TOWN HALL CROWDED
FOR FARM GATHERING

The farmers meeting at Centerville
on Tuesday night seemed very much
like large family gathering. The
town hall overlooked with friends and
neighbors from all parts of the town
ship, and the mothers and children
were much in evidence.
The occasion was the annual meet
ing for the election of officers, to listen
to reports, and next to have a good
time in general. Rev. J. J. Rae, OF
Richmond, was the speaker OF the
evening and was heard with marked
attention President Davis. Of the
Wayne federation, devoted few
minutes to what the federation has
already accomplished, and J. l.. Dolan.

the need of such an organization, and

President Gaar Eliason was re-
elected and James F. Harris, vice
president, and B. c. Gaier, secretary
treasurer, will also continue to hold
office during 1921 Charles Neff and
Ernest IRE mps were The two holdover
directors, and John Medearis, Harry
Smith and Fred Stats, were also
elected to the board. Ice cream and
cake was served in generous portions
and many new members were present
to enjoy the occasion.

Barracks Timbers to Build Homes.
Small patches which were not so
roughly used as the great fields have
drawn a considerable number of the
original inha bitants back to their ma
tive soil. Sometimes an abandoned
railroad carriage, rolled into the field,
provides home for family. In COM
parison with other hOmes-structures
of rough timbers rooted with sections
of corrugated culvert walling- these
carriage homes are palatial. Nearer
the city few feeble attempts to build
have been made. Then, too, the
, abandoned barracks of the soldiery,
most of them of sectional construc-
ton, have provided building material
for new homes.
The pity of it all is that this effort
is so widely at variance with the tradi-
tons of France. The meanest dwell
ings had always been constructed for
permanence, proclaiming to the world
that their possessor loved the earth
that gave him his bread, and that he
was building not a mere house but a
home These battlefield dwellings are
just the reverse-so light and flimsy
they are that heavy storm might de-

The inhabitants get their living to-
day in various ways. Many of them
are engaged in the apparently never

shells that are still perilous. Near the
cemeteries are others who make the

Years After Their Fame Had
Been Assured.

Sophocles, the famous Athenian
dramatist, lived to be ninety. The au-
thor of ajax" is the oldest writer,
and he is unique in his degree of
longevity. The next in point of age is
Thomas Carlyle, the author of "Sartor

ception, undOubted brilliance, and
lofty aspirations. He died Mt the age
of eighty-siX.
Jeremy Bentham, whose disciple
was John Stuart Mill, and who is the
author of works on government, 1.-THE
Principles of Morals and Politics." and
other lucid expositions of the utili-

SWITCH Off!
Put aside the Salts, Oil,

take "Cascarets."

Are you keeping your bowels, liver,

Stop having bowel wash-day. Let
Cascarets gently cleanse and regulate
the stomach, remove the sour and fer
menting food and foul gases, take the
excess bile from the liver and carry
out of the colon and bowels all the
constipated waste matter and poisons
so you can straighten up.

What kind of expression do you wear

RECEIPTS OF DURUM WHEAT
At Seven Primary Markets About SO,
100000 Bushels Were Received

Receipts of durum wheat at seven

they were as high as 100000 bush

bushels in 1918. Exports of this wheat
ranged from about 24.S00,000 bushels

and the exports of the fiscal year 1918
were about 1S,3O0,000 bushels. This

PAY MORE ATTENTION
TO MARKET PROBLEMS
Fact Is Shown by Survey Con-
Quoted by Bureau of Markets.
Model Law Incorporated In Whole by
One State and With Practically
No Changes in Others
Bureaus Established.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture)
That marketing problems are being
given more and more attention by state
Governments is shown by n survey
which the bureau of markets has
been conducting.
Following the example of the fed
oral government, 80 states have estab-
lished bureaus of markets or similar
ogencies to study the buying and sell
ING of farm products. Four state leg
,slotures created such bureaus last
wear. The model law prepared by the
hureau of markets has been adopted
bv one state with practically no
change and has been Incorporated
wholly or in part in the laws of sew
oral other states. In few cases state
departments of agriculture have be-
gun marketing work under authority
of general clauses in their laws.
The activities of the bureaus vary
from simply studying the conditions
affecting marketing, through regula-
tion of marketing practices, to the ac-
tual buying and selling of farm prod
nets. This latter activity, however,
has been discontinued In at least one
state. Most of the bureaus have au-
tbority to establish grades and stand
ards. inspect farm produce. and main
tain market news services.
