GRAIN PRICES (Markets by E. F. Leland & Company, 212 Union National Bank Building) CHICAGO, June 6. Wheat Short covering and lack of any pronounced selling pressure gave the market a strong tone until within a short distance of the close, when there was considerable liquidation, resulting In breaking prices to a new low for the day. Prices up to this time were up about one cent from yesterday's close, but the late slump showed the range between the low and the high of the day 2 cents to 3 cents, the latter for July. Crop news was mixed, a few unfavorable reports coming from Nebraska and the northwest. Other news was generally good. Liverpool was much lower upon resuming business after the holidays. Harvesting in the southwest is progressing rapidly and will be under way in part of Kansas next week. Corn Corn had a comparatively firm tone until late, when prices weakened with the decline In wheat. Reports on planting continue favorable. Weather conditions keep up good. The best buyers for the day were shorts. Receipts liberal and there are large stocks of old corn. Oats There was heavy selling of December by houses with northwestern connections.

Interesting Handicraft At Chicago Exhibit CHICAGO, June 6 Dainty evening frocks of the vintage of 1922 and ancient Egyptian costumes, all made by students of design at the Scool of Art Institute of Chicago were displayed side by side at the school's exhibition here, with other specimens of handicraft. The Egyptian costumes, which were completed by weird animal masks representing deities of the Nile were used in the Mardigras of the school this spring. A new departure in art schools the normal class in printing arts was represented by a book which the students designed printed and illuminated. School officials maintain that definite artistic training for setting up a design in type is needed as well as for drafting it and that such training is also desirable for efective arangement of a printed page. Wooden animals and little cupboards were among those made and exhibited by normal students. A new kind of pottery which normal students have been experimenting was shown it was made after the manner used by American Indians and was not retired, as is customary, nor glazed, after the design was painted upon it.

Preparing for the babies in the next 100.000,000 increase of the United States population, who he predicts will bring a demand for more goats than can be raised, Charles A. Stevens, wealthy Chicago business man, is breeding the Cinderella of the American barn yard. Mr., Stevens plans to invite distinguished visitors to a goat auction on his estate at his fashionable summer resort June 24, and at nhich he will dispose of a herd to 12 other persons who also are starting in to develop goats for their milk. These 12 also are said to be wealthy. The auction is not confined to these 12. but no other bids are expected. The invited guests will include railroalroad officers who have charge of agricultural promotion on their lines, presidents of leading agricultural colleges, prominent physicians, including baby specialists, together with officers of infant welfare organizations, sanatoria, and kindred institutions and agencies. The sale will afford opportunity for the study of milk goats and methods of breeding. Mr. Stevens, according to his own account, started his first herd three years ago with three does, using an old horse and carriage stable. He learned, he said, that the supply of pure bred does has become inadequate to the demand. WEST MANCHESTER, Ohio. Born to Mr. and Mrs. H. C. Sellman, at Greenville, a daughter, Elaine Trone.

"The savings to the railroads far exceed anything justified by the savings to the public in reduced rates," the dissenteis said, adding that pay. roll slashes during the last six months of 1921. had been made including layoffs, at the annual rate of $1,300,000,000, in strong contrast to the increasing prosperity of the roads." "The increasing antithesis between profits and just wages will result in lowered morale, thus reductions will not result in economies," the minority opinion said "The majority failed to carry out the function for which the board was created," continued the minority report. "Such decisions giving on explanation to the public of the process by which the majority arrived at the rates established gives the public an impression that these rates are not founded upon a cadeful consideration of facts. "The duty of the labor board, as a constructive, impartial body, is in providing means whereby railroad employes can have Uieir legitimate hu:nan needs studied without recourse to stoppages, and to enlighten the public so that through the state of unregulated industry and the confusion t f propaganda, they shall be able to see the real facts as they affect the body politic. This decision fulfills neither of these duties." , LILLIAN (Continued from Page One.) i lapse and yesterday afternoon was so ill that members of the family were summoned to the bedside.

HISTORIC PAGEANT GIVEN AT EARLHAM The historic pageant of Earlham, "In Quest of Freedom," written by i Walter C. Woodward, for a number of years connected with the history department of the college and now president of the board of trustees, was presented successfully before a crowd estimated to number over 2,500 people at Chase stage last evening. The entire performance was given In an impressive, manner, practically every member of the Earlham student body participating in some part of the pageant The presentation was divided Into seven episodes and depicted in various scenes the gradual development of the college and the ideals for which it stands. Chase stage, which was formed in 1911 through the efforts of Professor Chase, furnished an ideal setting for the staging of such a dramatic production as that of last evening. An outline of the pageant is as follows: Introduction The hymn to freedom, pageant processional; the prologue; "Send Forth Thy Light." Episode One In the land of bond age; scene one, the issue; scene two, the departure. EDisode Two On freedom's soil; settlement in Whitewater valley. Episode Three The founding of Earlham; scene one, the vision; scene two, "Second day sixth month seventh 1849;" scene three, teaching by example; a foretoken of Earlham. Episode Four Recognition of the new learning and the aesthetic. Episode Five Developing "the gift; Ionian and Phoenix; schools in selfexpression, 1S97. Episode Six For faith and freedom, 1987. Episode Seven Fulfillment of a promise; the jubilee observance, 1922. Although in the production of a massive dramatic presentation such as that of the pageant no outstanding characters may be shown, yet those who were of the leading merit were Margaret Nicholson, playing the part of Faith ; Elizabeth Thomas as th. Spirit of Earlham. and Ruth Day as Betty Hoover, with Vernon HInshaw playing the part of John Hoover. An important feature of the pageant was the costuming with the old Quaker bonnets and picturesque attire of the entire personnel. The lighting effect also was very beautiful. primary cause of her illness and death occurred when she was violently thrown on the ship during a storm. Death Is Surprise. The effects of the injury were not immediately serious, nevertheless, and although she steadily failed in health after her arrival home, even those most closely associated with her were not aware of the decline. Mrs. Moore's trip to Europe was undtf taken at the requestof Secretary of Labor James G. Davis for the purpose of making an intensive study among prospective emigrants to the United States. Mrs. Moore, who was very well known throughout the country for her interest in civic matters was in great demand as a public speaker and only a short time prior to her death filled a number of engagements. She was actively interested in civic affairs in this city and was a leader in women's movements. In addition to her husband there were present at her bedside during her last moments her daughter, Mrs. Dorothy Calbit, and her niece, Miss Mildred A. Martin. She is also survived by two sisters, Mrs. Suzanne Westford Allen of New York city and Mrs. Hattie Leonard Colubrn of Schenectady, N. Y. The funeral probably will be held Thursday at Trinity church with burial in this city. CHICAGO. June 6.

Now there are an army of; people who prefer a nicely broiled or fried chicken to pork chops and cream gravy, as described on bills of fare, and particularly so, when after, months of daily service, pork chop3 have worn out their welcome. The price of "springs'N has come down a bit. In speaking of what country buyers were paying last Friday and Saturday, over in Preble county, we stated that E. J. Parker and Co., of Eaton, were paying 30 cents a pound for spring chickens at farm gates.- This was correct but the printer seemingly disagreed, as he made it read "20" cents. This was so far out of line that we are moved to explain for the benefit of all concerned. When you read anything in this column we want you to feel that "It's so." - Country Butter and Cream The supply of country butter isn't large and the demand is limited. Farm women prefer to sell cream rather than to churn it during hot weather. This saves labor, the delivery of the butter to the store3, often in a melting condition, and at the same time brings in about the same amount of money, in presem market conditions. At this writing we are unable to quote a firm and stable price on country butter delivered in Richmond. The price just now seems about as soft as the butter, but so little is coming in, we are told, that the prices quoted on our market page are merely nominal, the receipts having fallen off so much of late. Now a word as to the price of butterfat, delivered in Richmond, and taken in at country points. It is known, of course, that prices vary according to circumstances, also that not all creamery men pay uniform prices. The wholesale price of butter governs creamery operations and the price of cream or butterfat are affected accordingly. Speaking of these differing prices note the 4 cents per pound range between the price paid at the Farmer'.Store in Hollansburg, 32 cents, and that paid by a Richmond buyer, 36 j cents, on Monday afternoon. At the I same hour inquiry at Fountain City! disclosed that "the butterfat price at Fountain City was 32 cents, delivered at the station. Winter Wheat Harvest Begins Some wheat was cut in Texas last week and operations will continue right along until the crop is cut. The season is not extra early in Texa? but is somewhat advanced in Oklahoma and southern Kansas, where wheat harvesting operations are soon to begin. Chicago grain houses have advices that the harvest will be on tha latter part of this week in southern Kansas, Oklahoma, southern Missouri, southern Illinois and southern Indi ana, It is claimed that prospects arej generally good, although there are chinch bugs in "Illinois, Indiana and j Ohio, as usual," according to the tel-i egram quoted. Red rust is said to j infest all three states, also eastern. Kansas, but no serious damage has i yet resulted. - j The government estimate for June will be issued on Thursday afternoon, June 8. It is expected that the report will show an increase of 15,000.000 to 25,000.000 over the May report, owing to improved conditions. Private advices from individual crop re porters to Board of Trade houses e3-! tlmate a winter wheat crop of 605,000,000 to 620,000,000 bushels. Wheat has been weak for several days and it is evident that cash wheat buyers are not inclined to open the ball on the new crop at high prices. The break in July and September wheat options indicate bear pressure. The break in wheat at Chicago has been followed by general decline in other markets. The price of cashi wheat was marked down to $1.10 at Richmond and' at some of our country elevators, on Monday. W. A. Sutphin Holds On The Indianapolis Live Stock Exchange took action last week in connection with the advent of the Producers' Commission association in that market, and because of the fact that a member of the exchange had become associated with the co-operative sales company, aaid member was duly expelled. While no information has been received from Secretary Crane, of the Indiana state farm bureau, we clip the following story from the Indianapolis Star, of June a': "The expulsion of W. A. Sutphin by! tne inaianapolis Uve Stock Exchange will have no bearing on the operations of the Producers' Commission Association, of which he is representative at the local 'stock yards, according to Secretary P. H. Crane of the federation of farmers' associations. - "Mr. Sutphin's expulsion was based! on a violation of a rule which provide?! that no member of the IndianaDolis 1 Live Stock Exchange may act as representative of an organization whose operations provide for a discriminatidn of rates of charge between stockholders, or other patrons, whether done under the guise of dividends or other mens." The Star goes on to say that Secretary Crane explained that Mr. Sutphin held his seat as "an individual and not as a representative of the Producers' association." The Star further

R. Sanborn

states that Mr. Crane said that: through enactment of the co-operative marketing law and the paekeand yards control act, it is now possible for farmers to market their live stock co-operatively at any public stock yards in the country, without holding a seat on the live stock exchange." A Shower of Chinch Bugs S We were not aware that It ever rained chinch bugs,, but listen to the story told by T. H. Parks, entomologist of the Ohio university. We quote from a letter just to-hand: "It rained chinch bugs in Marion one day late last month when countv agents of that region met to make plans for keeping the pest out of the corn. The chinches were passing frOTTI ttl U'nnHct i r t Vi o u-hcofr r ..-.v, - - ... .... iv, iiv o l oi, iuai. i rrt n T W 1, A It . . 4 io ao uttie damage, but about July 4, throughout all of the corn-producing part of Ohio, they will leave the wheat and march on the corn. "A tar barrier of some sort Is the only way to keep thein out of the corn. County agents know how such barriers are made and certain farm bureau members in a number of Ohio corn-raising counties have agreed to lay down demonstration barriers in their home townships." Flourishing under careful cultivation on adjacent plots all the varieties of oats, wheat, barley and soybeans that are grown in America may be seen and compared by field day visitors at the Missouri college of agriculture, June 21, 22 afid 23. Wisconsin Cheese Situation On Monday of this week the farmers' dairy market committee of 11 met at Plymouth. Wisconsin, with the Wisconsin cheese producers' federation, to investigate the cheese situation in the state, and to study the two cheese boards located in Plymouth. The meeting was called by the butteand cheese subcommittee. Secretary E. B. Heaton and the balance of the committee of 11 are in attendance. The co-operative marketing of butter and cheese, also their co-operative manufacture, Is an outstanding co-operative success, and has been for many years. The co-operative marketing association of the Burley tobacco growers recently paid an additional $10,000.000 to its members in KentueUv Ohio and Indiana who pooled thei: 1921 crop. The third and final pay ment will be made when all the tobacco in the pool is sold and settlement made.
