COURT OF APPEALS AFFIRMS CONVICTION OF PREBLE FARMER

EATON, Ohio. Not. 29. Conrt of appeals has affirmed common pleas court and a squire's court in conviction of P. O. Boston, Sugar Valley farmer, on a charge of having violated the prohibition laws. He was convict ed about a year ago on a charge of un

lawful possession of - intoxicating

liquor and a fine . of $1,000 was Imposed, $750 of the fine being suspended during good behavior. The case was taken on error to common pleas court and the appellate court. Boston was convicted in Squlr li

T. Stephens' court in Eaton. Judge A. C. Risinger passed upon the case in common pleas court and affirmed the squire's court. A raid by officers

on Boston's home resulted in his con

viction. He paid a fine. A day or two later officers made another raid and

found incriminating evidence. Boston

contended the "evidence" found in the ppcond raid was overlooked by the

officers in the first raid.

On this point the appellate court

says: "Prior proceeding is not a bar to the present action. The property

upon wnich the present action is has

ed .was in the plaintiff-in-error's possession at the time of the present prosecution." Concluding, the court

says: "we are. in harmony with the

opinion or Judge Rislnger and are

therefore, of ojlnion that the Judgment

should be affirmed." Judge H. I Fer-

neding rendered the opinion.

Democratic women of the third con, preesiortal district Preble, Montgomery and Butler counties will meet Saturday afternoon in Eaton for the purpose of taking action looking to formation of a permanent organization. It is expected temporary officers

will be selected, at least, and possibly permanent organization will be ef

fected by selecting permanent officerc

Important matters will be brought up for discussion. The program for the

meeting has not been announced, but it is expected addresses will be made

by prominent persons in the district The meeting will be held in the old

Democratic headquarters in the Mi

nor block, third floor, Main and Bar

ron streets, now occupied by the .Welcome Mission. The meeting will open at 2 o'clock. The local county Democratic Woman's club expects to have a large representation of party women

in the county present In the meeting.

Posting of opening prices of the Chi

cago and Cincinnati livestock markets

is an innovation adopted by the Preble

County National bank. The opening quotations of the markets, along with

receipts, are received daily and post

ed in the bank lobby, on a neatly

lramed and lettered blackboard.

Great American Poet

Promised, Says Roo

Poems of American present day noets.and the poets themselves were

the Riiblect of Prof. Merrill Root'B lec

ture on "Human Values in Contempor-

arv American Poetry," given before

the Literary department of the Wo

man's club Tuesday afternoon at Mor-

risson-Reeves library. That this coun try's modern poetry cannot be com

nared with England's but that Amer

ica gives promise of producing a really

great poet was the opinion expressed

by Prof. Root. Announcement was made at the meeting by Prof. Harlow Lindley of Earlham college of the lecture Dec. 12, by Hamlin Garland, novelist and dramatist.

ANOTHER VIEWPOINT A comparatively new publication.

known as the County Agent and Farm Bureau, Is a monthly. In the October

number we find an editorial so greatly out of line with current expression on co-operative marketing that we give it space as showing the other view

point. In its analysis of what is wrong with farming, and the kind of remedies needed, the editor says:

"It is a fallacy at the present time

to chase after the overworked idea of

co-operative marketing as a solution

to the Question. We can show as many Instances where co-operative market

ing has tended to lower prices as where it has tended to Increase them.

"The way to stimulation lies along

different channels and that is co-ordin

ation and united effort of all interests

which profit from agriculture. The trouble with the co-operative Idea- is that it antagonizes a large army of dis

tributors, many of whom are perfectly legitimate, but who are placed in a class with the illegitimate. Naturally these concerns, fearing the destruction of their business, are fighting back.

Instead of getting back of the situa

tion and giving it their united help,

they have a tendency to throw ob

stacles in the way of the co-operative movement in order that It will fail and

their own business continue to exist."

Without being controversial or at

tempting to give our own views in the

premises we must admit that the ed

itorial quoted at least provides food

for thought AH the business of the

world can not yet be handled on a co

operative basis, not even all the busi

ness pertaining to agriculture, but

undeniably, much of it can, and will

be. There are numerous outstanding

examples of the benefits of co-opera ! tive shipping and selling, so many of

them indeed, that a whole page of thi3

paper would only provide space to

hint at all of them.

The Cranberry Growers . So far as we are aware America is

the only country where cranberries

are grown and here - only in- three states: Massachusetts, New Jersey

and Wisconsin. There is now a t"""-

tral selling organization for all cranberry growers. Formerly individual cash buyers toured the cranberry sections and bid what they cared to, which frequently, was below the cost of production and handling. This condition was prevalent up to the year 1906, when steps were taken to get together and present a' solid front.

That year less than 400,000 barrels

were grown in the three belts and

these were mostly bought at a loss

to growers and sold at big prices and good profits to consumers, the middle man then having it all his own way. Wisconsin organized the first sales

company. This was in 1906. A year

later separate exchanges were organized in New Jersey and Massachusetts

and shortly after the American Cran

berry Exchange was- organized and now does the cranberry selling business of the world. As a result cranberry growing has become profitable.

Nor can we see that the public has been held up. Prices reasonable to consumers as witness the quart or pound figures quoted by your grocer for that Thanksgiving and Christmas

delicacy. Thus encouraged the cranberry farmers have increased produc

tion to around 600,000 barrels, every

barrel of which 13 in demand at a fair

profit to the producer.

Lacking co-operation the cranberry business was going -rapidly on the

rocks. Through co-operation the in

dustry was sated, not merely to the prosperity of the growers but to the benefit of the whole country and to the delectation of all the lovers of 'cranberry sauce." Fruit and Truck Marketing The Federated Fruit Growers ere just getting into action In a broad way. Organized by the American farm bureau as the outcome of the labors of the committee of 21, it will take hold in earnest the first week in Jan

uary. W e are now to have a new fruit and truck marketing plan in the hands

of men who are trained in the business. The gigantic marketing service

of the North American Fruit Exchange, which has been successfully handling fruits and vegetables for cooperative bodies for nearly 12 years, will now swing into line and every

grower that desires may take advantage of its protection and experience

during the coming year, through th

local growers' associations. The grad

ing and packing is properly supervised and the selling organization takes care of the market end of the business, and this to the general welfare of all producers, according to their lines and seasons. An Outpouring of Cattle. The receipts of cattle at the seven principal markets in October totalled

1,476,3S8 head. These markets were: Chicago, Kansas Caty, Omaha, - St Paul, St Joseph, Sioux City and St. Louis. This showed an increase of 365,277 over that of October 1921. Receipts for the first ten months of 1922 were 8,976,384, a gain of 1.375,105 over the same period of 1921, Chicago

handled 2,552,278; Kansas City, 1,991,-

721; Omaha, ,468,756 and St Louis, 1,125,482. Every market recorded a substantial increase, Chicago gaining 247,295; Kansas City, 249,227; Omaha, 223,181; St Louis, 256,322, and St Paul 260,227. . In an analysis of these figures we find that the increase represents liquidation and turnover. Adverse financial and weather conditions led to the

unloading of cattle from the Rio Grande to the Canadian line, drought in the southwest especially in New

Mexico, having caused premature mar

keting, while other thousands of cat

tle were shipped here and " yon in

search of food and water. Many of these cattle have left one market, only to reappear in another after a short feed, so that they have been counted

twice, this making the Increase more

apparent than real. There are no indications .at Wash

ington that there will be any undue

haste in permitting the Armour-Morris-Wilson merger. Putting Bees to Bed.

In every section where bees are kept apiarists differ in their opinions as to when bees should be put to bed in

the cellar. "If the last flight is used as the signal," says one keeper, "it is

not always safe to leave them out

doors until after Thanksgiving. This year the weather has made it possible

for the bees to live out doors much later than usual. "During the last decade bees have been able to take flight two or three times in the Chicago district, after the

first of December. But this is by no means1 the rule." What applies to Chicago territory comes pretty near to being true in Wayne county. The recent light snow storm was the signal to many who now have their bees snugly housed and we feel that the time - for complete protection or the storing of hives in warm winter quarters is here. Bees are too valdable to be allowed to freeze, to say nothing of the humane angle of the matter. ' National Wheat Week A Paris cable informs us that the

French people and colonists are to

have a national wheat week, January 22 to 28. " This has been arranged by

the government in an effort to free

France from dependence for bread and

also to: develoD wheat erowine in the

colonies by encouraging them to grow bread stuffs enough for home use and ; to help feed the mother country. Five commissions will hold meetings j

at which will be outlined the best methods of selecting seed and of intensive farming, so as to get more and

better flour by these means as 'well ' as through improved milling. How to get the most out of flour in all its

uses also will be taught Each angle of the subject will be dealt with in the greater detail by the best French experts. Afterward means will be studied of putting this collective knowledge to work through legis lation, educational propaganda in the industries affected and patriotic ap

peals to the people. Mr. Baruch's Views. Bernard M. Baruch has been incessantly at work during the past three years trying to get eastern bankers

and business men to appreciate the

farmer's needs. In the west the tar k has not been so difficult and a number

of prominent bankers and manufac

turers have taken decided stands in

favor of helping agriculturists out of

the hole into which deflation plunged

them.

"The farmers are now taking the bit in their teeth." said Mr. Baruch, in a

recent interview, "and for my part, I have seen nothing so far in what their leaders in the house and senate

are advocating and desire put into legislation to which any fair-minded

man can object

"An examination into the facts will justify a change in the system of credits and a change in the system

of marketing the farmer's produce

The farm bloc, headed by Senator Cap

per, is advocating the passage of a bill

in the present congress providing for increased credits, the more orderly marketing of farm products, the en

couragement of the cattle raising industry and for general productive efforts, which is certainly worthy of passage. "The program before the present congress Is . a constructive one. A movement to improve the condition of 40 per cent of the population will certainly benefit the other 60 per cent as well." It is very easy to find fault or to pull down but to rebuild is another matter. If there ever was a time when we needed constructive legislation that time is right now. Nor Is it a question for radical agitation ana settlement nor the play of partisan politics, but for the use of discretion and common sense, not merely at Washington, but in all the state legislatures so shortly to convene.
