CANCELLED CONTRACT RUMORS AID BEARS IN CHICAGO MARKET (By Associated P.-ess.) CHICAO, Jan. 22. Severe declines in the wheat market this week have been accompanied by much talk of reporters trying to re-sell and about untoward business conditions in Europe. Compared with a week ago wheat this morning was down 12 to 15 cents a bushel. Corn lower 6 to 6, oats off 4c to 4 and provisions 15 to 80c. Bears obtained control of the wheat market chiefly after gossip became current that Italy had cancelled some of her contracts for wheat bought in the United States. Notwithstanding asserions that the amounts were small, belief spread that European reselling might be a big factor if Argen tina began to ship freely. Great interests therefore centered in a question which today was still undetermined whether Argentine would omit a proposed export duty on wheat, the point being that such action would tend to shift European demand to Argentina from the United States. Subsequently, inquiries for a large amount of wheat wanted for Portugal rallied Hie market, somewhat but the effect vanished when it was said that six months' credit had been asked for. Corn Receipts Liberal. Big receipts of corn exercised a bearish influence on the corn market and upon oats as well. Both cereals touched the lowest price level since 1916. Provisions weakened in line with grain and hogs. NEW YORK, Jan. 22. The net result of an active week in the stock market was distinctly favorable to the bears. Prices of leading shares and many speculative shares tending substantially under maximum quotations of the previous fortnight. Industrial developments which continued to chronicle an expansion of wage reductions and further curtailment of production in leading branches of manufacture were among the deterrent factors.

BETTER BUSINESS METHODS, BETTER FARM ORGANIZATIONS URGED BY BROWN AT MILTON

' MILTON, Ind., Jan. 22. Better business methods through better farm organization were emphasized to Washington township farmers by JohniG Brown, president of the Indiana Farm Federation, Friday night. ; . .y. The Washington township association made Mr. Brown's presence the occasion of a special program with his speech as the principal feature. A saxaphone solo by Dwlght Brown, with Miss Naomi Spire at the piano, and a song by Harry Doty, accompanied by Mrs. Doty, provided the musical part of the program. Introduced by Crawford. Mr. Brown, Introduced by Earl Crawford, chairman of the township association and member of the legislative committee of the Indiana federation, showed himself familiar with farm conditions and early hardships In a few minutes of autobiographical reminiscence. "I remember the ox-team, and 1 have seen the development of the airplane," he said. "When I was a boy, we spun the wool, or at least, my mother did, and it was woven and made up into clothing at home or at nearby mills. Our grain also, was ground at the mill down on the banks of the river. Two-Thirds on Farms. "At that time two-thids of the population of the country was on the farms, and what immigrants we had settled in isolated communities, which we called Swened. Germany, or any other name applicable to their nationality. "Later, as more immigrants came over our industries were more developed and they settled in the cities. The farmers also began to get jobs in the factories. Then the businesses found it necessary to combine in order to prevent selling below the cost of production, or producing beyond the demand. Then the laboring classes did the same, and organized to protect themselves. Farmer Unorganized. "All this time the farmer was unorganized and was leaving the farm for the factories. Then the war came on and caught us unprepared. The government went out to the factories and gave them "cost-plus" contracts the cause of many of our present ills. The larger the cost, the more the profit; and waste and extravagance were encouraged. Labor, also seeing that capital was "getting while the getting was good," started out on the same tactics and insisted on higher wages and shorter hours as well. "Meanwhile the farmer sent more to the army than any other class, and yet was asked to produce as much or more than he had done before, but he buckled his belt tighter and did it. Yet he got no special consideration in the way of prices or legislation. Value of Organization. "It is said that we did have a guaranteed price on wheat. That is true, but we know that when the price was fixed at $2.26 a bushel, it was bringing over $3 in the market. I happened to be advisor to the food administration, and I believe an incident of that wheat price fixing taught us more about the value of organi zation than anything since. "On the wheat price committee, la- j bor insisted on flour being kept cheap j enough so that bread would sell for five cents a loaf. They demanded through their representative Mr. Sul- j livan, that the price be kept down to $1.25 a bushel for wheat. The farmers were asking for $2.50. Finally 1 Sullivan, asking permission to present ' labor's case, spoke for a full two hours and at least as he finished, said, 'Mr. Chairman, I demand lhat you comply with our demands within 30 minutes or I'll walk down to the telegraph station and send telegrams to the labor union officials that will stop the wheels of industry all over the whole country.' " j Funk Speaks. I There was a dismayed silence, until Eugene Funk, prominent farmer, of Illinois, at last rose and remarked quietly, "Mr. Chairman, I wish to be considered as having said the same thing as Mr. Sullivan, except that the words 'farm association officials.' and 'agriculture' should be substituted." I will reserve the right to walk down to the station, with Mr. Sullivana, under OUT OF THE RACE When a person wakes up with a stiff back, has pains in muscles, aches in his joints, or has rheumatic twinges, he lacks ambition and energy and cannot do his best. If you feel out of the race, tired and languid, or have other symptoms of kidney trouble, you should act promptly.

the same umbrella, (it was raining) and send my telegrams at the same time." , ..' ; Sullivan sat quietly for a while, then asked, "Have you really got an organization as strong as that?" , "We have," Funk replied, and In half ant hour $2.25 had been allowed as the price. After the conference was over, Funk said to us: "Well, that's the most strenuous two hours I ever had. The bluff worked this time, but My God, men, lets go home and organize ! " Farmers Not Consulted. "The fact that we are allowed nothing to say as to the price we get Is proof that we are not be blamed for the high costofliving. We are the only producers who are not consulted as to the prices for our products. "When we ship our stock it is out of oirr hands and we can sit on the fence and whittle while a commission merchant without a dollar invested in it sells it to the buyer, it is weighed and a check handed out to us with the freight, yardage commission and other charges already deducted. If they don't get enough, it is their own fault, since they have first chance at our money. "Our grain prices too. are fixed In Chicago by the speculators. Nor have we anything to sy about what shall be charged as the final price of our products. We are like the rabbits for which the negro was trapping with a trap open at both ends, they catch us both 'comin' and gwine. Want Prosperity. "We are not organized now for destructive purposes, however. We do not wish to drag other businesses down to our level, but to lift ourselves to the same prosperity that they enjoy. We want to improve our business methods and are doing it. We used to sell individually, now we are combined in the communities into co-operative elevators, and are working to combine the elevators of the state. If we can control a large fraction of the grain, we can control the priced. We only want a square deal and we can only get it by organizing. "Even the housewives in the cities have been ahead of us. I have seen them spend $50 for a fur neckpiece to wear around their throats in July, then go home to their parlors to a meting of the housewives' league, and pledge themselves to boycott butter and eggs till they came down below the cost of production. It is the same with our stock and grain. Blamed for High Cost. "We are blamed for the high cost of living because we are getting more than pre-war prices (or have been; we are not now). Yet if we gave away our livestock, prices of meat could not go back to pre-war prices. Nor could a baker make a loaf to sell at five cents now, if he were given the flour. "These comparisons of prices remind me of the Iowa farmer who got a check for $11.80 in payment for two cowhides: He gave it to his daughter to buy some shoes with. When she came back with, the shoes, she said. "Father, the check wasn't quite enough. The shoes cost $12 and I had Lowest Price for Quality Merchandise Our Chief Attraction THE GRAND LEADER

How Much Do You Save If You Don't Advertise Your PUBLIC SALE

One of eastern Indiana's best known auctioneers recently told a Palladium man that in a sale he cried this season one man increased the price of a certain article $250. That man did not live in the neighborhood where the sale was held, and he learned of the sale by seeing it advertised in the Palladium. The Palladium advertising for that particular sale cost the sale holder less than $25. Suppose he had tried to "save" by not advertising! He would have had $25 more in one pocket and $250 LESS in another! His loss probably would have been greater than that, because it is a certainty that his advertising brought other buyers to the sale who boosted the prices of other things. What are YOU going to do when yo i hold YOUR sale? Are you going to try to "save" by no! advertising, and have a crowd composed entirely of people from your ow.i neighborhood, many of whom attend merely from curiosity? Or Are you going to invest some money in Palladium advertising so that every prospective buyer in eastern Indiana and western Ohio will know about your sale, many of whom will attend because they want to buy? IT'S YOUR SALE! Why Not Make It A Success?

to give 20 cents more The father looked at the shoes a moment, then asked: "Daughter, is it possible that you are wearing more than a cowhide on each foot?" "Our organization has more than business problems to solve, however. We have committees working on livestock and grain and vegetable marketing and may have a dairy committee soon. We must prepare to look after the social and educational aspects as well. We must have better schools in the country, consolidated schools if necessary, and rural high schools in isolated communities. Such high schools might draw pupils from town instead of as at present, city schools drawing country pupils. It is easily conceivable that city parents might wish to send their children into the country to get them away from city influences." Crawford Speaks. After Brown finished, Crawford, referring to the social and educational problems mentioned by the speaker, said, "These problems are in the women's province, they will have to frolve them or give us a great deal of help in doing it, and we'd like to have them as members to work with us. At the last director's meeting it was decided to admit the women on a membership fee of $1 and we hope they will join up tonight. There is much work that thty can do better than we
