PURE BRED HOG SALE
ATTRACTS BREEDERS
SEEKING fine Swine

A bunch of the best Chester White
hogs in Indiana were shown in the
sale ring at Clyde Leverton's sale,
near Milton, on Friday. 1t was a cata-
logue sale, and breeders We're present
from various parts of Ohio and Indiana
to select from the offerings. The
weather was most inviting and many
Wayne and Union farmers were pres
ent, several of them with their wives
and families.
The first hog shown, number % in
the catalogue. was one of the Wayne
pig club exhibits, which was also
shown at the state fair, where it cap,
tured second in its class. This gilt,
farrowed March l of this year, has al
ready taken three ribbons and $3.50
in money prizes at shows. She was
bred on the Leverton place and ex-
hibited in the local pig club.
Gilt Sells For s1o5.
In opening the sale the auctioneer
cited present conditions and outlook
for hogs, which he said We're most en-
couraging to breeders, and the sale
was on. The bidding was spirited on
the first offering and she was awarded
to D. c. Gamble, of Greenville, Ohio,
at S105. Mr.. Gamble is a breeder, and
paid the high dollar of the SALE
Among the buyers who added to
their herds during the afternoon,
were: Earl Frost, of Greenfield; Jess
Daugherty, of Williamsburg: William
Sparks, Vern De Hayes, Frank Bee
son. Orth Williams, James Shank, of
Boston township; S. L. Rhodes, of Yer
sailles, O.; James Murphy, and several
others. No very fancy prices were
realized but several of the offerings
brought fair figures. 1t was noted
that the women were apparently all
interested in hogs. At least they all
inspected and admired them after
lunch, before the sale opened. and
many marked their catalogs during
the sale.
Colonel Walker Officiates.
Colonel H. T. Walker of Montpelier,
Ind, was the auctioneer, and he was
assisted by Simon Weddle, in the ring.
M. F. Steffanson, cashier of the bank
at Pershing, made the settlements. A
tempting lunch preceded the sale
served by the Ladies' Cemetery asso-
citation of the Franklin church. Nearly
all the members were present to
serve.

SURPLUS CANADIAN
WHEAT SENDS DOWN
PRICE IN AMERICA

CHICAGO, Oct. 9.-Sudplus wheat in
Canada duty free, 2OO,000,OO0 bushel
OF 1t pressing for an outlet before
winter, has nearly demoralized the
grain trade here this week. Com
pared with week ago, wheat this
morning was down 16c to 1870 corn
off csc to 151ac, and oats, 171s to
2kc. Net changes in the provisions
list ranged from $1.40 decline to 75c
advance.
Only the reluctance of Canadian
railroads to permit their cars to come
across the border into the United
States has appeared to stand in the
way of floods of wheat from the
north unless an embargo was ordered
from Washington.
A call from the governor of Kansas
than such an order be made, led to
one vigorous rally in prices, but later
the downward swing was resumed, for
European buying In the United States
seemed largely to have come to a halt
and one of the biggest -four mills in
st. Louis was reported as having
closed down, owing to lack of orders
Opinions differed widely meanwhile as
to the extent to which domestic pro-
ducers were finding it practicable to
maintain a holding policy and to await
a chance of greater returns. Corn and
oats weakened with wheat.

INDIANA CORN CROP SHOWS INCREASE;
YIELD OF OATS BREAKS ALL RECORDS

The outstanding features OF the
monthly report OF the cooperative
crop reporting service for Indiana, is
sued today, is another increase in the
forecast for corn production of ap-
proximately 100000 bushels over the
September report, and the yield of
cats per acre, which Is the highest for
many years, Al bushels. Practically
all other crops show an increase in
production over the September fore
cast. The report follows:
Weather conditions during Septem-
ber were almost ideal for finishing
and maturing the corn corp and an in
crease Of points is shown over last
months condition figure which brings
it to SO per cent of normal. This
figure indicates total production Of
.192,405,000 bushels, compared with
1S4, 100000 bushels last month and
It's, 900 bushels last year.
Danger Almost Over.
With continued favorable weather
until Oct. Is, practically all the corn
will be out of the way of frost damage,
although the heavy frost on the morn
ing of Oct. End injured some fields.
Considerable of the crop has been out
and silo filling is general in all Sec
tions of the state. Corn is down
badly in some localities and is inter
fering with wheat and rye seeding to
some extent.
Now is a good time for the selection
Of seed corn and farmers should give
this matter immediate attention.
The average yield of spring wheat
was bushels higher than for winter
wheat and indicates a total produc-
ton of $4,000 bushels, compared with
$4,000 bushels shown for September,
and 22s,O0o bushels for last year.
Sixty per cent of the wheat produced
in the state was marketed by Oct. /.
ON this basis Indiana farmers have
suffered loss of approximately ST.
100000 since the crop movement
started the latter part of July.
Oats Crop Good.
The average yield of oats per acre
was Al bushels, the highest for many
years, and a total production of 49,
$4,000 bushels is indicated, compared
with 75.076, 900 bushels last month and
69,471,000 bushels last year. General.
ly the quality is exceptionally good,
especially is this true of the early
sown crop.
White potatoes made gains in some
sections, but lost in others, with the
crop good in some places and poor in
others. The condition Oct 1 was 81
per cent Of normal, and indicates a
total production of S,602,000 bushels,
compared with S,3s3,00O bushels last
month, and 100000 bushels last year
The condition of clover seed is very
spotted. Mammouth and Big English
varieties being much better than the
others. The condition October l was
80 per cent of normal and indicates a
total production of 174,O00 bushels
compared with $4,000 bushels last
year.
The apple condition improved in the
north part of the state, and storms
did some damage in the south part

Prisoners From Wayne
Are Refused Clemenc,

Three cases from Wayne county
came before the board of pardons at
their meeting at Indianapolis this
week. All were among those in which

Thrawley, sentenced in 1898, for life,
for murder; Andrew Max, sentenced
in 1915, for life, for murder; Ross
Miller, sentenced in 1918, two to 2l
years, for incest.
OF 40 petitions for clemency heard
by the state board during the Septem.
ber meeting, parole was recommended
in IL cases. Communication in six; final
discharge in one case, and clemency
was refused in 81. Thirty-four cases
were continued until the next meeting.

The Farm and Farmer
BY WILLIAM r. sANRoRN =

Some farmers are bit superstitious
as to Friday or the 18th, as to sale
dates, but these are few in number.
Several sales were held on Friday OF
this week, two of them being regis
tered hog sales. Clyde Leverton, OF
Milton, put on his Chester White hog
sale and w. A. Cortner and Sons, of
Greensboro, their sale of Duroc-Jer-
seys, on Friday, and discovered that
they had picked an ideal day to bring
out crowd, and that because Of that
fact more than half the cars arriving
brought women and children.
A 30-mile drive on Friday convinced
us that it will take another week to
complete the sowing of wheat in this
section. We noted several instances
where the seed drills were following
the corn binders, and only a lap or
two behind them. Whisking by corn
fields one could often see bags OF
wheat along the fences, where the
farmer was at work in the field with
his single drill.
! James Shank, living southeast on
the Boston pike, said on Friday, that
he had quit sowing wheat for the day
in order to attend the Leverton
Chester White sale, where he picked
out couple of good ones. "A day OF
SO earlier or later doesn't matter now
as to sowing wheat" he said, but
today is the day of the sale" There
are others in Boston township who
are not through sowing.
o. X. at Pershing
M. F. Steffanson, cashier of the
Jackson township bank, at Pershing
says the bank has been doing a good
business, that deposits are holding up
! and that they have been able to &C
commodate all their customers calling
| for loans. He states that considerable
grain has been handled at Pershins
this year, and a great deal of other
business transacted by the Pershing
elevator folks. Frank Mckee, in
| they kept closely sold up and that the
decline did not catch them with big
unsold stocks"
Greatest Corn Year
Vern Davis, living northwest oi
Cambridge City says this has been the
greatest fall for ripening corn in al
his recollection. Recent light frosts
have done good instead of injury, ant
that we have escaped a rain, followed
by freeze earlier in the season, is
most fortunate. Mr.. Davis is a friend
of the black hog" and has sixty head
on feed.
Better Hog Market
According to Rice Brothers, commits
sion men. at the Chicago yards, "the
outlook for hog raisers is splendid
| With the great shortage in hogs al
! this time, a great corn crop and 75c
corn, hog raising should pay we'll.
This was the substance of a telegram
read by an auctioneer, at a hog sale
on Friday.

The Japanese Problem

Developments in Japan and the attitude OF
Americans residing on the west coast have again
brought the Asiastc race question sharply to the
foreground.
The Pacific coast states persistently demand
the exclusion of the Japanese, the denial of
citizenship and other rights to children of orient
ais born in this country. Virtually all the white
residents of the Pacific slope opposed to Jap
anese immigration and to the holding of land
under any legal arrangement.
Victor S. Yarros, writing for the Chicago
News, after studying the situation in California,
Washington and Oregon for ten months, pre-
sents the stand of their citizenship in the follow
ing cogent manner:
What are given for this attitude?
Some them economic, some moral and some
patriotic and prudential. The economic argument may
be summed up follows:
1t is impossible for native Americans or assmilated
foreign whites compete japanese. Whether they

THOUGHTS ON SCIENCE AND

The recent failure of an eminent

I was quite smoked up over that
rocket idea and even went so far as
to think up several persons whom l
would have liked to send to Mars in

THE FAT SUFFERER
By WALT MASON

The fat man sickens and like the
dickens his tortured system feels; he
has the glanders and yaller janders
and gout in both his heels. When con
valescent, his woes senescent, he'd
like to tell the tale of ailments gaudy
that racked his body, and make his
hearers pale. He'd fain be spelling,
mis- blood congealing pain epic by the
week: but none will listen. no tear
drops glisten on sympathetic cheek
And when he pauses, for any causes,
he hears some horse-laugh sounds; his
yarn seems yellow, for he's a fellow
who weighs two hundred pounds. He
may have verses from docs and nurses
to prove diseases three; 1t doesn't
matter-the man Is fatter than sick
