- GRAIN PRICES (Markets by E. F. Leland & Company, 212 Union Bank Building ) CHICAGO, Feb. 11 Wheat With a double holiday ahead there was considerable evening up in wheat late In the session which brought prices up to the highest on the session, although the range was narrow and trade rather quiet. Drought continues in the southwest and the forecast suggested no relief. Foreign markets were higher, rash markets dull and without significant change. There was nothing definite as to export trade. Corn Corn firmed up with wheat a little late in the day, but trade generally was not large and interest small. Country offerings here not as large as of late and there was a lessening of hedging purchase. Oats Oats were firm with buying by the northwest and scattered commission houses. Longs and cash

houses sold on the ud turn. Cash mar-

JONES & WISE SELL

CATTLE AND HOGS AT

SEASON'S BEST MARK By WILLIAM R. SADORX The Jones and Wise dissolution sale, on Friday, was " held on the Frank Jones farm, three miles north of Richmond, on the Union pike. It was one of the best sales of the season as to prices realized on both cattle and hogs. No grain was sold, excepting 125 bushels of corn, which fell to Bert Jennings at 60 cents. There were 22 head of cows and heifers in the sale ring, 17 of which were milk cows, and five yearling heifers. The farm had been run as a dairy and there were some pretty

good cows in the bunch. John Batche-

lor fancied one of the Holsteins, with

a young calf at side, and bid her ip to $125, thus topping the sale. Will Gray of Hollansburg, came next in line on Holsteins, his choice costing him

$92, after which Foster and NIchol

son got busy and took in a Holstein

at $85. When it came Anson Brum

field's turn to buy a cow, he selected a Shorthorn at an expense of $78.

Alonzo Davenport took a pair of red. yearling heifers at $57 each, while J. Snyder was content to take home a single red cow at $68. L. A. Orr and Son, of Liberty, captured four red calves at a cost of $102. Hogs at Fancy Prices There were six heads of Hampshire

It isn't every hour in the day that we are called to note the fact that a country elevator or mill has just declared a 6 per cent, or indeed any sort of a dividend. When such information Is received we immediately spread it upon the minutes, otherwise the farm page, so here we go. According to Z. D. Doddridge, of Pershing, the directors of the Farmers' Grain company met on Friday night and declared a 6 per cent dividend. Following this action the stockholders are in session in Odd Fellows

hall, at Pershing this, Saturday, afternoon, transacting the business coming before the annual meeting, includ

ing the election of directors lor me coming vear.

Mr. Doddridge says they have been

paying $1.20 for wheat most or tnis week, though but little . is offered.

The mnnaeer of the elevator at

Green's Fork says: "We are getting in a few jags of wheat at $1.20, and

are paying 50 cents for 68 pound corn, simply to supply our retail trade. We can't get corn enough now to do any shipping, as feeders need it and are picking it up freely when offered, also at all farm sales. " We are handling some feed right along and doing

a nice business in coal. We got in a car of coal this morning." The elevator at Green's Fork does not now rank os a "co-operative," but as company plant with nine stockholders, representative of the leading farmers in that section. Report From Collfrje Corner. In a little chat with the manager of the College Corner Milling , company that gentleman stated that, with the

exception of one lot which he had sold

broaden his market, as is often the case. But that will make no difference

to John Smith, farmer .unless he goes in for rubber boots.

Women In Farm Homes A writer in Farm Life takes un the

cudgels in behalf of the mothers in our farm homes. He quotes Izetta Jewell Brown, who utters a few words of wisdom, as follows:

Some of the home demonstration and farm institute workers have taken great pride in pointing out the "downtrodden and overworked" condition of farm women. It was an artistic line

of propaganda they handled, and we

an reu ror it to some extent. And now comes Izetta Jewell Brown, heav

en bless her, and says farm women are getting tired of this sort of publicity. 'The farm women, who have awakened to their own possibilities, 'say quite frankly that they want to start a campaign of optimism about country life,' she declares. "They don't want to be pitied or patronized, just understood and, if possible, a little idealized. They would appreciate it

for a change.' Since Mrs. Brown is a leader in the Farm Bureau movement, and has a notable influence in the organization, we hope that county agents and all other extension workers, as well as the brethren of the agricultural press, will consider her words and be wise."

she said she

could not offer any solution what

ever" of the Taylor tragedy and denied that she was in love with Taylor or had quarrelled with him. It was believed that letters of Miss Normand to Taylor, for several days reported missing but later found in a boot in a closet in the Taylor home

were considered during the district attorney's questioning of the actress. A report from Fresno, Calif., that the sheriff there planned to arrest to

day a man believed to be Sands inter

ested the district attorney and the

police.

Vital Element

Mr. Woolwlne said he would be very glad to learn Sands had been arrested, as he considered it a vital element in the case. Four detectives were in attendance at the district attorney's office at different periods during the examina

tion of Miss Normand and Davis and were reported to have started on unnamed missions early this morning. "Miss Normand, I believe has told me everything she knew about the case," said Mr. Woolwine after he and

Mr. Doran had talked with her. "This includes nothing more to connect Sands with the case than was in evidence previously submitted to me

by police detectives. I never saw a

case before so devoid of workable

clews.

The man tinder surveillance at Fresno was found late yesterday afternoon by J. M. Cobb, a rancher, who lives on the banks of the San Joaquin river. Cobb told the sheriff the man had been there only a few days and that the shack in which he was living had been built only a few days. While herding cattle Cobb came upon the shack, hidden in brush along the river bank, and also met the occupant. The man gave his name as Sands, according to Cobb, and answered the description of the missing former Taylor butler. , Postpones Visit A number of late daily papers were In and around the shack he said. When he reported the discovery to the sheriff he was shown a copy of Los

Angeles police bulletin and said the

evidence of good faith and to assure

that he would send a truck around for them, which he did. The Berkshire and Poland sows brought very fair figures. John Dick

son paid $49.50 each for a pair of Berkshires; Frank Taylor, a Spartanburg district farmer, was awarded two fine Polands at $47.50, and invested $50 in a pair of red gilts. James Wendie of the Camden, Ohio section, came up especially to buy sheep. He carted home the entire lot at an average of $7 each. Sale Totaled About $3,000 Speaking in round numbers, the

sale totaled $3,000, practically all for cows and hogs, as no horses, hay or

implements were put tip. The Ladies' Aid of the church at Chester served a satisfying lunch to a large crowd, with considerable profit to the church

As to wheat and corn he said they were paying $1.25 for wheat and 46

cents for corn. Some wheat is dribbling in but corn is being firmly held by the farmers. Asked as to sales of flour for export he said that there were times when they did some of that business but that with Canadian wheat and Hour at going prices, they cannot compete. Hazelrigg Importing Clover.

INCUBATION, REARING

OF CHICKS DISCUSSED

The selection of medium sized eggs for hatching, their proper ventilation during incubation and the supply of moisture, with the methods to be followed in rearing the chicks after hatching, were points explained by

W. A. Arnold, of the National Road

East, at the meeting of the Wayne Township Farmers association in the court house Friday night. . Large eggs are apt to be those laid by pullets who are not producing regularly, said Mr. Arnold, who also advised against use of tinted eggs, as this tendency might be transmitted. No drafts should be permitted to blow over eggs during incubation. Feeding of butermilk to chickens was recommended with the warning to allow no

leeding until some time after hatch

HIGHER WHEAT PRICES PREVAILED IN WEEK

(By Associated Press) CHICAGO, Feb. 11. Fears for the safety of the domestic winter crop have spelled higher prices for wheat this week. Compared with a week ago, the wheat market this morning was up 5 to 8V6 cent a bushel, corn showed gains of 3 to 44V cents and oats s,i cent to 1 cent. Provisions were unchanged to 22 cents higher. Dust storms in Kansas brought to a

climax the uneasiness which for a Ions while the wheat trade has shown regarding drought and other conditions

adverse to plant growth in Texa.,

Oklahoma, Kansas and Nebraska. With present world supplies generally acknowledged to be small, tliV chance that new wheat from the United States might fail to be forthcoming in adequate volume when wanted led to a decided flurry at one time, and prices jumped rapidly, the territory affected being equal to about half the seed area of the countryMany Sales Made. Immense profit taking sales resulted in temporary setbacks in price.; but were offset by the fact that quotations in foreign markets rose to a greater extent than was tha case here. Another stimulating influence was current talk that strong concerted efforts were in progress to make a bftter outlet tor farm products at re-v munerative prices. Reports ot" crop damase in Areen-

but into Indiana from Michigan and Wisconsin, -cold climate grasses much more suitable for use in this section than the clovers of the south. Mr. Hazelrigg says the demand for clover is now beginning to assume proportions and that the market is strong, with best Little Red and Alsike worth around $17. He states that this clover comes into the state with germination guarantees and will be tagged according to the new Indiana seed law. The clover seed crop in this section last summer may be considered a failure, recleaners tell us, there being mighty little good seed saved. It was very weedy, Is the claim.

Programs for the association meetings for a year ahead will be planned in advance as a result of a decision at this meeting. R. B. Morrow, the chairman, was introduced to appoint a committee to

plan the subjects to be taken up. The association also voted a contribution to the assistance of the corn show to be staged in Richmond on Feb. 20 and 21. Announcement that he would have a community corn testing plant in the office soon was made by J. K Dolan, who mentioned results of this year's corn testing in another county which indicated a high percentage of diseased corn.

is doing some business in feed and states that his coal trade has averaged fair for this season. The Fluctuating Hog Here are a few comparisons of .hog prices, showing the great American hog to be an erratic cuss, having an ever-changing valuation. It is this fact that makes the market so inter

esting and to be so closely watched. Now listen for a minute. Taking Thursday, for comparison, we find that Chicago hogs averaged $9.60 with a top of $10.10. This showed a net average gain of 55c compared with the previous Thursday. On the same day a year ago the average price was $8.85 and two years ago $15. But on

that date in 1919 the average price on the day was $17.90. In the meanwhile hogs advanced to still higher levels in all markets again on Friday, reaching $10.25 at .Chicago; $10.50 at Indianapolis, $10.75 at Pittsburg, and a top of $11 at East Buffalo. The Jericho Wool Pool Advices from Utah are to the effect that the wools in the Jericho pool, the accepted price barometer in the west, remain unsold, because the high

est bid, 38 cents, was considered too low. The pool is being reformed and

is likely to be enlarged. It is further

stated that minimum bids of 40 cents

will be considered. Free Hides Controversy The advocates of free hides at Wash

ington now admit that hides are likely to be added to the dutiable list, in

which case it is expected that compen

satory amies on shoes and leather will

follow. This shows that the farmer

can not expect to both eat his cake and have it. He can charge oft the trifle that the duties will add to the

selling price of his hides, in the expense added In the buying price of his shoes and harness. Not that he will buy imported shoes or harness, but the protected manufacturer best knows how to figure that combination out, America imports many fine leathers, both for shoes and gloves, and the duty will add to the cost, but not In

all instances. The foreign tanner may

To make the passage of claim bills doubly difficult, the house and the

senate each have a rule which makes the consideration of such legislation

suDject to a point of order. That is to say, when any bill of such a nature is called up, action on it must be postponed in the event any one member makes objection to its consideration.

There is a resident of Newcastle.

Ind., a veteran of the Civil war, who has been trying to obtain a settlement of a claim he has against the govern

ment, resulting from his war service, for over a quarter of a century. Representative R. N. Elliott, of Indiana, says.

Fails to Get Pay While this man -was serving as a

sergeant he was promoted on the field to the rank of lieutenant His rank as lieutenant was not confirmed until

about three months after his promo

tion, and he did not begin to receive the pay of a lieutenant until after his

commission had been confirmed. He

filed claim for the difference in pay

between that of sergeant and of a

lieutenant for a period of three months. It involved only a small

amount, but it was a just claim and its payment was authorized several

years ago by the U. S. Court of Claims

but this award cannot be complied

with until congress makes an appro- j priation. Representative Elliott has! introduced a bill for the relief of the! veteran, but he doe3 not know when it will get before the house. Representative Bland, of Indiana, says that he knows of claims which have been before congress for fifteen years. WOMAN, NEARING 103, DIES (By Associated Press) BLOOMFIELD, N. J.. Feb. 11. Mrs.
