WORKING CONDITIONS OF GARMENT WORKERS SUBJECT OF DISPUTE
(By Associated Press) PAINESVILLE, Aug. 5. Trial of the suit of John Meyer and son of
this city, in which it is sought to dissolve the wage and working conditions agreement between the Cleve
land garment manufacturers association and Cleveland locals of the In
ternational Ladies' Garment Workers'
union on the ground that it is unfair, was set for hearing before Judge A.
B. Reynolds in the common pleas court here today. The petition declares a monopoly of the wholesale market of women's garments in Guyahoga county is sought by the agreement. The plaintiffs also complain that by
the agreement they can not market in Cleveland garments which they
manufacture here, because wage and
working conditions in their plant do
not conform to the terms of the Cleve land agreement. . Fail to Deliver Goods.
It is further contended that the plaintiffs cannot deliver to two Cleveland firms mentioned as defendants, goods already contracted for and for this alleged injury the bill asks a judgment of $12,000 damages. Among the defendants are the International Ladies' Garment Workers' union ;the Cleveland Garment Manu-
Th

By William R. Sanborn
One manager of a country elevator said on Friday morning: "This isn't a rye country, but at that we have taken in 10 bushels so far." This made us a little curious and so we extended our inquiries a trifle.
The manager of the Milton Grain company, operating at Milton, Beeson's Station and Bentonville, said they were more fortunate as to rye .than was the man above quoted. In fact, they had loaded out three cars of rye already, that a little was dribbling in right along and they hoped to ship another car, a part of which load wag no win their bins. "The threshing season is about over," said he, "and
will wind ud soon. There may be a
couple of days' threshing around Bentonville, but none remains to be done
near Milton. Our rye cost us from $1 to $1.10, the market on rye being rather active toward the end of July.
Wheat is coming in slowly at this time
only two wagon loads being offered at
Milton on Thursday." M. A. Nye Now In Ohio Our readers in Liberty, and the far
mers of Union county who have not "kept track" of their former county agent, M. A. Nye, will be interested in knowing of his present residence
and prospects. Mr. Nye resigned as county agent in order to complete h:s studies and to obtain a "Master's" de
gree. This he obtained from the uni
versity of Wisconsin, at Madison, in
June. He is now in Ohio, and in the service of the state as an agent and lecturer of the agricultural extension
service, devoted to good farming, to practical farm management, etc. A
l valued correspondent living in Liberty
bor, has 75 acres in corn that has been worked from early in the spring, and is as nearly free of weeds as possible this late in the season. He
also expects to gather a fine crop. Are Out Culling Poultry Three Purdue specialists are now making an intensive campaign of poultry culling and will visit most of the counties in the state. This campaign opened on July 26, in Frank lin. Owen and Daviess counties, each Purdue man operating in a separate county. L. L. Jones, P. G. Riley and W. F. Rue are the university men giving the demonstrations, and the county agents and others are co-operating.
Price of Milk Lowered While we wouldn't exactly class milk with speculative commodities, it is morally certain that it is not constant in price. The price of milk varies according to season, and in relation to the supply, also depending in a measure on marketing conditions. For instance, the Toledo, Ohio, dairymen have just arbitrarily reduced the price to be paid milk farmers 25 cents, making the price to shippers about $1.90 per hundred pounds, delivered at Toledo. A slight drop in price to consumers has also taken place.

NICHOLSON PREDICTS

senate next Monday or Tuesday by a vote of two to one," said S. Edgar Nicholson, secretary of the National

that but one speech had been made in connection with the bill before ad
journment, Thursday. He said that he expected it would be Monday or Tuesday of next week before a vote was taken. The bill in question was passed by congress on June 27, and is aimed to strengthen the Volstead act.

Howe's Great London circus reminds
many old settlers of the fact that the
skeleton of the Van Amburg elephant
the first pachyderm ever seen in the
middle west is mounted at Earlham colleged.
The animal died at Connersville 40
years ago. It was first seen m inai-
ana with the Van Amburg wagon cir
cus over 60 years ago. With the Howe's Great London show now is Albert Gaston, age 79, the oldest clown in America. Gaston was with the Van Amburg wagon
show when it played Indiana towns in the seventies.
He remembers the elephant well
and recalled today the excitement the
coming of the great beast caused in
Anderson, Muncie, Marion and other
nearby cities. Many old-timers on the circus lot today declared it the first elephant they ever saw. Contemplate Proceeding to Obtain Ship Forfeiture (By Associated Press) WASHINGTON, Aug. 5. Libel proceedings in New York to obtain forfeiture of the British schooner, Henry L. Marshall, seized as a liquor smuggler, are contemplated by the justice department acting attorney general Goff, announced today.
It's circus day, and the scents ofthe peanut and the jungle are in the
up to $110 for it, but it isn't worth that price today. We have been taking in some wheat every day this week and have been paying $1.10 for No. 2. All our threshing is done, including oats, and business is naturally quiet." They report taking in about 2,000 bushels of oats, and were paying 28 cents on Thursday, at Centerville. Wheat has been pegged at $1,10 for several days. Reported from Hagerstown. "Not a bushel of wheat, nor a load of oats came in today," was the report from the mill at Hagerstown on
Thursday evening. The reported! threshing rigs now out of business and until wheat and oats advanced, expected mightly little grain to come
out of store. "The speculators seem to be playing with the market "while receipts are heavy," said the manager of the mill, "and we shall see an upward turn one of these days, of course." Asked as to coal orders b,e stated that folks seemed satisfied to wait, "hoping far cheaper coal, and perhaps for lower freight rates a little later." He was doubtful of the railroads cutting freight rates when thy pressure of a heavy demand was on. "That couldn't be expected at such a time." said he. "The threshing being over, we are having a quiet spell," was the report from Fountain City on Thursday afternoon. "No wheat or oats came in today. We are bidding $1.10 for No. 2 wheat and 28 cents for oats." His Tobacco Crop O. K. Frank Blackford, of Eldorado, says that his tobacco is coming' along in fine shape, regardless of a late season
for transplanting, and quite a long dry spell. We should be happy to be able to make the same kind of a report for all Preble county tobacco growers, or for all tobacco planters in the Miami Valley, in fact, but circumstances forbid. There are spots where tobacco will be a short crop this season, pretty
big spots, too. Looking for Big Corn Crops.

Chickens are one form of live stock that has not decreased in unmbers
since the last census, according to the latest figures. Although the dif
ference in the time of taking the cen-
suc is responsible for indicating
greater increase than would be the
case for an enumeration on the same date, still it is established that there were many more chickens in the country in 1920 than in 1910. The indicated increase, which probably is in excess of the actual increase, is 28 per cent. The states with the largest number of chickens are Iowa, Illinois, Missouri,' Ohio and Texas, with numbers varying from 18 to 27 millions. The number in the country is shown as 359 millions in 1920 and 280 millions in 1910. Egg production shows a big slump, about 31 per cent in the New England states, but is about the same for all other sections, except the Rocky Mountain and Pacific states, where it has increased by 45 to 47 per cent. A billion and a half dozen eggs a year are produced in this country.
PREBLE COUNTY MAY STAGE FARM PICNIC
Eaton, O., Aug. 5 It is probable that arrangements for a summer picnic for the whole membership of the Preble county farm bureau will be discussed at the regular monthly meeting which will be held in the courthouse Saturday afternoon. Notices for the meeting have been sent out. It was planned some time ago to
hold a mid-summer picnic, at which
time the competitive food club dem onstrations would be held to deter
mine which team of the county shall
represent Preble at the state fair.

The hour of arrival was fine for Richmond people, who gathered at the Pennsylvania sidings to watch the unloading and admire the handsome six

came to the big show in a body in charge of Captain P. H. Slocum. From
the minute they sighted "Vic", the baby hippo, and the three baby elephants,, the children were happy as happy can be. It is a great day for them. The Howe circus management
makes every effort to make its patrons 1 feel that courtesy and consideration will confront them in every depart-: ment of the big show. It is a big,! clean circus, presented in a big, clean , fashion. The night performance, opening with spectacular pageantry, begins ; at 8 o'clock. i

Vool Demand Continues
Says Commercial Bulletin
(By' Associated Press)
BOSTON, Aug. 5 The Commercial
Bulletin tomorrow will say:
"The demand for wool has continued
at fair proportions during the week, with the chief call for grades and finer. The government wool auction Thursday was rather unsatisfactory with less than 50 per cent sold at prices that were a bit easier. Western buying proceeds slowly at unchanged rates. Prices in the primary market remain fairly . steady with good clearances reported!"
WAYNE FARMERS OPEN
FIGHT AGAINST SMUT DAMAGE IN WHEAT
Purchase of a wheat smut treating plant was agreed upon at the Thursday night meeting of the Wayne township farmers' association, providel other townships could be persuaded to co-operate with Wayne in the project. This is done In the realization that county farm bureau funds will not be sufficient to accomplish so much this year. The cost of a plant would bs about $175. It would be able probably to treat seed for farmers from thre townships. Size Up Damaged Wheat This action was taken after a dis- ' cussion by the members and the county agent, of wheat smut damage. Mr.
Dolan reported the results of treat ment in Shelby county where the work has proceeded for three years, cleaning up nearly all smut, and 'in Rush, where treated plots 6how no smut this year, in contrast with 13 to
14 per cent on untreated plots.
Four farms near Milton 6how an average of 17 per cent smut this year, Mr. Dolan said, while one had a 25 per cent loss. One farm in Bostor. showed 20 per cent, while smut was found in all other parts of the county except around Webster. Money Back First Year "The results on my farm alone would almost pay for the outfit," said R. B: Morrow. "I did not think I had much, but when we counted the heads, we found that 14 out of 114 had the smut. I would have had two bushel more an acre on the 25 acres if l had had no smut." The percentage of smut In Wayne county this year was estimated at about 13 per cent. With 45,109 acres of wheat given by the census report, and with an average production this year of 10 bushels, 67,410 bushels
probably were lost from smut this year. Endorse County Agent Endorsement of the present county
agent, and of the actions of the farm bureau directors toward his retention, was voted unanimously by the asso
ciation. It was pointed out, however, that re-appointment would have to come through other sources, and the
members promised their full support
to their trustee in any such action
mat ne mignt tatte.
It i3 expected that similar endorse--
ment of the county agent and of the actions of the farm . bureau will be taken at the meeting of the Franklin township association Monday, and of Jackson township Tuesday. Others to Follow Center and New Garden townships already have taken such action since Saturday while Harrison and Jefferson townships endorsed the. county agent at their monthly meetings before the Saturday meeting of the board of education. Other townships are expected to voice similar endorsements as their regular monthly meetings occur. Purchase of coal and fertilizer were considered by the association and cards ordered sent out to the members with prices. Ed Deitemeyer of the purchasing committee read a report from Purdue regarding fertilizer bought last spring, showing that it contained more phosphoric acid than guaranteed and a value, based on the analysis of a dollar to $2.60 over the quoted prices at which they were sold. It was reported also tljat money refunds on spring fertilizer have been secured, for all who bought 16 per cent
acid goods at f. o. b. Richmond prices
above $21.
