ALARM CLOCK GOES
OFF-THIEF CAUGHT

Spokane, Wash. - An alarm clock
included In the loot Of daylight rob
berry proved jinx for thirteen-year-
old boy burglar here. Tn youth, ap-
pretended while looting house in the
suburbs, fled into thick clump Of
pines, closely followed by a resident
of the district.
The youth had apparently made his
escape when the alarm clock began to
ring and the chase was on. Flying
heels carried the boy out of reach but
not until his identity had been re-
vealel.
Police officers who visited the home
to arrest the youth found the family
in such an impoverished condition that
each of the "cops" contributed 50 for
temporary relief, The youth is being
held by the juvenile officers pending
investigation.

HIGHWAY WORK
GETTING UNDER WAY.

Reports to The Asphalt Association,
New York, show that the extent to
which the highway construction pro-
gram fthe nation is getting under
way at this early stage Of the season.
During the week ending April 20, 1921,
a total Of 1Sg contracts for new roads
and streets weer awarded, involving
an expenditure Of $17,S57,304 During
the week ending April 16, total of
1872 contracts were let, amounting to
$14,512,72S. Road and street construc-
ton is leading al lother building in
dustries. For the two weeks mention
ed, road and street contracts were let
to the extent of sS2,37O,o32, water sup
ply contracts to the extent of $4,2S5,-
465, sewerage and sanitary contracts
to the extent of $S,264,S99, and
bridge contracts to the amount Of ST.
381,4S7. 1t will be seen from these
figures that the amount of money be-
ing spent for highway work is more
than double the amount of money be-
ing spent on all the other public i'm
provements combined. 1t is nearly
eight times the value of water supply
work, nearly four times the value Of
the sewerage work and nearly sixteen
time sthat of the bridge work. Eleven

Mr.. P. e. Goodrich, Of Goodrich
Bros, at Winchester, Ind, says that
they are beginning to buy wool, have
been paying II cents for it. and that,
SO far as they have learned, II cents
is the highest price so far paid by
buyers in that section. They claim
that heeces are coming in daily, al
though it is a bit early and receipts
are small, compared to expectations
two or three weeks later, with warm
er weather. Mr.. Goodrich admits
that this is very low figure for the
nice, clean fleeces" so far marketed
but adds: Looks as If the United
States has a two-years stock of wool
on hand right now. 1t has been COM
ing in in ship loads, in anticipation OF
the new tariff or a temporary embargo
because the wool growers of various
countries prefer American dollars to
their own domestic wool"
Farmers Buy Little Feed.
The Goodrich Bros. Hay and Grain
Company are large dealers and ship
pers and cover quite a wide field in
their transactions. Mr.. Goodrich says
that the present comparatively low
pAISCo 1OI locus anu SIuuS are
not tempting to farmers up theft way.
He claims that farmers are feeding
home grown stuff, grinding and mix.
ing their grains, and that with the
exception Of tankage, which is in fair
request, very little commercial feeds
are moving. Randolph county farm
ers are averse to selling corn or oats
at present prices, and this means that
grain is coming in in driblets.
Big Demand for Grass Seed.

clover and timothy seed this spring

Mr.. Goodrich. This, we Judge. indi

Farmers are not now complaining

| Paying $3.50 for Hogs.
In little chat with Fred Schlientz
Of Eldorado. Thursday Afternoon, hi
stated that they had bought hogs a
$3.50 all day, also that he had picked
up Is calves this week. Asked as tt
the marketable supply of hogs AROUND
Eldorado, he stated that: Just wheI
we thing the country is cleaned out O.
marketable sized hogs. we discover
our mistake, for they will keep con,
ing in until we have a car or two K
ship. In fact live stock keeps movins
all the tir,e, but in greater quantit,

AS to grain. Mr.. SchlientZ said the.
