GRAIN PRICES (Markets by Lamson Bros. & Co., 212 Union National Bank Building.) CHICAGO. 111., Jan. 22. Liquidation in grains was persistent but orderly and induced by lack of export demand, heavy receipts, lower cash values, rains in the extreme southwest and demoralized economic and political conditions in Europe. The visible supply of wheat and corn also showed an increase and indicative of the lull in export takings, corn clearances today totalled approximately 100,000 bushels as compared with nearly one million bushels last year. The situation, as we view it, shows little change and Turther liquidation is likely to develope unless European conditions take a turn for the better. A new reparations plan has been proposed by France, but even if accepted by Germany such Rcquiesecence will probably not come without the usual parliamentary quibbling and delay. The settlement of this question should be a bullish factor. RANGE OF FUTURES (Markets by Lamson Bros. & Co., 212 Union National Bank Buiiding.) CHICAGO, Jan. 22.

GIRLS' SUMMER GAMP

WILL BE ESTABLISHED WEST OF RICHMOND

Working girls of Richmond will

have the benefits of a summer camp,

to be located on the grounds of the old district No. 13 school house on the Henley road according to an announcement Monday. Miss Elsie Marshall, of Earlham college, chairman of the Richmond Community Service girl's working committee, has leased the site for a Community Service camp. Girls of all ages will be permitted to enjoy camp privileges. By using tenting equipment it is thought tbaiT accomodation for at least 40 girls can be furnished. It will be conducted similar to the camp

for boys at Camp Ki-Ro, a camp organized last summer by the Rotary

and Kiwanis clubs and the Y. M. C. A

No definite plans will be made until

funds for the 1923 budget have been

raised. The site is ideally located

for a camping ground. Good shelter.

plenty of good drinking water, shade

and spacious grounds for tennis and

croquet courts and baseball diamonds

swimming pools and other means of

entertainment are a few of the big features. Reports Girls' Meetings. At the meeting of the girls' work committee held Saturday afternoon Mrs. C. T. Simon reported that reg-

Co. to take the Morris concern over and add its assets and business to their own. It is a fact, however, that no protest or opposition to the proposed absorption of the Morris concern has developed at Washington, nor has the farm bureau or other farm or live stock producers' associations filed any protests against the merger anywhere, as being in restraint of free competition in the live stock or meat business. Taking it for granted that "silence gives consent," let us note how great is the business done by Morris & company, and how widely spread are its killing plants and distributing houses, both at home and in Europe. We

must not forget, first of all, that the Chicago Live Stock Exchange did take this matter up last November, and wired Secretary Wallace as follows: "Will the producers' representatives on the market, the commission men, have an opportunity to state his viewa to you on the proposed packer merger?" To this the secretary replied on Nov. 23: "I have your telegram relative to the proposed packer merger. This matter is receiving my careful consideration. No formal application, however, has been filed and no plans for hearing are now in contemplation. I do not feel that I would be justified in making any statement regarding the matter at the present time." The Morris Interests The editor of the monthly organ of

the Live Stock Exchange, in his com

ment on the importance of Morris and

company to the live stock growers, tells that: "Complete elimination of Morris and company from the spheres

of competitive purchasing of live stock and competitive salesmanship of product cannot be viewed otherwise than with regret by live stock producers. The concern operates five major plants, located at Chicago. St. Louis, Kansas City, St. Joseph and Oklahoma City, in addition to two important plants in New York City. Its distributive houses, scattered all over

tracted hundreds of amateurs and city owners of back yard flocks. Wallace on Price-Fixing. Secretary Wallace recently addressed a farm gathering at McPherson, Kansas, wheTe he discussed government price-fixing. A western paper quotes him as saying: "Suppose congress should pass a law fixing the price of wheat a.t a point which would cover the cost of production, and give the farmer just a fair profit. How would the government enforce that price? Either it would have to buy the wheat at the price fixed, or would have to let the farmer keep the surplus wheat on his own farm and loan him practically as

much as the price fixed. Now, if production in the following year were not controlled, farmers would bo

greatly, encouraged by the profitable'

price fixed and would sow more wheat, thus piling up another big crop oa top

of the surplus. More that this, tha.

price would encourage farmers in. sections where wheat is not now being grown to grow wheat, because the price would be higher relatively than the price of corn and oats. That would result in a very large winter wheat crop in most ot the corn belt states, and would add still further to the surplus. In the end, the whole scheme would break down of its own weight, and the farmers would be worse off than they were before. The one crop wheat farmers would be especially hard hit. "It is foolish to close our eyes to the teachings of history of the last

three thousand years. Government can not successfully fix prices on farm crops unless government at the Earn.1 time exercises control over production and is prepared to take care of surplus crops." Grain Trade Problems Charles D. Michaels, one of the best posted men in the country describes the present problems of the grain trade and notably so as to export conditions. He writes as follows:

"The leading feature of the grain sit-

the country, approximately to the j v '

tiorfs in Germany and in Europe gen-

number of 240. and its European facilities at London and other centers, have been important agencies in finding and maintaining outlets for Ameri

can meats and by-products." The foregoing statement shows that I

the live stock commission firms at Chicago are at least passively opposed to the merger, and the same is probably true at all points where the Morris folks are live stock buyers. The commission men are almost as anxious for

competition among buyers as are the

ASSAULT

(Continued from Page One ed men there will be as high as six charges made." Whether the state would ask Judge

Fred L. Odom, of the Sixth judicial district, to order a special grand jury to hear the testimony taken at the open hearing would be determined by developments, Mr. Coco stated. It was stated in the event there was no grand jury indictment returned the state could proceed against those involved through affidavits for anything less than murder. Governor Parker declined to discuss the conference.

CENTERVILLE CO-OP ELEVATOR ELECTION

The stockholders of the Centerville co-operative elevator held an interesting meeting at the high school on Saturday, at which two new directors were elected. The new men in the directory are Elmer Jackson and D. H. Kent, who succeeded Harry Smith and Walter Burgess, five of the old board

holding over. Porter Pike, manager of the elevator, said that the business of the year

was shown to have been profitable and that certain indebtedness had been wiped out. The spirit of optimism prevailed at the meeting and the stock was fairly well represented ac the gathering. The cooking class of the Centerville school served an enjoyable lunch and was complimented by the farmers who partook of the edibles so nicely served. The directors will meet at the Centerville elevator on Tuesday afternoon to elect officers for the present year.

I signed, to devote all his time to a pri

vate warehouse concern, the National Wool Warehouse and Storage company, at Chicago. The farm bureau letter then goes on to say that: "The work of the wool department has been

temporarily suspended by the executive committee, pending the organization of the new co-operative marketing department under the direction of Walton Peteet." Inasmuch as the wool growers of the separate sections have their own pools, shipping officials, etc., all run as Individual enterprises by the counties or territories, it does rot seem that the American farm bureau can possibly play any large part in. the wool marketing problem. But, while this is true, we must not forget that the national body was active in assisting in organizing state and district pools," and that the work of the farm bureau in shaping wool

tariff legislation was very important,

through demands and pressure on the farm bloc. It is to be expected and hoped that the American farm bureau will continue to maintain a wool section as in the past, because in that way it can at any time make a nationwide appeal in the interest of the wool growers. Its efforts in regard to the truth-in-fabrics bill were not only for the benefit of wool growers, but of the general public, as every one would like to know how much virgin wool and how much shoddy and cotton the often so-called "all-wool" cloth blankets and clothes really contain. Want Dues Paid Promptly , The American farm bureau wants to secure the prompt payment of the per capita assessments from the state farm bureaus, and A. R. Simpson, office manager at Chicago, claims to have worked out a plan to insure a more even flow of money into the national cash box. We are advised that Mr. Simpson will present his suggested plan to state and "county" farm bureaus upon invitation. Heretofore the state headquarters have

Been Held responsible for all such dues. That portion of the membership' dues which belongs to the national organization, of course, should.be paid promptly, as it has been taking a lot of money to finance ttys various departments of the big farm body. Mr.

bimpson. nas recently been transferred by Secretary Coverdale to the depart

ment of relations, having to do with a uniform system of accounting and financing in the offices of county and state farm bureaus; also in that of the national headquarters. They have been holding a national poultrv show at the International amphitheatre at the Chicago stock yards and an Indiana man carried off more ribbons and medals than any other exhibitor. This man, Charles V. Keeler, breeder of White Wyandotts, captured 21 ribbons, besides medals, cups and cash prizes. He took home the silver cup for the best pan and the gold medal for the best display. He capped the climax by

erally. It is so grave that exporters here and at the seaboard are showing increasing uneasiness as to the out come. Exchange rates have declined.

and they are in doubt as to what they will be able to do with the grain they have sold to Germany and the continent. A breaking up of the German empire, as suggested by yesterday's cables, places exporters in a position where they do not know whether their sales abroad are to hold, or whether they had better sell out the grain they" already have to fill their sales. Some exporters have the cash grain bought and are trying to get it moved to the Atlantic ports to be in position where they can ship on short notice. Others have futures bought against their sales abroad. It is a case where losses may result either way and all they can do is to await developments."
