Furnished by E. W. WAGNER & CO, 212 Union National Bank Buildina- - CHICAGO. Aug. 24 Grain markets helped by an all round cash wheat demand, large export com sales, slow Winnipeg receipts, and recovery of bull confidence. Kansas City cash 1 to 3c up. Other bullish (actors are cotton strength, liberal Chicago wheat shipment, Chicago sale of 510,000 hfrat since close Tuesday. Minnesota good wheat 3-5 up. In the background we have the billion dollar c redit bill which at least adds a little bull hope. Kansa3 City wires us east and northwest mills taking their wheat.

Constitution Needed For British Dominions (By Associated Press) LONDON, Aug. 24 An imperial constitution, which would include within its scope the United Kingdom and all British dominions is necessary, declared Lord Milner, former colonial secretary, speaking last night at a farewell dinner given in honor of Premier W. F. Masset of New Zealand. Premier Massey will sail on Thursday for Canada, enroute to the antipodes and last night he was the guest of the New Zealand colony in London. Lord Milner added that a constitution in some form would become absolutely inevitable. He said it might not be a written document, but that it certainly would be something more tangible than the present agreement. Premier W. M. Hughes of Australia left London yesterday on his homeward journey. He will spend a week in France, where he will present an Australian flag to the city of Amiens. He will also unveil a cross in honor of Australian soldiers who fell at Villers Bretonneux in 1918. Ohio Boxing Association Gives Downey Championship (By. Associated Press) COLUMBUS, O.. Aug. 24.

The ZR-2. was driven off her course by a terrific electrical storm early in the morning.

The weather at Pulham was improv ing hourly, and it was expected the airship would sail for that place today landing this afternoon or evening. The perfection of devices for communicat

officer of the airship detachment at Howden. It was pointed out that as a naval scout, the ZR-2 was the equal of several scout cruisers and that when provided with helium would have been practically invulnerable. In this con nection it is interesting to note that the United States government, having. a practical monopoly on helium, is the only nation today in a position to have helium-filled airships. Helium, besides being non-inflammable, is almost as buoyant as hydrogen. The navy's helium plant at Ft. Worth, Tex., the only one capable of extracting the elusive element from Texas natural gas. is in daily opera tion Naval experts say however that more than 100,000 cubic feet of nafuraf gas'wenffin'cl ffi'p&e2l tgiJV,T , t i JLPi2S " I By a rSnVenThe navy department says, the ZR-2 could h be conwted lnto , COmmerc a,hI ble of M , imatelv 40 tons of reight and as many as 65 passengers on a singe trip.

The Farm and The Farmer By William R. Sanborn
The Elizabeth Cook farm, just north of Jacksonburg, has been leased by William Conaway, who will take possession some time this fall. Mrs. Cook j a - rt V a1 A a A i c crwln t i rvn - fa I Monday at wh.ch very fair prices were paid and Mr. Conaway was one of the heaviest buyers. We are in receipt of a Duroc Jersey bred sow and spring boar sale catalog from George Briggs and Son, of Clay Centex, Nebraska, sale to be held -on Tuesday, Aug. 30. :Why not market your grain the Duroc way?" is a question they are asking Nebraska farmers. Our Duroc friends will appreciate Mr. Briggs' reference to Orion Top Col. Hillcrest Giant and Typemaster. Many of our farmers will recall our statements in the spring of 1920 with reference to numerous litters of weak and dying pigs being reported, both in Wayne and Preble counties, and in fact from spots all over thf Richmond radius. This was also true in a lesser degree of the fall pig crop, and most farmers were at a loss to explain it. Lawrervce Mull's Experience. No such complaints had been received by The Palladium this season until this week, when one lone instance was 'Cited Lawrence Mull, living on Route A, Richmond, and who has quite a mileage of Nolans Fork fishing grounds on his place, told us that five' old sows with large spring litters had produced mostly dead ones, the salvage being but 7 head. Mr. Mull lives a mile east of Olive Hill, on 180 acres which he purchased ten years ago this fall. He now has 44 head of cattle, mostly heifers and young stuff on the place; also 12 fall bred sows nearly due, the fall male hogs having all been sold. Mr. Mull mises his own cattle and has a habit of saving his heifers for that purpose. He was fortunate 1 enoueh to have had Romp ernnri1 KtnrVlr . tYlfZ netted him $11.75 at Indianapolis. This spring he sold three young steers and two heifers, on the place, for an
even $300. He says that he used to!stamig on the south road immediately
raise horses and "because very few farmers are now raising colts, and horses will always be in demand for farm use," he believes this to be an opportune time for horse breeding. Complaints About Indiana Corn. Crop inspectors for Chicago Board """" " To the contrary some are telling of an 1 , . ' undue Proportion of nubbins, poorly filled ears and barren stalks. Ihese ;statements are endorsed by similar ones from co-operative reporting agen cies, covering both Indiana and Illinois. In Illinois the earworm is now said to be cutting the yield in many places, and there is also, tie same complaint as to nubbins, etc.. in different areas. r ail plowing is wen unaer way m uui.ii states, where conditions permit.

Thousands of tons of Rock Ford and other varieties of breakfast melons are now ripening in New Jersey, right in the Tipart nf thA cnnsnmine- diitrif t It is said that this is the best and biggest crop the state nas ever produced, but that growers are to get the smallest portion of the receipts from the crop. Commenting on this, and on retailers profits in general Produce News says: "The retail markets have not reflected the price farmers received for their produce as they once did and the a, ,.,;e ,.,.., i, f.. - . raIseg have been twice or three times mor betwesn mailers and consumf rs than before the World War." Crmlnh D-,. Will Ri.eman ne of he st "" of bitant freight rates and their effects P Producers' prices may be shown in connection with the Georgia water melon crop. One Chicago receiver cites a recent case where Georgia; melons paid freight rates of 73 and 80 ! cents per hundred pounds, the freight on one car being $200 and on the next $225. As a matter of fact the growers of these melons receievd but $50 a car for them, owing to depresseo prices at the marketing points on day of sale. Isn't it fair to ask why the carrier should receive four times as much for the haul as the producer go: for his product. And consider for a moment the labor In growing, picking, hauling and loading a carload of watermelons. We figure that the con sumers of these two cars of melons, if j sold to Chicago restaurants and dl
vided into ordinary 15 cent cuts, would pay something less than one million dollars for the fractions. On one car of Idaho potatoes the shipper last week received a return of but $17. Talking about hard luck, Mr. Farmer, what do you think of'that for a dose of it? California potatoes are paying freight and icing charges of around $500 a car, mostly more. Take a sample car, for example: Freight, $476; ice. $32.47; tar service, $21; other charges. $13. All of this resulted in a return of but $48 to the grower, less 10 per cent commission. How's that for a potato deal, think you?
