MORE MONEY FOR SUGAR BEETs

Sugar manufacturers in this part
of the country have revised their
price to be paid for beets for the
crop CT 1918.
The change was decided upon last
week and consists of raise from $8
and $3.50 per ton, (weight station
and factory delivered) to SO and
$3.50 per ton.
Field agents of the Columbia Su-
gar Company were called into the
factory Office last Saturday and the
new contracts, at increased price, for
acreage delivered to them. This
week they are offering them to farm
ers who have not already signed up,
and are replacing the contracts here
tofore signed at the price decided up
on at the beginning of the season,
with the new ones at the increased
price. All the contracts heretofore
made for this years acreage will be
taken up and new ones placed.
1t seems that war prices are nee
essary everywhere. Probably the
largest feature that had to do with
the raising of the price of beets is
the abnormal price now paid farmers
for all classes Of grain.
However his will probably end the
agitation and contention that has
been in progress on the sugar beet
price subject for this season.-Pauld-
ing Democrat.

AS BAD AS "MADE OUT"

"Is the seed corn situation really
as bad as the papers make out2"-vis
a common question asked by visitors
at the Ohio State University Of late,
where hundreds of tests are being
made. The invariable answer is,
"Yes. One of the greatest dangers
that We face is that the situation may
not be truly realized. Our tests show
unmistabably that seed corn is unus-
ually bad. and that every ear should
be tested" Up to the present time
tests show that five-sixths OF the corn
tested has terminated less than so
per cent and nearly one-half Of 1t
terminated less than 20 per cent.
Farmers that have good seed corn
would do well to advertise It for sale.

LAD
DIES AT CAMP

Charles Adams, a son Of Mr.. and
Mrs. Thomas Adams, of Washington
township, aged 2S, private in Com
pany B. 329th Infantry, died at the
base hospital at Camp Sherman on
Thursday night of last week. He
was taken there with a fractured hip,
but death it was stated, was due
probably to a tubercular abcess.
Private Adams left here last Sept
ember. Previous to his enlistment
he was a bookkeeper in a department
store at Columbus.
One of the sadest features of his
demise, came through q misunder-
standing or what is termed army red
tape. On being informed of their
sons serious illness, Mr.. and Mrs.
Adams and daughter left Thursday
for Camp Sherman, where they arriv-
ed in the evening, but were denied
admission by the guards at the camp,
and told to return and get an order
from the commanding officer in the
Friday morning when they
returned to camp from Chillicothe
they were informed that he had died
during the night.
The remains of the deceased did
not arrive in this city until Sunday
when they were taken to
his late home in Washington town
ship. Funeral services were held at
Erastus, with Rev. Trees in charge,
with interment at Swamp College

Washington, Feb. 27.-Commentlng
on the German imperial chancellor's
speech in the reichstag, officials here
say the address has not changed the
situation.
Instead Of marking an advance to-
ward peace. It is regarded rather as
deliberately calculated to strengthen
the hands Of the German militarist
party by endeavoring to convince the
German proletariat OF the impractlc-
able nature Of President Wilson's
aims as disclosed in his last address
to congress on Feb. II.
While stating his readiness to &C.
cept the presidents four fundamental
principles for a basis Of peace, the
German chancellor dismissed them as
idealistic and unworkable by insist.
ing that they must depend for their
application upon the realization OF
conditions which can not be met In
the official view his treatment Of the
subject was ironical and designed for
very different ends than the advance.

There will be no immediate formal
comment upon this latest contribution

aspirations. Experience has taught

In addition, there was no court Of
arbitration in which Germany could
place her trust, he said. The old ac-
cusation that Great Britain's war
aims are imrerialistic was reiterated
by the chancellor.

FLOUR STANDARD

Ohio returned Sunday 10 the $3.50

State Food Administrator Croxton
Saturday sent notices 10 all retail and
wholesale grocers and county food
administration committees, inform
ing them that effective Sunday wheat
flour may be sold only in combination
with an equal weight of substitutes.
This regulation was announced Or
lgina.ly Immediately after the presi-
dents proclamation OF Jan. 28. Mod

Croxton Feb. because of the unpre-

basis then was permitted.
Because of variety Of substitutes
permitted, Croxton believes that an
adequate supply now is available.

cient substitute fiours, with possibly
rare exceptions. Those of Columbus
and other larger cities in Ohio have
adequate supplies, IL Is said. The

OPINION IMPORTANT
 TO SHAREHOLDERS

Many inquiries have come to the state bureau of mines as to the re- suits of failure to file application of notice to hold mining claims under Public Resolution NO. Iz before the required date, December 31, as many notices were filed at later date
 Thru the courtesy of the Honor able Carl Hayden, the following opin- ion has been given by Clay Tallman, commission of the General Land Of flee at Washington, that it would seem that the failure to file notice of inten- ton to hold a mining claim on or be- fore December 31, 1917 in no way af- fected the possessory title unless the said claims were relocated between that date and the actual date of fil- ing.
 For instance, if man failed to file until January 10, and his claim were not relocated between December 31

SOME OF THE REASONS
 FOR HIGH COST OF LIVING

The level of prices paid producers of the United States for the principal crops increased about 4.5 per cent dur ing December. On January 1, 1918, the index figure of prices was about 43.S per cent higher than year ago, 1O4.7 per cent higher than two years ago, and 1921 per cent higher than the average of the last ten years on January 1.
