SUGGESTS DAY SET ASIDE FOR RETURN OF BOOKS The following suggestion has been made by a reader: "Dear Editor: I have wondered for some time if we could not have a day set aside for the returning of borrowed books. I do not think anyone, in keeping a book, intends to steal it, yet what else is it? I have a number of books which I prize very highly, and cannot afford to replace. I loaned these books to different parties. Two parties have each, had a book for over a year and I dislike to ask them to return them. I should be very glad indeed to have them back." ,

Mrs. Jotin Brandies, wire of a wealthy young resident of Oeiaha, seen here, will accompany her husband on a hunting expedition into the dark continent. They expect to enter British East Africa about June 1 and will travel at once to Nairobi, where they will strike the trail taken by Theodore Roosevelt on his famous hunting trip.

many of whom are now left in Wayne county, as compared to other days. The Lester C. Davis and George M. Sowers sale .was for dissolution of partnership, and was held on the Sowers farm. Both principals agree in the statement that it was a profitable sale and that more money was realized than anticipated. They admit, however, that thew expected to have seen the hay go at better prices. The

bill set forth that there were 20 tons of clover and 10 tons of timothy in the mows and both kinds sold on about the same basis, or fiom $7.50 to $9.50 a ton. It isn't every day that one sees 25 head of cattle go under the hammer at a farm sale, as happened in this instance. There were a few registered and eligible milking Shorthorns in the group, also one Jersey and Shorthorn grade. The latter brought $80, which was the high in the cattle ring. Ten summer and fall calves went to various bidders. Hogs were in fair demand and brought better than market prices, sows selling up to $36 for good ones. The Poppaw Sale A Mr. Mills, who attended the Herschell Poppaw sale on the J. M. Burt farm at the western edge of Whitewater on the 25th, picked out three of the farm houses at $116 to $151 each. E. C. Burkhart got the last of the four in the sale for exactly $100. Three cows and a. good young bull were quickly disposed of, Adam Rein-

The rarm and The Farmer By William R. Sanborn

THREE FARM SALES "Not a very large crowd but a good bunch of buyers," was the way in which Cashier William Thomas Steers cf the bank at Greensfork, spoke of the attendance at the Davis-Sowers

salo, just north of Hagerstown, on the twenty-fifth. Mr. Steers made the settlements and gives the total receipts at $3,030. He further records 'the fact that a part of the 700 bushels of corn brought 81 cents a bushel, which is the top figure paid for corn at any of our farm sales in a long time.. It is a fact, however, that the farmers are paying more for corn at sales than it can be sold for delivered in Richmond or at country elevators, in spite of the fact that they have to load it. and haul it home. One feature of the sale was that of 25 head of Shropshire ewes. They were admittedly good one, and 'brought higher prices than has been usual at such sales. For example, one ewe with lamb at side, brought $14.50: the balance sold at from $11.50 to $13.50, in the main. This is encouraring to sheepmen, not a great

by getting No. 2 at

$72. while Ezra Thompson fancied No. 3 at an expense of $62. Warren Timmons got. a likely young bull, a coming two-year-old, for $49. At this sale J. M. Burt bought two good gilts at. $25 each. Clyde Chatham paid $36 for one bred sow and the same figure for a sow with a small bunch of pigs. Oscar White paid $104 for a pen of eight feeders. Warren Timmons settled for seven gilts at $14.25 and for eight more at $14.50 per head. F. E. McMinn, of the Dickinson Trust company, made the settlements.

Sold 2,500 Bushels of Corn

The feature at the George Schaef-

fer and Scott Lewis sale, on the old Jordan Wolf farm, south of Centerville, was the quantity of corn dis

posed of. The sale bill announced that there were 2,500 bushels in the

crib a liberal supply at any sale. Harry Gilbert, of the Second National bank, who made the settlements, said there was active bidding, though not at recent top prices, the lot going to numerous buyers at from 68 to 71 cents. Mr. Gilbert gives the net of the sale at $2 900. Four horses, three cows and 43 hogs embraced the live stock sold. On these fair prices were realized, notably so as to the hogs. Some St. Louis folks suggested that cows and pigs should he shown at the municipal zoo, "because many school children have never seen either," as was claimed, and this resulted in a

census or poll of a number of sixth grade classes. Well, the poll sliow,ed that of 5,376 children in that grade 40 per cent never saw a sheep; 17 per cent never have seen a ptg, and 12 per cent never saw a cow. It is evident that a nice motherly brood sow with a flock at her heels, would draw a crowd of children at the St. Louis zoo, and that a gentle iJersey with a calf at side would be a real joy to a lot of youngsters next spring. Doings in Darke The farm bureau office at Greenville, Darke county, Ohio, has been moved from the Weaver building to

tne second story of the Farmers' National bank building, fronting the square. The farm bureau announces a membership campaign in February, and states that all old members will be given until the 15th cf the month to pay up, after which they will be marked delinquent and will be visited by a committee. The secretary remarks that "The farm bureau is a business organization and intends to apply business principles to all its activities, including the collection of dues."

take a vote on the proposition at the fall election. A North Dakota paper states that 13 counties voted on the retention of the county agent with the result that the agents won in eight counties and lost out in five counties. In three counties where the vote went

against the agent the majority was less than 100. The biggest majority for the agent was 2.000 in Burloigh county and the biggest against the agent was in Sergeant, where the majority was a little less than 1,000. 4 President Harding's nomination of Milo D. Campbell of Michigan, as the "dirt farmer" member of the federal reserve board was confirmed - by the

senate on Thursday. A Day of .Lower Prices The review of the Thursday livestock market appearing in the Chicago Tribune Friday could not bo other than distressing to feeders and shippers. This is the way it read: "Practically 100,000 head of all

kinds of live stock arrived yesterday,

eausinz a general decline in values.

Receipts of hogs totaled 60,000 and

prices dropped 1525c, the average price going below the $8.00 mark, standing as low as any day in two

months at $7.95, with the practical top at $8.25, although a lot of fancy 143lb. shippers reached $8.30. Closing trade was dull with close to 20,000 left in the pens and 40,000 expected today. "There was a slump of mostly 25c in yesterday's cattle prices, due to liberal outside, offerings and more indifferent local and outside orders. Heavy steers were more plentiful and best weighty offerings went at $11.00, with 1,008-lb. yearlings at $10.75 and bulk beef steers' at $7.5010.00, being fully 50c lower than Tuesday. Butcher stock closed weak and veal calves 25 50c lower. Feeding steers declined 15(S25c." The writer follows with a compari

son of receipts for the day, for one week earlier, and for some date in 1922. He says:- "Seven western markets received 38,000 cattle, 144,000 hogs, and 47.000 sheep, against 32.000 cattle, 99.000 hogs and 45,000 sheep the previous Thursday, and 29,000 cattle 116.000 hogs, and 31,000 sheep a

year ago." For a State Police Prairie Farmer's straw vote shows that Illinois farmers are in favor of a state police system by about two to one. Senator Dunlap could easily amend his bill so as to make the vote unanimous. The way to do it would be to cut the automobile investigators, game wardens and fire marshals off the payroll and turn their duties over to the state police. This would save about $300,000 a year to apply on the cost of the state police. The rest of the cost could be saved by cutting down appropriations for the state militia, which will find many of its duties taken over by the state police. The way to make a state police system popular with farmers is to pay for it by cutting down expenses somewhere else, says the editor.

He is the owner of two large loose leaf tobacco warehouses.

U. S. POSTAL SAVINGS

DEPOSITS DECREASE Postal savings deposits have decreased throughout the country, principally because of the small rata of interest paid, according to a report received at the local postoffice from Hubert Worn, postmaster general. The present interest rate is two per cent, while persons with funds

to deposit can get three per cent on i

savings at banks, and four and onequarter per cent on government savings certificates. It is- said that the principal postal

savings depositors are to be found

among the foreign elements in all i cities. While in many cases there are a large number of depositors, the funds deposited by each average very little. Deposits in the Richmond office on June 30, 1922. the end of the fiscal period covered by the government report, showed that Richmond had 31

depositors with a total of $7,473 deposited. Under a bill just reported to the house by the postoffice committee, the interest rate which the government pays would be increased from two to three per cent. Also the maximum amount which any individual depositor could have to his credit would be

increased from $2,500 to $3,000.

Here is Value

Because the same high grade workmanship and selected materials are used in this inexpensive "Home" pattern as is found in all Macey Sectional Bookcases, we heartily recommend it as a true value. Lack of pronounced pattern makes it particularly suited to varied

surroundings. Like all simple straight line designs, it is something of which one never tires. An ingenious door mechanism prevents binding. It is unquestionably the most inexpensive quality Bookcase on the market. Come in and fee it on our floor or a representative will call on request.
