GRAIN PRICES (Mrkeis by K. F. Leiani Company, 212 Union National bans Building) . CHICAGO, 111., July lo. WheatToday's market was the dullest in a long time with prices holding steady in a narrow range. The close did not show much change from the opening which was a little higher than yesterday's close. There was nothing to suggest to export business of consequence while hedging pressure .is increasing and threshing has been resumed in the southwest. The trade consequently anticipates an enlargement of movement the latter part of the month. There were more reports of rust in the northwest with temperatures there higher than on yesterday. The forecast there is for cooler weather tomorrow. '- Corn held within a very narrow range with trading mostly local. The close showed a fair reaction from the opening. Export brokers were after corn here today following the large sales of yesterday and heavy reduction in the stocks is expected soon. Weather and crop news generally favorable. Oats very dull and trade mainly local. The close showed more firmness than in corn. Cash market a little higher. Oats are a sale on the bulges. RANGE OF FUTURES (Markets by E. F.

This young sire is a half brother to Fauvic Star, the world's record Jersey cow, which recently produced in one year 20,616 pounds of milk, or 1,005.09 pounds of butter fat.

I A committee m three farm Lureai members, Everett Hunt, Whitewater, county president, Ed Deitemeyer, Richmond, county secretary, and Isiah Fncker of Cambridge City, met early Saturday morning to discuss rumors concerning the re-election of Mr. Do: lan. Dolan's re-election has been recommended by the Purdue authorities and requested by the county farm bureau, the township farmers' associations, and various breeders or other farmers' associations of the county One rumor, that Mr. Dolan had withdrawn his name from consideration as a candidate, was denied Friday. Send Telephone Messages. Telephone messages were sent to township trustees Saturday afternoon by Mr. Fricker, apprising them of the situation, especially of the many contradictory rumors, and urging them to be present this evening to hear all thei evidence and to assist in clearing up the matter. Representative Richmond citizens and officials of the civic organizations were visited by the other two committeemen, Mr. Deitemeyer and Mr. Hunt, during the afternoon, and invited to attend the meeting to hear the expressions ot farm bureau members and to state the feeling in the city and among their acquaintances, re garding the county agent. In addition to letters announcing the meeting, which were sent to all communities Friday night, word was sent by telephone on the same night, to one farmer in each community, with a request to notify his neighbors. Williams Leaves City It was learned early Saturday morning that Mr. Williams, who is chairman of the county board of education, and upon whom rests responsibility for calling the meeting next Thursday which is to consider the county agent election, has left the city for a few days. "I am no longer concerned with this matter," said Mr. Williams Friday. "I have been trying to get a compromise between three factions, but it had gone too far now and I have washed my hands of the whole affair. There is strong opposition to Mr. Dolan both in and out of the county, but I am neutral and have been trying to make peace. "Every proposition I have presented, every one of which has been presented by others, has failed and I can no lo'nger do 'anything. Mr. Williams denies that he told Raymond Farst that the members of three civic, organizations of Richmond Kiwanis, Rotary and the Ministerial association were opposing Mr. Dolan, saying that instead he had made exactly the opposite statement, that he understood they were supporting Mr. Dolan. Coleman Expected. Mr. Coleman, state county agent leader, who denied in telephone con versation Thursday that he had. "practically withdrawn his recommendation of Mr. Dolan," was expected to arrive in Richmond by 4 o'clock Saturday afternoon.

Tho members were in no hurry to begin threshing, preferring to finish haying laying-by of corn, etc., so as to make . a rapid and consecutive clean-up of their threshing, when ready to "go."; , Well, one fine afternoon the man in i charge of the co-operatively owned : rig, got all set and proceeded to thresh out one crop, possibly his own Of this we are not sure but at all events that single crop is the only one cleaned-up, at least up to Friday night. It is now agreed that the business shall begin in earnest on Monday morning, if no rain intervenes. Following the final clean-up of the wheat fields for the season follows the annual picnic. And history relates that it is "some picnic." We have so far been unable to take in that picnic, but intend this year to be "among those present." Threshing is a nice, easy, restful occupation, as the men who do the work and the ladies who serve the hungry hordes of threshers with bountiful dinners, will not deny. But, speaking for ourslves- theT Picnk; 3 ,the real4. thmg' It stands for an entire sea Qilvl i son of effort; of sowing, reaping and garnering: and is the happy climax of the whole important matter. We must not be understood as in timating mat. tne ring inrauoaeu is the only one to picnic at the closa , of the season Far different There will be a number of such picnics held in all parts of the state, and particularly where the rigs are owned co-op-eratively and the same people compose the neighborhood ring, from year year. ' Best Hatching Dates A. G. Phillips, of the Indiana experiment station, says: "I want my pullets to start laying between October 15 and November 1, and in order to accomplish this I find that hatching about April 10 is best time with Leghorns." He also indicated that Ply-

The professor states that where three hatches of Leghcrn eggs are made In the same incubator, the first hatco ougnt 10 come on -uuuu ." the second about April 10 and the third April 30 to May 3. With the heavier breeds the first hatch should be taken off not later than March 5 and the third hatch not later than April 15 to 20.

Tip Top Melons moving The Vincennes and Decker districts of southern Indiana are once more in the lime light. Cause, why? Well, 'cause they are once more feeding Hoosierdom with their famous Tip Top breakfast melons, which may be eaten at any hour, or all day, depending on one's appetite. The first arrivals reached commission row at Indianapolis, on Thursday and sold at $4 per barrel. Evansville now reports carlot shipments of cantaloupes from Gibson county, for the first time this season, although earlier shipto reports from Macon.

Capper on Tariff-Maklnfl Senator Capper demands that "th Tariff Bull be taken out of the Chin Shop.'V Nor does he hesitate to tel! jus why. Mr. Capper is at ,the from in all matters relating to the tarifi on farm products. He is aggressivels a friend of the agriculturist and th manner in which he has been jumping on the Chicago Board of Trade Is a sin. We judge that the senator from Kansas looks upon the Board of Trade as an incorporated den of thieves, oi shall we say "gamblers" in the bread of the world? Senator Capper says that speculators in grain should b the second Capper-Tincher bill, to thai laudable end. But the senator says a few words about the American plan of tariff-making which are most timely. Inasmuch as our farmers are vitally interested in this subject we pass on a portion of the senator's remarks for your perusal. 'The picture he paint3 is nc cartoon. The condition he describes is just as it exists and has existed for years. The senator begins his argument, as follows: "Imagine all kinds and conditions of men to the number of 528 men of many minds and some with none, men from all parts of the country, men Innocent rf .viurf nr wnrldi1 knowledge of economic conditions as the babes in the voodand you hav(, the great American recipe for the Hraft, f taHff hv rorifrrps "Adding still further to these complications, 169 of the 528 men now in Congress are Democrats and believe in a tariff for revenue only. " On the other side are 359 Republicans who believe just as strongly in a protective tariff, one that will protect the products of agriculture and industry from the destructive competition of lower-cost foreign products." How Congress Collects Data "Congress, meanwhile, collects a absolutely impossible for It to digest or reconcile. Whatever measure either party finally adopts, is likely to be passed under pressure of special interests and political expedience and resultant tarif bill becomes tne subject of perennial political dispute ! nd much heated and tlresome debate until another one, either worse or better, is framed in the same futiltj way. "In these times, when a most carefully and scientifically adjusted tariff is a necessity for every commercial or industrial nation, because, of the world's chaotic economic condition, the United States is about the only country which continues to make the tariff a political football instead of an economic issue. The true purpose of tariff-making Is to equalize foreign conditions of production with home conditions of production in order to safeguard the wage-earner and the an(J thereby maintain producer from destructive competia whole some national standard of living. But unlike our foreign competitors we nearly always turn out a tinker's job B n1.;nM iA nln-mrci Chill Ci-k Scientific Tariff-Making . senator Capper believes in a tanrr commission, men who snail aevots their time to the many abstruse problems of international trade, in all its effects and industrial ramifications, and be thus fitted cover the field scientifically, in the best interests of our entire people. Senator Freylinghausen has introduced a bill to this end it is hoped that it will later be enacted into law. In the meanwhile Mr. Capper endorses the present senate bill, and says: "No better bill can be hoped for under our present method of tariff legislation." In conclusion senator Capper voices a wish that we can a:l endorse, when he says: 1 nope, now ever, mat. 11 win never try's lawmakers to waste weeks and montns OI ineir iinie, ana tue coun try's time, trying to do a piece of constructive work requiring great nlcetv of adjustment by driving a frenzied bovine back and forth thru the national china shop."
