Markets

GRAIN PRICES (Markets by Lamson Bros. & Co., 212 Union National Bank Euilding) CHICAGO, Oct. 30 Grains started higher In sympathy -with stronger Liverpool cables, re-acted on local selling, and th.ei made up the greater part or the decline at the close. Selling was induced by rains in part of the west and southwest .and an important lack of export demand. Tho later appeared on the dip. however, but no figure were availble as to th amount worked. A decrease in the visibly supply of all grains except barley also helped the market. Receipts of wheat in southwestern markets showed some increase, but the movement i nthe northwest dlmished slight, ly. It is evident that large interests believe in higher prices and support the market when weak, as long as this continues no-decline of consequence will take place.

DOES NOT REMEMBER

SHOOTING OF COUPLE SAYS MRS. ROSIER (By Associated Press) PHILADELPHIA, Oct 30. Mrs. Catherine " Rosier, charged with thj killing of her husband, Oscar, and Mil dred G. Reckitt, his stenographer, testified today in her trial for the slay ing of the girl that she did not re member the shooting. She said saw her husband and Miss Reckitt in his office and .that she screamed and knew no more un(il she found herself in the hands of the police. In a voice hardly audible and frequently interrupted by weeping Mrs. Rosier told her story of events in the family and the conduct of her husband until the shooting. She testified that she was in a hospital at the birth of her baby, Arthur Rosier, brother of Oscar, told her Oscar was paying attention to his stenographer, Miss Reckitt She also testified that Ar thur had attempted to drag her into a compromising situation Mrs. Rosier testified that her hus band admitted to her that he was go ing out with Miss Reckitt and added that he loved the stenographer and not her. The defendant testified that she pleaded that Arthur be permitted to plead with Miss Reckitt to give up the husband for the sake of the baby Bursts Into Tears The mentioning of the babv caused Mrs. Rosier to burst into tears, and she collapsed into the arms of a court officer. The witness told of her visit to the office, of seeing her husband and Miss Reckitt, and decided to (purchase a revolver to commit suicide in their presence unless the husband gave up the girl. When she returned to the office, the defendant testified, she saw them together. "I screamed and that is the last I remember." Mrs. Rosier was turned over to Maurice J. Seiser, assistant district attorney, for cross-examination. STATE CLOSES CASE AGAINST MRS. PHILLIPS By LANSING WARREN LOS ANGELES. Cal., Oct. 30. The state today expected to close its case in the trial of Mrs. Clara Phillips, charged with beating Mrs. Alberta Meadows to death with a hammer. "Imaginary jealousy" over Mrs. Phillips' husband is said to have caused the killing. Exceptionally long cross examination of Peggy Caffee, chorus girl "eye witness" to the murder, was declared the only thing that would drag out the state's side. After she testifies further this morning the prosecution expects to call about ten additional witnesses, mostly employes of a hotel to . tell that Clara stayed there the night of the crime. Police and sheriffs' officers who brought Mrs. Phillips back from Tucson, where she was arrested, was also among these final state witnesses. The prosecution intimated that a surprise witness may also be called to verify certain parts of the testimony of Peggy Caffee, who Friday on the stand described how, she alleged, Mrs. Phillips lured Mrs Meadows to .1 lonely spot and kill.ed her. Mrs. Phillips was declared by jail matrons to be in good spirits after several days of trial. SPHINX GIRL DISPLAYS CLOAK OF MYSTERY (By United Press) CLEVELAND, Ohio, Oct. 30. The mystery that has cloaked Mrs. Mabel Champion. 22. for weeks, was dispelled by the "Sphinx Girl" herself today, as she prepared for the sixth day of he trial on a charge of slaying Thomas O'Connell, in a restaurant on July 26. "I am fighting my battle alone for only one reason," she said. "Back in the west, in a small town far enough from the big cities to prevent them from gaining access to the news of the day, are an old man and an old woman. "One is my father, the other my mother. Rather than cause them pain. as I did when at the age of 16, I mar ried Champion, I have made up my mind to fight this out alone." In Judge Bernon's courtroom last week, four men testified they had seen Mrs. Champion fire the shots that killed O'Connell.

The Farm and By William R. CARLOAD OF HOLSTEINS I. A. Orr, living on the Allen Beeler farm north of Liberty, is just home from a trip to Wisconsin, where he journeyed in quest of a bunch of good dairy cows. Mr. orr does consiaeraoie milking as it is, and being not only anxious to get more milk, but to also build up fertility, has added a carload of Wisconsin Holsteins to his herd. The cattle were purchased m tne

sheW-jnater section and were loaded

at that town last Tuesday. They start ed out on Tuesday night and arrived at Richmond at 5 o'clock on Saturday morning, and were unloaded and fed at the Glen Miller yards. In addition to the 12 cows there were a few calves and other young stuff in the car, all of which were trucked to the farm during the day. We understand that the freight charge was $100.30. Rome Shurley says the cattle came through in good shape and are nice ones. Mr. Orr explains that his first Idea is to make a home market for his feed crops, and the next is to add the fertility these crops produce to his land, which should be a winning proposition from the start. A truck load of hogs averaging over 400 pounds was driven from Economy to Indianapolis last week, and were billed to the Producers' association. The hogs were consigned by U. G. Manning, of Economy, and were sold on Thursday forenoon. We are not informed as to the price brought but the Producers notified Mr. Manning that they were "the heaviest truck load of hogs they had received in many a day, having weighed out an average of 405 pounds." It was a Big Type Poland load. Cut in Coal Prices An important indication that coal la being mined to the limit, and also that the national coal administration has been able to relieve some of the pressure on consumers, is the fact that an agreement has been reached at Washington providing for reduction of from $1.50 to $2.25 per ton from prices now ruling at the soft coal mines in Ohio and Pennsylvania. Illinois and Indi ana operators ' have agreed to meet O. E. Spens, federal fuel distributor, at Chicago during the last two days of October to thresh coal prices out and it is hoped that he miners in these two states will fall into line. Our farmer readers and country ele vator coal buyers will be interested in the following figures. Southern Ohio operators have agreed to a maximum of $4.75 per ton. The maximum for the Pittsburg No. 8 Ohio district is to be $4.25 per ton. Prices have ruled as high as $6 in the Pittsburg district of Pennsylvania, $7 in the southern districts of Ohio and $5.75 in the Pitts burg No. 8 district of Ohio. The dis patch from Washington says: "These prices were voluntarily established in recognition of the present emergency. Farmers Are Great Gamblers We just want you sons of the soil to listen to this outpouring of the spirit by a Kansas doctor, who signs him self "F. A. Cogswell." Evidently, the doctor is a friend of Arthur Capper, to whom he writes, as follows: "Farm life has beauty for the man who prefers hill and horizon to wall OFFIFIALS OF KANSAS WORK TO EXPEL-KLAN (By United Press) TOPEKA. Kas., Oct. 30. State officials Monday rushed plans to legally expel the Ku Klux Klan from Kansas. Attorney General Hopkins was drafting an injunction to prevent enlisting of members in Kansas, while report3 were circulated that other legal maneuvres would prevent the invisible empire from functioning in any way in the state if granted in court. Gov. Henry J. Allen, in a speech at Coffeyville Saturday night, attacked the Klan and announced he had determined to make "parading with pillowslips" an unpopular pastime. He laid at the door of the Ku Klux Klan the recent flogging of the mayor of Liberty, and declared that important information for legal action had been gathered by operatives.

Mrs. Lillie Tweedv, of Dublin, candidate for state senator and James A. Clifton, mayor of Con nersvills, candidate for congress, will be present. Members of the Tweedy club which is conducting a campaign of education on behalf of Mrs. Tweedy, to further her candidacy, will also attend the meeting. according to Constable George Davis, who emptied his pistol at the machine in which they drove away Local police say the members of the band wore blue jumpers and masks of a dark blue material. They were said to be members of a newly organized alleged secret society known as "the true blue." A new cotton rope was found at the place where their car stood in front of the theatre. They carried Adkins body with them as they drove away, going to his home at Dewar. Although the theatre near which the shooting occurred was crowded at the time, there were few persons in the street. Bogus was formerly a deputy sheriff here.

yo -ho:: the Farmer Sanborn of stone and steel, bird song to jazz, soil to sidewalks, a manure spreader to a patrol wagon, sunlight to arclight, a dog's bark to a police whistle? dewy grass to sprinkled asphalt, h daisy trimmed cowpath to a brick paved alley, a pitchfork to a patrolman's club, the Milky Way to the White Way, the) tinted glories of morning to an art gallery, or the gold and purple of 6unset and twilight to a movie, a rooster crow to a street car gong, and a 15-hour day to an 8-hour shift." "As a financial proposition, however, fanning is the greatest gamble on -earth. The able, educated, energetio farmer's first big gamble is with rhe weather hot, cold, wett, dry, rain frost, wind, snow, and hail. The city man's feet are on the floor and a roof over his head. The fanners feet are in the mud and manure, his head to the sky, and he takes it just as it comes he has to. He prepares a fine rich soil, plants carefully cleaned and tested seed, and then gambles with , grubs, cutworms, rats, mice gophers, ground squirrels, crows blackbirds, jack rabbits, boll weevil, grasshoppers, chinch bugs, rust, army worms, potato beetle Hessian fly and the weather. Too much rain beats down and hardens the ground, cold rots the seed, or the plants come up as stunted and sickly as an Armenian orphan. A long "wet spell" ruins his hay and grain. A good crop may promise, but a long "dry spell" or a few days blasting hot wind cuts the yield 50 per cent." Worse and More of It. The doctor continues by saying that "Smut and other fungi in the farmer 's corn kills his cows. He gambles with chicken cholera and black leg. foot rot and boll wevil, the tool trust and Standard oil., sore neck horses and balky tractor. Some oni leaves a farm gate open and clover bloat kills his best brood mare and his prize Jersey. "Nqw, then, if the crop matures and the weather permits him to harvest it, comes to his last and meanest gamble, one in which he is often forced to play against a stacked deck and lop-sided dice freight rates and strikes, full elevators and a car shortage, middle men and speculators, an overloaded market and basement prices'." In his conclusion Dr. Cogswell tells us that the farmer takes what is offered and pays what is asked," but surely though slowly he is writing his own emancipation, his declaration of independence and there's 40 millions of him." Farm Products as Cash. Barter is replacing the use of mon ey in vacious parts of Germany, also in Russia, owing to the depreciation of the mark and ruble. In Weimar board governing the agricultural schools has fixed the tuition for the winter term in rye, instead of in marks. Thuringians will pay one and one-half centners of rye for the semester, but non-residents of the province who attend will be taxed two centners. The Saxon Thuringian Power company at Auma has announced that it will gladly receive instead of cash 10 eggs, thre pound3 of wheat flour or a quarter of a centner of potatoes for each kilowatt hour of electricity consumed. Naumberg and Braunschweig physicians state that henceforth all rural patients will be expected to pay for medical attention in produce at its pre-war cost. The pre-war price of bread was recently fixed by Magreburg doctors as a basis of payment, or about 1,000 marks. Citrus Fruits Estimate. Production of citrus fruits in Florida for the season of 1922-23 is estimated by the department of agriculture at 15,000,000 boxes grapefruit. Taken in connection with the citrus output of California we shall have a bountiful supply of oranges, lemons and grapefruit for another season. Between 3,000,000,000 and 5,000,000,000 pounds of cotton have been exported from the United States during each of the past 20 years, except in 1918 when our exports were but slightly over 2,000,000,000 pounds, and in 1912 when they exceeded five billion pounds. Of all the pests in the south one of the most serious is the larva, or young of the 12-spotted cucumber beetle, the so-called southern corn rootworm. The plants attacked either die outright or are so badly stunted as to be unproductive. One control measure advised by the department of agriculture is the burning over of waste places, such as the borders and terraces of fields. This should be done in winter and on cool days when the beetles seek the dead grasses for protection from the cold. FLOWER BULKS, Hyacinths and Tulips OMER G. WHELAN 31-33 S.

ALL. RtCHTHAUL. IN DAILY DECLINE HITS " RECEIPTS AT GLEN DURING PAST WEEK The daily decline of 10 to 25 cents last week made it difficult to establish a price satisfactory to the seller, and as a result only 300 hogs were received last week, says the Glen Miller market report. The decline amounted to a dollar a hundred. Choice weights sold Saturday at $S to $S.50 against a price of $9.50 a week ago. While some feeders 6till hold their hogs, many are of the opinion that still lower prices will rule. Cattle were 25 to 50 cents lower, veals steady at $6 to $10; lambs, $5 to $12. Hogs a year ago Saturday sold at $6 to 2 $7.50. The 300 hogs bought weighed 6390 and fetched $5,208. Nine head of cattle delivered by J. F. Sucker of Dayton sold at $4.50 to $8.50, netting $548; while 33 calves brought $659. The Pittsburg market Monday forenoon was 35 cents lower with the top at $9.40 and heavies at $9.25.

European Corn Borer In New England States Fourteen townships in the Merrimack Valley of New Hampshire were newly invaded this year by the Euroopean corn borer, which has been a destructive pest for the last five years along the Atlantic coast of the New England states. The corn borer is also established in Massachusetts as far west as Lancaster, Clinton, Sherwsbury and Worcester. Its new area extends into Maine as far up the coast as Saco. and through three townships of Rhode Island near Providence. At the present time available funds are insufficient to stop the further spread of this pest, which attacks truck crops as well as corn, and is even destroying the beautiful fall New England flowers, such as dahlias and asters. harm Sale Calendar .
