THE
SHORTAGE OF HIRED
- Qv kii
Snooky, the Humanzee of movie fame, trying to play milkmaid. If you cannot find a hired man or a pretty dairymaid you might try "Snooky." Snooky is the Humanzee who appears in Chester comedies. He is shown here trying hard to fulfill the duties of dairyman. He was not very successful, however, for when he saw someone at the pump he gave up the usual method and tried filling the pail by pumping the cow's tail. With a little training, however, he might be a great help on the farm. v

SUN-TELEGRAM, RICHMOND,
PREBLE RAINS LIGHT; OF LITTLE BENEFIT TO TOBACCO GROWERS Rains in Preble county Wednesday! were light and were local, being of j little benefit to tobacco growers, ac- j cording to reports ftom that territory j Thursday morning. The heaviest rain that fell was in the southern end ofj the county, a light shower falling In j West Alexandria and in one or two j other places. These softened the clods ; to some extent making the ground a little easier to prepare but doing little good otherwise. "We will have to have rain soon or our crop will be short," said Frank Gazell. crop reporter of West Alexandria, Thursday morning. "The farmers are getting in a bad way around here, with ground so hard they cannot prepare it. There is even some which they have been unable to plow. Planting ought to be done soon. It is possible to set plants the first week in June, but for best growth they should be set by June 20. However, very few farmers are in shape to plant now." Eaton Fortunate Farmers around Eaton are more fortunate than in other parts of the county, according to Harry Fudge, of that city. He estimates that about half the acreage has been planted, and Fays that this was possible on account of early plowing, which left the ground in better condition that the late plowing in other regions. A shower near Eldorado was of lit-1 lie ueuein vv euucsudj , icyuncu Frank Blackford, a tobacco grower of that neighborhood. The Lewisburg territory is in the same condition as the rest of the county, says Fiancis Van Au?dal, farmer and farm bureau official of that neighborhood. In Gratis township where most of the rain fell there was not enough to benefit the ground materially, and some farmers, says Harry Stover, have not finished their plowing yet because of the ground being so hard. Some also are still planting corn. A few of the plants that have been set out already have died, and the growers are replanting. I Textile Workers' Head is Dead at Brooklyn FALL RIVER, Mass.. June 9.

The people I do not have another chance to make selection of their officers. Fears Machine. "The commission manager form of government affords much greater opportunity for machine politics because there are always at least two holdover commissioners at each election. The people never have a chance to defeat the entire commission. "With hold-over commissioners in office, it is an easy matter for the administration in power to concentrate its efforts for the election of but one commissioner, and it would again have its' majority on the commission. "There is no check whatever on the commissioners. Our county commissioners have no such power. Thev can transact but little business and cannot make expenditures, except, for small amounts with the consent of the county council. The township trustees are limited in their power by advisory boards. Need Checks. "These checks were placed upon county' comm.issioners and township trustees by the legislature, as it was found necessary to do so in order to insure the protection of the people. In popular government it is necessary that checks and limitations be placed around officers to secure the people from incompetency and unscrupulousness. Under the present system neither branch of the givernment by itself has such power as that allotted to the commission under the new form. "The mayor has but little power. 'Contracts cannot be. let without the necessary appropriations by the coun cil, and thus one branch'of the present government is a check on the other. " Invite Chicago Speaker -Arthur H.

The Farm and The Farmer By William R. Sanborn
i f The Phenis Farm Stag Joseph N. Phenis, living on a farm which spreads into both Wayne and Boston townships, sold a "stag" the other day. No, no, not a stag of the deer family, but of the Poland China hog persuasion. As all farmers are aware many such "stags" are market ed, but mighty few of them tip the earn at upwards of 1,000 pounds. Well. Mr. Phenis told us about that growthy pig: said he had taken a neat

but not gaudy picture of it and that;ner in which farmers make sales Mr.
said pig would be at the Stolle pack ing plant to be viewed by all comers at about such and such an hour on a warm June morning. To be fair and truthful about it said hour was a little earlier than we were accustomed to visiting packing plants, particularly in the month of roses. Pigs, packing plants and the entrancing beauty and odor of June roses somehow don't harmonize or mix well, especially before breakfast when the thermometer registers around 90 degrees outside of refrigerators and ice houses. You've noticed that. The Early Rising Farmer. Some early riser had trundled that stag to its doom before the editorial man's valet, had served us a cup of comforting coffee and a roll, in bed. which is the proper caper in news-! paper circle?. No, we didn't get to see said lard plant on the hoof. Albeit there is a young man on the staff who has not yet achieved the break-fast-in-bed habit, who did. He is a youngster whose future is still in front of him. He likes to get up early to view the glorious phenomena of the summer sunrise on a newly awakened and refreshed world. Cood idea and first class habit, that. Farmers know all
about this: they have to. That ex-! wheat screenings in which there was plains why all farmers are rich: sola large amount of cockle.

We trow not. Now farmers have been doing business on that' basis for a thousand years, it may be. Has it worked? It has gentlemen, it sure has. Witness the millions of farmer-owned limousines which block the country roads and congest tjie parking spaces in every town and hamlet. It is a fact, as you say, that few farmers drive sport cars or racers. Sensible idea. These lack the little elegancies and luxurious conveniences.

Weight 1,050 Pounds. gracefully tooling along the highways. But flivvers are not nailing signs or distress, either in town or country. Don't fool yourself by thinking that they are. Many a farmer drives a flivver who could buy a whole flock of "cars." It is a commendable proceeding, for why should rural wealth be ostentatiously flaunted on the public roads? Getting Back to the Pig. In accordance with the historic manPhenis disposed of his pig in the reg ular way, also some other hogs. Did he say to Mr. Stolle: "Here is a nice, plump, meaty black pig. of birth and breeding, which I shall be pleased to sell you at a dollar a pound." He did not. He simply asked Mr. Stolle: "How much will vou give me for the big Pig?" "That's no pig," quoth Stolle. "that's a stag; let's see what he weighs?" The scales showed 1,050 pounds, and on that basis they traded. "What's the big idea? Why print the portrait of a pig?" This was asked by a thoughtless young person in the renotorial room. Why indeed? Consider the millions upon millions who never have gazed upon a 1,000 pound pig. Consider, too. other unfortunate millions who have never seen any pig whatsoever. Of Interest to Farmers. Eleven new names have been added to the lift of Ohio farm institute speakers for next season, bringing the number up to 46. Every topic of interest to farmer-, will have consideration in the genrml program for the state. And now comes a report of chicken poisoning from the liberal feeding of paralysis of the legs. The lake and island grape districts now promise 50 per cent of average crops. The grapes near the water did not bloom so early as in inland districts and thus many vines escaped frost damage. In a leaflet devoted to: "The Solution of the Farmers' Problems." Edwin McKnight says: "Millers would not need the Chicago exchange to hedge in, to prevent loses, if they could depend upon the price of wheat being stable, and the exchange could I then in safety be abolished." ALBERT D. LASKER (Continued from Page One.) : is this art. which he has hitherto prac ticed on a national scale, that Mr. Lasker as head of the shipping board will now be expected to practice on an international scale. The new theory of the shipping board is to provide a market abroad for the surplus of goods produced in the United States above what is consumed at home. In the new theory the management of ships is merely a detail. Persons who are close to the situation have confidence that under the new regime the shipping board, which has been one of our most unhappy experiments, will now go forward to success. During the few years of its existence the board has had a long series of chiefs, whose tenure in some cases lasted onlv a few months, and in no case was long enouEh to assure anv kind of continuous policy to give anv possibility of; success. The losses involved have been enormous. Must Accept Loss Among other things the country ping board and the acceptance of this loss as an incident of the haste and waste of war. Aside from his very great ability as a business man. one of the attractive facts about Mr. Lasker is the disposition he has occasionnaly shown for almost fantastic devotion to liberalism and to the remedying of cases of injustice. In politics, during the pre-convention campaign of 1920, Mr. Lasker was devoted to the fortunes of Hiram Johnson and was a considerable factor in the degree of success that Johnson had. After Senator Harding was nominated, Mr. Lasker participated energetically in the campaign. (Copyright. 1921. by the New York Evening Post. Inc.
FARM QUESTIONNAIRE DISCUSSION THEME; OTHER MEETINGS
The principal subject before the Washington township farmers at Mil- ' ton, on Wednesday evening, was the j questionnaire recently mailed to all j township bureaus throughout the country- Considerable interest was shown and much voting done to bring to a focus the concensus of the meeting the two or three most importaht points. Following this came a talk on cooperative marketing and buying, dur- ; ing which orders for twine were placed. Several farmers told of smut in their wheat, others remarked on the need for rain, both for grain and pastures, though showers on Tuesday night and Wednesday had helped a lot in spots. The telling of the appearance oe smut led to a round table talk on the advisability of the installation of a 1 hot water treating plant, for commun ity operation. County Agent Dolan talked interestingly on this topic and his views were adopted unanimously. That such plants have been found valuable wherever put into operation, is the general verdict. Other Farm Meetings Four farm meetings will be held in this county up to Monday, June 13. The farmers of Webster will meet at the school building on Thursday night and a large attendance is hoped for as business of importance will come up. New Garden township farmers also are to meet on Thursday evening. Charles Patterson, one of the state speakers, will address the gathering. He is expected to draw a crowd, not merely from New Garden, but also from some adjoining territory, as is usual at Fountain City farm meetings. Boston township farmers are to meet at the Boston school on Friday night; all farmers invited. Franklin township farmers are to meet at Whitewater on Monday evening. June 13. Claude Kittennan will be the speaker of the evening. Bill Kills Big Fight Unless Soldiers Rewarded WASHINGTON, June 9. A resolution designed to prohibit the DempseyCarpentier fight at Jersey City July 2, unless meanwhile congress shall have "fairly treated Americans who served in the World war," was Introduced in the house Wednesday by Representative Gallivan, Democrat, Massachusetts. In a statement Mr. Gallivan char acterized Dempsey as "a big bum who dodged the draft," and declared that France had been at war for months before Carpentier joined the colors. MANY (Continued from Page One.) U. S. marshal for Indiana, George M. Barnard, of Newcastle, is now serving as a member of the Indiana public service commission, and, as has been stated, Ernest Thomas, of Rushville. has accepted an important federal office. The list of Indiana Republicans who have received minor appointments in the various branches of the state and federal governments is quite lengthy. Advocates of a bargaining tariff giving the president authority to grant concessions below the ordinary rates of duty or impose penalties according to the manner in which American products are treated by other countries, probably will be successful in obtaining a satisfactory provision in the permanent tariff bill, which probably will be submitted to the house about June 15. Exporters Need Reciprocity The provisions for reciprocal tariff agreements with other countries which are included in the tentative administrative sections of the permanent bill, as drafted by the experts associated with the house ways and means committee, show that the conditions of exporters as to the need of some measure of reciprocity has been recognized. Whether the bill as now drafted proves entirely satisfactory to advocates of a bargaining tariff or not, it seems to be certain that something along that line will be included in the bill as reported to the house, and that a groundwork will thus be fur nished for the adoption of perfecting amendments by the senate finance committee. The senate committee is expected to show a more sympathetic attitude toward action designed to stimulate foreign trade than the house committee, which is primarily interested in building a substantial tariff wall around American industries.
