Napoleon's career," he continued, "it is still true that his work unified France, saved it from partition among its foes and In civil life, prepared alike the foundation and structure of the society which in the w,orld war saved France and helped to save all western covilization. It was by his impulse and guidance that the financial credit of France was restored, that the magistracy and administration took definite shape, that the Civil Code was promulgated, the Bank of France created, the University of France modelled on that of the State of New York and the Council of State organized. "The French Committee especially desires American participation by contributions, by the loan of Napoleona from American collections and. above all, the moral support of intelligent Interest on this side of the Atlantic."

IND., THURSDAY, DEC. 23, 1920.

" T h e F a r m By WILLIAM A number of Percheron breeders are planning to put on a sale of fine draft ers, early in the year, at some point In W':.yne county, preferably in Richmond. C. L. Gilford, of Fountain City, tellstrs that the date will be fixed as soon as the auctioneer they are trying to get, can set the time when he will be free to come to Wayne for a day. It Is expected that 30 head of fine Percherons will be put up, and 20 of these already have been listed. While Richmond would be the most central and convenient shipping point, and the town most suited to attract buyers from a distance, Hagerstown is a live spot on the horse show and sale map And we must not overlook Cambridge City, a town with the "horsiest past" in Indiana, and then some. As a going concern Cambridge City is still interested in horses, but mostly as to the kind that draws crowds to race meetings. " The coming sale will be of registered stock and the catalog will be mailed to Percheron fanciers over quite a wide area. The farmer' who may prefer a Percheron to an automobile will attend the sale. Are Still Shredding. Gib Morgan has been trying to do a little shredding on the Reidston farm, hoping to get through with it when the weather man wasn't watching to douse him with rain. But It has been an uphill business, the shocks having very little chance to dry. Arthur Curme has his own shred der, and has done some shredding from time to time, as time and weather permitted, but this seemed to be an endless job, so he called in the "gang." I This reminds us that Wood Eliason I tackled the shredding on the John Wolf place, in Center township, on the last clear day, and says he has Cattle Tick Eliminated by Intensive Campaign WASHINGTON, Dec. 23. The cattle tick is fast being eliminated through the work of the department of agriculture and the co-operation of the states. Of the 15 states which were tick-infested when the work of eradication systematically began on July 1, 1906, six of them have been completely freed of the pest. These states are California, Kentucky, Mississippi, Missouri, South Carolina and Tennessee. During the year ending Dec. 1, 1920 more than 50,000 square miles were freed of ticks and since the work began in 1906, the area, released has been 510.091 square miles. That is 70 percent of the 728.565 square miles in fested with the tick when the eradication campaign began. The area remaining to be cleared comprises 218,474 square miles, all of which is in the southern states. Farm Sale Calendar Tuesday, December 28.

, s ---'.- " . , and Farmer

R. SANBORN about a two days' run to make yet, when the fodder la dry enough for the work: '. Mr. Eliason also 'remarked incidentally that he still has about 20 acres of his own corn in shock, which he hopes to be able to shred before corn planting time. - The fact is, gentlemen, that taking it by-and-large, as they say in the corn belt, shredding is quite a chore, and there is more of it yet to do in this section, than one would imagine possible so late in the year. Are Feeding Straw. A farmer chips in the information that during his threshing experience last summer, two-thirds of the straw was "blown into the barn" for winter feeding. . "This accounts for the high price of straw just now," said he. "To have a mow full of nice bright straw when it is 10 below is a mighty good proposition for the farmer and his cattle. It saves a lot of hay as a filler." Word comes from the Fountain City district that farmers have been able to secure all the corn huskers needed of late. The indications are that farm labor will be easier obtainable in the tpring, and at a lower price level than during the past two years.
