THIEVES SAY VICTIMS EXAGGERATE LOSSES (By Associated Press) GENOA, May 9. The chief of police of this city has received a letter feigned "The Tramways Pickets association," complaining that the persons from whom they abstract pocketbooks have "the dishonest habit" of invariably declaring to ihe police a much larger financial . loss than they have i tally suffered. They cite specific cases where one man claiming to have been robbed of 2,500 lire only lost 50, and another one reporting a loss of 18,000 lire when his pocketbook contained less than two hundred. The letter argues that such exaggerations are likely tq cause unfortunate consequences and strained relations among the pickpocket fraternity as when a member of the association turns in a few hundred lire when the loser claims to have lost thousands, the pickpocket is suspected by his col
leagues of having retained the difference. "Alleged honest people thould he more delicate1," the letter reads. PENUNDrlED; CRUELTREATMENT Harry Penland, of Jackson Park, was fined $25 and costs for assault and battery committed on his wife, Erma Penland about two weeks ago. According to the evidence before Tudge Bond Monday morning, Penland had struck his wife and choked her after a famijy quarrel. Mrs. Penland recently ' filed a complaint for divorce in Wayne circuit court charging that her husband had been guilty of cruel and inhuman treatment and that her father-in-law also had been encouraged in assaulting her.

The Farm and The Farmer By William R. Sanborn
Charles Weadick, living on Webster pike, ia the only man in Wayne county, bo far aa we are aware, who raises tobacco. He formerly grew tobacco in Preble county and says that he Is growing as fine tobacco as he did over in the cigar leaf belt. He tells us. too, that his tobacco was the most profitable crop on his place last year, even when sold at 15 cents, owing to the great decline in grain and live stock. His four acres produced 4,000 pounds of choice Spanish leaf. Mr. Weadick claims that it costs less to raise tobacco now, than formerly. Plants are set with a planter, a time and labor saver. He will set out for acres as usual this season, and now has a lot of thrifty plants under cloth. He has a spraying outfit which saves a lot of "worming." a large element of cost in tobacco culture. Witty reference to wheat h says his is looking pretty good, but that we have had too much rain and too little sunshine to force- growth. He ia planning to plant 30 acres of corn. Sheep Shearing at 18 Cent. The Lee county, Illinois, farm bureau has arranged with a man having a power machine to shear sheep at 18 cents per bead. This seems cheap enough, but when you consider an average fleece of 7 pounds and the fact that some buyers are now bidding as low as 10 cents In Lee county you will note that IS cents takes quite a "bite" out of the proceeds. Lee coun ty pooled wool sold above 20 cents last winter, some of the highest grade bringing up to 30 cents. Tackling Nitrate Project. The American farm bureau has tackled a big job. Gray of Missouri Jamison of Colorado, and Brown of Indiana, have been appointed a committee to inspect the nitrate project at Muscle Shoals, Alabama. They are on a trip of inspection now and are empowered to hire engineers to make a report. The government has spent many millions on the plant, has actually made nitrate, and in some Washington circles there" is a feeling that the plant should be sold, or at least, no more money be spent in perfecting it. i The farmers are greatly interested, of course, in the manufacture of nitrates in this country in the hope that it will build up an American industry and lower the cost of fertilizer. There has been talk of abandoning the plant, if it cannot be sold to advantage, it being a whale of a proposition, it was originally started as a war measure for the supplying of nitrates for powder The farmers want to save the plant and the nitrate industry. England Buying Our Cattle. The first American cattle to reach England since 1913 were received at Liverpool on March 9. Several consignments have been shipped of late But this trade cannot become large under the regulations that have been in force 20 years. The cattle cannot be kept for fattening but must be slaughtered within ten days of arrival. Seed Money for Farmer As waa stated some time ago, congress appropriated $2,000,000 to be loaned to northwestern farmers in the drought-stricken districts with which to buy seed. The loans were limited to $200 and were only available to those who harvested less than five bushels per acre because of the great demand for money. In view of the millions largely squandered at Washington, this appropriation seems pitifully small. The department of agriculture reports that "it has been necessary to refuse applications from farmers who harvested more than five bushels but who were in financial distress because of having devoted their crop receipts to payment of debts." All farmers receiving seed money have been required to give crop mortgage notes, payable at the federal reserve bank next fall. The smallness of these loans, some of them under $100, connected with a first mortgage on the crop, seems almost ridiculous, but Uncle Sam Is needy and can lei gaily take no chances on his money. Sunflowers for Silage Fiank R. Arnold, a Utah farmer, contributes the following interesting information regarding sunflowers and their feeding value in the form of silage as tried and proven in his state! He writes as follows: "There are three remarkable things about the sunflower silage. It will mature at an altitude of 6,500 feet in a growing season of only three A PRETTY FROCK FOR A TOT" TINY 3566 Pattern 3566 is here partrayed. It Ls cut in 4 Sizes: 1 2, 4 and 5 years.

months. It has about the same feed value as corn and rilage, and. better
still, sunflowra -will produce many more tons per acre than corn. Dr. W. E. Carroll, expert on animal nutri tion at the Utah Agricultural college, was at first a doubting Thomas as to the Value of sunflower silage. But he now admits that the amount of feed produced per acre is the strongest argument in its favorr Inasmuch as three tons of silage have the same food value as a ton of alfalfa hay, it is easy to see how much feed is- produced by an acre of sunflowers which runs from ten tons on unirrigated land to 44 tons on the irrigated. Difficult Harvesting. x "It is hard for corn farmers to realize what a tremendous lot of material ia-furnished by sunflowers and that they, present new problems in harvesting. The binder, mower and hoe are nearly powerless . though some Utah farmers have found the hoe most usefuL One Utah sheepman last year grew 46 acres of sunflowers so that he could have feed for lambs when they came off the summer range. This would enable him to hold them for a good market, if necessary." The Indiana farmer will find a few rows of mammoth sunflowers a good investment, if only for use in feeding the farm poultry in a mixed ration. He can, in fact, find more than one use for sunflower seeds in his feed ing operations. Canada imported. 7,000 bushels of American onions in March; Mexico took 6,888. and Panama 5,500 bushels in the same month; Cuba bought over 25.000 bushels, and is our best customer for this pungent vegetable. It is a far cry from Texas to the Philippines, but 1,000 bushels of Texas Bermudas were sent across the Pacific in March. Labrador, and Newfoundland, two of the coldest countries on the map, also are buyers of onions in this country. Berlin Socialists Meet; Consider Future Policies (By Associated Prese BERLIN, May 9. National committeemen of the majority Socialist and Democratic parties assembled here today to discuss the attitude of those organizations would take relative to the international situation resulting from the presentation of the allied ultimatum regarding reparations. There was hope in Fome quarters that an agreement would be reached by the two parties to participate inhe formation of a cabinet to succeed that of Konstantine Fehrenbach. which resigned last week. Dr. Wilhelm Mayer, Cerman ambassador to France, has declined the invitation of President Ebert to form a ministry, and the German people's party continues its attitude of reserve. The leader of the latter organization, Dr. Gustav Stresemann, is strongly opposed to acceptance of the allied terms. Dr. Mayer has been conferring Avith members of the Reichstag, attempting to show that the signing of the allied demands is necessary. POSTPONE ACTION ON STREET ASSESSMENT Action on the final assessment roll for North Third street from North D street south to Main, was postponed until Thursday's meeting of the board of public works at its meeting Monday because of the entrance of remonstrance against the assessment that had been made on one of the pieces of property.

GERMANY WILL GAIN. : CONTROL OF METAL MARKET, IS WARNING By Associated- Press) ST. LOUIS, May 9. Germany htaking active measures' to one more gain ascendency in non-ferrous metal products of the world and is only delaying her plans until the reparations question Is settled.- according to Stephen D. Tuthlll. of New JTork, secretary of the American Zinc institute,, who addressed a convention-of . the organization here today. Mr. TuthiU uttered a warning to American producers that their trade is threatened. He asserted that at present Germany and Belgium are conducting negotiations for Si re-establishment of their former trade relations in the metal world. "The American Zinc institute," the secretary said, "through private channels and confirmation in Washington, has obtained proof that Germany plans to re-establish "her once famous .'hart en' - of European convention-syndicate control, s better known as the 'metallgeseilschaft.' with headquarters at Hamburg and Liege and with offices in the principal cities of the world." The object will be to again obtain dominance over the non-ferrous metal trade, particularly zinc "One of the highest officials in Washington has confirmed this, and j he informed the institute a few day? ago tnai prospects tor a toreign market for American zinc are not bright."' Prior to the war, Mr. Tuthill explained, the "metallgeseilschaft" exerted an influence in non-ferrous metals reaching across the world, controlling the output of zinc in Germany, Belgium, France and England. This, ho said, left little market for the American output. RAIL MEN DISCUSS WORKING CONDITIONS fBy Associated Pres.1 ST.

WAYNE COUNTY SHEEP MEN TO POOL WOOL The wool growers of Wayne county met in the office of the county agent on Saturday afternon to discuss poo' ing of the spring clip. More than twenty were on hand, including E. P Love, of New Paris, who said then, were a number over his way who weir anxious to pool their wool this season. John Crowe, of Webster, was mop.' or less warm under the collar; not because of wool pooling or bid prices by independent buyers, but on account of sheep killing dogs in his neighborhood. He had lost seven or eight sheep, he said, and was going to taka little shotgun ammunition home. Among those present were: Frank Clevenger, Ed Dietemeyer. Sam Glunt. of Boston.
