PAGE FOURTEEN FIND LONDON SHOPS CROWDED WITH FAKE ANTIQUE FURNITURE
LONDON, Dec. 29. The method3 by which thousands of person are cheated annually through the sale by dealers ,of antique furniture, draperies and porcelain which are "faked," -were shown recently when an antique dealer was brought into court charged with fraud. ' ' . '.. During the trial it was declared that dealers sell thousands of pounds worth of antiques every year to American
tourists viKitinst England, and that
probably less than five percent of the purchases are real.
The methods of the antique dealers
in faking their wares are carried out so skillfully that the experts differed widely in their opinion of many of the pieces brought into court. The favoriie system of the crooked dealer is to obtain a genuine antique of a certain period, for instance a chair. This he will take apart, and reconstruct a number of new chairs of the same design, each one containing a section of the original chair. It was shown during the hearing that an antique bedstead had been taken to pieces, and that the 12 duplicates fashioned in accordance with this system has sold for $5,000

The Farm and the Farmer By William R. Sanborn
FINE PROGRAM AT PURDUE 1
If every Indiana farmer who would be benefited by spending "FarmersWeek" at Purdue should visit Lafayette on that occasion the town would not hold them all. We have reached that conclusion after a study of the program, the most comprehensive yet offered bv the state college of agriculture. It is said to be "an entirely new program," with several new features and including some of. the best posted agricultural speakers in the country, and one which will lend variety and value to each session. The sessions, which begin Monday
noon, Jan. 8, will close Friday evening, and will last five full days. In that brief space will be compressed a whole lot of information that has been
gained by years of experience and study along lines of the utmost interest to the tiller of the soil and the
erower of live stock
Necessary readjustments in Indiana aericulture to suit present-day condi
tions, which is one of the big prob
lems before farmers of the state; improvement of the Indiana farm home;
and marketing of farm products, are
thrpft of the leadine Questions to
come before the short course. Mon
day's program will be given over to l . . .. . . . m 1 t .
each
In faking china the work is more, the first topic and Tuesday s to the
difficult. Here the dealer must make
copies conforming minutely ta the original and bearing the maker's signature. ' This requires a skill which few persons possess nowadays, and which easily baffles the experts. , It is estimated that 60 percent of the antiques now being shown In London are not what they are represented to be.
FUNERAL RITES HELD FOR ALBERT GRIPE
Funeral services for Albert Cripe, of Minneapolis, a native of Wayne coun
ty, and widely known; among the older
residents and business men of this
vicinity, were held Thursday at th-e
home of hi3 brother in Chicago. Mr. Cripe died Tuesday.
Mr. Cripe, who was a veteran of the
Civil war, had many friends in Rich
mond and Wayne county, among whom
were the late Benjamin Starr, Major Lacey, Frank Davenport, Charles Unthank and many others. Mr. Cripe spent his early days at; Dublin. At the begiuning of the Civil war, Mr. Cripe enlisted June, 1862, in Company C of the 84Lh Indiana Volunteer Infantry. He was a model soldier, and was admired in private life as well as in the army for his kind and charitable disposition. Goes to Chicago Soon after hfs return from the army he went to Chicago where he took charge of the daily circulation of the Tribune, Times, and other papers. He had occumulated a small fortune when the great Chicago fire in 1871 swept away his property and he had to make a new beginning. As a commercial traveler he often
visited Wayne county where he always was greeted cordially by business men. Of the two companies that went into the 84th regiment, five still are living here. They are: Amos Huddleston, of Dublin. Frank Davenport, John Huffman, Harry Hoover, and Charles R. Unthank, of this city, all of whom were saddened by the news of Mr. Cripe's death. Mr. Cripe Is survived by the widow, Elizabeth, a son, Lawrence, and a daughter, Mrs. Sheluon Wood. The funeral services were conducted by the G. A. R. and the Odd Fellows lodge.
Circuit Court
RULE GUARDIAN NEEDED That Mrs.. , Charlotte Clapp is incapable of managing her property and business affairs by reason of her age and infirmity, and that a guardian should be appointed for her, was the substance of the verdict rendered late Thursday afternoon by the regular petit jury, which heard the argument and testimony in the case when the petition against the aged lady was brought by her sister, Mrs. Agnes Bradway, in Wayne circuit court. The jury deliberated about an hour before giving its verdict. DISMISS $231.57 SUIT The suit brought by Roy Barton against the Frudential Loan and Investment company, demanding f 231.-
was dismissed by the court, and
the defendant was ordered to pay the costs. COMPANY WINS SUIT The McMahan-Lieb company won its suit on account against Oliver C. Rowe, of the Pure Ice Cream company, after a default by the defendant and a trial in Wayne circuit court late Thursday afternoon. The demand was for $118.46, which the defendant must pav to the plaintiff. PETITION GRANTED Petition to file a second paragraph of the complaint in the case of Demp Copenhaver against Charles Petty, wherein $1,000 is demanded in a con
tract, was granted attorneys for the plaintiff by the court late Thursday. FILES SECOND COMPLAINT A second complaint was filed in Wayne circuit court Thursday by the Northern Wayne bank of Economy against Richard Conway and wife and Daisy Kinzie, of Green's Fork, to cancel and set aside the alleged fraudulent conveyance of property. The bnnk first sued on a note and later learned that the defendants had transferred property, the complaint stales. IS AWARDED $100 Edgar C. Denny was awarded $100 by the court Friday in his suit for claims against the Farmers' National bank of Milton, of which Claude S. Kitterman is receiver. There were several other defendants in the case, but all but Mr. kitterman were dismissed. Costs were assigned to the defendant.
second. 'Marketing topics will run through the entire week, with farm
management specialists from Purdue discussing various phases, along with
cost production studies. Some Noted Sneakers
J. Clyde Marquis, of the bureau of agricultural economics, department of agriculture, will speak Tuesday even
ing. Dr. B. H. Hibbard of the Univer
sity of Wisconsin, a nationally knowa
farm economist, will discuss "Future Prices of Farm Products." a topic of
vital interest to every land owner or tenant. His talk alone will be worth
going to the short course to hear,
Dean Sarah Louise Arnold of Simmons
college, Boston, will be the principal speaker for the women from outside
the state. She also will be the speak
er Wednesday evening before the
short course.
Besides these speakers, all of whom
are well known, and the members of
the Purdue staff, several others from
outside the state, wUi be present for
theVarious state association meeting
These annual meetings include the fol. lowing state organizations: Corn growers, vegetable growers, home economics, livestock breeders, dairymen, anl the beef and dairy oattle breed associations. A new feature of the course this year will be tours of different parts of the farms one each day of the week, for both men and women. The men and women also will inspect the new home economics building and the women will hold their sessions there. Wheat Sown from Airplane " Doesn't exactly sourd reasonable but the news from the Lake Tulare district in California is that a lot of wheat is being planted by airplane in the wet
bottom land sections bordering the
lake. The man making the test plant
ing carried 800 pounds of wheat anl if the test proves a success it is ex
pected that 20,000 acres will be sown
in this manner this year The man doing the work thiuks there will be no need for touching the soil after the sowing, believing tnat the fall from the sky will bury the grain deep enough for proper rooting. There are farmers in the corn belt who produce more corn every year than does the entire state of Nevada, which is credited with raising 30,000 bushels this year. Contrast this with 450,000,000 bushels in Iowa. The department of agriculture tells us that some corn is now grown in every state of the Union and that this country produces about three-fourths of the world's crop. The average crop of
corn in tropical lonaa is Dut n.s bushels, against 47 bushels in Connecticut. The average for the entire country in the last 10 years has been over 25 bushels. Missouri Corn Show In addition to $1,575 in cash premiums, nine beautiful trophies are to be awarded at the Missouri state corn
show at Columbia, Jan. 15 to 19. Two gold watches are included among the
trophies, and the state trophy, which
stands 30 anches high, is one of the finest ever awarded at any such show, either state or national. This prize is awarded every year, and winners
may hold it for one year, or until a new winner claims the honor. The names of all winners are engraved.
year after year, so that the trophy
stands as a record of the annual
event. The show will include wheat, oats, soy beans, clover, cow peas and
grasses, and premiums are offered for all the important seeds grown in the state. The club membership also will
contest in the corn show. During the week a lecture and dem
onstration will be given on gasoline engine action and principles, both as
to cars and tractors, this being a feature many ruralists surely will appre
ciate. Marketing Service
O. E. Brafute, newly elected presi
dent of the American Farm Bureau
says that the co-operative marketing
department is to dominate the program of work for the coming year. He has
given out a new slogan, and says
"Service through co-operative marketing that is the program of the
farm bureau for the next year. Cooperative marketing is trump. All the departments, all the officials, and all the employes of the American farm bureau federation will be expected to play to the trump card. Let there be no doubt anywhere but that the chief work of the entire organization for the next year will be co-operative marketing." The marketing committee has been
instructed to employ a director of the
cooperative marketing department at
once, inis man will spWt hit. nwn
staff. It is thought that
the total income of the A mprifan farm
bureau will now be devoted to this work and that a staff of commodity
y?uiansis win De assigned to the various branches of th enew venture.
No More Organizers The organization department is to be
discontinued. No more men will travel
the field in quest of members. Every member in every state "belongs" as it
is, because every state pays a per capita tax to the national organization.
The services of H. C. McKenzie as di
rector of research in taxation have
been discontinued and the work transferred to the legislative department,
under the direction of Gray Silver, at II'. i .
wasuingion.
It has been ruled that the vice-nrps-
ident is to be at the call of the nresi-
dent at all times, and when he is deliv
ering addresses or otherwise engaged in farm work he shall be paid $25 per
aay ana expenses. The president and secretary are to employ legal counsel at whatever price their judgment may direct.
Arrangements for securing daily figures on carlot receipts of 10 leading fruits and vegetables at 33 important consuming centers have just been completed by the United States department of agriculture. Heretofore only 13 cities have been covered. The en
larged service is made possible through
tn co-operation of the railroads which furnish the information, and is part of the department's program for the most complete market news service that can be devised.

'LANS FOR PACKING MERGER ADVANCED
(By Associated Press) CHICAGO, Dec. 29. Plans for the
acquisition of Morris and company by
Armour and company were considered as advanced today after a meeting yesterday by officials of both con-
Those in the conference included J.
Ogden Armour, president of the Armour and company. Nelson and Edward Morris, officials of Morris and
company, and legal and financial experts representing both packing houses.
No statement was made by the con
ferees but it was generally under
stood that arrangements for paying the ' reported $30,000,000 purchase price were discussed.
Mr. Armour made his first public
statement yesterday since it was re
ported that Armour and company
planned to absorb Morris and compa
ny, but it contained no mention of that move. It was an explanation of the formation of Armour and company of Delaware.
In carrying out the division of the
old company into two corporations.
Mr. Armour is understood to have pledged a considerable portion of his
private fortune. One transaction in
volved, it was understood a loan of
$20,000,000 arranged with a group of Chicago banks.
In view of that, and other prospective re-arrangements of the fi-

mail was cancelled by hand each day. This brings the total pieces of firstclass mail cancelled during the week to more than a quarter of a million.
These figures, however, do not tell
the entire tale, because hundreds of
pieces of prepaid mail, which do not have to be cancelled, were handled !
amons the first-class mail, and on
Tuesday of this week, the day follow-'
ing Christmas, more than 21,000 pieces I of first-class mail was run through i the cancelling machine.
Comparison Shows Rush i When one compares these facts with !
the announcement that an average to-!
tal of mail handled in a week is but
65,000, a fair idea of the rush business
is attained. Total amount of first
class mail handled during the Christmas week last year was 169,000 pieces, or 41,000 fewer letters and cards than
were handled during the Christmas wek this year. The largest number of pieces of first-class mail ever handled
in one day was on Friday before Christ
mas when 50,000 pieces were run
through the cancelling machine. Forty thousand pieces in one day was the previous record.
Mailing of Christmas greetings this
year exceeded in quantity the total of any previous year. . One minister in
this city is reported to have received more than 400 Christmas greting cards during Christmas week. In addition to the large first-class mail business, the
postoffice also had to care for the other
classes of mail matter, working day and night the Sunday before Christmas and on Christmas day to distribute parcels arriving at the office.
