UKA1IS rKlLiiS , Furnlahed by E. W. WAGNER A CO, . 212 Union National Bank " Building. CHICAGO. Aug. 17. December ! wheat sold $1.29 Aug 10 and $1.224 ' today. The decline is liberal for this I class of markets. We believe wheat will sell lower on the coming northrwest receipts. England appears to be ; awaiting 190 million Canadian wheat ; surplus. New York says Germany will require 40 million more wheat and Italy 30 million. These totals not bullish when compared with the United ' States business reaction now proceed- ' ign. The 2.500,000 wheat reported , yesterday for export is still unexplain- ; ed. Corn visible may gain one million this week and oats visible is gaining fast. Overnight the overdue rally in grains may, be delayed until Thursday. RANGE OF FUTURES Furnished by E. W. WAGNER & CO, . 212 Union National Bank Building. CHICAGO. Aug. 17.

MOORISH FRAY SHARP; REFLECT CONFIDENCE IN NEW GOVERNMENT MELILLA, Morocco. Aug. 17. There has been sharp fighting betwen the advance posts of the Spanish foreign legion and Moorish tribesmen south of this city. One Spanish lieutenant has been killed and several soldiers wounded, while the Moors are reported to have suffered heavy losses. MADRID, Aug. 17. General Rarenguer, Spanish high commissioner for Morocco, will go to Tetuan, in the western part of that country, to negotiate for the surrender of the principal chiefs in that district, says El J Diaro Universal. It is indicated that a punitive exhition against the rebellious tribesmen will not begin until next month. The new Spanish government which came into office as a result of the military situation near Melilla, where Spanish troops were severely defeated three weeks ago, has been well received in Spain. The stock exchange has reflected confidence on the part of the people, and state bonds have risen almost a whole point since the ministry was established. . In discussing the situation in northwestern Africa, Premier Maura's newspaper, La Accion, says: "We do not wish to conquer Morocco, as such a task would cost us many sacrifices and sufferings, as did our American colonies. We merely intend to prosecute a civilizing mission without hesi tation and without impatience. We will stay peacefully on the coast of Morocco, leaving the native authorities to establish themselves in the in terior." CLIFTON W. MERRILL IS GALLED BY DEATH Clifton W.

KILLED HIS FRIEND, NIGHTMARE BETRAYS SLAYER TO POLICE NEW YORK. Aug. 17 A ghost J story was injected today into the in-' vesugation or n muraers in mis vicinity and at Detroit, which police attributed to a gang called the "good killers". Bartolow Fontano, one of the seven men arrested last night in connection with the investigation and who gave information about the murders, said today, according to the police, that the ghost of Carmello Caizzo, whose back was fatally perforated by shot gun bullets at Avon-bythe-Sea, N. J., appeared before him in the wee hours of last Monday. When the apparition came Fontano was the guest of detective Michael Fiaschetti, of the Italian squad. Fiaschetti related today how he was roused by the sound of Fontano leaping from the bed to the window. Too Many Ghosts "What's the matter?" he inquired of his fluttering guest. "I killed my best friend," Fontano was quoted as replying, "and I see his ghost." Then the detective said his guest told him this story: He was instructed from across the sea to "get" Caizzo, but when he went forth to fulfill this mission the attractive personality of Caizzo dis armed him and they became good friends. But Fontano had his orders and on July 30 when they were out hnnHne" tnPthor Tfnntann fired hnfVi thai-Tola tt o c1At(mn i t life l,Ait friend's back. Uses Tlmeworn Method Fontano happened to be the guest of the detective, because the detective i believed that the best way to a man's heart was through his stomach. When he met Fontano last Sunday in the zoo, he was anxious to know what secrets lay hidden in the "good killer's" heart, -so he invited him to dinner. They became so clubby that a trip to the theatre followed, and afterward Fontano agreed to be the overnight guest of the detective.

The Farm and The Farmer By William R. Sanborn

Harry Pinnick, a Richmond contractor who lives on his farm about six th nf tftwn said that some of o vrpakinz fa knee hiKh before it was rained on. This corn now promise 50 bushels to the acre. "Had the season ben right," said Mr. Pinnick. -I believe we could have counted on 75 bushels for the entire acreage." His early corn was planted on May 16, "which was as early as we could get corn in down my way," he said. Albert Hindman, well known fanu sale auctioneer, living near Hagerstown, says he has 175 head of hogs on feed and expects them to show a fair profit. Mr. Hindman is in the feed business in Hagerstown, in the building he formerly used as a livery barn. Asked as to the demand for feeding stuffs, he said that it is now quite heavy. We have sold more feed in the oast six weeks." said he, "than in all the rest of the year." Asked for an explanation of this, he said that farmers are convinved that hogs are a good feeding proposition just now. "The low price of corn and mill feeds, tankage, etc., is an inducement to generous feeding, even if hogs are not sky high." Mr. Hindman's experience is in line with reports from all feed dealers. These are to the effect that feeders are buying more liberally than formerly, and that the cuting off of good pasturage during the dry spell materially helped their sales. Recent rains have once more painted the country green and live stock is faring better on that accounL About Butter and Eggs. With reference to butter and eggs, the Produce News, of New York, says: "Butter prices are high enough. Should they continue to advance, operators will find that consumers will spread it thinner and use more substitutes. "Held eggs are good property. At this writing there is sufficient profit to satisfy the most ambitious operator." Our farm women wil note that eggs they have sold at such low figures since early spring are now pajing cold storage holders good money, for what ! is true of New York is also true of western storage points, which were stocked at a minimum of freight cost. Eaton Fair Premium List. The seventy-first annual premium list of the Preble county fair, to be held at Eaton September 26 to 30, inclusive, does much credit to Harry D. Silver, secretary of the fair association. The booklet is graced with an artistic cover, is compact and succient and contains the desirable information in the least posible space. The Growing Corn. A crop expert who is continually traveling say3 that Iowa corn does not promise more than 39 ftushels per acre, and he adds: "Much corn may not mature." Illinois corn has maintained its condition in all areas during past four weeks, but in the southern end of the state rains probably came too late to do much good. The Illinois crop is now so far along that danger from frost damage is no longer feared, taking the state as a whole. Every fair and warm day adds assurance. Late planted Indiana corn is doing finely, but needs more hot weather for ouick maturing. Some of our early planted corn was so badly fired in July that complete recovery is out of the question. The present warm spell wlil do corn and pastures a lot of good, now that we have had general rains. There is enough water in the soil to "make" corn, in large areas just now. Pastures are pretty well restored but occasional showers will be of benefit, for several weeks. It is said that some corn cutting has been done in southern Indiana. Highest Price in Months. When Wilson and company of Chicago paid $10.85 for two loads of fancy 947-pound steers and heifers on Monday they made the top on cattle since the middle of last January. While the best offerings sold strong and higher ' - J IT . OC ..MAM poor stuff ranged 15 to 25 cents under the range on Saturday. This backs up the contention of the pure-bred boosters that quality counts in the markets as well as in the show ring. Light bacon hogs sold as high as $11.05 against a top of $10.65 for 140 to 160pound mixed lots. The latest top for heavy beeves, averaging 1,485 pounds, is $10.45. This price was paid by shippers on Tuesday for account of Boston butchers. Rocky Ford Melons Coming The first Rocky Ford melons for the 1921 season were started east on Mon-; day and it is expected that 40 cars will ; be shipped this week, it is also ex-; pected that 2,500 cars will be shipped! out of the valley this season and the i quality is pronounced fine. The crop j is figured at 150 crates to the acre. Itj is estimated that the SwinK ana ura Chicken Dinner Every Thursday at Interurban Restaurant 14 South Eighth Street OPEN ALL NIGHT Now Owned by W.

way districts lost between 40 and 50

percent of the melon crop through destructive hail storms in July. Latest Cooperative Move The Empire State Potato Growers' Co-operative association, which plans to market the bulk of the potato and cabbage production of New York state, was organized last week. The rules provide that individual growers must contract their crops to their local associations, the latter will become members of the state association and do all business through it. There will be a central marketing service and business will be done for the member ship at cost. This service will furnish market quotations, handle collections, adjust claims, provide storage, etc. Want Official Egg Day Petaluma, California, very modestly claims to be the largest egg center in the world, and as such has asked the governor of the state to designate the third Saturday in August as annual egg day, thus giving it official sanction. In accordance with that idea Saturday, August 20, is the date set for the fourth annual egg day at Petaluma. A chicken dinner will be served and the whole town will take a hand in the event. Motto Eat More Eggs The following telegram to Governor Stephens explains itself and shows that Petaluma takes the egg business seriously. It is the real thing and not a side line in that community: "William D.

REDUCE LOOSE SMUT IN RUSH WHEAT BY SEED TREATING PLANT RUSHVILLE, Aug. 17. The Rush County Farmers association is really accomplishing results In reducing loose smut infection of wheat Is shown by reports sent to the county agent's office by farmers who had their seed treated at the hot water treating plant last fall. Half of these farms have reported and in every case they say the treatment was successful in reducing the amount of smut. In some cases not a single smutted head was seen in the

treated while the untreated showed as high as 15 per cent infection. The treated wheat this year did not show as large an increase in yield as was obtained the year before, due to the fact that the dry condition of the soil at sowing time last fall was unfavorable to the water Boaked treated seed. The moisture in the seed started a lot of it to sprouting when there was not enough moisture in the ground to force the plant out. The result was a decrease in the stand. In spite of thi3 condition, the treated plants showed an average increase in yield over the untreated of 1.8 bushels per acre. The real benefit from the work of the Farmers organization along this line is shown by the fact that 3,998 bushels of wheat, grown from treated seed, is reported saved for seed, 2,591 bushel3 being saved for sowing on the farms where it was grown. A total of 475 bushels have already been sold to neighbors for seed and the county Egent has 932 bushels more of this treated seed listed for. sale. OHIO EXPERTS TELL HOWTO CULL KENS (By Associated Press) ' -; COLUMBUS, O.. Aug. 17 Character analysis may sound like a term of hopeless erudition to many persons, but poultry experts in the college of agriculture at Ohio State university have brought the , high-sounding phrase right down to the level of the barnyard. They are teaching poultry farmers to "character analyze" their hens. Physical, however, rather than mental quirks are studied. During July alone, it is asserted, 64, 651 hens were analyzed at gatherings over the state, and 14,828 found wanting in industry and barren of profit, were killed. How is a hen that loafs on the job distinguished? Here are infallible signs, the experts declare: . . Molting. Those that shed their feathers early in the season are through laying for the entire year. If the hen's legs, beak and eye-rings are yellow, she has been too busy laying up body fat to lay eggs. Low body capacity. These characteristics, the specialists at the University assert, are far more certain indications whether a hen will make good or not, than phrenology in humans. A third of Ohio's hens show these signs, according to the workers, and should be culled from the flocks. Each hen so culled, they figure, represents 60 cents saved on food between now and 1922, and a further saving of 20 cents, the estimated difference In value of the carcass now and later. On that basis, they estimate a saving of $11,765, on hens culled at demonstrations in July alone. Feeder Cattle Sale at Darke County Fair GREENVILLE, O.. Aug. 17.
