THE RICHMOND PALLADIUM AND SUN-TELEGRAM, RICHMOND, IND., WEDNESDAY, JAN. 24, 1923.
The Farm and the Fanner By William R. Sanborn
TREND OF PRICES A. O. Mather, student and -writer on financial and economic subjects. Is fearful that rising prices and advancing wages will tend to check the return of prosperity, so eagerly awaited and so generally anticipated. Mr. Mather does not refer to advances in farm products. Far different. He talks of the Increased costs of manufactured goods and of the demands of the various unions, here, there and everywhere; from mining coal or building skyscrapers to -whittling toothpicks or making mousetraps. He lets in a little light on the American Woolen company's operations, tell of the advance In crude rubber and articles of its manufacture, and of the upward trend of prices in a whole-

faying that there are more signs of returning prosperity than at any time in the past three years, but in spite of that: "Economists are finding valid fears that budding prosperity -will be nipped by the same vicious process of higher prices and. higher wages that spelled disastor only two years ago." "For example," he said, "the American Woolen company yesterday announced advances in prices ranging about 20 percent in opening sales of its heavyweight fabrics for the fall of this year. At the same time the textile workers' union passed resolutions to open negotiations with the company calling for an advance in -wages of 22a percent, thus restoring the reduction made in 1D20." Incidentally, the silk -workers in the New Jersey plants presented demands' for an increase in wages of five percent." We may add that it Is a foregone conclusion that all articles of rubber construction, from auto tires to overshoes, are listed for higher prices. Crude rubber at 36c to 37c a pound is Mghcr than for a long time while cotton is close to the top in two years. Further, the U. S. Rubber company announces an advance in wages, effective Feb. 1, to an extent that will restore the reduction made in June, 1921. Progress In Business.
John J. Mitchell, one of the biggest
and best known bankers in the country, has just returned to Chicago from
tiio f-Ast. lie states that "Eastern fi
nanciers are rather surprised at the progress in business. In fact, they would be disposed to put on the brakes, except for their reliance on the Eur
opean situation to hold undue expans
ion and possible Inflation in check. The business situation is promising, but it needs careful guidance if -we ?.re to avoid a secondary inflation and
another period of depression." We be
lieve Mr. Mitchell knows just what he is talking about.
There -was an increase of 2.4 per
cent in the number employed and of three percent in the December payrolls, as compared with November, according to the showing of the bureau of labor statistics, just made public. It is also noteworthy that Dun and company, report 51 advances in -wholesale linps within the past 10 days, with here and there a softening of prices mi some of the least important lin. F. C. Farm Institute. Milo Brown, chairman of the executi' e committee of the Farmers' institute to be put on at Fountain City, .);n. Hl-Feb. 1, came in to see us on Tuesday morning. This " is to be the - second annual at Fountain City, and will include a corn show as a matter of course. The program sets forth that e-hibits must be in place by noon of Wednesday, the opening day, and that entries are limited to New Garden township. Ag the program tells it. "The Yoke of Age,' 'a seven-reel film will be s-hown on the opening night. Mr. nrown says that the film was rented from the Homestead Film company, of Chicago, at a cost of $25 for the evening. The film was mad.e in Illinois last summer and depicts rural life. Tie two-dav prozram promises to bring
out a good crowd, should the weather be favorable. It opens with a community song at 10 o'clock on Wednesday, followed by an invocation by Rev. James, a few words of welcome by Milo Brown and a talk on "Rural Community Needs" by Everett Hunt. Following this will come the committee announcements. Rev. J. J. Rae, of Richmond will be the afternoon speaker, beginning at 2 o'clock, his subject being: "The Other Fellow." R. II. Muller, of Cedar Grove, and Mrs. Carl Tuttle, of Pleasant Lake, both sent by Purdue, are on the Thursday program. Steal 24 Scvs. The remarkable feature of the story of the theft of 24 pure-bred sows from a farmer near Dixon, III., is that it is alleged that ether was used to quiet
then. The telegram from Dixon relates
that: "Investigation by the authorities of the 24 brood sows stolen from the Charles Hatch farm on Friday night shows that the sows were rendered unconscious through the use of a large mat of cotton which had been soaked
in ether before they were taken from the hoghouse, thus preventing their making any noise." Seems like a farfetched tale but may nevertheless be true. If so, it probably is the first instance of the kind on record. Cure For Roup. A lady who has raised any number of chickens claims that sulphur will cure roup in the poultry flock. She writes as follows: "One of the best and surest cures for roup is fumigating the henhouse with sulphur. Do it just before they go on the roost and if your henhouse is not absolutely tight you can do it when a few sick ones are on the perches. It will not hurt them one mite and will cure them every time. "We have used this cure for years and it has never failed. A poultry dealer in our town told me of this remedy many years ago." Potato growers and shippers are asking railroads for a 20 percent reduction of freight rates. Lower rates will aid farmers in moving the unprecedented crop, much of which is said to be still on their hands. If the potatoes cannot be moved soon through freight reductions between Feb. 1 and
July 1 heavy losses and curtailment in
production will probably result. Building Co-operatively. The desirability of building co-operative agricultural organization from the bottom up rather than creating an
overhead organization and. building from the top down is stressed by Sir Horace Plunkett, leader of Irish co
operation, who is now making a sur
vey of the agricultural situation in the United States, of federal and state
policies in promoting agriculture, as
well as of the movement on the part
of farmers for bettering their own con
dition through co-operation.
"A notable characteristic of the agri
cultural co-operative movement in the United States is that the organizations are builded from the top down," said
Sir Horace. "We don't build in that way. When we organize we build from the bottom up and not from the top down. , -: "To develop the agricultural community you must look upon farming as an Industry, as a business, and as a life," he said, In enunciating the formula "Better Farming; Better Business; Better Living" by which agriculture in Ireland is being guided. "By better farming we mean the teaching of the farmer everything that he wants to know in his industry as the United States department of agriculture Is doing here. Any intelligent farmer who really wants tq improve his industry, has here a more complete scheme for
assisting him than in any other coun-i
try in the world. "Better business means teaching farmers to combine. When farmers join together to market some single commodity, they can undoubtedly develop a very great commercial power as has been the case with the citrus growers In California, as well as your elevator combinations and many of your dairying combinations. ' "In Ireland we attach so much importance to the co-operative spirit that
we try to get farmers to organize cooperatively for. every purpose of, their
Industry, always beginning with some very simple transaction, such as buy
ing fertilizer, or perhaps selling their eggs or something of that sort, to try
out the method and get them to un
derstand the principles-involved. We maintain that the co-operative principle is the only sound principle for
farmers combinations as the capital
istic or joint stock system nearly always ends disastrously.
Every year that passes it-becomes
harder to keep young men on the farm.
You have got to brighten country life by making it a really progressive social and intellectual life. This depends mainly upon education, but a fundamental principle is that you don't try
IF RHEUMATIC BEGIN ON SALTS
Says We Must Keep Feet
Dry, Avoid bxposure, Eat No Sweets.
Stay off the damp ground, avoid exposure, keep feet dry, eat no sweets
of any kind for a while, drink lots of
water and above all take a spoonful
of Jad Salts occasionally to help keep
down uric and toxic acids.
Kheumattsm is caused by poison
toxins, called acids, 'which are gen-
crated in tho bowels and absorbed into the- blood. It is the function of the kidneys to filter this acid from the
Mood and cast it out in the urine. The
pores of the skin are also a means of freeing the blood of this impurity. In damp and chilly, cold weather the skin
pores are closed, thus forcing the kid
ncys to do double work; they become
weak and sluggish, and fail to elimin
ate this poison which keeps accumu
lating and circulating through the sys
tem, eventually settling in the joints
nnd muscles, causing stiffness, sore
ness and pain, called rheumatism.
At the first twinge of rheumatism
get from any pharmacy about four
ounces of Jad Salts; put a tablespoon
ful in a glass of water and drink be
fore breakfast cacti morning tor a
week. This is helpful to neutralize acidity, remove body waste also to rtjmulate the kidneys, thus helping to rid the blood of these rheumatic poisons. Jad Salts is inexpensive, and is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with lithia, fnd is used with excellent results by thousands of folks who are subject to rheumatism.

RECEIVER APPOINTED FOR NASH COMPANY
American Trust and Savings bank Tuesday was appointed receiver for the Wayne County Nash Motor Sales
company, following complaint Dy
Lauer J. Froehch, partner In the company with -Walter E. Schott and Roy M. Campbell. Mr. Froelich states that the total value of the assets of the corporation is less than $10,000 and that the liabilities amount to more than $12,000. He also declares that the corporation is now insolvent and is unable to pay its
debts.'
It is alleged by, Mr. Froelich that than one year ago. Harry Gilbert, who
on the National road east, on Monday, drew a large crowd of farmers, in spite of raw weather for standing in the . open. But men out in quest of bargains at sales pay little attention to weather; they are mostly, veterans of outdoor life anyway, and are ready to take the weather as it comes. "The live stock on the bill included seven horses, a span of mules, six cows and 32 hogs. Sixteen of the hogs were sows, both red and black, all bred for February farrowing. The balance of the lot were shoats running 60 to 70 pounds. The feature of the offering, aside from the live stock, was a whole raft of implements and three wagons. The implements were in good condition, in fact in several instances they were, a'g far as use is concerned, prac
tically new, having been bought less

Messrs. Schott and Campbell conspired to exclude him from all participation and interest in the business affairs and
profits of the corporation and that they had concealed some of the books and records and destroyed other parts of records and taken the business into their own hands. That the defendants are in possession of all the assets, property ana business of the corporation, is also alleged by Mr. Froelich in his complaint.
to bring to bring into the country the things of the city. All these things develop so much more rapidly in the city than they can possibly develop" in the country that the more you introduce these things into the country the more you widen the gap in these respects between the country and the city. You must get the country people to realize the inherent interest in the science of agriculture, in plant and animal life try to get them interested in the beauties of the country."
THE DAFLER SALE The Earl Dafler farm sale, held on
the old Smelser farm at the state line,
made the settlements, said that the im
plements brought satisfactory prices and were in demand. In the showing of farm tools were two spreaders, a Keystone hay loader, a culfi-packer with trucks, two John Deere, tandem discs, two McCormick mowers, and so on down the line. Ben Foreman, manager of the Dafler place, said that the sale . netted around $4,700, and "was a good sale." The 700 bushels of corn went at from 71c to 75c and the 600 bushels of oats in the bin brought an average of 50c. The top team of horses sold for $320 and a span of smooth mouth mules "coming nine years old" brought $260. Cows and hogs sold according to value, the hogs bringing better than market prices, both as to breeding sows and feeders. Weddle and Hindman conducted the sale, Harry Patti was field clerk and the Ladies' Aid of the church at Westville served a satisfying lunch.
