Jjefiediction by the Rev.

The margaxn of profit in cattle has always, be small and for this reason the feed­ ers realize that with corn a t the pre­ sent price there can be no profit un­ less beef prices go up. It is reported that one local buyer dropped several hundred dollars within the past week due to shipping cattle to market and selling for less than he phid for them. It is said that the government is put­ ting. the surplus meat on the market that .was contracted fo r the army and :his sent the market down.' I t costs more -to hold beef owing to refrigera­ tion charges while smoked -pork can be sent to any market in th e .world without much loss. This is the reason advanced fo r hogs staying up in price while 4jgef falls. Cattlemen say there is hot much chance of cattle going up when the packing houses are full of dressed beef and the packers not buy­ ing 'asthey have heeh in the past, ‘ ONLY A FEW A&RESTS* ‘(Continued on Page) INTERNATIONAL AGAIN.

ATTENDED WHEAT MEETING- NO LOCUSTS HERE YET. ■ Hr ■ • • Have you seen the 17-year locust? This much-talked of insect is in some sections Of the state but as yet none have been reported in this town­ ship, The nearest is Yelloy Spring# and from the specimens.*we have seen they are the genuine cicada as the college professor would say, A report from Prof, Osborn of the O, S. U. is that the real locust is the common, or garden variety of grass­ hopper; and grass-hopper, be it known, arc the fellows that do ‘dam­ age to crops. I t s the female of the cicada or 17 y ea r' locust th a t does damage to trees, As yet the locust has not made up his or her mind to stop with us. A meeting id farmers was held at Community hall in Dayton Monday in the interest of wheat grading, a thing th a t farmers believe is not fa r dis­ tant. In former years few farmers exercised proper cars in selecting seed wheat to lee that it was free of rye and weed seed and.that the varie­ ty was suitable to the soil. This year £ 1 arge part of the vrhett has consid­ erable rye in it and It is predicted tha t if this is allowed to stand the price will be affected. Those from here that attended were Arthur Cum­ mings, Herrey Bailey, Morgan Ken- non and J. II. Andrew.

Under the terms of the will the state gets the farm on condition tha t fio religious services of any kind can be held on it. The farm was^ appraised a t something, like $1,900 an acre which means that by the state taking over the property With that valuation an enormous fee can be drawn. There has been some opposition to th* plan from church sources owing to the clause in the will forbidding religious services. OPENS NEW GARAGE.

Farmers are greatly pleased over the stand taken by the. sheriff as this class of people have been an annoyance for years, WHAT IS CHEAT? Farmers are a t present discussing with considerable interest just whal cheat in wheat is and where It comes from. The present wheat crop seems to have more cheat in it than most farmers thought and the argument is that cheat is damaged or blasted wheat. Some are of. a different opin­ ion and hold that it cannot come from wheat. For years past i t has been ad accepted belief that cheat is damaget wheat. DIFFERENCE IS NOTED. I t has been stated for many years that local option had more o r less bearing Ontrade in a town surrounded by wet trading centers. Now that all the adjoining towns are dry ,-mer­ chants feel that they have a fairer { charce a t holding a .certain class of traue, Last Saturday was the first un» er the new local option law and the difference in size of the Saturday night crowd in town was quite notice­ able. Many men who have always been in the habit of spending their Saturday nights during the summer in a nearby city Were found in town last Saturday night. / SUES TRACTION COMPANY. WILL OIL THE ROADS.
