The Farm and The Farmer
CLAUDE KITTERMAN, president Of
BY WILLIAM a. sANeoRN

CLAUDE KITTERMAN, president OF
the First National. Cambridge City
More than the ordinary number of
farms changed hands in this section in
1919, in our opinion, though can not
give the number off hand. Prices are
firm, and higher than in August, when
there was tendency to sag. Know
of no recent transfers, but may have
been some, OF course. Quiet time Just
now, SO close to March /, when pos
session will be given and new tenants
located. Hogs are moving about as
usual and think there are many still
in the country. The slump in hogs
rather took the edge off for young men
formerly anxious to rent farms and
that not SO many are trying to obtain
farms just now, is the consensus of
opinion. Don't know of any farmers
planning to reduce output of hogs,
though some doubtless will.
J. K. SMITH, president OF the Wayne
Trust Company, Cambridge City-Our
manufacturers are all busy and the
retail trade is up to February ex-
pectations. AS to hogs on the farms
suppose there are about the usual mum.
Der although there have been many
marketed within month. Believe that
most of our folks who are in the bust
ness will raise hogs as usual, though
! some have sold out brood sows pretty
closely. Don't think that our farmers
Will reduce crops only as compelled to
for inability to plant as much as usual
for lack of help. Hardly expect as
many changes in tenants as usual on
March /, but there will be a number,
Of course.
Outlook at Winchester.
Winchester, county seat of Randolph
, county, is not only quite live stock
and shipping center, but is also a good
market town. There are four banks,
all of which report an active demand
for money just now, and the leading
retailer reports better business so far
this year than in 1919.
]. f. HINSHAW, secretary-treasurer
Peoples Loan & Trust, Winchester
Several farms changed hands here dur
ing the fall and winter and we think
there are 10 or more transfers to GO
on record March 1. The tendency is
to hold land values firm and recent
purchasers wouldn't think of selling
except at higher prices. AS to spring
planting many will cultivate smaller
acreage and increase their pastures
Tor lack or help. Farm hands ask $5C
and I'D with board, or house and usual
| perquisites, which some farmers feel
| they can not afford. Others will pay
the price if they can get the men.
A. f. FARQUHAR, cashier of Citi
ems National, Winchester-Quite a
number of farms have been sold
throughout this section. but the move
ment is rather quiet just now. with
nrSo hn1d
dict lower level later, on account OF
drop in price of hogs and cattle. Farm
lands increased greatly in value dur.
ing the war period. We know of one
farm which sold at $50 about years
ago which brought 5000 per acre last
summer. Business is flourishing and
money in active demand. We have a
good stock yards and Winchester is
a good, hog, cattle and horse market
Shipments of hogs and cattle are
made daily.

CAREY OUT; EARLHAM
FACES BUTLER; HALL
MAY PLAY Center

Herb Carey will not be able to make
the trip to Indianapolis Friday to play
Butler, said Coach Move, of Earlham.
Thursday morning. Carey has been
confined to the Earlham hospital with
a severe attack of tonsilitis and the
doctor forbade his playing.
The absence of the lanky center
will not interfere with the working
order of the Quaker machine as Hall
will probably be shifted to center and
Goar at forward.
Coach Move is in doubt as to the
result as to the Butler game. The
Indianapolis team always plays its
best against Earlham and has also
shown class in recent battles.
Move has not given up trying to
land one more game to be played in
Richmond. His latest attempt is an
offer to DePauw to play here on
March II. No word has been received
from the Tiger camp. however.
Six Players, Only, Get Letters
Because of the late ruling on letter
awards, only six players will probably
be awarded letters. Five of these
compose the regular squad. The re-
quirements are that player take
part in 100 actual minutes and take
part I'M at least five different games.
Goar has played in about 20 minutes
although taking part in eight games.
The Butler game will give him an op-
portunity of gaining the required 100
minutes. Football requirements for
letters have also been changes.
Final practice for the Butler game
was held Wednesday afternoon. With
the exception of Carey, all members
of the squad were on hand and In good
physical shape.
The following men will compose the
squad to be taken to Indianapolis on
the LAO car Friday afternoon: Hall,
Goar, Lawler, Pitts, Johnson, Hin
shaw, Davis and Edwards.

New System Of
Fat Reduction

Here's new way for all fat people
to laugh together at that old bugbapoo
Obesity. The saying that there IS
nothing new under the sun" does not
now apply to fat people any more.
Here is something new for thenl-a
new sensation, new pleasure, a new
and graceful figure, easily found by
anyone who is passing beyond the
limits of slimness. Everyone mas
heard of the Marmola Prescription;
that harmless combination of fat
defying elements discovered by one OF
our foremost physicians. Now. from
the same high authority. there comes
another idea-the idea of condensing
these same pure, harmless ingredients
into a pleasant little tablet. Taken
after eating and at bedtime, they help
the stomach to dispose of all the fatty
foods, converting them into compact,
solid flesh, muscle and energy, with
out dieting or exercise. Marmola
Prescription Tablets regulate the en-
tire system-do for you what bodily
exertion and self-denial can not do,
and the fat, once routed. is gone for
good. You can prove all this at a
trifling cost. Marmola Prescription
Tablets are sold by all druggists or
sent post paid by the Marmola Co..

large case-sufficient to bring lasting
results-is but 81.

Daily Stock Letter.


NEW YORK, Feb. 13.-The New
York Evening Suns financial review
today said:
The stock market had another very
weak spell this morning, but the first
time since the decline started there
was a rapid and extensive recovery
from the low figures recorded. For a
brief interval prices melted away
rapidly, declines running from to 10
points.
Observing that stocks were meeting,
with strong support, the bear element
was quick to turn about. The whole
n arket rallied sharply in the second
hour and by early afternoon many
stocks had cancelled their initial de-
clines and showed net gains.
After selling down as low as 95, U.
g. Steel rallied to above 81 at midday.
Many Of the recoveries were as vigor-
Gus as the declines. Crucible, which
fell to 1877 for a IL point loss, and Gen.
eral Motors which dropped 91a points
to 22Sh recovered practically all OF
their losses. The International Mer-
camille Marine shares rebounded
sharply, showing recoveries at one
time Of to 5 points from their low
levels. The oil shares were relative
ly stable during the decline and later
turned quite strong.

NEW YORK, Feb. 13.-The stock
market was strong this afternoon

ing the early hours, but after noon
the market began to Arm and acted
we'll right up to the close.
Crucible got above 200 and Geli-
eral Motors at 242 was up IA points
from the low. Republic was the most
buoyant of the steel issues and at
is highest figure showed an advance
of more than five points over the

The improvement Of the market
was due in part to what the street
