The Dahnke- Walker Mill Property

1t is understood that the sale oil
the Dahnke-Walker Milling Co. mills
and realty held last Monday by the
trustee in bankruptcy, H. c. Stan
field, may not be confirmed for the
reason that the property did not
bring price commensurate with its
market value and that it may bring
more. 1t is understood that counsel
for the creditors are not satisfied
with the result of the sale of the
property for $4,000, and that the
Referee may set the sale aside and
order new sale entirely.
1t is hoped that this may be done
as early as possible, both for the ben
eft of the creditors and the public
generally who want to see the mills
in operation.

Mr.. Lyle Boyd, manager of jim
mics Playhouse, requests us to state
that he has Cancelled all of Roscoe
(Fatty) Arbuckle's screen attrac-
tions. The cinema managers all over
the country are doing the same
thing. Such things as Arbuckle's re-
cent debauch and crime often result
in wholesale criticism Of the pro-
fession, and those who are really art
lists and men and women of discretion
an; moral conscience are condemned
alike with the guilty. Arbuckle, &C
cording to the best standards and
traditions of the drama, was never
more than an ordinary ham," buff
fccn, very crude sample of the his
trionic art. 1t is enc of the misfor-
tunes of the screen mot so much with
legitimate drama) that the physical
charms of the female and the jackass
instincts of the male are capitalized.
Some day this kind of business will
go in the discard as incompetent and
unfit.

Senator Favors Chemical Warfare

New York, Sept. 13.-Prepared-
ness for war with hemicals
would cost only a fraction of the
figure required to maintain large
standing army, dreadnoughts and
heavy ordinances, Senator Irving
Lenroot, of Wisconsin, declared last
night in an address at the opening
of the seventh national exposition of
chemical industries.
AS a member of the Senate Com
mittee on Military Affairs, Senator
Lenroot said he had learned that
80 per cent of the casualties in the
late war were caused by German
gases. Declaring he hoped lin
itation of ornaments would be
agreed upon at the forthcoming
conference in Washington, the
Senator said: ut would be folly
for any nation to rely upon any in
ternational agreement that poisonous
gas should not hereafter be used in
war"
Although heretofore generally con-
dcmned as "crUei," he said, results
showed that casualties from gases
were not more cruel than those from
any other method OF attack"

My individual opinion is that, with

first class streets are being con-

of our own material and working of
our own street forces, the cost of
frst-class street construction could
be cut from fifty to seventy-five per

WelI.Prepared Seed Bed -. e. 49,.
Gives Bigger Crop Yields.

Big clods are not conducive to big
crop yields, according to specialists on
soils, who declare that practically
every soil will respond to careful
preparation of the seed bed before
planting. A seed bed well-prepared
is a crop half-tilled even before the
planting is made they state.
Discing before blowing has been
found to be one Of the best means oil
mixing the soil to fill all air spaces
to prevent the loss of foisture and to
establish capillary connection with
the soil below, according to R. E
Stephenson, crops extension specialist
from the College of Agriculture. Disk
in gmanure and crop residues into the
surface soil has been found to be espe-
oially desirable. Unless this method
of seed bed preparation is practiced
organic matter plowed under may
never become mixed with the soil and
the moisture supply from the substoi
will be cut off.

mendations made are important

SEES DISASTER IN
BIG TOBACCO CROP.

Danville, Va. - The enormous over
production by the tobacco farmers In
the Bright belt is accumulated In the
annual report on local market condi-
tions made by w. Crews Wooding,
president Of the Danville Tobacco AS
ISOLATION. In final plea to the tobac-
co growers to materially reduce their
acreage this year, he poinst out that
the normal crop Of bright tobacco is
approximately 35o,OOO,OOO pounds and
that this quantity has been found suf-
ficient for the trades demands. The
1920 crop reached 675,OOOOOO pounds,
making a surplus of 325,OOO,OOO
pounds, he stated. Unless the 1921
crop is cut very materially, Wooding
declares, the next season will be dis.
astrous,
