ALL FARM PRICES RISING

After a week of rising prices of ag-
ricultural products, julius H. Barnes
of Chicago, formerly wheat director
and J. Ogden Armour, the packer, re-
Gently issued statements asserting
that the farmer is coming into his own
again.
Calling attention to the fact that
wheat has advanced almost twelve
cents and corn over two cents within
a week, Mr.. Barnes said:
"It is time to quit telling the farm
er that he is bankrupt. It is time to
quit telling industry that there is no
farm market"
"All farm selling prices are on the
upgrade" he added. "All that the
farmer buys has cheapened. Labor is
plentiful and cheaper, while farm
credit and difficulties have 'eased.'"

Grading Freight Yard
For New Road Bed

The freight yard at the Milford
Railroad station is to be graded and
a new roadbed constructed of mater
ials which it is thought will afford
better conditions for freight hauling
and unloading of freights generally.
The worn-out dirt that will be dug
out and hauled away, will be used for
filling in the lot at the corner of Rail
road avenue and Front street, where
the firemen will start to build their
new fire house next spring. The work
of grading the railroad yard has been
given to William Dickerson, who will
start the work when the weather will
permit. The firemen are having the
wreckage cleared away from their lot
this week-the old iron being removed
by Edward Atkins and the other ma
terial will be used for filling with the
dirt from the railroad yard.

 VERY SLIGHT INCREASE

CHICAGO, December 18-Despite the nearness of Christmas, the fruit and vegetable market for the week ending Monday, showed very slight increase. although the market as a whole was steady and firm according to the weekly review by the United States bureau of markets.
 While cabbage and onions advanced in price, partly due to curtailed ship ments, the potato market was slow and dragging.
 Apples advanced in all leading cities from 25 cents to 75 cents over last weeks price for New York, Michigan and Rhode Island. Greetings and the fancy boxed Jonathans. Celery also was in strong demand and showed an increased price. The cranberry market was in moderate movement. Liberal supplies of sweet potatoes resulted in a falling market.

England Doesn't Need
Gulf Stream Says DanOis

London. Nov. 3-Science has come
forward recently to destroy another
of mans long cherished illusions, put
at the same time it has removed
source of constant anxiety to those
who would attempt to understand
the causes of climatic conditions.
Ar. Danois. the well known hydro
logist, who has made a special study
of the waters of the Atlantic, has de-
clared that the temperate climate OF
the British Isles and the northern
coast of France does not depend on
the Gulf Stream, and that its diver
sion would not therefore leave this
section of the world in the grip of an
Arctic winter NJ Danois claims to
lave proved that the Gulf Stream,
rising to the north of the Antilles,
does not pass the Sarsasso Sea, and
the notion must be discarded that it
traverses the Atlantic to battle the
shores of England and France.
He expresses the view that the
Gulf Stream is merely the backwash
of the equatorial currents. Summer
heat provokes citations of the heavily
sailed equatorial waters, which
translate themselves into permea-
tons Of the more lightly sailed Arctic
and Continental waters. 1t is these
permeations in the eastern Atlantic
which have been mistaken for
branches of the Gulf Stream. They
are, however, purely local currents
and vary according to the season.
