Strayer drives a closed car and was returning from Brookville a.t the time. WTille driving down a hill four miles south of Richmond, on the Liberty pike, Strayer hauled out a plug of tobacco and bit off a liberal chaw. He opened the door to rid himself of the surplus tobacco juice. Just then his eye caught sight of a sheet ot flames licking out of the radiator. H-3 jumped. The machine ran about a square further down- the hill, left the road and turned over. In five minutes it was a total loss.

Coppock and Charles Harworth, Ohio Yearly meeting. Friendship between nations, the true basis for peace, is being fostered by the Friends work in Europe, according to Frederick J. Libby, representing the American Friends Service committee, who addressed the meeting-: Tuesday afternoon. Following up this statement, Mr. Libby said: "Our work in Germany has had a similar result. Many Friends hesitated about feeding German children. The hatred induced by war propaganda some of It true, some false penetrated even the Society of Friends. "At first the Germans were suspicious of us. Then they looked up the beliefs of the Quakers about war. It was not long before Quaker ideas were being taught in German schools, which once were devoted to militarism." The letter from the American Friends Service committee, telling of the great work among the peoples of Europe, closed with the following appeal: "We, the committee which has been placed In direct charge of thi3 work, ask your Yearly Meeting, for an increased part in this greatest task ever laid upon Friends. We ask each member to contribute to these destitute peoples a regular amount per month. or per quarter, measured as least by his or her expenditure upon the little luxuries and non-essentials that make our American life so pleasant. We feel free even to urge an increased sacrifice in your share of the work, knowing that you will correspondingly share in the blessing that is promised for its faithful performance. "Sincerelv yours, "AMERICAN FRIENDS SERVICE COMMITTEE." CONGRESS SPEEDS UP GRAIN GAMBLING BILL TO PROCURE RECESS . WASHINGTON. Aug. 9. The Cap-per-Tincher bill to prohibit gambling in grains was given right of way in the senate Monday upon disposal of the anti-beer bill. Both measures are features of the pre-recess plan of senators, who hope to procure a four or six weeks' recess beginning late this week, if President Harding should consent to delaying the railroad debt funding bill. Passage of the Capper-Tincher bill hpfrr( the wppk-enrl is nronosed. It
has been so amended, it is said, as tojers seldom invested more than $3,000
obtain solid support of the senate agriculture committee, which had Senator Capper, Republican, Kansas, submit the revised measure. Another effort was made to have the agriculture committee restrict the provision for admission of co-opera tive associations as members of grain exchanges with the right to rebate commissions. Certain grain exchanges are apprehensive, members of the committee asserted, that co-operative associations composed of farmers might, gain control of a large part of the grain exchange business. The committee refused, however, to modi fy the admission provision, but agreed to modify slightly its amendment for the rebating of commissions by proviamg inai me commisbiuus suuuiu become a part of the earnings of the association to be distributed among us bona fide members. 4 Inquiry Resolution Reported. The committee reported favorably a resolution introduced some time ago by Senator Kenyon. Republican, Iowa, a member of the committee, asserting there is a movement afoot in the National Grain Dealers' association to defeat the admission of co-operative associations to membership on grain exchanges, directing attention to a report that a fund of $250,000 had been raised for that purpose, and authorizing an investigation of the charges. An amendment to the national motor vehicle theft act, which would impose a fine of $5,000 and up to five years' imprisonment upon any one who transports or receives cars over state lines with intent to defraud owners or insurance companies, was ordered favorably reported by the senate judiciary committee. Chinese Trade Bill Favored. A bill to incorporate companies to promote trade with China was ordered favorably reported by the senate judiciary committee as a substitute for the house bill to incorporate companies to do business there. The senate committee held that this government had no authority to grant the charter proposed by the house. The navy department sent to the house a bill to punish any one selling war decorations. 'Pawn shops were displaying many medals and badges, Assistant Secretary Roosevelt said, which could be readily acquired by! anybody, lessening their sentimental; value. !

The Farm and The Farmer By William R. Sanborn
New Garden township farmers are to meet Tuesday evening at the schoolhouse in Fountain City. While, there is to be business of some importance to come before the meeting, the occasion is to be largely social, and th6 families of the members are to be present This means, toe, that refreshments are to be served, as is usual on social occasions. The farmers of Washington township are slated to meet at the Grange Hall in Milton, on Tuesday evening. Now that the rush of harvesting and threshing is over, it is expected that attendance at all the farm meetings will more nearly represent the full memberships of the township units. Webster township farmers are to meet at the schoolhouse on Thursday evening, Aug. 11. , All farmers are invited as business of importance will be discussed. The rural picnic reason " is now opening up. The Jackson township farmers and their families are picnicing at Jackson park this Tuesday afternoon. A basket dinner was en joyed by hundreds at the noon hour.; Numerous games an contests are in progress as we go to press. Farm Bureau and Grange Picnic An all-day picnic of the Grange and farm bureau .folks of Preble county, is being arranged for, to occur sometime later this month. Among tho speakers of the day will be Mr. Robinson, head of the farmers terminal warehouse at Cleveland, also the speaker of the Ohio house of representatives. An ambitious program is planned for and it is expected that a is being arranged for. to occur on the 19th of this month. Among the the contests of the day will be deniomstrations by the girl's clubs, the winners to be honored by selection to represent Preble county at the state fair. A Long Contract. A farmer complains that it took him one hour and twenty minutes to read the Grain Growers' pooling con tract. Well, it is quite a voluminous document and covers a large subject, the pooling of surplus wheat and other prain crops for a period of five years. The length of time it takes to read this document depends largely upon the time given to the study of its many paragraphs. It is nevertheless a pity that this matter was not presented in briefer and simpler form. Co-operative Creameries Pay. There are now upwards of 600 cooperative creameries in Minnesota, more than half of which have been in operation for 20 years or longer. With few exceptions these institutions were successful from the 6tart and that they have so long continued in business is proof sufficient that they have been of service to their communities. For the high-priced year of 1920, the average co-operative creamery received 120,000 pounds of butterfat, and the average net price for the entire year was 65.5 cents per pound. The highest price of the year prevailed in March, when " the average mounted to 74 cents. Years ago farmin a plant, but during the past ten years their investments have more generally run at from $20,000 up. u number costing from $30,000 to 50,000. Heavy Butter Importations. The creameries are the butter making plants of this country', and butter is in universal demand. We are not overlooking the butter made on the farms and consumed in the country, running into millions of pounds. But "country" butter is not a product for export; it is not packed for that purpose and millions of pounds of this product is consumed in the vicinity where produced. America being a land of milk and I honey, it would seem that we might be aDle to Spare a little butter to the rest 0f woria. But how mucnT Well, for the year ending May i, 1921, we exported 2,000,000 pounds. Just think a moment. That 2,000,000 pounds wouldn't furnish America with enough butter for a single day, scarcely indeed for a single meal. On the other hand" we imported during the same 12 months nearly 82.000,000 pounds of butter, from far away New Zealand, from Holland, Norway, Denmark, etc., for which we paid the highest prices ever known in th world's butter market. And in the same 12 months we consumed mile upon mile of carloads of Oleo and various imitation or substitute butters, these along with imported butter being an absolute load upon NEW PRICES on Nash Fours and Sixes WAYNE COUNTY NASH MOTOR COMPANY 13-21 S. 7th Phone 6173 Reasonable Prices for S k 1 1 If u I Service.

the dairy interests and milk farmers of the country. These are among the reasons organized dairy farmers are now fighting the cocoanut cow and filled milk, which lacks the essential life-giving vitamines of the real article, fresh from Nature's laboratories on a million farms. Damage to Eqqs in Transit. The average farmer ships no eggs bu,t men who have large flocks and make a business of egg production do their own shipping. On a trip to southern Illinois last summer we counted 25 cases of eggs on the platform of a country station having only 40 people in the town. As this burg was within 100 miles of St Louis the inference was that these eggs were billed to that point. But not so; they were headed for New York by express, in cold storage cars. All had been gathered within 48 hours of the shipping date, such express shipments being made tri-weekly along that line. It is interesting to know that the railways and expres companies paid out more than $2,000,000 in 1920 for eggs damaged in transit; also to know that where the damage does not run more than five percent no allowances are made. . Nor are allowances made when second-hand cases or fillers are used. They estimate that we lose $5,000,000 worth of eggs annually in handling does not seem improbable, taking this last fact into account. U. S. Agricultural Exhibits. The first carload of exhibits from the United States department of agri culture for the state fairs of the cen tral west left Washington last week. The first stop was at Sedalia, where the Missouri state fair opened Aug. 8 Leaving Sedalia Aug. 20 the exhibit will be taken to Milwaukee, Wis., for the state fair, and from that city to Topeka, Kans., for the Kansas Free fair Sept. 12 to 17. From Topeka the exhibit will go to Wrichita, Kans., for the International wheat show.
