On Christmas Eve.
Half asleep in the shadows
Just out from the hearthlght glow.
Drifting In drowsy dreaming
To tho land OF tho long ago,
l heard-as the ghost Of an echo
AS soft a song unborn,
From the heart OF n long.lost Christmas
The call OF little tin horn.
AS sweet IA the wild pines music.
AS low n mothers prayer.
From ages gray with a thousand SHOWS
1t crcpt through the twilight afr.
And the shadows vanish.
The gray give way TO CLEAN,
As tho Man went back TO the Boy again
on the tide Of a silver dream.
/ closed my eyes IN the darkness
As I heard the tin horn blow
The call to the ghostly cohorts,
Tho troop Of the long ago;
And out from the winter twilight
By the path Of an old. old beat,
heard the echo that answered
In tho patter Of little feet.
With Little Roy Blue" 20 lead them
| saw his troopers come
The little tin soldiers keeping step
To tho roll Of martial drum;
Here wass gallant army.
Valiant beyond all fear
As the roll call sounded down the line.
With each answering Here"
out OF the holly's shadow.
When the duh hearthglow had waned
The eerie drum taps faded
And the army corps entrained
For tho front that knows no morning
AS the last gray twilight nears.
And Little Boy Blue pressed forward
Into the waiting years
Flow. little tin horn OF Christmas
Flow where the weary droop.
And call TO light from the lonesome night
The clan OF the vanished Troop;

H. L. WEIGH, better known to his
friends as Moody WEIGH, is the man.
ager of the elevator at Crete, in Ran
dolph county. Mr.. WEIGH dropped in
to see us on Friday, and the usual
discussion of farm topics, the course
of the markets, etc., ensued. Mr..
WEIGH said that their elevator was
now owned by an incorporation with
10 farmer stockholders.
He made further statement which
very few elevator men in this district
could make. He said they had bought
pile of corn during the winter, and
kept 1t moving out, not attempting to
hold for chance of increased profit.
The general complaint is, you know,
shat feeders are using all the corn and
paying more than the elevators can,
on a shipping basis.
Mr.. WEIGH states that a consider
able acreage of oats had been sown
early, part of which had been wash
ed out by the heavy rains or had been
otherwise kept from growing, so much

That Indiana cattle feeders fully ap-
preciate the economy effected by the
use of silage is very clear when a
study is made of the rations fed on
the farms on which cost records on
fattening cattle have been kept fol-
the past two years by the farmers and
men from the farm management de
partment of Purdue
One hundred and forty farmers oui
of 1S6 on whose farms records were
secured, used silage Ninety-five ouf

generally proved most profitable in tn,
steer feeding experiment conducted b.
the Purdue experiment station for tn
past Is years. The next most com
mon ration used was similar to tn
one mentioned, with the exceptiol
that no cottonseed meal was fed.
The gain on cattle receiving tn

The bulge in wheat at Chicago on
Friday, particularly In the May option,
started. prices upward again at our
country elevators. Charles Carpenter,
of Richmond, advanced his buying
price on wheat to $1.35 on Friday fore
noon, this being the local high spot
In several months.
To country mills and elevators the
price on the various options is not
nearly so important as are current
cash bids on car lots. The spot mar
ket on No red advanced to $1.50 and
$151 at Cincinnati on Friday, While
No was salable at as high as $1.481s
during the day. Number hard
wheat brought $1.45 and better on the
sample tables at Chicago, on Friday.
Red and springs advanced from three
cents to three and one-half cents at
Chicago on the day. Corn and oats
also made gains.
The manager of the -four mill at
Hagerstown said that they had taken
in a few loads of wheat within the
past week at an average of $1.30 a
bushel, but expected to pay more
should any be delivered on Saturday
He said they shipped some wheat to
Baltimore during the winter, and had
it stored. On an earlier bulge of about
nine cents a bushel they had sold il
out and the deal showed reasonable
profit. No corn or oats have beer

Crop Price Declines
The department of agriculture has
given out its estimates of the value
of our farm crops in 1921 and places
the total valuation at $12,366, 000, 900
This is surely tidy sum, but at that
is but little more than one-half the
amount realized on the crop grown in
1919 Further, this was but about
two-thirds of the aggregate value OF
the crops and live stock produced in
1920. which was $4,000, 900.
During this period, 1921, produc
ton of 10 crops, representing about
95 per cent of the total crop acreage
fell eight per cent. Placing the aver
age quality of production of these crops
for the five years, 1910'14, at 100, croT
: production in 1919 was 1903; in 1926
it was III, and in 1921 it was 100 The
,, quantity of corn production in 191.
was about the same during the pre-
ceding seven years, that in 1920 wa:
the largest ever recorded, and that il
! 1921 was the lowest since 1913
The total value of crops declined
from $15,423, 100000 in 1919 to $40
909.000,000 in 1920, and to ST ,02S, 600,
600 in 1921. The decline of the tota
value of animal products on the farm
was from $8,361 900 900 in 1919 t.
354OOO,000 in 1920, and to $3.50,

Humphrey makes up his mind, things

In. this case things begun happen

Parke went home-Mrs. Parke to sit
in Pattys room talking and occasion
ally weeping over the dreadful fact
that most of. their money. was lost,
until the hall clock struck two warn
ing bells. ~.
Mile and Humphrey did not think
of sleep for hours. Mile was in
clined to sulk, but Humphrey deliber-
ately- took no notice of this attitude.
Sulking was no new mood to him, with
Millie-and Patty had suggested that
perhaps a little misfortune would be
good for her. Humphrey hoped so
he was determined to believe so.

Mile stuffed her wet handkerchie
into her belt, and pulled herself out o
