Montana, Mr.. Lucas said, was an

DISPUTE ABILITY OF
LITTLE SUB CHASERS

WASHINGTON, Feb. IA dispute
between the navy and the department
of commerce regarding the seaworthi
ness of the little 10 foot submarine
chasers, which played an important
part in driving the German subma-
rines from the seas, has finally en-
eager the attention of Secretaries Dam
iels and Alexander.
The steamboat inspection service of
the commerce department has refused
in one or two cases, it is said, to
grant certificates to the 40 foot boats
Without the certificates the boats are
useless for commercial and pleasure
purposes. Naval officials have plead
ed the cause of the little vessels and
have argued without avail. that of $50

which many crossed the Atlantic not

Yesterday Secretary Daniels and a
number of his aides called an Score
tary Alexander and told him the cir
cumstances. He promised to look into
the matter
The navy has 800 of these little
boats for sale and the action of the
inspectors, it was said, is retarding
their sale.

EGG MARKET SLUMP
Seen IN GREENV|LIE

GREENVILLE, O., Feb. 12-In con-
junction with the reported price
siumps over the entire country, the
bottom has fallen out of the egg mar
ket in Greenville. The market closed
Tuesday night with buyers Offering
the producers 32 cents a dozen, and
on Wednesday a drop of ~ cents was
marked, with farmers receiving 20
cents dozen, and local grocers re-
ceiving 25 cents per dozen retail. This
is the lowest price paid for eggs for
many years.
On one occasion last year the price
dropped to 81 cents wholesale, but
advanced again the same day. A local
poultry and egg wholesale house is
reported to have lost over $4,000 on
the price slump, and other dealers are
predicting that consumers will be
able to purchase eggs at the groceries
for Is cents per dozen within a week.
In addition to the fact that the mild
weather has made hens lay more, it
has been noted that nearly all farmers
in Darke county are raising more
chickens than ever before, which &C
counts for the over supply on the
local market.

Being taken at the same time of the

At the second annual meeting of the
Wayne County Poland China Breeders
association, held at the Centerville
town hall on Wednesday, February
9, plans were laid for a whaling big
pig club and hog show this year. The
Poland China men have decided to ad-
vertise their plans and to print an
entry blank in their copy Tor the con-
venience of the farm children who
desire to feed a purebred pig for ex-
hibit and sale next fall.
The attendance was fairly large and
represented the largest and best
known breeders of the Big Type black
hog. One of the objects of the meet
ing was the presentation of the official
reports on the business of the past
year, also the election of offices for
the ensuing II months.
All Officials Reelected.
Rotation in office was the slogan
of the retiring officers. They were in
favor of giving every member a show
to share the glory of office holding and
also the duties and responsibilities of
such promotion. But there was no
list of ambitious candidates. Far diff
ferent indeed.
The idea that the old officials had
so satisfactorily served that they were
entitled to reelection was the unani-
nous opinion and that is exactly what
happened.
Seven members constitute the Off
cial board as follows: Wood Eliason,
PRESIDENT; Ross Kramer. vice presi-
dent: Porter Pike, secretary, and Wal
ter B. Fulghum. treasurer. Frank A.
Williams, Lewis Kinsey and OFT
Crownover are the members of the
executive committee. The whole bunch
are pushers and every man of them
Poland China enthusiast. They may
be relied upon to push the interest of
the breed and to assist their farm
friends in the building up of purebred
herds. This is sound doctrine. simply
as market proposition, and regard

AS every hogman is aware. breeders
have suffered heavily because of the
decline in market hogs. Their losses
came in large chunks, hundreds of dol

small fortune on a sale herd of fifty
