SUBSCRIPTION: $3.50 Per YEAR IN ADVANCE

These are dark days for grain
exchanges throughout the United
States. Hard on the heels of the
law passed by the late legislature
prohibiting gambling in futures
has come law enacted by the
Illinois legislature stopping such
and Congress is busy with a bill
designed to make such prohibition
nation wide. Nonpartisan League
circles are busy with propaganda,
the chief object of which is to dis
credit the Minnesota Law on the
ground that it is without teeth.
But Representative Wilkinson of
Washington county, one OF the
authors of the Minnesota anti
grain gambling acs insists that the
act is all that is claimed for it.

over to the heirs. This ordinarily
would take about ten minutes of
anyone's time, but the Office force
here will usually take several days
to accomplish this, and then sit
around and patiently wait until
another case is determined and
disposed of. The work in the
inheritance department here is of
a very intricate nature and &C.
cordingly progresses very slowly,
Mr.. J. H. Rahilv, who has been
working on the inheritance matters
here for the past two years, and
those who are assisting him are no
doubt doing their best to bring
these matters to close, but it does
not follow that because the in
heritance department has not yet
finished it's work that it is ncces-
sary to maintain q full force of
employees in the agency Office
here who are idle half the time.
1t was hoped that when Mr..
Burke assumed the duties OF Com
missioner of Indian Affairs that
the old system would be revised
somewhat, and the superfluous
employees placed in some other
branch of the service where they
might be of some good, and where
at least, they would not he bur
den and expense to the Indian
people.
So far as this agency is con-
cerned we firmly believe that the
work now to be done in the agency
office here would not require more
that superintendent, stenogra-
pher and possibly one clerk to
transact, but up to the present
time no changes of any account
have been made in the personnel
of tho Office employees here. The
same old bunch, continue in their
old positions much to the detriment
aud financial loss to the Chippewas
who have to pay the salaries. >.

the requirements thereof the full
penalty of the law will be assessed

While the town board are doing
their best to enforce the law re-
gardipg the removal of all garbage
or material that is detrimental to
the health of the community, and
thereby comply with the State

the agency here would do weN to
cooperate with them and see to it
that all manure or other nolsome
material is removed from the gov
eminent property adjacent to the
village. At least in two instances
the old manure banking around
the vacant government houses on
the west side of the street over
which only the agency officials
have Jurisdiction, remains un-
touched, and in one instance this
manure has remained where it is
for two seasons, there is also a
large manure pile at this place
that has been growing bigger each
day for the past two years. During
the hot weather this old banking
and manure piles are hot-bed of

serious menace to public health. 1t
is of no avail to have the town
board compel the village residents
on one side of the street to remove
their garbage and rubbish while
directly opposite on the govern
ment property the old decayed
manure banking, manure piles and
other rubbish is allowed to remain
untouched. The agency officials
here should get busy at once and
see to it that this manure and
rubbish on the government prop
erty is removed without delay, and
thereby do their part to comply

Garbage--Last Call.

Last week the White Earth Town
Board convened in special session
to consider the matter of .delin
quents who have not yet complied
with the town board cleaning up
order issued May 1st. Several
residents of the village seem to
labor under the impression that
they are immune t. the town
boards orders and regulations in
the premises. The meeting of the
board was attended by the head of
the local State Board of Health. 1t
was finally decided BY the board
and the representative of the State
Health Board to notify all delin-
quents that they must comply with
the boards order as also with the
provision of the law which applies
IN the premises, viz: Chap. SO,

will be instituted against all delin-
quents who fail to comply with the
orders of the town board and re-
move all manure, garbage or other
noisome material from their said
premises. The maxium penalty
provided in the Statutes mentioned
is $4,000 or one year imprison'
ment in the county Jail or both; it
is also provided that the town
board may proceed to hire out the
removal of such manure dumps, or
other unsightIy garbage or refuse
and the expenses thereof shall be
assessed against the property from

Next year will see the inaiction
of the new tonnage tax law as
passed by the legislature and not a
little interest is being manifested
by the tax experts in the matter
of it's endorsements and the much
talked of benefits to the state as
whole. That it will be litigated
is more than possibility, in which
case years may elapse before the
benefits claimed are realized. Adj
ditional litigation may a lso feature
any attempt to enforce the local
per capita expenditure act which
concerns Range municipalities
principally and which some claim
to be an infringement on home
rule rights. To be plain about it,
tax experts are not particular "
enamored of either act. The out.
come is very doubtful and may
involve the entire tax system as it
relates to the Range. Under the
new law whichis tax on the &C.
cupation of mining, six per cent
tax is imposed on the value of each
ton Of ore Mined the taxable
value being arrived at after GER
tain deductions covering the min
ing of the same have been made.
Mining companies have until next
February to report concerning ore
mined, sitter which the imposition
and the collection of the tax will
follow. Million Of dollars, it is
claimed will be added to the rev.

81 600, 900 Shale Oil Corporation to Begin
Operation Within 9 Miles Of Mt. Sterling

The Central Shale Oil Corporal
ton, incorporated under the laws Of
Delaware for $1,0O0,O00 capital
stock, the stock being largely owned
by Pittsburgh and Ohio parties, has
purchased outright about 1000 acres
Of land on Slate creek about 9 miles
from this city on the X. & s. A.
division Of the @ 8 O., and weather
permitting, will begin work within
the next few days as preliminary
steps to- the construction of plant
by which oil will be taken from the
shale and utilized.
Mr. v. o. Foulk,. of Pittsburgh,
secretary Of the company, is in this
city, and is our authority for all in
formation contained in this article.
He states there is on this 1000 acres
Of land sufficient shale to supply a
plant having daily capacity of
1000 tons for 300 years. The COM
pany will start with 250-ton daily
capacity as unit, and estimate that
they will within few years reach a
capacity Of several thousand tons
daily. The first work will be the
construction of a switch three
fourths of mile in length to the K.
& S. A. Railroad, going up Town
Branch to a point where the plant is
to be located. The company esti-
mates its ultimate expenditure at
100000. 1t is estimated there is
sufficient shale on the acreage of
the company to produce 40,000,0OO
barrels of oil of high grade equal
to the Pennsylvania oil. This oil
will be refined, producing gasoline,
kerosene, lubricating oil, paraffin

Tobacco Meeting
Is Well Attended

A tobacco meeting attended by
between four and five hundred grow
ers, was held at the courthouse yes
terday afternoon. Judge Henry r,
Prewitt presided over the meeting
and addressed the growers on the
subject of the problems now con-
fronting them. Judge Prewitt urged
the farmers to keep their low grades
Of tobacco off the markets and to
bring in only their better grades. He
also pointed out the wisdom of cut
ting out altogether the 1921 crop
stating that manufacturers already
had on hand three Years. supply
Of the weed. The growers we're en-
thusiastic. in their support of the
movement and unanimously voted
for the cutout.

MAKE MT. SrERLlNa
A DISTRIBUTING POINT

BY way Of an introduction and
our coming before the public and
our prospective customers of Mt.
Sterling we wish briefly to tell you
something, of our people and our
products.
First, the Robinsons of West Vir-
ginia, whom we represent, have an
orchard of 500 acres, bearing. They
had a crop of more than 10000 bar
rels of fine winter apples of their
own growing in 1920. They began
spraying before the bloom appeared
and continued once each week until
apples were half grown. They were
still spraying when the writer was
visiting their orchard in July. The
crop was gathered in fine shape,
hand picked, and machine graded,
insuring a uniform grade and quail
ity of fine color and entirely free of
worms. In coming here with full
car load we felt it somewhat of a
venture, but we feel with coop
GRAFTON of the people we can estab-
fish business that will be mutual
benefit to oar patrons and ourselves.
That is, by making a saving to the
trade of so or 60 cents per barrel
local freight from Cincinnati and
Lexington. If we can save you APP
proximately hundred dollars on
each ear, and we can by your hearty
cooperation, have your patronage
and make Mt. Sterling distributing
point.
Very respectfully,

Inclement Weather
Makes Business Dull

Monday was one Of the coolest
Of the winter, preceded by week Of
snow and sleet, making the weather
very disagreeable, which made it ind
possible for the mountain people to
bring in a large number Of cattle,
but what we're here sold at about
the same range of prices as those Of
December court. There was a car
load Of good mules here from Ohio
that we're sold at auction, bringing
from 5000 to $500 per pair, with one
very fine pair selling for $500. The
small run Of cattle of today is indi-
cative of a large rum for February
court.
Good steers sold mostly by the
head at IL to cents. Heifers 9
to z cents. Gamers, 2 to 3 cents.
Bulls 1-2 to cents. We predict
a large run Of cattle for February

wax, fire proof roofingmaterial, rub
Der tire filler, ammonia, which will
be converted into high grade fer
tilizer, making 40 pounds to each
ton Of shale and is valuable by
product. This shale will also pro-
duce a fuel gas sufficient to run the
entire plant and also supply the city
Of Mt. Sterling and other nearby
cities.
The remnant of the shale rock, af-
ter the OIL gas, etc, have been re-
moved, in the opinion Of Mr.. Foulk,
can be converted into cement equal
to the Portland Cement, and would
prove a great aid to road construc-
ton in this county. The company
hopes to arrange with the railroad
officials to run a special mornings
and evenings so that the laboring
classes may live in Mt. Sterling,
where such a force Of men as is con-
templated would be great help to
this city. le .S0 tff
AS we understand the industry,
the business of removing oil from
shale is not new undertaking, but
one that has been in practice in sew
eral of the foreign countries for the
past half century with much sue
cess, and according to experts, oil
can be procured in this manner at a
less cost than drilled from the
ground, to say nothing of the many
valuable by-products.
Mr.. Foulk s-very enthusiastic over
his company and according to his
statements there is absolutely no
doubt as to the success of the enter
| prise. Il tU fu gt

Half Of Population
Live in the Cities

For the first time in the courfry's
history, more than half Of the popu-
lation Of the continental United
States is living in urban territory.
Persons living in cities and towns of
more than $500 when the 1920 cen
sus was taken numbered 54,31S,032,
the census bureau announced, while
those living in rural territory num-
bered 51,39O,739.
The population of the cities and
towns in 1920 showed gain Of Sc
per cent over that in 1910, and was
51.4 per cent Of the total population
Of the country. The proportion OF
urban population is larger than in
1910 in all but three states-Colo-
RADIO, Montana and Wyoming-the
largest increase being that for Mich
igan-from 47.2 in 1910 to GIL per
cent in 1920, Texas, Indiana, Ohio,
Florida and Oklahoma also showed
considerable gain in the proportion
of population living in urban terri
tory.
The bureaus statement did not
undertake to account for the drift
from the rural to urba, territory,
but previously officials there have
attributed it largely to the World
War. Large salaries in the cities at
tracted many from the country,
while many soldiers who lived on
farms before joining the army took
up life in the cities after their dis
charge.
In total urban population, New
York leads the country, while Penn
sylvania stands second, Illinois is
third, Ohio fourth, Massachusetts
fifth and New Jersey sixth. Rhode
Island has the highest percentage Of
urban population compared with its
total population with 81. 5 per cent

opened in this CITY this morning,
after having been closed since jan

faction among growers owing to the
price offered by the manufacturers.
Although the price is still low and
nothing to be compared with prices
Of the past two years, the market
showed considerable Improvement
over the openinc sale. A large crowd
was on the floor and bidding was
spirited. the REYNOLDS Company be-
ING the laegest buyer Of the mosn-
inc. Prices ranged from fourth
cent to AZ cents per pound, and
there were practically no reflections,
farmers seeming to have decided to
accent the best. offer The quality
being offered over the Farmers
floor this morning was very inferior
and the floor average will likely be
very low. The sale at this house will
likely be completed this afternoon
and the next sale win, be held at the
Whitehall, followed by the Robert
son. All floors are filled and there
are MANY wagons waiting to be un-
loaded.
