 nual Reports.

The work of the Bridgeport Pro- tective Association for the year 1919
 as 1t was presented at the annual
 meeting held last night at the head quearters, 754 Myrtle avenue, was
 most interesting to those who heard it.
 The financial report showed the funds gathered in the campaign at the beginning of the year were in- sufficient to meet the ever-tncreasing g demands made upon this organiza-
 ton. therefore on Oct. IS "tag day. was held, the receipts of which car
 ried us to the line and a little over. The house committees report showed that there had been served at headquarters during the year S,S22
 meals, and 2.5ss lodgings given. The cost per capita per meal is p 2-10 cents per meal. The case committee reported a de-
 crease in ages in the number of those applying at the house for food and
 shelter. seventy-three per cent. of
 them have been under 21 years of age.
 Sources of derivation the same as in former years. Of those received nearly 50 per cent. have been sent
 
 permanent institutional care, medical care for some, and a very gratifying portion are now self-supporting. The shelter and aid received at headouarters is a lasting memory to those who have passed through its 1 doors.

PELKY WANTS
 BOYS TAUGHT
 HOW TO FIGHT

Detroit, Jan. 14. Arthur Pelky, who shared some of the publicity ac- corded to the flock of white hopes that fitted over the horizon in the days before the fall of Jack Johnson, and whose chief claim now as a Queensberry exponent lies in the fact that he was opponent Of Luther Mccarthy when the latter died fol- lowing the contest out at Calgary, AL berta, a few years ago. has settled down in the little town of Ford, On tario, just across the river from De- troit, and is a respectable member of society.
 Pelky is now known as the heavy weight champion of Canada, though he is no longer mentioned as an as- pirant to United States, say nothing of world honors.
 A reporter approached him yester- day, to inquire in casual way con corning MT. Pelky's ideas on modern education and the needs of properly training the youth of the generation, for, be it known, MT, Pelky has just been elected a member of the board of education in his home town.
 He has some ideas. Take for in stance, the question of ears. You notice MT. Pelky's ears. Most prize fighters are the same way-scram- bled, wandering sort of ears that seem to have started to spread out In various directions without ever aim ing for any destination in particular.
 The ear,'' says MT. Pelky, lis not a handle It should not be used as grip to steer a backward or re- calcitrant child about a. room. Some folks, it seems, think that the ear is 10 an automobile.
 This barbaric custom" said Mir Pelky. 'has got to be abolished"
 MT. Pelky was erecting a boxing platform in his new gymnasium in Ford. He had hammer in his hand.
 He said he wanted to introduce gymnastics and boxing into the cur rfculum of Canadian schools. This kind of training, he said, would give the boys a discipline that would ob- viate the necessity of warping the youthful ear out of it's normal shape.
 School Trustee Pelky does not fla Vor professional boxing. This is not because of the outcome of any of his battles, but as moral issue, he says.
 "Ninety-nine per cent. of the pro- fessional fighters wind up in the poorhouse," said the trustee. "I want to show my constituency by this gym nasium I have built that boxing and gymnastics will keep the boys at home, away from the bright lights of the big towns

Metal Saws.

Not long ago the discovery was
made that metals could be sawed
easier and quicker with rapidly re-
volving smooth discs Of steel than
with toothcd circular saws. 1t was
found that the cutting was done by
the heat generated by the friction of
the edge of the disc against the
metal says Popular Science Monthly
The metal is melted at the point Of
contact, while the steel of the disc
being cooled by the air, does not reach
the melting point. The discs need no
sharpening and do not wear out 80
quickly ms the toothed saws hereto
fore used for cutting metal. The IA"
tor the disc revolves tllr greater the
amount of heat gerer' J, and thr
quicker the job.

ninety per cent of all sickness comes

DR.. Edwards, a well-known physician
in Ohio, perfected a vegetable COM

the liver and bowels, which he gave to
his patients for years.

Arbor Day in Indiana

Arbor day has a special significance for Ind
lana where the State Conservation commission
has been making valiant fight not only to pre-
serve many of the scenic spots of the common
wealth for the of the public, but also to edu-
cate the people to the value of trees.
Recently it asked that the highways of Ind
lana be lined with trees to afford shade for mot
orists and travellers and to supplement the trees
that annually are being used by our industries
1t is estimated that 1000 wood-using industries
in Indiana, Illinois and Ohio depend upon trees
for their prosperity.

OATS WORTH DOLLAR
| ON CHICAGO MARKET;
IS THE HIGHEST EVER
Ely WILLIAM r. SANHORN.

Cash oats sold at the record price
of 81 per bushel on the sample tables
of the Chicago board last Thursday,
making a new high, this being the
first time in the history of the board
that car of any kind of oats ever
brought an even dollar per bushel in
that market
At the same time Ne. yellow corn
sold as high as $1.64, with the May
option selling above $1.59 and July
delivery at $1.52h. The close of the
market showed loss OF over cents
per bushel. At the week end May
corn had broken back to s1.52a, but
advanced cecnts from the low on
Saturday, to $1.55a at the close. in a
pure gambling deal. 1t is worth not
ing, too that No. 1 white oats sold
at 95 cents for top in the cash mar
ket on Saturday.
Chicago is the highest corn and oats
market in the west; stocks in eleva-
tors are light; cars are scarce and
country roads so muddy that Illinois
farmers can't deliver the corn already
sold to the country elevators.
Over a Billion on Farms.
Recent government reports showed
more than a billion OF corn on the
farms on March 1, or about 238, 100000
bushels more than on the same date
last year. The market editors are
agreed that there is actually sur
plus of corn here, and that Argentina
will have 20O,000,O00 to export, and at
| considerably lower than our prices, so
that the export demand will likely be
insignificant. Then why pay these
high prices? Well, the crop isn't well
distributed and there is a shortage
at speculative centers and they are
playing ball with what they have on
hand.
Hogs Firm and Higher.
/ When a dozen loads of hogs sold
at SIG on Wednesday at Chicago, they
struck the highest mark since early
in last October. They didn't stop
there, however, but reached a top of
$500 on Thursday, oh 30 cents above
| the previous high for the year. The
top on Saturday was also $500. The
weeks receipts were heavy at 163, 200,
and the average weight at 1856 to 200
pounds brought the top prices all
week Cattle ruled steady at about
prices ofprevious week; the same was
true of sheep, but lambs were off 80
cents at $19.15 for top.
Indianapolis Market.
The highest price paid for car OF
hogs at indianapolis in March was
S16.65 on last Saturday; the highest
truck load brought S16.75 on three
different days last week. Steers made
a top of S13 on March I; a top of $14
on March 10 and top of $14.50 on
last Saturday.
Choice lambs sold up to $3.50 on
March 10, but there was nothing on
offer last Saturday to invite better
than a SIT bid. A few fancy calves
sold at $2150 at the week end, against
$22 on Friday.

hood. About $7OO,OOO,OOO is invested in these
It is apparent at glance that the
value of our few forests is almost incompre-
hensible, and that it is incumbent upon us to
plant trees to take the place of the ones that
annually are being converted into commodities
There many acres of land along the
creeks and on some of the hill tops of Wayne
county that are not titled. They could well be
planted to trees especially of the kind that are
used in the industries. The conservation of our
forests is an important question not only for the
nation but also for every political unit of Indiana
Arbor day presents a fine opportunity to per-
form patriotic service. Every tree planted in
1920 will in future years be of value and service
to the nation.
Once we looked upon our splendid forests as
handicaps in our agricultural development They
had to give way to the acres-of corn and wheat
upon which our national prosperity depends But
we were reckless in our process of determination
We were not farsighted in conserving wood lots
for the future. We may still remedy our early
mistake by planting trees now.

Farm Federation

All the plans have been completed
for a cooperative live stock reporting
service by the Indiana Federation of
Farmers associations working in con-
junction with the United States de-
partment of agriculture, which, if sue
cessful, will be a great aid in the
marketing of live stock in this state
and tend to steady the market along
with a more even supply from day
to day.
The project calls for a listing of
all cattle, swine and sheep from each
township in the state along with data
showing the number being used for
brood purposes, the approximate date
the stock will be ready for the market
and other information calculated to
give the reporting service an exact
line on the available supply.
In addition to tables which will be
sent to the various county units OF
the Indiana Federation of Farmers
associations, and turned over to the
township units every three months to
be filled out, a 10 day service is to
be tabulated at the headquarters of
the farmers in this city.
Lewis Taylor, general secretary
said that the quarterly reports will
show when the stock will be ready
for the slaughter houses and that the
farmers will be advised from time to
time concerning conditions, so that
they can keep an even flow of live
stock on the market and thereby dc
much in the way of obtaining steady
prices.
"A meeting in every township OF
the state has been called for March
81" said Mr.. Taylor, land at that
time the farmers will be called upon
to fill out the blanks we have pre-
pared"
