GRAIN PRICES (Markets by Lamson Bros. & Co., 212 Union National Bank Building.) CHICAGO, 111., Dec. 27. Strength in May and July wheat was the dominate factor in today's market, although all other grains averaged higher and closed near top figures. May wneat "went into new high ground on the crop while the July approached tis previous high point. Cables were strong and foreign news generally bullish. Wheat in Buenoes Are3 showing an advance of two cents on account of further reports of poor yields and quality in several additional sections of country where the new crop is being harvested. The weekly government weather and crop report commented on the unfavorable condition of winter wheat. Corn met considerable selling but it was well absorbed and strength imparted by the advance in wheat. Oats acted well under the influence of better cash demand while rye held strong on account of a renewed export inquiry. The situation in all grains is strong and we look for buying power o develope on any moderate setbacks. The real bullish factors will not become operative until after the first of the new year.

Physicians say that she has a chance for recovery. EVERSMAN TELLS MEN TO SAFEGUARD SELVES Use of guns by local police officers whenever necessary, rather than subject themselves to violence at the hands of law offenders, was urged by Chief of Police William F. Eversman in instructions given department officers Tuesday evening. Chief Eversman emphasized the careful use of firearms by his men, urging them not to display their guns unless the situation clearly indicated the need of such protection. The recent case of the shooting of Officers Baetz and Reckers was cited as an example where adequate protection was needed. "A police officer should not be made the target of criminals just because he is sponsoring the cause of law," the chief said. TRY TO PROVE AGED LADY NEEDS GUARDIAN Efforts to establish evidence that Mrs. Charlotte Clapp is incapable of managing her own business affairs because of o'd aee and infirmity were continued ' Wednesday in Wayne circuit court; in the hearing of the action petitioning for a guardian to be appointed for her by her sister, Mrs. Agnes Bradway. The fact that tbe defendant in tho case has been dependent on certain agents to transact her intimate business affairs was brought out in the testimony of local bank officials, who took the stand for the plaintiff. Checks signed by Mrs. Clapp. and filled in by others, had been presented at the bank, the testimony said. The evidence eiven bv the bank i officials further stated that J. O. Wil-! son, avowed agent for the defendant, had called at local banks at various times to make deposits and transact banking business for Mrs. Clapp. Further testimony was given by other witnesses showing that Mrs. Clapp did not take an interest in her business transactions, but trusted to the honesty of other unduly. The case was beun last Friday morning, this being its third day in Wayne circuit court. Army Deserter to Be Sent To Ft. Benjamin Harrison James Givens, deserter from the United States army who gave himself up at police headquarters on Dec. 4, will be returned to Ft. Benjamin Harrison at Indianapolis. Chief Eversman, of the local police force, had been awaiting a reply from the government in regard to Givens and received instructions by telegram Wednesday morning. The reward for the return of Givens is $50. The largest sum ever won by an owner in the course of a single racing season in England was won by the Duke of Portland with two horses, Donovan and Ayrshire. The amount was in excess of $365,000.

Interesting Story Morehouse parish and the town of Bastrop which are in the limelight because of the kidnapping and killing of Daniels and Richards, have an interesting story. According to a booklet published a few years ago by a resident of Mer Rouge the town and parish got their names from a Kentuckian and a Spanish nobleman. In 1806, when Spain owned what is now the state of Louisiana, a Spaniard, Baron De Bastrop, was said to have obtined a contract from Spain to the effect that when he had induced 500 families to settle in the country lying north and east of the Ouachita river he would acquire ownership of 12 leagues of land, or about one million acres, for his service. Developed Country. To help in the fulfillment of this contract, Baron DeBastrop is credited with having enlisted the services of Abraham Morehouse, a Kentuckian. In turn Mr. Morehouse is said to have arranged with Capt. Josiah Davenport, a native or Rhode Island, to assist him in the Colonization work. Settlers were brought from other sections of the United States to develop the country. The parish was created by an act of the legislature in 1844 and shortly thereafter the parish seat was established at two cross roads. It was decided to name the parish "Morehouse" in honor of Abraham Morehouse, while the parish seat was named "Bastrop" in honor of Baron DeBastrop. barm Sale Calendar Wednesday, January 10 T. F.

NO-MO! THAT MOT ENOUGH

FRANKLIN FARMERS' INSTITUTE SELECTS OFFICERS FOR YEAR WHITEWATER, Ind., Dec. 27 Election of officers for next year's institute, and reports of committees on membership and resolutions, were the important activities of the Franklin township institute Wednesday. Talks were given by Maurice LaFuze on "Cropping and Fertilization" and by Mrs. Lillian Pearce on "Possibilities of Community Life." It is estimated that an attendance of several hundred has taken advantage of the institute at Whitewater, the first for this community and the second for the township, annual institutes having been started at Bethel last year. A special musical program given by the musical club of Morton high school of Richmond at the Christian church here Tuesday evening as part of the institute program was especially appreciated, and extended far beyond the time that had been planned due to the audience demanding an encore for al most every number. The program was as follows: Piano solo, Lelah Hamilton; clarinet solo, Walter Reinhard; trombone solo, Norman Pilgrim; woodwind trio, Horton Cowles, flute, Walter Reinhard, clarinet. Prof. Maddy, bassoon; piano solo, Ruth Stauber; trio, Mary Mmnich, violin, Mildred Minnich, French horn, Ruth Hutchins, piano; reading, Verda King; 'cello solo, Richard Crawford; flute solo, Horton Cowles; violin solo, Ruth Hutchins; saxophone solo, Prof. Maddy; string quartet, Ruth Hutchins, Pauline Arnold, Margaret! Livingstone and Richard Crawford. Miss Verda King who gave readings was compelled to respond to two encores. The first forenoon's program included, besides the community singing led by Don Jennings and a solo by him, and the welcome by the( president, O. C.

Niewoehner, master of Richmond lodge, presided at the banquet STANDARDIZED GUNS FOR POLICE DERATED Guns used by local policemen willi be standardized' if the present plans. of the police department materialize. Either a 38 or 41 calibre cylinder guu will be the standard weapon which the officers intend purchasing. The matter of standardizing the guns has been much in evidence for some time. Council has been confronted with thu proposition on past occasions, but the members of the department intend to expend their own money in an effort to standardize. Roll call was made in the city hall Tuesday night and a general discussion was held. The 38 calibre cylinder gun was the popular choice among the men, although, some favored the 41 calibre gun on a 45 frame, which is an extra powerful weapon for the ordinary police use. Several members of the department are anxious to get the matter settled and another meeting will be held to take final action. As it is now, some officers carry automatics, and others revolvers and pistols. Standardized weapons for the department, it is said, enables officers to work in pairs to much, better advantage.
