The news la of a bullish nature on renewal of export demand and European war talk. Minneapolis received deliveries of 33.000 wheat and locally 50,000 went to store. Kansas City says 150,000 cash wheat is sold to come here. Country offerings of corn have dried up, but liberal receipts should continue for a week or ten days. Weather prospects favorable for farm work and the new crop. Favor purchases on good dips. Looks like these levels should hold over night. RANGE OF FUTURES Furnished by E. W.

'Well, I see the federal farm loans

are back, aren't they?" is the greeting that N. G. McKinley, secretary- j treasurer of the local farm loan as sociation says he receives whenever he meets a farmer on the street, since the announcement of the Bupreme court decision that the law establishing the federal farm loan bank is constitutional. "Forty farmers have been watching for this decision, asking me about it, and have spoken for immediate loans," said McKinley. "We have jso.uuu oi loans pending, waiting this decision, which will be closed now as soon as possible. Many others have been waiting for the decision to make application, and we expect their applications within the next half year. This association is prepared for, and expects, a $250,000 business this year." May Aid Retailers. "The opening of the loans again will enable many farmers to put in improvements that they have been neglecting the last year or two because they did not believe it good business to pay the high interest charges that prevailed. I, myself, know of several who have put off improvements and who have refused to spend money for new machinery rather than go in debt at the high rates which were being charged. The decision of the court which will make farm loans again available, will be reflected in better sales by the businesses dealing with the farmers." The local association, which belongs to the Louisville, Ky., or fourth Federal Land Bank, district, comprises Wayne, Fayette, Union and Randolph counties. It was formed April 5, 1919. The loans which have been held up by the test suit brought against the constitutionality of the law, instituted by the farm mortgage bankers of the country, are on farms in Wayne and Union counties. The officers of the association are president, William B. Barton, living on the Middleboro pike; vice-president, Alpheus I j. Baldwin, Webster; secretarytreasurer, N. G. McKinley; directors and loan committee, Arthur Palmer, Richmond; Albert Carman, Webster; and J. Verne Snodgrass, Centerville. All these officials except McKinley are, or were recently, living on farms, find lhose who live in town are still managing their farms. Mwait runner instructions.

Cloth of all kinds and description interwoven with the roots, also bits of bones, leather, rubber and buttons were found in the sprouts of nursery stock fruit trees which arrived today from France. The trees were evidently grown on the battlefields of France, and in the roots of one of the sprouts was a strip of blood stained bandage. One of the trees had grown from the seed through the link of a large watch chain. CHAMP CLARK (Continued from Page One.) was one of the notable addresses of that congress.

He welded the minority into a virtual Democratic unit when he was minoity leader, and after the ousting of Cannon, which robbed the speakership of many of its powers, he divided with majority leader Underwood the control of the Democrats in the house and they formed a great working team.

In addition to this feature, the present rate of interest on them is attractive, being four and one-half percent, which may be raised to five percent, it is predicted by some bank officials, when the bonds are again put on the market this spring. The bonds are issued in as low as $25 amounts, which make , them available as a means of investment for the general PUDIIC. The long time maturity feature of the bonds also makes them an attractive investment, according to McKini r-ri a. j. i . a I

"The price of money in the open market is 62 percent, or more now," said McKinley, "and in addition a commission for finding the money, is charged, which amounts to never less than 2 percent, and on up to 5 per cent. Also, most of these loans are renewaibe every five years while the federal loan lasts for 40 years, though it may be paid off any time after five years, at the option of the borrower. The fact that, since the system was inaugurated, there have been no cases of defaulted interest payments, is proof that the terms are easy enough for all to meet them without difficulty, even in the period of depression we have been having." ENROLL STALLIONS, URGE OF SECRETARY LAFAYETTE, Ind., March 2. "All stallion owners should get their horses enrolled before March 15," says R. B. Cooley, secretary of the stallion enrollment board of Indiana. "We are glad to say that the number of new enrollments and renewal enrollments of stallions offered for public service throughout the state, exceeds this year the number at the corresponding time last year. This indicates that stallion owners are looking ahead and paying more attention to the early preparation for their business."

The total of 356 exhibits, covering 130.000 square feet of floor space, showed the mulMnlieitv were represented by agents and dealers. There was a ereat dismlav rf tractor-drawn implements, most of which are being standardized to suit the new power appliances. Why They Root and Root. According to Professor Evaard, of Iowa State college, hogs do not root simply to be doing something. They are digging for protein, and you simply need to Berve them sufficient nmtein Evaard says they root up sod to get xne gruos which are found directly under the pod. In an experient a lot of pigs which were fed only corn and Fan wnue on blue grass pasture were great rooters, while a bunch with tankage supplied in their rations did not root. Making Money Co operatively. The editor of Farm Life, at Spencer, Ind., throws a sidelight on local mutual or co-operative societies, as follows: "You still hear people savine that. I farmers can't stick together. Yet there is a littje co-operative group of farmers right here in Farm Life's home own, known as The Farmers' Supply Company, that started in business with 11 nothing, six or seven years ago, and 515,000 and reports a business of well -. ...... v . . w . v . . above Sixty thousan1 dollars for '1919. It was a purely mutual concern, found ed by members of a Local of the Farmers' Union. It has been incorporated for ten thousand dollars, and now the stock pays seven per cent, dividends and sells at fifty per cent, above par." After reading our recent talk on the virtues of Sudan grass, a young Center township farmer arose to remark that he "had ?uch good results from broadcasting 20 pounds of seed to the acre last year that he would consider itj i wasteful to sow 35 to 40 pounds, as s-ome seed growers advise." Next. Home-Made Graftinq Wax. If -;u intend doing a little grafting this sprine. and wish to make a firstclass grafting wax here Is the proper way to do it. Take four pounds of resin, one pound of tallow and two pounds of either beeswax or paraffin, the latter being as good as beeswax, and much cheaper. Melt until thoroughly mixed, and then pour it into a pail of cold water. When sufficiently cooled to handle, grease the hands with tallow and pull the mixture just as you would taffy. Then make it into sticks or balls and pet away in a cool place, where it cannot melt. w Pure-Bred Statistics. In the taking of the 1920 census an attempt was made to ascertain the number of pure-bred animals on American farms. When these reports are complete they will comprise an interesting and valuable chapter to tiie story the census told. This new departure in l'-e stock enumeration will especially interest breeders but the average farmer also can study the j ligures with profit. i The summaries so far available I

H ow 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 own 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?

There is an Impending outbreak of chinch bugs in Indiana, according to a statement by Prof. J. J. Davis, head of the entomology department of Purdue university. Stating that the average annual crop loss from insects in Indiana is $10 for every man, woman and child, or $30,000.000 for the state, Davis says: "The grower should not wait until the insect is out and destroying his crops but should learn of his problems, which are largely dependent on cropping, farm methods and locations, and should plan accordingly. Thus, there is now an impending outbreak of chinch-bugs in Indiana, the preven tion of which may be accomplished in some localities by burning them in their winter quarters. White grubs, cut-worms and wireworms are always to be found in greater or less abundance in newly plowed sod land and the usual precautions should be taken in cropping such land, and remedies applied so far as possible before planting crops. "Specimens of such insects as appear at irregular and unexpected intervals should be sent immediately to the Department of Entomology, Agricultural Experiment Station, Lafayette, Indiana, in a container that will not be crushed in the mail, and with address of the sender attached to the specimen or package, for identification. This department is always ready J to examine insects and to prescribe remedies when needed." Haag Washing Machines Metal and Wood Tub Dennis Implement Co. 15-17 S. 7th St.
