DISPUTE ABILITY OF LITTLE SUB CHASERS . r,, . . . ...m,v,iv,. . "--. Detween tne navy and the department of 'commerce regarding the seaworthi ness of the little 110 foot submarine chasers, which played an important part in driving the Cerman subma rines from the seas, has finally engager the attention of Secretaries Dan- i iels and Alexander. The steamboat inspection service of the commerce department has refused in one or two cases, it is said, to grant certificates to the 110 foot boats, i Without the certificates the boats are useless for commercial and pleasure purposes. Naval officials have pleaded the cause of the little vessels and have argued without avail, that of 300 of them In service during the war, of which many crossed the Atlantic, not one was lost through unseaworthiness, although they saw arduous duty in the Atlantic, the North sea, the Fediterranean and as for north as Archangel. Yesterday Secretary Daniels and a number of his aides called an Secretary Alexander and told him the circumstances. He promised to look into the matter. The navy has 300 of these little boats for sale and the action of the inspectors, it was said, is retarding their Eale. PRESIDENT OF CHILE CONSIDERS JOURNEY SANTIAGO, Chile, Feb. 12 Reports that President Alessandri would visit Argentina and Brazil within the next sixty days for the purpose of promotnig noum American amiiy were ais credited in semi-official circles here last evening. Tho president has contemplated such a visit for some time, however, and rerently reaffirmed his desire to make the journey as soon as affairs of state permitted. In quarters close to the executive it was stated that problems now facing the country would probably compel the postponement of his visit to the Atlantic seaboard for some months. There have been rumors that the president might continue his journey from Brazil to the United States. It is known President Alessandri has been closely studying Chile's International relations and assertions have been made that important developments regarding the forty year old dispute with Peru might be expected in the near future. A series of conferences have been held at the foreign ministry during the past few days, and the meetings have been attended by the president, the forein minister and various members of the diplomatic service now in Chile on leave. It is asserted that the shaping of the government's foreign policy particularly South American relations, has been discussed. Daniels and Meredith Buy "Cabinet Seats - (By Associated Press) WASHINGTON, Feb. 12. Secretaries Daniels and Meredith are to retain their "cabinet seats" permanently. They have arranged today to purchase the chairs which they have occupied each Tuesday in the cabinet room at the white house and plan to move them to their homes after March 4 as souvenirs of their service under President Wilson. Formely the chairs were sold for about $65, but these are days of higher prices and the two cabinet officers are understood to have paid more than $100 each for the chairs. Secretary Baker has contented himself with removing the brass nameplate from the back of his chair. He paid $4.50 for the plate. Oregon House Passes Soldier Relief Bill (By Associated Press) SALEM, Ore.. Feb. 12.

Indiana Livestock Report Shows Farm Animals Decreasing Rapidly

By W. R. SANBORN The comparative figures for 1920 and 1921 which follow, both compiled at the same time of the year, give a true picture of the decline In livestock than do the United States census figures for 1910 and 1920. (The 1920 figures, taken Jan, 1, exclude spring increases, while the April 1910 census included stock arriving in the spring). Being taken at the same time of the year, the statistics given here can be more fairly compared than can the census figures. National census figures show a livestock decrease from the 1910 census which is almost exactly duplicated or 1 somewhat exceeded by these figures for the past year, indicating a loss great enough in 1920 to wipe out a large part of the normal growth of the livestock industry during the past 10 years. Includes All Classes According to the Indiana state census figures for 1920, all classes of livestock show a considerable decrease in numbers compared with a year ago. Horses and mules have decreased two per cent, milk cows one per cent, all other cattle and i swine show a decrease of eight per 1 cent, and sheep 10 per cent, the total 1 decrease in meat animals being 535,.000 head. The report follows: i Horses and mules on Jan. 1. 1921, , show a decrease of two per cent com- , pared with la3t year, the estimated number of horses being ' 788,000 and muies j,uuu; tne numbers last yetr were estimated at 804,( 000 horses and 95,000 mules. The family driving horse has been almost entirely sup planted by the automobile, while trucks and tractors have to some ex tent displaced the work animals. A severe decline in the price of horses also influenced farmers to stop breed inK tneir mares The average value of horses dropped $11 per head during the year and i the total value of all horses and colts 1 The Farm By WILLIAM At the second annuatmeeting of the Wayne County Poland China Breeders' association, held at the Centerville town hall on Wednesday, February 9, plans were laid for a whaling big pig club and hog thow thi.i year. The Poland China men have decided to advertise their plans and to print an entry blank in thoir copy for the convenience of the farm children who desire to feed a purebred pig for exhibit and sale net fall. The attendance was fairly large and represented tho largest and best known breeders of the Big Type black hog. One of the objects of the meeting was the presentation of the official reports on the business of the past year, also the election of offices for the ensuing 12 months. All Officials Reelected. T?ntnfinn in nffirn wns tho Klnfran , nf th rptirinr nffi,- Th.v'-. in j tavor of giv ing every member a show to share the Rory of office hoi(jn. also the duties and responsibiliti and es of such promotion. But there list of ambitious candidates. was no Far difforent indeed. The idea that he old officials had so satisfactorily served that they were entitled to reelection was the unanimous opinion and that is exactly what happened. Seven members constitute the official board as follows: Wood Eliason, president; Ros; Kramer, vice president; Porter Pike, secretary, and Walter B. Fulghum. treasurer. KrHnk A. Williams. Lewis Kinsey and Ott Crownover are the members of the I executive committee. The whole bunch are pushers and very man of them a Poland China enthusiast. They may be relied upon to push the interest of the breed and to assist their farm friends in the building up of purebred herds. This is sound doctrine, simply as a market proposition, and regardless of registration. As every hogman is aware, breeders have suffered heavily because of the decline in market hogs. Their losses came in large chunks, hundreds of dollars frequently on a single animal and a small fortune on a sale herd of fifty head. This condition will finally right itself, on a legitimately profitable EGG MARKET SLUMP SEEN IN GREENVILLE GREENVILLE, 0., Feb, 12. In conjunction with the reported price siumps over the entire country, the bottom has fallen out of the egg market in Greenville. The market closed Tuesday night with buyers offering the producers 32 cents a dozen, and on Wednesday a drop of 12 cents was marked, with farmers receiving 20 cents a dozen, and local grocers receiving 25 cents per dozen retail. This is the lowest price paid for eggs for many years. On one occasion last year the price dropped to 27 cents wholesale, but advanced again the same day. A local poultry and egg wholesale house is reported to have lost over $5,000 on the price slump, and other dealers are predicting that consumers will be able to purchase eggs at the groceries for 15 cents per dozen within a week. In addition to the fact that the mild weather has made hens lay more, it has been noted that nearly all farmers in -Darke" county are raising more chickens than ever before, which accounts for the over supply on the local market. Frist Divorce Suit Opens in Wayne Circuit Court Trial of the divorce suit of Paul Frist against Anabelle Frist was started in Wayne circuit court Saturday morning. The young couple were married in 1916 and separated last August. Both principals are asking for the custody of the child, Barbara Jane, three years old. ) The original complaint charges adultery, this is denied and a cross complaint charging cruel and inhuman treatment and non-support was filed. The kings of Norway, Sweden and Denmark are now the only foreign sovereigns who are honorably admirals in the British navy.

IND SATURDAY, FEB. 12, 1921.

in the state is estimated at $69 ;408,00C The average value of mules declined approximately $18 per head and the total value of mules and mule colU is estimated at $9,882,000 The decrease in the number of milk cows on farms Jan. 1. 1921.. is only 1 per cent compared with last year, which is the first time a decrease has been shown for many years. The total estimated number is 727,000, while last year it was ,734,000. The average value is $63 this year compared with $88 last year or a decrease of $23 per head. The total value J all milk cows is estimated at $47,255,000. The number of all other cattle on farms Jan. 1, 1921, decreased eight per cenL This includes all cattle except cows kept for dairy purposes and the total number is about 710,000. Last year the number was placed at 772,000. Thi3 large decrease is due principally to the severe decline in prices, which amounts to $21 per head for mature cattle, $12 per head for yearlings and $8 per head for calVes. The total value of other cattle this year is estimated at $30,930,000. Ten Per Cent Sheep Decrease. The number of sheep and lambs on i farms Jan. 1, 1921, is lOper cent less than the same date last year, the total number being 960,000, compared with 1,067,000 last year. The average value is a little more than $5 per head less than last vear and the total estimated value is $6,700,000. Lambs decreased' in value $3.40 per head; ewes $5.70; wethers $4.80 and rams $6.50. The number of swine on farms Jan. 1, 1921, was eight per cent less than last year, total number being estimated at 4,209,000, compared with 4,575,000 last year. Had a census of brood sows been taken a much greater decrease would have been shown for that class of swine. The average value this year was $13 per head, while last year it was $19. or a decrease of $6. On this, basis the total value of all swine is piaced at $54,717,000. and Farmer I R. SANBORN basis for all classes of purebred stock are to be in constantly increasing de mand. The scrub must finally be eliminated and is on his way. Treasurer Fulghum reported a balance of $110 in tha treasury and the affairs of the association in a -flourishing condition. Wayne As a Hog Center. The Wayne district harbors some very fine herds of hogs of the most notable breeds. Men with vision are intent on having Richmond recognized as the center of choice hog production and to have that fact advertized for the benefit of the breeders of the various types. This idea was discussed at the Poland China meeting on Wednesday. Agricultural and live stock papers having wide circulation in the hog districts of the corn belt, will doubtless be used, later on. MILD WINTER FACTOR IN UPTURN OF WHEAT MARKET DURING WEEK (By Associated Press) CHICAGO, Feb. 12. Apprehension expressed regarding threatened pairment of tho winter wheat crop has been largely responsible for notable upturns in the wheat market this week. Compared with a week ago, wheat pricestoday showed 9?4c to 13c, advance, corn was up 2c to 3c andj oats 2Uc to 234S2"8e. On the other hand provisions were down 85c to I $1.50. Indications that an unusually widespread area in the southwest had been more or less affected by the insect pest know as the green bug formed the basis for misgivings about crop damase. Comoetent authorities saiil the progress of winter wheat would de-

pend on weather conditions during the'ij

next six weeks, with maximum injury probable if temperatures in the southwest were low only a little above freezing. Much talk was likewise current that from this time onward the chief factor in establishing values would bo domestic conditions instead of foreign. Unwillingness which growers displayed toward selling was the subject of particular comment. Bears yesterday, however, made much of predictions of a larger crop movement coming, especially in North Dakota. NEW YORK. Feb. 12. Trading in the stock market this week dwindled to slender dimensions, the turn-over for the five full sessions being the highest for any corresponding period in almost half a year. l'rice movements were of a piece with these stagnant conditions, only a . vi me fcpecuiairve iavomes. re - i- .t i . . L-uruing more in a a nominal cnanges. Invesement rails were almost entirely neglected, but developed moderate heaviness later on the refusal of the United States railroad labor board to reduce wages. Exchange Little Better. Foreign exchange was again subjected to the bewildering cross currents resulting from latest aspects of the German indemnity agreement. British exchange approximated its recent high level, but taking international remittances as a whole little progress towards stability was made. Railroad returns and the tonnage and financial statements of companies' engaged in important lines of manufacture testify that business and industry are reviving slowly and unevenly.

GUM BILL GREATER THAN SCHOOL COST, SAYS W. S. FOGARTY "As much money is spent for chewing gum as for our schools," said W. S. Fogarty, Preble county superintendant of schools, discussing "Are Our Schools Costing Too Much?" at the Campbellstown farmers' institute Friday. . "If we spent' annually as much on the schools as we do on tobacco," continued Mr. Fogarty, we could double the teachers' salaries and could have the finest buildings and most modern equipment. In these times when we are economizing, the place to begin is not with the schools. Instead of their costing too much, we are not spending as much as we profitably could on them." The institute was held in the Camp bellstown Christian church. Music was furnished for the morning session byi the Jackson township schools. For the evening the management had secured Runge's orchestra of Richmond. Evening Speakers. Addresses by Mrs. Thomas Tierce and J. L. Buchanan were features of the program, and in the evening, E. E.
