SCHOOL TEACHER SERIOUSLY
CUT AT FOCH

A serious cutting affair occurred
last Monday at Foch. Just about the
time Prof. Bullock and other teach
ers were starting to Snyder to at
tend the Institute and a number oil
men were assembled in the vicinity
of the drug store in general conver-
sation. II is said j. l.. Vineyard a
citizen assaulted Prof. Bullock with
a knife and inflicted a serious cut
IN the neck. The wounded man was
hastily taken into the drug store for
treatment and j. l.. Vineyard came to
Snyder and was put under a $500
bond.
II is understood that Mr.. Vineyard
is or has seen trustee of the Herm-
leigh school, and that he and Mr.
Bullock had some school trouble last
year and 1t is supposed that the old
trouble was the cause of this new
out break.

GET RID OF THE GRADE SIRE
A PURE BRED Bull Should Be On
Every Farm

The farmers in many of the coun-
ties of the state are making great
strides in Graduating the scrub bull
from their counties. Some of these
farmers are coming to Vernon county
to purchase their sires. DIR. Christen-
sen sold a Guernsey bull to Mr.. Ras-
mussen of Oshkosh and several farm
ers from Crawford county expect to
buy bulls of him also. Mr. Gus Knick
of Hillsboro sold his Holstein herd
sire for $3.50 to q man near LaValle.
after having offered him to Vernon
county farmers for $3.50.
More instances like the above
might be mentioned, but let us take
warning from these facts and rot al
low outsiders to come in and take first
choice. We want first choice to stay
here at home. There is a rumor al
ready that there will be a shortage of
pure bred bulls, and it behooves the
farmers of Vernon county not to suf-
fer such shortage.
Read your agricultural papers and
see for yourself what other counties
are DOING. A cattle census of Vernon
county is about to be taken for the
benefit of the farmers. Monroe coun-
ty just north of us has 80 per cent of
its bulls on the pure bred class.
wonder if Vernon county can show up
better than that.
have pure bred bulls of all ages
listed and they range from 500 up IN
price. About one half dozen pure
bred breeders have offered to exchange
even up a pure bred bull calf for a
scrub sire. That is a bargain for any
farmer who is lucky enough to get
there first.
We also need to be getting our seed
checked up. How is the clover seed
situation on your farm? The price
on medium red clover seed ranges
from S25 to $28 per bushel. Mann
moth and Alike are somewhat cheap
er this year anS they also give good
yields.
Clark county farmers are going to
SOW several tbou,and acres of Soy
beans this year. If the farmers of
Clark county can profit by sowing
Soy beans in such large amounts, Eer-
non county farmers might also pro-
fit from such a promising crop. Sew
eral Vernon county farmers have en-
joyed profits from the Soy beans they
have sown. Why cannot more share
such profit by sowing at least a small
plot of them. P. H. GRAF,

Getting Rid of Colds

The easiest and quickest way to get
rid of a cold is TO take Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy. This preparation has
been in use for many years and its
value fully proven. No matter what
remedy you use, however, care must
be taken not to contract a second cold
before you have recovered from the
first one, and there is serious danger
of this. A man of middle age or older
should go to bed and stay in bed until
fully recovered. 1t is better to stay in
bed three days at the start than three
weeks later on.

SELLING IS RENEWED
AND WEAK EXCHANGE
SENDS COTTONDOW
General List Closed Steady
at a Net Decline of 3 to
20 Points Under Close
of Thursday

New York, December ia renewal of
selling on yesterdays Unexpectedly large
crop figures was stimulated by the con-
tfnued weakness of foreign exchange and
reports of higher money rates in the
cotton market today. January was par
ticulariy weak, breaking to 34.o2c or 1870
points from yesterdays closing quota
ton and more than 3i5c per pound from
the high level of last Monday. Cover
ing cuased rallies later with January
closing at s4.76c, and with the general
list closing steady at net decline of
3 to 70. points.
The market opened firm at a decline
of IL points on December, but generally
II to 55 points higher in response to
relatively firm cables and covering by
some of Yesterdays sellers People VIII o
had carried long contracts over the break
of the previous day seemed to be trying
to liquidate on this early bulge, hoe-
ever, and the market then turned easier,
with January liquidation becoming par
ticularly active and excited during the
early afternoon. This was accompanied
by reports of easier spots in the south
colored by the weakness sof the New
southern selling as well as heavy local
and Wall street liquidation.
December was relatively quiet, but
broke 105 points from last nights close,
while March sold off to 81 .S4c and May
to So.50c, or 50 to III points net lower.
There appeared. to be trade buying or
ders around theIring in considerable vol
ume at 305oc for May, however, and
last prices showed rallies of about IS to
"A points from the lowest. Part of the
late demand was attributed to trade
calling, and the market was more sem
sitive to buying orders after the heavy
liquidation of the early afternoon.

Oats finished nc off to gain OF a shade,
In provisions the outcome varied from SC

Corn underwent at first a decided set
back, chiefly as result of sympathy
with the New York stock market weak
ness. In addition the continued record
breaking tumble of foreign exchange
rates tended TO increase bearish senti-
ment, and so likewise did liberal receipts
OF corn. Selling, though, was overdone,
and in view of the fact that the govern

the close of trading operations here the
majority of dealers found themselves in

New Orleans Cotton


New York, December 12.-Severe SELL
ing pressure was felt by cotton today
and prices broke for net declines of
about $3.50 a bale on the weakest
months. Offerings were encouraged by
the renewed weakness of sterling ex-
change, higher call money rates, the
higher interest and rediscount rates
announced by the federal reserve board
and by a gloomy view of the general
international financial situation. To-
ward the end of the day there was gem
eral realizing among shorts, which
brought about partial recoveries, so
that the close showed net declines for
the session of but 43 to rs points.
The-opening was higher, but rise
of 10 to &c points selling was met and
the market fell off to net decline of
7 points.
Shorts covered to realize profits and
put values back up again, this q lime for
gains of 20 to Sc points over yester-
days close, but here the weakness in
foreign exchange made itself felt and
longperiod of heavy selling followed
during which prices we're carried los
to 140 points under the finals of yes
terday.
There was much straddle trading dur
ing the day, which was responsible for
very irregular fluctuations, the distant
months being stronger than the near
