PAVING AT TRACKS That the recent decision of the Public Service commission at Indianapolis, exempting the street railway company from paving between the rails., may have a bearing on the South Eighth street situation in this city, is the opinion of City Attorney Kelley. The ruling, made Tuesday, will have to be passed upon by the supreme court before it becomes a law. Several years ago the city allowed the question of paving between street car tracks on South Eighth street to be held up because of high building costs. Lately the matter has been taken up again, and attorneys for the company had advised the city that the paving will not be done by tho company, as such action is not required by law. The order of the public service commission, which is subject to an appeal to the supreme court, establishes a precedent for a number of Indiana towns. It follows: "It is not the province of the commission to say whether the paving between the tracks should be paid for by the abutting property owners, by the owners of vehicles or by the city out of its general fund; but it Is certain that the street car riders, as a group, should not be assessed for such paving, and, therefore, that the ordinance should be held to be unreasonable."

The Farm and the Farmer By William R. Sanborn

I The old Michael Fleisch farm, located six miles west of Eaton on the (West road, was sold at public aucUion on Saturday, July 15, for $47,300. iThe sale was made in pursuance to (the Orders of court for the settlejment of the estate and Col. O. C ! Schwing of Eaton was the auctioneer. jThe tract contains 280 acres, which (makes the price bid by Joseph WqadMrlr Q little KnttQ tVtin tIKQ tiQn asvo

These plums were larger than any from California seen here this season, and also a sight , more deliclous. Living east on the National road i3 another man who sprays and cares for his fruit trees. As a result he was in Richmond on Tuesday with ever so many peaches, a wagon load we judge. This man, Mr. S. W. Hayes, says he has -a good crop of Solway peaches and that this is a peach year. And this is the universal report, from all parts of Indiana' where peaches are grown. It is also a melon year, a year of prolific growth and increased acreage in all the melon districts. And in spite of frosts at the wrong time and predictions of failure of the crop, Richmond is now supplied with home grown apples. No apples are now being shipped in. the home supplies being sufficient for all demands. Country Wheat Prices Although cash wheat prices advanced a trifle at market centers on Tues(day, there was not enough of a reac tion from Monday's break to stimulate prices at country points. In the Wayne area country elevators were paying 95 cents for No. 2. Over in Preble county the ruling price was 97 cents all day at all points reporting. The elevator at New Madison reports threshing pretty well along and say a few more days will see the wind up for this season. They are paying 97 cents and say that practically all farmers have sold direct from the machines. Barn threshing will come later. A. V. McClure, of Eldorado, says that field threshing is pretty well over, and that they were taking in wheat 1 from four or five rigs on Tuesday He thinks that not less than 40 per cent of the crop has gone into the barns, to be threshed on, at the convenience of the owners. His price is 97 cents. Paying 95c in Wayne The report from Pershing is that about half of the farmers, or a little better, have been selling, the balance have put wheat in store. The price on Tuesday at Pershing was 95 cents and receipts were light. It is thought that at least three-quarters of the threshing is now done. Boston was paying 95 cents on Tuesday as also was Hagerstown. The latter point said there was no urgency to sell since the price got so low. Virtually the same report was made by the College Corner Milling company. This concern is still paying 97 cents. Big Sow and Litter Club Edgar county, Illinois, is the home of the largest sow and litter club in the state, with an enrollment of 200 boy3 and girls, each the owner of a pure-bred sow and litter with which the work of the club is being carried on. The sows were purchased last winter by he county club leader, and each gilt was double treated for cholera as well as bred for spring litter. The banks of the county distributed the gilts to the boys and girls on condition that they return two sow pigs or their equivalent after the county fair closes this fall. "The choice of breed was left to the club members with the result that there are 70 Poland China sows, 6S Duroc-Jerseys and about 20 of each of three remaining breeds, the Chester White, Hampshires and Spotted, Polands. A Billion-Dollar Garden We count wheat and cotten as principal crops, and yet, in 1921, they both together were barely equal in value to the vegetables grown on the .truck grown on city and suburban 1 tA 1 lua 1 11 iMt uuiitru omtra. j i. we auui lots to the "garden sass" grown on farms, we find a total value just about equal to that of the entire national corn crop. Not all of these vegetables were sold, of course, but perhaps as great a proportion of them as of tho corn produced found their way to a. direct cash market. So far as that is concerned, the poultry products for last census year (1919) were more than a billion dollars in value and the dairy products nearly a billion and a half. These figures are interesting because they show how extremely Important the garden and the poultry! yard are to the farmers of the coun-j try; but because their yield and con-i sumption are spread ever a longer i Tomorrow Alridht - uun-s ttesn air, pood leep and an Kt Tablet to make your daya better.

The Fight on Filled Milk It has been taken for granted that the fight on "filled milk" has been waged by dairymen and farmers, and by the farm papers, exclusively. This is not true. The largest dailies in the country have considered this subject editorially, of late, as witness this form the editorial page of the Chicago Tribune. When The Tribune has an opinion it does not hesitate to express it, regardless of all pros and cons, or conflicting interests The editorial follows: "Enterprise in the invention of food substitutes and adulterations has not been abolished by our pure food legislation. One of the substitutions which is now getting attention in congress is "filled milk." Very few consumers know what "filled milk" is but in 1920, 86,000,000 pounds were produced and in 1921, 64.000,000 V. conaensea milk ini which the butter fat has been replaced' uuier iais, usually cocoanut oil, and experiments have demonstrated that the substitution deprives he product of valuable if not essential elements of food. Hygienists hold that there are no substitutes for butter fat and the conclusion is that "filled milk" lack's proper nutrition values. It is charged that many merchants sell "filled milk" as genuine or recommend it as of equal food value. As it may be sold cheaper than genuine milk, it is probable that many people are feeding it to children without knowing its inferiority. "Naturally the milk producers of the. country are opposed to this compeuuon, wnne tne -filled milk' manufacturers charge that their demand for prohibition is purely selfish. Tho proposed legislation should not be affected by such an argument The question is whether it is good public . vuv-uui vg or permit adulteration of food in such forms as may be imposed on public ignorance. The proponents of the Voigt bill, which is now in the senate agricultural committee, maintain that no labeling act will suffice to protect the public, and that an absolute prohibition of the introduction into interstate commerce of compounds of vegetable oils and skimmed milk or products made in semblance of milk is necessary. "Certainly the situation' should be given careful consideration by conf0eSnd,n iDtTSt f 0fit ould! be allowed to outweigh the right o? children to be protected from inferior food.

WILL DISCUSS BUS LINE ROUTES TONIGHT A special meeting of the ordinance committee and members of the city council who desire to attend, will be held In the citT hal1 Thursday evening jto discuss the routes laid out for the new ay dus line now Deing estaDlished in the city. Tentative discussion of the franchise for the line was conducted at a meeting of the committee of the whole held Tuesday evening, and it was decided at that time to consider the routes separately. Members of the council discussed (he proposed $75,000 bond issue at the meeting Tuesday. ated any conduct that would have thwarted what I was doing. Probably no man in congress would have raised his voice against me." TlPtwppn th frnl KtriVo .that Pnnso veft ended and the nresent ?oal ftrikl there was, as to the strike itself, much similarity; but as to the steps tho negotiations followed, there were differences. In 1902 the miners accepted the president's offer to arbitrate; in theh present case the miners declined. In 1902 the operators were solid in their refusal to, arbitrate; in the present situation, a considerable majority of the operators are willing to arbitrate, but a minority has refused. In the 1902 case, as in the present, the initial attempt to bring about arbitration failed. But in the 1902 case President Roosevelt, to use his own words, "refused to accept the rebuff, and continued the' effort to get an agreement between the miners and operators." He finally manoeuvred both parties into a belated acceptance of his order to arbitrate. It is within the possibilities that this analogy may again be fulfilled in the present case. In the 1902 case, as in some aspects of the present case, the real obstacle to arbitration, simmered down, in the end, not to matters of real importance, but to what seems at this distance an absurdly small point of prestige, of "face." How Roosevelt Won As Roosevelt described it: "The opjerators positively refused to have me appoint any representative of labor on the commission of arbitration. Hour by hour went by while I endeavored to make the operators see that the country would not tolerate their insisting upon such conditions; but in vain. They had worked themselves into a state of mind where they were prepared to sacrifice everything and see civil war in the country, rather than back down and acquiesce in the appointment of a representative of labor. "It looked as if a dead-lock were inevitable. Then, suddenly, after two hours argument, it dawned on me that they were not objecting to the thing, but to the name. I found that they did not mind my appointing any man whether he was a labor man or ' ? l0ng as he was not appointed of labor. Solved Difficulty "I shall never forget the mixture of relief and amusement I felt when I thoroughly grasped the fact that, while they would heroically submit to anarchy rather than have Tweedledum, yet, if I would call it ,Tweedledee, they would accept it with rapture. In order to carry the great and vital point and secure agreement by both parties all that was necessary for me to do was to commit a technical and nominal absurdity, with a solemn face. I This I gladly did. J announced at once that" I accepted h;TrTaVdow With this understanding I appointed the labor man I had all along had in view, E. E. Clark, the head of the Brotherhood of Railway Conductors, calling him an eminent sociologist a term which I doubt whether he had ever previously heard. "In publishing the list of the commissioners, when I came to Clark's appointment, I added: "As a sociologist, the president assuming that for the purposes of such a commission the sociologist means a man who has thought and studied deeply on social questions and has practically applied his knowledge." "The relief of the whole country was so great that the sudden appearance of the head of the Brotherhood of Railway Conductors as an 'eminent sociologist' merely furnished material for puzzled comment on the part of the press. - (Copyright 1922 by the New York Evening Post, Inc.)
