Young, colored, 27 years old. committed suicide about 3 o'clock Friday morning by shooting himself in the forehead with a 45-calibie Colt revolver. He was staying with a family named Robinson, living about three miles from Richmond, on the New Paris pike. He is said to have been in ill health. Covering himself with bed clothing and pillows. Young so muffled the report, of the revolver that others in the house did not hear the explosion. He wad not found until about 8:20 FYiday morning. Dr. S. Edgar Bond, coroner, said that the revolver was iu the fingers of the man when he found him. Young was a chauffeur for a local physician several years ago, but later went to Cleveland. O.. where he re maiued until about ;hree weeks ago He was an orphan and was taken from the orphanage and adopted by people named Young. He went by the name Edward L. Graham until that time. Mrs. Robinson, in whose home he was when he shot himself, was a daughter of the Youngs who adopted him. It is said he had asked for the revolver a couple of times during the last few weeks. The magazine of the gun was broken, but Young managed to place one cartridge in position for firing. His body has been taken to the funeral parlors of Pohlmeyer, Downing and company. WHEAT, CORN, OATS HIT NEW LOW LEVEL (By Associated Press) CHICAGO, April 1. All deliveries of wheat, corn and oats tumbled down today to new low record prices for the season. Liquidation on the part of holders developed again in the wheat market after shorts had covered at the opening and had left the market without one of the usual sources of support. The increase of bearish sentiment was ascribed in a considerable degree to nervousness regarding Eu ropean political and economic affairs, especially the British coal miners' strike. Opening prices, which varied from unchanged figures to three-fourth cent higher, with May $1.38 to $1.39 and July $1.19?i to $1.20i, were followed by moderate general gains and then by sharp breaks all around. Corn sagged with wheat. After opening a shade off to one-half cent advance, including May at 60 to 60?ic the market hardened a little more, but then descended well below yesterday's finish. Oats were depressed by the downward tendency of other cereals, starting at Uc to c up, July 40 40 c, and later scoring material losses. Lower quotations on hogs weakened provisions.

SUN-TELEGRAM, RICHMOND,

TARIFF FOR FARMERS TO AVERT DISASTER , IS URGE OF WALLACE t WASHINGTON, April 1 Protection for the farmers on an equality with manufacturers and industrial interests in any tariff policy to be decided upon and adding to any rates to be levied "an amount equal to the extra freight charges in getting products to the consuming centers." was urged Thursday night in a statement by Secretary Wallace. The "heavy additional burden" imposed on the producers by. increased freight rates, the secretary declared, "are a differential imposed upon our own producers and to the benefit of our foreign competitors." Manufacturers are "naturally and properly" laying plana to meet foreign competition in the world markets and desire a tariff to protect them against cheap foreign goods, Mr. Wallace asserted, but he insisted that the situation facing the producers "must be considered" In any tariff legislation, whether emergency or permanent. Producers, he said, are getting prices below cost of production, "not alone because of inactive business conditions at home, but becaase of the importations from competing foreign markets." Might Mean Higher Prices The nation "can not afford to permit the breaking down of its own ag riculture," the secretary continued," "even if for a time we can buy food and other farm products cheaper from some one else." At present, he said, there is a large surplus of agricultural products, but this "will not continue." because the population is! growing and consumption will catch j up with production. "We can not, under any circumstances afford to permit the present discouraging conditions to continue and result in greatly decreased production," the secretary asserted, "because that decreased production may mean exorbitantly high prices within a few years."

The Farm and The Farmer By William R. Sanborn

They are paying but 47 cents for torn and $1.30 for wheat at the elevator of the College Corner Milling company. The manager claims that their corn is in fair shape as to moisture and that it will largely grade No. 4. This is not according to reports In most of Wayne county. A lot of our corn is very moist, according to Omcr Whelan. who says that a lot of it Is running No. 5 or lower, owing to winter weather conditions, and the late snows and rains. Furthermore, farmers are paying little attention to cash corn prices at the terminal markets, or as to bid prices on car lots of the nnalllv of jv, iior n..,, . - - i . v. . . v j iir , no. ' . ; iu offer. They want more monev. at least around what actual consumers will pay. That has been his experience, at least. Low Prices for Oats With reference to local quotations on oats Mr. Whelan states that while he has been able to buy enough oats for his consuming trade, without being forced to ship in, still he has had to pay prices which of late have not allowed him to ship at any profit. For instance, he was paying 35 cents for oats on Friday morning and was bid but 37 cents for No. 3 white oats, track Richmond, by Cincinnati elevators. In such circumstances shipment was out of the question. Nor have his bids for car lots of corn been such as to warrant shipment for some time, as mere is no No. 2 corn to be had around here and not a great deal of good No. 4, and prices for sample grades are always uncertain and always lower than for a straight grade article. This does not mean that there isn't a lot of good corn in the Richmond district, for there is. It simply means that the corn is not yet in condition to grade as it will when cured out. An inspection of numerous cribs last fall insured that Wayne county had raised some of the finest corn in its history.

"If the farmers could get rid of the whole surplus it would double the price of corn and bring it up at least to the cost of production. At present the price of corn is but little more than half the cost of production. But we are not giving all of our surplus corn."

bidding farmers but 30 cents for oats on Friday and that 65 cents per hundredweight was the best they could do on corn. They claim that quite a

few oats are held in their district and j mat urmers are tar irum iiimijs present prices on grain. As to corn it is mostly being fed and is not grading very well. The speaker thought that the last car of corn they shipped graded No. 5 and that it is practically impossible to buy corn around Lynn at today's prices. They were paying $1 40 for wheat on Thursday but cut the price to $1.35 on Friday morning; also reduced corn from 70 cents to 66 cents per hundred- at the same time. Very little plowing has yet been done around Lynn, is the report, on account of too much moisture so far. Virgin Wool Against Shoddy Perhaps you didn't know that shoddy has been reworked as many as eight times. Blended with a small percentage of virgin wool or cotton to keep the rotten, short-figered stuff together it is not impossible that a percentage of our stunning new Easter suits first saw service in Uncle Sam's uniforms during Lincoln's administration. Impossible, you say? By no means. Handed down, reworked, remade into clothes, again laid aside, then resold as rags, and so on until the end. That Is the shoddy schedule. The term "all wool" means nothing, in such cases, but "virgin wool" means direct from the sheep's back. That is what the "Truth-in-Fabrics" bill stands for. That bill was firbt introduced 15 months ago; it will come early before congress for another fight, according to its supporters. It is self evident that the wool growers are not alone interested in such a measure. We all stand for good clothes when we pay fair prices. We want the kind of clothes we think we are buying. e are not interested in the filthy rags which are dumped here from Europe, in whole cargoes, no matter how they are chemically treated. New wool is the thing. Chicago Stock Selling Srhcmo re iTiiipetifrnipil 1 ... . a fBy Associated Press) CHICAGO, April 1.

SENTIMENT FAVORS ESTABLISHING CO-OP ELEVATOR IN BOSTON

BOSTON Ind.. April 1. A sentiment strongly in favor of the establishment of a co-operative elevator company in Boston, was manifested at a meeting ' held in the schoolhouse Thursday evening. The meeting had been called by stockholders of the stock company which owns the preesnt elevator, in accordance with the desires of patrons. both members and non-members of the company, for a change of management; and for the purpose of crys tallizing plans and learning the method of procedure for organizing a co operative company. For this purpose. E. G. McCullom had been secured to aaoress the meeting. He is the or ganizer of many successful co-operative elevators throughout the state, and an authority on the subject. McCullom explained in detail the new marketing plan recommended by the committee of 17. and showed how it rested upon the co-operative elevator, and that membership in such an elevator is the first step by the individual farmer to participation in the benefits. Thus, the speaker stated, the local desire for a co-operative elevator is in line with the national plan. Explains Details. He went on to explain in detail the plan of organization of a co-operative elevator, which provides for enough of the profits of operation to be retained to pay a fair rate of interest, depreciation and insurance, after which all excess nrofits are refund ea io tnose wno nave done business with the elevator, and from whose DUSiness the tirofit was maris A i-o. serve against unfavorable years i provided by leaving these patronage refunds in the hands of the company, carrying them on the books as a credit to the patron, and drawing the local rate of interest until the reserve reaches a safe figure, after which all excess profits may be refunded in cash. "You can't lose In a co-operative elevator," was one statement. "If the elevator loses money, it is because it pays you too much for your grain and charges you too little for supplies, or if it makes money and comes out with a profit, on the business it has don for you. that profit will be paid back to you." Must Do Our Work. "You must do your own business if you want it done right. Do not leave it to servants and expect them to take the same interest as you do. That !- the strength of the new plan, that all control and ownership is kept in the hands of the grain growers until it final disposition to the consumer." At the end of the meeting several pertinent questions were asked of th" speaker. One in particular referred to the possibility of the three elevators which are owned by the Farmers Xa tional Grain association, being operated by one manager. This. McCullom said, was possible provided an agreement could be made between the three co-operative associations which won'd be located at each station, and would be an economical plan as allowing fuller use of one good manager where three rnicrht be necessary otherwise. I the saving in numbers allowing a more skilful manager to be hired. However. McCullom emphasized the fact that; mere snouia De taree separate assoA ciations organized around the resp?. tive marketing centers with separat business and accounts, the only th;n? in common being the dictation by th manager of policies, and of margins for I handling grain. Although no definite action was tak en, sentiment at the eDd of the meeting seemed to be in favor of forming a co-operative association to buv ou' j the interests of the Farmers' National Grain association in the Boston elevator, the price being fixed to equal a physical valuation determined by a commission representing both bure f"f ,r' PV. maret lue f 1 the invoice at the time of salp 1 RtorW t Par "We will be willing to accept stock 01 tne rarmers National Oram asoi elation at par if offered by the cooDerative association in navment for our properties, "said Mr. Edwin Price. treasurer of the association referred i to.
