SUNDAY TO PREACH AT EATON SATURDAY
EATON. Ohio. Dec. 6 Billy Sun
day, noted evangelist, will visit Eaton
Saturday, coming here from Dayton, where he is conducting a series of meetings. Local ministers and prominent churchmen are preparing a suit-
able reception for him and arranging
a meting in me rresDyienan cnurcn ai 10 o'clock in the morning, at which time Mr. Sunday will speak. A meeting will be held at the same time in the Christian church, at which "Ma" Sunday will speak, according to those in charge af arranements. The Rev. Charles Irwin, of the Presbyterian church, and the Rev V. E. Busier, of the Methodist church, are among the leaders who are preparing for the coming of the foe of Satan.
WOULD GIVE HELPLESS VETS $30 MORE MONTHLY WASHINGTON, Dec. 6. Armless, legless or blind veterans of the world war would receive $50 per month to hire attendants, instead of $20, as heretofore unduer a senate bill passed today by the house1 and sent to the president.
AGAINST THE MERGER I As might reasonably be expected the National Farmers' union has filed at: Washington objections to the proposed Armour-Morris merger. The statement is to the effect that the union la convention at Lynchburg, Va, in November, adopted a resolution opposing the merger and have so notified Attorney General Daugherty. "respectfully asking that the merger be not permitted." Mr. Daugherty is informed that: "The National Farmers' union believe this proposed merger would be contrary to the interests of the American people." "Kansas farmers oppose the merger," said John Tromble, president of the Kansas Farmers' union, "because we vigorously oppose any proposition which will give the meat packers further power over live stock producers." Senator Norris, of Nebraska, and Congressman Haugen, of Iowa, have been asked to lend their influence against the proposed merger. When 64,000 hogs showed up at the Chicago yards on Monday morning it was found that this was the record since last January. The load caused a break of 10c to 20c with the top grades selling at $8.20 and the general average bringing $8.05 on the day. While hogs were in such liberal supply cattle receipts were light, there being the smallest arrival of range cattle of any day since trfe season opened. The cattle market ruled firm and a few extra choice steers brought $14.75.
But there were a world of sheep in the pens, 28,000, and mostly lambs at that, which ruled weak to 25c lower, according to quality. -
Pennsylvania Joins
Pennsylvania is now a part of the
American farm bureau and will have one delegate at Chto-tgo on December
11. The work done in organizing the tobacco growers of Lancaster county about a year ago has now borne fruit, and seven counties have voted for affiliation with the American farm bureau, while a total of fifteen counties sent delegates to the state meeting at Lancaster on November 25, at which time a constitution was adopted and state officers elected. The counties which were represented by "qualified delegates" at the state meeting, and which form the charter members of the slate organization, were: Lancaster, Chester, Luzerne, Northampton, Lackawanna, Indiana and Wayne. Pennsylvania comes in with but a handful of members, but it is a start and there are a number of "pushers' In the forefront of the movement who promise to stir matters up. J C. Brubaker, of Lititz, was elected president. It is understood that ten or : dozen counties will bo in line to make membership drives in January. The Cattle Raisers and Producers'
association, at Fort Smith. Texas, re
port a total of 300 cars of live stock handled in the first f.4 days from the opening of their sales offices. The Chicago Producers marketed 212 cars, of which 167 cars were hogs, last
week, which put thf farmers in sev
enth place among the competing firms
and in the first place as to the number
of hogs handled for the week. It ig claimed that this concern could double its present cattle business at a small additional overhead. The "Tiger" to Talk. , We are advised from Chicago that Georges Clemenceau, "Tiger" of France, will b!c present to make the
opening address at the first session of
the American farm bureau at Chicago,
on Monday, Dec. 11. The News Letter containing thi3 information, says:
"France's war premier will re-arrange
his itinerary in order to meet the po
tent body of public opinion represented in the world's largest bodv of or
ganized farmers the American farm
bureau." .
Mr. Clemenceau will speak on the
topic, "The Farmer as a World Citi
zen." It is expected that he will do velop the international aspect of the
farmer's problems. How the Ameri
can farmer may develop a freer market for his huge surpluses among the nations of Europe will be explained by the distinguished president of the peace conference. - We are further advised that Immediately following the address, M. Clenienceau will depart for New York by special train, and is to sail for France on the thirteenth. Farm Bloc Program. Senator Capper, chairman of the senate farm bloc, says that agriculture is the only foundation upon which the
well being of the state and nation can securely rest. "Congress must finish the constructive program it has so well started In behalf of the farming industry." The senator continues by stating that:
"It must put through the complete rural credit plan to Drovide farmers
and stockmen with an adequate financial system.
"It must increase the loan limit. "It must reduce freight charges. "It must repeal Section 15-A and
other objectionable provisions of the
cummins-ksch transportation act. . "It must carry out the policy for a better system of marketing. "It must put the development of the Muscle Shoals project in the hands of Henry Ford. "It must pass the Truth-in-Fabric bill. "It must pass the Voigt Filled-Milk bill." "It must pass a constitutional amendment prohibiting lax-exempt securities. "It must bring about still further reductions in . tax - burdens and still further economies in the administration of government. "It must make undisturbed surpluses and stock dividends pay their share toward the maintenance of . government. "It must do whatever this nation can do to promote European recovery

and factories."
Not all tariff laws are of benefit to
the farmer, to the contrary many of the enactments axe a direct expense to agrtcultuVe, farm bloc or no farm bloc-. But this was to be expected. Take field seeds, for example. We are importing about $70,000,000 worth of seed annually and it is the tillers of the eoiV who pay the freight, and not the industrialist. We import clover and alfalfa seed extensively, for instance, and while the tariff benefits the grower of-, these seeds, every farmer who uses them, and who is not a seed grower, i3 heavily taxed.
not merely on his imp6rted seed but also on the price he has to pay -on home grown seed because of this protection. As farmers are the only users of clover and alfalfa seed they are the ones to pay the piper. As to timothy seed America exports a lot of it.
More than 60 different varieties of timber have at one time or another
been put on the market under the name of mahogany, says the Forest Service of the department of agriculture. "Some of these are closely re
lated botanically to true mahogany,
and others look much like it, but the
great majority are not entitled to the name at all."
Transplanting Trees. If you have any ornamental trees or shrubs to be transplanted, do it now. This advice is given by Forest Service of the department of agriculture, which states that the work of trans
planting "must be done sometime after
the leaves fall and before spring
growth starts, in order to give the roots a chance. Make the hole large
enough to take in all the roots without doubling them and deep enough to set the tree or shrub a little lower than It
grew5 before. Then place the roots in
the same position that they grew. Next put two or three inches of good soil under the tree and tramp the top soil
well in around the roots, and next
make a mound about the tree to prevent the wind from loosening it. Use this mound only in fall transplanting and level it down as early as possible in the spring. The next step is to
prune the top of the plant in proportion to the amount of the root system destroyed in digging it up. While still among the principal meat-eating nations of the world, the United States is undergoing a general decline both in per capita consumption of meat and in the number of food animals in proportion to the population. The indications are that more
and more of the meat produced In this country will be used at home and less exported. A chart showing the trend
of human and live stock population in the United States from 1850 to 1922
has been prepared by the bureau of
animal industry and is on exhibition
at the International Live Stock Exposi
tion in Chicago. The principal meat-
eating nations of the world, in the or
der of per capita consumption, are
Argentina. Australia, and New Zea
land, with the United States fourth.
