GRAIN PRICES (Markets by Lamson Bros. & Co., 212 Union National Bank Building.) CHICAGO, Jan. 2. Persistent liquidation carried wheat to new low levels on this present decline and final figures were about four cents lower than Saturday. The failure of any relief, either for agricultural interests or for foreign buyers, resulted in the Belling out of lines purchased in the hope of a stimulated demand from this source, and much grain came out on stop loss orders. With December out of the way, cash prices were based on May and quotations were therefore sharply lower., Export business in wheat, corn and rye developed on the break, but not in sufficient volume to offset the pressure of liquidation and a heavy increase, both in the domestic visible and supplies on ocean passage. Receipts of corn were large and buvers in the samples marke were

heavy sellers of May. Sentiment for the time being is very bearisn ana prices may temporarily work lower. RANGE OF FUTURES (Markets bv Lamson Bros. & Co., 212 Union National Bank Building.) CHICAGO, Jan, 2. Following is the range of futures on Chicago Board of Trade today

TO PERMIT ARBUGKLE FILMS IN WINCHESTER (Special to The Palladium) WINCHESTER, Ind., Jan. 2 No ban will be placed on Arbuckle pictures by local authorities or exhibitors, according to their pronouncements today. "The people will 6how whether they want the pictures,' said the mayor. "As far as I am concerned, I will make no attempt to stop them. "I wil run the pictures if they are

offered," said Will H. Brenner, own er of the two motion picture theatres. "I see no reason why the pictures should not run, since all in which Arbuckle stars are clean." None of the women's organizations has made any move against the pictures. At the court house here Monday the following changes occurred: Miss Anna Tooker took up her duties as auditor; Miss Nora Smith became treasurer, this being the first time a county office has been held in this county by a woman. Frank Fielder became county assessor and Roy W. Cox, commissioner of the eastern district. Lunda M. Fisher succeeded himself as sheriff; A. B. Purdy, surveyor. James M. Browne retires as auditor, Melvie E. Mull, treasurer, and James A. White, county assessor. Winchester now claims the distinction of being the best lighted town of its size in eastern Indiana.

SCOUR t Continued from Page One.) police last night reporting trouble at a certain address in the negro district. Five officers were sent to investigate. They found no disturbance and searched the district. They noticed that lights were darkened in a negro cafe and stepped up on the porch in the glare of a light outside. Hail of Bullets Without warning a hail of bullets came from inside. Officer S. EL Brantley fell dead with his revolver in Its holster and his four companions, Jess Hildreth, Arthur Adams, D. S. Loveland and Floyd Sellers, received bullet wounds. ' The tip of Adams nose was shot away and the other officers were struck in the legs. No one was wounded seriously. The negroes ran out a side door of the cafe, before reinforcements arrived and it is believed they obtained a motor car and drove north. They were armed with high powered rifles. They left a large quantity of ammunition. Police declare that Ed Glass, an undertaker, who has been involved with the authorities recently was the leader of the negroes. It is not known who his companions were. Glass was arrested last Saturday charged with carrying concealed weapons and was released on bond.

The Farm arid the Farmer By William R. Sanborn

UNION COUNTY CAMPAIGN The membership campaign of the farm bureau in Union county begins early in the yer and will be completed within a week. It is planned to make the canvass snappy by devoting one day to each township, beginning with Brownsville on Wednesday, Jan. 3. The ball opens in Liberty township on Jan. 4; in Harmony on the 5th; in Center on the 6th. Union township will be reaphed on Monday of next week and the campaign will close on Tuesday, Jan. 9, which day will be devoted to gathering the farmers of Harrison township into the fold. Meetings will be held in each township on the evening prior to the drive, at which the principal speaker will be Russel Van Hook, of Rensselaer, followed by local farmers in charge of the work. It is expected that the bulk of the signatures will be obtained at the various township meetings, as all present will be given the opportunity of signing up. The absentees will be duly noted and be called upon on the following day. as a thorough canvass is to be made. Circular letters ana farm bureau advertising matter was mailed to every farmer in the county last week and a special farm bureau edition of the Liberty Herald will reinforce the efforts of the farm bureau officials to make the best possible showing of enrollment in each township. The farmers' institute held at Liberty Dec. 21 and 22 came during the busy season of Christmas shopping and the pressure of arranging for home-comings and holiday entertainments. While this did not affect the good quality or attractiveness of the ! program, it cut down the numbers in chosen for the institute of 1923 are: Charles Shrader, chairman; Allen MciVianan, vice-cuaiiuiaii, .uaum.; xmfuze, secretary; and Everett Little, treasurer. Great Livestock Year The market editor of the Breeders' Gazette, a man unusually well informed, looks hopefully ahead for another good year for feeders. He tells an interesting story of profits on livestock feeding during last year and says: "Livestock extricated the corn belt from financial quagmire in 1922." He foresees a greater purchasing power on the part of meat eaters this year than last and cites the business of 1922 as one that '"should dissipate apprehension that the nation is going on a vegetarian diet." In looking back over the year 1922 nals and one will not find a period when cattle, hogs and sheep paid so well for their board, or when the disparity between feed and finished live stock prices was so great. At intervals during the war and the post-bellum period this disparity favored the graingrower: during 1922 the advantage was decidedly with the feeder. For once the rule that a cheap corn crop cannot, be profitably fed was violated. It was merely necessary to buy thin cattle or sheep, give them access to feed, and let time do the rest. The whole course of the 1921 trade was reversed, as. during that year, the longer a steer was carried the more money it lost. The year 1922 afforded a veritable harvest for regular feeders, many of whom cashed cattle at margins over first cost of $4 per cwt. or more. Stock cattle prices were down to bed-rock when feedlots were filled in the fall of 1921; this.- together with steadily advancing prices as 1922 progressed, made wide margins possible. Compared With 1921. The record of the year , in Chicago on fat cattle was $14. paid for yearlings in December, $11.50 for hogs in March and $16.65 for lambs in May. At other markets values were correspondingly high. This period of comparative, if not actual, prosperity was not heralded. The latter part of 1921 was a season of depression in all spheres of industry. An army of unemployed occupied the country, corn was practically without a market, other than at the stockyards, and everywhere there ! was an accumulation of fat cattle. many of them overdue at the market; and the outcome of the hay crop then in the maturing stage was dubious. Owing to financial stress, uncertainty and other causes, the country bought ! thin cattle and sheep sparingly. A lack of competition made possible the bargain sale that eventually proved abnormally profitable to those who were able financially and with sufficient courage to continue. Many instances are recorded where cattle feed ers recouped their entire 1921 loss by this year's operations, and the story of lamb feeders' profits, if printed in detail, would sound incredible. The fact must not be ignored, however, that it was as abnormal a season as that of 1921, the pendulum swinging, in accordance with custom, from one extreme to the other. Will Sell Eggs Co-operatively It is, now announced that a co-operative association has been organized to sell the output of eggs in a number of Atlantic coast states, to offset the competition in eggs from the Pacific coast regions. The new concern is known as the Atlantic Coast Poultry Producers' association. It states that around 15,000,000 dozens of eggs a year are shipped from the Pacific coast to the big eastern cities "and although a month old on arrival are sold as fresh eggs to the detriment of nearby producers." Some folks are fond of rabbits, when properly cooked and served, as witness the fact that Fremont, Ohio, reports the serving of 175 of them at the Jackson township farm bureau dinner during holiday week. E. J. Reynolds was re-Hected nres-

ident and B. G. Gaiser re-elected secretary-treasurer at the annual meeting of the Center township farm bureau last Friday evening. D. H. Kent was named vice-president. New directors elected were:, Arvel Dailey Everett Wissler and Gaar Jackson. David Harrison and Fred Staats are the holdover members of the directory. Rust Quarantine Modified Removal of the restrictions against the shipment of the "barberry plant known as Mahonia Repens, were removed by the department of agriculture on January 1. This bush was barred from several northwestern states, in common with other species of the rust producing plant, but it has been found that this particular variety does not affect small grains with rust. Changing the subject for a moment.

let us hand on a little advice about the care of spare tubes. It comes from a well informed dealer, who says: "Don't carry spare tubes loosely m tool box or under the seat; keep them in the special tube bags or wrap them carefully in soft cloth. If kept in the original box shake some powdered chalk into the box, so as to prevent chafing against the sides. Oil and grease are just as bad for rubber as sharp tools, and the tubes should be thoroughly protected from them." Average Prices Compared A comparison of "average" prices on the Chicago Board of Trade, and of livestock prices at the Chicago yards, show the following differences in the last week of December as compared with the same week in 1921. December wheat sold close to $1.31 last week against a high of $1.09 in 1921, and May wheat sold at better than $1.25 against a top of $1.16 a year ago. DecemDer corn ranged above 75 cents last week against 45 to 46 in 1921, with cash corn bringing more than 33 cents over 1921 prices at the year's end. Oats ranged from 10 cents to 12 cents over 1921 figures at the close of December, and this has been the rule for months. As to cattle, hogs and sheep a comparison shows that cattle, which aver aged but $6.95 in the closing week of 1921, made an $S.S5 average in the closing wek of December, 1922. Aver age price of hogs was $7.20 in 1921 against $S.45 in the closing week of 1922. The figures on sheep and lambs are still more striking by comparison. hneep averaged $(.o0 last week, and Iambs $14.10 against $4.70 and $11.20 at the end of December, 1921. It is of interest to note that as the result of speculative deals on the Chi cago floor that the deliveries of cash grain made in December were: Wheat, 1.212,000 bushels: corn, 4,S53,000 bushels: oats, 2,575.000 bushels, and rye, 1,852,000 bushels. That contradicts the oft repeated assertion that the speculator trades only in "wind." GERMANY ; (Continued from Page One ) based on the idea of being just to Germany. Justice would require her to pay the entire sum. But unhappily it is impossible to practice justice. The thing that has gradually come to be realized by well-informed and thoughtful rersons is that there is a limit to what Germany can possibly pay, and it is practically the universal conception at present that the test of the amount of the German reparations shall be "how much can Germany pay?" Separate Matters. Since this is the test of German reparations, it is clear that the amount of the debts due to America from the allied countries has nothing to do with it. If all the debts due from Europe to America were cancelled tomorrow, it would not Increase by a dollar the amount that Germany is capable of paying. This Is why America takes the position that there is no relation between German reparations and the debts due us. The American position is that the German reparations should be fixed j V T 1 "T uo part of any one of our debtors that there should be cancellation should be met by the American view that in this case, as in the case of German reparations the test is: "How much can the debtor country pay?"

The most important role assigned to them in the American fleet's war maneuvres will be played this winter by the navy department. In the Pacific waters nearly 50 submarines will participate. The Pacific force will be under Capt. Bronson. The United States has 50 per cent more coal mines, and 200.000 more coal miners than would be needed if the industry were not seasonal.
