WEBSTER TOWNSHIP FARMERS CONSIDER COMMUNITY BUILDING WEBSTER, ind., April 13. Strong desire for a community building for this neighborhood was manifested at a meeting or the township farmers association Thursday night. The buildiug committee which had been appointed at the last meeting to investigate costs and plans, reported a cofct of approximately $2,000 for the material alone, for a building 40 by 70 feet, 26 by 60 in the clear inside, with a height in the center of 19 feet, and provided with a stage at ono end that would ( have a depth of ten feet, with a ten foot square dressing room at each end of the stage. There was much uncertainty as to whether many of the citizens outside the farmers association desire a community building, and as to whether the proposed building would be acceptable to all. In consequence, as it is proliosed to build the hall by popular subscription, it was decided to leave further action until the next meeting, when everybody interested will be urged to be present, to give opinions on the building plans, aJid as to whether It Is necessary or desirable at this time to proceed with construction, or to make plans and be ready When construction costs are lower. Opinions Divided. Cards will be sent out statins the object of the next meeting and inviting those interested, either for or against lo be present. Opinion was somewhat divided Thursday night, several stating that this is an inopportune time for construction, others desiring immediate action, while there was even ome uncertainty whether a hall would T)e desired by the township at all. The purchasing committee reported that 38 tons of fertilizer had bAen bought through the Federated Marketing Service with entire satisfaction, at a price of $21.60 for 16 per cent acid. The county agent advised that the price has since declined to $20 and a refund could be obtained from the state office. The county agent spoke after the business meeting, warnily commending Webster township for the showing it had made at the exhibit of school work 1n the county superintendent's office, Webster having had the best exhibit of Wayne county. He asked for cooperation in club work which embodies instruction in every day problems, a does tho domestic science instruction of the schools. The hog breeders of the township have enrollment cards for the pig clubs and would try to enlist Interest In that work. May Form Corn Clubs. Corn clubs also may be formed. Dolan stating that with several groups of boys such as had enrolled in the corn judging schools of Boston and Conterville institutes, it would be easily possible to put on a better corn show with the boys exhibits than had ben held in Richmond tills winter by ih.Mr father?. Announcement was made of a meeting of the county breeders association n Onterville on April 27 to discuss n hog show for this year, and all ini ccted invited to be present. Entertainment for the evening was p-rvided by a stereopticon showing of n-Vtures of France, including pictures of the A. 15. F. agricultural school at Villarey, by the president of the association, Horatio King, who "was an instructor in the school. I The Farm and 1 The Farmer I By William R. Sanborn f v It being "always darkest just before dawn" we may reasonably hope for an upturn in prices of grain and live stock. As to grain the lower it goes the smaller the support, apparently. Present low prices are nothing short of a national calamity. Think of corn at 30 cents and oats at 20 cents at western Iowa points, these being prevailing bid prices at country shipping stations. The oats growers of the northwest arc in a still worse plight, except for local consumption, because of freight rates to eastern consuming markets, while western Canada farmers can not get freight charges out of oats, should they attempt to ship them into this country, unless Canadian roads should cut rates for the emergency. As a matter of fact they cannot now reach their own eastern points and get a nickel a bushel for themselves at terminals. Eastern Canadian oats raisers are in a little better shape. Five Year Selling Contracts A number of wheat growers' organizations In the west have sale contracts running for seven years with their members, and it is expected that these will now bp transferred to the farm bureau sales agency, for the most part. Tho new growers' contract of the American farm bureau is a pretentious document of 5.000 words or about four solid columns of this paper.

Some of the ablest lawyers obtainable have framed these contracts and other regulatory matter to be used by the various departments of the marketing and financing organization, all at a proportionate expense, of course. The pith of the whole matter, so far as

the farmer is concerned, is that he is to sign for five years and the sign-! ing of this contract is considered to be an application for membership in the U. S. Grain Growers association, this entailing a membership or initiation fee of $10 to make it complete. This contract also applies to tenant farmers and will be transferable to the new man taking the land, if desired. Wool Growers' Meetings. The first of a series of meetings to complete arrangements for the handling of the Indiana 1921 wool clip will be held at Lafayette on Monday, April 18, this to be followed by meetings at Terre Haute on the 19th; Indianapolis on the 20th, and Ft. Wayne April 21. At the meeting of wool growers held at Indianapolis in February it was advised that Indiana wool pools be marketed through the Ohio Wool Growers' association, and the wool be shipped to their warehouse at Columbus. This matter will now be settled. Other meetings may be' held elsewhere later but no dates have so far reached us. Claude Harper, Indiana member of the National wool committee will be present at all meetings, as will J. H. Walker of the Ohio association. The American Farm bureau also will be represented. We hope the Richmond district will be represented by one or more important growers at some of these meetings. The experience will at least be educational, al- , 1 v- l. , . : . buiuugu uic avnase wuui grower is uui so lacking in "education" as in money for his 1920 pooled clip. Clark County Farm Bureau. The Clark county farm bureau has just reported that the county has been completely organized with 610 members at $5 each. This gives the state federation $1,220 and provides a fund of $1,830 for use in the various townships this year. They report a growth in the township organizations right along, since the 610 membership canvass was completed. Of the $1,220 remitted to support the state federation at Indianapolis, $305 will be contributed toward paying' the expenses of the American Farm Bureau at Chicago. With Free Bread and Butter. Now that wheat is on a pre-war basis and flour a drug on the market, it is refreshing to note that a Chicago hotel having five dining rooms is vertising "bread and butter included." Time was when that hotel made a bread aud butter charge of 20 cents for a war-time order; a mighty limited MARS HMALLO W SNOWBALL A rich, creamy marshmallow, dipped in delicious chocolate and rolled in fresh cocoanut.

Beautiful Pearla PEARLS are the chosen adornment of the smartly groomed woman of today. The harmonizing tints; their beautiful symmetry and softness of line all tend to enhance the lovelinessof womanhood. The Difference in Pearla There is a great difference in the way artificial pearls are matched, graded and strung. There are also two varieties: hollow coated on the inside; and, indestructiblecoated on the outside. Our showing is hard to tell from the genuine- Oriental gems. We will be glad to explain the points in which they excel. CHARLES H. HANER Jeweler 810 Main St. Glasses Fitted

quantity, at that. About the same time they served a baked potato at "only 40 cents," for the biggest grown. This hotel has been farm federation headquarters during all the farm bureau meetings and mayhap the farmers who happened to sample their bills of fare "kicked." At all events their dining room charges have been cut materially. The fact is that the public commissioner on H. C. L. has been telling all classes of Chicago restaurants just where he believes they are profiteering. More than that he has been printing their prices and then citing their costs of supplies in the wholesale markets. In numerous instances this has resulted in cuts of as much as 50 per cent, also in a "carry your lunch campaign" which has been effective in the hurry-up Loop eateries. Sheep and Lambs, $1.25 a Pair Harry Gilbert tells of a farm fale held in Wayne county this spring at which a likely bunch of ewes were put up, many of them with two-week old lambs at side. "How much did the pairs bring?" we asked. Having made our guess we found that we were away out of line, for these ewes actually sold at $1.25, the lambs, of course, being thrown in. Is it any wonder that farmers are trying to find a way out and are studying all phases of co-operation? A Sheep Man Borrows Money Mr. Gilbert tells of a country banker within fifty miles of Richmond, who had helped a farmer to finance a flock of 1,000 sheep, when prices were up and the outlook rosy. When the sheep paper came due the man notified his banker that it must be renewed; that sheep were on the bargain counter and he must hold on longer. The farmer was called into the bank and urged to settle. Presently the farmer looked the banker in the eye and asked, "Do you want to get into the sheep business, John?" John thought a moment and wondered what the bank would do with 1,000 sheep and as many lambs, took up a pad of notes and began writing. "How long do you want this money for. Jim?" Jim came back promptly "Six months," and it was so arranged.
