Northwest and Canadian crop news shows no particular change. Bulls say cash wheat demand very large. Kansas City cash unchanged to 2c up. Oats threshing very poor. Recent wheat decline of 14c has created some buying power. Corn and oats are ready to bulge when wheat advances. Forecast unsettled and cooler. Overnight locals may buy all grain on dips.

PREBLE REFRESHED

BY GENERAL RAIN EATON, O., July 26. Practically all

Preble county was refreshed by a general rain, Monday afternoon, which in almost all points about Eaton and

north amounted to at least half an inch.

The rain came up suddenly in some parts of the county, and was quite severe for a period of half an hour, while more moderate rainfall continues almost all the afternoon. Although farmers in the north part of the county voiced appreciation of the rain, and stated that it was of benefit to the fields, they said that still more is needed, to compensate Tor the long drouth. There was enough to stop farm work, but most farmers were able to get back to work Tuesday. Street of Many Fakirs

has authorized the issue, and turn them into channels of finance ready to float them. "There has been at no time any question about the justice of funding such indebtedness to the government. Indeed it has been in progress to a

measurable degree ever since the return of the railroads to their owners. The process is admittedly too slow to meet the difficult situation which the owners of the railroads have been facing and I believe it essential to restore railway activities and essential to the country's good fortunes to

hasten both funding and settlement Owe Large Sums

"Quite apart from the large sums

; owing to the government which are

morally and legally bound to fund, the government admittedly owes the railroad companies large sums on various

accounts, such as compensation, depreciation and maintenance. "There Is no thought of asking congress for additional funds. Perhaps $500,000,000 will be necessary. "The railroads' administration has, or will have in the process of funding, security to meet all requirements if

congress only will grant the authority to negotiate these securities and provide the agency for their negotiation "With this end in view you are asked to extend the authority of the war finance corporation so that it may purchase these railway funding securities accepted by the director general of railroads.

poultry culling are to be the chief topics for discussion. "Cheer up, and don't miss the meeting," is the advice of President Duke. The long dry spell has begun to tell on the little streams and on stock

ponds. In some instances rarmers are hauling stock water . and family cisterns are dry, making the work of washing still harder because of the lack of "soft" water. Harry Gilbert says he has been in the habit of late of reaching his farm on the Boston pike by 4 in the morning, and getting his pump engine busy. So far the well is holding out "but there's no telling how long that can or will continue, unless we have rain," he said Monday afternoon. Mr. Gilbert also has a farm which adjoins the Wernle Home, on the west There is a fire plug at the Home from

water, which he is buying from the city for use of the farm live stock. He avers, too, that he had as promising an

half acre garden as could be seen mi a hundred miles of travel, this spring, from which he hasn't gathered a single "mess" of anything green and edible this summer. That farm lies in one of the dryest of the dry spots, evidently. His idea that a two-day rain would be welcomed meets the popular view.

Threshing Rig Lost Money. Arthur McMahan, of Centerville, the owner of a threshing outfit and secretary of the Wayne Threshennen's as

sociation, renorts a loss on his operations this summer. He states that he threshed two wheat rings, having a total of 24 members, and that the output was, in round numbers but 8,000 bushels of grain. "I should have had at least 3,000 bushels," said he, "to have let me out with a small profit, after covering interest on my investment, repairs, labor, etc. So you see I closed the season with nothing for my work except the dinners, and

at an actual cash loss. It would have taken but a short time longer to have threshed out another 5,000 bushels, in these same r..gs, had the grain run heavier, and I should then have had a few dollars for myself. Having done

with wheat I pulled my rig over most

of Center township to pick up seven

crops of oats, all of which ran so light that I was unable to get more than 26 pounds in the measuring box." Mr. McMahan said that he threshed these seven oat crops in two days. Will

Crowe had a small field of wheat which went 28 bushels, this being the "top"

cago, in its weekly letter of July 21

says that up to that date a number of

farmers elevators had signed con tracts with the Grain Growers, as fol

lows: Illinois, 10 elevators; Oklahoma

8; North Dakota 39; Nebraska 35;

Missouri 30. This gives a total of 122 country elveators now lined up with the United States Grain Growers. It looks as If South Dakota, Minnesota, Iowa, Kansas and Indiana had not yet been solicited, and the same may be true of Michigan and Wisconsin. The letter cites the fact that but three days of campaigning in Oklahoma and Illinois had been done up to the time of making the report. It further states: "In Illinois, field so

VOcean Freight Rates Lowered. Ocean freight rates on wheat and cotton moving from North Atlantic ports of the United States to the Unit

ed Kingdom were approximately 50 percent lower on July 1. 1921, than on Nov. 1, 1920, according to a statement compiled by the Bureau of Markets and Crop Estimates from data furnished by the United States Shipping board. This decline corresponds substantially to the price declines of these commodities during the same period, so that the ratio between the freight rates and the market prices remains relatively the same. On Nov. 1. 1920, No. 2 red wheat was quoted in New York at $2.34 per bushel and the ocean freight rate was 40c per 100 lbs., or at the rate of 24c per bushel, which represented 10.2 percent of the value of the wheat. On July 1, 1921. with No. 2 red wheat selling at $1.47 per bushel, the freight rate was 21c per 100 lbs. 12.6 ner

bushel or 8.5 percent of the value of a bushel of wheat. Both the price of wheat and the freight rate may be said to represent a fair average for June. Rail Rates Still Sky High. Were it possible to make the same report for railway rates on grain and farm commodities the farmers would have much less cause for complaint. Comparatively little of the farmers' grain goes abroad, compared with the amount consumed at home. This

home consumption is nearly all freighted. The amount used by country mills, and sold direct from wagon

or local elevator, is Insignificant, by

comparison with the tonnage shipped

to outside markets.

infrequently a ragged, unkempt man will offer most expensive imported fabrics for suiting, in odd bolt lots, at ridiculous figures. Much of this stuff, the police feel certain, has been stolen, but it is difficult to fix the crime on the street vendor. Victims of the various drug habits find their chief source of supply on this ttreet.

Has 108.000 Members. The Illinois Farm Bureau now reports 108,000 members who have each paid $15 in dues. Grab a lead pencil, please and figure it up. According to our figures this means a payment of

$1,620,000 per year. Now, it. would be interesting to know what the farmers of Illinois are to get for all that money; and to whom and in what sums

disbursements are to be made to han-j

die the farmers' own business. Admittedly there is a large, high-salaried force, and farmers will not object to "reasonable" payments to those in office, and to the hundreds of clerks who attend to the details. Only a por-

government. There is no added lia

bility, no tax burden. It is merely the grant of authority necessary to enable a most useful and efficient gov

ernment agency to use its available 1

funds to purchase securities for which congress already has authorized the

issue, and turn them into the channels of finance ready to float them. Requests Sanction "I can readily believe that so simple a remedy will have your prompt sanction. The question of our obligation cannot be raised. The wisdom of affording early relief is not to be doubted and the avoidance of added appropriations or liability will appeal to congress and the public alike." With his message, the president

sent also to congress a large amount; of data from Director General Davis, of the railroad administration, show-j ing the progress of liquidation so far, j

and treating present financial conditions.
