SUGAR DEMAND DROPS

Concluded from page
limitations, retailers felt it advan-
tageous to limit purchases during
the initial period of peak demand,
in order that their supply might
not be exhausted before additional
shipments could be received.
Agricultural department officials
last week. discounted reports that
some distributors might hold back
supplies for high profit sales after
next October 81, when price control
ends.
The greatest danger from that
source, they pointed out, is more
likely to come from housewives buy
ing excessive amounts to hoard in
their pantries, in hope of escaping
whatever price increase there may
be at that time.

pigs in 1947. The spring pig crop
should produce approximately 3d.
100000 head, and the years total of
88,OO0,000 would provide adequate
meat supplies for 1948. Beef supplies
arc likely to be lower in 1948 than
this year, and a good consumer de-
mand for meat is expected in the
spring and summer of 1948.

ing and dancing. The songs We're
loud and boistrous and the dances
jealous.
The peculiar bodily contortions ac-
companying such dances were a SIM
uiation of movements the heavenly
hosts had engaged in when Joseph
Meacham, one of the early leaders,
had seen them in vision.
It all started when Union Village
was Bedle's Station and had a little
log church called the Turtle Greek
church. That was in 1903 when Leb-
anon had two log houses and popu-
lation of four persons. Hamilton then
was Rossville and had population
of a few disbanded soldiers.
Kentucky Evangelist
That year Richard MeNemar, an
evangelist from Kentucky came to
the little Turtle Creek church and
held a great revival. At the meetings
his flock prayed, shouted, jerked,
barked, rolled, dreamed and prophi-
sled and looked as though, through
a glass at the infinite glories of III
on"
Then in 1906 three strangers with
broad brimmed hats and dress like
"the followers of George Fox in Eng
land a generation before" arrived at
the Turtle Creek church. They were
Meacham, Benjamin S. Youngs and
1ssachar Bates, and had walked the
1000 miles from New Lebanon, N. Z
All were disciples of Ann Lee, who
claimed to be in person the second
coming of Christ and called herself
"Ann the Word" This time she de-
clared, Christ came as a woman.
Ann was the daughter of an litter
ate blacksmith in England. She had
founded the Shakers sect in England
in 1747, but when she declared 'sthe
wrath of God against marriages,
she was put in a mad-house. By ITO
she had gotten out and migrated tc
America. She founded the sect here
and died in 1874 after converting
many persons.
Maleham Worley was the first tt
be converted at Turtle Greek church
He was man of unblemished char
acter, liberal education and mucl
wealth. However, he had tempera
mental complex and engaged in suci
wild antics during the revival tina
many thought him insane.
Many converts owned considerabl,
land which they turned over to tn,
society and soon the Union Villag,
organization had 1000 acres of ex
cellent land surrounding the spo
where the log church stood.
The Shakers in Warren Count.
were noted for their cleanliness ant
exemplary conduct. They took nj
part in politics or military affairs
and only mingled with the outsid,
world when it was necessary to dis
pose of their agricultural products o
secure supplies. All were spiritual
lists and though il was before tn,
days of table-rappings and stand
fittings, they believed they had !
living intercommunication with tn
dead.
Society Grows, Dwindles
From small start in 1903 and tn
| formation of the society in 1906 tn
Union Village group had about so
members in 1929. However, after tn
death of McNemar 10 years later
membership had fallen to 400 b.
1845 and to only 70 or 80 by 1896
Ten years after, nearly all wer
gone.
