Government Wool Sale.
Our Uncle Sam is showing lot of
consideration for wool producers, and
never puts a very large offering on the
market, relatively speaking. Of the
five million pounds offered at Boston
this week IS per cent was withdrawn,
the bids being considered too low. The
bulk of the offering was in the carpet
or coarse wool class, and were mostly
South Americans.
In the regular Boston market Argen-
tine combing sold at IS and 10 cents.
with carding woods selling as low as
16 cents. The wool market still lacks
life.

Carl Vrooman's Bill.
They ara holding hearings on the
Norris bill at Washington. bill au-
thorizing the creation of a 100000, 900
government corporation to lid in the
export of farm products. Carl Vroo-
man, of the American farm bureau

les of agriculture. is said to be the
chief Trainer of the bill Secretary

this matter. He admits the agriculture

A Word to sheepmen.
| Are your sheep ailing; Is the lining
! of the mouth and evelids pale. Is
| there any swelling under the jaw? II
so. then your sheen are infested with
/ stomach worms, the most common
and worst of all parasites.
! The U. S. Department of Agricul
| ture gives this simple and effective
! remedy: Use a 1 per cent solution Of
| copper sulphate in water. The dose
is ounces for yearling sheep an6
j half as much for lambs months ole
and up. Dissolve Il pound of the sui
plate in a pint of boiling water, ther
add cold water to make total of
gallons. This will be sufficient to trea
100 sheep. Its use once a month during
the grazing season will greatly reduce
or prevent losses from stomach worms
Planting Late Potatoes.

the promptness with which the bugs
have been discovered, they will do
little damage to the field as a whole.
The northern part of the county, in
Guiding Dalton, Ferry, Green and Clay
townships, had infestation in a rather
advanced stage two years ago, and the
bugs are present again this year, but
owing to several liberal rains, they
are not in sufficient numbers to cause
much damage. Al Gordon, of Dalton
township, had a large number a year
ago, but burned over all harboring
places in the fall, and only few are
present this summer. There are
few young ones, however, in an oats
field next to a corn field, and Mr. Cor
don is keeping close watch on them
so as to place barriers and check
them if they start to move.
Rain Kills Pests
Green township had a heavy rain
last Sunday and another Friday, which
was strong enough to kill large num-
bers Of the bugs and check their in
vasion of new fields. H. H. Replogle,
near Economy, said Saturday, I'VE
had heavy rains Saturday and Tues

STOCKS and COTTON
SHOW INFLUENCE ON
WEEK'SWHEAT PRICES

CHICAGO, June 25.-Despite bull
ish crop conditions, the wheat market
this week has shown considerable de-
preston, influenced largely by the &C
ton of stocks and cotton.
Compared with a week ago, wheat
prices this morning were one-fourth
to one cent lower, corn off 2Ac to
34 c, and oats down one-fourth to one
half. Provisions scored gains of 10c
to PIC.
Wheat proved unusually sensitive to
unsettling effects from breaks in the
value of securities and in cote ?
prices. Confidence on the part of
wheat buyers failed, therefore, to de-
Velop any lasting, robust quality, al
though responding in a spasmodic way
to adVlces of drought and heat dam
age in the northwest, and to increas-
lngly serious reports concerning peril
| from black rust. Rains in the south
west delaying the winter wheat har-
I vest were also largely ignored, as we'll
as disappointing figures on yield, to-
| gether with drough talk from France
and Russia. On the other hand, bears
made much of the slowness of export
business except as TO long credit
| ira nsactions with Germany. The DOM
mating Influence in the pit, however,
| appeared to be the fact that traders
| were Keeping an eye mainly on down
ward swings of the stock market.
| Weakness in corn and oats was asso-
! ciated with trouble carriers were hav-
I in
here for corn which had been bought.
NEW YORK, June 25.-Additional
severe impairment of prices attained
another unsettled week in the stock
market Leading shares, rails as VIII
as industrials and obscure specialties,
registered their lowest averages in al
most four years.
i Trade reviews reported further cur
tailment OF production at steel cen
tiers and more cutting of prices in
that industry, together with revised
schedules by automobile manufactur-
ers, pointing to lighter buying power
Some improvement was shown in
, freight car loading, but earnings thur
far submitted for May indicate that
many of the leading railway systems
will fall far behind in the first half
of the year.
Foreign trade figures for May also
show a sharp decline, but information
al remittanCes moved mainly in favor
of this center. The one noteworthy
foreign development was the lowering
, of the Bank of England discount rate.
Domestic money quotations also re
Taxed visibly, most of the federal re-
) serve banks now being on the same
basis Local and interior banks seem
; disposed with the approach of the mid
year to make more liberal purchases

Great Britain Sees Creeping
Paralysis of Industry.
Coal Miners, Bitter, Maintain
Their Firm Stand.
CONTINUE DEFENSE PLANS
Food Distribution Big Problem
ThruOut the Isle.
Little Chance for Peace Unless
Wage Concessions Made.

London, April 1S.-Appalled at the
creeping paralysis attacking her in
dustries Great Britain today lost some
of her joy at the cancellation of the
triple alliance strike.
Hundreds of small businesses closed
their doors today, unable to continue
without increased supplies of coal.
The expense of meeting the situation
and the suffering of thousands of un-
employed continued unabated.
Food Main Issue.
To cut the cost somewhat, the great
food distributing centers were dis
banded and the parks again were
open to the public. Thousands passed
thru the Fairgrounds which few
hours before had been filled with
tins and cases of provisions intended
to withstand labor's siege
Recruiting of defense forces con-
tinued- With the miners still on
strike and radicals in allied organiza- :
tions dissatisfied with cancellation of
their strike order, the government
took no chance on a surprise attack.
The newly recruited forces donned
the government khaki for the first
time last night.
There was an anxious feeling in Of
llCldl Circles IldL the pTODieIH mas HOl
been settled. 1t was feared that un-
less the miners are placated with sub
stantial wage adjustments that serious
difficulties will arise when railway
men and transport workers face q re-
vision of their scales.
Welsh and Scotch Bitter.
Among the miners, the Welsh and
Scotch are bitter. There was little
hope that they will return. to worl
soon. In other districts the strike
funds have been dissipated and the
workers already have shown a desire
to return to the pits and let theil
leaders reach an agreement with col
liery owners on wages.
No steps toward settlement of th'
dispute have been taken as yet but !
was believed the government will at
tempt to obtain coal from othel
sources. permitting the negotiations I,
go forward hurriedly.
There was=slight hope that a rea
peace will result from a miners
meeting called for next Friday.
