MARKET REPORT DELAYED ! Disconnection of communication lines from Cincinnati accounts for the absenco of the Cincinnati market reports today. graijjTprices ( Markets by Lamson Bros. & Co., 212 Union National Bank Building) CHICAGO, Sept. 5. Hedging pressure on account of increased receipts of wheat was more than offset by purchases by the seaboard against export sales. The volume of this tra"de is believed to have been large probably totaling several million bushels. Outside interest was limited and therefore was more remarkable. Corn was in good demand. Both from previous sellers and from traders in the areas where d. mage has been done by heat and drouth. In fact greater supculative interest was displayed In corn than any other grain.

Shorts in September oats were obliged to liquidate. Contrary to general expectations September has nar rowed up on the December. RANGE OF FUTURES (Markets by Lamson Bros. & Co., 212 Union National Bank Building) CHICAGO, Sept. 5. Following is the range of futures on Chicago Board of Trade today:

Eskimo Liberal User Of Soap, States Episcopal Missionary Of Tigaras ,, x.oo,

CHICAGO, 111., Sept. 5. The "longohio, will teach piano and harmony

standing libel that the Eskimo objects to soap deserves to be corrected in the interests of truth," according to reports from the Rev. William A. Thomas, Episcopal missionary among the Tiearas at Point Hope, Alaska. Point Hope Is about 300 miles north of the Arctic Circle, and is the farthest nomt norm or the Episcopal church's activities. Mr. Thomas and his wife are the only white residents of the settlement. "The fiction that the Eskimo doesn't like soap is absurd, for the wholly practical reason that he must keep clean in order to stand the rigors ot the climate," Rev. Thomas says. "On our way east from the coast a friend asked Mrs. Thomas how she kept herself supplied with cold cream -up in th North to prevent her lace from freezing. Must Keep Pores Open "The reply is that the application of anything that might close up the pores of he skin and prevent the free circulation of the blood is the quickc.-t way to have the face frozen. What applies to a white person applies with equal force to the Eskimo. If he used seal oil or whale oil or any of the other lotions which he is charged with preferring to soap, he couldn't stand the bitter cold of the Arctic climate "As a matter of fact the Eskimo uses a whole lot of soap. Also, like the red Indian, they pull the hair from their faces by the roots, in or der that their faces may be kept clean. "I am speaking of the Eskimo at home, in his native igloo or hut. This igloo is not necessarily the unclean dugout of snow which it is sometimes depicted. The snow igloo is a temporary affair built for overnight shelter. The igloo in the native communities is a neat compast affair." REGENT OF JODHPUR DEAD (By Associated Press) SIMLA, British India, Sept. 5.

Police Court News CASSEL FINED Walter Cassel, arraigned in city court on a statutory charge Tuesday, was fined $10 and costs on his plea of guilty. LAMM TRIAL FRIDAY Russell Lamm, arraigned on a charge of driving a car with defective brakes, pleaded not guilty and trial of the case was postponed until Friday, when all witnesses can be heard.

THREE ARE DISMISSED Theodore Garrett, Charles Duke and Ray Bussen were dismissed with a warning when they appeared on charges of violating the headlight laws. This was their first offense. COUNTY COUNCIL (Continued from Page One.) want to conserve the money of the county, but I want to see justice done." Judge Bond also appeared before the council on another matter, the recommendation for the appropriation of $2,000 for expenses of the board of children's guardians. This amount had been cut to $800 and it was to have the amount raised to the original estimate of $2,000 that the judge went before the council. Citing facts and figures to show how the board had saved the county thousands of dollars by finding homes for children whose board otherwise would be paid by the county, the judge said: "About $2,000 per year is paid in to the county through Mrs. Candler for

Mrs. Candler cited facts in regard to various cases handled by her where good citizens had been made of children who were left to "run wild" by tfieir parents. The council adopted the $2,000 appropriation in accordance with the original recommendation. DISASTER (Continued from Page One.) viction that there is nothing worth while to fight for." The Daily Telegraph's diplomatic correspondent says the Greek government notified Great Britain on Saturday of its decision to evacuate Asia Minor including the Smyrna conclave, and asked the assistance of the allies in arranging an armistice. It announced its inability longer to guarantee the safety of the Christian communities throughout the country or the allied nationals in Smyrna and subsequently put forward the idea that evacuation of all the Christian civilians as vi ell as the Greek troops would be necessary. The safety of these thousands of Christians now seems to be the chief concern of the allies whose warships alone it is said, stand between them and possible annihilation. What de gree of protection can be given especially if the Turks reach Smyrna in their pursuit of the Greeks is a matter for speculation. !

The Farm and the Farmer By William R. Sanborn

IMPORTED 325 LAMBS There are 325 head of western lambs running loose on the J. H. Jordan farm, one mile east of Fountain City. These arrived in a double decked car on the night of Sunday, Aug. 27, after a long journey from the moutain country, via Chicago, where Mr. Jordan picked them up for shipment to Wayne. The lambs are a thrifty bunch and arrived in good condition at Fountain City. They weighed an average of 62 pounds over the scales at the Chicago yards and are expected to rapidly put on weight, being well supplied with good pasturage and fresh running water. Mr. Jordan is located "on what ha been known as the Orla Hinshaw farm, a place somewhat noted for its live stock sales. Where these western lambs are now grazing some 350 head of hogs were recently on pasture, but have now all been marketed, making five big deck loads in att. And now comes the silo filling season and the first man heard of to get this chore done in Wayne county, was Joseph King, of Centerville. He did the job on Wednesday, Aug. 30. Porter Pike says Mr. King always leads the Silo procession, and is so far as he knows, the only man m Center township who can boast of a full silo at this time. "It suits Mr. King to put up silage early," said Porter, "the rest of us like our corn to ripen longer." To Fill In New Garden. And this reminds us that silo filling will begin around Fountain City, this week. Arthur Collins, east of town, said last Saturday that he hoped to fill not later than Wednesday, if the weather was favorable. He will be the first man to get into his corn in New Garden township, this year. Mr. Collins is to farm both the Will Brooks' farm next year and will move on to one of them on tne tirst ot March. Mr: Brooks will'remain in hi3 present farm home but Mr. Collins will cultivate the entire Brooks acreage. Lester Lacey is to remove to the Thomas place, so long occupied by Mr. Collins, on March 1. When silo filling begins in earnest every outfit in the county will be kept busy for some days. There are silo rings, just as there are threshing ring3 ,in which the "help your neighbor" policy saves the silo owner many dollars which would otherwise be ex pended for labor. The idea that a silo is a good investment is spreading from year to year, and with the return to more nearly normal farm prices and farm conditions we may expect a liberal increase in the number of silos on our farms. This goes, of course, for the entire corn belt. Hogs and Grain Decline The general average price of hogs at Chicago broke under $S last Saturday, not on their merits but because salesmen sacrificed a lot of them, rather than to carry them over the double holiday. Labor day is always observed at the yards, eo it was decided to make a Saturday cleanup in the expectancy of large receipts on Tuesday. At the last of Saturday's session a few hogs had been cut as much as 50 cents to get them out of the way. With reference to tli-j general average price it may be said that the $7.90 Saturday average was 20 cents under the weekly average, which was $8.10 and just the same as for the week ending August 26. A general evening up of speculative accounts in the grain market last Saturday resulted in September wheat 'dropping to 99 cents at Chicago, the low on the week. This is n t the low point, however, as this option sold as low as 9734 during the last week in August. All grain markets, including the Canadian, were closed on Moiday. Durum Wheat Very Cheap It scarcely seems possible that Can-i adian Durum wheat should be .selling! anywhere in the Dominion as low as 50 cents, but the Chicago Tribune had this to say on Monday: "Wheat prices have declined to a level where the farmers in the northwest and southwest are getting less than $1. Durum wheat, which is nearly 50 per cent of the total crop in the northwestern states, is said to be sell ing at 50 cents in some sections. "Prices are so low that thos who have been extremely bearish are disposed to go slow on the selling side." Crowds Out on Field Day A crowd estimated at 2.500 attended the second annual field day hell Aug. 31 on the Jennings county experimental field operated by the agricultural experiment station of Purdue. Farmers, many accompanied by their wives, came from a dozen surrounding counties to study the experimental work, which has given such excellent results. The morning was given over o in spection of the field and a discussion of the experiments where the corn yield has been increased from 18 to 77 bushels and the wheat and clover yields in proportion. The aft?rnoon was devoted to the speaking program, the speakers including D. F. Maish, of Frankfort, one of Indiana's fading farmers; Perry Crane, secretary of the Indiana farm bureau; Prof. M. L. Fisher, head of the agronomy department at Purdue; L. L. Jones, hvad of poultry extension work for Purdue, and Miss Leila Gaddis, in charge of home economics extension work for the university. Klein brothers, near whose fram the field is located, have fixed a large grove on. the farm as a permanent picnic ground for the farmers of Jennings and other southeastern Indiana counties, who come to the field day every year. They donated the timber, the neighbors hauled it to town to have it sawed and the lumber has been used in erecting buildings, tables

and seats. The crowd this year wa, the largest that ever attended a field day event of this kind in Indiana Fewer People on Farms. According to the census report on farm population less than one third of our people now live on farms This report from the office of the census is more than two years late, but is none the less significant Back in 1900 our rural population was 60 per cent, and in 1910, 54 per cent. Even in Iowa one of the greatest farming states, the farm population is only 41 per cent With reference to the decline In our farm population, and the "first turn down of the Ford offer for Muscle Shoals," Senator Capper editoriallv says in his weekly: "We seem bo afraid we shall do something to benefit the man who benefits us, who feeds this nation: the success; or non-success of whose operations determines whether we have good times or bad times. "Ford at Muscle Shoals means cheap and abundant nitrates for fertilizers; that means cheap and abundant fertilizers, lower cost instead of higher cost living, sound economi: conditions and steady progress ahead. When are we going to learn so simple a lesson which history has been teaching century after century." National Dairy Show Rates.

Writing from Champaign, Illinois. F. B. Vennue, says: "Almost any fool can tell us how to grow grain anl live stock, but it takes a wise man to tell us how to get a profit on it. "We grow enough and there is demand enough. Why are 40,000,000 selling their product at half the cost to produce, paralyzing business? Not scientific farming but scientific marketing is needed. Strange no plan i submitted by which the farmer can get a profit price." Farm Bureau Directors To Support Park Levy NEWCASTLE, Ind., Sept. 5.
