FRUIT GROWING POOR, SAYS CROP REPORT! COOL WEATHER AN AID (By Associated Pres) INDIANAPOlAl, Aug. 22. Peach, pear and apple growing continues poor, according to the weekly report of George C. R. Bryant, agricultural itatistician to the United States department of agriculture. The continued cool weather and rain again has helped all growing things, It was said. The report follows: Continued cool weather, with fair to good showers in all sections of the state, has materially helped all grow ing crops. More than the usual amount of tall plowing has been done. Late corn continues to show im provement, but generally the crop is finished and some fields are beginning to dent. The yield will depend to a great extent on the rainfall during July. Barren stalks are plentiful in most fields, although considerably more than half the stalks have good j ears. Potatoes Are Helped Continued cool, weather and good; showers have been very beneficial to late potatoes and truck crops. Sweet potatoes are fair to good in the commercial districts.. . Pastures show considerable improvement over last week and are of better feed value. Alfalfa is considerably improved, with' the late cutting as good as the first. Tobacco continues to improve with the cooler weather, but will make only about half a crop. Grapes continue fair. No peaches to speak of. Pears very poor. Apples will make about one fourth of a crop, but quality will be. nothing extraAll live stock is in good condition with the exception of a few scattered cases of pink eye in cattle and horses. The farm labor, supply far exceeds the demand. A fairly good yield of melons is being harvested and the quality is the best in several years.- - AUTOMOBILE STRIKES BOYi DRIVER SPEEDS Edward Hamilton, 8-year-old son of James A.

SPECULATORS HEAVY LOSERS BY DECLINE IN GRAIN PRICES; LIVE STOCK LOWER

By William R. Sanborn ' If you imagine that grain speculators, country buyers and grain shippers generally have been having a picnic and have made a pot of money because of the almost continuous break in prices, you are making a mistake. Nothing could be farther from the truth. Both bulls and bears have been in a turmoil of conflict. Prices have receded so far that the bears who have bought to cover at different stages on the way down have found themselves with an extra load on the wrong side, time and time again. The market weakened after every little bulge. The decline has been so persistent, and the buying element so thoroughly whipped that it lost both strength and money, also confidence. The oldest and gamest speculators are temporarily at sea. Abnormally large receipts have cluttered the tracks and congested the elevators over the wheat and oats harvest season, as never before Farmers have seemingly been mar keting regardless of high freight rates and declining prices. On top of this the general shrinkage in all commodity values, unsatisfactory trade conditions, and the pressure of an army of idle men to find employment has been most depressing. All of these conditions will eventually be, remedied, of course, but in thi3 time of waiting the tendency is, and will be. to go slowly and safely In every channel of production and investment. Lack of Buying Power. We have just passed through a week of drastic liquidation of grain contracts, resulting almost in demoralization of the markets, due, it is claimed, to absence of general speculative buy ing, partly due to action in congress under pressure of various farm groups. The papers have been filled with echos of this controversy, and need not be rehashed here. The effects are all that concern us. now. In the face of export purchases of nearly 10,000,000 bushels of wheat ; during the week wheat finished at an average of 10 cents per bushel under the prevailing figures on Saturday. Aug. 13. Wheat struck the bottom of the season on Saturday and corn and oats were the lowest since 1906. "Were it not for the support from speculators the grain trade would be in a more demoralized condition than now exists." says Charles D. Michaels market editor of the Tribune, in regard to the declines in prices during August. Corn Also Tumbles. Corn is nearer a general 50 cent level than for several years; in fact, it is bringing less money on western markets than it is selling for on Wayne county farms. Not that elevator men can afford to buy and ship at these higher figures, but because local feeders are paying the price, this being under the cost of importing car loads. This is in line with the law of supply and demand, the Committee of Seventeen and others to the contrary, notwithstanding, as shown by purely local circumstances. Just as with other grains, old corn has been rushed to central market, and that there HARRY KATES AUTO DAMAGED SATURDAY An automobile belonging to Harry Kates. 3S South Tenth street, was

THE RICHMOND PALLADIUM AND SUN

was much of it in the hands of farmers has been amply proven. World Conditions. The fact that the world needs all our surplus grain is conceded. We also know that it has been taking our surplus wheat in such large quantity that we are beginning to take stock of what we may still be able to spare. It isn't a question of what or how much the world needs, as what it may be willing or able to pay for. This is the crux of the export problem, even if a large part of the world is now hungry, and more of it may be on short rations before the next harvest is available. This explains the anxiety at Washington to provide credit machinery to finance all food exports, including meats and fats as well as grains. Live Stock Prices The receipts of cattle at the seven principal western markets last week totaled 281,000 head, and were the second largest of the year. There was very little trade in cattle in Chicago on Saturday, and the tendency was lower, especially on common and in between grades. The warnings sent out to shippers went too late in the week to affect shipments from the far west for the Monday market but it is expected that nearby shipments will be heavily cut the present week. There were 24,000 cattle, 44,000 hogs and 29,000 fresh sheep at the Chicago yards Monday morning. Hogs made an early top of $9.60. Indianapolis received 5,000 hogs and quoted $9.75 as top up to 10 o'clock. December wheat struck $1.14 early Mondav and September wheat sold between $1.13 and $1.16 in the first hour. Corn and oats were firm and steady, there being a feeling that these grains have been sufficiently liquidated, at least for the present, and that oats are already on a hardpan basis: ' LINCOLN BOY SCOUTS SAVE WOMAN'S LIFE BY PATROLLING STREET (By Associated Press) 1 LINCOLN. Neb., Aug. 22. A' week's ' night and day patrolling in two hour shifts by 12 members of a local Boy Scout troop, cautioning and detouring traffic and passers-by in an effort to retain absolute silence surrounding a house in one of the city's busiest districts, results in saving the life of Mrs. M. E. Gardner. Declared by her physician, Dr. J. M. Mayhew to be near the point of death, resultant from an attack of poisoning and nervous collanse, Mrs. Gardner was given but a few days to live unless removed to a seclusion of strict quiet. Removal was impossible as the noise from traffic through closed doors sent Mrs. Gardner into convulsions. An appeal was made by Dr. Mayhew to the mayor of Lincoln. The mayor referred him to the police department. Inquiry at the police department elicited the information it had no patrols to spare and could do nothing for him. The suggestion was made, however, 'aat the Boy Scouts be considered. Squad Gets Busy. The result was that Ray Bolar, scoutmaster of Troop 31, called his squad together and laid the appeal before them. They unanimously decided to aid. The troop was organized, one boy being stationed on either side of the house to stop all passers-by and warn them ot tne situation, ine pa-

trol was extended to the street and,ed the practically solid minority

was maintained in shifts of two hours. Not until Mrs. Gardner was on her way to apparent recovery was the patrol relieved. "Perhaps the boys of Troop 31 would have preferred to earn their good deed by carrying out children from a burning building" Schoolmaster Boler says, "but it is seldom in' our daily lives that a life is saved in such melodramatic fashion." A special recognition and medal is being urged from national headquarters of the Boy Scouts by several of Lincoln's prominent men. ALIEN CREWS FORCE AMERICAN SEAMEN TO QUIT; LEGION CHARGE INDIANAPOLIS. Ind.. Aug. 22 That the employment of Chinese, Japanese, Portuguese, Spaniards, Greeks and Germans as seamen on American vessels is forcing American seamen out of employment, is the charge made by membersof the American Legion at Boston, who have appealed to national headquarters of the legion to assist them. The American seamen say it is impossible for them to exist on the wages paid the aliens. "Can a married seaman support a wife and be an Amprlran on S5ftn a vpar?" one of the complaining seamen asks, it B rh9rH that the American ship operator hires German crews at Hamburg, lands them in this country and hires them on the return trip as American seamen.

Fire Damages Electric of W. J. Hiatt, Sunday An electric automobile belonging to William J. Hiatt, 106 South Fifteenth street, caught fire at Twenty-third and Main street Sunday night and was virtually destroyed. The controller lever being left on with the brakes set Is said to have caused a short circuit which started the blaze. The fire department extinguished the blaze. Mr. Hiatt was attending the Chautauqua and knew nothing of the accident until late in the evening. Roof Fire Extinguished A small roof fire at the home of Frank Steinkamp, 71 South Seventh street, was reported at 7:30 Sunday morning. This was put out before much damage was done.

WILLIAMS TO APPLY FOR STATE RULING ON COUNTY SCHOOLS Application for a classification of the elementary schools of Wayne county under a plan approved by the state board of education this year, will be made this fall by County Superintendent C. Q. Williams. This action is not compulsory until September, 1922, for schools not seeking state aid, but Mr. Wiliams states he believes patrons of schools are en titled to know the ranking of the school which their children attend. Rating on Point Basis. All elimentary schools are to be given their rating on the basis of 100 points. The points are scored according to specifications outlined in a questionnaire sent out by the state department of public instruction. Any school which is given a rating of 90 or higher shall be known as a school of the first class, but shall be designated as a standard school. Any school which is given a rating less than 90, but 80 or higher, shall be known as a school of the second class. All schools which fail to meet the requirements for classification in th? first or second class shall be known as schools of the third class. Mixed Schools Are One The elementary grades which are in the same building with the hig'i school, will be classified with the higii school, and shall be 'considered as a part of the same school. The state department states that a high score on the questionnaire is desired in order, to give good opportunity to the boys and girls. A low sco.e necessarily means little opportunity, it is said. Classification will be made by the state board of education on the recommendation of the elementary and high school inspectors. The grades are based on a survey of the school grounds, building, heating and ventilating equipment, school term, teachers and school relations, supervision and janitor service.

GREATER EFFICIENCY SEEN IN RURAL ROUTE SERVICE, SAYS BECK . Rural routes operating from the local postoffice are becoming more efficient every day, according to a report given out by Postmaster Beck. This is largely due to the fact that many

of the rural people are taking better care of their mail boxes. Patrons who have heretofore done very little toward keeping up their mail boxes are having them painted and their names stenciled plainly, so that at the present date there is only a small per cent cf the patrons whose boxes are not in first-class condition. Best Routes in America Postmaster Beck says there are no better rural routes in the United States than the routes operating from" the Richmond office. This is due to their people keeping their mail boxes in handy places and with plainly stenciled names on them. Many people who have paid very little attention to their mail boxes are now getting them in such condition that it is very easy for the mail carriers to make fast deliveries. Mr. Beck said he thought in a short time all the mail boxes would be put into first-class condition. RED CROSS OFFICIAL CHARGED WITH THEFT (Br Associated Press) WASHINGTON, Aug. 22 C. E.

The task of linking up machinery in Ohio, with that of the United States Grain Growers' Inc., has been undertaken by the Ohio Farm Bureau federation. Ohio farmers, through the federation, are organizing the "Ohio Plan," a statewide co-operative grain marketing plan. Its completion, it is expected, will see practically all of the grain elevators of the state in control of the farmers. One of the first steps in the movement, it is announced, will be to establish co-operative local elevators wherever one is justified, and one is already not in operation. "Wherever possible,' elevators already established will be taken over. The other immediate step will be to set up a state sales agency. This is the Co-operative Union Elevator at Cleveland, stock for which is now being sold to local farmers' elevators only. The co-operative union elevator has a capital stock of $300,000, and a third of this already has been sudscribed.
