GKA1N PKltbb Furnished by E. W. WAGNER 4. CO, 212 Union National Bank Bulldino. CHICAGO. Sept 10.. Wheat lives on spiritual bull excitement and the cotton pep. Cotton again around the high points--with December closing $20 85 up 103 points after a top of $21.45. Sellers in wheat and cotton have temporarily retired Argentine with crop news not clear today, but looks as if the talk of a possible 50 percent wheat loss for want of rain in two weeks is much exaggerated. Winnipeg cash wheat premiums 1 to 3c lower. Export United States corn . ind wheat sales this week look small. Farm reserves of corn large. New crop large and corn in general shows little change. Wheat visible should gain two million if wheat advances Monday and Tuesday. Tha 5 to 8c break now due may come in the mid die of next week. Much, however, rends on Argentine weather news.

MANY KILLED (Continued from Page One.) south of the city are coming in but the Light is unable to confirm them. Phil Wright, commissioner of fire and police, stated he believed the loss of life to be "very high." He could give no definite figures. He had just completed a tour of the flooded district. Troops from Ft. San Houston are patrolling city and aiding in rescue work. . The water supply is cut off as is the electric light and telephone power. Estimate of the loss of life reaches as high as 500 by police and lire officials. Water 16 Feet Deep. Water from the San Antonio river, which winds through the city and from its tributary, the Olmes Creek flooded the business section of the city lor many blocks to a depth of from 10 to 16 feet. The San Pedro creek on the west side of the city, which runs through the Mexican district, overflowed and joined the waters from the river and swept through the southern part of the city. Water stood 15 feet deep in the lobby of the Gunter hotel which is a block from the river. The flood reached to the Alamo Plaza on the east, which is five blocks from the river. The power house will be out of commission for at least two or three days. There is a partial telephone service. Water service will be cut off for at least 24 hours. Street car service is cut off indefinitely. . Houses Wrecked Both banks of the San Antonio river are strewn with the wreckage pf houses. A number of automobiles were swept away. Throughout the night the east and west sides of the city "were cut off from each other and it was only at daylight that the waters receded sufficiently to permit crossing by one bridge in the northern part. It is believed that the greatest loss of life occurred in the Mexican district. Residents in that sector were unable to get out though aided throughout the night by firemen and police and troops from Fort Sam Houston. SIOUX FALLS, S. D., Sept. 10.

STRENGTH OF WHEAT HELPS OTHER GRAIN ON CHICAGO MARKET (By Asso'ciated Press) CHICAGO, Sept. 10. Wheat was on the up-grade almost continuously during the last week and its strength carried the coarser grains along, al though not to the extent of its own advance. September wheat gained nine, December 10 and May 11 points during the week, while corn close last night showed it to be up two to 2 over the closing figures of a week ago, and oats 6howing some independent strength at times, jumped 3 to 4 higher on the week. The bulge was started early in the week when outside investment orders were increased; it continued when outside interests and local commission houses proved to be heavy buyers in I the middle of the week ana it reacned its high point yesterday on generally bullish news that more than offset the bearish government crop report, the drought in Argentine being a factor. Weak Corn Turns Firm. Corn was helped by the advance in wheat on every turn and on occasions, the bulge of wheat turned a weak corn market into a firm one. Oats was also assisted during the week by the wheat market but not to the extent that corn benefited, oats early showing independent strength, May oats showed the most gain, advancing from 41 to 43 during the week. during the entire week and decidedly, weak toward the end of the week. NEW YORK, Sept. 10 Recovery of; onntpd values in the stock market made more substantial progress this i week, the movement being attended 1 by a pronounced increase of operations and other accelerating factors. Developments at Washington and industrial and commercial quarters were distinctly helpful, while the Mexican oil situation offered ground for encouragement. Betterment in the steel and iron trade was seen in the increased production of pig iron. Shorts Reduce Holdings According to impartial observers, much of the week's appreciation of prices in stocks was made at the expense of professional shorts. That faction, it is generally believed, materially reduced its commitments in the last few days. Rails were the only important shares to hold back in the general advance. Their sluggishness was the more noteworthy - because of the strength shown by railway equipments, notably Baldwin and American locomotive and kindred issues. Call Money is Easier Money on call and time evinced an easier trend but bankers warned against further expectations in that quarters in view of cropmoving requirements and impending heavy income tax payments. The foreign exchange market was the only disquieting feature, weakness of German rates which extended to central European remittances bearing pertinently upon future reparations payments. Extension of merchants' credits to French, German and other foreign countries are under consideration by our bankers, as well as a large loan to Argentina. OFFICERS WELCOMED BY 'STILL' OPERATOR (Special to The Palladium). WINCHESTER, Ind.. Sept. 10.

The Farm and The Farmer By William R. Sanborn

Reports from the elevators owned by the Farmers' National Grain association at Kitchell. Boston, Witts Station and Fountain City are. to the effect that folks are beginning to take notice of the prospect that summer may not last the balance of the year. This is indicated by the fact that they are talking coal and buying coal, not in a large way as yet, but enough to show that they are beginning to appreciate the situation. Mr. Price says that this is also true as to the demand for coal here in town, at the elevator. All the elevators mentioned are paying $1.18 for No. 2 wheat today. This is an 8 cent advance over recent prices which held on for nearly a month. George Richards and Son of New Paris, reports arrival of two cars of coal this week, and a growing demand for fuel. He said that on present market basis they could pay 50 cents for old corn. They took in a little wheat Friday and paid $1.15 for it. He also said that farmers were now selling a few oats. He purchased oats liberally at harvest time and has a considerable amount in store, in anticipation of better prices later. The Show and the Dance Certainly you are planning to attend the show at Jackson park on Wednesday and Thursday, Sept. 14 and 15. But we started out to give you a little Information which may interest you. For instance after you have inspected some of the finest pura bred live stock, noted the displays of machinery and implements, etc., you 1 may be in a mood to dance. All right, go ahead. A fine orches tra will furnish the music in the pavilion. If you are not up on modern dancing; you can rest yourself by looking on. Don t miss the show. The numerous friends and relatives t me noagins iamny were out in force at the Ollie Hodgins farm sale this week. The farm is located on the old National road, one mile north of New Westville, and the place was thronged with visitors on Thursday. Wayne County Winner Frank A. Williams, owner of Fairfield stock farm near Williamsburg, has drawn the favorable attention of all Indiana to Wayne county, and the fame acquired will be noted by hog breeders all over the country. You see it was this way. Sez Frank,' "I'll hie me over to the state fair at Indianapolis to see what's showing in the hog classes. And by the same token we'll truck over a few hogs ourselves, to show what we are doing in the Big Type Poland China line right here in Wayne county." And by gosh, he did. His showing was so fine ana so complete that he was handed the ribbons on grand champion Poland China boar, on junior champion boar, also on grand champion Poland China sow. He also captured ribbons on champion aged and futurity herds, then called it a day. As all our readers know Wayne is noted for fine hogs of the various breeds, including Duroc-Jerseys, Chester Whites and two or three other well known breeds, also several quite famous herds of Polands. You will see all of these types at the Jackson park show on the 14 and 15. Colorado to Make a Drive According to latest reports Colorado had a farm bureau membershio of 1,665 Sept. 1. This does not satisfy the active element among the melon growers, potato men, etc., in the state, so a drive will be put on in October on a $10 per year basis, whici is more than the early "joiners" paid-. Wyoming has still fewer farm bu-BANKERT-SGHUGTE SUIT IS CONTINUED Trial of the damage suit of Mrs. Anna Bankert vs. Edward J. Schlicte, of Connersville, was continued until Monday in Wayne circuit court Friday evening. The jury will spend Saturday viewing the Schlicte store in Connersville where Mrs. Bankert was injured.

Work began this week on the construction of a new 100-foot steel pony truss bridge over Limberlost stream that, when completed, will relieve thousands of acres of lowlands from annual inundation during spring high waters, according to engineers of the state highway department. The new bridge is on the state road from Richmond to Fort Wayne and is near Geneva, close to the former home of Gene Stratton Porter, whose books brought fame to Hoosierland and especially to the Limberlost locality. According to Lawrence Lyon3, director, this bridge will have a 30-foot longer span than the old one, which is charged with causing high waters to back up and flood valuable farm lands with an annual loss of vast sums of money invested in agricultural pursuit.

WOMEN INTERESTED IN HODGIN AUCTION By WILLIAM R. SANBORN The Ollie Hodgin farm sale on Thursday was set for 12:30, but previous to that hour the Ladies' Aid of the M. E. church at New Paris, served a dainty lunch and ice cream, to all comers. The Hodgin families, for there are a number of them, rank with the old and favorably known settlers in this section, both in Wayne and Preble counties. This fact insured a good turnout at the sale and a large crowd was early on the ground. C TT-MnA,n rtl,4 Via Mr. Hodgin recently sold his farm and the sale was of the class most in teresting to the ladles. Mrs. Hodgin died some months ago, it will be re called, and the women of her large circle of friends were very much in evidence. Included in the offering of the day were many articles of household use, in fact, the complete furnishings of the home. A sale of this character requires ? time, there being so many items in that kind of a list, ranging from kitchen furnishings to pictures and rugs. This was the principal reason why the sale was not completed until 6 o'clock, or a bit later, as Weddle and Hindman. the auctioneers, explained. Charles W. Jordan, of the American Trust and Savings, made the settlements, and John E. Healey filled numerous sheets as sale clerk. The Hodgin families were liberally represented on these sheets, Frank Hodgin taking the parlor rug and numerous other articles, and Harry Hodgin, the victrola and a lot of furnishings. Live Stock Prices. The live stock offering was not large and sales were made on about the going market basis. Jack Knollenberg paid $170 for a pen of 10 gilts, and C. R. McClure got a pair of the same kind at $16 each. A grade Jersey cow with calf sold for $60 to A. McCame, and Jack Knollenberg and F. Osborne bought the other two cows for less money. Mr. Osborne got a pair or horses at his bid of $205. Harry Burden took the six tons of mixed hay at $8, and a small lot of corn in crib brought 47 cents. Thii; was awarded to Joe McPherson. A bunch of Duroc hogs, which was consigned by two neighbors, who thought this a good opportunity to dispose of them, brought something more than present market prices, as seems to be the rule where hogs are put up at farm sales. Ladies Who Served Lunch. Impossible, of course, to keep a crowd of hungry men good natured. ; This explains why the lunch is a feature of every good sale, and whythe ladies of the various churches of the county have so much money in their Aid society treasuries at the close of the, sale season every year. Not that they do not give value re ceived, for they do, and often more. You see, they bake and boil and d nate much besides their time, hence the extra money for the church. The ladies of the M. E. church at New Paris served the lunch on Thursday, the members of the Aid society present being listed as follows: Mrs. Ezra Slifer, Mrs. W. K. Martin, Mrs. Mitchell. Mrs. Henry Bragg, Mrs. E2ward Williamson, Mrs. George Keelor. Mrs. J. H White. Mrs. O. M. Pierce, Mrs. Y.a Kirkpatrick, Mrs. Jennie KessW. Mrs. Lewis Gallas, Mrs. J. H. Ben?on and Mrs. Addie McClure. Ice cream, bananas, peanuts, etc., were in demand after the lunch service and the receipts were said to be liberal. miFniinmmuiiiiumiMiiniini'.tiiiiitiimuMtniuittnmmiimrniiiniiMniniU! i Goodyear Tire Putty fills the cuts I in tires, increases mileage 50c. blcCONAHA'S GARAGE! ! 418 Main Phone 1480 1 NimummiiinnimHHiuimHniinjianiiiurtiuiiiinimiuuiHumiimiuiuu Winter Top Onion Sets OMER G.
