(Markets by Lamson Bros, ft Co, Z1Z union Nauonal Banr Euildinc) CHICAGO. I1L, Dec 1. Responding to a strong Liverpool market, grains opened higher and ruled well above Wednesday's close., until late realizing cansled a general setback. The December deliveries, however, with the exception' ot rye, held steady. Bye suffered because of heavy deliveries and lack ot xport demand. Wheat sales were light, the only business reported being 200,000 bushels Manltobas. The feeding demand for corn continued good, but lack of speculative demand and the weakness in wheat counted against corn futures. Neither Snow nor Goodman Issued his winter crop estimate today, but the Modern Miller gave an average of fco per cent. The Kansas City state report gave a condition of 71 per cent and an area og 11,316,000 acres of 7.89 per cent below last year. A private estimate.- also reduced the Argentine exportable surplus to 128,000,000 bu. and officials gave Australia a surplus of 55,000,000 bushels.

VEI1IZEL0S PREDICTS REPUBLIC IN GREECE; KING MAY ABDICATE .(Ey United Press) ATHENS, Dec. 1. Former Premier Venizelos today forecast a Greek republic as the country was torn with dissension over trials and executions of war leaders. "The people are ripe for a republic" he wrote friends in letters made public here. Turko-Bulgar insurrectionist outbreaks in Schin, added to the turmoil with which the revolutionary government finds itself envolved. The revoltists attacked Greek troops who re pulsed them after killing 28. Thirteen of the Turk-Bulgars taken prisoner were later executed. A dozen or more powerful influences were at work today to prevent the execution of Prince Andrew, brother of former King Constantine and other "war guilty" yet to be tried and sentenced. Prince Andrew's court martial will begin shortly, it was announced. King George, fearful of the turn in events as a protest against trials and executions, has offered to abdicate. The offer was made immediately after he learned that the prince would be tried. Princess Alice arrived to lead the defense of Andrew, her husband. She is a sister of Lord Louis Mountbatten, of England. REPEAT "PROF. PEPP" PERFORMANCE TONIGHT "Professor Pepp,rt the farce comedy staged Monday.

The nlav is a spicy farcical comedy with a college flavor that wins the audience well after the first act Is over. Russian nihilists and American college boys are included in the lively cast of characters.

The Farm and By William R.
ARRANGED BY PHONE When the Rotarians discovered on Tuesday forenoon that Prof. Christie of Purdue would not be present to address them at the dinner at the Arlington, the Important question of se curing an acceptable substitute came up for immediate solution. County Agent Dolan was appealed to and he at once suggested L. A. Pittinger, of Selma, in Delaware county to Omer Whelan, which selection was promptly endorsed by Arthur Curme, who had frequently heard Mr. Plttenger talk at farm meetings in Wayne county. This resulted in quick action over the phone to Muncie and Selma, and when Mr. Pittinger was finally located the arrangements were made in double quick time. It so happened however, that Mr. Pittinger was down for an address before a woman's club at Muncie at 2 o'clock that afternoon, a club of which the speaker's wife is a member. It was a matter for In stant decision and' rapid motoring to and from, but It was accomplished. Mr. Whelan says that the speaker arrived at 12:10, driven over by Mr. Jones, a garage owner, who also took Mr. Pittenger direct from the dinner to the club session at Muncie. The story of the dinner need not be repeated here, as It was completely told in The Palladium on Tuesday evening. It was an pccasion that will be long remembered by tne local Koiar ians and their numerous rural guests It was a representative gathering of our business mem and of Wayne coun ty's most progressive farmers, who were the invited guests of Rotary. This getting together was planned for the common weal and in order that those present might understand each other in a broader and more sympathetic way. The speaker's address was both winning and impressive. It dealt with the fundamentals. That it was re ceived with favor and was enthusias tically applauded was a matter of course. Mr. Pittinger had something worth while to say and said it Big-Type Poland Wins When the Ton Litter club got through counting up it was found that there were 655 entrants for the gold medal awards, which meant that the competition was broad enough to cover Indiana. All the breeds were represented and it was a matter of breed pride as well as of individual pride to top the list. The medal was to be awarded to any or all farmers who could weigh in a litter weighing a ton or more at the end of six months, or 180 days from the date of farrowing. In writing of the sweepstakes result, P. W. Young, of Peoria, secretary of the National Poland China association, says: "The champion litter of the Hoosier Ton Litter club weighed 40 pounds more than a ton and a half the day they were 180 days old, and were produced at less than five cents per pound. So far as rapidity of growth is concerned an official world's record has been set" Mr. Young states that C. W. R. Schwartz, of Berne, Indiana, "and his old Poland China sow, Miss Pawnee First, were the proud winners of the contest. Miss Pawnee farrowed 11 pigs on April 11, 1922. sired by a pure-bred boar of the same breed, and after sixty days Mr. Schwartz re lieved the sow of further trouble and carried the pigs on to victory, with 3,040 pounds of pork to their credit on the day they were officially weighed." Mr. Schwartz kept cost and gain records, also exact feeding records. In the weighing up of the litter it was found that the heaviest barrow weighed 330 and the runt of the Utter 249 pounds.

In the United States department of agriculture exhibit at the Chicago International, Dec. 2 to 9, important statistics are handled in a rather unusual manner. There are a number of pictorial booths, in one of which one may find important data on our live stock industry in relation to that of the world. This is presented through the combined skill of the artist and photographer, and of the exhibit expert There are 21 of these painted or illustrated booths which will dispense sugar-coated information to the hurrying throngs. For those with more leisure and desire for figures there are figures, charts and printed information of great interest and value, depending largely on where the visitor'a interest lies. The proportion of pure-bred to our louu nve stock is pictorially presented in vivid contrast and that' will be very impressive to the live stock grower, also to the everyday Wallace Draws the Line. Secretary Wallace 's statement on tha proper relation of the extension agent lu v"aie organizations, is clear, un ausweraoie ana invaluable at this time, when there are so many misunderstandings of what these relations and duties are. Says Mr. Wallace: "Extension work is educational. Extension workers are public teachers. Their work covers the entire rural field, which includes economic production, economic marketing, and the development of better home, community and social conditions. ' "As they are public teachers. It is not a part of the official duties of the extension agents to perform for individual farmers or for organizations the actual operations of production, marketing, or the various activities necessary to the proper conduct of business or social organizations." "In other words," as is editorially observed In the New York Extension Service News, "County agents should not be expected to perform a marketing service for farmers any more than a production service. They neither milk a man's cows nor harvest his alfalfa. Why should they sell his crops or operate his organization?" Out here in the middle west the county agent makes im attempt to mar ket the crops, nor does he milk the farmer's cows, etc But just the same and although he is not an official of the farm bureau, he figures largely in m laiwiug acuvjues, Because his voss
