LET McADOO DO IT, ' Stan* is much comment on th* pos- •ibflltar o f President Wilson going *- Inroad .to attend the peace conference. Some writers oppose the President leaving this country, an almost un­ heard o f thing for ap American ex- •o ^ v e . . There i«mo doubt that the presence of America'# president bn such an occasion would result in a reception such as was never before given a die­ tary on foreign soil. There need be no., cause for worry shout things at -home not running right just because President Wilson intends going away, He ha* already placed most o f the big business o f the country in hi# son-in-law's bands for management so why should we worry Mr. McAdoo is running the coun­ try's financial system, our railroads, express companies, and one or two other small jobs father-in-law has seen fit to give him, so things should proceed just Us they have in the past. Then we have Postmaster General Burleson tp hand out the post office patronage and fpr a side line manage the telephone and telegraph, lines. 1We see ho cause for worry over the management of home affairs- fo r no doubt Mr. Hoover left wSrd before his' departure for Europe as to what we shall eat and When) then Mr, Gar field will see that we get plenty of coaVto keep ua warm, after the-Gar­ field families get theirs, so it looks like everything is jin good, shape for H ie ’President to leave. ©n£ Reason.for Men's Pockets. , One reason ainan has- more pockets than a wornah is because his collar is too tight to permit Mm to throw,things' down his shirt front, — Galveston News. t Uncle Eben. , “Daria generally a Mg disappoint­ ment cornin’," said Uncle Eben, "to de man dat gits hisSelf elected, to office 'cause he’s1 lookin’ foh epsy work," HOW'S THIS?

P R O N E 2*120 Ohio NEW PUNFOI STABILIZING Nfil PRICES The following official statement of tftsl importance te the agricultural interests has been issued by the Food Administration as the conclu­ sion* ot a conference, between the fivestack subcommittee of the *Srt- cottunl advisory beard, Including special members, representing the serine Industry, and ef the Food Ad­ ministration: "The enttre marketing situation has so changed sines the September. conference as to necessitate ah en­ tire alteration in the plan of price stabilisation, Tbp current peace talk has .alarmed the bolder* of com and* thsare bas'been a price decline a t from 25 cents to 40 cents per bushel. "The fact .that the aecnmRation of low priced com. in the Argentine and South Africa would, upon the advent of peso*, and liberated ship­ ping, become available to the Euro­ pean Market, ha# created a great deal Of apprehension, ipn.'the part of corn holders. TM b . decline has spread fear among swine growers that a sim­ ilar reduction' in the price# of M* b would naturally follow. Moreover, the lower range of com prices Would, if incorporated in .a 13 to 1 ratio, obviously result in. a continuously falling price for live hog#. „ . Rush Hogs to Market "Tn^view ot these changed condi­ tions many swine .producers antcipat- ed lower •prices -and, as a result; rushed their'hogs to market in large numbers and this over-shipment has added to and aggravated the decline. "Th® information, of the Depart­ ment o t Agriculture" indicates that the supply of hogs ha# Increased about 8 per chat, while the highest Unofficial estimate doe# not exceed 1.5 per cent increased production .over last year. On th e . other hand, the arrival of hog# during the last three weeks in the seven 'great markets has been 27 per cent mom than last year, during the corresponding period, demonstrating the. unusually^heevy marketing of the available supply. "In the. face of the excessive re­ ceipts, some packers .have not main­ tained tbe price agreed last month. On the other hand many of the pack­ ers have-paid over the-pries offered, to them in an endeavor to maintain the agreed price. The result In any event b is .been a failure to maintain the October primJM sit determined upon In the SepMteber conference and undertaken,by th*-packer*. An: Other factor contributing to the break’in. prices during the month has been ’the- induetwa epidemic; it lies 'sharply curtailed the oossumptikm of pork products and temporarily -4e-r ,creased tbs labor staff of the- packer* about 25 per-cent- “The exports of 198,000,000 pounds of pork products' for -October, com­ pared with abort 52,M6,OM pounds In October a year ago, and the wport orders placeebts by the Food. Admin­ istration for November, amount to 170,050,000, oontrasted with 1the lesser exports of 28^00,000 -for No­ vember, 1*17. ‘ 'r Allies Demand Increaee. - "The Inoreased demands o t the al­ lies are continuing and gre in them­ selves proof of the necessity for the large production for which the Food Administration asked. The increase In export demands appears to be am­ ply sufficient to take up the increase in bog production, bUt unfavorable mark^b conditions existing in October afford no fair index of the aggregate supply and demand, ■. "It mufttbe evident that, tee enorm­ ous shortage in fats in the central empires and neutral countries would immediately upon peace result In ad­ ditional demand* for pork products, which, on top of the heavy shipmeat to the allies, would tend materially to Increase the American exports, In­ asmuch as no considerable reservoir of supplies exists outside of the United States. •** “It seems probable that the'pres­ ent prospective supplies would be in­ adequate te meet this wSrid demand with the return ‘of peaoe. So far as It is possible to interpret this fact, it appears that there should be even a stronger demand for pork products after the werr and, therefore, any alarm of hog producers as to the effect of peace is unwarranted by the outlook. "In the light of these circum­ stances, It is the conclusion of the oofereace that attempts to hold the prioe of hogs to the price of corn may work out to the disadvantage of pork producers. It is, the conclusion' that any interpretation of the formula should be a broad-gauged policy ap­ plied over a long .period, Substitute New Plan. “It le the opinion of the confer­ ence that in substitution of the pre­ vious plains ot stabilisation tbe live­ stock subcommittee of the agricul­ tural advisory board, together; with the especially invited swine repre­ sentatives, should accept the invita­ tion of the Food Administration to join with the Administration and the packer in determining the prices at Which controlled export orders are to be placed. This will be regularly done. The influence of these, orders will be directed to tbe maintenance of the common object, namely, the stabilisation of the price of live hog-, Among other good coffees we have a fresh shipment o f Red Bird at Nag- fey’m Best developing an<l printing done by Clarke Nagley, Leave Illqis at Naglcy’s grocery.

The average of packers’ droves to be construed as tea aver-, age cf the total sole* to the market, qf all hogs for a given day. All the -above to be based on Chicago. " ‘We agree teat a committee shall be appointed by the Food Adminis­ tration to check the daily operations in tee various markets, with a view to supervision apd demonstration of the carrying out of the above. The ability of the packers to carry out this arrangement will depend upon there-being a normal marketing of boss based upon the proportionate' increase over the receipts of last. "year- ,<* , ,, “ ‘The increase in production ap­ pears to be a maximum"of about 15- per'cent and We can handle such an increase. If tee producers of hogs should, as they have to the past few- weeks, prematurely market hogs at. suite increasing number* over tee. above,* it is entirely beyond tee abllv Ity of the packers to maintain these minimum*, and therefore we must have tee co-operation .of tee producer- himself Jo maintain these results. It is a physical impossibility for tee capacity of tee packing house# to handle a similar over- flood of bogs and to And a market'for tee output. The packers are anxious to co-oper­ ate with the producers to malntain- iag th e stabilisation ot price^and; to see teat producers receive a fair prioe for their products, ' “ ‘(Signed.) THOMAS E. WILSON, “ 'Chairman Packers’ .Committee.* “The plan embodied ’ above was adopted by the conference, Wilt Check Operations. • "The Fo<>d Administration has ap­ pointed a committee comprising; Mr. Thomas E. Wilson, Chaiman of the 'Packers* Committee; Mr. Hhrerett Brown, President of the Chicago Live Stock' Exchange; Major Boy of the Food Administration, and Mr. Louis D. Hall of tbe Bweea of Mari loots, to undertake tbe sepOrvlsion of tee ekeention Of the plan to tee various markets* Ocmmkutoa men are asked to eooperwte to eerrytng 'put tee plan embodied to tbe »aok-.,v era’ agreement, ' It must be evident-’ that offers by eOsunttetoa men to’ sell hogs below tee minimum “estab- liehed above is not fair, either to the producer, or tee periictpetiag pack­ ers. Mr, Brown has undertaken, on- behalf of the commieefen'meu ot the, Uaited States, tha t tbey win loyelly. sepport the plan. “It is ^believed by tee oonference that this hew plan, based as It is upon a positive mJcteawm basis, will bring better reeuito to tee producers than average prices tor the month. It does a rt Unit top prices and should narrow tbs margins necsseary to country buyers, in a more variable market. It is believed that the plan' sheuld work, out dose to 618 average. “Swine producers ef tee eesntry wtS. contribute to their interest by not flooding the market, tor it mart he evident that If bn excessive over, perceatege of hogs is marketed to any one baontb, price stabilisation and control con not seeoeed. And it. is certain that produoars themselves* can contribute mnteriatiy to the ef­ forts of the oonfersnee, If they will -do their markettng in as normal n way as possible. “The whole etteatlen as existing at. present demands n freak and explicit assurance front the conference rep-! resented, namely, teat every poeei- ble effort will be made to matetato- a live hog pri^e commensurate with* swtoe prodnotien Sect and reason-: able selling values, to eaecutton of the declared poBcy of tko Food JA-, mtolrtratk» to use every agenoy In’ its control to secure justice to tee farmer. The stobiUsatfen methods adopted for November represent the* best efforts of the conference, con­ curred In by the Food Adxninletmtloa and the Livestock eeboommittee of- the Agrieultucsl Beard, together with, special swine members, and the rep­ resentatives of the packers, to lm-1 prove the present unsatisfactory sit­ uation which 1ms unfortunately re-, suited because of the tojecUen of natontrollnble factor*.

The New York manufacturers had a great many,orders from their regular cus­ tomers m work at the time for which theywere obliged to accept cancella­ tions, and a good manufacturer is like a good retailer—be will not let goods remain in his plsce long, but figures first loss best loss, As a result our Mr. Levy, who was in New York last week, was able to buy about 300 Coats and 250 Dresses, all the pro­ ducts of the very best manufacturers. They were bought at a price that en­ ablesus to offer them at 25 to 50 per cent less than thsy would ordinarily sell for- . l l l l H W I i l l M t t H I l l J M M l W H E R E T H E S T Y L E S A R E SH OW N F IR S T 24 E, Main St ' Springfield, Ohio A N um ber o f S p e c ia l P u rch a se s o f C oa ts a n d D re sse s * ■ Enables Us To Offer Most . * ■■’.
