GRAIN PRICES 1 (Mcreis t7 K. Laiasi & Cora r? any, ?12 Union National Bant Gilding) CHICAGO. Aug. 12. Wheat opened irregular -with prices unchanged to lower than the previous close. General selling soon after the opening caused a set back at which houses with eastern connections rallied the market to 1 cent on fair buying. The advance lacked support and the dragging tendency, which has been prevailing lately again put in its appearance and new lows were made. Threshing reports from the northwest averaging a good yield. With the rail strike settled and more rolling stock to draw from, the demand will have to be considerably Increased to make much of an impression on the amount which will be available at that time. With the dragging tendency prevailing we believe the market should go to lower levels. Corn opened easy witH prices ranging from to lower. September corn showed pronounced strength, reflecting the strength on cash corn premiums. Liquidation in the December and May held the prices down and they made new lows of 51 and 55 respectively. Primary receipts for the week were just a little under the corresponding week of last year and barring congested periods corn looks lower. Oats reflected the trend of other grains opened V& higher to M lower, then sagged off and made new lows. The present tendency seems to be to follow other grains. RANGE OF FUTURES (Markets by E. F.

. " GRAIN PRICES FALL BEFORE BIG SUPPLY AND SLACK DEMAND CHICAGO. Aug. 12. Burdensome receipts, slackness of demand both foreign and domestic, and bearish aspects of the government crop report, have led to decidedly lower prices this week for all grain . Compared with a week ago, wheat this morning was down 2 to 4 cents; corn off 3i to 5 cents, and oats 2 to 2 cents, with provisions showing a setback of 15 to 37 cents. Notwithstanding transportation difficulties, arrivals of wheat at primary centers were in excess of the movement a year ago and before as well as after the government crop report, were accompanied by new low price records for the season. Confidence on the part of domestic buyers gave evidence of having been checked by a disturbed industrial condition, with foreign purchasers apparently holding back because of uncertainties related more or less to the inter-allied conference at London The big yield of corn forecast In the government crop report more than offset as a bearish factor in all tha grain markets, the counter influence of a somewhat diminished estimate regarding wheat Government figures as to oats proved also a handicap on efforts to uphold grain values. Talk of a probable increase of the movement of wheat to Chicago was current as the week drew to a close, with arrivals in the northwest from the new spring crop reported as gradually becoming liberal. Corn and oats shared the descent of wheat to new low prices for 1922. Need of rain in the corn belt was given little notice. Provisions were depressed with hogs and grain, NEW YORK, Aug. 12. The strong technical position of the stock market was strikingly illustrated this week, when prices continued to move to higher ground in the face of increasingly serious strike developments. Trading was restricted, however. investors apparently being disposed to await the settlement of the coal and rail strikes before indulging in extensive market operations, but attempts of short interests to bring out liquidation were met with sturdy resistance RISINGER REFUSES TO SET SALE ASIDE EATON, Ohio, Aug. 12 Judge Ris-I inger, in common pleas court, refused to set aside a sale of real estate involved in foreclosure suit brought by Allen Andrews, attorney, Hamilton, against Ada and Samuel Keller. Andrews held a mortgage for $784. At public sale the realty brought $534. J juuu uye,' aiuoiuty, Xjclluii, was me purchaser, tl was appraised at $800. Andrews pleaded misunderstanding as to the date of sale, is seeking to have the sale set aside, and claimed on that account he was not present to protect his claim. He offered to bid more than the appraisement figure if the realty was resold. It is understood the case may be taken to the court of appeals. The realty involved is about two acres, with buildings, in the vicinity of Camden. Youths Hiking Throurjh. Carrying a considerable amount of i equipment, four Boy Scouts passed through Eaton Friday on a hike from New York city to St. Louis. Each of the lads is 16 years old and their appearance and names indicate they are of foreign extraction. They are making the trip by easy stages. They were well and apparently in good condition when they reached Eaton. They are equipped with scout credentials. The quartet hails from New York city. Births Exceed Deaths. There were 12 inore births than deaths in Preble county in the month of July, according to the vital statistic i report of Health Commissioner G. W. Homsher for the month. The births numbered 35 and the deaths 23. Four deaths resulted from accident the re port sets forth.

"3 THE
The Farm and the Farmer By William R. Sanborn
In a little chat with the manager of the flour mill at Liberty, on Friday, we learned that, despite the decline in wheat at central markets, they were still bidding $1 for No. 2 wheat, which meant after cleaning and testing. But bidding a price and getting the wheat are not always the same thing, and the miller admitted that farmers were selling but little grain. In his opinion there Is considerable wheat back on the farms, for the reason that so much threshing was done when wheat was below $1, the bottom price most farmers would accept. Having put the wheat away they are inclined to hold for more than a dollar, or at least to see what happens later in the year, or even next spring. The Liberty flour mill reports a fair demand for flour. In fact are selling their daily output right along. Is the statement. They anticipate a 100 per cent corn crop, in Union county and on south. Local wheat wa3 of good milling quality. The Eikenberry elevators at Camden reported on Friday afternoon that quite a little corn was moving and that their price was 60 cents. About 700 bushels of corn were taken in on Thursday, and several loads were bought on Friday, the manager reported. "This morning," said he, "we started out paying 97c for wheat; this afternoon, owing to the break, at cen tral markets, the best we can pay is 95c a bushel for No. 2. But farmers are selling very little wheat now. They are storing it Instead. We re ceived 1,300 bushels on Thursday, mostly to go into store. Threshing is over, except for some barn threshing which will be done later. The field threshing is all done." No Wheat Being Offered The Cook Milling company at Middlesboro, says the wheat supply has dried up. at least so far as they are concerned. Not a load has been o fered this week, although they got their share when threshing was going on and filled their bins at 9o cents to $1 per bushel. There is some flour selling all the time but the demand is not brisk. Mr. Schlientz, manager of the Farmers' Equity elevator, at Eaton, says that now that field threshing Is all done for the year, that receipts of wheat are light, although they did take in about 200 bushels on Thursday and a load or two on Friday. They have been paying 97 cents all week, but said that price was nof. on a shipping basis, after the drop on Friday. 95 cents being about right that afternoon.

Conway farm in Rush county was the scene of a lively pure bred Hampshire hog sale last Wednesday. This was the second sale put over by Conway and Dawson, who own adjoining farms and have been breeding Hampshires exclusively for several years. The offering consisted of 36 bred gilts, 7 fall yearling boars, in the breeding ring, and 50 barrows in the feeding class. The gilts, averaged 53.10 and the boars, $45.21 per head. This is said to be the best average j made on gilts at any sale so far in August. The first Conway and Dawson sale was made in September, 1921. Prf vious to that time all their hogs had gone at private sale, for a number of years. This spring the two farms vaccinated 600 spring pigs on the same day, said Mr. Conway, who was at this office on Friday evening. He announced another sale in September w dpo iuu neaa win oe pui up. uus-iy Miller and Clarence Carr, two Rush county auctioneers conducted the sal?, which lasted one hour and thirty-five minutes. Visiting buyers from several counties were present. A Strike For Cheaper Bread It seems rather strange to read of a whole city going on a strik to force a reduction of the price of bread, but this seems to be just what happened in Lisbon. Portugal. The strike was called off on Thursday, following a declaration by the government that the price of bread would be reduced. The strike was caused by an advance in the price, put into effect a short time ago. The strike lasted for several days. If bread is so high as to cause that kind of trouble we wonder what the farmers in Portugal are getting for wheat, also wrhat American winter wheat, the kind we have been selling at country elevators at 95 cents to $1, is worth in Lisbon flour mills. Exchange Sells Peaches The Farmers Exchange company, owners of the elevator at West Manchester, in Preble county, have decided to give the women of that section a supply of choice peaches for can ning and preserving at very reasona-! ble price. They are trucking in these selling to all comers at $1.25 per bushel. The peaches are going like Dr. Simpson's Vegetable Compound is recommended by hundreds of people who have been helped by its use.

Certified Potatoes Paid The report of G. A. Roser of Franklin county, Ind.. is good evidence of the value of planting certified seed potatoes. Mr. Roser dug 236 bushels of potatoes from each acre where he used early Ohio seed and only 150.7 bushels per acre where he used ti.6 best of his own seed of the same variety. T. C. Beal, county agent, weighed the potatoes as they wn log from each row and recorded i-J exact figures.

This is Sfrious ,houSht, not alone ?-fUfrenng pub,!c- but on tbe par: of strikers who have brought loss and suffering on so many and are threatf?inS still further impoverish thousands of their fellow citizen, who have no part in their quarrel If thC tyiDS up of trains fruit fft.tovrot the ofchards and melons ,n the fields, who is benefitted? No one. And if coal cannot be mined, or if mined, cannot be moved and labor is made idle what then? rnis is what the Orange Judd editor says about it: "The coal strike and the railroatj sirike have reached a point where tb partial discontinuance of of labor on ,"rc lw" djumc industries is seriou?lv nitirin,. . L r srucrai marKeung conditions disturbed. The government is moving to force maintenance of as much service as possible and has already issued orders looking to control of coal distribution and to coal rationing In accordance with paramount necessities. "As the situation grows more acute there is an increasing disposition on the part of the public to demand a settlement, any kind of a settlement and this impatience is likely to Ios sight of fundamental things and urge action that is not only economicallyunsound but will give us permanent injustice as the price of temporary relief." The Basis of the Trouble "The basis of the trouble is the determination upon the part of those employed in railroading and coal mining not to join with the rest of the people in accepting an adjustment from war time to peace time conditions. When we talk about wages, if we will just remember that the dollars received are important only as they represent what other nnni duce and have for sale, we will get a clear view of what is involved. When the coal miner or ttne mH. road man or "the mine owner or th railway stockholder demands tb same income in dollars that they c joyed two years ago they are asking for more bushels of corn or wheat, more pounds of meat or quarts of milk, than they were getting two years ago. The reverse of this is that the farmer for his labor in producing these things is getting less coal and less transportation than he is entitled to under any fair exchange of labor effort "There can be no general prosperity and no just settlement of this controversy until the purchasing power of industrial labor comes to a basis of equality with the purchasing power of farm labor."
