GRAIN PRICES t Furnished by E. W. WAGNER & CO, '212 Union National. Bank Building. CHICAGO, Feb. 24. Weakness in grain has been caused by weakness in cotton as a result of rumored break at Liverpool, and general depressing conditions abroad again attract much attention. Private reports indicate large March 1 farm grain reserve expected in neap future. Canada flour reported cheaper than United States. Germany said to be cutting wheat requirements by substituting corn. One hundred seventy-five thousand wheat taken by Italy and their inquiry for more brought some reaction. Believe grains will work a little lower unless good export business comes on the break. RANGE OF FUTURES Furnished by E. W. WAGNER & CO, 212 Union. National Bank -'Building. ; CHICAGO. Feb, 24.

NAMED ATTORNEY GENERAL BY HARDING

Fk r ' sC t - ;

Recent portrait of Harry M. Daugherty and photo of him taken last summer at Harding's home at Marion, O. President-elect Harding's selection of Harry M. Daugherty for the portfolio of attorney general in his cabinet is in accordance with political custom and the conjectures of political prophets. But it was neither of these influences which caused Harding to name him to the post. Daugherty has been a warm personal friend and a political adviser of Harding's for twenty-five years. It was Daugherty who induced liardine to seek the presidency and then successfully managed his pre-con vention campaign.

TAXES NOT AFFECTED BY ARMORY BENN Officers of the national guard company that is in the process of formation in Wayne county, are particularly J anxious that the matter be placed be fore the people in its true light. Information that special taxes will be assessed if the contemplated armory is built in Richmond, are erroneous, according to Frank Benn, who has been especially active in the forming of the Richmond company. He states that the taxes will be levied just the same whether the armory is built in Richmond or some other place, and that it is assured that a national guard company will be formed in Wayne county. The armory and national guard proposition is being presented to all the civic! organizations. Action has not been taken by all of them. Enlistments are being made, officials state. Commute Death Penalties on Egyptian Society (By Associated Press) CAIRO, Feb. 24. Seven death sentences imposed by the court here last October on members of the "vengeance gang," an alleged anti-British society, have been commuted to 15 years In prison. Among those who were sentenced to death was Abdul Rhamen Bey, former provisional governor.

- LACK OF CONFIDENCE IN HORSE INDUSTRY REFLECTED AT SALE The high price of $280. paid at the Percheron sale in the Coliseum Wed nesday, for Wood Eliason's stallion "Carmar" a ron of the noted "Carnot" was a surprise to all attending the sale. Uncertainty as to the future of the horse industry was a common explanation among the farmers at the sale for the low bids and lack of eag erness for purchases. The noticeable fact that there were few foreign buyers present, was men tioned also by some as a reason for slow bidding. Noblesville, Ind., and Cincinnati, O., were the farthest dis tricts represented among the buyers neither of which cities is as far dis. tant from Richmond as one City, South Charleston, O., from which horses were brought for this sale. Carmar Sale Disappointing. The sale of Carmar had been ex pected to furnish the feature of the 00 casion and it had boen reserved until the most favorable time. Bidding was slow and uninteresting, however, and he was finally bid in by John Sutton of Noblesville, at $280. "Colonel Ted dy," another stallion, probably second in favor only to "Carmar" before the sale, brought only $207.50 from A. Den. nis, of Hagerstown. Some high prices of the sale were $260 by Walter Fuighum of Richmond for C. L. Gifford's black mare "Baby Jane;" $240 paid by William Flcfsch of Boston for one of the mares offered by Merritt Roberts of South Charleston, O., and $530 for a team also offered by Roberts. Chole, the first mare sold, brought $225 which was paid by Raymond Forest, of Richmond. Dollins Starts Sale. Auctioneering at the beginning of the sale was by J. W. Dollins of Portland, who was relieved by Dusty Miller of Rushville when the sale was about half over. The sale wound up with Reitz of Eaton, on the stand. The first horse was led into the ring at 1 o'clock, and the sale was finished at 4:30. The Young Men's Business club had rented the Coliseum for the occasion and a floor had been laid in the shape of a "T" with the auctioneer's stand at the broad end and the other end used for displaying the horses. The boards which had been laid down were covered with shavings. The sale opened with all spectators seated around the floor space, but by the time it was half over, they had swarmed down on to the floor itself and bids were taken from the crowds standing around the horses. Bidding, slow at the start, livened considerably as the sale progressed, but fell off again towards the end as many drifted out of the building. The Coliseum was well filled during the first part of the sale but about half of the crowd numbering those who did not have an immediate interest in the proceedings, left before the last horse was led in. Expect Many Indictments in Gotham Police Prohe (By Associated Press) NEW YORK, Feb. 24. Indictments against six members of the police department and one other man in connection with the expose of police grafting on the owners of stolen automobiles, were expected to be announced after special assistant District Attorney Charles S. Whitman had appeared before the grand jury today with a collection of new evidence. One of those mentioned in connection with the evidenoe was said to be a man holding an important position at police headquarters. Some of the others against whom the former governor planned to ask affidavits already have figured in the investigation, it was said. Several members of the automobile squad already are under indictment. Unique Hydroplane Bears Royal Guests HAVANA, Feb. 24. A unique hydroplane bearing the name of "Big Fish," constructed to represent a shark, arrived here from West Palm Beach, Fla., today. The nine passengers in cluded the wife of Orestes Ferrara, a prominent Liberal party leader and former speaker of the Cuban chamber of deputies, at present residing in New York, and the Marquis de Ecquilache (Prince Alfonso of Bourbon), a cousin of King Alfonso of Spain.

The Farm and The Farmer by William R. Sanborn

Perhaps you have not been aware that there is an International Turkey club? But you need lose no sleep on that account. There are so many things to learn that even the wise men known as editors do not actually know everything; which is, of course, a great pity. The secretary-treasurer of the Inter national Turkey club, is, as might be expected, a woman, for surely no liv ing farmer has the skill and patience to care for and coddle young ponets. Morover this lady is a farmer's wife, and she is said to make more net profit on her crop of Thanksgiving turkeys than her husband clears on his grain. She has done this for years. Mrs. Rea E. Fowler, the lady in question, lives near Rochllle, 111. Bronze turkeys are her specialty and she gives the standard weight of toms as 36 pounds at two years old or over. She says that turkeys weighing up to 57 pounds are "freaks," and that extra large birds, either hens or toms, are 1 unsatisfactory, as breeders and she warns new turkey raisers against their use. . Six Standard Breeds. The American standard of perfection recognizes but six varieties of domestic turkeys. These are the bronze; black, red, slate, bourbon. White Holland and Naraganseth. All are valuable birds but the great American bronze is the most widely grown. The turkey laying season usually opens the last week in March or the first week in April, depending somewhat on the warmth of the weather. The hen lays from 15 to 20 eggs at the first laying "and if shut up for a few days can be made to furnish a second or even a third laying, but the third laying would usually be too late for the hatch to grow to full size by fall. According to Frank Rldgeway in the Chicago Sunday Tribune, Mrs. Fowler hatches her turkey eggs in an incubator, but she says: "The turkey hen is the only successful means of brooding the young ponets." All right how does she get her brooding done? She keeps a few china eggs under the hen turkey. When the young turkeys arrive she "slips a couple of tlf;ni under the hen turkey's wing at night and by morning she will own all you may give her." This may also be don.e where the poults have been hatched by a chicken. Turkey eggs sold at $1 to $1.50 in do eTbuteach. IleeTs a cale whe're it is the first tost, as wen as me up-1 keep, which counts. It takes 28 days to hatch turkey eggs. The pouiia must be kept under shelter until the grass is dry. Each hen has a separate coop and the youngsters come and go at will after being let out in the mornings on favorable days. Average Price of Hcqs. St. Louis, Indianapolis, Cleveland and Louisville each had a top of $10 for hogs last Saturday. East Buffalo j was the highest of the 13 markets quoted. the top being $11. Pittsburgh ?n jmr; .nn n-hiii. sinnv . w . " ' " . ' City, the cheapest market of the en tire group, did not sell a hog at over 19. All of this is preliminary to tue. "l "v ' .
